Just turned on haptic feedback for my keyboard on my phone

Feels like I just enabled an entirely new device

I know everyone is super, uber, mega bullish for 2025. I can’t lie and say I am not , especially with every macro factor lining up perfectly.

However, being in my second cycle now, my perspective has changed since my first cycle.

—SBR doesn’t happen? No biggie

—MSTR goes belly up? Whatever

—Back down to >15k? No problem

If every single bullish prediction ever made for 2025 didn’t happen, my thesis and my actions wouldn’t change. If Bitcoin fell 90% in price, sure I’d be scared shitless, but it wouldn’t change Bitcoin’s core value. We could lose 50% of the hash rate, and I would still be optimistic.

My point is: I’m trying to learn to find balance. I’m learning to manage my expectations . I’m keeping my hopes low and manageable, as to both avoid disappointed , and be pleasantly surprised should those expectations be surpassed. I’m already preparing for the mental toughness I’ll need to survive the bear market, let alone the next decades of my life.

The calls for $250k/800k/2M Bitcoin by end of 2025: they have all become noise to me. Predictions are great and exciting, but only time can tell. And until then, my principles will remain unchanged;

Learn more. Work hard. Love intensely. Stay healthy. Stay vigilant. Stay humble. Stack sats.

I don’t see how a UBI wouldn’t lead to more money printing

Going all in on Bitcoin was the most important decision of my life. Not for the money it would become, nor for the purpose and meaning that it would deliver to me, but because it was a decision that was truly mine.

The whole world and everyone in it has ideas of who you are suppose to be, and most of the time we conform with that in some way or another. While I did not know it at the time, I knew in my heart of hearts that Bitcoin not only had a chance to save me from a life of mind-numbing pointless work, and nihilistic existence; but more than that, it allowed for me to believe in what I saw for myself, and my own understand of it before what everyone else was telling me. It let me stand up for myself against a world that just wanted to use me and keep me in the suppressed, small role it had relegated to me. Bitcoin allowed for me to decide something else against this system that could not see the light and love that I really am.

This decision came from my own strong conviction within myself that I knew from the deepest levels within me. Even though it seemed crazy, irrational, and like it wouldn’t work to everyone else; just like most major decisions that can change your life for the better, I knew it was what I had to do for myself. There are no other people who can make these kind of decisions for you, and that is why they are them in their lives and you are you in your life. Only you can make the decision for yourself about how your life is going to be, where you are going to put your energy and how you are going to save yourself against a world that wants to exploit you like a machine, and give you worthless paper in exchange for it. You can choose something else now, but that decision is on you alone.

While I cannot promise that you’ll get rich from Bitcoin, or even that it will be a profitable decision with your timing of the markets, you will learn to have a new kind of conviction and faith in yourself which is a kind of wealth in its own right. You will learn that you can decide to take a risk on your own thoughts and decisions, and that is worth something in and of itself.

Just some food for thought going into 2025.

Great post, thank you. Been considering this for myself too , and perspective from those who have done it is very helpful

Good morning Bitcoiners !

Today is a gift. How will you use it?

My First 3 Thoughts About Using Nostr.

1. The feed here feels clean, less like a firehose of nonsense, and more like an experience. Social media fatigue has been my biggest hurdle to trying something new. Between 𝕏, Facebook, and Instagram, keeping up has been exhausting as a solopreneur. But this? It’s like revisiting “Old ways, new days.” Honestly, it’s pretty damn cool to see a space that feels this refreshing. I’m getting the late1990s AOL WaReZ room feels.

2. Let’s face it…the way social media monetizes engagement is a dumpster fire, as it rewards spammy behavior, divisive posts, and clickbait nonsense. Here, the idea of people directly rewarding people feels…right. It aligns incentives in a way that makes sense; over time, I think this will be what sets Nostr apart.

3. The overall vibe here? Optimistic. It’s refreshing not to wade through the black-pilled doomers dominating 𝕏 these days. Over there, it feels like the loudest voices are just shouting their opinions into the void—and honestly, I’m over it. Here, the conversations feel constructive. People want to contribute something meaningful instead of just making noise.

Massive thanks to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe, and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for staying on the gas about it. I should have listened to you guys much, much earlier ✊🏽

It is nice to get off on a fresh start with a social media platform for once

I was discussing bitcoin with some cousins, when another cousin came into the room and said “I thought bitcoin wasn’t a thing anymore”, to which I replied “nope, still very much a thing”. She said “nah no way that’s still a thing nobody is doing that” . I was a few glasses of Christmas punch into the night, and wasn’t able to contain myself as I let the words “Have Fun Staying Poor” slip out my mouth in response.

It was a bit harsh , but it was all good😂
