Random thought: the reason gold only trades for $3,500/oz is because there’s sooooooo much of it, and they’re constantly finding more.

Is bitcoin cycle theory still alive? I get this question a lot. Here’s how I think about it!

The crazy part is that we probably still have 5-10 years to front-run nation states. DON’T waste it!

🚨 Harvard Economist Humbled 🚨 In 2018, Harvard’s Kenneth Rogoff said bitcoin was more likely to hit $100 than $100k. Fast forward: bitcoin didn’t crash—it ripped through $100k and has stayed there for 100+ days. Rogoff was off by three orders of magnitude. His excuse now? The world is just too dumb. 🤡 His argument rested on three pillars: 1️⃣ Mostly for criminals 2️⃣ Governments would regulate it away 3️⃣ No utility without illicit use All wrong. Governments didn’t ban bitcoin—they’re adopting it. Corporations, sovereigns, and millions of individuals hold it. Even Harvard just disclosed a $100M+ allocation to BlackRock’s ETF $IBIT. 🫠 Rogoff also called bitcoin’s role in the $20T underground economy a flaw. It’s actually proof of concept: it works when you need it most—remittances, broken currencies, censorship, sanctions. If it works there, it works everywhere. So why do Ivy League elites keep missing it? Their worldview depends on trusting the system. They can’t imagine it failing. But bitcoin doesn’t care about diplomas or credentials. Reality is the ultimate rebuttal. Even Harvard’s endowment has already voted—with $100M+. 👉 I dive deeper into this in FIRE BTC #44—covering why elites dismiss bitcoin, Jesse Myers’ “yuppie elite” framework, and why the underground economy is validation, not a bug. 📩 Read it & subscribe free here:

Reminder: if you’re spending dollars, you’re spending sats you could have saved. Spending itself is the real opportunity cost.

Hot take: bitcoiners who reach FI should live in luxury to give others a vision to strive for.

IBIT is BlackRock’s most profitable ETF ever, and Uncle Larry Fink LOVES it. BlackRock makes more money when bitcoin pumps, and you’re bearish, anon?!? image

Bitcoin is the most obvious thing on the planet. Perfectly fixed supply, networked, digital money vs unlimited, permissioned, debt-based fiat garbage. How tf are you still on 0.0% allocation??

There is way more risk in being under-allocated to bitcoin than there is in being over-allocated.

You should be happy with every day that goes by where the US government doesn’t buy bitcoin.
