That’s honestly the harsh reality… and it hits deep. People don’t talk about this enough. For someone who is already struggling financially, building a Bitcoin portfolio takes a lot of discipline and sacrifice. So imagine after years of grinding, stacking little by little, then one emergency shows up and boom, they have to sell their Bitcoin at the worst possible time, maybe even at a loss. That kind of thing can break someone mentally and financially.

And like you said, for people in that kind of tight situation, they don’t get unlimited chances. One wrong move or slip up could wipe out years of effort. That is why having even just a small emergency fund on the side is so underrated. It does not even have to be much, just enough to give you breathing space when life hits. That alone can be the difference between bouncing back or falling off completely.

I feel like too many people try to copy what rich investors are doing without realizing they don’t have the same safety net. Rich guys can take a hit and still be fine. But if poor, you’re walking on a thin rope, and one misstep can cost everything.
All you said here are the actual fact, as an average income earner, you don't have that luxury in taking any wrong step when investing in Bitcoin like most rich guys out there, your money management skills must be good if not, in time of emergencies, all your Bitcoin holdings might be sold off due to the fact that you have no emergency and reserve funds in place.
Even till today not every newbie investors takes emergency funds very serious and I sees it as a result of ignorance, because if they truly knows the importance of emergency and reserve funds in Bitcoin investment, they would know that the survival of their Bitcoin holdings depends on their emergency and reserve funds.
