Winning in a bear market is EASY.
Every Bitcoiner will tell you to buy more bitcoin.
But too few tell you not to sell.
Just DON'T SELL and you will be just fine.
People act like Strategy selling or buying bitcoin alone determines if the bitcoin price goes up or down.
But there are countless factors affecting the bitcoin price.
Don't fall for these overly simplified explanations.
Fiat inflation is running at a brutal ~7%.
But somehow, the people benefiting from the system will tell you this is good for you.
Will you believe them?
Or will you opt out for sub-1% inflation instead?
We have gotten used to ownership implying control.
In stocks, the largest shareholder has the most voting power. The pleb is at the mercy of the giant.
But Bitcoin is different.
Holding 10,000 BTC doesn't give you more control over the protocol than the 0.01 BTC pleb.
Flowers for doubters.
It's 2045. You bring flowers to your one Bitcoin skeptic friend, out of compassion.
He keeps repeating "Bitcoin isn't backed by anything", even though the price of 1 BTC is now well over 10M USD.
You bought the bouquet for 500 sats.
“Can I pay with bitcoin?”
This question is essential for bitcoin adoption as a medium of exchange.
But it is not asked nearly often enough.
When did you last ask to pay with bitcoin?
Self-custody bitcoin gives you:
+ Tradable 24/7
+ Permissionless
+ Seizure-resistant
+ Verifiable
+ No counterparty risk
+ Globally portable
ETFs and treasury companies give you price exposure.
But they do not give you Bitcoin.
