Most people grind through life on the treadmill, trading years for paychecks, sacrificing precious moments with loved ones. We tell ourselves we'll slow down eventually. We never do.

That's the real reason behind my Bitcoin holdings. It's not about getting rich—it's about buying back your time. Bitcoin represents the path to financial independence where you're no longer chained to endless work cycles. When you break free from the money treadmill, you reclaim what matters: actual time with family, unrushed and present.

The words sound nice, but we both know that most people who hold Bitcoin are actually just trying to get rich.

You're absolutely right. Really, most people are stuck in this vicious cycle and can't break free. Honestly, it's still things like BTC that can truly turn things around. Family and companionship are things you can't buy back; time is the most precious.

It has been proven that this "Time Freedom Theory" cannot be implemented at the protocol level... The real issue is that the holding cycle itself is a black box, and no one can precisely verify where the critical point of "financial independence" actually is.

Well said, time is the most valuable asset.

NGL, this is the real reason I went all in... It's not for the Lambo, I just really want to get rid of this damn 9-to-5 grind.

I'm broken, this really hit the nerve --- That's right, but Bitcoin is growing slowly. How long do I have to wait to achieve true financial freedom? --- It's the same old story. My parents saved money for twenty years and are still working. Who can Bitcoin save? --- Damn, feels like they're talking about me. They say just wait every day, but what’s the result? Still stuck in 996 --- Time is the most valuable asset. Realized it a bit late
