People get hyper transparent and semi traceable data from #Bitcoin transactions and FREAK OUT when it’s bad news.
I simply marvel at the awesome innovation that allows this while also being the best SOV humanity has witnessed for the past decade and a half.
Self custody + #BTC= holding the keys to your own digital treasure chest.
Government’s selling #Bitcoin for fiat, while idiotic, is one of the most selfless things they can do, discounted sats for all!
Sadly I don’t think governments are intentionally doing this, and will likely do the exact opposite when they realize the inevitable.

#Bitcoin reigns supreme, the value behind it is unimaginable, and the future will reflect such.
The key to transcending the limitations of time lie in self custody. The potential this unlocks is boundless.
You can thrive and endure on a #BTC standard or fade into obscurity with fiat.
This isn’t just a digital asset. It’s destined to be a cornerstone of global finance.

Irrationality looks like a lot of volatility and broken models to me

2024-06-23 02:50:41

The ripple effects from MicroStrategy’s dive into #Bitcoin could be turning into monumental waves. Each wave is a different company, could Dell be the first one to hit shore? Could it be dwarfed by successor waves?
There’s no titan like Saylor, but Saylor isn’t the biggest titan. He was the first, and you know what comes after the first? ALL of the others. This was never going to be another retail cycle, it’s the first institutional cycle, I’m expecting a lot of irrationality in the markets as the titans get their bearings. Right as the silt settled the institutions came to romp, stomp, and murk up the waters again.
If I were picking stocks the most important thing about any company would be DO THEY HOLD #BTC? While this is a rare qualification to have nowadays, I believe moving forward it will become a more important part of mainstream investing.
You can see it with stock prices jumping on authentic or false claims of companies adopting some sort of #Bitcoin standard, I believe the amount of people responsible for such jumps will increase astronomically. Maybe to a point where not operating on a #BTC standard is another nail in the coffin for companies who aren’t providing adequate shareholder value.

#Bitcoin isn’t just an intelligence test for individuals, it’s also an intelligence test for governments. Any government that sells: dumb, and any that holds: smart. Even if they think turbulent times are ahead: selling #BTC is a pea brain activity. Who cares when other people do it, I appreciate the cheap sats, it’s just painful to watch.
When the music stops, some people or governments might try to make sure they aren’t sitting on any #Bitcoin. I’m quite the opposite, when turbulent times are ahead I want to be sitting on and accumulating as much #BTC as possible.
The start of 2025 is approaching, debt ceiling pressure can be suspended/ignored, but the consequences remain. The U.S.’s loss of economic prowess is not to be swept under the rug. Fiat is a system built on trust and obedience; what happens when we lose these things?
#Bitcoin is the fortress I refuse to abandon, because I would much rather fortify my position further. I know the turbulent times will pass, and I know my fortress will stand strong.
No more bandaids on deep wounds. We have let our problems fester into crises for long enough. It’s time to let this house of cards fall and build something new, something hardy. People underestimate #BTC’s use as a precious resource. It’s solid ground in a world of quicksand.

Money weaves through our interactions and binds us through trust and mutual expectations.
When money breaks it can ripple through our relationships manifesting as tension and mistrust.
It’s not just numbers in an account.
It’s promises we make and keep; the support we’ve given; and the respect we show.
Don’t be mistaken, corrupted money can corrupt the strongest of bonds.
Every interaction is an exchange of some sort and the means for that exchange is what I understand to be money.
Everything CAN BE money, but not everything is GOOD MONEY, and there happens to be no second best money.

Step 1. Get hardware wallet or reputable custodial service depending on your preferences.
Step 2. Buy #Bitcoin
Step 3. Ensure you have a solid accounting system or consult with an accountant regarding taxes and financial reporting
Step 4. Stay informed in regards to #BTC regulatory environment and comply unless you are willing to make a stand and possibly face the consequences.
Hope this helps, I don’t have a business to do this, but I do work for myself at all of my jobs and run on as much of a bitcoin standard as possible.
If I end up with a small business I would take the balance sheet and convert as much as I could to btc. What was left would just be for running what parts of the business are on/need fiat rails for convenience purposes, accounting would be a lot easier if you only bought as much btc as you didn’t plan on spending soon and leaving what needed to be spent in cash…sometimes easier said than done.

