Being bearish right now is a talent I lack. The only reason I can even relate to bears is that Bitcoin has always had a seasonal rhythm, and it feels like hibernation should’ve started by now. However, everything else I see looks less like winter and more like the floodgates just haven’t opened yet. History doesn’t repeat, but human nature does. The market is confused, frozen between disbelief and euphoria, yet every day Bitcoin becomes more accessible, more liquid, more inevitable. That accessibility will feed the next great FOMO. The only thing stronger than fear is greed, and if you listen closely, you can already hear the distant rumble of the stampede. I don’t treat the crowd’s behavior as guidance. I’m not trying to end up where the crowd ends up. I stack Bitcoin until I can sleep well at night; most people sell for that same reason. We aren’t the same. I’ve never seen a dip; only a discount. Every time I earn, I convert a good portion into Bitcoin to protect the fruits of my labor. Correlation is often nothing more than synchronized emotion: timing, liquidity, and herd mentality masquerading as logic. Human nature craves patterns, so we invent causation to comfort ourselves…but the truth is, much of what moves markets is a chain reaction of nothingburgers. If you can’t harness others’ fear, how do you ever grow stronger? image

Leave leverage to housing; using it for bitcoin is risky business imo. Everything is bought by me for me so no borrowed funds or third party risks. I will happily take these discounted sats as long as they are being offered. It’s patience over panic. DCA into spot BTC and hodl in self custody. No matter what happens your stack is intact. I’m not selling my bitcoin for gold, and sadly I don’t have gold to sell for bitcoin. image

The more bitcoin’s price dips the greater my incentive to be productive gets. Sentiment be damned I don’t trust Polymarket’s opinion on btc, 52% odds of going below 100k this month? You can stay scared, but I’ll stick to stacking. Very interested in how Grant Cardone balances btc and re. There’s no second best, but in a world where there’s no bitcoin or I somehow have enough bitcoin the only other thing I’d want is Real Estate. Other than that everything seems extremely mild, boy is boredom fun. image

Not much has changed for me, still stacking sats and skills. Dollar price is volatile but not very important I want more sats and Bitcoin provides opportunities with it’s volatility. More Bitcoin and no leverage never hurt anyone. Strictly Bitcoin. I’m not sure I can make that hurdle, I’ve tried by betting on others, now the only way I’d even think of doing it is betting on myself and the value I can provide. Until I hatch my bitcoin goose I’ll have to stay convicted and appreciate these discounted sats while they last, but it’s really a pleasure not a task. image

Is a #Bitcoin standard with meme coins still a #BTC standard? I still don’t get buying a stock so they will buy more #bitcoin; I like bitcoin because I cut out the middle men with it. I get if you have money trapped in the system and can’t get #btc exposure otherwise. It takes almost $13 million dollars for a company to be a top 100 corporate bitcoin holder…it sounds incredibly early to me but I see it as reason to stack sats not any particular stock. image

I remember being hyper bullish at $16k, we’ve dropped $16k to $110k and the weak hands are starting to get clammy. I’m laughing my way to cold storage. My secret is I’m always buying cheap sats. My secret is price and performance is almost irrelevant; bitcoin’s best days are ahead, it’s had a concentrated impact so far but it’s broadening: it might not give a hundred people a 10,000,000% return but it could give 10 million people a 100% return and I’d consider the latter better performance than the prior. I own 0 gold and a majority of goldbugs own gold they can’t hold. Sounds like fiat to me. Gold loves borders and trade restrictions, Bitcoin erases them. image

Trump hit altcoiners where it hurt multiple times and ended up with close to a billy in #Bitcoin. Some may call it cruel and self serving, but I’d prefer it to be based. Nothing like the smell of no second best in the morning. I have no evidence that Trump directly rugged an alt to buy more #BTC, in fact I can tell you that’s not the case from what I know. Correlation isn’t causation, but sometimes the stars align. image

The government is shut down…WHY ARE THERE STILL INSIDERS?! Just joking, I do find it funny how unphased I am with #Bitcoin drama along with the bimbo crypto trying to hold on to BTC’s coat tails in its wake. Glad that’s not me, thanks Satoshi. image

What flavor Bitcoin are you rocking Corn v30.0 or Nuts v29.2? My smooth brain is too indecisive and paranoid to pick a preference. image

Was hitting an ATH before the halving an anomaly, or a sign that traditional timing models are becoming less reliable? Maybe it’s just a wait and see moment, to find out how many of our old assumptions need to be rethought. It’s not only about how much #Bitcoin improves, but how much worse it didn’t get compared to what you price it in. #BTC doesn’t have a Fed that can be pressured to abandon its targets just to steal from the poor and reward the wealthy. If inflation starts ripping again, does a bear market even make sense anymore? I’m still convinced that every pattern we think we know will eventually become an outlier dataset. #Bitcoin isn’t just different: it’s unrecognizable compared to even younger versions of itself. image

It feels like the #Bitcoin ETFs just launched, yet they already hold around ₿1.33 million (~$166B); roughly 6.4% of total supply…and somehow, it still feels like the warm up phase. They’re about to apply face melting pressure on diamond hands; many will crack under the heat. ETFs are just the bridge between TradFi and Bitcoin. They’re not the destination, only the on ramp, and when in kind redemptions become the norm, the traffic across that bridge will only accelerate. image

Bitcoin’s evolution over the past 16 years is like watching a lemonade stand scale into a nuclear reactor: with precision, purpose, and unstoppable momentum. When finite supply collides with infinite fiat, $1 million isn’t the destination…it’s just a checkpoint. image

Only the strong endure, and #Bitcoin is the apex collaborator. It was never designed as a solo act, but as the missing piece that completes the puzzle. Its base layer exists to be built upon, a neutral foundation for limitless innovation. I hold no speculation, no skepticism. #BTC was never my savior, but it is my relentless sidekick: full of potential, pushing me forward, and together we cultivate hope. image

#Bitcoin is the risk-on safe haven: the first true hybrid asset. We weren’t meant to tamper with His genetics; whenever man tries to rewrite nature, the result is corruption. #BTC is different: it’s not a distortion of creation but an extension of it, a tool that helps us better appreciate what’s already perfect. Corrupted assets and societies thrive by pulling your attention away from what really matters. Their motive is distraction; the way through is piercing the veil and seeing clearly again. The more #Bitcoin I stack, the more I value life itself, and the less materialism holds over me. Price has ceased to sway my conviction. Against fiat erosion, #BTC’s potential is infinite. I’ve got decades before I even consider easing off, and each cycle of stacking; from feeling pointless to finding renewed purpose; only reinforces the same truth: keep running, then store the surplus. image

Contrary to popular ignorance, #Bitcoin isn’t the go-to currency for organized crime. If it isn’t dollars, it’s usually stablecoins: faster, cheaper, and easier to launder. In fact, criminals are 3x more likely to use stablecoins than Bitcoin, though most still prefer traditional non-crypto methods. Bitcoin never promised me anything except that it would never shut down…even if my government does. I’m not worried about collapse; I’m only watching liquidity. Onchain scrutiny makes it nearly impossible to use Bitcoin illicitly today, and that scrutiny will only intensify. Parking a billion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin in one spot isn’t bold; it’s bad opsec. And honestly, I couldn’t steal that much Bitcoin and still sleep at night. That takes a different kind of talent (or lack of conscience). If such hoards were ever dumped, it’d mean cheap sats for everyone: a dream that might already be behind us. As Bitcoin climbs, so do the incentives to take it. One can only hope that being a pleb never becomes a crime. image
