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.
The main point I can take away is that finding any job that can provide income to survive and allow us to buy more Bitcoin without having to adjust our budget further from our income is certainly a very positive and reasonable thing. Regardless of whether the story about the can hunter is true or not, I personally don't really care because he probably always gets at least hundreds of kilos of cans a week, lol.
On the other hand, this may ultimately be encouraging for some people, especially beginners who believe motivational quotes like this. However, I have a slight concern about those who focus too much on what others have and try to implement the same thing without understanding the risks that could occur at any time. Considering the background of two years ago compared to now, it's clear this will be a multiple benefit. For now, even though I strongly believe Bitcoin will be much more than this in the long term, for new people or those just getting started with Bitcoin, they always want to avoid the short-term impact, so it's still important to learn how Bitcoin works before actually investing in it.
