My journey into Bitcoin was entire due to the need to send payment across borders as there was FX and several other restrictions in my country. So, I joined Bitcoin just to use it for cross-border payment without knowing it could actually be a way of creating wealth in the future.
Bitcoin is for global transactions, no censorship and it can be used as investment asset too but to create wealth, it will make you greed. Investment in Bitcoin is great but if you are greed, you will do some wrong things like making loan, using leverage, sell all assets you have to buy bitcoin without any savings for emergencies. It's all risky choice.
Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.
When I look at my Bitcoin wallet first time, my feeling is empty. Because I don't have any bitcoin in that wallet, it is only a software with user interface for me to look.
It takes me time to understand some basic tabs in that wallet and I have to search to learn how to use it, back up.
