Bitcoin Forum

If you are just starting your Bitcoin and crypto journey, this advice is strictly for you. I have been in this space for a long time and have experienced both success and regrets, but today I want to share a very important advice.

Look around you, the world is nothing but a rat race. Everyone is running here and there, chasing after anything they can find just to make some money. I’m not saying this is wrong, but I want to remind you that we don’t have an unlimited lifespan.

The reason I prefer Bitcoin is because of it's usefulness, having some small part of BTC can give you a easy future. Having some BTC can help you achieve a stress-free life compared to someone who ia running the rat race until the very end.

I know someone who lost his life after years of working tirelessly without enough rest. His clients would bring him their work, and he would spend all day and night trying to get the job done. He was paid in return but barely enjoyed his newly completed house, he died just two weeks after it was completed.

Don’t go the extra mile just for a job. If you die trying you can always be replaced. In the end, death is inescapable.

Be picky which with jobs you choose to do, make sure it is not taking a ton on your health, and always plan for your old age just in case.

Do you think people who earn a good amount of profit by investing in Bitcoin will stop to work? :P

Numbers are infinite, people always looking for extra mile in order to make money. Someone who get a high salary and have a good amount of money could die after they start to invest in Bitcoin, the price goes opposite than what they expect.

There's no relation between health and Bitcoin investment, money can make you healthier and unhealthy, be wise.

The opportunity in earning money is a privilege; and earning BTC through various means is a luxury that should be a necessity for everyone.

The opportunities per country vary depending on the financial capability and status of such. For example, first world countries may offer tons of opportunities and privileges that lack on third-world countries. Though this is the reality, this should not stop and be a barrier for everyone to aim for success.

Having BTC as an investment is nothing but a blessing that everyone should be aware of. While I do agree that being determined helps in achieving one's goal, everything must still be grounded on a solid framework and realistic goals.

That's a great thread for you, but your headline is not matching with your post. Why AI post? Shouldn't you use your head for writing this Thread

What? For real? I used Grammarly to correct some words I am not aware that this can be a problem, will fix right away thanks.

an employee needs to think about investing for their future because they can't just rely on their salary to survive, they need to build their wealth slowly from the money they set aside from their salary to invest in assets that have the potential to grow in value in the future... and bitcoin is the right one for that. investing in bitcoin is not difficult like stocks or other assets, a person only needs to buy bitcoin and hold it in their wallet, and let it grow. no need for account settings or other complicated things. just need an understanding of the risks and commitment to investing in the long term. surely if a person has this way of thinking then in the future they can reap the results of their investment.

I am not advising anyone to stop working just because they invested in BTC, I am simply telling them to take things slow, I have seen people died because they overwork themselves just because they are chasing a goal.

It affects the body over time and sickness could occur, it happened to me too, I worked my ass off to invest in Bitcoin, I spend have of my money trying to fix my health, I was so determined, which isn't a crime but I forget that I was human after all.

I walk miles to get to work every day, break sweat on jobs, I nearly died when I started to get sick.

Seems you are missing the point, he is not against working but against doing jobs that will take a ton in your health. I agree with him, many people are exposed to risk but for the sake of money, they ignore the signs. Some are doing multiple jobs with no time to rest and he is saying that such actions are not right because the results are normally felt at old age. Bitcoin in as he describe can help during retirement because if you actively invest in Bitcoin now, you will not have to work so hard when your strength begins to faith and there the chances that your money will grow as the price of Bitcoin rises.

I wonder only informative post is tagging as AI post. Other's are not marking as AI generated. Your own opinion not marking as a AI generated only those post which is include some information are marking as AI post .

But, although I agree that investing in Bitcoin can be a good retirement plan, it is not something sure. So maybe, in line with the opening thread, taking profits from time to time could help you live a life with less stress, without having to wait until that age. Look at what he said, he used to walk miles every day to get to work, but with Bitcoin's help he can work in a job with a lower salary but better conditions.

