Case Studies, Epilogue, and Course Post-Test

Four case studies show Bitcoin used in different real-life situations. Andrea is an eighteen-year-old student earning one hundred and fifty dollars per month part-time. She keeps Bucket A as a small cash buffer and uses Bucket B for a DCA of five dollars per week into Bitcoin. Her strength is consistency and a long time horizon. Her risk is panic selling during drops, and her risk reducer is a clear rule: she does not sell based on price fear. Carlos's family receives remittances from abroad. Some transfers arrive through faster digital methods, the family converts enough to dollars for monthly needs, and they keep a small portion in Bitcoin as long-term savings. Their strength is that less money is lost to fees, meaning more is kept by the family. Their risk is volatility if too much is kept in Bitcoin short-term. The risk reducer is to convert needed spending money immediately and save only the long-term portion.
