‘I’m never selling’: I’m 47 and buy bitcoin with every dollar I earn. Am I crazy?
In this news:
Key takeaways
- A 47-year-old woman owns 2.5 bitcoin and buys more with every paycheck.
- She started buying at $104,000 and continued through drops into the $58,000s.
- She plans to rely entirely on her bitcoin holdings to retire within a few years.
Dear Quentin, I read the Moneyist letter from a 50-something bitcoin fan (“My retirement is completely in bitcoin: Why don’t more people do what I do?”). She’s not alone. I’m a 47-year-old woman holding 2.5 bitcoin, and I’m never selling. I buy more every payday, rain or shine. When my paycheck lands, it takes a detour through bitcoin before a single bill gets paid — my own little laundromat. The money comes out cleaner on the other side.
I just had to buy a car, which stung, but every other spare dollar goes toward stacking. I’m counting on bitcoin to let me retire in the next couple of years. People in my life think I’m crazy. Maybe I am. I started buying when bitcoin was at $104,000 and kept buying all the way down into the $58,000s. I’ve ridden out the crashes, bought the dips, and every time I’ve been rewarded for holding on.
