Best thing you can do is put maybe $200-$500/month into it now. If it drops, even better, just keep buying.

since btc is finite what happens if someone dies while hoarding a massive amount of it? will it just further diminish the already small amount in circulation adding increased value? or is there some backdoor that btc can come and scoop that **** up

I'm pretty skeptical hippo about all this crypto stuff in general. That said, I'm putting some excess money to work buying ETH at this point. It's not quite as scarce as BTC, but it's the main medium of exchange for some of these De-Fi applications that are coming up. I don't think these things will take off to the point some of the crypto-shills claim they will (i.e. some people are literally calling it the biggest invention since the interwebs), but I think there are use cases for smart contracts and whatnot down the road. If that happens, ETH price will rise so long as the demand for contracts exceeds the limited number of ETH minted per day.

BTC would have worked just as well if it had a small fixed inflation indefinitely. But it's not a big deal one way or the other.

For every person who retires on bitcoin (lol), there will be a lot of wageslaves who lose and whose funds are paying for those people's retirement. PimpMasterC ain't off base with his greed comment in the other thread, chit is rampant everywhere right now

Wanting to get rich and retire off what really amounts to doing nothing, that seems like pure greed. Is that not a fair assessment?

With my current understanding of BTC, or any crypto for that matter, I don't think it's worth it to funnel money into unless it's part of your "volatile investment" fund, or otherwise a "gambling" fund. A good way to live is put 90% of your investing into things like stock mutual funds, ETF's, target date funds, etc. The remaining 10% IMO could go into things like GME/AMC/<insert popular single stock>, and crypto. This way if your single stocks / crypto tanks, it still leaves the vast majority of your investments alone, which will avoid jeopardizing your financial situation from your temptation on risky investing. On the flip side, if the volatile investments multiply, you're still benefiting from this, albeit only 1/10th of what you could've benefited from it since you didn't go all-in, but at least you're still enjoying the gains and not feeling the burn of missing out.
Again I'm not currently doing this. Just a smart way to approach it IMO. Especially if you apply it with the "Never sell at a loss" mentality. Hold onto your investments for months or even years if you have to, never accept a loss, unless you perhaps foresee entire failure in the investment with no chance of recovery... or have an emergency that's beyond your emergency fund and need that cash now.
Per rig in sig, I'm currently BTC mining on the side though.

I agree that investing should not be the only thing you do in life. You should also do something productive and help make things better.
