While there is clearly some “signal” to his short term technical read, from my perspective, he treats Bitcoin as just a high-beta “risk-on” asset. Obviously, that’s all it is to the fast money, NGU crowd. But its real value is as an emergent, deflationary monetary protocol the likes of which humanity has never seen before.

So, regardless of the one day, week, year or even FULL CYCLE volatility, if it stays decentralised and secure (nod to nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgewaehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmdm2rmas) it MUST eventually outcompete the existing fiat system. Completely. As in “winner-take-all”.

My point is that one can REALLY wreck themselves by overthinking and trading bitcoin’s price in fiat. I have found it’s just better to get my UTXOs off exchange and into my own sovereign control. This allows me to free up the REAL scarce asset. My “time and attention”. 😌🪬🫶

Amen to that Chris

And hence leverage is so dangerous

And that Bitcoin reveals the truest of scarcity: our time

Self-custody and chill friends

Completely agree! What is a dollar anyway? 😂

I can’t wait to use it for my #artwork since if I’m right it’s made with linen. Woot.

Thanks 🙏

Couldn’t agree more. Well said.

checkmatey is the new ja rule

There is no exit strategy for those who really understand BITCOIN. You simply might have to exchange to purchase what you need right now if the merchant does not accept BITCOIN

Love it…but why do you say “eventually”?

Because it will take time to break the existing paradigm.

Similar to the meme “we are still so early”.
