Still here & always will be brother. Bitcoin has done so much for me, I bought a house outright, no mortgage this year. I’m retired in my mid 30’s, none of this would have happened without bitcoin & this forum driving me on to buy MOAR.
30 and retired? That's amazing. I finished university in 2016, I was spentdaing my earnings on rent and food, I was hesitating to invest in cryptocurrencies because I was thinking about bitcoin like an average guy. I was still thinking two things:
1. Invest in cryptocurrencies
2. Invest in Bodybuilding
1. Failed.
2. I'm building a career in bodybuilding too but it's not really rewarding compared to the amount of work and effort you have to put in. I have an amazing physique, everyone stares at me when I go out but the money that I have spent on this sport was everything that I was earning and I'm earning, if I have invested that money into cryptos, I would be retired but I got retard like Borat
The price sucks atm but we will rise again, the halving is under 2 years away. $100,000 will come & more after the halving. Now is kind of hibernation time, it’s cold, it’s bitcoin winter but spring will come & a roaring bull market in 2025. Patience young padawan, keep buying everything under $30,000, it’s a steal.
There have been only 3 out of 32 halvings, the game has just begun.
Regarding your number 1. In this thread, the vast majority of us would likely not know what the fuck cryptocurrencies are, so many of us probably would be glad that you did not invest in something so vague, amorphous and therefore likely stupid that we don't know what it is.
On the other hand, if you are talking about the possibility of investing in bitcoin, which happens to be the topic of this thread, then that would be a great idea... and you really do not need to invest exclusively in bitcoin, you can invest in other things besides bitcoin... such as body building, other skills and education.. and in the end, just figure out an amount that you would like to put into bitcoin as compared with the other things that you might be investing in simultaneously.. whether the amount into bitcoin is $10 per week or $100 per week or some other amount, and just continue to invest..
Now if you have no money because you are pursuing a path that does not pay such as the pursuite of number 2, then that's your choice, and surely if you have no income or no extra income, then it is going to be challenging to be able to invest into bitcoin, even to employ a more modest (or whimpy) bitcoin investment strategy...
I doubt that anyone is saying that you have to be overly aggressive or assertive in regards to your bitcoin investment strategy in order to be able to profit stupendously from investing into bitcoin - even though surely some of the more aggressive/assertive strategies have ended up in paying off quite well for guys.. but I still think that guys are having to hussle to earn some kind of an income in order to be able to feel comfortable enough to be able to afford to invest aggressively/assertively.
If you do not know the example of mindrust.. he made some mistakes in his bitcoin investing strategies in the 2017-ish cycle, and maybe he had made some of the similar mistakes in the earlier cycle too.. so in 2018 until early 2020, he kept saying that he was going to make up for his earlier mistakes, so in that regard, he got aggressive in his bitcoin investment, but it ended up being too aggressive in terms of his inabilities to handle some of the more extreme BTC volatility periods..
So my points are that you gotta get the fuck started with bitcoin instead of just thinking about it or talking about it, and figure out some kind of a meaningful strategy for you that attempts to be aggressive but not too aggressive, and for sure, if you can figure out some ways to engage in activities that allow you to earn decent money then that might be a good idea.. and for sure we all make personal choices about what we do, including your decision to body build might have some benefits as well, but you seem to be deciding that it is more costly than it is beneficial.. but still it's ultimately your judgement in regards to how you spend your various investments including your time and your money.
