I don’t exist

Stupidity is confidence in things you know nothing about.

They were early to release their own stuff online so this wouldn’t be out of character. Would be amazing!

It’s a thoughtful piece. I for one would settle for being able to run a bitcoin company with a regular bank account to make payroll and pay suppliers and not have to constantly look over my shoulder for random SEC harassment in the US. Just give us space to build and grow. Not asking for a lot.

When you trade bitcoin for fiat you are launching a speculative attack on the hardest money ever created using the weakest. Good luck with all that.

Ouch. I zapped myself.

It’s 2032. Christmas is next week. Bitcoin is ranging in the $950-990k range after plummeting from an ATH of $1.21M. Are you thinking about any of the noise that’s happening now? I know I won’t be.

If you need more support, these people in the new US administration own bitcoin:

POTUS

VPOTUS

Secretary of Commerce

Treasury Secretary

SEC Commissioner

DHS Secretary

Chokepoint 2.0 is over. Floodgate 1.0 begins.

December 2017 was the end of a bull market. This is the beginning of a bull market. Expect five or six more of these 20-30% pullbacks on the way up.

Reminder: the typical bull market correction is 30%. There are usually at least five of these on the way up. No one knows when they are coming. They are accompanied by face melting rallies like we just had from $58k to $108k. Anyone can handle the rallies but few can handle the draw downs.

Few.

Note to self: Technical Analysis is bullshit.

Thought experiment.

Option # 1

Let’s say you have 10 bitcoin and we hit 2 million in the next few years.

You’re tempted so you sell it for 20 million dollars.

After taxes you’re be left with 16MM.

Which you use to comfortably generate 1.2MM a year in the tradfi markets.

So you take the money and retire.

Bitcoin crashes 60% back to 800k.

For a few years you feel like a genius. You enjoy your new rich person lifestyle.

You even buy back a few bitcoin. 2 to be exact. 20% of what you used to have.

Then bitcoin rises over the next decade to be worth 50 million per coin.

You’re worth 120 million now. And you decide to sell a little over half a coin and upgrade your lifestyle again to be able to generate an additional 2 million a year.

You’re now on paper worth 120 million, you generate 3.2 million a year (266k a month) and you’ve been largely stress free for the last decade.

Your kids will inherit roughly 1.62 bitcoin from you upon your death.

You have some level of regret about not hodling through, but you’ve been largely stress free and the mental health benefit was worth it in your mind.

Vs.

Option # 2

You have the same 10 bitcoin but you Hodl them.

Your stress levels are persistently higher.

You also decide to retire when Bitcoin hits 2 mil, but you decide to do so in bitcoin terms.

Your plan is to sell a little bitcoin as needed in order to fund your lifestyle.

This is roughly 1-3 million sats a month. Depending on bitcoin price.

Over the course of 10 years you end up selling or spending 2.4 bitcoin and are still left worth 7.6btc when bitcoin reaches 50 million.

Your net worth is 380 million.

You’ve reduced your lifestyle in bitcoin terms down to a million sats a month. (500k) or 6 million per year. You’re 46, Assuming you live until you’re 90 you will pass down 2.32 bitcoin to your kids.

You have no regrets about the way you played it, but your stress was consistently higher and there were a few scary months along the way.

Which option do you choose?

1 or 2?

Once you realize the path is the drawdowns then it’s not stressful. If you aren’t down millions sometimes you’ll never be up tens of millions other times. Loss aversion makes you weak and poor.
