1 BTC = 1 BTC Just make sure you actually get one!

🚨 Harvard Economist Humbled 🚨 In 2018, Harvard’s Kenneth Rogoff said bitcoin was more likely to hit $100 than $100k. Fast forward: bitcoin didn’t crash—it ripped through $100k and has stayed there for 100+ days. Rogoff was off by three orders of magnitude. His excuse now? The world is just too dumb. 🤡 His argument rested on three pillars: 1️⃣ Mostly for criminals 2️⃣ Governments would regulate it away 3️⃣ No utility without illicit use All wrong. Governments didn’t ban bitcoin—they’re adopting it. Corporations, sovereigns, and millions of individuals hold it. Even Harvard just disclosed a $100M+ allocation to BlackRock’s ETF $IBIT. 🫠 Rogoff also called bitcoin’s role in the $20T underground economy a flaw. It’s actually proof of concept: it works when you need it most—remittances, broken currencies, censorship, sanctions. If it works there, it works everywhere. So why do Ivy League elites keep missing it? Their worldview depends on trusting the system. They can’t imagine it failing. But bitcoin doesn’t care about diplomas or credentials. Reality is the ultimate rebuttal. Even Harvard’s endowment has already voted—with $100M+. 👉 I dive deeper into this in FIRE BTC #44—covering why elites dismiss bitcoin, Jesse Myers’ “yuppie elite” framework, and why the underground economy is validation, not a bug. 📩 Read it & subscribe free here:

FIRE BTC #44 - Bad bitcoin takes from Ivy League elites

Reminder: if you’re spending dollars, you’re spending sats you could have saved. Spending itself is the real opportunity cost.

Hot take: bitcoiners who reach FI should live in luxury to give others a vision to strive for.

IBIT is BlackRock’s most profitable ETF ever, and Uncle Larry Fink LOVES it. BlackRock makes more money when bitcoin pumps, and you’re bearish, anon?!?

Bitcoin is the most obvious thing on the planet. Perfectly fixed supply, networked, digital money vs unlimited, permissioned, debt-based fiat garbage. How tf are you still on 0.0% allocation??

Almost ready

“I like bitcoin, buy my shitcoin”

There is way more risk in being under-allocated to bitcoin than there is in being over-allocated.

3.25 BTC coming my way any day now

How many of these people have the majority of their net worth tied up in their homes instead of in liquid assets? 🤔

You should be happy with every day that goes by where the US government doesn’t buy bitcoin.

I have it in good authority that you are not bullish enough.

It’s cute to think the Fed is independent. The reality is that they exist at the pleasure of the government and will always fall back to facilitating its whims.

Buying a rental property is an extremely risky, difficult, and highly leveraged way to make an extra $300 per month.

As public companies add bitcoin to their balance sheets, index funds gain exposure by default. That means passive capital flows into these stocks, fueling more bitcoin buys. It’s a feedback loop, and it’s happening in real time. This flywheel is already spinning. 📈 Index inclusion → passive flows 🪙 Passive flows → more BTC buys 🔁 More BTC buys → price appreciation I break it down in this week’s FIRE BTC newsletter. 🔗

🛌 The Era of Passive Bitcoin Flows

FIRE BTC #42 - Bitcoin exposure for everyone

💧 The era of passive bitcoin flows has begun. 401(k)s, ETFs, and corporate treasuries are piping bitcoin into portfolios. Millions will soon own BTC without lifting a finger — or even knowing it. This flywheel is unstoppable: Index buying → more BTC on balance sheets → bigger index weights → more inflows → repeat. Even the FIRE crowd stacking $VTI already owns bitcoin today, whether they like it or not.
