...There is no need building an emergency funds to protect your bitcoin investment when you don't have any bitcoin because you have nothing to protect...
I think this your statement is very wrong. Emergency funds is very important for anyone whether they are investing in bitcoin or not. Since  emergency situation like paying of hospital bills, car repairs , accident etc, this are situation that we don't have control over hence there is need to have an emergency funds since since such emergency situation doesn't just occur to bitcoin investors alone. Having an emergency funds before investing in bitcoin will help in protect your assets.

I get you Proty, and of course, I’m not denying that having an emergency fund in life is important..  Everyone needs something put aside for unexpected events. But this particular discussion is about Bitcoin, and that is why I don’t agree with putting the emergency fund before actually owning any Bitcoin at all. The truth is, the first real step is to start stacking, even if it is very little.. you should not delay by saying let me first save this, let me first prepare that and by the time they’re done planning, the market has already moved.. the people who gained the most from Bitcoin are those who actually started, not those who kept waiting for the perfect moment..

So in my view, the smarter move is to get into Bitcoin first, even if it is just $20 or $50 a week. Once you’ve started building your bag, you can then think about balancing it with other financial tools like an emergency fund. But delaying investment completely just because of that will only hold you back. Bitcoin does not wait for anyone you either start stacking now and grow with it, or you keep postponing until the opportunity passes you by…
