I was having a conversation with a friend, and we talked about how difficult the economy is and how it can disrupt someone's plan to hold their bitcoins without tampering with it.
In times of economic stress it's expected that resources can be spared for other activities, investments etc and this will mean that people will actually stop saving as uncertainty is present in such a scenario.
I think this is true because if you think of how difficult things are getting, Salaries from jobs no longer sufficient to sort all needs, and profit from business seriously affected and made intangible because of the increasing cost of running a business and the rising cost of things.
On this one it's actually not only about having a bad economy, people around the world aren't relying on one salary unless it's well paying, but even though this is the case you need to find a way to make extra cash to avoid financial stress that comes from too many bills to attend too..Btw if we look at how our Rich friends make their money, you will find that they don't depend on one stream of income and this is what people need to be adjusting to!
Holding your bitcoins has a lot to do with discipline truly, but discipline is harder to practice when you are being suffocated and suffering financially with plenty bills and responsibility to respond to. People in countries with better economy, where there are good jobs and businesses are working, Bitcoins will easier hold than for people who are in places with terrible economic situation. What do you think?
They say tough times, build tough men and if the economy is bad you have to work twice as hard to maintain a good lifestyle otherwise you could lose everything if the fight for a better living isn't doubled. As for bitcoin and hodling, tbh this isn't for everyone especially that today's small investors want to see results tomorrow which is impossible...bitcoin is for those that don't mind the outcome and are investing in it without any pressure .