In my estimation I can add that while you are determined, you should find fulfilling work. Find a work that you love something that you wake up to everyday and you will never work another in your life if you do. And while you wish to work hard, remember to play hard. There should be a balance it is when there is no balance that things fall apart and these things include but not exclude your health, your relationships, family and life. Bitcoin is a good investment and while you are at it just remember to have fun.


I don't see any problem with this. Just make a small note that you used Grammarly to fix the grammar. To prevent any accusations.

Health is an important part of our life's we should always consider in our pursuit for happiness.

Some may, while some may not but above all one thing is certain, they would not want to work themselves tirelessly just to earn more.

When someone is certainly making good profit that can sustain them after retirement, they may just want to focus on their passion or other things of interest, having time for family's, friends and for themselves. The number of deadlines they would have to meet would definitely reduced, even if they are aiming to get more.

Actually there are relationship between health and Bitcoin investment.

All these about keeping your coins safe, HODLing, having emergency funds or not putting all your funds in Bitcoin investment(even any other), e.t.c are among key ways of having healthy life after investment.  All these can affect once negatively especially when things are not going as planned for the main time or they lost their funds.

The point everyone should grab is as you labor yourself, make sure you have some rest and run comprehensive check-ups on yourself at least once every three months or six months. Don't go over stressing yourself because you want to meet up in financial capability of providing for yourself and your family. What happens if the unknown happens? You lose your life in the process or have a financial bankruptcy. Don't you think that those people you labor for all day long will find ways to survive without you? They will even forget in no short time. What is the reason to overwork yourself when you can invest in Bitcoin, In years to come, you can achieve financial freedom and employ others to work for you. That way you make life success easy on your side

Unfortunately, many Nigerians no longer have this luxury. They cannot be picky as much as they want, even though they consider their health because they are also considering their stomach too, which will be the first to strike even before their health. This is the stage the economy has put us in.

You will be surprised at the level of work and risk some bitcoin investors in Nigeria put themselves into just to be able to get the money needed for Naira cost averaging.

Bitcoin investment alone cannot still guarantee a bright future, because the future outcome itself is still quite unpredictable. We need to have a stable job, then let bitcoin investment becomes our side hustle, our side source of income. The only key here is to learn how to balance between your job and your investment. Manage your time, as it can’t be work and work, or invest and invest, but both should be given precise time in order to maximize their outcomes.

If you can use your head, then use it at your highest advantage. Do not just work, but invest as well, or the vice versa. Life is just short, so make it highly relevant.

They say some people get to die without having to live. Something you would find in life is that, those who have attained success and gained wealth in life often views it for nothing, given that they’ve been there and done that. While those who haven’t are always on the move to find it. The fact that death is for everyone and anyone shouldn’t hinder you in making moves that would make living a lot more easy for you. If you must live and live it to the fullest, you need some level of earthly possession. To archive this, you must invest in something.

Whatever people do it's just the same as in real life where people work hard and then go home and rest. Everyone did have their own dream job which makes every person who have their dream job do and invest in crypto as a secondary source of funds while having their health in good condition. OP, maybe you should have added it on the post your main point which is to not overwork oneself to avoid having health problem or in your words take it slow.

We don’t use stone or sand that you can find anywhere to invest in Bitcoin, we use money which is being earned from running from one place to the other to feed first make some savings pay bills and the left over can be invested in Bitcoin, we can’t predict life we just have to live it and enjoy it base on how we see it, there are things which are out of our control you just have to work very hard before you can feed yourself and that of your family while chasing a dream which you might never be part of, death knock on the door of the person in your Op not because he didn’t have some bitcoin stacker but because it’s death and you can’t just predict it, unless it’s in a situation where the person don’t take care of his health.

Nigerians are no much affected here, especially Nigerians who know about bitcoin don't kill themselves much. The only set of Nigerians that should take this advice seriously are the ones that travel overseas to do all kinds of works. They do odd jobs that affect their health, they don't have good rest and some of them take more than one job, thereby working when it was supposed to be a shift day. So, Nigerians abroad are more victims of what is described in OP.

You will love Bitcoin more, have more confidence for your investment in Bitcoin, if you read this book that has many information and insights about Bitcoin use cases.

