Making a large re-allocation into Bitcoin as an investor, opting out of tradfi assets like equities, bonds, and real estate, is actually a move from an investor to a saver

“Make saving great again” is a meme that catches it well

But the strange thing then is that you’re in a multi-year trade, in which you’ve made a bet against the status quo

You can draw down, or DCA out of the position if you choose, like a large economic battery at your fingertips

But it requires you to do nothing

- No reporting

- No customer checks

- No board meetings

Literally do nothing

This is the trade

- You can be anywhere

- You can do anything

- You can actually relax

Maybe you’re in the mountains, on a beach, in a desert, parenting, working out, partying, shopping, reading, playing, resting

Literally whatever you choose to do with your time, you’re in the trade

Critically, it’s simple, but not easy

Arguably, HODLing is very hard, all the shiny objects, the altcoins, the AI stocks, the leverage, the Bitcoin Treasury Cos, the trading bot, all of it is trying to coax you out of “the trade”

In many years to come, saying “I just bought Bitcoin and held” will be a thing of legend, but also a thing that seemed obvious

But it wasn’t obvious

Indeed, as I was in the coffee shop today, it struck me, literally no-one here has adopted Bitcoin in a meaningful way, 50% of net assets eg, they’re all on a fiat standard still. Yes there are a few Bitcoiners around, but most would lump it into “crypto”, or worse, say “I don’t buy what I don’t understand”

What an extraordinary time to be involved, to witness, to be

Going long Bitcoin IS the trade of a lifetime

Ignore it at your peril

Making saving great again is the trade

HODL

Really good post about hodling. The Action bias is indeed your strongest enemy.

Do you know the new Book by Fred Krueger „Bitcoin 1M“? That has a whole chapter about hodling menatilty too.

I’ll have a read

Thanks for sharing!

I’m totally agreeing with you. I have tried trading on stocks and crypto. The result is poor and the cost is my time, and I’m old enough to understand that time is the most precious resource we have.

"Simple but not easy" 🎯

You've essentially described the real basis for capitalism.

Individuals and societies save up enough money and invest in ventures with their savings, not primarily debt.

‘Thats too simple’, ‘my financial guy has a system’, ‘too risky’.

Meanwhile, my only regret is I didn’t get started early than 2020.

Making men great again is the trade.

You’re a child molester. People will learn the truth about you eventually.
