28-year-old netizen wants to “set aside $2,500 a month to buy Bitcoin” ! A 60-year-old uncle shows up to lend his support: “I’ve been holding 7 BTC to leave to my grandson”

A 28-year-old Reddit user posted that he wants to invest $2,500 per month in Bitcoin while he’s still young, for 5 to 6 years. He didn’t expect a nearly 60-year-old uncle to show up in the comments. The man already has 7.08 BTC and plans to HODL until 2036, sparking a cross-generational Bitcoin conversation.

On Reddit, the largest online forum in the United States, a post appeared from a young person who wants to save Bitcoin. He said he’s 28, young enough to keep saving Bitcoin, his job is stable, and he has no mortgage and no kids. He feels this might be “the last chance in life to place a bold bet.”

His plan is simple: invest $2,500 per month (equivalent to about 80,000 New Taiwan dollars) to buy Bitcoin, and put it all into a cold wallet. That’s it—stick with it for 5 to 6 years. He’s upfront about the contradiction in his mind:

Part of me thinks I’m crazy, but the other part is afraid I’ll miss the opportunity and regret it later.

This is what people call DCA—Dollar Cost Averaging—an investment approach where you keep buying at regular intervals to average out your cost.

Nearly 60-year-old uncle weighs in

In the thread, a very special reply appeared—he said bluntly that he’s about 60 years old.

This uncle said his stocks already total $1.5 million (wow, he’s pretty well off). Over the past 5 years, he also diversified his asset allocation into Bitcoin. He has currently accumulated 7.08 BTC. His goal is to hold on all the way until 2036, unless the coin’s price falls below $60,000—at which point he’ll consider adding more.

Another 60-year-old uncle also showed up, saying he’s continuing to buy with the same heavy allocation.

Someone commented below, replying: “Your grandkids have the coolest grampa.” (“Your grandkids have the coolest grampa.”)

Other community comments all have their own styles.

I always recommend diversifying investments: 50% allocated to Bitcoin, and the other 50% also allocated to Bitcoin.

Someone else said they can’t believe the original poster’s “extra money” of $2,500 per month, commenting, “Are you a doctor?” Then someone else took another shot: “No mortgage, no kids—should be living at your parents’ house and not paying rent, right?”

But still, some people backed the idea: “Do it—at 35, you’ll thank yourself.” This sparked another young person to share their experience: they’ve been using a DCA strategy to buy $5,000 per month for a full 4 years.

What’s interesting about this discussion isn’t how much money people are buying. The 28-year-old is asking, “Is this too bold?” and the nearly 60-year-old Bitcoin investor shows up to answer, “I’ve already been doing this.” For those who have confidence in Bitcoin, DCA really is a simple approach that works well.
