I’ve got to the stage where I think the biggest threat to my Bitcoin is actually me

Trying out alternative investment strategies vs HODL in self-custody

- Leverage plus trade

- Sell plus BTC treasury co equity

- Angel invest in startups

One too easily glosses over counter-party risk, tax risk, liquidation risk

Why is it so hard to just HODL and chill?

Just call it rebalancing 😎

I deleted the price from my iPhone Home Screen yesterday. I’m likely to delete X shortly.

It’s not healthy, just stack and chill.

The issue is it’s too liquid, nobody monitors the price swings on their property like this.

The hardest discipline is often restraint..... sitting tight while evrything else tempts you into risk. In the end, HODL is the chill strategy: low time preference, zero counterparty risk, maximum sovereignty...🫢🌬️🧑

Leverage providers β€œtempt into risk”

Can you really justify the counter party risk of not getting your bitcoin back?

For a few percentage points additional yield

Yet to see a convincing player

Nahh.. never taking such risk at all.. πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ«‚πŸ«‚....

Just stack sats bruh

The free market is ruthless with it's decisions.

Passive action (ie inaction) is one the hardest things you'll ever not do.

Being early can feel a lot like being wrong.

Perhaps doing nothing will correct some of your perceived mistakes?

Remember to breath.

Yeah. Reminds of the idea: go in the direction that feels hard. If inaction is the hardest, that’s the route. In the work, the path and benefits become clear

Probably because you enjoy being involved, but HODL means hands off and letting it do it's own thing.

So, maybe the way to be able to do that is by getting busy with something else where personal involvement is preferable. πŸ€” then there may not be enough time to also mess around with the bitcoin that you want to HODL.

I respect the fact you're not afraid to embarrass yourself publicly.
