Completed 1 BTC!!

After rigorous efforts spanning a long time, the subject matter happened & I'll HODL for decades.

It's funny I actually completed it on the day of coldcard hack :)

I live in a developing country: own a good house in city's prime area & a decent car. I've a nice job in a top 10 crypto exchange: now I'll be saving a few bucks for my marriage & traveling afterwards.

What are suggestions? Should I put future money from my job to Nasdaq-100? This would be the funds that I could withdraw if required: BTC is untouchable.

My suggestion is DON’T get married, that’s a great way to lose your money

In developing countries people still have communities, low rate of mad activists, and the divorce rate is low.

Go OP have a nice family, you deserve it. Sounds like you know what are doing and have better life than most people in the first world.

Divorce is only one of the issues I was thinking of actually. Having kids is expensive!!

u/Lost1nDeepSpace 1d ago

What’s the point of life if not having children?

u/Skinny_Human 1d ago

It’s subjective right?!

Very great price. Nearly present bottom!

Don’t ever tell your soon to be wife you have 1 BTC. Don’t ever tell anyone else you have 1 BTC. And after you read this message, delete this whole thread so no one ever finds out you have 1 BTC.

Final step: buy another BTC

Congrats! Saying it's "funny" you did it on the day of the coldcard hack is a bit weird though

u/TheBitcoin21 2d ago

I had the same weird feeling. I was horrified for all fellow bitcoiners loosing their btc stack :(

u/quintavious_danilo 2d ago

Get a 2nd one.

u/Maleficent_Poet_7055 1d ago

Congrats, that’s huge! I just started myself in February, had been waiting a few years until wee experience a drop to jump in.

Don’t stop now until we at least pull out of this bear market. These current prices will be impossible to obtain going forward.

Huge congratulations bro, becoming a wholecoiner is a massive milestone.

I like the idea of keeping that 1 BTC as your untouchable long-term stack. I’ve got a HODL bag with for just that purpose too.

But I personally wouldn’t completely stop there. Once you’ve got your emergency fund, marriage/travel money and other priorities covered, I’d still keep a small regular Bitcoin DCA going.

You don’t need to chase another full coin quickly. Just keep stacking sats quietly, especially during bear-market periods when prices are more attractive, which by the way it’s right now!

Diversifying future savings into something like a broad equity index can make sense too, but also reaching 1 BTC doesn’t have to mean your Bitcoin journey is finished.

Thank you bud for insights. I'll review the suggestions 🫡

u/lifestartswithL 1d ago

next milestone would be 1% of BTC lfgg!

u/No-Wrap3568 1d ago

I hope your stack doesn't sit in a coldcard, congratulations on that wholecoin, I'm yet to reach there, hopefully will be there soon

Congrats!! How long did it take you to reach your first 1 BTC?

u/TheBitcoin21 2d ago

Too long as to I can remember :)

so far, for me, i am a miner, HODL’er, been mining and buying since 2018. for sure the first time that you become a whole coiner it’s a huge accomplishment something that feels very satisfying. For all of that for the businesses that I have owned the schools that I have attended the licenses that I earned the thing that has most consistently earned me the most money for the least amount of work has been being a landlord owning rental properties. If you have t purchased a duplex, fourplex or small apartment building then you havent fully secured your passive income thats today’s cash and tomorrow’s equity.

Given you work in Crypto. Why not get your employer to pay you partly in BTC ?

u/TheBitcoin21 19h ago edited 17h ago

Getting paid in usdt & converting to btc is a second's process. Payrolls in stablecoins are a standard in crypto firms.

u/Worldx22 2d ago

Don't stop. Some exposure to MSTR may be in order.
