To me, it seems that there can be phases of the investment process that are easy, but then a lot of difficulties and temptations along the way...and you pointed out an exact dilemma that comes when people might have some intermediary goals of some specific things that they want to buy such as land or a house - and since intermediary goals tend to be subcomponents of financial independence, they could end up conflicting from higher level goals of reaching financial independence and/or reaching a high enough level with your investment that you don't have to work anymore and that you can just live off the income from your investment in a kind of passive income way.. yeah, sure you may well need to engage in a certain level of work that involves managing your stack.. but at the same time, any other work that comes from how you chose to spend your money are related more to chosen kinds of work that are related to your consumption rather than work that you have to do in order to generate enough income to support your living standards.

My point is that it could become quite tempting to spend some of your BTC investment too early,.. and yeah, sure it might not seem like any kind of problem when you are in your fairly earliest of stages of BTC accumulation, yet if you make it through one or two BTC cycles, you might not be close enough to fuck you status, yet you still might get lured into cashing out decently large portions of your BTC or perhaps diverting your BTC accumulation efforts (when you really should still be accumulating BTC) way earlier than you should be, and perhaps even preventing yourself towards ever reaching fuck you status which might have had been your goal and which might have had been reasonably within your reach if you had not gotten distracted away from your BTC accumulation efforts...and even ending up spending decent chunks of your BTC.

You are right sir, big influence usually comes from family if they know BTC ownership in our portfolio, Yes they will tempt us to sell it and that is what I felt in previous years and all of that was an unintentional or intentional mistake. Yes, that time was hard for me to imagine because I was careless in telling my family about the investment I made. But as you said we learn from mistakes and now I fix it to stick to my position without being tempted by the temptation of lust to cash in to satisfy the lust to have something like land or a house.

Also you are right about work where a permanent job with passive income every month will make it easier for us to divert our desires if we want to have something. I mean we don't have to sell a small portion of btc for whatever we want but we have a reserve of money from our work to buy something.

Indeed, in the long term, of course, many unexpected things often happen, but yes, that cycle must be anticipated well so as not to interfere with ongoing investments. It is indeed very unfortunate if someone stops accumulating bitcoins because they follow their lust for luxury goods by selling their BTC holdings, which is quite a big mistake.

Your experience shows that fighting emotion and temptation is very important when it comes to Bitcoin or any other long-term investment. The influence of family or close people, especially if they know our investments, can often influence our decisions. Many people are tempted to sell assets like Bitcoin to cash in on some immediate needs or luxuries, but you are right that this can be a big mistake.

Your strategy is now very realistic and intelligent. Holding BTC for the future with regular income and not selling it when needed, can bring big profits in the long run. Holding BTC for the future is not just looking at current price growth, but building a strong financial base.

Also, the way you manage life's essential expenses—such as keeping savings from a steady income source and making purchases without relying on investments—is a great strategy. This will allow you to keep your BTC or other investments safe for the long term, and fulfill your future goal of financial freedom.

Your thoughts and strategies can be an inspiration to many who often fall into small temptations and forget their long term goals.
