If it goes up, nice. If it goes down, nice! BTC changed me thanks to this community.

Since I learned about BTC, I have never felt safer. It is the only asset/thing that whenever its fiat value goes down I buy more, because I feel safe in doing it so.

I once unburdened here in a point of my life when I was feeling down while seeing no bright future ahead. I separated from my ex, my wage was miserable, my rent was crazy. And I was like, "should I just put X savings into btc?" in hopes I would get richer in a few years because I was sick of being poor.

The best advice people gave me was as simple as this: "better yourself and make yourself more valuable" because just diving in BTC without a plan just isn't enough.

I started investing in myself. For the last 2 or 3 years I exercised more, I took a course, I ate better, I got more and more valuable in my job to the point of getting promotions and making my bosses tremble whenever I mention leaving. I found a cheaper rent and I found a new woman who loves me and understands boundaries.

I am more confident and feel better, and despite the incredible higher costs of living today, I feel safer and more hopeful about the future because I have BTC.
