The story just sounds absurd to me, because how could you possibly earn nearly 1 Bitcoin just by picking cans and selling them? It seems too far-fetched.

however, i agree that finding a side hustle to accumulate bitcoin is a good option, because by using the money from your side hustle, you can allocate it to investing in bitcoin, and do so long-term. this way, you can focus solely on investing in bitcoin, while building your portfolio until you reach your target, while at the same time, the money from your primary income is solely focused on your personal needs and savings.