Most people forgot to enjoy and have some rest once in a while. If they learn crypto trading or even ways on how to do work related to blockchain they may find somw light task that will make their lifestyle not so hard. Good thing theres stuff on crypto to earn that gives option not to dragged ourselves into heavy work on office or what kind of type jobs.

A rat race and it's true.

I think that if we do the same as what others do then we'll end up the same results as being someone who's going to work forever. But that's for individuals to say if they like the way living it.

So, we have to do what's different from the rest and not everyone invests in Bitcoin. The good thing about is we've listened and done the same thing as the early adopters did.

They have believed in Bitcoin and so here they are right now enjoying what they have decided long ago. Now, we're next in line.

Every hustler wishes to enjoy the dividend of his hustle in good health. While the money is coming, it isn't easy to look out for one's health, but failure to do so will cause you to either spend all the money you have suffered to build in taking care of your health or leave all the wealth you have acquired for people who never put in an effort into it at the point of your death.

there's time for everything. refusing to work hard while one is still strong will only result in one working at the time strength might be an issue. for an investor and most of us that does remote jobs, there's a trick that we usually fall into which makes us work way too much than we ought to.  most of the work-from-home guys spend most of their lives working without paying much attention to their health because the job isn't physical. the little exercise and medical check-up will do wonders and keep you healthy as one who works remotely.

The problem these days is that we've made money the most important thing in life, and sometimes I wonder what the point of all that is. People will do anything for money and they'll die and leave all that money behind. Is it really worth all that?
People work tirelessly for money, it's the world we live in, I do it too, but I always wonder about the point.
Read about a doctor that died because is superiors refused to give him sick leave. I mean, why not just take the leave and ask for forgiveness later? The worst that can happen is you lose your job, but now something worse than a job loss happened.

It's okay to work hard, but not to the detriment of your health. Your health should always be a priority whether you work for someone else or for yourself.

Having bitcoin doesn't guarantee a stress free life though, but its good to have an investments.

Bitcoin is truly the most useful and evident proven asset in the Blockchain space but for a newbie who is just starting out with little capital I doubt there will be any meaningful future the coin will offer except they are consistent in accumulating Bitcoin at different intervals. Any profit made from investing in a small fraction will just give a profit that will be enough to solve immediate problems.

Benefiting big on a long run from Bitcoin the new investor must be aggressively buying. The value only makes sense to the investor as the number of coins keep increasing. An easy future only comes with how many bitcoin one owns. The more Bitcoin we have in our wallets the easier the future becomes.

That's life, my friend. Some are privileged to have everything they need to enjoy their lives without worrying about the future or even the present, but some are compelled to work tirelessly until they die because they know they have to do it. If you have a family, and you are the only breadwinner for them, you don't have any option other than sacrificing your own life and the wishes and dreams you once had.

Each one of us must have had dreams; we thought of doing something that we always loved and wanted to do, but we must admit, compulsions and responsibilities have bound us, and most of us might not even be able to enjoy what we used to enjoy before because we know we have responsibilities and we can't be selfish.

Those reading my post, are a family person, and aren't financially stable which means they earn and eat and that goes on and on, they can understand what I'm talking about. :)

Running up and down just to make a living is not always easy I mean it drains someone's blood. Bitcoin is a very nice asset to invest in because of it potential and when I say potential it is not something we haven't seen, we have seen the potential with our eyes but in order to start this investment you need to have source of income that will sustain you throughout your days or years of accumulation but Bitcoin is always for future purposes so one thing ought to have in life is skill so that you will be self employed and when you are self employed you won't be working out your ass anymore but you will be thinking and calculating on how to keep your company or business running smoothly so nothing is easy in life.

As long as there are still opportunities to work and make profits, people will never stop doing then. So we can’t tell that someone should focus on his investment and leave his stable and tiring job.

Any investment cannot guarantee 100% profits in the end, so it’s best to have a sustainable job while you are doing your best also in making your investment works. As long as your health permits, no problem with that then.

