@Sykodelic_@IamZeroIka Gold used in basically all technological devices. In Q2 alone, roughly 81 tons of gold were consumed by technological and industrial applications.
This may not sit well with many, but it’s what I honestly believe.
"Bitcoin is a revolution, a new form of money designed to return power to the people and overthrow traditional finance... the future is here, and this asset is programmed to reach exorbitant figures in the long term."
For years, this dogma has been hammered into people’s minds to the point that even chickens are aware of it by now.
But let’s pause and reflect: do you really believe that smart money haven’t already tackled this so-called revolution?
That they’ve underestimated its scope or impact?
In a world where virtually every sector is controlled and manipulated 🤹♂️down to the finest detail, do you truly think there’s even the slightest chance they haven’t figured out how to outsmart the average retail investor?
The same investor who, more often than not, relies on just one investment strategy: “buy and hold,” often applied blindly?
People are highly influenceable.
By continuously pushing narratives that encourage them to invest all their savings in Bitcoin, hoarding satoshis as if they were treasure, it becomes easy to manipulate them.
Now let’s think about traditional financial instruments like ETFs, futures, and the like.
These tools don’t free Bitcoin from the system; instead, they strengthen its ties to traditional finance.
They turn Bitcoin into yet another toy in the hands of powerful forces, who use it to amass what many call “dirty money.”
I speak from personal experience. I, too, was once a “Bitcoin believer.” When I entered this world at 22, I was easily influenced by the various Bitcoin cults that were multiplying everywhere.
Their unyielding doctrine? “HODL and never sell.”
But the more you read, the more you study, and the more you realize that this ecosystem often functions as just another mechanism to extract money from people’s pockets.
Let’s face it: no one would care about Bitcoin or its underlying technology if it weren’t tied to the promise of constant price appreciation.
And that’s the point: by leveraging this belief, smart money ensures it controls the market to their advantage, not ours.
You’re already seeing it with your own eyes: Bitcoin’s price performance declining year after year, the so-called “diminishing returns.”
That alone should set off 🚨 bells in your mind.
"But the collapse of fiat currencies is imminent, inflation is through the roof, and that’s why Bitcoin is poised to reach exorbitant prices!"
Even if we were to accept this as true (governments would never allow such a power shift), do you really want to see Bitcoin reach prices like $500K or $1M?
You’d be living in a world where a kilogram of bread would probably cost at least $10, and basic goods and services would cost 10 times what they do now.
Is that really what you want? 👁️
Realistically speaking, what I personally envision is that with the entry of institutional capital, Bitcoin will eventually find its “fair” value over time and evolve as an alternative to gold, nothing more.
Just another commodity.
Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency, should therefore be a tool for achieving financial freedom.
It shouldn’t be an ideology, a dream, or a movement that demands your every sacrifice.
Leave activism to Greenpeace.
Some may disagree, clinging to maximalist theories, while others might understand that these words are spoken with good intentions.
When I jokingly reference Infinite Tsukuyomi, I’m referring precisely to this type of illusion: a beautiful dream that hides harsh, brutal realities.
But facing those realities is the only way to truly move forward.
@OccultLiquidity @Cryptograsper22 I had my cousins (who are in high school) telling me how xrp is going to 1,000 minimum and its the best crypto to get into if you are going to buy any. Without being a dick I tried to explain how they are wrong, but to no avail.
- Pre Christmas Speech 🎅-
This year apart wishing you a wonderful Christmas I also truly want to wish you something different and something I realized during this 2024: I wish you'll be able to overcome your fears.
Fears represent one of the main obstacles in achieving our goals because they act as invisible brakes that limit our potential.
The fear of failure, the fear of judgment, the fear of change, and even the fear of success..each of which holds us back from taking decisive actions or stepping out of our comfort zone.
The fear of failure pushes us to avoid risks and procrastinate, fearing that a mistake could damage our image or future opportunities while the fear of being judged by others often leads us to refrain from fully expressing ourselves for fear of criticism or ridicule, thereby limiting our freedom to act.
On the other hand, the fear of change paralyzes us in the face of the unknown, making us prefer stability even when it is not conducive to progress, and the fear of success, paradoxical as it may seem, can manifest as anxiety about the responsibilities or expectations that might arise from positive outcomes, unconsciously driving us to self-sabotage.
Just an example, but have you ever been paralyzed by approaching a woman?
You see a beautiful girl and you want to know her, but you can't because you are overwhelmed by fear.
"What if she thinks I'm ugly? What If she's gonna reject me?"
So you walk away, losing an opportunity that will likely end in a "what would happened if.." just because you're fearing something..but fearing what, actually?
You don't even know what she thinks.
Maybe she thinks you're attractive, maybe she wants to know you..you don't know what is happening inside her brain, you're just making assumptions driven by fear.
Fire your shot, try and if you get a rejection IT'S ALL GOOD, up to the next.
Who cares if they laugh at you..the next day they won't even remember that situation and they'll move on with their life.
You need to embrace the idea that the world is presenting you a lot of opportunities every single day, but they won't materialize until you decide to risk.
Risk is necessary to obtain something and trust me, most of the risks we don't want to take are actually not risks at all.
I wish you to dominate your mind in 2025.
I wish you abundance based on demolishing your fears.
Learn, risk, fail, risk again, achieve, succeed.
