Be patient and the money will come.
try not to measure your success in dollars
don't forget, the whole reason why the circumstances that are giving people this opportunity is: inflation
and inflation means that the value of the currency, it's purchasing power, is deteriorating (which you have realised....)
so that means the currency you're transtioning from is not a reliable measurement, so don't measure anything with it!
count in ounces (of gold/silver) and satoshis
