Cashed out some Solana today and fixed my brothers car

Had a small stash of Solana left. Bro drives a real old VW and the head gasket gave up on it. I was able to sell up, take back my investment, pay his parts and labor cost and still have a few bucks left over.

This is the essence of financial freedom. I could do this; he couldn't. I'm in crypto; he isn't. We both are married and have kids and have equal enough paying jobs.

The sad reality the vast majority of people are just getting by and can't respond to shocks like this without stepping into bank debt, pawn debt, credit card debt and end up even worse off.

He'll pay me back as he's a top guy but i've told him to use the money to start his own investments.

At times the crypto stories are too focussed on the FUD or the mega millions people have made and people lose sight of the middle ground where I and the majority of us on here are.

I love crypto.
