Thank you to my partners, my BitMEX employees, and most importantly our clients. It was an amazing ride. We did something special together. And I'm so proud of what we created and that we will shutdown responsibly on our own terms. Fuck TradFi, Fuck the Banks, Fuck the man. Satoshi for life.
You will always find a way to fund whatever you prioritize
“Bitcoin is too expensive, I’ll never get to one”
That mindset is exactly why you’ll never get there. But somehow, you always find the money and discipline to keep funding your parlays, bottles, and weed
Nas invested $500K in Coinbase in 2013, when almost nobody believed in crypto.
But when the company went public in 2021, that single investment had turned into $100 million 💰💯
When people move their Bitcoin into self custody, that Bitcoin is no longer sitting on an exchange waiting to be sold
So when more people want Bitcoin, but less is available and holders aren’t selling, buyers have to compete for what’s left
Its basic supply and demand
Shoutout Satoshi 🫡
People are taught to believe Social Security and a 401K are the “safe” path to retirement while Bitcoin is the “risky” one
Social Security is projected to be depleted by 2034 and your 401K can grow in dollars while still losing a significant amount of purchasing power to inflation
(you’ll have more dollars but those dollars won’t buy nearly as much things)
But I’m supposed to believe Bitcoin is riskier than blindly depending on systems that are already telling you they will not protect your future
I’ll take the hard money
