Thank you. It matters to me, because I am likely lower income than most of you, and even dipping a toe into crypto has a higher risk, because I have so much less income to invest in any one element of diversity.
I am considering putting $1000 into bitcoin, and that may sound like nothing to high rollers, but $1000 would buy 1000 feet of livestock fencing for me, and if it all goes out in a solar flare, 1000 feet of livestock fence would be worth far more than $1000 of bitcoin.
I am a housewife/farmwife. All the income is from my husband’s blue collar labor. He has been extremely sweet and tolerant of my ‘end of the world’ fantasies, so I am hesitant to ask him to diversify into something as risky as bitcoin, when all our other extra funds have gone into PMs or more traditional forms of savings.
I have to carefully consider my asks, since I have already spent a few thousand of his hard earned pay on a well drilling crew that didn’t hit water. He took that loss in good humor, but money doesn’t exactly grow on trees around here.
