Fighting the good fight to lower my time preference and value the future more than the present. Also sports, philosophy, and personal betterment. #Bitcoin
@ZeroHedge_ Just did! And made a couple tweaks because of it. One of the most important things I’ve learned from you this cycle is to fight the urge to chase lower prices, and wait for the setup. Gotta get over the “Well I could have made…” feeling and wait for the signals.
@ZeroHedge_ Not looking at it for a mid-term position. If the daily still has a green dot, waiting for the bounce and adjusting my stop loss just below that low wick.
@ZeroHedge_ If you don’t get over leveraged and always keep little dry powder, BTC on sale is always nice. The AlphaBundle indicators have helped me immensely in that regard 🫡
@ZeroHedge_ $127k late July / early August, chop until September, then correction to $100k…liquidity explosion in Q4, cycle peak ~$175k Q1 2026. But a correction to $80k and cycle peak of $0.5M wouldn’t shock me either!
@ZeroHedge_ I think Bitcoin is superior in every way. The disadvantage is that most view it as a highly volatile, speculative asset since it trades like one. As more people learn what it is and how it works, the price at which they’re willing to part with it for fiat currency goes up.
@AGutiGarcia@ZeroHedge_ Correct, nearly no chance rates get changed, however, the markets definitely react to what JP says in the post meeting. If he confirms an end to QT the markets will be more confident in increased liquidity and be a bit more risk on.
Peter, you’re correct that Bitcoin isn’t a battery in the sense of physically storing energy. However, what Bitcoin does represent is a breakthrough in the ability to convert, preserve, and transmit energy as economic value across time and space. This is unprecedented in human history. Let me explain.
Bitcoin mining transforms real-world energy into a distributed, incorruptible ledger that powers a global monetary system. Once created, Bitcoin becomes a digital form of energy—value encoded in a network that is universally accessible, censorship-resistant, and can be transmitted anywhere in the world with near-zero friction.
Unlike traditional assets, Bitcoin doesn’t degrade, corrode, or inflate over time. The fixed supply of 21 million coins ensures scarcity, making it a store of value akin to digital gold but far more versatile. Its ability to be sent instantly across the globe and held securely without a centralized authority represents an evolution in energy’s utility for preserving and exchanging economic power.
The global marketplace currently values this innovation at over $2 trillion because Bitcoin solves real problems: the inefficiency of traditional financial systems, the erosion of value through inflation, and the barriers to wealth mobility. In essence, Bitcoin is not just backed by energy—it is energy, in digital form, preserved and made liquid for the modern world.
The notion of “digital energy” may seem abstract, but it’s no different than society learning to harness physical energy for light, heat, and transportation. Bitcoin takes it one step further, enabling humanity to use energy to secure economic freedom.
The question isn’t whether Bitcoin is a battery—it’s whether you recognize its potential as the most efficient mechanism ever invented for storing and transmitting value.
@rcd1018 @rajatsoni Wise words from Carl Menger: “Value is… nothing inherent in goods, no property of them, nor an independent thing existing by itself. It is a judgment economizing men make about the importance of the goods at their disposal for the maintenance of their lives and well-being.”