Hah, OP said a lot of things, but in the end he said nothing relevant. It's the age old story of life work balance.
Yeah, we know it, but in the end, keeping your job and providing for your family is the most important thing

The story is touching, what an irony of life!! Thats life for you, we all are chaising after the money without given ourselves a second thought or rethink of what we do for livelihood.  Most time we could do better than what we are currently doing but that could have been achieved if we give ourselves time to explore outside the box. Sometimes it is bad to feel too comfortable about what we do.mans nature is unlimited like a computer system which any software can be installed and works according to that software, meaning we have the capacity to do many multiple things ant once but we made ouself available to only one. And forgetting our capacity to do other things. And these leaves such person stagnant doing a particular job for life where as we could have done better afterall.

As we work to make the money we should also try to invest in Bitcoin, because many people who leaved the life of a job man who earns and spend in a circle of Monday to Sunday would have done better if they could have invested in Bitcoin as there retirement plan.

That is why I say that being a Bitcoin investor is a flex as it gives me time to relax and enjoy life even though the market will always shake your nerves here and there but it's something I can handle unlike some government workers that put their health and wellness on the line trying to please there employers and at the end of the day no one really cares if you live or die while working for them, hence the reason why I had to leave my white collar job for my sanity. I had a doctor friend that lost his life because he was always on the clock, man ignored himself and he was always busy at work, no off days, no vacations, no fun and no good food because he skips food most times and all this was because he wanted a promotion and at the end of the day he died at work, he died from all the stress. Yes, doctors neglect themselves and they die too even though they are surrounded with drugs.

I was literally thinking of Nigeria while reading through the thread, because we've been having these unplanned circumstances going on for years now. The majority are living in a world of no selection and choice. Every job is considered to be an opportunity, no matter how discouraging it is. There are so many people that don't even have a penny to invest on Bitcoin because they live a hand-to-mouth life. Opportunities are not always available to everyone, so those that are opportuned to choose any job, might have no problem putting some of those tips at heart.

Sure, nothing is easy in life even when you choose to go into bitcoin investment definitely you will still undergo some stress that's for those who don't have much confidence in bitcoin you know bitcoin is very volatile, and of which most people can not withstand the pressure maybe when there's a dip in the price.

And of course having a skill is very important, though is always very difficult to acquire a skill. But once you personally made up your mind to learn a skill of course you can learn it without even feeling those stress that comes from it, because you have this strong feeling that some day you will finally become the boss of your own, by then the stress will be lesser for you.

Let me assume that OP is advising people to invest in Bitcoin for their retirement and not for them to stop working. I also think that Bitcoin is a viable asset to hodl in preparation for retirement. From the history of Bitcoin's price, it is evident that keeping the asset for a long time is better than other investments.

I also think that there is a relationship between investment and wealth. If you invest wisely, it will reduce the amount of time and energy you put into earning a living. Don't also forget that working too much could affect your health negatively since it might increase stress and reduce rest. A viable investment would lead to a healthy life since you control your work life and have enough to take care of your medicals.   

This is true, have seen countless people doing multiple jobs from Monday to Sunday and they get no day off because they work all day and do not have time for their self anymore. However sometimes the reason why people work tirelessly everyday is because they get into some responsibilities at early age without planning their life properly. Actually health is important that's why must leave healthy and eat healthy and also have some rest after work.

I checked to see if the text was AI-generated and the results the negative, maybe your first editing was done on an AI applications which sometimes add things to the original content.

Stick to Glarmerly alone if you must use some editing tools and avoid anyone that has Ahassistance also, but as for this particular thread and the entire ops, you are good to go with no issues.

Was the cause of his death related to anything that has to do with the job he is doing? I don’t think that they’re relatable. A person should learn to take enough rest and do what is most important and not overburden themselves. But when the time of death comes, it can’t be taken to another regardless of how you take care of your health. Health is indeed wealth and should not be misused. The end part of your post and the story you brought up didn’t relate to what you were talking about in the first part of your post.


Since the introduction of AI, most of this writing tools now have AI embedded in them. Even when you’re sure that your post are natural, I mean those writing tools you can spin your words with and give you good quotations and comprehensive English if your English is not that great, they are now easily getting one an AI generated posts than what you wrote initially. It’s better to avoid them and post naturally what you can put together in English as long as the message you’re passing is understood well by the receiver.

