Every Bitcoin cycle shapes you.
Not just as an investor but as a human being.
The bull run humbles your greed.
The bear market crushes your ego.
The halvings test your patience.
And the time in between forges your conviction.
Each cycle burns away illusion until only truth remains.
You stop chasing noise. You stop fearing volatility.
You start thinking in decades, not days.
You stop measuring wealth in fiat, and start measuring it in time, energy, and freedom.
The longer you survive the cycles, the stronger you become because Bitcoin doesn’t just reward the patient…
it transforms them.
Through every rise and fall, Bitcoin refines your discipline, your mindset, and your soul turning uncertainty into wisdom,volatility into virtue,
and time into truth.
This isn’t a market.
It’s a mirror.
And those who stay long enough become what they believe in.
⚡ Proof of Work. Proof of Character. Proof of Self.
@RonSwanonson@MTanguma There's no risk-free yield, you can ask Raul.
I understand you're bitter, but everybody learns sometimes, even you(imagine).
Not saying the whole house is going to crash now, but it eventually will.
BTW, enjoying your financial tweets a lot, thank you.
@BlueDavid@cguida6 Nope.
I think they're done.
Nobody will trust them anymore.
Even individual devs having "former developer of Bitcoin Core" in their resume and/or X tracks will have a hard time proving they're not a sellout by character.
So basically Bitcoin does this thing every 4 years where the entire market thinks bitcoin is dead because the price gets shitted on over and over and over and then it goes back up and everybody forgets about it and gets mad they didn’t buy when it was getting shitted on.
Pruned nodes, eh?
Lots of full nodes are foundational for Bitxoin security.
Core is showing its true colors, elven still.
Gfy, Core!
I'm running Bitxoin Knots +BIP-110
@janrothen@AsyncN8@dathon_ohm@oomahq You have to add additional misconceptions for this to make sense. Once you are aware that pruned nodes are fully-validating nodes, the feerates are lower than they ever have been, and there is basically no hindrance to payment transactions whatsoever, it doesn’t make sense.
@mattkratter@cguida6@McDonaghMatthew@SimplyBitcoin BTC proliferation is very, very low.
Even if there's almost no use as a MoE, but some 20-30% of world wealth gets stored in Bitcoin, it will have beat fiat.
I know by that time, MoE will definitely follow.
This is to say that SoV is going to lead, IMHO.
@theswansjr Game theory will eventually work, and every nation state will adopt BTC.
But they're not stupid. They realize that BTC will strip them off their most powerful weapon - fiat debasement.
They will drag time trying to eliminate the threat, probably that's what is going on rn.
Here's the part they never teach in personal finance:
Saving in dollars is just spending in slow motion.
Hold $100K in cash for 10 years at 3% average inflation, and you've effectively spent roughly $26,000 without buying anything.
How? Debasement from the money printer.
This is not an accident. A currency that punishes saving forces you to keep moving into stocks, real estate, and bonds, all of which feed the same machine. This generates momentum and tax revenue.
The system doesn't need you to spend. It just needs you to stay in it.
Bitcoin is the first savings technology in a century that doesn't punish patience.
@Beautyon_@Magnify_The_Sun They're selling ad space on the stickers that they can stick to city fences, walls and posts.
They don't care if it looks shite, making the whole city resemble a trashcan.
Posts, walls and fences will never run out, this is their business model.
This is the exact problem with a lot of Bitcoin influencers.
You acknowledge arbitrary data is an issue and that there’s even a “civil war” brewing over node policies… then immediately downplay it as “spam gets priced out”, warn against consensus changes, and close with “everything will be okay”.
Meanwhile you’re regularly shilling Blockstream hardware with affiliate links.
When someone who profits from sponsors with clear positions against stricter spam filters starts softening the language and framing real defense of node sovereignty as “panic”, it stops looking like neutrality. It starts looking like protecting relationships.
Bitcoin doesn’t need more “relax, the market will fix it” takes from people with skin in the game. It needs people willing to call the threat what it is.
Some of you forget that most of the Bitcoin Corporate Treasuries, the VC’s, the OG’s, the devs, the Bitcoin Influencers, the Spammers are only into Bitcoin for self interests. They are not into Bitcoin for honest money, they are here to grift.
Stay Toxic
The $MSTR mission creep I always said would come.
Even though Strategy doesn’t need the money, it is conditioning investors to believe that selling Bitcoin to fund dividends and yield is a normal part of the new Strategy playbook.
The result is a structure that normalizes Bitcoin distribution back into the market whenever cash flow is needed to support dividends and yield.
In effect, they’re building the infrastructure for short-term Bitcoin price management while training investors to view it as prudent capital allocation.
A gift to the Financial Industrial Complex.
Bitcoin was designed to separate money from the financial system.
The FIC wants Bitcoin integrated into the same system of custodians, leverage, yield products, and paper claims that dominate traditional finance.
Strategy accelerates that transition by making Bitcoin sales, dividend policies, and yield engineering part of the accepted model.
It is what it is.
Bitcoin can be used by anybody.
But Bitcoin in self-custody is the resistance.
In the long run, the FIC doesn’t want you to own Bitcoin. It wants to custody your Bitcoin, tokenize your Bitcoin, lend your Bitcoin, and issue paper claims against your Bitcoin.
The goal is simple: keep you a paper-Bitcoin slave while they accumulate the real asset instead of you.
Not your keys.
Not your Bitcoin.
Mechanic banned from r/Bitcoin for referring to bip110 miner signaling.
The very same people framing individual node operator policy as censorship, are fully censoring any mention of bip110.
That signals two things: hypocrisy and weakness
The reason you havn't seen me shilling treasury companies this whole time is due to basic business principles:
Debt & leverage = risk
You can dress it up all you want, it is still a true statement.
I would never recommend something where you could get wiped out.
