Prediction for 2030:
Normies will look back on how cheap everything was in 2026.
Bitcoiners will look back on how expensive everything was in 2026.
Few.
You should stop trying to orange-pill people in a single conversation.
Try to spark their curiosity.
But give them time to reach their own conclusions over time.
Nobody has ever bought Bitcoin because their cousin trapped them at dinner with a 47-slide presentation
Bad part: No custody solution is 100% secure.
Good part: Custody risk can be managed.
You don't have to rely on only one wallet, one device or one custody model.

A global monetary network now holds a trillion dollars.
But the public debate around it still begins and ends with price action.
If you're thinking about buying a $5 coffee today.
Remember it's 7,975 sats.
This will help you understand
whether you really want the coffee or not.
If you still think it's worth it,
then go ahead and enjoy your coffee!
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
What doesn't kill Bitcoin makes Bitcoin stronger.
To those affected by the Coldcard failure,
I know you are suffering at the moment.
But both you and Bitcoin will eventually come out of this stronger.
Bitcoin ETFs are far from risk free.
Self-custody bitcoin is far from risk free
There isn't one common best solution for every individual.
Each custody setup comes with its pros and cons.

Bitcoin Self-Custody After the Coldcard Crisis | Myntad
The Coldcard crisis exposed a serious hardware-wallet failure, but it does not invalidate Bitcoin self-custody. Learn how ETFs, hardware wallets an...
The Coldcard crisis shows that self-custody can fail.
It does not prove that Bitcoin ETFs are safer.
The uncomfortable lesson:

If you want to become wealthy, build these 3 things:
1. Strong relationships.
2. A profitable business.
3. A growing Bitcoin stack.
Do this consistently, and you’ll be ahead of most people.
Make no mistake:
Most people won't hold through -51%.
But you, my friend, will keep your bitcoin.
Enjoy the coming bull run. 
You’re in a filter bubble.
Go out on the street and ask 7 random people to explain Bitcoin.
Most will be clueless,
possibly mumbling "crypto".
We are still very early.
The most simple hack
to stack more Bitcoin:
Start using Bitcoin
as your Unit of Account.
A coffee isn't $5.
It's 7,932 sats.
This will make you
think twice before spending.
Don't learn the wrong lesson from the Coldcard hack.
This is NOT your sign to migrate Bitcoin to custodial solutions.
Hold bitcoin in self-custody,
but make sure your setup is secure.
Maintaining a secure setup is a continous process.
Today is a good time to review yours.
If you're still holding on to your Bitcoin in the midst of the -51% bear market,
Congratulations!
You're doing better than most.
If you want to make an impact outside the Bitcoin bubble,
Ask to pay with bitcoin.
Even if they say no,
you’ve made one person a bit more aware.
As a Bitcoiner, you want to tell everyone about Bitcoin.
But most normies don't even recognize the problem Bitcoin adresses.
They think 2% inflation is healthy,
or they simply don't care.
This belief must be challenged.
Even though it's an uphill battle.
I had a dream,
Bitcoin was the King among assets.
Then I woke up,
Bitcoin was still king.
You’re in an echo chamber.
Walk outside and ask 10 normal people what Bitcoin actually is.
Most will give you a blank stare or a meme answer.
We are still extremely early.
