It stores the longterm value of your money MUCH better than the dollar. Opening up the possibility of not having to live paycheck to paycheck. And THAT is what opens you to finding what your heart and mind REALLY care about, and where you eventually want to spend your newfound time. Its a slow grind, but at least theres light at the end of that tunnel, instead of a collapsed tunnel exit from a deteriorated fiat dollar ponzi scheme for the rich....🙄
