For soon, after accumulating a whole bitcoin, you'll notice that you are much further ahead than a whole lot of others.
He's further ahead already.
Now that I have half a bitcoin, I need to cherish it. My next step is to make a bitcoin with it.
Look like you had a bad experience with the altcoins and trading but the good thing is that finally, you are able to save half a bitcoin. This half a bitcoin can be life changing for you in the next 3-5 years. It's better if you do not try to trade with this 0.5 btc as you might lose them in future trading.
Keep this half bitcoin safe with you in a wallet and try to earn bitcoins by providing different services or by converting your fiat savings into bitcoins.
That's what I was thinking. It sounds like he wants to trade Bitcoin to increase it but re-reading his life experience, I think he is going to do other things, without touching his half Bitcoin, to increase it.
OP, could you clarify this.
