The gradually then gradually crew says there are sellers at every price tho. (Where were the sellers at $114,364.26? No where. There were no sellers)

NGL I have a price where I sell enough to retire myself, and I have learned that whenever I make bitcoin sell decisions, I'm usually very mid-curve.
As long as that only means paying off the mortgage I guess I’m fine with it. But you’re treading dangerously close to Benedict Arnold territory
Perhaps it's the decades old fallacy that I am "helping" bitcoin, if I use it to buy time or developers or miners for a fork.
Also I'm just tired of working.
I’m just wondering what you do with the funds to retire? Sell bitcoin , buy _____?I want to quit working too but I was thinking of gradually “selling” each month to pay bills- instead of lump sale to cover decades worth of unknown expenses.
There's always the failure scenario where some flaw in the curve is exploited or a fork introduces catastrophic imbalance of incentives and tradeoffs, and bitcoin loses value until it can fix the issue and spend years and years rebuilding its reputation, if even possible.
In that scenario, no amount of shaving off a little bitcoin at a time will help. Most would regret not building a fiat insurance nest that, at the very least, puts them far ahead of the rat race.
Consider this a message screamed from the tippy top of the middle of the curve.
MSTY or IMST
If you have enough money STRF/STRK/STRD
IF you believe Strategy will continue to be volatile, liquid, and financially strong.
Selling each month is an option as well if you don’t want any exposure to the traditional system.
From yieldmax MSTY website: “The most recent distribution on 07/07/2025 contains 96.86% return of capital and 3.14% income.”
Does this alone make IMST superior? Seems like a crazy high ROC.
They both will do ROC. ROC is more of an accounting thing that is beneficial for tax purposes. MSTY has a strong track record. IMST is a bit more conservative with their approach, but it’s yet to prove it’s a better vehicle for total return on top of offering income.
There were no sellers between 80k and 100k the first time around either.
And then there were…
Maybe it will drop down and maybe it won’t. Eventually it won’t. That’s the part where Satoshi said “if enough ppl think the same way it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy”
I think that’s more referring to going from 0 to 1, which we did.
I don’t think we will see an S-curve adoption with Bitcoin. Nothing I see tells me Bitcoin’s network is the same as Facebook or TV adoption. We have ETFs, Bitcoin being sold in just about every fintech app, the President talking about it, consistent appearances on MSM by Bitcoin proponents, companies adopting, famous people in pop culture talking about it, etc. And still the average person walking down the street is oblivious, and the ones that know about it and have some don’t fully get it.
The “suddenly” part is not coming. Adoption will continue to follow a power law, which is quite fast anyway.
What people are not prepared for is a “slow” grinding multi year bull market.
Yeah I actually don’t compare bitcoin to a network like Facebook or the internet. The idea of bitcoin as Money exists only inside our heads. Bitcoin becoming money is entirely mental. People just need to think a new way. I compare bitcoin adoption more to the adoption of new scientific ideas like Einstein’s Relativity or Copernicus’s Heliocentric theory. Relativity took about 5 years, Heliocentric took about 100.
Really interesting take.
I'm thinking Relativity theory might fit better than Heliocentricity as Relatively is a concept through which we understand and express the world, whereas Heliocentricity was a truth that we hadn't understood until Copernicus worked out what was going on.
It’s a network of nodes.
Ideology and monetary human constructs aside, if you want to forecast the increase in purchasing power then you have to project the growth of the network. A power law better describes the growth of the network than an S curve is my point.
