βš‘οΈπŸ”Ž FYI - If you invested your entire salary, here's how many years it would take you to buy 1 bitcoin:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ USA: 1 year

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ Switzerland: 1 year

πŸ‡«πŸ‡· France: 2 to 3 years

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Germany: 2 to 3 years

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± Poland: 4 to 13 years

πŸ‡§πŸ‡· Brazil: 4 to 13 years

πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦ Morocco: 13 to 39 years

πŸ‡²πŸ‡¬ Madagascar: 40+ years

....

For many, owning 1 Bitcoin one day was a realistic ambition.

Today, that ambition has faded.

One whole Bitcoin has become a luxury, just like real estate or a work of art.

It's interesting how my Brazil manages to be in such bad shape. All thanks to a welfare state that only knows how to feed bums with the sweat of honest workers. Here, of the minimum wage you earn, 92% goes to taxes, which finance the Supreme Federal Court (STF) lobster, child castration and abortion.

But you shouldn't be caring about it. You should buy what you're comfortable buying and know, on a percentage basis, you can still be happy with the outcome.

The problem is most of us get taxed to oblivion, without getting anything in return, its such a lost opportunities costs. Without this stupid high taxation we could buy much more

Bold of you to assume we make 100k+ a year

The average income in Norway is 0,7 BTC, so we should be light green

This chart assumes that these people work for fiat and then convert to BTC when they could just work for BTC directly. The only issue is those jobs are scarce, usually globally competitive, and can still be taxed if the feds require you to report it which they will.
