I am providing this chart without comment. Members of my private community at https://t.co/B21biKQ8fC know what all the colors and lines mean
But the Bitcoin Banana narrative is alive and will remain well 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
It’s hard to convey intent and timeframe posting on X.
But from a high-level, beyond random chart posts, I like to think about everything through three main lenses:
1. The Earn - Income
Most traders believe they can trade their way to wealth.
I disagree. Income is the biggest driver, especially early on.
Maximize earnings from your profession.
Get promoted, change roles, start a side hustle or small business.
Build a steady stream before you chase multipliers.
2. The Multiply - Growth
Taking that steady stream of income and put it to work.
This is where you grow, through investing, trading, and some larger calculated risk.
Earned money becomes working money.
Learning through experience, this is the active money you're looking to grow. This is where you want to be broad in application. "There is a bull market somewhere" idea. Angle investing, trading/investing, business partnerships.
3. The Protect & Compound - Foundational
Periodically move or rebalance wealth from “Growth” into “Foundational.” Different timeframe, different mindset. You're not market timing, you're building the layer.
This is your true FU capital.
The layer you protect and let quietly compound, providing ultimate security.
Bitcoin. Gold. Blue-chips. Income assets. Real Estate.
Stable, reliable, generational wealth.
Every time capital flows into this layer, you're locking in a new level of wealth and security.
The goal is to flow wealth down into the Foundational. Think of it as a funnel, you want high flow in to have a better chance to multiply it and have enough to flow the way down.
For example, I could be selling a bunch of gold stocks or Bitcoin after a great 4yr Cycle run, but it will also mean stacking and adding to some of those same assets in the Foundational layer. This layer never sells (only rebalances).
Have a great win on a speculative coin, pay your foundational layer with a portion of the winnings, always.
GOLD
The current gold secular bull market tracking higher than the early-2000s move and lower than the 1970s bull.
As we have said to clients for years, these secular moves go higher, and last longer, than investors expect.
@3F_Research
$eth
BTW, if we assume $eth is one cycle behind $btc
We can also compare their ATH break
Kinda similar scenario
Slight ATH break then another 10-15% correction ?
🚨I just SOLD 40% of my $ETH bag
Most think that I'm insane, but I'm not...
Last time this setup triggered, ETH dumped 65% in weeks
Here’s why I sold and my EXACT plan for the 2025-2026 cycle👇🧵

🚨NEW: After speaking with three legal sources and tuning into @JohnEDeaton1’s live analysis, my read is that Judge Torres is playing hardball here—she’s not making it easy for the parties to simply walk away; instead, she’ll make them work for it.
Deaton raises a valid point: from Torres’s perspective, the @SECGov has spent the past five years doubling down on a narrative and legal strategy that resulted in thousands of hours of legal and judicial manpower, only for the agency to suggest that those five years were essentially a waste.
While Torres has denied their initial request, she’s outlined a clear path forward—provided the SEC and Ripple can meet the legal standards and present a compelling case that withdrawing her ruling is in the best interest of the public and institutional buyers of $XRP.
@s_alderoty mentioned Ripple will work with the @SECGov to revisit the issue together—pretty wild considering they’ve been on opposite sides for nearly five years. It’ll be even more interesting to see if Torres eases up once they’ve done the necessary work, or if she sticks to her guns and makes this more of a ‘political’ fight.
🚨SCOOP: Two well-placed sources tell me that the @SECGov vs. @Ripple case is in the process of wrapping up and could be over soon.
My understanding is that the delay in reaching an agreement is due to Ripple's legal team negotiating more favorable terms regarding the August district court ruling, which imposed a $125M fine on the company and included a permanent injunction preventing the company from selling $XRP to institutional investors.
The argument, I’m told, is that if the new SEC leadership is wiping the enforcement slate clean for all previously-targeted crypto firms because it believes regulatory clarity will resolve the underlying issue, why should Ripple still be penalized? Accepting the Torres ruling as it stands would mean that Ripple is essentially agreeing to admit to wrongdoing — but now the SEC itself is seemingly unsure whether any wrongdoing occurred.
There’s no real playbook for this kind of thing which could explain why this case is taking longer to resolve than the rest. Stay tuned.

Posted a bio in 2003 that says he is into crypto, pseudonyms, 4am hacks, and more
Posted in 2003 that he is ending his dependence on the US dollar and creating a barter network
Referred to himself as Jak instead of Jack. Jak was his pseudonym.
Jack, who was a sailor, tweeted on 8/17/08: Around the horn and home again, for that's the sailor's way". Bitcoin .org was registered the next day.
Jack's twitter profile from Sept '07 - Jan '09 said he was a sailor.
