Have you ever taken the time to calculate what you’re paying in spread fees and slippage to convert your paycheque to bitcoin just to end up going back to Fiat to pay bills? I have precisely why I don’t do it. It’s a guaranteed way to lose sats.

So what is a guaranteed way to loose sats? Staying in fiat or going back to fiat?
Keep enough Fiat to pay all your fee out bills expected, and unexpected
*fiat bills
But did you adjust for the opportunity cost of not being in bitcoin?
Get paid at 90k
Pay bills at 94k🤘
Get paid at 90k
Pay bills at 84k😢
“May the odds be ever in your favor”😀
What’s the opportunity cost of having less sats?
Yes, plus fees plus spread plus slippage
Buying them when they are more expensive
You’re not grasping what I’m saying do the calculations and come back to me
All I'm going to say is because the trick is not to pay your bills Monthly, always try to pay your bills 3 months in advance or every 6 months. That's how we do it.
Spread makes it a losing game
Get paid at $90K
Buy Price $91K
Market price $90K
Sell price $89K
Pay bill at $94K
Buy price $95k
Market price $94K
Sell price $93K
So you market moved up 90-94 but you paid 91 and sold 93.
Losing half to spread.
Now get paid at market 90 and pay bill at market 84:
Buy 91
Sell 83
Market moves down 6k from 90-84 buy you lost 8k from 91-83
This doesn’t account for any extra fees from exchanges or miner fees. Even if spreads are tighter you can see how this is a losing game, exchange is making money on volume and spreads.
