My New Year’s wish for 2026 is that Bitcoiners also use their Bitcoin.

There is one place where I disagree with Michael Saylor — when he says “never sell your Bitcoin.” I understand what he means, but a Bitcoiner who truly understands what it means to be a Bitcoiner also spends Bitcoin.

I agree that there are still not many places in Europe that accept Bitcoin directly. But we do have good tools, like Bringin and Wavecard, that make it possible to use your Bitcoin through Lightning.

Stack hard — and spend a little less carefully.

Remember why you hold Bitcoin. It is not to be rich in fiat!

Competition is good, but did not looked at competitors this time.

I used Ledn this time, but have good experience with Xapobank as well.

Just pulled a mini-Michael Saylor move with my one-man company:

• Collateralized my BTC

• Borrowed USD

• Bought a new miner

• And oops… "accidentally" stacked even more sats with the leftovers into the company treasury wallet

Now officially running a one-man Bitcoin Treasury Company ₿

Peter Schiff predicts Bitcoin will fall to $10,000.

If that happens, I would agree that Bitcoin is dead. Why?

Bitcoin is a network of people. Over time, more and more people understand the concept and choose to participate. At the same time, many people invest in Bitcoin purely to get more fiat. They drop out during bear markets and often lose fiat as well. But those who truly understand it keep going — they continue to save in Bitcoin and invest time in understanding it even better.

That is why the power law, and especially the bottom price, works so well. It is simply the result of how many people are dedicated to the network and understand what this is really about.

Today, the bottom price is $50,215. Historically, Bitcoin has never traded below this power‑law bottom. Will the price go down to that level? Unlikely — but never below it. There are simply too many dedicated Bitcoiners for that.

Christmas dinner conversation:

Relative: You can’t keep all your money in Bitcoin. It’s way too volatile.

Me: It’s not volatile at all. If I own 1 Bitcoin, I own 1⁄21 million of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist. That doesn’t change.

Relative: But the price has dropped a lot lately. You must be paying much more for things now.

Me: True—I pay about 30% more compared to the peak. But I also earned about 30% more Bitcoin from my December salary than I did in September.

Perspective matters. Bitcoin is volatile in fiat terms—not in supply.

Why do I have all my money in Bitcoin? It would be far easier to keep it in my local currency and invest in funds instead.

I choose Bitcoin because I no longer want to participate in the fiat system, where a few enrich themselves at the expense of the many.

That is why I don’t just hold Bitcoin, but also run a node, mine Bitcoin with my “space heaters,” and operate a Lightning node for transactions and routing for others.

I do this to contribute to a decentralized system that no one owns.

Thank you 🌞

All I want for Christmas is one block

Jurassic World Oslo

I have a confession to make.

This year, I fell hard for the altcoin temptation.

It started with the idea that anything I invested in should outperform simply holding Bitcoin.

I started following an investor who really understood Bitcoin but was also deep into Solana and AI stocks. His arguments were convincing, so I began copying some of his plays. I even subscribed to TradingView. Early on, everything looked golden—I was printing solid gains and started fantasizing: “If this keeps going, I could quit my job and trade full-time.”

But as always, the market reminded me of its nature: almost everything pumped through summer and into early fall… then the music stopped.

I’m the exact type who lights up during FOMO and panics hardest when fear sets in.

That’s when the promise I made to myself—deep down the rabbit hole—came rushing back:

Bitcoin is money. It’s what I should save and live on.

I already have a great job I’m good at and enjoy. Why jeopardize everything trying to out-trade the market? It’s exhaustively documented that nearly everyone loses money trading long-term, simply because the professionals are better than the amateurs—just like in every other field.

Bitcoin is money that appreciates over time for one straightforward reason: there will never be more than 21 million of it.

I began stacking in 2022, and in that relatively short period my holdings have nearly tripled—doing nothing more than consistently saving.

I’m etching this lesson in stone so that next time the trader delusion creeps in, I remember who I actually am.

Isn’t all coins. Active, passive, lost or whatever among the 21 mill coins?

I actually don’t understand the problem.

Stealing is not ok, but if they are lost it should be ok looking for them in my opinion.

More friendly than that is impossible 😅

Thanks. I just opened a channel to your node, so I’m back and hopefully more patient this time 😊

Ha ha, i like this one 😂

I currently run a Lightning node with 68 channels, and if I’m going to open more channels, I’d like to do so with people I can collaborate with — for example here on Nostr.

If you have, or are planning to start, a Lightning node, send me a message here on Nostr and we can start collaborating.

**Feel free to share this message.**
