Bitcoiners will probably have the last laugh

Portfolio manager (EM debt, rates, FX). De- vs centralisation is the left/right of our age. Bitcoin, markets, life, family etc. Writing into the void
When I sense something is written by AI, I stop reading instantly
If we get a new market crash, don’t underestimate the probability that Bitcoin responds to liquidity faster than before and just skips the whole initial drawdown thing. Not a certainty but a possibility
Higher low, sorry gold freaks


Europe always lands on its feet btw. Gloating about a temporarily complex situation it faces is misunderstanding the continent. These types of challenges are like breathing in and out for it.
People look down on office work, but I’ve always enjoyed it. As long as you’re in there suffering together with likeminded and energetic people it builds a sort of camaraderie that’s quite special
Bitcoin is higher than when the Iran attacks began, btw.
Fed balance sheet has been expanding again since December. Given that, we’re likely to be in conditions where bitcoin resumes its path up. Maybe at best interrupted by a brief out-of-pattern March 2020 like shock. But there’s a non zero chance we’re already at the worst of that
You should take note of the exact people who conclude “BlackRock is collapsing” from a private credit fund with <0.2% of the firm’s AUM gating outflows. They are unlikely to understand anything about anything so are best never again paid attention to. Filtering opps must be used
Once financial centers that were once seen as a safe haven start being threatened, you might actually see a bid under BTC emerging
Patiently waiting for all the tradmedia articles highlighting Bitcoin’s relative strength compared to everything else and how we’re going back to 100k. They must be coming any moment now (crickets)
99% of people think of Bitcoin as an investment.
But the real story is that it's off the grid digital money. Wealth that is outside of their system.
I own a property in Europe, knowing full well that if I ever sell it (7 figures), I will not be able to take that money and do what I want with it without talking to 10 compliance people or being treated like a criminal.
I also know that if I don't sell, the government is coming to milk me for the house for eternity (because god forbid you own a house whose value has gone up exponentially due to infinite money printing, you absolute capitalist criminal swine), as well as for whatever I have stashed away in stocks and so on.
Wealth taxes, exit taxes, international taxes, unrealised capital gains taxes and other forms of confiscation await all of us. If you don't understand how that relates to Bitcoin and why you should care about it beyond oh muh god the number went up or muh ETF flows and mah DeFi, then i truly can't help you. You're being played by the system.
Removed Bitcoin price from my stocks app, my Bloomberg, the ticker I used to have on top of my desktop. In disgust.
I refuse to buy or sell anything and we could literally be at zero tomorrow for all I care. This odd autistic behaviour usually marks the bottom.
Used these last months to restructure and recalibrate my BTC stack for an unfriendlier world.
I really don’t mind the bitcoin volatility and drawdowns. -80% is par for the course. But what I could never find peace with were the manipulative wicks before/after close of a timeframe. If you’re participating in this, fuck you.
We’re exit taxing - has my citizen got hidden bitcoins?
Soon coming to a western European government near you


The boring reality of AI in the workplace is you just need to make sure to utilise it in such a way that keeps you ahead of the curve.
If the majority of your colleagues are like “wow I can have it write my emails” and gain 1.2% productivity with that, then if you’re having it summarise research that makes you 10% more productive you’re in a safe spot.
If you’re using it to build tools that up your output 100%, you’re likely safe for at least a decade to come.
How hard is it to imagine that in the age of AI and exponential tech advances a digital currency emerges from a non-traditional origin?
To me it’s very odd that this thing which came up in harmony and synchrony with the above gets denied even when staring people in the eyes at $67k.
One thing you have to understand about western democracies is all policies are deliberate and related.
These countries don’t function as real democracies anymore for the most part, and the globalist ruling elites aim to suffocate them with a blanket of measures that they present as haphazard, random, by circumstance and unrelated that are actually anything but.
Take WEF colony the Netherlands, which is a global testing ground. The aim there is:
- endless foreigners to replace the locals to have an increasingly dumb, meek and ugly population
- propagandise against eating meat for the same reason
- salary effectively capped at caloric necessity through >50% taxes
- unrealized cap gains tax, so there can be no wealth build-up / there is active wealth breakdown
- exit tax to hermetically seal things off financially
- social media blocked to prevent people learning it doesn’t have to be like this
And voila: you have a pretty dystopian place to live in, but the citizens are forever dumb, weak and poor. Perfect cattle for the ruling class. This is all deliberate.
The “4m Bitcoin will get dumped because of quantum” story neatly separates investors/traders from the people who deeply understand bitcoin. I shed no tears for this being the latest hurdle that will throw a bunch of the former off the rodeo
