Lifchanging wealth < generational wealth < being present for your family.
I'm not a bitcoiner to get wealthy.
I buy bitcoin because it's the best savings vehicle on the market. When the formula is everything รท 21M, and that "everything" part gets bigger as economies grow and technology advances, my savings in bitcoin become more valuable as a result.
My purchasing power cannot be debased, it cannot be confiscated, and I can take it anywhere in the world for free.
It certainly would be nice to have generational wealth to pass on to my posterity; in fact, that's the goal.
However, another goal is to retire myself early to be able to enjoy time with my loved ones. Does that involve borrowing against my stack? Hopefully, if lending options improve for that. Does that also involve being willing to sell some of my stack to live more freely? Absolutely.
Judge me all you want. If you have a better solution that allows me to use it without selling it, I'm all ears.
I find the purity contest about "never selling bro" to be the most unfortunate and annoying part of the bitcoin echochamber. It's like y'all forgot the whole point.
