When the advice was initially given, and for some time following, it was in fact a reachable goal, evidenced by those who achieved it.
The possession of BTC in itself is not virtuous, not yet at least. Only once all traces of even the echoes of fiat have faded from our society will we be able to indisputably link BTC ownership with virtue. Until then there is no way to be certain the acquisition of one’s sats was achieved in a virtuous manner.
Only the bearer truly knows, whether he is conscious of it or not and whether he chooses to admit it to himself or not, if the sats he’s stacked were done so through the means of his own virtue or not. Whether a man created value via his own God given talents and work ethic and humbly saved the earnings in BTC, weathering the slippage in the process, is known only to him and God.
For those who have built a stack in virtue and whose conviction has grown alongside the value of their holdings, I offer my respect. I recognize what you’ve done as a testament of your intelligence, your humility and your courage.
My hope is that you continue to act in ways that deserve my respect well into the future and you spend your sats as virtuously as you saved them.
You’ve projected a sense of morality into the conversation that no one was talking about. I’ve made zero mention of superiority outside an objective measure of it via BTC ownership. Those with more are superior to those with less.
75k. And less than 200k understand it enough to truly know the importance of getting to 1 and storing it properly.
Of that 75k, I’d say 10k don’t really know what they’re holding.
I'll be honest with you nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzenhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7mnsw43rzun5d3ckxcfcwgmxzatev9mn2m34dqekcdf5xgexgmf5wde8jdty0fnx2ef5xcunven3v5u8xdn3va6kg6mnxajx5arxwvlkyun0v9jxxctnws7hgun4v5dpfm4n I really like listening to you and i agree with what you stand for but i think you've missed the mark with this one. I mean being in the apparent top '0.01% globally' is that supposed to be some sort of accolade? History would surely tell us that this is a group that we dont really want to be associated with no? Is that really what bitcoin is about? Are we really measuring our perceived 'worth' based on how much bitcoin we each individually have? Seems a bit fiat to me to be honest. Just an opinion though lad, i mean no offence. Much Love. 🥃
Being at the top of anything globally is something to be celebrated. It marks an elite status in something nearly everyone on earth has access to. It is small, average-minded thinking that associates elitism with powerful, bad actors. If you have a whole coin and don’t want to be in the top 0.01%, sell some and descend down the ladder.
Sats forever. Bits is gay too.
PSA:
If you are heavily invested in US assets... including stocks, bonds and/or real estate... then you should probably take a listen to this recent interview with nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgq73kpcjhhrptf9gnd9qksu3k2nxr09tusez8ltmk8z9x4h6wdavuwmfgqg
The major secular trend has already started... and few are ready for the necessary shift away from over-financialized US assets and to hard assets (like bitcoin and gold) and international equites.

Steak and Shake is accepting Bitcoin for payments, removing seed oils from all their foods, cooking food with beef tallow and100% Grade A Wisconsin butter, sourced from a family farm. Maybe you should look into things before you condemn them from your ivory tower of nutritive purity. What a loser.

That said, I lack the expertise to know who’s right and who’s wrong. I am simply standing by, observing, collection data on all the individuals involved, and waiting for the conviction to act.
Continue on, all.
Attacks are blessings. They provide the opportunity for Bitcoin to display its antifragility.
If Bitcoin cannot survive an attack like this one, it doesn’t deserve to become the world’s money.
Things like this must happen to ossify our resolve and deepen our conviction. We must prove to ourselves, to one another - and to the world - that we will defend Bitcoin in whatever way we can.
Our collective efforts will be enough. They must be.
We were not brought this far to fail now.

It’s not just an intelligence test. It’s a humility test and a courage test as well. All of us have all 3.
Getting close to that time where all the people who are playing fiat games in an attempt to squeeze out more sats than they’ve rightly earned will feel the pain and those who have remained humble and stacked sats will enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Let’s take the brakes off this bitch and see what she can do.
