Im 28m, and heard about Bitcoin in 2018 shortly after I got out of prison. At the time I was getting my life back together I was saving money and I had 1 bitcoin at one time. I sold it to at some point because I thought I wanted to be a real estate investor as it was an option I could pursue with my criminal background limiting my job opportunities.
I didn't know the first thing about bitcoin or crypto, I even conflated Bitcoin with Coinbase and dismissed it as a scam when I had trouble selling it on Coinbase and withdrawing my money. I started investing in real estate buying single family and renting them out. Covid hit and tenants stopped paying rent, luckily for me I got them to sign up for rental assistance and it was peak of market and ended up selling all my properties 2021. So I ended up with a bunch of cash and needed to do something with it. I told myself I wanted to double my money each year for the next 10 years to become a millionaire by 35.
I looked up everything, every strategy, every investment, history, economics, federal reserve, just went down a rabbit hole and somehow came back to bitcoin. It just offered me the best opportunity and I see it having the best probability of being a very valuable asset 20-30 years from now. I live very modest, have a family, and I really just need the most flexibility and liberty in my life and bitcoin offers me the best tool for the lifestyle I want.
In 2022 I went all in on Bitcoin and have been DCAing since. The past two years I have doubled my net-worth each year. I have a second home in MX, my primary residence, and Bitcoin. 2 beater cars, use my credit cards on a daily, I make about $75k a year between full time job and side businesses. I would be open to diversifying my self custody into BTC ETFs and companies just cause the only threat I see to bitcoin is not being able to exchange for my local currency. However unlikely I think it will be, in 20 years from now it might be throw away money for me I hope.
