Hey everyone

I’m Karabo, a financial advisor from South Africa. Most of my day is spent helping people figure out money, build some wealth, and retire without stress.

But here, I’m the rookie. I’m here to learn more about Bitcoin, how it really works in people’s lives, and maybe earn my first sats along the way.

I’ll also share some of the money lessons I’ve picked up from the “traditional finance” world and see how they translate here too.

Quick question to kick things off: What’s one thing you wish you knew earlier about Bitcoin? Besides bitcoin itself : )

Looking forward to being part of this community. And if you’re reading this, zap me a hello ⚡

Bitcoin will force you to become fairly austere. When every expenditure you make, is mentally calculated to be "10x" over the coming years (in BTC terms), then it forces you to live far below your means.

Buying that nice $75K BMW sounds good, but if you instead bought a decent $10K used car and put (or kept) the rest in BTC. You would gain approx $650K in future value....maybe more.

When that sort of thinking gets integrated into all aspects of your thinking, you wind up cutting expenses massively as mindless consumption starts to look insanely expensive.
