We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools #Bitcoin
This is either a generational buying opportunity or too late to chicken out now. Either way I’m stacking these sats into the sunset, I just happen to think it will rise again. On the flip side people who are still here are people I’m proud to call my peers. Binance/or traders on the platform has sold more bitcoin in the past two days than all other exchanges combined. MSTR might experience difficulties servicing its debt at $8,000…just imagine going back to $8,000, that’d be hilarious; I’d probably still be stacking. image
When you’re solvent, a crash isn’t a threat; it’s motivation to hit the fiat mines and stack sats while others panic sell at a discount. There’s risk in bitcoin like there’s risk in the sun: you can’t eliminate the volatility, only learn to position yourself to harness its energy while protecting yourself from burns. The dark doesn’t scare me anymore because I’ve honed my night vision, I know the opportunities hidden in market winters that most people, stumbling blind through fear, will never see. Even in the darkest times you know light will return, but that knowledge is worthless if you don’t survive the night, which is why you prepare for both extremes, building a system robust enough to exploit the cycle itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image
What does a whale have after selling thousands of bitcoin? Less bitcoin. It’s that simple. Stopping your bitcoin buys because a whale stopped is like stopping breathing because someone else did. There will be less than 5% supply growth over the next decade. What else has this kind of scarcity? image
Today has me thinking: am I trading at a discount to my bitcoin holdings? Do I undervalue myself the way everyone undervalues Bitcoin? Who let the sats out? Discounts all around. I still hodl with my foot on the throttle. Don’t know if I’m ahead or playing catch up; I could stack to oblivion and back. I don’t time the dips, but if they hang around, I buy them again. image
Imagine being the richest man in the world. Not rich, the *richest*. Multiple companies under your empire, where even the smallest one is worth more billions than most corporations could ever dream of managing on their own. We’re talking about Elon Musk. Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink, the whole machine. Now here’s where it gets interesting. All of Elon’s companies combined are worth roughly 69 times what Strategy is worth. Sixty-nine times. The sheer weight of that empire, the rockets, the cars, the AI, all of it dwarfs Strategy on paper. But Elon’s companies hold 36x less Bitcoin. Let that sink in. The most powerful corporate empire on the planet, and a mid-tier software company that nobody used to talk about is sitting on a mountain of Bitcoin that makes Musk’s entire portfolio look timid by comparison. I’m not sure anyone can catch Strategy. And that’s the wild part. When you look around at who *could*, the answer might only be all of Elon’s companies combined. Not one of them. All of them. And even then, it’s not guaranteed. It’s just crazy to think about. A company built on pure conviction and relentless accumulation, potentially outpacing the most diversified, most powerful business empire in human history. Is it genius? Or is it a critical error waiting to reveal itself? I guess we’ll find out. There goes my hero, watch him as he stacks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image
Some might call it horrendous but honestly this dip was a necessary cleansing. Refreshing in the way truth cuts through illusion. Not that bad when you zoom out and see the bigger picture. They can keep it coming because I’m still accumulating, still building, still believing in what most can’t see yet. Bring it on. This is how conviction gets tested. Wipe the weak hands out, shake the tree until only those who truly understand remain holding the sats. The market doesn’t reward comfort. It rewards those who can sit with uncertainty and still see clearly. Bitcoin isn’t weak, it’s as fundamentally strong as ever, operating exactly as designed. It’s just on sale for those with the vision to recognize value when fear clouds everyone else’s judgment. Deep pockets don’t make strong hands. Money alone won’t carry you through the darkness. But strong hands, forged through cycles of doubt and vindication, can build wealth that transcends mere numbers. They create the kind of depth that comes from understanding something greater than price.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image
