However, emergency fund is not mandatory for everyone.
That is a strange statement, and I find it difficult to understand how anyone could consider themselves as an investor in bitcoin without some kind of emergency funds (or back up funds) - and surely there could be some cases in which discretionary income is guaranteed.. and so those funds may well be serving as emergency funds.
Essentially, it makes no sense to me to proclaim that emergency funds are not mandatory... especially if we are talking in terms of investing rather than gambling.. Sure, if you are gambling then there are a lot of things that you can do that no rational person would do, absent some dire circumstances in which they might not have a choice.
It is indeed a very strange statement to say that Emergency funds is not mandatory. Anyone who is really interested in bitcoin investment would understand that Emergency funds is a must have to safeguard your bitcoin stash. Anyone who sees emergency funds as not mandatory is either a trader or not ready for bitcoin investment. Gamblers sometimes disguise as investors to spread some false information about bitcoin accumulation and investment strategies.
But there some common unambiguous knowledge that anyone should have...one of them is that Emergency funds is a must have if you really aim at holding for a long time. Tampering with your emergency funds is also another way of leaving bitcoin investment any moment.
Several times in this thread, and maybe some of the related threads, we have observed that there are likely a lot of people (especially rich people) who have a lot of various resources, including that they may well have friends and family that would bail them out of short-term cashflow situations.. such as.. this might be dad or mom.. :
"0h shit, son.. you invested in bitcoin on the dip and you don't have enough money in the bank to cover your rent, car payments or to go on your planned trip to Hawaii for the upcoming weekend.. . no problem.. .. sure, I wished that you had some better cashflow management skills, but that is not a problem and you can just figure all of that later. ... in the meantime, here is a $20k loan.. .. just pay me back whenever you get your cashflow situation back in order" .. .
In these kinds of rich people situations, the $20k "loan" may not even need to get paid back. .and the son might even have some.. other back up ways to get money in case dad or mom did not bail him out.
You're absolutely right, I've come to understand that there are so many folks who do invest in Bitcoin who are from a rich and wealthy family and they don't seems to know what emergency, reserved funds is all about, because they always have cash or money to save them from any emergency situation they might find themselves in, they have family members or parents who are there to always help them with some bills and expenses they don't even have to struggle with getting a job or source of income, there wealth is there to always keep them a floating, they don't even have to touch there Bitcoin investment because everything they need and require is always mapped out for them.
