Dear Lord, if they are torturing bitcoiners right now… WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY FIND OUT ABOUT BITCOIN TREASURERS?!?? Torture, but every Bitcoin > Bitcoin… so torture + the premium?? Yikes! image

As someone who holds over 500k bitcoinies I can relate to Saylor’s struggles to provide proof of reserves. It’s crazy how I tell people I have $55 billion with insane upside and they want…proof?!? SO WHAT YOU DONT BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY SOMETHING?!? The audacity.

Instead of traditional bear markets, consider Bitcoin's periodic molts: a necessary shedding of inefficiencies that ultimately strengthen it. Its apparent vulnerabilities are, in fact, integral to its evolution. While I anticipate further turbulence, I'm confident that these trials will only lead to a more robust Bitcoin. image

Bitcoin treasury bro? No stack your own sats and treasure life bro. Life is too short to stack sats for another man.

(This is a post for X that I’m sharing with primal, I think everyone on here is less regarded, so this just serves as a current state of things on X) Maxi->pragmatic bitcoiner->shitcoiner. Seems only smooth brains and weak morals are threatened: fiat larps obviously. No true maxi would revert and there’s barely any true maxis left on x imo, just engagement farming, rage bait, and cash grabs

Perceived scarcity and potential scarcity are worlds apart. Most people still have no idea how truly scarce Bitcoin is, and that ignorance keeps it perpetually undervalued. Sure, there are degrees of undervaluation, but for something this finite and disruptive, there’s no price I’d consider too high to keep buying. image

Speculative asset or mathematical certainty? Ever notice people only move in one direction on the matter, never back? That’s not luck. That’s clarity. image

The meta memes make themselves! The cool thing about no algos is no suppression. I’ll keep posting on Twitter/x for sentimental reasons and friends but it doesn’t treat me like it used to. Tired of being a wuzbird, proud to be a nostrich.

Bitcoin trading below $110K now feels surprisingly inexpensive, given how rapidly bullish sentiment is accelerating. Optimism is so intense it borders on euphoria, raising the question: are investors and market infrastructure truly prepared for the turbulence that would accompany a move to $150K? image

Alchemy flips the natural order: it turns something cheap (lead) into something expensive (gold).  Fiat money does the exact same  in a single keystroke…​it turns nothing into billions. That’s worse, because the new money silently steals buying power from everyone who already earned theirs. Gold suffers under this “replication.” We can dig up more, mint more coins, or promise paper claims on gold that don’t exist. Bitcoin, by design, can’t be cloned or inflated: 21 million coins, full stop. Anyone with a node can count every bitcoin in existence. You can’t do that with gold bars in vaults you’ll never see. Bitcoin moves across the globe in minutes and settles finally.​ Gold needs armored trucks, or a trusted ledger that brings us back to paper promises. Software eats the world; energy and computation secure the network. Productive people building tomorrow’s economy naturally prefer a money that lives natively in that same digital realm. If alchemy shows how easy it is to debase gold, fiat shows how easily value can be stolen outright. Bitcoin closes that loophole once and for all. In 2025, for anyone creating real value with their work, stacking sats is no longer a speculation; it’s self defense for your time, talent, and future. image

Unlike gold, which reflects physical scarcity and industrial demand, or stock indices that price in corporate earnings, Bitcoin represents something fundamentally different. Its price is shaped by a unique fusion of ideology, economics, and technology. It isn’t just digital gold; it’s a decentralized barometer of trust, scarcity, and friction in the global financial system. Bitcoin’s volatility reveals a market still discovering how to value this new form of asset. It’s not unstable because it’s broken, but because it’s early: still calibrating itself as a pricing mechanism in a world that’s never seen anything like it. What makes Bitcoin compelling is its asymmetric upside. Its fixed supply, increasing adoption, and utility as a hedge against fiat debasement give it a long term edge few assets can match. Current sentiment is cautiously optimistic. Bullish narratives around scarcity and long horizon conviction are stronger than the caution about potential cycle tops. Demand flows from institutions through ETFs, from individuals through self-custody, and from macro pressures that expose the fragility of traditional systems. Risks remain: geopolitical shocks, regulatory clampdowns, and environmental debates…but they no longer define the story. Bitcoin’s price is not just about what it’s worth, but about what the world is becoming. As legacy systems strain under the weight of their own contradictions, Bitcoin isn’t just surviving, it’s revealing. It exposes trust gaps, misaligned incentives, and the cracks in monetary foundations. In that mirror, we don’t just see a number…we see a choice, an alternative to doom: hope. image

The Wisconsin Investment Board has liquidated all of its Bitcoin exposure. Calling them paper hands would be generous…they never actually held Bitcoin itself, only indirect exposure through ETFs. What’s puzzling is that they sold their Bitcoin linked stocks but chose to keep their shares in MicroStrategy. That decision is hard to square. The seeming opposite of Jim Chanos, are they trying to pump the premium? Nah, too much of a big brain move for someone selling sats. Still, every time someone sells, it creates an opportunity for stronger hands to step in. The churn is part of what makes this market exciting. What doesn’t kill Bitcoin only hardens its resilience. It’s a strange chain of accumulation we are seeing: they buy Bitcoin for MSTR and BlackRock, MSTR and BlackRock buy BTC for Coinbase, Coinbase supplies whoever’s on the other end: institutions, black markets, or hackers. And here I am, stuck in the middle with you. image

Whales move, and the herd follows. I find Bitcoin whale activity interesting, but it’s clear that many of their moves, especially large sell offs, are designed to manipulate the market. I choose not to play that game. I don’t have the capital to move markets, and reacting to those who do rarely works out well. Still, people fall for it all the time. I don’t follow others; I follow my own plan. That plan is simple: take profits into Bitcoin through any productive and sustainable means available. I don’t try to time the market; I focus on time in the market. So far, that approach has brought more than just financial growth…it’s been a personal transformation. And that growth seems to be compounding, regardless of Bitcoin’s short term price. image
