A few months ago, I was offered a promotion.
My pay would increase by ~8%, while my responsibilities would pretty much double, and the stress level would increase meaningfully.
Not to mention my schedule would be much more restrictive, compared to the very flexible one I already have.
My answer was a simple NO.
But why? I could've stacked more Bitcoin, right?
Yeah, sure. You could say that...
But I expect the purchasing power of my Bitcoin savings to grow at a minimum of 20% per year, for the next 10 years.
It really isn't worth it, when you look at it that way.
Saving in Bitcoin puts you in a financial situation where you're not desperate for promotions.
Have you had a similar experience?
