So I have heard a lot of people say this. Such that they are going to withdraw all of their money from the bank and buy BTC. And things like will sell their car and house and possessions and all that to buy btc. Many say they will do this and be all in with BTC so to speak.
People who can think of something like that have realized that instead of keeping all their money in a bank that earns interest annually up to 2%, it would be better to invest somewhere like in Bitcoin. Some Bitcoin supporters, those who fully believe in Bitcoin can risk everything including their car and house that's why people can say something like this.
First off, this doesn't make any sense. You have to have fiat so you can spend it on food and fiat in the bank to pay for bills and property taxes if you own a house etc. So when people say they are all in on BTC, they obviously still mean enough cash in the bank for your basic bills things? Like they still have at least 2k usd or 5k usd or 10k usd in the bank? Or for people with lot of money, well still at least 500k usd in the bank right etc?
People know that. Investing everything they have in Bitcoin doesn't mean they don't leave enough money to spend in a month. Have you thought of it that way wherein no one in this world can live without eating?
Now say someone has 50k in the bank. Say their house is worth 500k and they sell that. Well if they do, let say they have around 525k in the bank after taxes for selling their house. That person owns nothing else. Well you going to have to rent an apartment since you need a place to stay. So how can this person even be all in with BTC then? I mean they surely will still have at least 50k in the bank still like previously right? But now that 475k or so from the proceeds of selling the house will be sent to an exchange to buy like 10 btc? So this person's net worth now in terms of btc to their cash would literally be like almost 90%. Isn't this very risky for someone who converts cash to crypto in terms of risk?
It is risky, however, if you truly believe in the technology, you can risk everything for the sake of your future. Bitcoin is a long-term investment that is the goal of those people who are willing to risk everything they have.