2024-06-19 00:10:28

More companies are coming out with similar strategies to $MSTR when it comes to turning balance sheets into #Bitcoin treasuries, but none at the sheer scale that MicroStrategy has accomplished.
How long will this remain the case?
If there were ways to self custody exposure to $MSTR I probably wouldn’t be 100% #BTC.
No one issues bearer shares anymore, but I think it’d be cool if they were brought back.
I refuse to believe bearer shares were “discontinued” due to money laundering and tax evasion. I think it’s more likely the difficulty to trace and debase was the cause to cease.
Financial sovereignty is the antithesis of digital surveillance. #Bitcoin makes things possible that haven’t always been impossible, things that were made impossible by the infringement of our God-given rights.
Crisis is no excuse for this infringement, shutting people and their companies down for critical thinking or questioning the incentives behind crisis farming is still an infringement.
Operation Paperclip ought to have be dubbed Operation Fascist Seed. Its blooms won’t stop their quest for overreach.

Okay okay, fiat price has been crabbing for 5 months, still bullish, but not as bullish as bitcoin dominance 💡

2024-06-18 01:14:23

Fiat price might seem bleak, but #Bitcoin Dominance looks to be in a very bullish trend.
I’m so bullish on #BTC.D that in my lifetime I think it will make sense to start using it to reference against all assets rather than strictly digital ones.
I think this would be the first step in getting people to price the world in #Bitcoin. First we have to get the people to price #BTC in/against the world.

All of this volatility without going anywhere has got me very bullish on the moment #Bitcoin bounces back to and then through all time highs.
It’s amazing to watch #BTC’s resilience in real time. It almost seems to defy reality.
Miners seem to be selling more, this could indicate an opportunity for cheaper sats before things really kick off, but I don’t recommend timing the market, stick to your DCA, maybe stack harder when #Bitcoin is below your average cost.
Y’all can sell all you want, I’m solvent, convicted and stacking more no matter the situation. I’ve never complained about cheaper sats.

#Bitcoin’s integrity is unmatched. Its resilience is unparalleled. It doesn’t follow any man, instead it follows mathematical principles. I bank on certainty in an uncertain world; I bank on #Bitcoin.
#Bitcoin has been the reigning champion in the digital asset world since its creation. It’s more likely that it will become the #1 largest asset in the world than be dethroned by a different digital asset. What replaces email? What replaces the internet?
In the digital age #BTC is king.

#Bitcoin incentivizes me to produce value by any means possible.
It incentivizes me to continue to produce higher quality by perfecting my skill.
It incentivizes me to be picky and patient instead of drowning myself in consumerism.
If I wrote a love letter it would be to Satoshi.
He gave me a reason to go or a reason to stay depending on how you look at it.
It’s easy to lose hope nowadays, but I can see it through #BTC.
Price is fun to watch but it’s not important as long as my portion of the total supply cannot be diluted.
You can’t steal my hard earned money by printing more #Bitcoin because one cannot simply print more #Bitcoin.
I don’t need everyone and their mom buying #Bitcoin to keep buying.
An 80% drop doesn’t make me want to sell it makes me want to buy more.

I don’t have exposure to meme coins because, believe it or not, their success depends on #Bitcoin’s success.
I’m a firm believer that if #BTC “fails”, literally everything else that “competes” will be beyond doomed.
They lack the foundational substance for me to consider storing value in them.
If you don’t see the value in a hard capped supply or network effects then you’re missing the whole picture.
#Bitcoin’s network effect > all else.
Everything has a centralized authority when compared to #Bitcoin’s decentralization.
I simply choose quality.
Institutional interest isn’t the end all be all for legitimizing where it’s okay to put your value. I think it can signify a markets ripeness to be manipulated and turned into a profit.

