when i talk about core devs i actually mean pr acceptors. iykyk.

if bitcoiners are gonna lobby for one thing and one thing only, it should be getting rid of capital gains tax. forget strategic reserve. focus on killing cap gains. think of a business running at 5% net profit and there are hundreds of thousands like that. after all the hustle, opex, stress, they barely clear 5% and still get taxed. then they discover bitcoin averaging 30% a year with tax-free gains. imagine what happens.

what are the implications of bitcoin averaging 30–35% growth every year? a lot of businesses will look at that and say, fuck it, we don’t even make 30% on our invested capital. let’s just buy and hold bitcoin.

human psychology is wild. many won’t buy btc at $100k. it’ll rip to $400k, crash back to $180k, and then they’ll call it cheap and buy. that’s exactly why btc will trade $10m in the next 15-20 yrs.

at this point, if you still think president trump and secretary bessent want a recession and asset prices down, you’re out of your mind. nasdaq and s&p 500 will make ath soon, but i’m especially giga bullish on bitcoin.

if we want wider bitcoin adoption, we gotta fix self custody. all you fucking nerds know what to do with your keys and coins but 99% of the world has no clue what you're talking about. current self custody is way too overwhelming for most people. there are attempts like bitkey to make it easier but it still doesn’t feel like self custody. yes they open sourced their tool but here’s the same problem again: does 99.9% of the world know how to read open source code to verify the code? who’s the target? if bitkey’s for devs cool, but that’s not how we grow bitcoin adoption. we need self custody with visualized verification. that’s the missing piece. i wanna verify and trust the code without reading the code.

want another prediction? 😂 zuck’s a genius and sneaky as hell. he knows bitcoin adoption is happening fast. he’ll be the first to plug bitcoin into all his platforms and he’ll capitalize on it harder than anyone ever will.

here’s another prediction: i don’t think any other company in the world will ever be able to acquire 500k+ btc again. that privilege is gone and saylor already claimed it. maybe a nation state like the us or china could pull it off but they’d have to move fast.

if i had to pick one bitcoin proxy, it’d be $mstr. they hold over 500k btc and while its true that it trades at a premium to its btc treasury, but here’s the thing. you can’t value $mstr just by the dollar amount of btc it holds. try acquiring 500k btc today and see what your weighted avg price looks like.

criminal market makers doing what they do best. keeping bitcoin down. if we want bitcoin to trade with natural market dynamics, one thing we can all do is buy the real thing and self custody it. or your bitcoin’s just ammo for market manipulation.

give me your money, so i can buy bitcoin. well how about you buy the damn thing yourself. i love that wall st. is warming up to bitcoin and all these btc treasury companies are popping up. but i’m still sticking with the hardcore old school way. buy the damn thing and hold it yourself.
