FUCK IT WE ARE STREAMING AGAIN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDpY2UD2nkY

just had two of my good bros reach out to me independently asking about bitcoin's price action... both were quick to clarify that they were buying (and have been buying)... they look at this bitcoin dip as an opportunity. it's an awesome feeling when people you care about actually listen to you. i've known these guys since college (we are fraternity brothers). they are both a couple years older then me and work extremely solid jobs at big publicly traded tradfi companies. both are very intelligent guys and given their business/finance backgrounds, they were understandably a bit hesitant at first to listen to me when it came to money. after all, i'm just an engineer. they're also on opposite sides of the political aisle from one another, but what they both share is an open mind and a curious nature. that's all it takes. it's not easy bringing people over to the orange side and you can't save everyone, but it's worth it when your friends/family "get it." it won't (usually) happen the first time or the second time or the 10th time you talk to them about it, but when they are ready they will come to you with questions, and you should be ready to give answers. now, they both (occasionally) even listen to nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpq0qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezse4u840 that's the biggest things i've realized when it comes to getting friends/family to save in bitcoin: the idea of "orange pilling" doesn't actually make sense the way it's usually talked about. you cannot *make* someone take the orange pill. you can give it to them, but they must take it for themselves when they are ready. the best thing you can do is make it known that you are saving in bitcoin, and then just live your best life. people will naturally be curious and eventually, when they're ready, come back to you to go deeper. i've gotten to the point where i know it's useless to try and evangelize *everyone*, but i still want to make sure the people i care about most are saving in bitcoin, because i know what it will do for them and their families in the years to come. so i make it a point to never be the first one to bring up bitcoin when i'm with friends or family. i'm happy to talk about bitcoin when someone else brings it up, but i dont try to shove it down people's throats anymore. it's made a huge difference. anyway, this is all to say that i think it's important to try and nudge the people you love in the right direction. they may not budge, but at least you will have tried. eventually, they'll come back with questions because, well, we're right.

okay guys i'm sorry for not live streaming last night... it's clearly why the bitcoin price is dumping today. i will make up for it by live streaming tonight.

bitcoin will go just low enough to convince you it really is dead this time... just low enough to convince you to sell and "cut your losses." just low enough where all the tourists and charlatans will rage quit in disgrace... then it will melt your fucking face off.

I am buying bitcoin.

Fwiw I have the *opposite* sentiment and have automatically DCA’d bitcoin twice per hour every fucking day of the year. I’m not “rotating out of Bitcoin” [selling] like Mechanic. I am buying. What the fuck would I “rotate” into? I save in bitcoin for my family with all the fiat I can earn, and earn bitcoin directly by getting paid in sats whenever I can. I USE Bitcoin as MONEY every single day. I use it as a store value, a medium of exchange, and my unit of account. I send and receive on-chain transactions. I also use lightning every single day on Nostr, spend bitcoin at physical merchants whenever I have the opportunity, and buy bitcoin art and bitcoin products online using bitcoin. Whenever I spend bitcoin, I buy more. Do whatever you want. Run whatever node implementation you want. I do not care what you do. But realize that if you listen to defeatists like Mechanic, you will become a defeatist yourself. Rage quit season is nigh. Rage quitters end up with less bitcoin.