The narrative behind #Bitcoin is one of the most intricate fables.
It’s an underdog story that strives to empower individual financial sovereignty.
It’s a story whose ending has yet to be written; whose fate lies in the palm of our hands.
The threats are out there, threats will always exist, it’s up to us to take responsibility and be aware.
When it comes to the myriad of possibilities; I feel safest banking on #BTC.

Buying #Bitcoin is like buying acreage in the modern El Dorado.
I like to keep my friends close and my risks closer, third party risk is my least favorite type of risk.
This epoch will begin to rewrite the very foundations of finance.
#BTC is a testament to human ingenuity, for every problem there is a solution, we just got to find it; if it can’t be found we got to make it. #Bitcoin is the first successfully engineered money, it is still the best engineered money.
#BTC is still the first of its kind and we are still treading through uncharted waters.
You gotta take it one breakthrough at a time.

Patience, discipline, and financial prudence are key traits to successfully making it the distance with your #Bitcoin.
Withstanding the test of time with your stack requires more than just luck. Don’t forget this.
Luck didn’t keep me from selling at $15.5k, but knowledge and logic did help me buy at a point where it felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
As #BTC matures I think its growth will become steadier, and I think this cycle will be indicative of how much #Bitcoin has matured.
We mustn’t forget that #Bitcoin is a low time preference asset. Imo this means it doesn’t age/mature as fast as a short time preference asset.
It’s an immortal jellyfish vs. fruit flies.

I don’t think I can out trade hedge funds. Most of my experience in trading has shown me that I don’t know how to trade.
I think I can out HODL them. HODLing #Bitcoin is simple, but it isn’t easy.
I’m not spending millions a year on cutting edge information or algorithms that would give me an advantage in the short term as long as I kept doing it.
Much like #BTC, patience and discipline are severely undervalued.

Quality Investing on a #Bitcoin Standard
I don’t invest in #BTC I save my money in the best money.
I price opportunities in #Bitcoin…and one day it might look like a smart idea to invest my sats, but I have yet to see that day.
I haven’t seen what would be considered responsible and sustainable business practices when priced in #BTC.
I’m not sure how I’d self custody my share of whatever I was investing my #Bitcoin in, why would I invest self custodial #BTC in something that had third party risk?
It might seem like a good investment on paper, but it’s only paper. I don’t see much difference between this trade off and “send me 1 #Bitcoin, and I’ll send you 2!”
The uncertainty of these ventures goes beyond just third party risk.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE COMPANIES ARE AUDITED EVERY 10 MINUTES?!??
0!!!
Sounds like a flight risk to me, I think you can get away with a lot of unethical behavior when you aren’t audited every 10 minutes.
My stance is as firm as the ancient oaks, rooted deeply in the soil of financial sovereignty.
I’ll just keep saving my money in the best money until something seems worth my while. IF something seems worth my while.

#Bitcoin transaction fees have been falling faster than anticipated, miners are being forced to adapt at an accelerated pace to maintain profitability in the long run.
Transaction volume falling is nothing to fear. I prefer to think of it as a testament to Bitcoiner’s diamond hands.

I haven’t seen any direct evidence, but I have heard conspiracies about possibly government owned ufos that don’t seem to have any exhaust holes, which could point to a different energy source than we are familiar with. Would be huge if true.
I do agree that said new energy source could seriously boost human productivity, but I don’t think it would be a silver bullet for debt. I believe our debt stems from human nature’s darker side of fear and corruption.
Technology has already increased human productivity exponentially, sadly debt seems to have a positive correlation with productivity.
Things still get more expensive as we get more productive because it’s almost used as an excuse to steal more from the people.

Whales are some of the smartest money, but don’t follow the whales too closely. #Bitcoin’s dynamics are shifting, and I think it will be in the little guy’s favor.
The more big players we get the less an individual big player’s take will matter versus overall sentiment.
#Bitcoin was always meant to be in the hands of the many, there will be no special group that makes all of the decisions.

