But investing requires some basic intelligence like planning and everyone must know his numbers quite well to invest(disposal income and expenses) cause this is actually how we would know if we can afford to invest or not, if your income is too low and can't Carter properly for your needs whether it came inconsistently or consistently you are taking a risk by investing in bitcoin and it is gambling rather than investing cause surely you can build your emergency funds and your investment is not even safe so your most likely to sell later.
Your very right about this cause I've made mistakes before not paying much attention to my numbers and investing without having a good backbone like my floats, I normally used to just allocate some cash to my emergency funds, take out my budget for expenses, add up to my reserved and all the rest but one part I failed to pay very close attention to was my expense, I would put myself in such a condition that I know I wasn't living a normal life, I don't keep money to go out why because I want to invest my floats back into bitcoin on purpose not actually doing it as I was taught, just because u felt I needed to be aggressive and allocate much to buy bitcoin but the downside was I put myself at too much pressure and it even affected my mentality for a while but I'm all good now, since yesterday I've taken time to review many decisions and I feel I need to listen more than give suggestions.
What I've learnt from my own little mistake is simple, never put yourself on pressure when investing, it's not a good thing to invest in bitcoin when you k ow that your income is not enough for yourself cause if you do, it won't last and even if you decide yourself by holding on ; how long would you hold on, so it's better you do it to right way and ease yourself, the only reason I'm safe if cause I put a lot in build up my emergency funds and I'm still quite living with my parents so no much pressure I can't get help from them.
But I know its not very right to depend on your parents as your emergency funds cause they could also disappoint you, so I've learnt do with what i can, although I'm done with my plans on aggressive investing now I'm all in for a more stable and controlled investment.
These are things to learn.
it is good to be as aggressive as you are able to be without being overly aggressive, and if you go through the experience of setting these matters up, you should be able to learn how aggressive you are able to be, and like I mentioned so many times, you are only able to be aggressive when your finances and your psychology is in good order, and so your psychology is likely to be in better order when your finances are in good order.
So, when you put money into bitcoin, you should be considering that money to be completely gone for 4-10 years or longer.. and you are not going to be able to or want to dip into it for any reason, except the passage of time and there after seeing that a lot of time has passed and your value in bitcoin had been compounding several times.. and as you keep investing, each time that you newly put money into bitcoin, that money becomes ineligible for withdraw for 4-10 years or longer.. so if you are still fairly aggressively investing into bitcoin 10 years down the road and you are still adding value to your holdings, then the new money that you put in has a 4-10 year investment timeline, and so it makes no sense to be selling any of your BTC if you are still accumulating 10 years down the road.
Of course, a lot of folks had been recently talking about El Salvador having close to 6k bitcoin (less than $400 million), and yet its annual governmental revenues is around $7 billion.. and so the fact of the matter, is that bitcoin is still ONLY around 1/20th of its annual revenues.. so El Salvador has a long way to go to get to fuck you status in terms of the amount of bitcoin that it holds.. and maybe I have been rethinking that in bitcoin, a person, institution or government might be able to get to fuck you status if bitcoin constitutes around 12x its annual revenues... so El Salvador has a long way to go in terms of building its bitcoin holdings.
The same with an individual, they are surely in a better situation if they can get to a whole year's worth of income/expenses built up or saved up in bitcoin, but they still likely need to get to 12x or more in order to potentially start to be able to draw from his bitcoin in a form of sustainable income.
