As for me it is an amazing source of Income , it may not be 100% what you could want , but it helps you get those late night pizzas I might say .
If you are a student it becomes even more necessary because as a student you are not allowed to work , all you could do is rely on it as an independent source of income apart from all the society ( don't know about other sources but in medical you are not allowed to work ).
This is my reason too on why bitcoin is important to me. Being a broke college student you can't just ask for money from your parents, specialy if you're above 18 yrs old. Adulthood is what lead me to bitcoin, searching for some income I can make online and end up with bitcoins which really helps me big time.
I can totally relate with this

life isn't fair, it's already given and so opportunity like this with bitcoin is so much for me to grab. Adulthood really hit me hard, it suddenly struck my mind that I should spend wisely given by my parents, so if I want to buy my other needs I should seek money on my own. Bitcoin helped me through a lot in financial terms especially when it reached its ATH in 2017 that totally give me goosebumps earning a lot of money.
