Atorvastatin went generic in 2011. It's a few bucks for a month's prescription even without insurance.

Ugh, you get one high LDL-C result on a lipid panel and the pharmaceutical industrial complex wants to pump you full of statins.

I used to get really angry when people would criticize #Bitcoin   .

Now I literally don't care. I look at them, smile and say ok.

That's how confident I am.

How do you react to criticism these days? Is it worth the effort to get into a fight, or hfsp is enough?

#Bitcoin fixes this

I'm pretty sure the physics of combustion engines don't change in the future? I'm not sure how time passing has anything to do with the ability to use a car that doesn't have an OS. What about the future makes my 98 K1500 stop working?

Anyone working on open source firmware for cars? I don't trust any of the shit these car manufacturers are loading into their dashboards.

GrapheneOS motor vehicle edition?

So Biden gave 6 billion to Iran now we have to face them? Got damn sounds ironic to me

The number of people or "experts" who believe a thing is always irrelevant.

This is quite literally what’s occurring in #Bitcoin now. Institutional moves are happening. #HODL

That’s a good why to think. Who wins? Who benefits? What changes?

Outside money, especially in large size, typically comes with greed, fees, or overhead costs. It’s where middlemen usually siphon off a portion and that tends to grow over time.

It’s part of moving from the hobby phase to the business and revenue generation phase. To put it in tech terms, it’s when you move out of the garage and into an office and start marketing.

🤡‼️🚨The more this guy posts stupid shit, the more I’m convinced that we are on the right path. #Bitcoin 🙌😅

Almost like clockwork: the fed starts indicating maybe raising rates isn’t what they shouldn’t keep on doing. And look at what happens to the price of #bitcoin

Remember the last bull run? When interest rates were below 2%

Now imagine the slingshot.

If you had to give an opinion, the longer institutions hold off, the better? Or no? At least from an average citizen of the world perspective.

The meme’s do get ahead of themselves each cycle. With many of the flaws that weren’t apparent in the hype showing up in the middle to the end.

One of the best protections I’ve found is to try and stay true to the core of Bitcoin’s ethos. To step away from the noise and hype, and try to think critically and be unbiased in reviewing and reflecting upon the realities of what a meme is suggesting. This helps to be more realistic about the possibility and timing for which it would actually play out.

Most memes seem to insinuate the outcome will be within a week, month or year; which creates a lot of FOMO.

If we step back and look at the past, we can gain a better understanding of how long it actually takes markets to come around major change.

Especially when it involves the way we think about and use money.

“The institutions are coming” was a meme in the last cycle.

And it was partially true. Small businesses came. High net worth people came. Forward thinking public companies with bitcoiner leaders like MicroStrategy and Square/Block came. Even a few big insurance companies and asset managers dabbled.

But that was premature. The institutions just tasted. Their leaders bought with their personal accounts or otherwise understood, but couldn’t put big regulated money in. And it was a crazy time- with fiscal stimulus many things were a bubble.

I talk to some institutions, and like, they get it now. That’s not exactly news when Larry Fink is on tv calling it a flight to quality. But I will reinforce it anecdotally- institutions increasingly get it, or at least some of it.

Most people only see the prior cycle or two. They don’t see all prior cycles since inception because that requires looking at a log chart and putting in a few hundred hours of research.

Bitcoin has to get big enough to hit your radar, lead you to form an opinion on it, collapse, and then hit your radar even bigger again, for most people to get it. It’s not about “all cycles”; it’s about their *specific* cycle of understanding it, forming an opinion, and then seeing another cycle that either validates or challenges their opinion.

Also, many people will get emotional this cycle. Fade emotions and focus on fundamentals.

Anyway, enjoy your evening.

Before you try to fix #Bitcoin, give it some time to fix you.
