Core Strategy and DCA

You cannot control inflation, market prices, or government decisions. You can control: Skills (things you know how to do or can learn), Income (how much you earn by solving real problems), Spending (whether you make intentional or emotional purchases), and Savings rate (how much of your income you keep). A simple truth: if you earn more and spend more, your life does not improve. If you earn more and save more, your options grow. Your life is made of time. If you trade your time for money, and then trade your money for stuff, then you are trading your life for stuff. This module is about using money as a tool to buy back options, time, and freedom. Bitcoin has qualities useful to some long-term savers: limited supply rules, portability across borders, self-custody without a bank, and a public network anyone can use. Bitcoin also has risks: short-term price volatility, scams, self-custody mistakes causing permanent loss, and emotional mistakes like buying hype or selling fear.
