Maybe we should stop focusing on the #Bitcoin price.

Fiat trains you to sprint. It addicts you to instant gratification. It breeds CEOs who gut companies for quarterly earnings. Politicians who bribe voters with tomorrow’s debt. Banks that gamble today and collapse tomorrow. The result? A culture of rot. Nothing lasts. Everything is disposable. Bitcoin breaks that cycle. It forces patience. It rewards discipline. It teaches you to build for people you’ll never meet, your children’s children. Fiat builds sandcastles. Bitcoin builds cathedrals.

So the UK just gave up?

Freedom isn’t proven on sunny days. It’s proven when the switch flips. When the grid goes dark. When banks freeze accounts. When platforms silence voices. That’s when you find out what’s real and what’s just marketing. Most “freedom” tools collapse under pressure. Fiat fails. Platforms censor. Gatekeepers obey orders. But Bitcoin still settles. Nostr still relays. The signal still gets through. That’s the difference: they control systems built on permission. We use systems built on math.

Fiat worships quarters. #Bitcoin respects centuries. Fiat breeds short-term thinking: CEOs chasing earnings calls, politicians bribing voters with tomorrow’s debt, banks rolling over risk until it explodes. The whole system is addicted to now. Bitcoin is different. Its rules are fixed for generations. Supply is capped. Issuance is predictable. Halvings tick like clockwork long after today’s politicians and corporations are forgotten. Fiat builds sandcastles. Bitcoin builds cathedrals. That’s the real time preference war.

Do corporate #Bitcoin treasuries make you bullish… or do they just smell like fiat ponzi tactics wrapped in orange? Here’s my take: most of these companies are going to fail. Why? Because they’re not holding Bitcoin from a place of conviction. They’re playing the same old fiat games: issuing debt, overleveraging balance sheets, chasing yield. Same tactics that blew up banks, hedge funds, and “crypto” casinos. Bitcoin doesn’t care about their corporate finance gimmicks. It doesn’t bend to quarterly earnings calls. And it sure as hell doesn’t guarantee survival for companies trying to cover up bad fundamentals with “orange coin go up.” Stacking Bitcoin on a rotten balance sheet doesn’t make you strong. It just delays the collapse. The difference is simple: individuals who stack sats in self-custody will still be here in 20 years. Most corporate treasuries won’t.

#Bitcoin doesn’t need corporate treasuries. Corporations need Bitcoin to stay relevant. Don’t confuse the parasite for the host. Every cycle, suits show up late, buy a few billion in BTC, and act like they invented conviction. They didn’t. They’re just trying to stay alive in a system that’s eating itself. Bitcoin runs with or without them. Blocks keep coming. Hashrate keeps rising. The protocol doesn’t care if a Fortune 500 joins in or not. That’s the beauty: Bitcoin isn’t a stock. It doesn’t need brand endorsements or PR campaigns. It’s neutral, apolitical, unstoppable. Corporations aren’t here to “help Bitcoin.” They’re here because they finally realized Bitcoin is the only lifeboat left. And when the tide goes out, we’ll see who was stacking for freedom… and who was just stacking for quarterly earnings.

U.S government to take an ownership stake in a public listed company. Atlas Shrugged vibes.

#Bitcoin isn't a get rich quick story. It is a stay-rich slowly story.

When your #Bitcoin thesis depends on Michael Saylor’s next issuance, you’re not stacking sats, you’re stacking counterparty risk. Bitcoin was built to remove middlemen. To free you from CEOs, boards, banks, and the rest of the circus. Yet somehow, people cheer when another corporation “buys the dip,” as if their balance sheet is your safety net. That isn’t Bitcoin. That’s dependency dressed up as conviction. Corporate treasuries can dump. ETFs can freeze. Bond markets can implode. None of that changes Bitcoin’s rules, but it can wreck anyone who builds their faith on someone else’s balance sheet. Bitcoin doesn’t care about quarterly earnings or shareholder votes. It just keeps producing blocks, every 10 minutes, no matter what Saylor or BlackRock decide to do. You don’t need a billionaire to validate your conviction. You need keys. You need self-custody. You need to own it yourself. Because stacking sats beats stacking counterparty risk. Every time.
