First thing that happened but it speard to the lymph nodes but they still call it testicular. Odd

Had a lady stop immediately when the light changed from green to yellow, was 2 1/2 car's length from them still hit I took all the damage some how.

A little over a month ago, Bitcoin recorded a CAGR of just 8% over the prior four year period; the lowest it’s seen in that kind of window. Experiencing that felt just as off as it sounds. And yet, Ark Invest recently updated its bull case for Bitcoin to a staggering 72% CAGR through 2030, with a projected price of $2.4 million.

Do they know something I don’t? Honestly… probably. Their research budget is effectively infinite compared to mine, so it wouldn’t shock me if they’re seeing signals I can’t.

Ark attributes this expected surge primarily to institutional demand…something I’ve also believed would be a key driver, especially over the past year. But the timing of this renewed conviction, right on the heels of major developments in the market, feels a little too well-timed to be coincidence.

I’ll admit, I had expected the idea of “diminishing returns” to be disproven by now. And with Ark’s new projections, there’s still a real possibility that narrative collapses.

The invalidation of diminishing returns doesn’t require everyone on Earth to become a Bitcoin maximalist. It could just as well be catalyzed by the rapid deterioration of fiat currencies. That scenario is arguably more plausible, and certainly more painful, but it leads us, indirectly, to the same outcome: Bitcoin becoming the clear monetary alternative.

Bitcoin’s scarcity isn’t static; it compounds. Through its programmed supply schedule and the inevitable loss of coins due to human error, available supply will continue to dwindle. Price and divisibility will naturally fill the gap.

Bitcoin is many things: a network, a settlement layer, a savings technology, but it has long since transcended mere speculation. It’s about time the world stopped and took real notice.

Bitcoin’s recent behavior has been strange; acting both like a risk asset and a safe haven. Somehow, it’s pulling off the best of both worlds, driven by global sentiment. I wish I were joking, but it’s real.

Its 30 day correlation with the S&P 500 is around 65% and weakening, while Bitcoin has been outperforming during the same period. It’s not just keeping up; it’s proving to be the superior asset in the comparison.

As Bitcoin grows stronger, the dollar continues to weaken. I don’t use leverage, and I don’t wait around with dry powder for the “perfect dip.” Every dollar I can convert into Bitcoin is a win regardless of the exchange rate. I live on a frugal budget and stay productive because every bit of value I create can be stored in something that actually respects my effort.

Bitcoin’s resilience continues to surprise. Fearing a premature bear market now feels like flinching at big brother market’s shadow. Even if the price pulled back, my conviction wouldn’t change, but yeah, it would’ve felt like someone rained on the parade.

The truth is, it’s still too early for us to fully understand what Bitcoin will become. We’re all just making our best guesses. Even Bitcoin doesn’t seem to know what it is yet it’s like an infant, testing boundaries, learning its place in the world.

But that’s the beauty of it. Bitcoin is fluid: it adapts, it evolves. It moves between roles with ease, constantly challenging more stagnant assets and institutions, giving them all a run for their money. And it’s only just getting started.
