Everyone has a slightly different method for becoming financially free, based on their personality, skill-sets and appetite for risk.
I haven't come across many other BTC enthusiasts though that are using Bitcoin to become financially free, so I thought it might be interesting to share what I'm doing.
My plan, simply put is:
- Invest a % of my Income into BTC (£100,000 / $120,000) - I have almost completed this step
- Wait for that investment to grow by 5-10x
- Pull out my profit and invest into residential property
- Live off the rental income (passive income will be £100,000 / $120,000 p/a)
That’s if it goes according to the plan I’ve detailed here:
https://youtu.be/SiYc6ipKefQ Some may perceive my plan as extremely reckless.
I know I could potentially lose everything that I invest, but I’m prepared to take that risk, because in my mind the potential reward outweighs the potential risk.
If Bitcoin goes to 0, then it will be a major setback. It won’t ruin me, but it will take me two years to save up that money again (saving £50k from my £75k post tax income).
If it pays off, my route to financial freedom will be LIGHT YEARS faster than I could ever expect from property, gold, bonds, or investing in the stock market as a whole.
Although I fully understand the risk involved, I don’t see this as a gamble. I truly believe in Bitcoin as a technology. I’m willing to bet on something that I believe will have a positive impact on the world going into the future.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. That’s it. Start again.
But if I’m right, my life will change.
It would be interesting to hear if anyone is doing anything similar to this, and what peoples' thoughts are.
Bitcoin is never going to zero. I don't think your idea is bad, but if the bitcoin you bought at whatever price goes down, all you have to do is wait even longer. I don't know what are the chances that your investment will growth enough for you to buy real estate, as time passes, bitcoin value increase will slow down. We probably saw the biggest increases in bitcoin's lifetime. It still has more to go, and it will never go flat against fiat, but at its worth point decades away, it will still be growing about 2% or more (the opposite of the induced fiat devaluation).
So its not exactly bad either, but expect it to be more boring. Think of gold, just think if you did your plan with gold, perhaps a decade later your gold will be a bit worth more than what you did invest, but not that much. Bitcoin is a bit more valuable than gold, but not by much (unless someone discovers a new gold source which would make its price plummet but Bitcoin will look stronger against it).
How much i can't tell you, but in my opinion it will grow slower in price than all its lifetime, so under 100k by the next decade, since it already grew 10 times i cannot grow 10 times in the same time period again, its under that else correction will occur. Could be 99k or it could be 12k we shall see. I think it will be a bit more than 20k. by 5 years or so, but don't count on it.
