Sort of felt like you were talking to me at the beginning of the Matt Dines pod. Although I know there are many like me. You ain’t wrong, good advice in there! Keep stacking.

I miss the philosoraptor

Might not have quite been true when I first posted this, but feels true now. Better early than late!

On Twitter I’m a permabull, always have been, always will be. And generally that is what I actually believe deep down.

But here in Nostr I feel like I can be a little more nuanced. The bullishness never left, it was more like just sharing some side effects/inner thoughts that accompany the bullishness. Sounds stupid writing it out, but whatever. It’s more just an acknowledgment that hodling is a hard road, and carries a mental burden. It’s still without a doubt the right thing to do and the only path.

Lol, we all have our moments. Don’t worry I ain’t never gonna stop stacking sats

Faces have not been melted since 2017.

Found myself in an odd mood earlier, and felt like sharing. Have received many nice messages since. 10/10, would post again.

Love this, thanks for sharing

100%

Best I can do is 33 more years.

I mean of course I’m never selling. And you’re right, particularly about the travel, my kids hate traveling.

The home, on some land, living a pretty different homesteadesque lifestyle is probably what gets to me more. Because that I see as an improvement to daily life. But that’s in my head, not theirs, they’re very happy right where we are because it’s all they know. Thanks buddy.

Certainly the right answer, and to some extent I definitely do think of it that way, but impossible (at least for me) to not also see the investment case. Something to work on.

I'm nothing if not self aware for whatever that's worth.

This is a rough cycle. Mentally as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a a bull market since 2017. 7 years of meaningless chop ....as always there's light at the end of the tunnel, but just when I think we're reaching the end, we round another corner.

Not sure if other hodlers are like me, but I find it difficult to live in the moment. I do my best, but it's almost as if my life is on hold until we have a raging bull market. There are places I want to travel, a home I want to build, but instead I'm stacking and waiting, and the years are going by.

My first child was born around the last bull market, I've spent the majority of their life obsessed with bitcoin, stacking sats, and waiting for our "real life" to start. I still think I've been a good husband and father, but I know I could be better. Unable to ever fully be present, that nagging hope of a better future always in the back of my mind.

As bitcoin cascades down today in yet another liquidation wick, I can't help but reflect on the past. Perhaps we're all destined to be Moses, wandering the desert for 40 years, the imperfect saviors of our individual tribes. We'll be remembered, but only our children will ever reach the promise land. Could be worse I suppose. I still don't think that's very likely, I think we very well might be rounding that final corner of the tunnel, but I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that that might not be true. Perhaps there's another 33 years of wandering.

I’m 99.5% buy and hodl long term in cold storage. 0.5% gay options trader.

Just a reminder, your dumbass going leveraged long literally causes the price to go down. This directly delays hyperbitcoinization, causing unnecessary human suffering, thus is morally bankrupt.

If you must gamble on the bitcoin price use something correlated like MSTR options. Getting rekt on those only affects you.

It’s complete insanity, definitely something wrong with me, but doctors have been useless.

Thanks man! I got the invite to the thing on the 12th, see you there?
