Bitcoin is a rabbit hole of sheer truth, even the noise.
Your wallet and value are not the only beneficiaries, your health and quality/appreciation of life will swell as well.
Your brain gets rewired but in a healthy way in my experience.
Bitcoin fixing money is the first half of the equation, but that’s only because more than just money is broken.

Bitcoin: a decentralized digital monetary system and programmable base layer.
Onchain micropayments are expensive so Lightning and other layers fulfill the cash utility.
The importance of a conservative base layer has been recognized, scaling has been outsourced off chain.
Segregated Witness and Taproot soft forks increased security, privacy, and functionality.
With functionality comes use cases and controversy over proper use of block space.
Mining has centralized into professional operations; without a specialized computer you stand little chance of success and even with a whole fleet the odds are stacked against you.
As the block reward keeps halving bitcoin is transitioning toward fee based security.
17 years of bitcoin transactions still fit on less than 1 terabyte.
Chain analysis and privacy tools have symbiotically fueled each other’s advances.
Bitcoin evolves slow and reacts quickly controversy is a feature not a bug. Consensus comes after deliberate discussion.
Bitcoin still shares so much with its visionary proposal, but now it holds historical proof.
What did it become? More.
In the doldrums of doomer sentiment I remain with hint of quiet triumph. The dream hasn’t failed; it’s hardening into reality.
If the white paper was a seed then we’ve only glimpsed the sapling of the tree it will become; change is uncomfortable, but it turns out how it’s always meant to be.
New year? New me? Same BTC.
Studies show patience beats trading.
No need to over complicate things, I just buy and hold Bitcoin.
Bitcoin’s long term potential still trumps any short term scam.
Bitcoin is a fair and square asset; I wouldn’t want it if it wasn’t.
Huge outflows from ETFs don’t shock me they excite me, I believe they are standard behavior, but the fear they cause is an opportunity to stack cheaper sats from weaker hands.
It might seem like ETFs are selling a lot of bitcoin but it’s all Bitcoin that was bought, and they’ve bought way more than they’ve sold.
And it’s still an insignificant amount to their total AUM.
If you can’t take the risk you don’t deserve the reward.
I’d rather risk my money than my body or mind, the former is replaceable but the latter isn’t.
Bitcoin is more than a gamble; it’s a tool for freedom.
Gold and silver passed the stress test, Bitcoin flunked it this time.
We all have our soy boi high beta risk asset moments, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also have our hedge moments.
No asset is purely one thing, especially bitcoin. Sometimes you need a new box.
Peer to peer electronic cash? Digital gold? Why not just bitcoin?
Bitcoin shines brightest when liquidity is abundant, inflationary money printing episodes, and financial repression or currency collapse scenarios; better prepared than scared.
The honest box: Asymmetric, volatile, scarce digital asset with option like convexity; best performed in risk on liquidity cycles, but capable of hedge behavior in specific inflationary or systemic trust breakdowns.
Money printing leads to inequality and that’s one of Fiat’s major flaws.
It’s breaking the system and Bitcoin is our best shot at fixing it, but it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Is the Bitcoin bottom in?
I couldn’t tell you, but what I can tell you is this: you can hope in one hand and stack in another and see which one gets full faster.
If you don’t stack the sats someone else will.
It’s not about timing it’s about every chance you get.
There’s nothing like having so much fun with family that you forget your routine obligations.
My family is not the feeling and the feeling I cannot touch.
True value is given.
Thanks Satoshi.
#Bitcoin
Too much control turns into corruption, our limitations are what make life beautiful.
What’s wrong with more power to the people?
Imagine if more people could have a say faster.
Decisions made more efficiently, less resources wasted.
Imagine a system that didn’t push you to opt out, instead pulling you to opt in.
In bitcoin there are no heroes only double edged swords.
Not everyone will be awakened by Bitcoin’s ideological and social justice narratives, but they will eventually be impacted by its systemic and economic implications which will attribute to the former.
The more centralized an institution is the greater the risk of discrimination when it comes to resource allocation.
