<prompt> Human: Good afternoon everyone! Background: Im in Brazil, I earn BRL 1,7k after tax per month. My default expenditures per month are all in BRL 0,15k in electric bill, 0,19 in internet bill, 0,06 in cellphone bill. Food is provided by company 0,43k allowance, monthly, transport to and from work also provided by company. I have no other debt and I have a Nubank credit card with 0,45k limit. Pretty low numbers, as is tradition in brazillian economy. Me, my wife and my son 8 months old are on our way to have dual european citizenship. We intend to go to europe some date in 2019, with a total of 2 to 4 weeks of time spent abroad. We intend to do this to tourism through some countries as we try to assess where we would like to live we intend to leave Brazil. We have no savings as of now. We have about 3k4k stockpiled in our house. As every investment I can make in Brazil will have a tax toll of between 8 to 35 depends on the investment I thought about spending a bit of money every month throughout 2018 to buy bitcoins and sellingcashing out the month we intend to travel. Would that be possible? Worth? Is it even sane to use bitcoin that way? For information sake, we would spend something around BRL 15k on plane tickets alone to fly from Brazil to the cheapest destination in europe parting from our city that would be Madrid. Im not even accounting yet for passport fees, luggage fees and the money we would spend during the trip. Any tips you guys can give me would be marvelous. Thanks!  <response>: If you want to gamble on bitcoin, thats up to you.If you want to invest in bitcoin, you need to figure out how much its actually worth. I would suggest reading up on macroeconomics, with a particular focus on forex trading. It would also be helpful to develop a background in computer science, so you can better understand some of the challenges currently facing the network and how they could potentially be addressed.If you want to stash money in bitcoin because you think it will help you evade your local investment taxes, this sub cannot offer any advice on that.
