That's why I'm thinking that the only smart financial investment, if you don't want to invade Canada, is Saylor-style. Incorporate a real business, take out a corporate loan or issue shares or something, buy Bitcoin, cover running costs and pay back the investors with revenue from the business, repeat. And I think a smart business person can do this more effectively with a business, than an individual can do with their day job. Businesses leverage human potential, especially the potential of groups of humans.

Of course, as you and I know, not all investment is done for merely financial gain. Sometimes people build things because they want those things to exist, more than they want to become rich. There have to be intrinsic human motivators because money is actually a relatively recent invention and humans invested before then, and not merely in their own survival.

That is why I think the people who think we're stupid, because we don't only "just stack sats, duh" are showing a lack of business sense. Bitcoin means that investments no longer have to bring returns _greater than Bitcoin_, they just have to somehow raise your personal Bitcoin-acquisition potential or lower your running costs dramatically, or some combination of the two.

My personal investment, last year, did not net me more than Bitcoin's price increase YoY, but it dramatically raised my ability to purchase Bitcoin, going forward. Bitcoin is cheaper to me, now, at €100k, than it was at €35k, because my purchasing power and liquidity rose so dramatically, so I'm stacking more and faster, than at the lower price. If I play my cards right, it will look even cheaper to me at €1 million, than at €100k.

This is the new investing-return measure:

Can you increase your ability to stack sats faster than the Bitcoin rise in purchasing power?

in the future, you will be happy to break even in bitcoin terms. we are lucky to be able to "purchase" it.

I am glad I was able to read the whole thing because until the last note I was thinking you’ll forget THE ONE THING why investing in a new business might ever outperform Bitcoin’s gainz.

And that’s exactly the rise in income. And that’s why you don’t have to worry about it and there still be people starting new business just because it can improve their chances to acquire more Bitcoin.

Anyway, well put.

Interesting take, makes sense 👍

What was the investment that dramatically raised your ability to purchase BTC?

I invested in my personal skill base, using the project, and got a job earning twice what I was earning before, in full-time homeoffice, so that I didn't need a car.

And then I took the extra time I won, by doing that, and we completed the renovation and move of three houses ourselves, and now I pay no rent and have significantly lower running costs.

Sounds like a lot of risk and a lot of work, and I'm glad it paid off.

I've got to pull a similar manuever soon
