Personally, I suggest that beginners to bitcoin can come in with 5% to 25% of their income into bitcoin,
You've made a valid point, and this leads to my question. Do you think some of these normies don't have that financial capability to allocate from the little they have, or they just don't know how to make plans and allocations?
By definition, a person who does not have much or any discretionary income should not be investing, so I am not referring to people who actually do not have discretionary income.
we see here in the UK more then just some, whom save/invest small amounts a week in a asda(walmart equiv) card that offers some interest to save up for christmas, and they do it
not sure of US amounts as they range per state, but in the UK £90 a week is the social security level of the unemployed* (poorest of country) so 5% is just £4.50($5.60), this amount wont even buy you a bigmac meal deal in the uk.. however investing a less than big mac amount in 2023 increased multiple times by now
so it is still worth investing
*this doesnt include the housing allowance/supplement
turning £4.50 a week (DCA £18($22.30) a month, each 1st of the month from jan 2023-dec2023) could have turned £234($290) into 0.01btc
which is £750($930) as of january 1st 2025
which is far better then any bank/grocery store savings card would ever offer over 2 years
..
with that said the most difficult thing is not finding $22 a month to save, but actually not being tempted to cash out and spend any profits too early
many people cant have the patience to leave investments alone and just let accumulate when they are on low income.. but it is possible
