Bitcoin’s volatility isn’t chaos; it’s purification. Each violent swing is the network testing conviction, burning away weak hands so only those who understand remain. It’s a cycle of renewal disguised as destruction. Every dip doesn’t make Bitcoin weaker; it tempers it, like fire hardening steel. Price drops remind me of a bonfire smothered by too much brush…it dims for a moment, gasping for air, before roaring back to life and devouring everything thrown at it. Broader market sentiment doesn’t move me. My conviction doesn’t bend with their fear. My demand isn’t reactive; it’s instinctive, and honestly, I’m happier than a pig in mud watching the impatient get shaken loose.

If you don’t stack the bitcoin discount it will disappear, opportunity waits on no one. Volatility is on its way up and I’m loving it, shake out the weak hands until there’s not a sat to sell for all I care. It’s not chase the money it’s beat the money; if you’re reading this you’re there. Other people are cautiously not stacking, I’ve cautiously increased my sat stacking pace. It’s not just about bitcoin, it’s about what it represents: seizing control of your future in a changing world. Yes, price is volatile, but that’s to be expected; Bitcoin’s monetary policy is extremely predictable compared to alternatives. In a world where you never know what to expect, being able to expect Bitcoin to fill its monetary purpose is invaluable.

Being bearish right now is a talent I lack. The only reason I can even relate to bears is that Bitcoin has always had a seasonal rhythm, and it feels like hibernation should’ve started by now. However, everything else I see looks less like winter and more like the floodgates just haven’t opened yet. History doesn’t repeat, but human nature does. The market is confused, frozen between disbelief and euphoria, yet every day Bitcoin becomes more accessible, more liquid, more inevitable. That accessibility will feed the next great FOMO. The only thing stronger than fear is greed, and if you listen closely, you can already hear the distant rumble of the stampede. I don’t treat the crowd’s behavior as guidance. I’m not trying to end up where the crowd ends up. I stack Bitcoin until I can sleep well at night; most people sell for that same reason. We aren’t the same. I’ve never seen a dip; only a discount. Every time I earn, I convert a good portion into Bitcoin to protect the fruits of my labor. Correlation is often nothing more than synchronized emotion: timing, liquidity, and herd mentality masquerading as logic. Human nature craves patterns, so we invent causation to comfort ourselves…but the truth is, much of what moves markets is a chain reaction of nothingburgers. If you can’t harness others’ fear, how do you ever grow stronger?

Leave leverage to housing; using it for bitcoin is risky business imo. Everything is bought by me for me so no borrowed funds or third party risks. I will happily take these discounted sats as long as they are being offered. It’s patience over panic. DCA into spot BTC and hodl in self custody. No matter what happens your stack is intact. I’m not selling my bitcoin for gold, and sadly I don’t have gold to sell for bitcoin.

The more bitcoin’s price dips the greater my incentive to be productive gets. Sentiment be damned I don’t trust Polymarket’s opinion on btc, 52% odds of going below 100k this month? You can stay scared, but I’ll stick to stacking. Very interested in how Grant Cardone balances btc and re. There’s no second best, but in a world where there’s no bitcoin or I somehow have enough bitcoin the only other thing I’d want is Real Estate. Other than that everything seems extremely mild, boy is boredom fun.

Not much has changed for me, still stacking sats and skills. Dollar price is volatile but not very important I want more sats and Bitcoin provides opportunities with it’s volatility. More Bitcoin and no leverage never hurt anyone. Strictly Bitcoin. I’m not sure I can make that hurdle, I’ve tried by betting on others, now the only way I’d even think of doing it is betting on myself and the value I can provide. Until I hatch my bitcoin goose I’ll have to stay convicted and appreciate these discounted sats while they last, but it’s really a pleasure not a task.