If one should be smart enough, working on one hand and doing side jobs on its free time will make someone financially stable in the long run. Don’t just focus on a single source of income, that’s very risky honestly, especially if you are investing into something where future gains still isn’t guaranteed. Also, invest in your health as well. Your body is your only hope, if you feel sick and unhealthy, you will definitely unable to do it all.

If you forgot to enjoy because you are stuck with your work, hence you are not doing it the right way. Don’t let your job becomes your biggest regret in the future, that should never be. But work on things where you feel healthy and secured, and where you find peace and comfortable doing that.

You only got one mind and body. Use them in a healthy way. If you don’t feel what you’re doing right now, then leave. Opportunities are not limited, as long as you know your ultimate goal in life.

Thats true. Some people might thought that its always the end of the world, well it is when they start not living their life with contentment. Most people are scared that opportunity will be gone but trutfully they just fear of missing out on their life. There are few who got their ego and pride, to prevent them from simply going out their comfort zone. Its always okay to fail, and learn from it.

everything in this world must run in balance, I wonder to see hard workers who do not enjoy their lives, are they really addicted to work! this is really dangerous, when you enjoy your leisure time after being tired of working all day then you have added a few months to your age, working is indeed very enjoyable especially if the money you get gives us satisfaction but working too much will only make us die.

those who invest in bitcoin must have noticed this, they want to retire in the next few decades with the bitcoin they have and I am trying to stay consistent in investing in bitcoin.

He said people always look for extra miles to get money, meaning that people takes things to the extreme to make money, like doing more jobs than their bodies can handle, there is no where he said that people walk extra miles to job, I think you should read again.

I like the idea that just buying Bitcoin and holding till old age can be unsafe, since we don't know what will happen at that very end but I think Bitcoin can last that very long, because it is not just a digital currency, this is the only decentralised currency that works, nothing else does it better, this is why using Bitcoin as a reserve is good, I doubt that Bitcoin will go away some day.

For safety option like you said, it makes sense to take profits while your bag is growing in value, at least have some money in Fiat set aside is not a bad idea, but at the same time inflation is real, so it is best to make your own decision that's best for you.

All job no play makes jack a dull brain and not only that, jack might even die if he is not careful. This work of a thing doesn't really habe to be online, it can be any work. Try as much as possible to find peace and some quiet moment to enjoy your life, take time with your family because they are all you got and if there is a job you can't do, spare the work and say no, if you do and it discomfort you or threaten your life and die, there is another person that is going to replace you.

Try as much as possible to also go for check up, this is not talk enough but most of the time, the deaths that are been announced today could have been avoided but people don't go for check up to see what is wrong with their body. Sickness like Hipetitis, Bablood pressure, and many hidden sickness don't show on your face until they get worsen in your body that's when you start running around and by that time it might be too late to cure or even treat, health is wealth.

That part where you said "death is inescapable" should remind everyone of the fruitlessness of life itself. Everything we struggle to acquire here, will at the end, not matter. It's all vanity upon vanity. We've to be smart enough to know that there should be cool off moments in life where we take a chill pill and relax a bit. We've to use our head or someone else will use it for us.

The OP is contradicting the topic of the post to what the post actually contains. When there is life, there is hope. Everyone is bound to die at some certain point in life and that time differs for different people and when your time arises, it doesn’t matter how far you’ve come, what you’ve achieved or not within the period of your lifetime, it’ll just take your life as though you never existed. The health is something to prioritise for everyone, no matter how busy you get with the activities of this life, you should always put your health first. Your health is your wealth and it plays a vital role in what you would become or not in the future.

Life is all about wisdom, if you understand life very well irrespective of the struggle to raise money you will still enjoy everything at the end.  No matter what you found yourself doing and no matter how you need money do not forget your mental health and health generally.  People make mistakes by put money first and neglect their wellbeing and at the end they dont live to enjoy their money and all they have being able to achieve their struggles . While hustling for money don't forget to exchange all your energy,  your life for money,  even if it is a bug amount because there is no another life.

