Made it out to DC for the Bitcoin Policy Institute event. Travel certainly has to be worth it now-a-days, and it was. Stopped by the library of congress and picked up a researchers pass. 💯 #PayAttentiontoBitcoin

Designed a bitcoin presentation today. After writing a book it only felt appropriate to distill it and present it. Shooting for 30-45min. image

It took Ray Nelson six pages of concept thinking in “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” to generate what John Carpenter would turn into the all-time great 80’s cult classic “They Live”. Short stories make worlds.

I think abou this scene an unusual amount. How “getting out” translates in a bitcoin-as-money (or gold) type world. How to generate an FU ability on an asset with no yield. How to “cash out” when cashing out may be the mistake… and I’ve landed on this: BTC is the nest egg dont sell most of it. If the world is frothy in its valuation of BTC peel off a very modest amount and dump it into $STRF (or something similar). Rake 10% in cash on that in perpetuity and repeat every bull cycle. Meanwhile continue to purchase BTC with earnings with target of closing the depleted gap. Furthermore, I’ve decided against levering bitcoin for a cash loan because one, the rates suck and two, even if you can refi the loan in a year for twice the amount and use the new loan to repay the old loan yer still sitting on a 2X increase in amount owed and will have to find a way to generate the debt eventually (possibly in a bear), which means either with muscle or selling corn. Lastly, to me it’s better to: 1. Moderately peel during top cycles (5-10%) 2. Generate passive perpetual fiat inflows (8-10%) 3. Continue to buy recurringly with every pay check and potentially make up the lost corn during the bear (20-45% draw downs) 4. At which point you’ll have the same or greater stack size and regular income to buffer against needing to sell in the future 💪🤷‍♂️💸💯🚀😤

@npub15dql...lm5m on AI is so GOATED🐐😤 “Look at every single publically traded company and get me the open interest divided by their market cap, and the liquidity and the trend of the liquidity, and tell me where we stand. Click. Okay, and the next step will be why don’t you just do that every day.” #Strategy #PayAttentiontoBitcoin
