Regarding the government shutdown, republicans are saying the democrats want to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants which is straight fiction. Meanwhile the democrats are saying the republicans are cancelling Obamacare - also not true. They’re just letting a Covid-era tax credit expire on the exact terms that democrats wrote into it. Both sides are lying. Both are engaged in performative BS at the expense of all Americans.

Honestly, some bitcoiners can be so fickle. 10k down and “everything is lost.”10k up and “we’re gonna win!” Keeps it all very entertaining. The bull run will never be over if you look out far enough.

Nothing is permanent.

Bitcoin at $109K doesn’t worry me. Bitcoin at $99K wouldn’t worry me. Bitcoin at $59K wouldn’t worry me. I bought the top in 2021, rode it all the way down to $17K, where I bought more. I kept buying all the way up to where we are now. The more I learn, the more convicted I get. Bitcoin is the thing I am most optimistic about. Sorry, I know there’s already lots of posts like this but I don’t actually post enough about Bitcoin. If you’re fudding dips to $109, you should: 1. stop trading in and out of bitcoin 2. extend your time horizon
