BREAKING: US Government moves 19.8k #Bitcoin worth $1.92 billion to a new address. 👀

I want to elaborate on the idea that Bitcoin holders "got lucky." I hear it every bull market, and I don't think the people saying it truly understand what it means to HODL.

From the outside, it might look like we stumbled into the right thing at the right time and just coasted to where we are. But the truth is very different.

When I got into bitcoin, most people either didn’t know what it was, or thought it was a joke. I worked in the industry for 5 years, until 2018, earning and spending in btc because I believed in its potential--not because it was easy. During that time, I lived through price crashes of 50%, 70%, even 90%.

No one said I was lucky during those times. The ones who cared asked if I was going to be ok. 🧡

I’ve seen my net worth skyrocket one year & plummet the next, sometimes in weeks. I’ve endured extended bear markets where the price barely moved, and optimism was hard to come by. I’ve sat through YEARS of sideways markets, where it felt like progress was at a standstill, and doubt crept in constantly.

To stay all-in through that takes more than luck. It takes conviction, because when the price is crashing, and everyone is saying bitcoin is dead, you have to believe in what you're doing enough to keep going.

It takes resilience, because the psychological toll of watching everything you’ve built shrink overnight isn’t easy to bear. It takes patience, because nothing about bitcoin’s growth is smooth or predictable—it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Most importantly, it takes a deep understanding of why you're there in the first place. Being motivated by personal freedom, not fiat gains.

Luck might help someone make a quick buck, but it doesn’t keep you invested during the dark days when it feels like the world is against you. Those years of volatility weren’t easy, but they’re also what gave me the perspective, discipline, and belief to stay the course. So, no—it wasn’t just luck.

It was a choice, made again and again, through the highs and the lows. It's a choice bitcoiners continue to make each day.

And when you look at the other options, you realize there is no better choice. Bitcoin is the best hope for our future.

But sure, we got lucky. 🙄

If Bitcoin can solve all the problems of the world, why do we need governments? #bitcoin #philosophy #nostr #asknostr

well, to be fair, he does already own a controlling interest of preferred stock... which is more of his stock than any other founder of any other tech company that is publicly traded owns.

Do you think MicroStrategy is overvalued?

They have 210,840,000 shares outstanding and hold 386,700 Bitcoin.

386,700 / 210,840,000 = .00183 BTC per share.

At a current price of $97,000 per Bitcoin, that’s $178 worth of Bitcoin per share… current share price is $396.

They will constantly be acquiring more Bitcoin, but they will also be diluting their shares in the process. They sell new stock ATM and their convertible debt holders will convert to shares in the future.

MSTR will continue to grow larger through this strategy, but are we overlooking the risk of significant share dilution as investors?

Just thinking out loud here.

100% … and the real problem is that at current valuations absolutely no one should own any asset other than bitcoin.

Good morning Nostr.

The real estate "business" is a scam.

Houses are the most dumb, simple thing we've ever built as humans. They're rocks with a roof. They serve the purpose of providing shelter. They're barely a business and much less the jackpot like endeavour they are today.

They're not a business. And if they really are, then we lost our humanity.

Bitcoin solves this.

More and more people are waking up to this scam. A scam that destroyed the lives of many many many people. Backstabbing, slave like dynamics.

Fuck that shit. Fuck that mentality.

Slavery will end again with Bitcoin.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Ok - again on the recommendation of L. Alden, I took the plunge and setup an account with Swan to make my first BTC (is that the proper abbreviation?) purchase today. I'm confident that the math works in this whole affair, but it's the trust factor that's hard to gauge. It was a little disconcerting to hand over a shit ton of PII to a vendor that I do not know at all (SSN, photos of drivers license, etc.). Identity management is handled by a third party and I'm sure everybody is a good custodian of this stuff, but I don't have time to do due diligence on all these companies so it is a faith-based transaction.

Once we're over the identity hurdle, it's time to hand over the routing and account numbers for my "real" bank account. I would rather pay with a credit card to provide some security buffer, but what the hell - it doesn't seem to be an option. Now that Swan is hooked into my bank, it's a simple matter to make the purchase. I'm starting with $10. If this doesn't result in bad side effects over the next couple of weeks, I'm prepared to start dollar cost averaging in.

My next goals are to set up and fund a wallet of some sort and to look into self-custody (or whatever is the proper term of art). Apparently Swan is supportive of this capability.

Bye, bye US dollar. It was fun while it lasted. Like, what do you think is causing BRICS to de-dollarize in the first place?

GM nostr! Question for serious HODL people. How do you plan to leverage your stack to pay for the life you want in retirement or in life in general? #bitcoin #asknostr #hodl

"NOOOOOO! THE PEOPLE SELLING #BITCOIN BELOW $100K ARE STUPID! REEEEEEE!"

Bro, some of the people selling now have had their #BTC since it was below $1,000.

For them, selling 0.5-1% of their stack can mean that they get 1 year off from work to go and enjoy life.

The reality is, our time alive is much more limited than #Bitcoin.

I'm not telling you to stop stacking or to sell your #BTC.

What I'm saying is that there's a time & place in your life, where you need to realise that improving your life is worth more than some extra #sats.
