First slashdotting. July 2010. Mined for a week with my laptop cpu…back when that worked. Managed to not sell all but definitely sold way too much. Donated some and helped with a foundation that subsequently folded.

I’ve always bought small amounts every month since coinbase became a thing. Those $20 buys in 2013 really mean something today. Started buying for real in March/April 2019 after plan b released his model.

While I no longer thing plan b model is best, it’s still useful. Very useful. But for long term planning I believe power law model more likely to be true on average. Much less optimistic but also not exponential…exponential models always must fail eventually. Power law models don’t _have_ to fail ever. But even this model will fail someday. My guess is 10-15 years.

My advice: learn self custody well. Practice it. Get a coldcard from @nvk and practice seed creation, backup, delete, restore and wallet creation…and stack hard enough to have no regrets…this means don’t become a forced seller. And don’t leave too much on the table.