At the time it seemed like the start of something way worse that would have rekt all exchanges and cleansed #Bitcoin of LARPs and scammers by disrupting NGU like never before, however it was the bottom, the point everyone capitulated voluntarily or worse.
I’m glad non governmental creditors are getting reimbursed what they have lost, but I’m pretty sure it’s only the dollar value at bankruptcy +18% if it was less than $50k at the time.

The #Bitcoin miners are beginning to capitulate; the effects of new supply getting cut in half are starting to be realized.
Less efficient #BTC miners are exiting stage left. I believe energy-efficient and waste heat miners will be a more and more dominant portion of hashrate.
My fears of a centralized authority controlling too much hashrate is soothed by the knowledge that mining #Bitcoin will only get less profitable in terms of #BTC and that miners who are not primarily focused on #Bitcoin mining profitability, rather mitigating wasted energy or generating heat, will be more so equipped to go the distance than miners who are primarily focused on playing fiat games.

While arguably true it does undermine the greatness of the invention.
A horse can’t compete with a car or tractor much like gold won’t be able to compete with #BTC in the long run, nothing will.
#Bitcoin has been one of the most resilient assets since creation, I believe it’s steadfast nature will become more so appealing as clown world progresses.

#Bitcoin won’t dethrone fiat imo.
There’s a very small percentage of the world that will research and think about the monetary policy they operate under enough to stumble across the thought, “Is this really the best way?”
There’s an even smaller amount of the world that would not answer YES after thoroughly researching and transitioning to a #BTC standard.
Fiat will dethrone itself with it unpredictable, degenerative ways that will continue to worsen.
#Bitcoin however will ALWAYS be an alternative. A predictable and innovative alternative that will continue to get better.
The choice is already obvious to those educated on the matter, and the uneducated will eventually be left with no other choice than #Bitcoin or slavery.
This isn’t #Bitcoin’s fault; it’s the result of a broken system, corrupted money, and human nature.
Everyone wants a free lunch, but there’s no such thing. Someone will always have to pay the price. In our case it is the youth, the children, even the unborn.

Wasn’t hard to see coming… it’s exactly what I was expecting.
Over time #Bitcoin has become easier to hold, I don’t think this trend will continue linearly.
Many shakeouts to come!

#Bitcoin ETFs? More like lettuce hands.
They didn’t come close to changing #BTC, at least not yet.
It’s seeming that they are increasing volatility to a degree that disproves diminishing returns…let’s see if this will keep up. 🤔

In today’s news apparently Saylor is trying to put decentralized identities on #Bitcoin’s base layer using inscriptions.
Idk why…
This is why we #Nostr

#Bitcoin is becoming a greater share of the global economy. I don’t think it’s foolish to assume it could become all encompassing.
It represents a cataclysmic shift in the way we view money on all levels from individual to institutional to international.
It’s a revolution that everyone is a part of whether they like it or lump it.
Fix the money, fix global trade.
It’s either CBDC Slavery or #BTC Freedom for you and me.
Bitcoin is neutral towards the environment like it is towards its users and this is good.

#Bitcoin is the original decentralized digital asset.
It has inspired tens of thousands of wannabe scams that have risen and fallen in #BTC’s wake.
#Bitcoin stands out because it is the most secure and longest running digital asset.
21,000,000, PoW consensus, and the ability to hold/verify my own reserves are the main reasons for holding my wealth in #BTC.
NGU is just a side effect of #Bitcoin’s anti-debasement properties.
No money comes without compromise. After doing my own research it seems #BTC is the best compromise and when it comes to pricing things in #Bitcoin, it’s best just to hodl.
Slow and steady will win the race, #BTC has been the best performing asset on various different time frames and its pace hasn’t wavered.
The king is still on his come up, he won’t be dethroned any time soon, possibly ever.

