Having an alternative source of income is good but that does not fully guarantee the safety of your bitcoin stash. To hold your bitcoin for long, there have to be a strict adherence to building your emergency funds either from your alternative income or main source of income. That emergency funds are built and kept in cash at all time. Having alternative source of income sometimes make some investors believe they can always have money for their emergencies and they forget to be intentional about building their emergency funds. This has led to situations where emergency comes up and there's no cash money to fund it either because the alternative source of income is actually a business which you can only get money from during the day time when you open to sell. But emergencies do not announce time. If it comes in the middle of the night, you don't need to wait till morning to open your alternative source of income. So in a nutshell, prepare your emergency funds and make it handy always. That's the only way you can be sure that you won't sell your bitcoin prematurely except in the event when nature faces you with situations your emergency funds can not handle and you've exhausted all other options without sorting it out.
[/quote] Go ask anywhere in the world it is safer and with ease in stashing portfolio on any investment including bitcoin which is our subject matter in this thread by having multiple sources of income. There is no how you can be intentional with one means of making money and succeed on stashing for long aggressively because your one means of income can't guarantee that on the basis of you intentionality to stashed bitcoin at any emergency but on your multiple sources of income. With which you can fall on X income to settle an emergency when YZ income is not available. With multiple sources of income you can at anytime turn over for another to settle either your emergency or buy your bitcoin. There is hardly how you can have all your sources closed at once.
