11 sats \ 6 replies \ @stack_harder OP 30 Dec 2024 \ parent \ on: The dollar as a reserve currency and the Cantillon effect econ
i have to say, while compared to someone in the US i earn poverty-level wages, my general standard of living is pretty great. lower fiat wages do mean a reduced ability to stack as aggressively as i would like though unfortunately
Believe me, I can understand that. Here I feel the same frustration of not being able to stack more real coins.
I lived in South America where the sale of gold and silver for investment is almost non-existent.
and where the salaries are like those left by someone in a bar in a first world city.
Here you earn less, but to a certain extent there is less control and more freedom.
Now we only have to move forward, step by step, firmly and without hesitation.

the silver lining i suppose is that now people at least have the option to put what small amounts they can in btc for the future.
meanwhile, so many people with mega salaries and they;re not stacking a single sat, such wasted potential

Totally, I have a friend who is currently making a good income with her job, and since we were at 25 or 30, which was when I started my DCA and began to expose myself to this bitcoin thing seriously. I gave her the voice and told her to take advantage of your purchasing power and make sure of some of this. And she did nothing, and I literally spent the entire year of 2024, telling her, friend, you have to buy something, watch this video, listen to this Podcast, study Fiat, we must conserve energy, and nothing. A year ago she went to Argentina and returned this year in November as well. And she came back complaining because she spent twice as much as budgeted for the trip. Her trip cost her twice as much in dollars as the previous year. That's it, the last time we talked was at the end of November when I told her to do the SATS calculation of your first trip (Bitcoin between 17k and 20k Nov-2023) and now calculate your second trip (Bitcoin 60k -70k NOV-24)... and see how much you spent on the first trip and how much you needed for the second and finally I told her
Don't believe me at all, go and check it out. Research, read, question.
But as far as I know, she still doesn't expose herself to bitcoin and says that her job consumes her a lot, that she doesn't have time to sit down and study. 🤷

The silver lining is silver. Or not.
