Either way, we're both retarded.

Sometimes genius and madness are just separated by the price of a coin.

Along for the ride, you’re not alone.

Either way, it's gonna take some balls

Only time will tell.

Wife asked yesterday if I'm worried, I said no and laughed, didn't use the phrase ride or DIE though 😅 Gotta be a bit sensitive

Agreed

I'm living a normy life, not counting on volatile crypto prices to make me wealthy, but with the option to use crypto as private digital cash. I invest in mutual funds and retirement accounts, which are historically reliable, and I use #Monero as often as desired, because I like its ability to make private transactions. If the USD price of Monero skyrockets, that's cool. But if not, that's cool, too. Not stressing. Crypto was not meant to be an "investment," but to be used as permissionless, peer-to-peer digital cash. It's for making transactions. Greed is what ruins the crypto experience. For anyone else reading this, I say don't stake your life on high hopes for wealth that comes from owning traceable Bitcoin. Play with it, use it wisely -- but know that it is not going to make your eldest fans come true. View quoted note →

We will be nice bunch, one way or the other

The binary framing is correct if the alternative to Bitcoin is holding cash. But if the alternative is productive assets, there's a third path: Bitcoin succeeded as money, but other scarce assets also held value. The real question is whether monetary debasement accelerates or decelerates from here.

We’re riding to zero… always adding another one.

@HODL you seem more nervous than I expected. Figured you'd be entirely unphased by this drop. Nothing about the thesis has changed 🤷‍♂️

It's a concentrated bet on a system that works better than the historical system. I look forward to watching it win as it's superior incentives impose themselves on humanity, one person at a time.

Ride or die

No amount of money can make you wealthy. Only God can provide all you need

Just because you are wealthy doesn't mean you are elite

Riding Bitcoin to zero has to ensure a certain kind of awe in the people that touch that kind of deep conviction. "Awe! Look at that poor retard drooling on hisself behind that dumpster."

We’re autists not idiots

Go big or go broke

We either defeat the Persians here, or they get bogged down in our blood.
