You stayed the course though, more than many I’d imagine. And through many phases 🫡

I’ve been in the space 6 years, feels like 12 . 13.5 must be time for a gold block clock and a retirement package 😂
Just about. But I’m a simple guy with narrow interests. I just ordered my first new vehicle of my life yesterday …and I have the dollars for it…no way I’m selling bitcoin for a vehicle. Never trade an appreciating asset for a depreciating one.
As I get older I have very little need for physical possessions, I enjoy simple pleasures. Stacking sats gives me a wonderful sense of self as it’s an instant connection to anyone globally, a true value shared
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.
