I really appreciate how the thread unfolded, especially around the idea of commitment vs. dollar amount.
The $100k benchmark is more symbolic than practical for many, especially those in developing economies or just starting their journey. It represents conviction and long-term thinking, not a mandatory entry fee. The danger is that when we anchor the idea of “seriousness” to a large number, we risk alienating the exact people we hope to encourage.
What really matters is the mindset. A person stacking $30 or $40 a week with consistency, over years, is often more aligned with Bitcoin’s core principles discipline, patience, and long-term vision than someone who throws in six figures overnight and vanishes.
Everyone starts somewhere. Some of us began with pocket change and a ton of doubt. But with each weekly buy, that doubt turns into knowledge, and the small stack starts to look a lot more powerful when viewed through the lens of time and conviction.
Also, completely agree with the idea that if people are going to explore stictions or trading, it’s better they do so with firm boundaries after they’ve secured a solid Bitcoin foundation. Even a 5–10% “fun allocation” is only manageable when the core is strong and untouchable.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin is not just about number sit's about resilience. Whether you're stacking sats from side hustles or reallocating legacy investments, the key is to keep showing up.
As they say: "It’s not about timing the market, it’s about time in the market."
You are right, and I agree completely. What matters most is the habit of showing up and staying consistent, not the size of the stack. A steady approach builds not only your Bitcoin position but also your understanding and confidence over time. It is better to have a strong foundation and grow with intention than to rush in without direction.

Also i, completely agree with the idea that if people are going to explore shitcoins or trading, it’s better they do so with firm boundaries—after they’ve secured a solid Bitcoin foundation. Even a 6–10% “fun allocation” is only manageable when the core is strong and untouchable.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin is not just about numbers—it's about resilience. Whether you're stacking sats from side hustles or reallocating legacy investments, the key is to keep showing up.

Bitcoin is not a measuring contest, it is a mindset marathon. While people fixate on hitting the mythical $100k benchmark, they miss the beauty of the journey itself. In third world countries, where income disparity and inflation reshape how people view money, that number can feel like a distant planet. But conviction, Discipline, Those are free, and they compound faster than any token.
Your point about stacking $20–$30 weekly is gold. That quiet grind reflects Bitcoin’s ethos better than flash buys or hype cycles. You are not just buying sats you are building financial resilience, bit by bit. It’s like sowing seeds during dry season, knowing the rain will eventually come.
Also, diving into shitcoins and trading without a solid Bitcoin foundation is asking for trouble. Bitcoin is where you build your safety net, everything else is extra, and honestly, a lot more risky.... Most of these altcoins aren’t stable, and they can crash overnight. If you are going to touch them at all, it should only be with money you can afford to lose, and never before locking down your core stack in Bitcoin...In the end, showing up consistently especially from the trenches is the real flex. Bitcoin isn’t about timing perfection. It’s about showing you had the vision to stick around long enough to see it bloom.
