Bitcoin cycles are a thing of the past, they broke, no argument.
And do you think mining halving-protocol matters still? Do you?
And do you think your fav OG’s still hold more Bitcoin than you do?
Do you?
I’m asking a question?
Do you think Max Keiser still holds more than, say, 10 Bitcoin still? Or any at all? And if so…why? What would be the reason, really?
Do you think Adam Back, Andreas Antonopoulos, yadda yadda et al…any of the original Bitcoiners are still holding more Bitcoin than you? Instead of having upgraded their life in fiat, and dispersed to heirs? Keep in mind that for them, taxes aren’t a thing…so what incentive to hodl instead of trade for real estate, prominence, access via largesse, et al et al et al in El Salvador, Hong Kong, et al et al et al?
That’s what I would have done. If I’d been a 1000+ Bitcoiner from pre-KYC days. And incentives will out.
So:
Cycles are broken. Because Cycles were “Retail”, and Retail is and was Bitcoin’s history, but is now done. Fuck the famous people of Bitcoin anymore, because they have substantially sodl’d and have nothing more to offer. Not to me, imo.
Bitcoin is no longer a person thing, so personally, I don’t care about the “people” of Bitcoin. I encourage you to stop listening to them as well.
It’s an institutional thing now. Individuals have and are being fleeced by Retail. And that “fleecing” is a long game, because institutions aren’t “people”, and are very, very good at causing long-term suffering, titillation, suffering, titillation, et all until Retail gives it’s fleece up to them. They can do this ad infinitum because they aren’t people, they live their greatest lives on a fiat paycheck, not caring how the markets perform, so long as they don’t personally lose their job.
So the situation for Bitcoin right now sucks. And it sucks hard. And it won’t end soon. None of us will get rich and quit our jobs in the next few years. The era for that is over, so get that potential out of your mind.
Bitcoin is unique. So very unique that less than 1% of people on this planet understand how important it will be for our lives, and for Human history. It uniquely matters, for so many reasons I won’t go into for the inexperienced, in this post.
The only goal now is to make Bitcoin the chief investment for your family, and MOST ESPECIALLY to take it into Self-Custody. Do this, consistently and persistently, and do it with no expectation that you will achieve anything more than a comfortable retirement.
We can’t beat Wall Street. We simply don’t have the “fiat” to 10x Bitcoin in a few years like individuals did in the past. We aren’t players now. We are the hodler sheep they need to fleece.
So forget getting rich, unless getting rich is a 3x by 2030. And if you think you can shitcoin riches, go fuck yourself and your family, Wall St traders will fleece shitcoins even faster than Bitcoin. We NEED to accept that the bitcoin millionaires were made, and they are not us. Maybe our children will be, and we absolutely should invest for that future since there is no other asset worth investing for our children. But we need to be clear that WE will not be quitting our jobs in the next few years. Even though we’re investing in the best asset that exists.
Bitcoiners are legion, and we are humble. That is a powerful, powerful quality of Tribe. It should be embraced and we should expect that it may be the very thing that most changes the World in the next decade or so. The world needs this quality, is yearning for this quality of tribe, and nothing but Bitcoin is offering it. The riches of being a Bitcoiner may truly be the friends we make along the way…
Yet the global money-printers want Bitcoin itself, and they never fomo, because they don’t care about fiat-price / market forces. They’ll buy and suppress the price of the most important and constant asset on the planet for as long as they must. For 100’s of years if need be. To take our Bitcoins away from us. Because their petty human lives won’t change one way or the other so long as they’re already rich in fiat.
So long as the Fiat tide stays level, they can hodl their breath for a looooong time.
