Income source is important for Bitcoin investment but more important is discretionary income. You have a reliable source of income but if you don't have discretionary income at the end of the week then that source of income can be worthless. Many folk don't have a stable source of income they have an unstable source of income but have some discretionary income at the end of the week and can accumulate Bitcoin from it and I think it's more potential. Over time they have the intention to increase their Bitcoin accumulation and in the future when a stable source of income is created they can more Bitcoin. It is true that it is not important for us to start big but it is important to start with discretionary income initially. Long term Bitcoin thinking teaches us discipline and patience that is more important in increasing holdings and even which is a much better way than risky trading ideas.
Man how would you say discretionary income is more important than reliable income source? Like, what actually gives birth to discretionary income in the first place? is it not the income source? If you don’t have a stable way money is coming in, how would you now have anything left to invest? That source is still the foundation at the end of the day.

And again, I get what you are trying to say about people with unstable income still managing to invest a bit from what is left, but honestly that's not sustainable. It is not even advisable in most cases. Someone with no steady income should focus first on sorting that out, get a job or a side hustle that can at least cover basic needs consistently before talking about discretionary anything. Otherwise it is easy to end up stuck or even worse, frustrated.



It is not mandatory to have a steady income or a job before having a discretionary income to invest in Bitcoin, for example, a student in college that does not have a job or side hustle, that is focused in his/her academic, he gets his weekly or monthly stipends from his parents or friends and well wishers for a well serious and focused student that is not willing to rely on the parents after he must have graduate, while in school from his stipends can decide to start investing right from the day he entered school or along his academic journey of 4-5 years would have invested reasonable amount of his stipends that has served as his discretionary income using the DCA strategy to accumulate regularly and at his final level or when already graduated must have accumulated reasonable amount of satsh in his portfolio, instead of lavishing those extra money on unnecessary expenses or buying double the items he had already.
At his graduation, he would have gotten reasonable amount of fund to startup his life without depending on his parent for survival again.

There are also some persons that does not have a steady income or even job yet are being paid stipends for their upkeep from their rich family and don't see any need of getting a job, such money can be used from the there to start investing in Bitcoin.
Are you now saying that persons like this can't invest in Bitcoin.
