To make it in #crypto, its important that your list of don'ts is longer than your list of do's.

🚨 The internet is getting scrubbed, purged and supressed.

Centralized distortion of information has been used to build narratives and side-step reality.

Nostr & #Bitcoin (lightning network) offer an alternate path to host content and incentivise its storage.

The slowest bleeding #crypto(s) also rug the hardest.

'Selling the bottom' is not a privilege reserved just for the retail crowd. Countries do it too!

During 1998-2002, the UK sold 57% of its gold reserves at multi-decade lows - only for gold to rally +377% later.

Similarly, expect a lot of smart money to fumble their #Bitcoin.

What you see ≠ What you get

1. Money supply & credit cycles > Biz. performance

2. Debt-fuelled buybacks hide fundamental weaknesses

3. Safety of treasuries is robbed by debasement

#Bitcoin cuts-through the financial minefield and protects your economic energy.

Soon...

1. Many U.S. federal workers will be unemployed

2. The U.S. federal govt. will not be spending as much

And, Powell will continue to delay rate cuts?

Perhaps not. Not for long.

#Bitcoin

In 2025, many will finally hit 0.1 BTC.

After selling their SATS for sh*tcoins.

Study #Bitcoin. Don't be 'many'.

If you:

1. Skipped the painful drawdown of 2022,

2. Lacked the courage to enter in 2023,

3. And avoided the 8-month grind in 2024

Its obvious that BTC will test you in 2025.

Study #Bitcoin. Embrace volatility.

PSA for tourists joining crypto in 2025 - sh*tcoins have earned their name for a reason.

The vast majority (+95%) outside #Bitcoin is at best useless, and at worst a grift.

Respect your capital and don't get REKT.

TradFi's intellectual dishonesty is our opportunity.

#Bitcoin

Q: How will 2025 pan out for #Bitcoin?

A: No one knows for sure, but the U.S. Fed is likely to cut rates to roll-over debts, debase the dollar and inject liquidity.

And... that's good enough for BTC.

Large BTC positions that look 'outrageous' are often built on a deep foundation of knowledge and risk management.

Treat your prejudice with curiosity.

Study #Bitcoin, and there's a high probability you'll arrive at similar allocations.

Study #Bitcoin to buy it; have spare cash and/or regular income to Hodl it.

Without either, you'll be forced to trade it instead of Hodling it.

What they don't see:

1. Brutal drawdowns

2. Constant volatility

3. Crypto bad actors

4. Attacks from mainstream media

5. FUD by eCoNOmists

6. Bureaucrats writing hit pieces

7. Managing multi-sig self-custody

8. Hodling though bull & bear

What they see:

#Bitcoin breaking $100K

Boomers' legacy needs Bitcoin more than their today does.

Most developed nations have aging or even contracting populations. Growing govt. debt and currency debasement is on the cards.

Boomers have greater wealth to lose compared to Millennials or Gen-Z.

Study #Bitcoin!

"Buying time" delays the pain, BUT doesn't eliminate it!

Interventionist monetary & fiscal policies based on Keynesian economics distort market signals and lead to recurring cycles of booms & busts.

#Bitcoin protects you from such instability.

Person A: "I DCA & Hodl #Bitcoin"

Person B: "I pair trade Memes with DePIN on leverage"

Only one person will win and it won't be Person B.

"#Bitcoin is useless"

He said while grinding 100 hr. weeks, to outrun debasement.

Gov. bureaucrats FUD #Bitcoin just to sell you sovereign debt.

The goal isn't to convert #Bitcoin into fiat gains.

The goal is to stack enough sats, so you can focus on what truly matters (to you) without constraints.
