Soft motherfuckers make a few bucks during the bull, get comfortable, and turn into scared bitches at the first sign of bear prints in the mud. These are the same soft motherfuckers that said you got lucky. The ones who wish they got in earlier. Those pussies wouldn't have survived past bear markets. They would have sold the bottom and cried about it for the rest of their lives. Can you imagine them stacking and holding for many months after losing 60-80% of their net worth? There isn't enough Tylenol in the world for them to play autism catch up with the real ones who held purely on principle. "Yeah but it's different this time around." You're right. This time you have more knowledge, more support, and more security. You have no excuses. Back then we had a bunch of retards on Reddit, Andreas Antonopoulos, and a whole lotta copium. Some people are allergic to success. Others take it. Choose wisely.

Nigger pls, i sold my house and bought in 2021 at 64k. Back in the day you got thousand and hundreds of % gains and could become rich on pocket change. Now we get 5% CAGR returns on the same volatility. Fuck off nigger faggot

Yeah I am the same bearish as you
I feel exhausted reading the post. Anger. ...which isn't necessarily a bad thing, anger is a very important emotion.
People don’t understand that #Bitcoin is the biggest hedge on fiat currency in all of Human history. Not HODLing is a sign of complete lack of understanding and long term vision.

Imagine sticking up for these old fags who live the high life now that you drank their bullshit bought their bags. Only to berate you and call you soft mother fuckers. Greeks are truly niggers of the med
Hey Mandrik. First time, long time. It feels more like Bitcoin Twitter, in a good way, when you're around 🫂
He does have a point though. In inflation adjusted terms he is only just breaking even. That is unless he DCAd the entire amount. It requires a restraint best automated in that case. I would love 500k that I could DCA 1K per day. In tight monetary conditions and unless CGT is eliminated. Real estate has outperformed In his particular case. Agree, in 10 years your perspective will be different.

That only matters if you’re selling right now. You bought near a top, and you’re comparing to right now in a sizeable drawdown from a grind year in a terrible macro backdrop.. Anyone who buys near a cycle top has to wait. But at least the hype got them on the train, because they do reap the rewards. People who bought like you but in 2017 had to wait 3 years just to “break even”. But now they’re happy af that they bought. It’s the same for every hodler. Those massive gains you fomo on only apply to - the few that timed it from sheer luck (don’t ignore how big those downsides were and how many got wiped out) - or the many that raised their time preference and just kept holding through the downtime to the next leg up A loss only occurs when you sell. So just don’t sell and don’t worry. Your time will come and you’ll be thankful you didn’t let emotions shake you out of the market. Raise your time preference, don’t even worry about the price. Soon you’ll have first cyclers accusing you of having it too easy the next time around.
Congrats! You clung to your bags through a bear market! Whoopty fucking doo! You and the other ~500,000 plebs globally used the #retardmaxx strategy to hold out! That doesn’t make you a prophet brah! Screaming “weak hands” at anyone who thinks for themselves is just desperation disguised as courage. You do realise that we are 1,473 days since the last cycles ATH and we are up 20% Bro - that is FUCKING TRASH! “1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin” COPE! “Gradually then suddenly” COPE! “I’m here for the freedom!” COPE! If your entire identity hinges on mocking others for navigating the empty promises of OG Bitcoiners, you’re not a hardened Bitcoiner, you’re just another clown worshipping volatility instead of truth. Stay humble and stack sats for 12 years! 🧡
I think it's high time to go beyond morals of any kind. But morals and comparing is what this rant here is clearly all about. Which is a pity because nobody needs that type of maximalism. Max Keiser is funny cause he doesn't take himself overly seriously. But this ... oh dear.

Absolutely 👍 there’s also no point comparing to previous highs, if you’re not going to compare to previous lows. Let alone that there’s so so so much more support to hold your hand through it these days.

😅 I can’t tell if you’re shit stirring or if you think cherry picked hindsight is useful. His “gold outcome” didn’t outperform his Bitcoin unless he actually sells the dip. Just like your house doesn’t get smaller when the market dips - it’s just volatility. What outperformed Bitcoin was a bad entry, not gold itself. If he bought BTC: - 1 year earlier - 1 year later - Or on literally any DCA schedule - with any cash buffer - with any kind of risk management …his outcome would be dramatically better than gold. The problem isn’t Bitcoin. The problem is - trading in your house - To buy near the exact top - with a short time horizon - without a plan for volatility Gold cant save you from a move like that — it just hides it by being slow And for the fella who bought at 61k — you’re not screwed. Its gonna be fine. You only lock in the loss if you sell. Every past cycle shows that the worst entries eventually turn into strong positions, as long as you give bitcoin a long enough runway. Even 2017 ATH buyers (who had worse timing and worse drawdown than you) ended up about 3.5 x up just by holding into the next full cycle. Your job now isn’t timing — it’s patience. Stay solvent, zoom out, and don’t let a bad entry turn into a bad exit.
The wider point is this. Investing in one thing is dumb. If someone bought gold exactly one year ago and sold their gold today and bought bitcoin then they'd have a lot more bitcoin than if the bought bitcoin one year ago. Not so brain-blowing really. Time your bets. People here have this mentality that bitcoin is somehow sacred, and that you need to buy it and hold it forever for weird holy reasons of some kind, relating to the future of humankind and something else that demands a classical music interlude. Bitcoin is passed puberty now. If you bought pre-puberty Bitcoin, good on you, you enjoyed the growth spurt. Now it's just another store of value, in a never-ending tussle with gold and lots of other things and it'll have good days and bad days—but there is no "next level" where it somehow transcends this never-ending tussle.

Yeah agree on timing and going all in being high risk. But what do you mean pre and post puberty? I’ve heard people say that kind of thing about it for 12 years..
Just means time of crazy growth is over. Bitcoin is now a known quantity among every group with the money to buy it (and thus affect it's relative value), including now institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds and the like. This 'becoming of a known quantity' has happened over the past three years. Other words, most of the human brains that control enough money to affect Bitcoin's value have formed hardened opinions about where it can go. Money isn't real, don't forget. The operating system for all money is the human brain, and specifically the human imagination. Bitcoin, the dollar, USDT, Sol, these are all just apps that runs on that same OS.
