I think age shouldn’t be very detrimental to our plans of investing in Bitcoin or trying to have more cashflow, because whatever our differences might be that shouldn’t be a discouragement for not buying and investing in Bitcoin, what is really important should be having a discretionary income that we can start investing in Bitcoin and also trying to have other necessary means of sustainability in our Bitcoin investment, I think as long as we’re alive we do pay bills and take care of our expenses, and expenses and bills have nothing to do with age, and I think that is enough reason why we can start investing as long as we have a discretionary income, and you can still try to increase our cashflow by having other source of income which can also help increase the discretionary income, 20s and 30s can just be a benchmark for having energy to have other different cashflow, there are people who are in their 50s and 60s that have multiple source of income, and are the mostly the once doing absolutely tremendous in their bitcoin investments and even have a better Bitcoin portfolio.

And talking about salaries which I know it’s quite important, but it’s more understandable that we’re buying bitcoin as much as we have a discretionary income which would be more safe for us.
Age itself does not stop anyone from investing in Bitcoin or from building more cash flow. What really matters is whether someone has discretionary income and the discipline to keep stacking without touching it for everyday bills. As you said, expenses will always be there no matter our age, so the real solution is having other income streams to support those expenses. That way, whatever goes into Bitcoin remains long term. Salaries or main income can serve as the foundation, but multiple income sources give extra room to increase discretionary income and keep the investment secure.
Bitcoin investment has nothing to do with hard work, such as skilled or unskilled labour, so I totally agree with you that age is not a barrier for anyone who has the desire to invest in Bitcoin. What you need to invest in Bitcoin is a steady source of income that guarantees you a discretionary income that will allow you to invest in Bitcoin, so if you are sure of this as someone who desired to invest in Bitcoin, you are in the right state to invest in Bitcoin, and age will not stop you from doing that because you can be in your toilet or going for business trip and still buy Bitcoin shamelessly and it will not stop you from carrying out your daily activities.

If age was ever a factor in Bitcoin investment, it would only be in the sense of financial discipline rather than physical ability. Even if someone has a steady income, the real challenge is whether they can consistently separate part of it for Bitcoin instead of letting short term needs or desires consume everything. Because in the end, Bitcoin does not reward effort the way labour does, it rewards patience and the ability to hold value over time.

Maybe this is why you will see both young and old investors succeed or fail in the same way. The younger one may have more time but less discipline, while the older one may have income but less patience. What truly matters is not age or location but the decision to treat Bitcoin as long term savings and not just something to buy occasionally when it feels convenient.
