We all experience being financially challenged and we cannot deny that money makes us revolve around it. When we find ways to alleviate our financial suffering, we stand our ground and spend so much effort just to see the result and of course, benefit from it. Do you think that spending time and effort to gain bitcoins is a rational idea? Do you think that you could've been wasting your time? Let me know about your thoughts.
I don't know about you, but spending time and effort in accumulating BTC was extremely rewarding for me. I got my first mBTCs sometime in 2013, and I registered as an user to this forum in 2014. During those days, I was really struggling in financial terms. It was difficult to balance my monthly budget and I had virtually zero savings of any kind. From 2016 onward, I started converting some of the BTCs and alts that I received from signature campaigns and bounties to fiat. Things got better in 2017, when the exchange rates increased by 20x. Now I am living very comfortably, with enough savings and surplus income. I am proud of what I did. Worked very hard during my initial days, and in the end I got the reward.
My advice to the noobs here is if you guys concentrate on the long term, then you'll never be disappointed. Don't bother about the short-term returns. Accumulate as many coins as you can and hope for the best!!!
