My secret insight to bitcoin longevity: resident salary increases fairly substantially every year (like 5% for me during a minimal inflation era)…then a decent bump for fellowship and a major bump for getting first real job and then substantially more every year until partner and then another healthy bump.

If you always make more money every year, it’s easy to hodl.

All the OG that quit their jobs or bought lots of stuff ended up where they started.

I’m fortunate in that I love being a radiologist and I’m really good at it. While I don’t _need_ to work, I want to enjoy life and still stack sats. So I stack what seem like tiny amounts of bitcoin for a rainy day. My $40/month coinbase auto buy in residency will pay for my first born’s college education.
