I would love to ask you all: how do you as an individual use Bitcoin to safeguard your own savings, or purchasing power? Do you have any innovative things you have done that are more than simply holding long term?
Good points you have raised. However mental discipline is far more important in any investment. If someone wants to build a good sizable amount in the future, disciplined investment at regular intervals, will always help to achieve the goal.
I have been investing in many assets a long time now. But the amount of return Bitcoin and ETH has given to me, cannot be match with any other investment. So I always ensure to invest a small amount from my salary into Bitcoin. It is certainly helping me with inflation but it has also helped me building a Corpus that no other assets could achieve.
For me holding long term is priority but it is also required to invest regularly.
