⚡️🇺🇸 Acquiring 1 #Bitcoin is becoming near impossible for the average person.

How feasible is it for the US population to stack a whole coin? (The same applies to every other country in the world.)

1️⃣ Median household income in the US is in the $75k-$99k range.

Using these savings ranges, let's see how long it would take you to save up to 1 BTC.

- Bare minimum = 10% of income

- Saver = 20% of income

- Big saver = 30% of income

2️⃣ For the $75k-$99,999 Income Range:

• At a 10% savings rate, it would take nearly 8-11 years to save enough for 1 BTC.

• At a 20% rate, this timeframe drops to around 4-5 years.

• At a 30% rate, a household could accumulate $80,000 in just 2.7 - 3.6 years.

3️⃣ For the $100,000 - $149,999 Income Range:

• At a 10% savings rate, it would take 5-8 years to save enough for 1 BTC.

• At a 20% rate, this timeframe drops to 2.7-4 years.

• At a 30% rate, a household could accumulate $80,000 in just 1.8-2.7 years.

4️⃣ For the $150,000 - $199,999 Income Range:

• At a 10% savings rate, it would take 4-5 years to save enough for 1 BTC.

• At a 20% rate, this timeframe drops to 2-2.7 years.

• At a 30% rate, a household could accumulate $80,000 in just 1.3-1.8 years.

5️⃣ For the $200,000+ Income Range:

• At a 10% savings rate, it would take 4 years or less to save enough for 1 BTC.

• At a 20% rate, this timeframe drops to 2 years or less.

• At a 30% rate, a household could accumulate $80,000 in just 1.3 years or less.

🗣️ Moral of the story ⤵︎

- Make more money

- Save aggressively

- Start immediately

- Buy more when price is lower

I posed this same question when Bitcoin hit 100k and barking bullies almost bit my head off. It’s out of reach for at least 90% of the world’s population. So when they tout “bitcoin fixes this”, I just roll my eyes, shake my head, and giggle. Such a paradox.

Owning that significant of % of the network is out of reach… you can save $1 worth of bitcoin per week if that’s what your budget affords. Bitcoin is for anyone who wants it or needs it.
