How not having money helped my Bitcoin journey

[Dickiy]

I see how some newbies are complaining about not having enough money to invest in Bitcoin, some times not having money is a blessing in the crypto space, if I had money years ago when I knew about crypto I would have made all the possible mistakes in the book, and that would have cost me a lot.

I had no access to money when I knew about Bitcoin, I had the desire to acquire many Bitcoin but I have no way, instead of moving on with my life I kept myself busy, reading and reading about Bitcoin, installed my first Bitcoin wallet on a Pentium 4 PC, I knew about Proof of work, I tried mining for the first time using a dual-core PC ( second PC ), if I have enough money to invest I wouldn't have had time for all this learning.

I got so calm, because what is there to rush about? I have no money anyways, since that time learning became my first priority.

If you don't have the money yet, maybe because you are jobless or still in school, do not let that be the reason to be out of Bitcoin, there is more you can learn that will help you in your crypto journey.

Money is coming, but be prepared by learning about Bitcoin, you will be in safer hands with the knowledge you would have acquired.

Interesting stories and suggestions, and I totally agree that not having money doesn't mean we can't invest, the main key in situations like this is that we can invest in ourselves so that we have understanding and ability to really learn about bitcoin, and indeed it is true that money will come by itself if we already have the ability and understanding.
My own story even though I didn't directly touch bitcoin but it's the same case of not having money to invest, in my travel book I see many people who earn money from Airdrop and I follow their steps, it's not an easy thing because there are so many projects that I participate in many are not eligible and many are scams, until finally I understand what I have to do as an airdropper and get a decent value for money, so I can invest in bitcoin.
Everyone has different situations, conditions and stories in the early stages, but if the reason is not having money we just need to learn and continue to be patient in the stages until the money will come by itself.

when someone does not have stable finances. in the sense that the needs are met and there is still some left to allocate to something like an investment. it will be quite difficult. OP is doing what he can, learning with what he wants to grow. whatever his current results, he now had enough knowledge from what he had been working on for years.
I also have a friend, who has enough money to invest in Bitcoin. he's just asking for advice on buying and selling. without knowing anything about Bitcoin development. even when the FTX crash event caused the price to decrease, my friend just panicked and didn't know what was going on.

I agree that when you do not have any money to invest, it becomes very hard to make any investments. I had a very terrible period in the last month where it will take me many months to recover, but at the very least I know that my income is lower than my spending in normal situations, this is just a special case and when that is over in the future, I will go back to living in a world where my spending will be less than my income and I will be able to invest the excess amount.

This is why people who can't live with their income can't just get smaller spending. It is better to increase the income than decrease the spending, because you can't keep cutting on costs all the time, you need to focus on bigger income if you can.

Skeptical about how the OP mined BTC on a Pentium 4 PC, but keeping that aside, I am happy to know that bitcoin helped them in their journey of life. Getting a job after college is a tough time that every student has to go through with differences in every field, so such times are often depressing and leading to bad habits to form. One good habit that we can all form is bitcoin investment and going through the campaigns that go on here if you have a flair for writing and engaging in discussions. It can become a second source of income and support you.

Keep in mind that methods to earn are always there, but we need to be active and seek them out, Bitcoin is one method to be paid in.

It all depends on how you see it,
Sometimes we just need to look at it at a different perspective and we could embrace it as an opportunity.
Even the saddest and darkest times of our life could be a blessing if we would look at what we learn and how we grow from those times.
So for me it all depends on how you want to see it, just like how OP see the blessing on not having money.

 Is a very smart move for you That you didn't give up on bitcoin despite not having enough money to invest in it is a good sign for you. Your lack of resources forced you to educate yourself on how cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and others operate.
I didn't take bitcoin seriously when I first heard about it, even though I had money to invest. I reasoned that it wasn't likely to make me money, therefore I wouldn't risk it. And other individuals have money and have faith in bitcoin, but they are not well informed about how it operates. My friend advised me to go discover how bitcoin functions before making any investments, so I followed his advice. As a result, I am currently being saved from financial activities.

You own perspective is quite different from the OP's perspective,everybody have what suits them when it comes to crypto and how money is been used in investing.When you start Bitcoin on a zero percent level of income, definitely,that motivation must be there to make as much money as you can,there must be that zeal,which will push you to the height that you want,because you remembering the fact that your financial level is zero,it's what will motivate you.I started same way,on a zero percent level,but I can't say I am up to where I want to be now,but I can't compare myself now to before.i am still pushing,untill I will get to the height I want to reach.

