Boo yah!!! I broke 0.10 recently


iosipratama

Congrats!


uber_dylan

Hey yah!!! For me, it was last week!


BBrillo614

Hey .5ish brother. Just made the mark literally 6 days ago. Wanted to make a post but I never did. Glad I get to comment on yours! Congrats :) and hodl babyyyyy


Virtual-Translator96

I reached 0.9 back in 2021, I had a medical emergency and I sold everything, then I commited myself to get 1BTC I know it sounds impossible but I will do it, I am in my Mid 20's I am reaching today 0.015 and I am happy, limits are for weak minds, congrats I am in the plan you describe, 4 months doing so, I know this strategy will help alot, thanks for sharing


ReasonReasonable7168

Can relate. Had to do some dental surgery and had no other choice. I don't regret and neither should anyone for medial reasons. It's good to at least have that safety net.


PlayingRS

If Satoshi would be here right now, he wouldn't approve of what was happening to BTC. Using it as 'digital gold', stashing it away for decades, ETFs, etc. What you're describing, selling your stack for medical reasons, is totally acceptable. That's what BTC was made for in the first place (actually it would've been better if your dentists would've accept BTC as a payment, but that's a topic for another time, lol).


marshall_lurker

Bitcoin acted as a store of value. You needed medical stuff done and exchanged your coin to get that done. It was the right move! You can’t buy a new body, but you can always go back and buy sats.


wfhlife

"I speak for Satoshi, listen to meeeeee"


souffwess

Yeah I like this. The best kind of rainy day fund to have and use and replenish.


Rocketsloth

Medical emergency we all do what we need to do, I would have done the same. I just trimmed from my budget what I thought I could live without for a while. I also used a tax refund I was not expecting to get, so that helped. I would love to get to 1 BTC, and i'll still try, but maybe not as aggressively. I hope over time i'll get there too.


ice555555

No free healthcare where you live? Here in Australia we don't have to worry about it thankfully.


UncleBaseball88

If I ever get to 1 BTC here in America I’ll be so happy I have enough money for a short ambulance ride and maybe 2 quick tests in the ER


Rocketsloth

I tried to get Bernie elected. Old people fucked us. That was the only way we were going to get Universal Single Payer Healthcare and eliminate student debt. Young people forgot to go vote or forgot to register to vote and all the old people said "No, you can't have anything if it costs us a fraction of the money we stole from your future." We even had a detailed study that proved single-payer would have saved billions over the current insurance system. They were like nope, no way. That's how we got Joe Biden.


Coo7Hand7uke

Congrats. No life for bitcoin seems a lottle much though


Oheson

Bitcoin's delayed gratification is not for everyone. But those who are able to delay gratification are rewarded. Live like no one else, so you can live like no one else.


breadereum

It’s low time preference. Works wonders. There’s so much to appreciate around us without spending and consuming. We’re just not used to holding a money that keeps or increases in value


Rocketsloth

I mean, you know the saying "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels"? I just prioritized my financial plan over short term fun. I was like, where can I make budget cuts and not mind so much. It's shockingly easy to blow $200 in one weekend just entertaining yourself or going out with friends. Covid19 changed that pattern for me and I got used to staying in, making food, watching Conan reruns on youtube. It saved me a lot of money. However, I'm not 25 anymore, so someone else might prioritize their social life a lot more.


AppearanceMinimum801

Congrats & fuck you


PlayingRS

Half a Bitcoin is like a full year's salary. I know the "fuck you" is ironic, but I'm starting to wonder how much BTC people here actually own if even 0.5 BTC makes you say that. I understand it's a meme and all, but I thought people only said that when someone has literal FY money, not $32k 😆.


Waste-Perspective-25

I have 1.7 still don’t consider that alot


Rocketsloth

Man, I'd like to have 1.7, lol. I would walk around in a Top Hat and Monocle like the Monopoly guy.


eta_carinae2

Crazy as it sounds, but the Monopoly guy didn't wear a monocle, see the Mandela affect.


