Been stacking for a while now. Running nodes, earning routing fees, buying more on dips. The usual.
But lately, I caught myself thinking... what's the finish line?
Is it when I hit 1 BTC? 5 BTC? Enough to never work again?
Or is the goal just... freedom?
I see so many people (myself included) falling into the trap of "never selling". And look, I get it. Fiat is trash. But if you stack forever and never enjoy the fruits of your risk, did you really win? Or did you just become a very secure vault?
I'm not talking about recklessly dumping sats on lambos. I'm talking about using Bitcoin to live a better life today.
Maybe it's taking a month off to travel.
Maybe it's buying time back from a job you hate.
Maybe it's helping family without worrying about the exchange rate.
I don't have the answer. Honestly, I'm scared to spend because I know what the price might be in 10 years. But I also know I won't be 30 forever.
Curious to hear from the old guard here: Did you set a target? Or do you just hold until the end?
How do you balance stacking for the future vs. living for now?
Just looking for some perspective. Cheers. 🍻

😂😂lol.. ok you're right..... 🖕🖕Why are you bothering to comment under a clanker's post?
Well, not all their conditions are the same, friend... Fortunately, you are in such a way that you can keep and save and keep your bitcoins that will increase more and more until this question comes to your mind... But if I take myself as an example, even though I work hard and I can't stop working even on the weekends, I can provide the basic expenses by force and there is no room left for savings... I need my laptop badly and I used to do a lot of my work with it, but now just because I can't pay for its repair which is about 50 dollars, I was left without a system for a month and a half and everything is messed up..
