Was unemployment also a contributing factor to your Bitcoin/crypto journey?
If yes, how did it happen?
It wasn't but the fear of poverty was my motivation because I got into Bitcoin while still being a student so I wasn't worried about being employed or not as I was still studying. What made me pick interest in Bitcoin and the crypto industry at large was when I found out about the earning potential the industry holds and I have always wanted to be part of a new class of investment/earning opportunity and Bitcoin tick all the box. Bitcoin isn't a job so if I had a job, I would had still had interest in Bitcoin. You don't have to quit your job to invest in Bitcoin, infact you become a better investor when you get a job that can fund your investments.
Yes you Bitcoin investment become more safer when you have other sources of income that can covers for your real life finances expenses, infact this is the level and stage that drives one into becoming Bitcoin diamond 💎 hands, a lot will get achieved having an alternative and not looking at your Bitcoin earnings or assets as a means of paying Bills but just as a long time future financial needs excape route, but believe me, I will always have interest in Bitcoin even if I am a director in a government ministry since Bitcoin investment won't interfere with my job in any ways.
