Well if we use your forum registration date, then maybe we could attempt to approximate where you could have had been right now if you had pursued an aggressive bitcoin investment strategy, including DCA buying.

Let's say for example you have had an income of around $30k per year for the past 7 years, and you started investing into bitcoin right around the time of your forum registration date, and let's say that you invested fairly aggressively around $100 per week, which would have had been right around 17% of your income. So you would have had invested right around $34.5k and you would have had accumulated about 2.31 BTC. Surely not a bad place to be.

An assumption that is almost close and I really enjoy it until now. Whatever the condition, I also as a member of the forum until now really appreciate any opinions and input especially from our seniors who have been here for a long time and including you too Mr. JayJuanGee. Thank you

It is not just about appreciating people for what they have done for you. There is this person I use to know, whenever he gives you something tangible, he will be expecting you to double or increase that which he gave to you and if you went to see him to show gratitude or thank him, he will first ask you what you have achieved so far with what he has given you and if you didn't show a concrete thing of what you used the thing for, he will not accept your gratitude, he will ask you to leave because what he gave you was a waste. Just like you are appreciating people here for what they have shared with you ( Bitcoin knowledge) and then it happens that you didn't even practice what you have learnt so far, the appreciation will be useless because you didn't utilize what you heard.

I do get your point that actions speak louder than words, and even sometimes we might have some members who are describing their situation in such a way that we get some sense that they are acting upon the knowledge that they are gaining by participating in this forum.

We can also pass the knowledge forward to other members or even to real world (or non-forum contexts), since several of of the members of the forum are not necessarily expecting any kind of monetary reward for any help that we might give (or the information that we share), and surely there may well be a presumption that those who are seeming to give free knowledge might have received free knowledge in the past and/or even might be ongoingly continuing to receive rewards and/or non-monetary benefits from participating in the forum and sharing knowledge about bitcoin and/or in the case of some of these thread investment and cashflow management kinds of discussions and sharing of information.

This community is a lot more valuable to the members when the knowledge and experiences acquired here is evenly distributed to one another and also applied in the real world context. There are several benefits that comes with sharing valuable information and insights about Bitcoin investment, by doing so, members will not only be helping others but also reinforcing and sharpening their own understanding and knowledge of Bitcoin.

I feel so overwhelmed when I see members of this community who are selfless when it comes to sharing their knowledge and impacting other members of the forum without expecting to receive any form of compensation or monetary benefits, because it shows just how generous they are and also speaks so much about the collaborative spirit that's embedded in this community. And there's indeed no doubt that those who has dedicated themselves in sharing their expertise to help other members of the community has also in one way or the other, benefitted from similar interactions in the past, and are now trying to reciprocate to that by also helping others, you what they say, to whom much is given, much is also expected.

You also know the best part of this kind of knowledge sharing, it can actually have some kind of ripple effect, because the information and knowledge shared to the community may not only benefit the direct recipient but as well others who may also be impacted by the decisions made by the immediate recipients. Members who also participate in these discussions can also contribute immensely to a collective growth in understanding that can enforce even more developments and have more benefits.
