Good morning nostr! 💜🧡 #coffeechain #plebchain #grownostr

Some thoughts after the fakeout yesterday:

The excitement around the #Bitcoin ETF is undeniable.

I think the sad reality is that most realize, subconsciously or not, that without institutional capital coming in, we are not going to see another major bull cycle anytime soon. And with that no hype, no validation or big adoption wave coming. Instead a slow grind of adoption and then a possible rush at some unknown time in the future.

We've becomed accustomed and addicted to the four year cycle, and are now expecting our reward. I think the thought of not having a post halving bull market is terrifying to many bitcoiners. Not only would we not get the pump, but there would be no more regularity you could point to that would *guarantee* the next pump in the future.

If Bitcoin doesn't continue to go up in value, then the value proposition and incentives don't work. It's all reliant on NGU.

Ultimately I think NGU DOES work, and that Bitcoin WILL continue to go up in value. But if we want to be bulletproof then we should not expect or rely on the cycles playing out in the same way.

Great post.

It’s true, many people are anticipating a bull run judging by past performance. History can repeat, rhyme, tell Her-story or any story for that matter.

We are in unknown territory. We are explorers searching for a new frontier.

We must be ready for anything…physically, spiritually, mentally and financially🧡⚡️

GM/PV💜 Yesterday was a glitch in the matrix. A big what if scenario. What’s coming is coming in due time. A rare opportunity to have your conviction hardened in real life. In the meantime stay humble and stack Sats. The victory has already been won!

And the best thing... Bitcoin doesn't care about it at all.....

And ultimately an ETF does not mean bitcoin´s true adoption goes up. It is just speculation. True adoption happens via real use cases as it is already happening in El Salvador, Africa, Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey etc.. The less the financialization of Bitcoin the stronger will be its true adoption and less negative will be the impact from sudden bursts in value which ultimately kill true adoption. The banking cartel is not interested in bitcoin adoption, it is their n.1 enemy. They are interested in making quick bucks, pump and dump. If anyone is interested in delving into what are the risks to Bitcoin adoption and its likely path (more slowly and gradually than suddenly) you can look at my 2 most recent substack articles:
