Checkers not chess

Pretending you don’t care about price isn’t cool

The amount of hinting towards massive bitcoin news coming soon makes me sick lol

The most important thing Trump could do for bitcoin is to remove the capital gains tax

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in “the market” 😂

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

I can’t help but think the strategic bitcoin reserve bill is not very well thought out

Why would we pass a bill telegraphing exactly how much bitcoin we’re going to buy every single day for the next 20 years or whatever the time frame is?

Any dictatorship that could move faster than us would just smash buy a ton and we’d spend the next 20 years pumping their bags and buying at way higher prices than we would have if we just stacked as quietly as possible

Internally I am humble but I’m gonna talk that talk during this bull

It was a long bear

Holier than thou Bitcoiners who didn’t stack hard are mad rest of us are welcoming governments pumping our bags

“Bitcoin used to be about separation of money and state!!!”

Such cope lol they never thought governments would actually stack I guess

Bitcoiners think voting is feeding the system like if you don’t vote no one gets elected and the government just goes away lol it just sounds good so they say it
