Since Strike updated their limits I started taking my whole pay in bitcoin and then a couple of days before the end of the month selling just enough to cover my bills and to zero my credit card balance. As shown in the graph my stack in BTC is generally increasing over time. Also the fiat value of my stack after 4 months is equal to 31% of my yearly take home pay. In effect I have been living for free. To do this you need regular income and to spend less than you earn and some savings so you can stomach the volatility.