As you have said,  people's perspective varies based on their experience in life. Some one with zero financial backup reasoning is quite different from another with good financial backup. When there is no money, you reason up to know how to make the money in a legit way without the law coming for you. Many people have their level of operation for which they feel is ok and comfortable to.make more money but one thing I have come to realize is that when you have no.money to start up life you are very broad in thinking about making money and I for sure know  at that point, one would need to survive.

So the entire point here is that when one has that desires in them to make money in life they will and when it happens that they have no money on them to Start up and fortunately got one which requires no funds for start up and they have made little money from it, believe me you they would put their efforts in learning more to doing the work very diligently so as to perfect their skills on thee job.

The fact is that only with knowledge you will not be able to pay in the store.
If your goal is only to study bitcoin, then please, but I think most are here for another.
It's noble to be a researcher - I myself, for the sake of interest, set up mining on a very weak laptop to see if I could do it. It is impossible to make a partial deposit without investing. It used to be possible to participate in airdrops and get a few hundred.
Therefore, people are dissatisfied with the fact that they cannot postpone. I have been in BTC since 2016 and have never bought bitcoin for cash.

That’s a really good point of view OP, It is disappointing how newbies are always complaining about everything related to Bitcoin. They be looking for easy ways to earn Bitcoin without any effort and knowledge however, that’s not possible to happen. Bitcoin is not easy to get nowadays. Plus, mining is no longer profitable. In fact, as far as I am concerned to you have to find solutions and opportunities. If you don’t have money to invest and you are financially unstable, try to find a source of income. To be honest, I encourage newbies to develop their skills and knowledge before starting any type of fields, try to take useful  courses and read books. It is really essential to use online resources smartly. Once you achieve these, build a solid portfolio and start doing freelance jobs, the beginning is always tough but with practice and experience you will be definitely able to earn money.

Being a student when I first came to know about Bitcoin, I can surely vouch for what you said, maybe not about the earning part, but the struggle to find the ways that can actually help you earn something, and that struggle was probably the reason how I stumbled upon this forum too which I can totally call a life-changing experience for me.

I remember, I used to claim Bitcoins from free faucets initially and was always in pursuit of finding ways how I can earn and get more since just like OP, I didn't have money to buy it, maybe I couldn't manage to earn a lot of it, but that struggle surely kept be busy and away from all bad habits and bad gatherings that I might get into if it wasn't for this.

Because it is worth investing only in what you are really sure of. I have friends, they are successful businessmen and none of them are interested in bitcoin, they just do not need it because they have successful businesses that they are very well versed in. They earn good money and reinvest part of the profits in their business, this is enough for them to earn good money.

If your friend does not understand what bitcoin is, but just bought it on someone's advice, believe me, he will want to sell it at the first serious correction, which may happen soon.

Your story is an interesting one. And it is obvious that not everyone has the same way they started. Simply by starving your distractions and focusing on your goals you were able to make do with the little you had and have turned into something great. We should have zero tolerance for excuses.
This week, I am going to be sharing your story with some folks who think that because they didn't come from privilege it will be difficult to invest or make it in bitcoin.

Almost everyone is born into this world with their own limitations, some have sufficient money from their parents and sometimes they have to fend for themselves to earn money to facilitate their lives. Then talking about investing with inability will be much more difficult and there are many categories of people who find it difficult to start investing in Bitcoin and we are required to think extra in order to have a gap for a solution.

Using small amounts of money to buy bitcoin feels easier and we only buy when we hold money, instead of trying to think quickly to get money and then buy bitcoin and it will add to the psychological burden. If we want, maybe there are several ways that we can take and most importantly, invest in accordance with the ability to lost.

That is true, everyone has their own personal journey. I never had any money at all before crypto, never even had enough to live, and then after crypto I did so much better, got married, bought a car, and been paying everything with crypto for many years now thanks to having income from it. So all in all the fact that not having money pushed me to figure out a way to make money allowed me to take risks that rich people can't take.

People assume rich people can buy whatever, but if they are careless then they won't be rich for too long, they will become poor after losing too much money. Whereas I could do a lot better which would be a lot easier because I can't get worse, I just spend my time on making more money.
