This feels like the zone where all the normies are still convinced that #Bitcoin is just kinda stagnant and not going anywhere… meanwhile it just ticks up, and ticks up again, slow and steady. Then when this continues for 10%, 20%, then a 50% climb over the span of months, without any screaming rally or crazy hype… suddenly people look at the yearly chart and come to the sudden realization that “this thing literally only goes up!!”

Then all hell breaks loose.

This is a rough cycle. Mentally as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a a bull market since 2017. 7 years of meaningless chop ....as always there's light at the end of the tunnel, but just when I think we're reaching the end, we round another corner.

Not sure if other hodlers are like me, but I find it difficult to live in the moment. I do my best, but it's almost as if my life is on hold until we have a raging bull market. There are places I want to travel, a home I want to build, but instead I'm stacking and waiting, and the years are going by.

My first child was born around the last bull market, I've spent the majority of their life obsessed with bitcoin, stacking sats, and waiting for our "real life" to start. I still think I've been a good husband and father, but I know I could be better. Unable to ever fully be present, that nagging hope of a better future always in the back of my mind.

As bitcoin cascades down today in yet another liquidation wick, I can't help but reflect on the past. Perhaps we're all destined to be Moses, wandering the desert for 40 years, the imperfect saviors of our individual tribes. We'll be remembered, but only our children will ever reach the promise land. Could be worse I suppose. I still don't think that's very likely, I think we very well might be rounding that final corner of the tunnel, but I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that that might not be true. Perhaps there's another 33 years of wandering.

When Coinbase ever gets hacked, this industry is going into an economic depression of its own:

- All the BTC held in the ETFs gone

- All of $MSTR BTC gone

- BTC held by Public companies gone

- BTC held by US Mining companies gone

Woah… there is so much more activity here than I thought. Way more than the last time I checked in a few months ago.

Awesome to see! Hoping to spend more time on good vibes app.

I think this is going to be the piece of media I’m most remembered for and I’m ok with that.

Prize: 69,000 sats awarded to the first correct answer.

A tiger, a monkey and a banana must be ferried to the other side of a river.

You have a small boat, which is not large enough to take more than one of them.

If you leave the tiger with the monkey, the tiger will eat the monkey.

If you leave the monkey with the banana, the monkey will eat the banana.

How do you get all 3 across the river?
