It is good to have a good source of income and a backup fund, however it will be quite wrong for an investors to have such a mindset as until my sources of income is stronger or until I have a good source of income I will not start accumulating bitcoin while it is possible to be accumulating bitcoin and at the same time working on your source of income . It is better to be a low coiner than to be a no coiner at all moreover the money we are to invest in bitcoin is our discretionary income, money that we will not be needing for quite a long time as per our investment time line. Also I do advise newbie, Rome was not built in a day. We can be building our portfolio gradually while using the dca strategy and hold until we are able to build up our portfolio to the desire amount of bitcoin we want.
Minor correction: You need money to invest in Bitcoin and without money, your investment ideas will amount to nothing. If you invest in Bitcoin with hunger in your stomach and no roof over your head, it is a matter of time before you sell the Bitcoin. What I'm saying is that even though we all love those ideas of accumulating Bitcoin and building a wonderful future, we must ensure we make those investment with money that we can afford to leave in Bitcoin for several years and not make the mistake of investing in Bitcoin only to sell the Bitcoin to feed the next week. Therefore, anyone that have not been able to gather money to even meet basic needs does not need to be thinking about buying Bitcoin but to first establish something that will bring in money. You can get a job, render services or do just anything that will make the funds flow into your direction. You must not wait to get rich first, no, just start up from wherever you are and build from there.
Depending on the country you come from, there are many things to do to raise capital including doing extra jobs since you are motivated by building a wonderful future for yourself. You just have to make more efforts, work longer shifts, add side hustles or do anything that will bring in that extra income that you can start putting into Bitcoin.
Like you suggest, even a low amount invested into bitcoin is better than nothing in terms of also inspiring some reasons to investigate further into the matter. Many of us have more inspiration to investigate when we have begun to invest, even relatively small amounts of value.. and surely as we learn more and more about bitcoin, we may well end up getting inspired to invest more, to learn more and also to figure out ways to improve our discretionary income by increasing our income and/or decreasing our expenses.
That is true and if we learn and evolved ourselves in the way we invest in Bitcoin, then we can say that we are getting better and smarter. As you have said, Rome was not built in a day, which means here in Bitcoin investment, it takes years and years to achieved great success. It takes time, like investing on a 4 year cycle and see how far we can go, and so it takes a lot of patience for every Bitcoin investor.
So maybe in the beginning, like $20-$50k a week, then we improved it to $100k a week or more and then it goes. But that's only the start, and it also involved focus and mentality to look for the biggest picture. So it takes a lot from us to be a better and smarter Bitcoin investor.
Since there are different people coming in to Bitcoin so are their financial capabilities differs too hence anyone is expected to figure out how much they can comfortably invest with without affecting their other Living expenses what must be prioritize is approaching your investment with comfort and peace of mind in terms of how much your are allocating to it perhaps it is not a competition ground, invest within your discretionary income either weekly or monthly according to your income flow, yeah getting the fucking started is the basic and primary assignment other things are secondary, little drops of water makes a mighty ocean which means that even small quantity of Bitcoin being accumulated over time can make a big size of Bitcoin.
You are right my friend, we can face our realities and act accordingly. You can start small from what is convenient for you and then build on that. The big job is simply to figure out your level of financial resources and work out your discretionary income with which you can start your investment in Bitcoin. You don't have to look at what others are investing and thereby allowing it to get your disturb because life is a personal race and we must appreciate our level in order to be happy doing our best. Like Dave1 said, $20 per week is not such a huge figure for anyone that understand how important Bitcoin is and the need to own some.
