Investing as soon as you know is the right way to start but also investing as soon as the funds are available would serve better. Most of us have heard about bitcoin long ago, but maybe because of unemployment or lack of understanding, many couldn't invest even after willing to do so. Bitcoin investment is something that should be planned accordingly before the initial investment. This is because, if the initial investment is faulty, it may not really work out fine when storms arise. Bitcoin planning involves getting a source of income, analysing your possible salary, separating your money to take care of your family, having some to put in your backup funds and emergency funds and then proceeding to invest what you can afford to hold. If you're aware that the longer you hold, the better then you would make proper plans for your bitcoin.
This is the mindset I worked so hard to kill and I'm also telling you to start making efforts not to toe that line. We cannot continue to give excuses about Bitcoin instead we should be propelled by the opportunities that lies ahead for us, keep excuses aside and do the needful. You can't justifying hearing about Bitcoin for years and not investing even if it is $20, yet you have two hands and legs, you have a smartphone,  you have been eating food and not starving and you have been wearing nice cloths and possibly pushing on with life and other activities. It is only when it comes to investing in Bitcoin that you are poor, and unemployed... those are excuses! If you are convinced that Bitcoin is for you and you see the opportunities it holds, that alone will even motivate you to get busy with your life. If white-collar is not available, there are many other types of jobs you can do to raise money. In my place, most people that do 9/5 jobs are even the poorest because people doing things like barbing, laundry services, farming and even people that gather plastic waste for recycling are making decent income and living comfortably. There are even youths that sell things online even when they don't own a shop or spend money to start such business... they will partner with a big shop, snap their products and publish them online and when they see buyer, they take from the store and sell and collect their commission and everybody is happy, these category are even making more money than most people working in the bank.  We are in an era in which excuses are becoming boring and if you end up poor in this generation, it is entirely your fault.

You should set a target of how much you will be investing in Bitcoin per month then work towards it by adjusting your budgeting and doubling down on your hustle and you will see yourself achieving it. Let's be more optimistic about things especially when we see that the reward is something that will outweigh every sacrifice put into achieving it.
Yes, I have come to realise the truth in this your statement. As long as someone is able to maintain a daily life, then he might also be able to have a share in the bitcoin no matter how little. Even though there can be a level of Penury that can also keep someone away from being able to spare a fund in the bitcoin or he would end up investing today and withdrawing tomorrow. Sometimes we believe that some amount as little as $20 dollars is too small for anyone not to have but it's not truly so. Someone might be earning $500 weekly and still have no discretionary income and this does not mean he's lavish in his spendings or not financially intelligent, it could just be an accumulated responsibilities possibly because of his position in his family or previous family ties.
I was thinking you understood my point but your statement is still the same as what you said before... excuses upon excuses. which shows you did not understand my point. If someone is earning $500 per week which is $2,000 per month and yet have no discretionary income, such person is living extravagant lifestyle and definitely living where he is not supposed to live in because that amount can afford a decent lifestyle in most European countries and still leave you with as high as $200 discretionary income. In most European countries, the monthly earning of average worker is around that amount yet they live comfortably.

Like I said before, we are not here to give excuses and I don't like a situation whereby we will embolden people who are enmeshed in procrastination hiding under the illusion that they are poor, unemployed and therefore cannot supposed to invest in Bitcoin yet such people are not malnourished neither are they homeless. Let's get busy with life, hustle like others and save as much as we can in Bitcoin because "the money you save today will save you tomorrow"... this is all am saying.
