You know what’s humbling? Watching a child learn to walk They fall Again Again And again They never give up Until one day They can walk Probably a lesson in there… Let’s not be afraid to fail, keep getting up, and try again Onwards 💪🏻

When it was 16k everyone was screaming sub 10k I reckon the 60s and people saying 40s is the same Let’s see

Plebs scrambling to add collateral One I know Liquidation is 61k Needs to come up with 50k asap Ooft

An investment update I wrote last night: So where are we at now? Well markets across the board are very volatile. Oil majors up. Gold and Silver breaking new all-time-highs, then crashing back down. Central Banks have been shrinking balance sheets, but now a form a stealth money printing is being done. It's chaotic when pricing in fiat. Indeed, to be expected when money dies. The Yen carry trade continues to get headlines, overblown in my view, whilst there is talk of war across the board. This year coming up we have mid-terms in the US, and Trumpy will be hell bent on a good economy, and is pushing the Fed at every step to lower interest rates, and pump it up. Let's see what happens. In regards to Bitcoin, I think a sell-off from setting an all-time-high is very healthy, and the next run up will cruise past where we hit. What I am not sure: exactly where price goes over the next 3 months? I think we'll see a lot of support around this 70k usd mark. With Wall St now on board, the guys that don't lose are aligned, they've been making money forever, so I personally feel that Gold and Silver are the canary in the inflationary coal mine, and we'll see Bitcoin tear past all of them.

My expectation is we get a bounce from here Technicals triggering buy alerts

If you can buy btc sub 70k it’s a great deal I reckon

Who’s the SBF of this cycle?

I am yet to get a call from a concerned mate that I talked to about Bitcoin Maybe I will by the end of today Ie it’s not hit normie headlines yet Then it’s max pain

If we’re really going to max pain, we need to see: - Bitcoin treasury cos blow up (over-leveraged) - an exchange or 2 blow up (re-hypothecating altcoins) - an ETF blow up (illegally not 1-1)

Interesting observation of self: - I re-allocated as much capital as possible into Bitcoin in 2022 - by 2025 this had resulted in a “5 bagger” as investors would say - my average cost of coin means that even at these levels it’s over 3x - these are returns unheard of in traditional wealth management - I am incredibly grateful to now re-allocate into a home - but gosh it’s painful to sell knowing you “could have got more” - the allure of a future Bitcoin price far higher is difficult to ignore - I am spending too much time worrying about this - I am working on just enjoying the moment and going with the flow Why explain all this? Well we talking about the hurdle rate, the cost of capital, and how much higher it is on a Bitcoin standard Ooooft How true I am really feeling it now I want to retain as much Bitcoin as possible all the time I know that it remains the best risk/reward opportunity that exists But consider what this means? As more people come to this point, the decision making process for all capital allocation is so different The cost of getting it wrong just got so much higher All the money printing distorts Everything seems “cheap” Well no more The “free lunch” is over People will save more Invest much less And that’s a good thing The return of quality, of durability, of utility, will return to economic decision making, in place of speculation, volatility, and gigantic miss-allocation of capital Keep calm Carry on 🙏🏻
