Regarding purchasing power…

Don’t miss out on the upside of #bitcoin because you are fearful of the occasional downside volatility.

It’s amazing to me how many otherwise intelligent people pay this opportunity cost while using volatility as an excuse.

They are falling further and further behind.

Three practical tips if you find bitcoin’s volatility intolerable:

1. Small position size.

2. Don’t use leverage.

3. Hedge. It’s not that hard to do.

#Bitcoin is way to volatile, I'm afraid I'll get too wealthy

Volatility is healthy.

Well said! 🚀 Volatility is part of the journey with #Bitcoin, but missing out on long-term gains by avoiding it altogether is the real risk.

Those three tips are spot on—managing position size, avoiding leverage, and hedging are key to navigating the ups and downs while still benefiting from Bitcoin's potential.

Don't let short-term noise make you miss the bigger picture. ⚡️

What would be your preferred method of hedging, nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l ?

Doctor, literally everybody I mention bitcoin to for a great while now, says: I am afraid, volatility is huge with bitcoin, I would not dare put my money in it. I advise them to study bitcoin a bit, besides mainstream media's 2 minute articles. I can just see in their eyes it is not gonna happen. When I encounter this kind of reaction, I realize how early we are. I live in Hungary by the way, home of the Satoshi statue.

Can you elaborate on hedge?

Easiest in brokerage accounts and with bitcoin (or especially, “crypto”) proxies.

1. Short sell.

2. Buy puts.

3. Increase cash position.
