Just recently got into BTC; I have 2.5 saved up.
Plan on taking 25% of each of my paychecks and accumulating and seeing what will happen in 2017 or later in the year.
Thoughts? Ideas? Speculation? Advice? Tips?

It is nice that you already earned about 2.5 btc. My advice to you is invest some of it to bitcoin related companies and some of it will invest in some stock market. But before investing into stock market, you should convert some to fiat money. Also, dont stop earning bitcoin even though you are earning a passive income. It will reward all your hardwork in the future.
