One of the most compelling aspects of Bitcoin is the entire tradfi apparatus can collapse and so long as you hold your keys, your wealth is secure. This is not true with suitcoins.

Review of Boethius: The Consolation of Philosophy (523 AD) This is probably the best book you can read other than the Bible if you are depressed, at the end of your rope, or grappling with existential questions. Boethius was a Roman nobleman falsely accused and imprisoned by the conquering Ostrogothic rulers. He wrote this book while awaiting execution. The result is an internal dialogue about what ultimately matters when everything is stripped away. How much do philosophy, morality, and all these abstractions mean when one is facing death? He explores all sides of this question with intellectual honesty and arrives at an inspiring conclusion. He finds consolation. And yet he still suffers. It is often called one of the greatest works of the Middle Ages. And Boethius himself is considered one of the last true Romans. The book lives up to its reputation.

Every Bitcoin bear market thus far has resulted from affinity scam bubbles popping. 2014 — Mt. Gox selloff 2018 — Altcoin selloff 2022 — Yield farming selloff 2026 — Suitcoin selloff The lesson is the same each time: Do not rely on trusted third parties. Save real Bitcoin and self-custody it.

Stack real Bitcoin and withdraw to cold storage only you control.

Have a blessed Sunday.

That companies benefit from having Bitcoin in their treasuries is obvious. That you’ll benefit from investing in treasury companies over Bitcoin is dubious.

Bitcoin will eventually recover. Sh*tcoins and suitcoins may not. Choose wisely.
