A balanced approach seems reasonable. Not that I did that lol. I'm younger so thought to go harder and reap the benefits of being early in BTC when it's potential is greater for wealth building.

To be fair when I wrote that post about Gold I was more talking about Gold guys who own zero BTC. I get why someone might have some GLD and BTC and to have 0 BTC is crazy imo. So I do think you're playing it well!

Yeah but he also said he killed a bear with a hand gun in an incident so ya know... probs full of shit 🙄

yes timing the market was not what I was suggesting. very hard to do that. I was talking about Dollar Cost Averaging OUT od the market when its overheated. You can measure its overheatedness with a risk metric. You still wont get the top for most of the sells but you may capture 60% of it perhaps. If keeping on Gold in the meantime then you can keep some of the high point BTC makes and buy back in later in the 4 year cycle.

I think the 4 year cycle isn't going to change soon. Maybe in 10/20 years plus but for medium term its here to stay I think. Its based, as far as I can tell, on new govts spending as they come into power in fiat and increasing the debt load which again causes the market highs BTC experiences - and other assets.

I would say the 'new regime' representing crypto is the one to back. I think the time has come for the old regime. I'm holding and riding the wave created by my enemies enemy but at some point this group will become my enemy and I'll need to detach somehow. That will be v difficult but at least I think Iknow whats going on more or less.

One thing people dont consider very much is "factions" within global elite. It's possible that Bitcoin was created by 'government' but when people usually say this they mean 'it's a set up or a trap' for us plebs and we will be rugged of your value at some point.

For example you could listen to Tom Luongo, Ian Ferguson and/or Whitney Webb to get an idea of these factions and how they are sometimes aligned against plebs and other times are just fighting for control vs eachother.

In the case of the former we plebs get fucked. In the case of the latter then the plebs benefit by having the enemy of our enemy doing things which align with our interests also.

But this is not to be confused with the enemy of our enemy being 'for plebs' of our friends. Maybe interests align for a period of time but eventually once these factions play out in a 'Game of Thrones' style epic saga of in fighting assassinations and war the winning faction will again look to subjugate the Plebs.

I dont think many people will understand the nuance of factions within power structures.

Instead of Bitcoin being a rugpull for plebs its actually a rugpull for the faction of the elites who have their power basis in fractional reserve banking and Libor Rates of interest on loaned money. Its this group of Elites who are non US and European based who are not aligned with Cypto and will eventually be ousted by it in favour or Bitcoin and Crypto currencies more generally as a basis for the new financial system.

Crypto is one big power play to oust the old regime and start a new one. This is not to be confused with 'BTC World Reserve Currency' type hopium, I think there will eventually be a rugpull when the new power faction has won and now looks to subjugate plebs. Not that I think BTC Network will fail. More likely imo some Layer 2 regime is set up on top and is KYC. In addition I also think GDP could be increased significantly with AI and new energy tech so as to lower the problemat Debt:GDP ratio.

Some Gold Bugs I follow have outdated criticisms of Bitcoin like what happens if the internet goes down?

Internet is not likely to go down for long if at all. Too much depends on it.

Nodes are now in satellites based on non-internet comms and we cna keep up with the network this way.

Its more likely that govts will ban your Gold rather than disrupt the internet.

The internet is based on cables but hundreds of them making up the entire global network. Its unlikely that all of them are disrupted.

Yup, they don't thunk plebs are on the same level as them they are very egotistical.

An original story of transformation from normal pleb to lazer eyed, hopeful psychopath...

Yeah certainly some dogy neighborhoods. Some safe also based on some Twitter guys I follow and YouTube etc.

Let us know how it is for you. I'd like to go there myself in 2026.

If only there was a alternative that wasn't so easily controlled due to its physical properties...

He's likely correct that this is a failure point of BTC imo although you could argue against this I suppose in some ways.

In such cases its good to own 6-12 months of minimum expenses in GLD but not to have the bulk of your wealth in GLD.

Its useful to talk in probabilities instead of absolutes. Is BTC better than GLD? Depends on the scenario. There are trade offs with both. So the Q becomes whats more likely to happen and which asset mix gets you where you wanna go?

For eg, I think the chances of the power and internet going out for a long time are low in the near future (5 years) but not zero. in this case I would say keeping SOME Gold is a hedge against this low prob scenario. You would also want food store, water store, protection etc. The probabaility amy differ between location and persons sense of the world. V individual choice.

I think its more likely that power stays on, internet stays on and we have a very inflationary next 5-10 years as the can gets kicked further down the road. As such BTC makes more headways against inflation than GLD so its better to have the bulk of your wealth in BTC imo.

In order for Germany to make a payment (to debtor countries post ww1) they either had to have money lent to it (made up of fiat ledger sheet money) from Wallstreet or have machinery it made purchased from it by developing nations who only had the money to buy said machinery because they were given loans from Wallstreet to do so.

Fiat ponzhi scheme in full effect after WW1. All the "growth" is based on fiat loans which need to be paid back with yet more fiat loans.

This is the thing that's so hard to fathom. There is only so much value in the world and when we use Fiat moneys we base a medium of exchange on something which is not the value itself but an lesser representation of it. These representations need to be paid back but because there is only so much value in the world. it can only be paid back with fiat leading to an endless cycle of loans to pay back loans.

If all the value in the world is represented by 1 then Fiat is over and above this. You would need to create more value in the world to truly pay it back without a fiat loan. You would need more land, more Gold, more energy, more of the actual valuable assets.

What a head fuck.

"When

Germany made a reparations payment, it informed the BIS that the Reichsbank

had credited the BIS’s account in Berlin. The BIS then informed the national

banks of those countries receiving reparations, such as, for example, Britain, that

the monies were available to draw on, if they so wished. If they did not, in case

the movement of substantial sums might affect exchange rates, the funds

remained in the BIS’s account. In the meantime, the BIS used the funds

earmarked for Britain to buy securities—which it could sell if and when Britain

wanted to draw its monies."

"The BIS is a unique institution: an international organization, an extremely

profitable bank and a research institute founded, and protected, by international

treaties.

14 The BIS is accountable to its customers and shareholders—the central

banks—but also guides their operations. The main tasks of a central bank, the

BIS argues, are to control the flow of credit and the volume of currency in

circulation, which will ensure a stable business climate, and to keep exchange

rates within manageable bands to ensure the value of a currency and so smooth

international trade and capital movements. This is crucial, especially in a

globalized economy, where markets react in microseconds and perceptions of

economic stability and value are almost as important as reality itself."

"After 1945, five BIS directors, including Hjalmar Schacht, were charged

with war crimes. Germany lost the war but won the economic peace, in large

part thanks to the BIS. The international stage, contacts, banking networks, and

legitimacy the BIS provided, first to the Reichsbank and then to its successor

banks, has helped ensure the continuity of immensely powerful financial and

economic interests from the Nazi era to the present day."

London Gold Pool. Eight countries

pledged to manipulate the gold market to keep the price at around thirty-five

dollars per ounce, in line with the provisions of the Bretton Woods Accord that governed the post–World War II international financial system.

I'm sure there was blackmail holding these meetings together and the 'trust' in reality. Makes Epstwin and PDiddy type figures understandable. It's all falling apart now.

“However much money

was involved, no agreements were ever signed nor memoranda of understanding

ever initialized. The word of each official was sufficient, and there were never

any disappointments.”