I suspect this cycle we will see #Bitcoin supply and demand imbalances like we’ve never seen before.
Adoption rates like we’ve never seen before.
Enslavement like regulation attempts by bad actors with power.
Mind blowing advancements in mining.
And I’m just excited to watch.

I’ve got an idea 💡
What if we put unregistered securities on the base layer 😈
This way #Bitcoin can finally compete with all the other unregistered securities 🧠
Not like there will be any legal implications 🤓
I call it Beta #BTC 😥😭

Worried that the #Bitcoin halving might just not happen?
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s a clean cut 😎

Only if I get drafted, and if I have a choice in where I go. I would never do it voluntarily, only because I don’t want to take lives or give mine so stubborn, senile old men can make even more money.
However, I respect people who do volunteer their lives for this country because their motives are pure patriotism.
It’s a shame our government has to constantly betray them by being so corrupt!

On the brink of what could escalate to a World War, strategies to make it the distance with my #Bitcoin have never been more important.
My plan?
Join space force, write a book about #BTC, then…profit?
No matter what happens, if I become more risk adverse it will result in me stacking more #Bitcoin.
If we all keep stacking, eventually, no money printer in the world will be able to fund a war.

I don’t know if the recent discount on #Bitcoin was caused by escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, but I do know it wiped out a lot of the leverage.
I believe #BTC dominance will benefit from this sell off.

Is the #Bitcoin market currently in a state of euphoria or is no one bullish enough?
We are experiencing an influx of capital that rivals 2021 easily. IMO thinking we have already reached a state of euphoria is cope for those who are under exposed to #BTC.
Those LARPs who think this cycle will be smaller than the last are in for a shock.
“No WaY InStItUtIoNs PuMp It HaRdEr ThAn ReTaIl”
Not to mention 0 FUD.
I think things are just warming up and the real euphoria is yet to come.
I associate euphoria with FOMO and I think FOMO levels are relatively low because the below $100k ship hasn’t sailed yet.

The #Bitcoin halving is usually associated with a surge in price as it slowly creeps towards absolute scarcity.
For some reason it seems group thinkers are convinced this time will be less dramatic than 2020. They think a 5x is impossible. They think long term holders will lead to reduced volatility…
They are in for just as big of a shock as supply. 😉
Long term holders don’t care about helping volatility. Long term holders, well at least the smart ones, won’t sell just because #Bitcoin is overvalued in the current cycle. As it’s still severely undervalued when you look at future cycles.
I think long term holders will be indifferent to fiat price volatility because they realize 1 #BTC = 1 #BTC.
I’m still expecting something more dramatic than 2020. Something so dramatic we invalidate the presumption of Diminishing returns and all other models. I would not be surprised if S2F seems to get re-validated, PlanB’s background was more associated with institutional investors than emotion filled retail investors.
Emotions are hard to quantify; I assume the institutions are bringing NONE. They won’t get shaken out, and they won’t stop. In fact they will start to increase their recommended allocations…
I haven’t seen any evidence that this cycle is going to be smaller than the last. Why is everyone acting like this time will be the same WHEN ITS ALREADY DIFFERENT (ATH before halving)
“Meh, meh, meh, priced in” 🤡
SHUT YOUR FACE. Normies have barely started asking about it unless I bring it up. “$70k?!😧😰”
ETFs haven’t even started pushing/soliciting yet. What we have seen is interested clients gaining exposure. We haven’t seen all the sheeple who will invest in #Bitcoin because daddy Fink says so.
Sheeple might be sheep, but their pockets are deep.
You will find me anywhere but the sidelines.

#Bitcoin ETFs haven’t even been out for a whole year, the party is just getting started.
The success of these ETFs will catalyze more demand for the apex asset.
I suspect the recommended allocation will increase with their success too.
People will start to catch on, and the amount of maxis will boom.
Monetary premiums of other assets will be eaten.
Flipping gold this cycle is a possibility, and would be a huge milestone/shift in global finance.
