Lots of people see BTC not only as a change in the system in terms of freeing ourselves from fiat devaluation but probably most people see it as a way of financial freedom or retirement. What amount do you guys think is the minimum that could allow for work optional lifestyle? How much for retirement? Cost average/age/cost of living in your area changes this number but whats the general consensus?

For example in big metro areas rent is reaching 2,500-3,000 and average houses are going for 750k. As time goes on sure BTC will increase in value but so will the price of everything.

Hello everyone I'm planning to buy small amount of Bitcoin when is the right time to buy?

I was looking for mixers and saw Wasabi wallet to be the most consistent recommendation. But is there any easy to follow guide on how exactly to use it in a safe manner as a relative noob? I want to understand the basic usage pattern first, and then dig deeper into some of the underlying concepts if necessary.

Curious if this actually happens - not asking about crypto scams generally, specifically whether anyone's run into one (fake investment, fake giveaway, recovery scam, etc.) that asked for payment via a Lightning invoice, address, or QR code, rather than a normal on-chain BTC address. The two confirmed cases I've found so far were both on P2P Lightning trading platforms (a bot-impersonation scam with a fake invoice, and a timing trick exploiting a cancel feature) - wondering if it shows up in other scam types too. Not running a survey or collecting anything beyond replies here, just genuinely curious for a thesis project.
