Couldn’t agree more. Part of my strategy was to purchase btc ETFs to offset my taxes with tax deferred accounts, but I would still be at the mercy of government money. Finding examples in history where redeeming gold for fiat was no longer possible from one day to the next is an eye opener

Fiat under the gold standard was only redeemable in calm times. WWI, Great Depression, Vietnam/Nixon — all suspended redemption. If governments could flip the switch then, they’ll flip it again now. Bitcoin fixes this

Makes me question my strategy with Bitcoin etfs.

1975:

💰 $50,000 = 1 house 🏡

🥇 1 gold bar = 1 house 🏡

🪙 0 BTC = a joke

2025:

💰 $50,000 = down payment on a used Honda Civic 🚗

🥇 1 gold bar = 1 house 🏡

🟠 1 BTC = a small nation-state’s treasury

It’s not that assets are expensive.

It’s that the dollar that’s worth less. Did someone forget to turn off the printer?

My buddy said:

“Well the fact you keep talking about it as if you’re a caveman that saw fire for the first time…”

He’s not wrong.🔥🧠

Cold storage 🧤 or ETF sats with Uncle Sam watching? 💼🕵️‍♂️

$IBIT, $FBTC—easy exposure, but the tax man always sees you.

Is it still Bitcoin if Larry holds the keys?

Tell me how you really feel 😝

BTC’s a trillion-dollar asset with the emotional stability of a toddler on espresso.

It’s $TSLA vibes—no earnings, just pure conviction and chaos.

Still bullish. Still stacking. Still not selling. 🧡

Talking to a friend of mine, and I told him I felt so behind on accumulating sats.

His response “stack, and stay humble”. Another thing he told me almost a year ago, “everyone gets the price they deserve”.

To those who feel late in the game, just keep your head down and do the work. Many of us have access to funds locked away in stocks, or real estate. Be creative and make it happen.

Most importantly, do the research to increase your own conviction.

I’ve been diving deeper down the Bitcoin rabbit hole lately, mostly to keep strengthening my own conviction.

That said, I’m hoping someone can help me understand something — and I promise this isn’t meant as criticism, just genuine curiosity.

Why wouldn’t MSTR share their Bitcoin public addresses?

We’ve seen other big players like Block and even entire countries like El Salvador openly share this kind of information. Am I the only one who finds it a bit surprising that MSTR doesn’t?

Is there a valid reason for keeping this private? I’d love to hear the rationale. From my understanding, a few things stand out:

1. Bitcoin thrives on transparency

If MSTR wants to be seen as a leader in the Bitcoin space, wouldn’t it make sense for them to lead by example?

2. Security concerns can be addressed

Plenty of others publish cold wallet addresses without issues. Public doesn’t mean vulnerable — it just allows for on-chain verification.

3. Multisig adds protection

They could still use something like a 3-of-5 or 5-of-7 multisig setup with custodians like BitGo, Casa, or Unchained to reduce any security risks.

4. We’re relying on trust

Without public addresses, investors are left to rely solely on quarterly financials. That may be fine for now… but it’s not exactly the trustless model Bitcoin is known for.

Just trying to understand different perspectives here. Appreciate any insight

Okay, okay… I know I’m late to the party. Like, “showing up while they’re stacking chairs and sweeping up confetti” late. But about 6 months ago, a friend sat me down and said, “Dude… Bitcoin.” And just like that, I fell down the rabbit hole (again).

Since then, I’ve been steadily stacking sats like a squirrel hoarding acorns for retirement — except these acorns are digital and deflationary.

Lately, I’ve been ramping up my buys and even starting to feel a little smug when the price dips. (“Oh no… anyway, more sats for me!”)

But here’s my question for the OGs: what’s your take on Bitcoin ETFs? I know in some countries there are tax-advantaged accounts where ETFs make sense — but have most of you just said “screw it” and gone full cold storage, KYC-minimalist, not-your-keys-not-your-cheese?

Genuinely curious how others are thinking about long-term Bitcoin strategy — especially with retirement in mind. 🙃