The original Bitcoin source code included an old sailor's adage. "Never go to sea with two chronometers; take one or three"
The original Bitcoin source code documents are all timestamped as being created at exactly 4AM, just like Jack's bio
The original Bitcoin source code documents contain a brute forced example vanity bitcoin address that starts with NS17 (Nakamoto Satoshi 1/7 ). The documents were created 1/7/09.
Satoshi accidentally logged into IRC on 1/10/09 using a real IP, revealing he was in California (where Jack was)
The first bitcoin transaction took place on Jack's mom's birthday (1/11/09)
Satoshi joined the bitcoin forum on Jack's birthday (11/19)
Satoshi's last mined block was on Jack's dad's birthday (5/3/10)
Satoshi told Hal in an email about vanity bitcoin addresses and showed him a SECOND one beginning with NS.
Jack sends bitcoin to 4 addresses after Hal, including one that has jD2m in the middle.
Jack lived at 2 Mint Plaza in San Francisco. Jack Dorsey 2 Mint (jD2m).
Satoshi tells Martti Malmi that he is really busy with work. Jack was busy launching his next startup, Square (now Block)
Satoshi tells people on the forum not to donate Bitcoins to Wikileaks on 12/5/10
Twitter is hit with a secret court order with a gag requirement to turn over everything it has about Wikileaks on 12/14/10
Satoshi stopped logging into the forum on 12/13/10 and never returned
Jack is made Executive Chairman of Twitter while remaining CEO of Square on 3/28/11 and he tweets that he is very busy with both
Satoshi sends his last email on 4/23/11
Twitter's tech lead suggests that Twitter might integrate bitcoin payments on 5/23/11
Jack Dorsey calls Bitcoin an Amazing Movement in September 2012 and said that Square would accept it if it became huge and accepted.
Jack's best friend Alyssa Milano writes a novel (Hacktivist) in the Summer of 2013 about Jack, in which she places him as living a double life behind a famous pseudonym
Square announces Bitcoin acceptance on 3/31/14.
Satoshi's gmx email is hacked on 9/8/14 and the hacker attempts to extort Satoshi by sharing that he knows about his connection to St. Louis, Missouri. Jack is from St. Louis.
Alyssa Milano writes a 2nd novel about Jack (Hacktivist). In this one, Jack's famous pseudonym is hijacked and his software developed in a way that was not intended. The hijacker has a logo that looks almost exactly like Gavin Andresen's Bitcoin Faucet logo. It was released in installments with the first one going out on 7/29/15.
Two weeks later on 8/15/15, Satoshi reappears on the bitcoin mailing list to address the bitcoin block size debates. People are shocked about Satoshi's return and some doubt it is really him but could not disprove it.
On 10/15/15, Jack is made permanent CEO of Twitter, officially making him CEO of two companies.
The last installment of Milano's novel about Jack is published, in which its ends by him returning as head to his social network.
Square publishes a children's book in January 2018 to explain the "Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto" in which it makes its Satoshi character look like Jack.
On 4/20/20 Lex Fridman asks Jack if he is Satoshi, to which Jack tells him that he wouldn't admit it to him if he was. This is in contrast to Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and Hal Finney all saying explicitly that they were not Satoshi.
On 5/25/20 - 145 very old bitcoin addresses signed a message stating that Craig Wright was not Satoshi and that he was a liar and a fraud. The oldest bitcoin address that signed the message started with 1jak (Jack's old pseudonym) and the oldest that signed it contained HiSQ in the middle. SQ is the ticker for his company Square.
In February of 2022 Jack starts wearing a Satoshi shirt, first on a Michael Saylor podcast and then at the Super Bowl.
On 10/27/23, Jack said at a conference that "Bitcoin and Satoshi in 2009 was a combination of my childhood and my curiosity and everything that I aspired to be and everything I loved."
Craig Wright's attorneys argue in early 2024 that if Craig Wright was not Satoshi "then the real Satoshi would have been expected to come forward to counter the claim." It did not dawn on them that the person countering the claim was Jack Dorsey, who was the basis for the COPA v Wright legal challenge to begin with. Jack Dorsey came forward to counter the claim.
On 7/21/24 Jack wrote on Nostr, "I frequently imagine Satoshi sitting back somewhere and laughing at it all."
On 8/28/24 Jack went on Nostr and thanked Hal Finney (now deceased) for his help.
Jack parades himself around in a Satoshi shirt.
----------
The belief that Satoshi never wanted to be found is something that other people invented about Satoshi. Satoshi chose pseudonymity, not anonymity, as Jack so pointed out in a podcast with Lex Fridman. The reason why Jack would do all of the above, while not directly admitting it, is because Satoshi and bitcoin are his art. And it's a masterpiece. @jack
