I started buying bitcoin in 2017 myself, didn’t have much capital at all so it was just sporadic purchases. Messed that up big though, I would be in a similar situation if I didn’t mess up, I’d be able to step back and just focus on the biz. I however have time on my side, and I’ve set my life up nicely, got into RE early so overhead isn’t too overwhelming

Bitcoin will be 200k, we know that, it will be a million as well, just depends on the time frame you’re working with. That’s where it comes back to your comment that it’s dependent on your reserves. I think we’ll have 1 last bear market where bitcoin will still play in a reasonable price range.

Honest take but probably considered a controversial one these days, if you’re comfortable and your current job isn’t robbing you of your life and soul, I would keep it and continue making time for what you’re passionate about. At least thru the next bear.

I assume your time is going to open up a bit with your son going to university, so that may add a few hours a week to do your thing. You won’t have to dip into the reserves, you will likely even be able to accumulate more. I obviously don’t know your exact situation but this is my evaluation with the data I do have
