To be honest from my own experience and observation, income offers comfort but not actual freedom. You can make a lot from a job yet still feel stuck because the moment that paycheck ceases so does your sense of stability. True wealth is clearly related to ownership whether it's assets investments or businesses that develop value over time and you’re right about value generation. If you're just transferring money about without producing anything worthwhile someone else is losing for you to gain. That type of riches isn’t sustainable. Real wealth promotes communities not just bank accounts
The income that we have and get every month is sometimes only enough to meet our needs and a little bit of savings and investment but when talking about financial freedom in the end it is indeed very difficult.
But even though this happens, in the end financial freedom still depends on our own understanding because not infrequently there are some people who already feel enough with the income they get every month even though it is only enough to make a backup to live for the next year.
Therefore, for now bitcoin is starting to be debated and even praised by their lovers because most people still believe that in the end our financial freedom can still be achieved when we invest in bitcoin.
