It's so nice to go out for a walk on a beautifully sunny Sunday morning, and to come back home and see that your BTC is worth more that you left it...
A two-hour walk earned me 4 months worth of salary money...
Go Bitcoin, go!
In my case, 1 day earned me 4 years salary
Keep this up, and you are going to have to give yourself a raise.
I recall that the first time that Bitcoin went above $2k in early 2017. There was a certain sense of relief that I felt with my long term decision to invest in BTC - even though I thought that I had already made pretty decent investment decisions in my life to set myself up fairly well financially, even before bitcoin.
Based on my earlier investments, I had created a kind of baseline expectation about how I was going to live, and that was based on my previous salary.. and attempting to live my life within a kind of continuation of my previous salary and therefore an ability to keep my standard of living through the rest of my life.
When BTC surpassed $2k, it became fairly clear that in order to spend what I had made, I was going to need to give myself a raise, and the more that BTC price goes up, the more comfort there is in the cushion, as well as developing a certain level of confidence that another raise is in order.
Even with current BTC prices floating around $7,100, we have more than doubled the price from the $3,122 bottom. Congrats to anyone who feels that they may be able to give themselves currently or in the near future. Of course, there is a decent sense that delayed gratification may be in order, so I can appreciate anyone who is tentatively planning to begin cashing in on their raise in the $30k plus territory, rather than engaging in any "cashing in" within our current price arena.
