What's your opinion on memorising your seed phrase? There are some that say you could be tortured out of it? Others that that's Bitcoin's ultimate power. What does NOSTR think? #asknostr

Sometimes I feel like I should either be in a mental asylum or I’m 30 years ahead and waiting for the world to catch up. Living in the normie world is so strange sometimes.

Why Buying a Home Might Be a Bad Idea in the Bitcoin Era Buying a home ties up your capital in an illiquid, slow-growing asset. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is portable, liquid, and has vastly outperformed real estate over the past decade. Homeownership also comes with hidden costs: maintenance, taxes, insurance, and the risk of local market crashes. Meanwhile, renting gives flexibility, and the savings can be stacked in Bitcoin—a deflationary asset that protects your wealth and offers exponential growth potential. Don’t settle for “safe.” Opt for freedom and growth. Rent, stack sats, and build financial sovereignty.

How does any of this make sense whatsoever? If you replace these nations with companies or even individuals they would be beyond salvation. This is the world the boomers are leaving us, it's time for a change. Because as Lyn says, nothing stops this train.

Anybody working an a chess app where one could play for sats? #asknostr Obviously I wouldn't play against @jack mallers

Why has Mr. Saylor been accumulating like a madman the past few months? Wasn't the 21/21 plan supposed to be executed in the next couple of years, not months? What does he know that we don't? Maybe, just maybe, that MSTR IS the SBR?

2024 was year one of institutional Bitcoin. The year that Bitcoin truly established itself as a must-own asset. But 2025 will take things to a new level. The ETFs are the superhighway that allow trillions of dollars of capital to flow into Bitcoin. But the greatest ETF launch of all time is just the starter. Wall Street has taken note of the energy and excitement around BTC. And they see the massive opportunity to create a whole new suite of Bitcoin products. Microstrategy has proven how much demand there is for structured products that offer varying degrees of Bitcoin exposure. And the growing base of hodlers is a huge untapped market for lending products done right. Once the rules change, banks will enter the Bitcoin lending game. These products will make holding Bitcoin even more attractive, and will make selling unnecessary. The largest institutions in the world are all on board. It's a massive growth opportunity for them. And now that they have a supportive administration - we should expect things to accelerate in 2025. A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could arrive by late January. If it includes a purchase program, then you better rethink everything you think you know about Bitcoin "cycles" There will still be volatility both ways. But Bitcoin being aggressively bid by the United States is a completely different asset than Bitcoin being bid by Joe Blow who heard about it from his barber. And it will need to be repriced accordingly. We're at $100K and it's still the very beginning of this journey. Less than 1 year after ETF launch. You need to be bullish. You need to be optimistic. You understood this before the big guys arrived. Now it's time to reap the rewards.

If you live like you're broke and stack sats like you’ve got nothing to lose you’ll win like you never imagined.

Life will always try to shake you out. Your beliefs must be tested. Otherwise how could you ever call them convictions? Most people crumble at the slightest adversity. But Bitcoiners that held through multiple crashes, bear markets, and end-of-days headlines have already proven they're built different. They've come through the fire stronger and wealthier than before. If you're new here, you will need to go through a similar journey. There's no other way. But the beautiful thing about holding Bitcoin is that you don't need to time it. This isn't an asset you need to trade in and out of. It's on a decades-long journey to becoming the neutral store of value asset of choice. And that journey will be filled with volatility. But just remember that every single "top" has been a local top. Stay focused on the long-term trend and remember what you own. One day when we're down over $100,000 from a high of $1,080,000 - you'll be the one telling people to keep calm.

You think you're bullish. But then you realize BTC is at $102K and it’s still barely owned by the investing masses. They're passively shoveling hundreds of billions into US equities every year. Heck, most of them are still bidding the infinite supply of government bonds. Zero BTC exposure is the NORM. But that ends starting this week. Everyone bidding Nasdaq will be bidding BTC via MicroStrategy. First a trickle, then a deluge. Six figure Bitcoin will be looked at with nostalgia sooner than you think.
