How does one even make that much money anymore? Unless there is a huge spike in bitcoin, and you sell it for more
than you paid for it, how does one even make 10k as a normal person with normal savings? Perhaps day trading between
the other crypto currencies? But then he says just on localbitcoins so I'm confused now...
I'm not sure what a normal person is exactly, but you do have to have specialized knowledge and skills to handle big bitcoin transactions on a regular basis and not mess up. You don't need to have savings, you can take out a loan. You are not speculating, so a price decline of BTC would not impact the loan. Having a stash of bitcoins would make things far easier though. Otherwise, you will constantly be struggling to avoid being long in BTC, which would make you an unwitting speculator.
