After 11 years I can tell you unfortunately hodling only gets harder as you go

It's a ton of mental power being used lol
I imagine so, even if I have only 15 months since my first Sats.
Y yo solo llevo 5 años 😮
Your supposed to let go and distribute some #bitcoin
It how we get new people into bitcoin, so they can practice the Hodl for 10+ years
It how we, break the fiat chains
Spedn em. Bitties are us no use in the grave.
I use the @npub1546j...f9mt strategy. I have my stack and I have my day today day money. I will only use my stack if I really need to or when I stop working.
I am hoping to retire early!
No mistakes in the HODL, not like life, it’s simple , that’s what make the HODL so great, if you make a mistake, get all HODLED up, you just HODL on 🤟🏻👊🏻
True… the longer you’re in, the heavier the conviction gets.
But that’s also when you realise, you’re not just hodling sats, you’re hodling time, freedom and a future nobody can debase.

This year has been the worst, 2022 was easier to mentally deal with IMO
The weight gets heavier, but so does the conviction. Battle-tested hodlers are built, not born.. that's why the rewards go to the who endure 🧡💯
We came for the gains but stayed for the revolution.
Probably because you don't have enough fiat to hedge the pain of volatility.
If you had 24 months of your cost of living in fiat/strc, would it be as hard as it is ?
It's simple but not easy
Interesting. Tell us more. Why?
Whats Simon’s strategy exactly ?
doing nothing can be really hard
disagree.
as time goes on, the world proves us correct.
Then you regret not fully harnessing the upwards volatility 😭
Super simple: DCA to cold storage. Don't relinquish ownership. Don't gamble with leverage. Don't buy paper Bitcoin. Don't engage with Wall St scams.
Check out Simon's podcast if you have time, Bitcoin Hard Talk, IMO it's the most people-centric thing I've heard in many years. A true breath of fresh air in a world of b/s
He's been hodling for 11 years. You don't di this before 10-15 years of hodling. 2 years of cost of living is likely a very small percentage of his stack.
And separate your day to day money from your bitcoin, so you never have to sell them
Dealing with Bitcoin’s exchange rate to the mother of shitcoins is probably the least interesting thing your neurons can do.
It'd be so much harder without having found Bitcoin.
Everything gets harder because you're actually taking responsibilty for stuff. You can't blame some government figurehead & actually believe it's their fault that you fucked up.
As the years go on & you start accumulating real wealth, it only adds to your responsibilty. Now you actually have something significant to lose.
I'd love to feel that pressure soon. It's been so long going sideways.
But the yield .. the yield is priceless 🧡
That’s basically having a cash reserve / managing cash flow. So instead of keeping 100% in bitcoin you keep 70-95% depending on your situation. Is that it?
I’ll check it out. Been in the space for almost a decade and literally never heard of him.
Basically yes
Check out his old videos on YouTube and follow him here @npub1546j...f9mt
Weird
I don't why I am thinking it may be many worlds apart in relatability about how hard it's for a 2014 bitcoiner to hold vs. 2025 bitcoiner. Meaning I don't know that you can truly relate to my situation from where you stand. Or am I wrong?
Is it the temptation to buy? Is it the lure of easily spendable fiat? Is it doubt? Is it fear? What is it?
*Why is it?
Fak
Only for non-believers like you.
It's gotten easier for me (over the same time period).
Don’t do us like this right now 😂
Oh shit. She’s not wrong.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
No.
Huh well looks like he’s British which explains some of it but not all. Never heard anyone mention his name. Seems like a grounded guy though. Thanks for bringing him up.