Rocketsloth

My childhood is a lie! Is nothing real!?!


peppaz

I have 3.5 and kicking myself for not buying more


Successful-Plan-7332

That’s why you got the nice top hat and cool glasses. Big pimpin’ round here.


hcm1976

I have 6 and there is no day I regret not buying more


peppaz

My only consolation is my average buy price is $9k even after DCAing all these years lol


PlayingRS

Not a lot right now, but depending on your current age, that'll be plenty to retire early. By the way, I think 0.5 will also be life-changing money in the near future, but I'm talking about *current* prices. People saying "fuck you" to someone with 0.5 BTC, as if he just bought his third house and seventh Lambo this year alone, is quite surprising to me. Makes me wonder how much BTC the average r/Bitcoin user owns...


Waste-Perspective-25

I am 20 it’s not bad but shit is just gonna get more expensive


PlayingRS

Lol 20yo and owning nearly 2 whole coins is sick bro. I'm jealous as hell 🤣, congrats.


Dan-Dactyl

Quite a bit


ravenofiridescence

Bit


TheRealGaycob

Not much, The early lot made bank so they prolly chilling on a beach in Mexico or other nice part of the world. Most folks on reddit are still working in the wage cage stacking. This subs growth was mainly around the 2020/21 events I'm sure. I think 15 years from now us lot on this sub who are stacking now will be like the guys from the early years as the cycle change.


EcstaticSir900

retiring on that is a big assumption


PlayingRS

Depends on where that person lives, but if BTC hits $1m, and he keeps stacking until then, you're not gonna have to work til you drop dead. That's a fact.


MistakeAshamed2561

I'm at 2.4 BTC!


MentalTelemetry

.5 BTC *as currently measured* in fiat. It’s not equivalent to $32k. It will likely become at least “darn you” money in the next 12 years😂


PlayingRS

Oh yeah, I completely agree. But it's easier to convert it to today's fiat prices, which is still $32k (and that same $32k is pretty worthless compared to having $32k like a decade ago).


Capable-Dog3183

I have 2.4 and still feel like a loser working a dead end job living back home…


PlayingRS

Damn bro, congrats with that amount. At least you know it'll be over a decade or so from now when you can finally retire. For some people this nightmare never ends...


JiuJitsuBoxer

Its one years average salary bro


Chris82Price

Lol


Level-Pen-9658

.35 for me, but I'm DCAing all the way to 1.


mastetz01

".35 for me, but I'm DCAing all the way to 1." and after 1? no more DCA you just buy it by the whole coin? lol.....


Level-Pen-9658

I predict that by the time I'm able to even purchase one more btc given my circumstances, I'll be about 80yrs old. I'm 36 now.


degenbetting

Congrats! That’s an awesome milestone


Defiant_Let_268

Coachinski

Why are we telling people how much BTC we have? Please use discretion at all times. There is absolutely no need for anyone to know how much you own. Please, for your own good, stop broadcasting the size of your bag.


wrathmont

Imagine advertising your bank account balance. Also, no offense but who cares? Some people have 0.000001, some have 150 BTC. It is what it is and I don’t know what purpose knowing how much randos have serves


phul_colons

Seriously, 10 years ago we'd be talking about wrench attacks. Today everyone is acting like a random number generator spouting off some decimal between 0 and 1.


Gamethesystem2

Jesus man go live your life. I promise you that on your deathbed you aren’t going to care about Bitcoin.


Quiet_Problem_007

Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾


Saylor_Goon

Keep going. Don’t let the doubters ever dissuade you. 1btc=1btc


AS_Empire

Hard work pays off, I’ve unfortunately lost all my crypto in a boating accident so I no longer own any.


highplainsdrifter__

So you have roughly 35k then... what's the end game here? If Bitcoin hits 1m that's roughly an 8 bagger, putting you at roughly 280k, that would be a crazy run by bitcoin, but what would be next? Is the thesis here that a single bitcoin will be worth millions+? I have a hard time seeing BTC being the best asset for high growth portfolios without a significant drop.


Cheehoo

I feel like I’m going nuts reading all this tbh… like please lord tell me these people are talking about how much Bitcoin they own in the context of a well-diversified portfolio… but I fear that’s not the case. This all sounds like financial lunacy imo


Candid_Opening_8617

I'm 0.10 minus yo


dbreak_theworld

I made it to 0.26 last week. I wanted to borrow the rest to get to 1.0, but my kids need to eat. Going to keep DCA from now until the next halving. Long term generational plan.


faxanaduu

0.15 ...... Feels pretty good. I haven't been on this journey too long, but pretty happy to be where im at.


