"Crypto" is going to zero. Bitcoin is going to 1M+.
I've been working on Bitcoin since early 2013 when it was ~$50. First it was going to zero because of Silk Road. Then Mt. Gox. Then governments were going to ban it. Then it was slow technology and it was going to be crushed by all of the other coins. Then Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX were sending it to zero. Now there are new narratives. New people that are far too levered, don't understand Bitcoin, but are somehow here to fix it.
Yet, somehow, here we are. A $1T asset.
Bitcoin has been the best thing I could have poured my life into over the last 13+ years. Meanwhile, trust in governments and their ability to stop destroying the people and their purchasing power has never been worse in those same 13+ years.
At the end of the day, my advice to you: the Bitcoin journey is a hero's journey. You kill your ego. You surrender the idea that you're the all-knower of the future, the main character, and important enough to matter to this thing. Bitcoin doesn't care what you think and it doesn't need your permission. You either have the balls to build conviction in it or you don't. You built Barstool, you know this. There is no free lunch. Nobody gets paid to show up when things are easy. Life isn't charity. Participation trophies are worthless. Those that end up getting paid do so because they build something that was simply too hard for others.
Nobody has to convince you of anything. You have to convince you. If you believe in the government and their ability to not print away your purchasing power, sell us your bitcoins. If you don't and you think Bitcoin is an idea worth believing in, have some guts.
Your choice. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be successful either way. It's on a journey of its own and it will be there for you whenever you're ready.
@VBMillennial@CollinRugg Talking about your personal interpretation of Christianity isn’t a metric of Christianity. The guy is clearly manipulating the text to fish for votes
@nostranska@TheMaverickWS Unfortunately we really put ourselves in a bind over the past decade; debt crisis is so bad that they have to lower rates just so the US Gov/banking system doesn’t collapse. Actually let me rephrase, letting things crash now won’t get you re-elected, so they have to lower rates.
@nostranska@TheMaverickWS Bitcoin is a liquidity signal. You can take the TGA or even the over night Fed fund rate; Bitcoin is telling you there is a liquidity shortage and sooner or later, they need to print to the money before a disaster happens
