According to the article this man has been collecting and selling used cans for the past 2 years and uses the proceeds to buy Bitcoin and now he is near having one Bitcoin.

I am bringing this here to encourage those who are in their little way doing what they can to accumulate Bitcoin, this story proves that it is not more about what you do but how consistent you are in buying Bitcoin.

A used can picker is not the most tech savvy man in the world so not being tech savvy is now not an excuse your present work can be your means to start no matter how small the result will show up over time.

I saw this post in my LB and though it would be a source of encouragement to lots of people here to find ways to make discretionary income available even if it means taking a side hustle and start investing instead of just waiting until whenever you would start having discretionary income to invest into bitcoin, you can actually do more to raise such income that you would use to invest into bitcoin just like this guy. Another remarkable thing is his consistency for a long period of time, doing the same thing over and over again and investing the proceeds into bitcoin, this is an evidence of great dedication, commitment and consistency in his accumulation journey which is required of anyone who wishes to be successful in his investment into bitcoin.

Hitting almost 1 Bitcoin in just 2 years? He must be making a lot of money from gathering disposal cans and reselling them to have been able to accumulate such an amount. Or maybe he's not actually investing with his discretionary income alone. Yeah maybe sticked to a consistent DCA but definitely not with his discretionary income alone, which can be a very dangerous approach for investors. Sure we can learn a thing or two from the man's story, like the consistency and sticking to a regular DCA, but let's not be to aggressive with our accumulation to the extent that we act or become ignorant of things that really matters, like taking care of essential expenses, setting aside funds for backup and Investing only with our discretionary income. Because some investors after seeing these kind of posts, gets overly motivated, aggressive and obsessed with reaching a sizable amount sooner, it's always crucial to prioritize setting and sticking to a realistic approach as this is the key to actually reaching your financial goals.

No I can imagine it wasnt only the proceeds of can collecting which enabled him
to accumulate BTC1 - it doesnt matter though, he seemingly got there.

For calculation sake lets take the Bitcoin price at $25,000 and that he gets a
refund of $0.10c per can...every day for a year he would have to collect 685
cans. Also bear in mind that the market is moving and ok he is buying the dips.
With such a task buying the dips would have to be part of the strategy to maximise
the reward from such a labourious task.

Anyway, its a lesson either way that some people are prepared to work their ass off
and be so focussed in their goal that they can achieve them.

That man is a very good example of finding different paths towards financial freedom. Whatever you do today, whether it's work, selling used cans for money, or whether selling your body, it's NOT your endgame. Those are merely the means to an end - which is to accumulate more Bitcoin as much as you can, and as much as possible.

That man looks older than most of us plebs in BitcoinTalk. If he can accumulate one whole Bitcoin, what's your excuse? Find a job, a second job, and a side-job selling used materials AND STACK THOSE SATS then HODL.
