This steady slow grind upward of the bitcoin price feels like an attempted controlled demolition of the current financial system.

Buyers have shifted from people like me YOLOing in after a "sick podcast" to institutional and geopolitical actors using complex buying strategies designed to move the price as little as possible.

This year is an inflection point for bitcoin. The secret seems to be out in the circles of power. Some of them are telling us, but most are keeping it close to the vest so they can accumulate as much as possible.

If you're telling us about your established position, it means that you're ready for the price to pump. The powers that really control things don't seem to be there yet. When they get there, it will be loud, though who knows when that comes.

The signals are clear if you're watching. Seemingly everyone is lining themselves up to be on the Bitcoin Bandwagon and the Trump admin knows that it's only way out is up. The printers are coming.

It feels like the calm before the storm. If you see it, its obvious, but most people are still looking the other direction.

My main hesitation is that this inflection point feels TOO obvious. How could it be this clear? What am I missing? Can You Take Me Higher?

At what point do their complex buying strategies bump up against the immovable object of absolute scarcity? The fiat system both seems more fragile than those in it perceive, but more resilient than Bitcoiners expect.

It really does feel like something is about to happen though.

I’m a little nervous too.

Is it really this obvious?

Yes. It is. I feel an unsettling anticipation as I cant stack enough fast enough.

I’ve learned a lot about myself coming to this space over the last few years.

Same. Biggest lesson is verify don't trust.

If you can apply that. You're gonna make it

Powerful post. Remain vigilant - be aware and present. I agree though... Things feel like they are moving in big ways. The times, they are changing. Also... "To a place with golden streets!"

But also, maybe 60k ain't so far down

Sure isn't! But I'll happily buy a crap load more at 60k again. Thanks for the zap bro

Gradually then suddenly?

Suddenly intensifies?

Be ready for more shakeout events (dca)

But also be ready for the 🚀 (go heavy, go early)

LFG

Whatever adoptions happen aren’t as important until plebs start the fomo. Once this happens is when the current financial system starts to fail in real time. I’m happy with number go up but unfortunately it will be at the cost of normies coming in to a price that 1 BTC equals 1 BTC. For them, .01 BTC will be the new 1 bitcoin. Everyone gets the price they deserve. Especially when a ribeye doubles in price.

The very best that can be done for the system that we've all lived in for all our lives is for the people who hold the controls to do a slow planned demolition all along. That is the most optimal scenario for the upside down system that we live in.

The very existence of a protocol that flips the entire current system on its head or really back on its feet, We'll put rocket boosters on the demolition of a system that can only speed up in its demise in the first place.

So, I think your assessment that it feels like something is about to happen is spot on. It already is. It did, and it will.

It is TOO obvious for you as you study the shit. You sometimes question yourself in situations like this, then you realize you learned a lot actually. It is a good sign to suspect yourself.

Soooo send it?

there is the panic when you realize the titanic is going to sink.

then there is the panic when you realize there are only so many life boats.

the people trying to use the opportunity to the arbitrage the difference between panics, dont want to think the ship will actually go down cause they are in the green.

everyone, myself included, have no comprehension of what “suddenly” means.

rothschilds essentially take over the bank of england in a single day of trading. you know it happens after it happened

Very interesting reflection. We are between a rock and a hard place. Institutional mass adoption is coming. But a bear market is also coming. So I think that those on duty know and will wait for the bear market to definitively enter bitcoin and the real benefits will be seen in the next bullish cycle. Let's see 🤷‍♂️😉

I feel it too. I fear for my family who ignore Bitcoin and instead are going deeper in debt.

It’s like having someone show you a gnarly wound.

Then you say “Here, let’s go clean that up.”

And they instead respond “No, that’s bullshit.” As they rub fecal matter into it instead.

I’m sure there is a picture for a moment like this, can I ask a question? can you take me

👀👀👀

I've heard this for years now and I'll believe it when I see it. My feeling is that the powers that really control things would rather destroy the entire world than allow a small segment of the population (peasants not in the club) to become wealthy.

It’s strange right? Retail FOMO took us to $69 and arguably would have gone higher if not for the China ban and FTX. ETF’s and the Trump pump took us to $100. Now with the biggest institutions in the world starting to take it seriously we just grind sideways? The speed bumps are gone, the track is sticky and the engines are warmed. It feels like what is next should start soon but still we grind.

Well said

I'll also add, what you describe was the feeling everyone had last cycle...remember what happened last cycle?

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but here but the psychopaths who really control things will do everything in their power to keep the peasants poor and in fear. Prep your mind for the worst case scenario

My thoughts exactly

It’s not that it is too obvious. It is only obvious to the people on the Bitcoin side of the globe. We are also living with the fiat colony and they are blind to us. It is rather simple. The people saving their output into Bitcoin will prosper while the fiat savers will continue to fall behind in all aspects. (The basic principal explained in a video Demystifying why we all need Bitcoin. You need to watch this! https://youtu.be/YtFOxNbmD38)

Macro uncertainties they said

I think you're right.

I think there's a lot of money waiting for a cheaper price, anticipating another broad deleveraging event.

The deleveraging is likely but the monetary inflation is inevitable. I'd say they (precoiners) are between the rock & the hard place. We just need to be patient.

I'm really interested in seeing how Bitcoin handles the deleveraging. How exposed are Bitcoiners right now?

Hodlrs don't seem exposed at all, but how much risk is appropriate?

I know a pleb that walks around with a pre signed transaction on his phone ready to top up the collateral on his loan at any time.

I also don't think pleb hodlers are too exposed yet. The appropriate risk question is very subjective. We're all playing the FAFO game in a way.

Bitcoin is a hell of a journey. I don't think I would have even asked myself these questions without it.

We are exactly on target. 🎯

> At what point do their complex buying strategies bump up against the immovable object of absolute scarcity?

the talking carrot chart guy has one that maps 'available supply' and iirc that chart was increasing until recently

so according to thay they'll bump up against each other soon, the screws are just now starting to tighten in the absolute scarcity system

but believe what you wanna believe no one has crystal ball
