The average salary in Egypt ranges from 2,330 EGP per month (USD 77) to 41,100 EGP (USD 1,355) per month - with 2,330 EGP being the lowest average salary and 41,100 EGP being the maximum salary (the maximum salary is actually higher).
2. Median salary in Egypt
The median salary in Egypt is 7,840 EGP per month (USD 258).
What is the median salary?
The median salary represents the middle salary value.
In simpler words, half of the Egyptian population earns less than the median salary (USD 258), and the other half earns more than USD 258 per month.
There are also some ranges that are at $77 but when looking at the overall average salary there it can still be said to be good.
Although it is possible that what you said could be true because I don't really know the conditions there but I think $40 a month is still rather small.
Back to the context if the starting salary is $40 a month and allocating half of it to bitcoin I think it's not a matter of dedication or not but it's a little outrageous because you might sacrifice your daily needs and family just to be in bitcoin.
Even if bitcoin is a good place to be still family comes first and you can't put your family aside especially with half your monthly earnings in bitcoin.
From what I have heard from locals there is a situation in Egypt which is very common when real salary, especially in the service sector almost entirely dependent on tips. And not everyone manages to get to a place where tips will be given rather generously, so the real salary comes down to 1-2 dollars a day. Perhaps now these numbers have changed a little due to inflation, but this is what it was several years ago. In such conditions, not only to invest, but even to survive is extremely difficult. But I believe that if even in such a difficult situation a person is looking for ways to change his life for the better, while choosing different ways, including investing in cryptocurrency, then this deserves great respect. And perhaps now he is sacrificing a higher welfare, but he is aimed at living much better in the future and breaking out of such conditions. And investing can help him with this, but living paycheck to paycheck can't.
Because if I guessed it would also be very difficult for me because saying their income for tips like that I don't have any reference from it.
On the other hand, maybe investing is a very good thing but when looking at what you said by having a salary from tips of $1 or $2 I personally feel that there should be other considerations before investing.
Investment is something good but family and life needs must still be considered, it would be great if they take the time to set aside and invest but don't push it too much if we can't do it.

At least he must be aware that in this case investing also requires perseverance and consistency, maybe for this month he can use that much money but in the following months can he still be consistent? it's better to reduce a little in terms of numbers so you don't feel burdened with existing investments.
