Bitcoin is going way higher (Fed balance sheet). image
Over the next decade, wars will be fought, maps redrawn, governments will default and their currencies hyperinflate or dissapear, while people lose their jobs due to being automated away. I don’t think we will see ww1/ww2 scale conflict, but more of the sort of things we’ve already been experiencing for years. More Ukraine, Trump, Putin, Venezuela, Iran, drones, covid, psyops, internet outages, rebellions and men in green uniforms. But for most of us, thankfully not outright war or collapse. How to survive? Stay nimble and fast on your feet, be able to move around. Be fit. Find income streams not linked to your location, save in bitcoin. And tune. tf. out. from the noise, focus on yourself and family and your inner worlds, don’t voluntarily plug in to mass propaganda venues like X. It’ll actually all be fine.
The world is only getting more adversarial from here on. Imagine not keeping most of your savings in Bitcoin
Movies like Train Dreams that are shot in 4:3 make me irrationally angry. Let me make full use of my screens and 2020s technology that I paid good money for, don’t bother me with your fancy artsy bullshit.
Once you decentralise at least aspects of your life (even if it’s only, say, money and social media), it becomes easier to deal with the clown world. Imo, all our ancestors had to deal with clown worlds of sorts, but were to an extent opted out by default. Their lives were informal, local, and unrecorded. Technology has opted us in to clown world by default, but decentralisation is the exit. Simple.
Big resolutions for the new year include leaving X behind completely, and moving more of my spending onto a Bitcoin standard. For the latter, I’m probably weird like that but a problem for me has always been that most of my Bitcoin stash is cold storage and I see it as long term family savings. So going into 2026 I will more regularly convert part of my salary into Bitcoin each month, move it to a hot wallet / Lightning and spend it. Because fuck fiat.
The real frustration with Bitcoin is that it’s not a story that will be written over the years, but over the decades and likely centuries. We all want to be there for the 0 to 1 and live happily ever after but truth is even our kids may not see it in its final form. That’s humbling
I enjoy these moves, because I know at the other side of it there are some big sharks increasingly exasperated that their manipulative bullshit tactics aren’t moving the market by more than +/- 2% these days. All your pathetic efforts for this lmao. image
Fed balance sheet expanding for the first time since March 2023 (SVB debacle), which was when the recent Bitcoin bull run started. Imo on a false belief that QE was restarting materially. It didn’t and was quickly unwound, leaving Bitcoin a bit in no man’s land (but still pumping due to 4y cycle cultists and ETFs). I think we’re going a lot higher soon.
