Enjoy studying and participating in the Bitcoin revolution.

Because most people are exhausted, distracted, and trying to survive day-to-day. Outrage alone doesn’t build anything and chaos usually helps the same power structures people are angry at. Real change tends to come slower, through awareness, parallel systems, and opting out where you can.

How is it? My dad used to go down there in the early 2000’s but I’ve heard the crime is getting bad lately.

I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.

Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.

I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).

But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.

My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.

So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!

I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.

If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.

Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.

I’ve never been down this much in dollar terms, but I’m still confident I’m doing the right thing, so I keep stacking. I’m not here to get rich in fiat. I’m here for what Bitcoin actually stands for.
