Back in 2020, I started buying Bitcoin with just $20 nothing big, but it was all I could spare at the time. It didn’t feel like much, but it was my way of at least having some skin in the game. So I understand how frustrating it can be when you want to invest but simply can’t because of life’s circumstances
I'm seriously motivated to congratulate you on having the motivation to start small without and build consistently. It is quite encouraging because not many people know that $20 invested in Bitcoin per week and done consistently, can be a life saver in the future. I'm am doing something like that at present and I believe I will have a wonderful testimony to tell ten years from today.
While that is nice, don't you feel sad when you see bitcoin going up. Also I am always shocked to see that people have enough money to live, plus save aside for crypto investment, plus put aside some for emergency fund.
Right now, I can't buy bitcoin nor save aside at all, because I have huge amount of debt. Me and my wife started a business, and I work every single day, and we make very little money for the time, mainly because of the debt of starting the business. The good news is, even after just three months (not even fully three months yet) if we had zero debt, we could survive easily with the money we make. But because it took a ton of loans to open it up, I can't save even a dollar aside. I literally have 10 cents in my bank account lol.
.....In your case, the debt is the main wall between you and saving or investing, and that is no small thing. Business loans can feel like a never ending weight, even when the business itself is doing fine. What makes it harder is seeing others with enough income to handle living expenses, stack sats, and still have an emergency fund , it is like they are playing a different game entirely.
From his response, he has not even been convinced that Bitcoin could be the best investment opportunity he would have taken that was why he never invested in Bitcoin for close to a decade he has been in the business. What became more discouraging was the fact that the loan he took was not to invest in Bitcoin but in other business which means Bitcoin is completely out of the picture. It is such a bad example for those that are young in the business of Bitcoin but a good learning opportunity for all to see how much liberty we could enjoy if we take Bitcoin seriously and beyond mere words of mouth.