Bitcoin is my favorite because it has no favorite. Everyone has a fair chance of making something for themselves with bitcoin, that doesn’t make it easy, only worth it.
When given the choice between disappointment and appreciation, make sure you choose appreciation.
A 30% drawdown from ATH and a mediocre 2025 in general has been dismal for spirits, but the outlook is still overwhelmingly positive for bitcoin:
Institutional adoption remains robust: BlackRock accounts for $25 billion worth of buys in 2025 alone.
Supply dynamics are getting even stronger: strongest it’s ever been and the weakest it’ll ever be again.
Long term performance is strong: we are still up 5x+ from the lows in 2022…
The only asset that had similar performance from similar size in my opinion was NVIDIA.
Nvidia outperformed Bitcoin, but I have no exposure, because an unstoppable company is still infinitely more vulnerable to total failure than Bitcoin is.
1 year performance:
BTC: -9% Gold: +65% S&P: +15%
2 year performance:
BTC: +102% Gold: +111% S&P: +43%
3 year performance:
BTC: +425% Gold: +139% S&P: +78%
4 year performance:
BTC: +81% Gold: +142% S&P: +47%
5 year performance:
BTC: +282% Gold: +132% S&P: +85%
6 year performance:
BTC: +1,105% Gold: +192% S&P: +111%
When in doubt zoom out.
With only 3 prior cycles I do not believe Bitcoin’s behaviors are set in stone, it’s completely possible and in my opinion logical that if hyperbitcoinization were to occur, every cycle beforehand would be a statistical outlier. You can’t tell how well the dress fits until it’s all the way on. Maybe Bitcoin won’t be of its own influence until it encapsulates a significantly higher portion of the global economy.
Maybe we are just getting a taste of structural Bitcoin as opposed to emotional, maybe the ones giving it structure are actually trying to shake all of that emotion out. I think this is short term bearish long term very bullish. Emotion and Bitcoin were never supposed to mix, if you wince at the beast it will eat you, but if you can look it in the eyes unfazed it will show you respect, not once, an everlasting contract.
Bitcoin greed and fear being at 16 right now is like a full grown man being afraid of the dark…which may still be more understandable than a full grown man being scared of NGD.
All I’m saying is S curves show diminishing returns until they don’t, noise isn’t just noise, it was once signal and it will be again when the crowd forgets: they always forget.
Don’t miss the forest for the trees we are still in the prelude.
If the 4 year cycle is broken does that mean no more parabolic pumps? That brutally cheap sats aren’t coming back?
Has Bitcoin been co-opted by the system it was built to destroy? Or is this just a small step in the elaborate process of BTC fixing the world?
It’s possible institutions will smooth bears and accelerate bulls.
Maybe the cycle didn’t break it’s just accelerated in its evolution, it’s always changed a little, this time it changed a lot.
Bitcoin was built to win not to stay fringe. I can only control my own sats.
🤣 Sonny it’s just time deflating in terms of bitcoin, don’t lose your britches😂
Got her purring like a kitten, boy do I love this saw, it’s bitcoin color so you know it gets work done.
It was designed pre fiat, I’ve determined it’s an early 70s model, don’t let the top shroud fool you, it is a 041AV farm boss, the original was damaged and replaced when it was ran over by a tractor in the 90s.
The two tone color has grown on me and I’m not sure what the original actually looked like just that it was before Stihl went orange and was more reddish.
I just need to sharpen the chain to razors then I’ll fly away like a witch on a broom.

What if the deficit can’t be fixed? What if policy can’t be predicted? The more I stack, the less their decisions dictate my future. I’m not immune, but I’m insulated.
Trade imbalances, fragile banks, systemic cracks…I don’t fully know how it all spills over, but I know Bitcoin is my buffer.
Funny how the very reasons to buy it usually come packaged with a discount.
If Bitcoin’s movement is making your eyes water, I hope it’s from awe, not fear.
The real question isn’t whether people are stacking; it’s who isn’t.
With each passing day, the answer edges closer to no one.
Amid the noise about price, I remind myself: 1 BTC will always equal 1 BTC.
Fiat frames the drama; Bitcoin frames the truth.
