You don't need a steady income to invest in bitcoin, there is a difference between having a source of income and having a steady source of income, steady means at a regular interval and there are many bitcoin investor who don't receive funds at such regular intervals, what's needed to invest in bitcoin is a discretionary income which is what's left behind after all you basic bills have been taken care of, you might be recieving money weekly or monthly, your source of income might not be steady at all like how it is for most contractors, just because their income isn't steady doesn't mean they don't have a source of income at all, so please don't misunderstand the two.
The point is that there are some people whose income is not steady. In fact, the amount of money they receive once in a while maybe after three months or twice a year could be more than what those with steady incomes make in two years or more. So, as long as someone has discretionary funds, they can invest in Bitcoin. The point is that having a steady source of income is not a requirement to invest in Bitcoin. In fact, some people may have a steady income, but it’s very possible they don’t have discretionary funds because their income, despite being steady, is not always enough to solve their problems. So, this kind of person may not be able to invest in Bitcoin.
It’s not just about having a steady source of income but discretionary funds.You are right It’s not just about having a steady source of income but discretionary funds, some people steady source of income those not bring discretionary income while some people without steady source of income has discretionary income, our family friend in my home town is working as a teacher in our community school he's paid every month and I also have a family member who is working as a plumber and he only gets job when someone calls him to a job, these two people are investing in Bitcoin however the teacher usually has no discretionary income some months and any month that he is lift with discretionary income is usually small amount of money, however the plumber usually don't have a specific month he gets job, meaning he has no steady source of income however whenever he gets job he is usually pay very big amount of money so after he's done with the job he pays all his bills and get things that are needed in the house and then he is usually lift with good discretionary income and he use it to accumulate Bitcoin and his doing very well than the teacher since he even have a backup funds but is not that strong.
I was the one that introduced them to Bitcoin so I know how successful each of them are in there Bitcoin accumulation journey.
So just like you said It’s not just about having a steady source of income but discretionary funds.