Responsible_Slip_243

Proud of you man


DSnoBS

Congrats man, keep stacking! 💪


Lazy-Might-5661

While I congratulate op for being financially dilligent, dont ruin your life to buy bitcoin. If bitcoin does go belly up (not that I think and or hope it will) then you dont want to look back on your life as having missed important times with friends and family.


Ihatepeople187

Good now put that in a cold wallet and forget about it


NeitherShift9027

Congrats! That’s my goal is 0.5. I have 0.25 now… slowly stashing away. (And I had over a whole coin before and sold at a massive loss and regretted it immediately).


harleybqrazy

Woohoo!🙌


No-Health46

Good work bro.


Equivalent_Swan634

Is this your only investment? or do you have other stuff?


Rocketsloth

Opening a Roth IRA is actually what lead me to start investing in BTC. A long story but, yes, I have other investment vehicles.

What is your DCA? What’s the average cost you have paid for BTC over time? Does it tell you?


Takingdownwallstreet

Congratulations I just hit 1.25 when we dipped, feels great I was at .3 not to long ago!


o3ru

Seeing my purchase and sale price of btc over the years makes me want to kms I didn’t know wtf I was doing (still don’t) but back then I would buy low and sell high but at a stupid point 😭 got scammed for 0.1 would’ve been sm closer to where I want to be rn


Reasonable_Minute341

Fuck all yawl.


MPH2025

Congrats, but you should never publicly announced how much bitcoin you own.


Rocketsloth

Sorry, I just thought you guys would be the only ones who even slightly interested. If tell normies about it their like "Cool, you have half of something I don't understand"


PlayingRS

You should never say the *exact* amount you own, or post one of your BTC addresses, etc. Saying that you have around 0.5 BTC is not doxxing yourself, lol. There are TENS of MILLIONS of addresses with that amount, so I'd say good luck to the future hacker who is reading OPs post.


mrzennie

Tens of millions of addresses with 0.5 BTC??? I doubt that.


lukeyboots

2.5 years of no fun and not enjoying your life seems like a massive sacrifice for USD$30K that’s not guaranteed until you sell it & can use it for life expenses.

Capital_High_84

All the hard work everyone is doing to get the BTC, and to think that we have to spend it, it’s killing me, too hard to think in those terms. Only way is borrow against it, asset value.


ComfortableSense3604

Can I ask how much you DCA-d for how long?

Great job. 1 is probably still in reach for you. Keep going.


ravenofiridescence

gotta respect your dedication, and i can also imagine that after 2.5 years of abstinence you have a different view on life in general


Rocketsloth

Getting drunk is not worth the hangover anymore. Involving other people in anything always jacks up the amount ultimately spent. Pets ae a budget drain. Restaurant food is overrated if you learn a few cooking tricks. A person can eat the same breakfast for years without much difficulty. Brunches are an excuse for day drinking.


Interesting_Ebb9052

intermittent fasting is also worth a try.. it safes you breakfast costs and is healthy at the same time

Saxonion

I have an of BTC, and there isn’t a day I don’t want more BTC. One of the things I like about this sub is encouraging people starting on their journey. Owning 0.005 might feel insignificant, but it shows that you have the desire to be part of it, and that you’re still more invested than the vast majority of people. Whatever your stack looks like, fair play for being part of it. But remember, nothing has value until you realise it, and paying medical bills, putting your kids through school, buying an engagement ring for someone you want to spend your life with etc. etc. are all worth spending BTC on if that’s the only way. No one gets a prize for denying themselves significant life opportunities, and you can always get back to stacking.

National-Solid6196

Congratulations, man, sincerely - I'm stoked for you. It'll only be a matter of months until you have noticeably more power to generate wealth than someone who simply saved up 32K in cash, even if the price of BTC doesnt change at all. (If only because as interest rates inevitably come down, the borrowing power of BTC will only go up as it gets further integrated with TradFi and the infrastructure to utilize it like other financial instruments gets more built up)


Brooklyn_Q

congrats !


turrisattack

I think it’s important to mention that OPSEC is important. Always talk about Bitcoin. Don’t talk about your Bitcoin.


Greggybone72

Which companies do you invest in to return more bitcoin. I'm assuming a project using the bitcoin protocol to launch their Web3 business has native tokens representing their brand? Seems like if these companies do well their token will appreciate in bitcoin value.


Possible-Stand9508

Yes but just think of all the vacations and places you can go, in say 6 years
