In past cycles I have been luke warm. In 2016 it was a few dollars at a time. Had I had more conviction, life could be very different today. I have a family and I will not ask them to go without, but we are clear about needs vs wants. Everything after needs are met is Bitcoin and increasingly we are on a Bitcoin standard, spending in Bitcoin when we can. The Opportunity Cost app has helped me to start thinking in sats. nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy I chase stacking goals denominated in sats, not dollars and it always feels like an asymptote since the price moves faster than the cash comes in sometimes. I may not ever hit my next goal if the next few months go how I expect them to, but I will not regret being luke warm this cycle. I have done my best for my family.

You’re still way, way ahead of most people.
Pre-pandemic savings averaged to $400 a household. $400! Post-pandemic that number ballooned to around $1200 - one of the easiest ways to measure inflation if you ask me.
You’re going to be fine.
