The problem that you are having is that you are using the funds for important things to invest in bitcoin and this is why you cannot hodli. Since you are earning up to $3k, you should make a proper calculation on your monthly expenses and how much it is, after that, you should also keep some funds in reserve for emergencies that can occur in future. If all these are done, you should look at the amount left and if it is still up to $500, you should keep $400 aside and use only $100 to buy bitcoin regular, either weekly or monthly based on when you do get paid. If it is weekly, you accumulate the amount for one month to make sure it is $100. Always buy bitcoin with this amount every monthly, and practice this for four years, it is called DCA method. Forget that you have an investment somewhere, but your concern should be your constant buying to keep on increasing your bitcoin portfolio. Then be patient with your investment for a very long time. Before you know it, you will have a significant amount of bitcoin in your portfolio after four years. However, if after doing all your calculations and you just have let me say $20 below, you should cut down your expenses and also look for a second means of income to enable buy bitcoin and hodli for a long time and also it will help you to be able to increase your bitcoin portfolio. Only use the money that will not be useful to you for a long time to invest in bitcoin so that you can hodli.

You're right. The expenses are in megatons. Even bought a hardware wallet sometime ago to start HODLing. There's zer btc in it.



Can't seriously seem to not need any short-term.

The way you described your situation, it makes me think that you are investing in bitcoin way more than your finance can handle (that forces you to sell during bear) so maybe you should adjust the amount so you are more comfortable hodling for longer period of time.


Hardware wallet is a good investment even if you don't use it for a long term hodl.

There have been people around us who have experienced this because of necessity so Bitcoin is not held like a long-term investment in the hope of selling at the highest price.
Practices like this do not need to be blamed because Bitcoin can be used as we wish.
It is impossible for us to hold Bitcoin for the long term without selling when we need it for our daily needs.

Because we are aware that Bitcoin can provide large returns when the price is highest, then when there is money left over after daily needs, switch to Bitcoin even if the amount is small. If we continue to do things like that, I am sure we can achieve our goal of holding Bitcoin.

Well, thats life on which not all would really be having the capacity on holding up their coins into that situation that they cant really be able to snip it out or would be able to pull it out, considering that we do have that different life situations on which there are ones who could really be able to solve out problems without the need on pulling out their investment but there are ones who cant really be just that able to do so just because their income source cant really be able to hold it out and this is why we dont really have no choice but to convert those Bitcoin into cash specially when we are in need. I cant really blame out someone on missing out those profit making opportunity on holding Bitcoin for long because i do experience it even upto now that i do need to convert those coins into fiat because this is part for me to be able to survive on day to day living.

I do have an income from my day job but since i do have my own family and having this worsening economical conditions then additional expenses would really be there on which my paycheck
doesnt really fit out on the expense that you could really be having and this is why it would really be leaving no choice but for you to make out adjustments accordingly
even if it means that you would really be needing to sell those coins even if you do plan on holding it for long term.

The economic situation is some countries is very severe, investors who intend to keep bitcoins for a long tim will find it difficult to hold. It can be a very disturbing situation, and a heartache to investors like you in these kind of places. The best thing to do if you passing through this similar conditions, the best way to remedy your situation is to seek for extra sources of income, so you can have more to sort out your budget.

The key here is proper allocation of your money. No one's too broke, we just expect too much from ourselves. There are potential investors who are avoidant because the market price of Bitcoin is so high right now. But the catch here is that nothing requires us to own 1 Bitcoin in an instant. We are free to do partial investments of it little by little, just an amount you won't need in times of emergency. Problem is that we are giving or putting everything to it which makes our pockets 'thinner' than the usual. The difference of only investing an amount you can really afford (afford means you can just let something for years without worrying about it), than forcing things out. First and foremost we have circumstances to deal with. Many investors are pushed to edge of selling early because of situational issues on their end and circumstances along the way while holding. This is where investors are suffering from loss which we should avoid in the first place as much as possible.
Not only just a source of income but something stable and consistent for you to have enough 'margin' to engage with investments and to eventually develop additional income. Struggles will always be a part of each of our journeys especially if it is something rewarding. No other choice but to move forward and adapt with those struggling times to earn reward after things ease down.

I am comfortably holding and you're earning more than what I am earning.

I think it's all about your management and the expenses that you're having. If there are some not mandatory expenses that you have on your spendings, what you have to do is to try to lessen or remove them.

You're not broke but it is that you've got obligations and with that, another solution is to increase your source of income and that's for sure going to help.

Exactly. If you are only putting in purely extra money (like long term savings retirement money) into Bitcoin then you won't be in this situation where you always end up having to sell bitcoin to pay for something.

Figure out your budget, cover spending as well as short term savings to build up an emergency fund, and see if you can have even just like $50-$100 per month extra that can go toward long term savings - this is what you should be putting into Bitcoin in order to hold long term so that you can realize that 10x or 20x gain over the next decade or so.