Life isn’t about working 24/7 until you find yourself tired, yet you only work mainly for your survival. That’s what happening to most of the workers these days, only to find out in the end that their life doesn’t make a big difference at all no matter how hard they’ve worked for.

This is an eye opener for us that working isn’t enough, or shall I say that working will not make you financially stable in the long run. You have to go an extra mile and learn to invest. However, when you are already investing, you don’t have to resign immediately from work. Give it a time, and when you see it’s working already, then you can focus on it and leave your current job. Same goes for bitcoin investment. It won’t make your life comfortable immediately, it takes time. So you have to balance your life, manage your job and at the same time manage your investment while you are still working on it.

Some people still need to be reminded continually about the "age old story of life-work balance". When we work so much and think so much, we tend to forget this balance in life. We chase money to the extent that we lose our lives in the process. We invest so much that we forgot to live a good and comfortable life. Everyone needs to recap the life work balance, atleast once in a month.

So, I will not subscribe to the idea that OP said nothing relevant.

These days, it seems like most folks are just working to get by.  I know we all wish we could find some sort of meaningful purpose and not be stuck working all the dang time.  But for a lot of people, having a job that pays the bills is good enough. 

Sure, in a perfect world we would all be doing important work that we love.  But reality is, the daily grind is what pays for the groceries and the rent.  And when you are struggling to keep the lights on, you dont have the luxury of chasing some grand passion and  you do what needs doing to survive.

Now Im notsaying we shouldnt try to find more fulfillment where we can.  But for some, thats just not in the cards right now.  This isnt some philosophical debate for them neither; its about making sure they have food in their belly and a roof over their head each night. 

I wish it was different.  But right now this is their truth.  And there is no shame in doing what you gotta do to get by.

That feels so sad especially when he had his house completed and was just about to live a peaceful life that is when his life ended.
His family would never be able to live in that house peacefully now. You're absolutely right when you say that we shouldn't go to such an extend where we completely stop enjoying our life.
I guess many of us are in the same rat race and everyone has to work but what truly matters is how you live your life.
At the end, when you look back through your life there should be memories where you lived your life and enjoyed it and carried the memories with you.
If you just keep working then there won't be any memories to cherish.

Investing on Bitcoin will not make you rich from my observations via Bitcoin investment, its obvious that anything we do, we should do it with caution, because I know quite well that cryptocurrency, mostly Bitcoin can fall at any point in time, so all investment can give you positive returns, it depends on how you keeps your bitcoin

So we need to understand that bitcoin investment is risks, you may succeed on Bitcoin due to the patient you exercise, but another person may not exercise such kind of patient, actually you have said it all that anything we doing that we should make use of our initiative or we should apply wisdom.

"There's no relation between health and Bitcoin investment, money can make you healthier and unhealthy" that is true, though, I believe he is trying to say in all the stress and struggles for ends meet we should also pay attention to ourselves, most especially our health, because lots of people forget to go for medical checkup disregarding the fact that stress from those works can interfere with their health or well-being. While trying to make all the money in the world we should also try to take care of ourselves, it is only someone who is alive that eats the fruit of he's or her labour, we must not neglect self care while chasing wealth, as both are of great significant.

There must be a balance in anything that we are doing in life, we need to know our limits and stop whatever we think is too important if it is affecting our health and we'll being. I have realized that too much struggling don't amount to too much success, people should work smart and try as much as possible to make quality decisions so that they can enjoy themselves in old age, they don't necessarily have to be very rich to enjoy life. Always have something to put aside for the 'rainy days' and old age, we are privileged to have a reputable asset like Bitcoin in this generation, we can DCA on the long term to get multiplied profits in the future.

And just like that, people have to spend 35 years of their life working extremely hard building the dreams of others who they call their employers without having some investment in any asset that they can fall back on at retirement. Bitcoin in any case offers them the opportunity to still work for others and have your own investment setup at same time without having to stress much by using the DCA approach to gradually build that portfolio which you can fall back to after retirement. At least if we're dieing, let not die in regret for what we failed to do but didn't do while we can.
