The self-stated top priorities for modern central banks: • Achieving and maintaining low, stable inflation • Supporting full employment and economic growth • Preserving financial stability How are they doing do we think? Price stability out the window in my book 😅

Interesting how hard Gold and Silver have sold off Fiat pricing of assets is amazingly volatile

Confession I’ve published a podcast every Friday for a while now And today I’ve not been able to Got delayed Hectic week in the Woodhouse House Tomorrow I’ll make time for it 🙏🏻

Not gonna lie The bearish vibes today have sunk their claws in - in the shower - at the coffee machine - right now The emotions are so interesting to witness. “I’ve totally fucked up, this Bitcoin thing is going to go so badly, everyone was right” type thoughts cross my mind Did I allocate correctly? What if I am wrong? What is going to happen? Fascinating In spite of many years down the rabbit hole riding this crazy thing that is Bitcoin So here’s a note to recognise To observe I witness this emotion, this feeling, this moment It’s dark It’s cold It’s sad And you know what? It might get a whole lot worse Mid 70s - maybe Mid 60s - maybe Mid 50s - maybe Time will tell… So equally it’s important to come back to: “what’s the worst that can happen?” And when I ask myself that, I know that it’s just fear, it’s silly, it’s irrational, my worst fears, they’re extremely unlikely So in lies the market People Humans don’t alway make sense. They don’t have to. And markets reflect that So back to the fundamentals. Are more people adopting? Yes. Are more people building? Yes. Are central banks going to print more money? Yes. Are property rights going to continue to be eroded? Yes. Is the digitalisation trend intact? Yes. Is the discovery of digital scarcity a once in a generation event? Yes. So as I said this morning. Get outside and touch grass. Good reminder to do that myself HODL friends 🙏🏻

Good reminder day: - price - value They’re two different things Whilst the headlines will be “bear market”, “Schiff is right”, “whales are screwing us”, “covered call yield players are the problem”, “I can’t pay for a coffee with it so it must be useless” There is an army of ethical, committed, and principled pioneers, rallying to the cry of “rules without rulers”, who buy Bitcoin regardless of the price Indeed for many of the market players, the lower the price = the better the value, so on waking up today they’re actually happy, buying more, and feeling blessed Bitcoin obsoleted central banks. They were never going to just float off after 100 years of monetary dominance It will get harder But see the value, and the price becomes less relevant If only I had some dry powder… 💪🏻

GM Ooft Bearish vibes today Go outside and touch grass 🙏🏻
