As each day passes, it becomes more and more clear the value that BTC holds. And it reinforces the value of HOLDing.

Why do we all work? We work to get money. But what we're working for is a tool that diminishes in value, no matter how much you make, how long you work, and how much you SAVE.

Working is good.
Making money is good.
Saving money? It's only good for a period or up until a certain amount. The traditional financial advice is to keep 3-6 months or even a year's worth of money saved.

Personally I think this is still a good practice, and I would not totally knock it.

But the facts of the matter boils down to this: saving is the worst thing you can do with your money. It sits there losing value as each day passes. The banks take it and make more money from it. People from Venezuela or those who remember what happened in Germany in the 1920s know what hyperinflation can do to a currency's value. Those are lessons we should learn from. This thing called money, which some use as a status symbol to flash on others, is really a depreciating "asset". Saving it in bank? Makes little to no sense. At least when you spend it on a good time, you get a reward; a good time. When you store it, it's very likely you are not rewarded. Hence why it always made sense to put your money to work for you. Investing makes sense. Buying real assets with money makes sense. It's like constantly upgrading with a new technology, updating software updates etc. You need to do it in order to keep up in this society. If you fail to invest, then you'll be stuck with the spending power of 10 years ago and we all have seen the massive rise of inflation that can be done in 10 years. So my personal thoughts are: everyone should be investing. It's absolutely necessary.

But here's the problem.

No matter how much we invest and no matter how much our money compound - fiat currency is inflationary by nature. So whenever we think of a future return or how much we may need for retirement, we have to account for inflation.

With Bitcoin, even under the threat of volatility, we are storing value in a non inflationary asset. There will only be 21 million Bitcoin and no one can change that. No Fed can print more. No central bank head anywhere in the world can print more. Governments are less involved in this asset. Banks too. We become more powerful because we own the keys to our financial lives. Buying Bitcoin in order to "get rich" is missing the point. Getting something that is superior to fiat and all of its faults is an incredibly powerful competitive advantage.

Some go all in on BTC, some put a percentage of their worth in BTC. It's a wide spectrum. I personally align with the mixed approach. Where are you?
