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?”). 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.
