Have also noticed some people feel they must *wait* until they can stack a significant amount of BTC, such as a whole coin, rather than simply stack small amounts whenever they are able to. This is a variation of unit bias.

This describes Andreas Antonopoulos. Despite dedicating his life since 2012 to educating others about Bitcoin, he held very little BTC himself until 2017, when Bitcoiners discovered this and donated over 100 BTC to his wallet in appreciation of his contributions.

Why didn’t he stack more sats early on? It seems to stem from a mix of excess humility and limited income, as he chose to focus on public education rather than personal savings.

The remedy for this is to take Robert Kiyosaki’s advice: Pay yourself first. Rather than waiting to cover every bill and tax before saving, set aside something for your future self first. It’s a subtle mindset shift, but powerful.
