It is worth noting that in order to put 500 Euros on the side every MONTH means you need a pretty good salary out here in Europe. I would assume it is more likely that average Europeans would be able to put less than a quarter of that on the side instead.
But even then. 100 Euros per month since 2017 would get you to about 50 thousand Euros today with an investment of 7.2 thousand. Amazing none the less.

Did you maybe read my post? I wrote something about it, so you could get a much better picture of how much someone can set aside per month for such investments.

Fun side note, I was talking to someone at the dog park yesterday who I had never met and I mentioned I retired early and he was like "oh you must have that bitcoin money", and I was like oh wow yes actually that's exactly it I retired off of Bitcoin. I like when people I meet recognize the wealth creation power of Bitcoin without me even prompting them!
You must live in a very safe country or you don't care too much about your own safety when you talk about such things with strangers in the park. Maybe the stranger doesn't have bad intentions, but someone else who hears a story about a person who has a lot of money might not have such good intentions.
