Here is what happened in 2025, I genuinely believe that OGs from the 2011–2014 era were distributing large portions of their holdings while, at the same time, sovereign wealth funds, banks, and centralized institutions were accumulating. The net effect remained negative in the short term because legacy supply overhang outweighed incremental institutional inflows during the transition phase. I am not sure how much inventory OGs still hold, but if they were full maxis after a decade of accumulation, supply likely remains. At the same time, adoption and structural demand have more than doubled. This is why the bear market was effectively masked and why the traditional four year cycle framework is breaking down. 2026 is structurally biased upward. 2025 gave you the opportunity to accumulate and you should have taken it. I know I did. I nearly doubled my stack.

How disappointed would you be if Bitcoin took until 2030 to reach $500k?

First to find 5 words I will zap you some satoshis

The hardest lesson of this decade Everything takes longer than expected. A few examples AI is advancing faster than regulation can adapt, especially in self driving. Bitcoin fixes money, but understanding moves at a human pace. Energy transitions are constrained by physics, infrastructure, and politics. Progress compounds quietly, then suddenly.

Bitcoin being extremely boring and bearish right now is pretty bullish if you ask me

The quantum fud is getting insane...

Bitcoin is giving you a 1 to 100 odds. a 100x if you will, BTC is still tiny as an asset class and you already have the information. A decade of global monetization can turn every 1 into 100 as trillions reprice into a finite 21M supply. This window will not stay open.

No empire remains immune to seismic technological shifts. Nations can no longer ignore Bitcoin without risking their own relevance. History repeats itself in tragic patterns. Dominant powers collapse because they underestimate the arrival of new forces that rewrite the rules of civilization. The next rewrite is already happening. The USA must make Bitcoin a priority. Owning more BTC, building massive mining power, and securing cheap nuclear energy will determine who leads the future. Anyone who ignores it gives away their future to those who understand what is coming. Bitcoin rewards those who act first.

plus inflation

Bitcoin left the halving "era" behind. Miner output feels microscopic next to the unstoppable river of capital pouring in every year. ETFs/Treasuries act like industrial vacuums that devour supply before it ever touches the market. Nations, banks, and institutions are no longer testing the waters. That is why Bitcoin will become the apex monetary asset. This pressure builds relentlessly. This bends price upward with a strength that grows stronger the longer it continues. We are inside a structural expansion with no ceiling. The super cycle is alive. We get volatility along the way because information flows unevenly and certain players try to tilt the board in their favor.

Be patient with ₿.

Everything takes time. Every meaningful transformation in human history required patience, conviction, and the ability to ignore the noise of the present. People rush into trends, chase shortcuts, and panic during volatility. Bitcoin rewards the opposite mindset. It trains you to think in years instead of days, to value discipline over emotion, to understand that true change happens slowly and then suddenly. The world wakes up in waves. The impatient look for quick flips while the patient accumulate something that never bends to their emotions. History never rewards those who quit early. Bitcoin belongs to those who understand time. Keep learning. Keep stacking. Let time work for you.

Why are OGs parting way with so much bitcoin? is it because this is the first time in history in which liquidity is available?

Bitcoin sits at the top of the digital economy. It acts as pristine savings property. Stablecoins handle daily spending. Tokenized assets turn every stock and piece of equity into something that moves instantly across the internet. Add artificial intelligence accelerating productivity and you get a financial engine unlike anything in history. The world will pour value into the asset that protects wealth better than anything else. Bitcoin becomes the anchor of this new system and grows without limit.

After the recent volatility event and the new $MSTR USD reserve, What are your honest thoughts on $STRC and the other preferreds?

I dont know about OGs anymore... They are still in the space, but I dont feel they have the same stake as before. They sold most of their coins, which means their incentives are no longer aligned with the network. You can see it now in the way they write, talk, and express themselves in relation to Bitcoin. We are creating a new foundation for Bitcoin. Better or worse, it is new, and we have to stay vigilant around the social layer of Bitcoin. Regardless, Bitcoin is meant to be attacked, and it will survive anything, but diligence will be needed in this decade.

We work jobs we hate, to buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like. We break free when we stop trading our time for a collapsing currency. Bitcoin flips the script because it lets you store the outcome of your work in something that can’t be diluted, manipulated, or engineered to keep you running in circles. When money stops decaying, life stops feeling like a treadmill.

A gold bar can be stuffed with tungsten and still hit the exact weight because the density matches. That alone shows why nobody trusts gold in the real world. Bitcoin removes that entire problem.

Imagine 126k really was the top. which i doubt it completely! From the 69k top in 2021 to 126k over about 4 years, CAGR is ≈16%. From the 15k bottom to 126k you got ≈8.1x. That is ≈+713%. 10k turned into ≈81k. Even a lump sum at 40k did ≈3.15x to 126k, ≈+215%. At 60k you still did ≈2.1x, ≈+110%. Now price is 86k. The move to 100k is 14k, only ≈+16.3%. That is a normal candle for this asset. The real game is not sniping the perfect bottom. The real edge is staying solvent and convicted through violent swings so you can harvest multi cycle compounding where tops still give you mid-teens CAGR and bottoms quietly hand out 5x to 10x. At 86k you are not late. You are inside the noise around a 100k magnet in an asset that already paid ≈700% this cycle. so imagine 2026 From 86k you still have ≈74 to ≈133 percent upside to 150k to 200k. Even the “modest” 150k path keeps you in equity fund crushing territory.

OK freeze their savings. Tell them inflation is temporary. Let prices double anyway. Now blame supply chains. Tell them cash is trash. Then tell them Bitcoin is a bubble. Now hit them with negative real yields. Push everyone into index funds. Pull the rug with rate hikes. Pretend the currency is stable. Juice the deficits. Monetize everything. Let the debt climb past the point of no return. OK now explain to them why they cannot retire. Tell them to work until seventy. Tell them it is their fault.
