@afowler06@supreme_cbd ...most companies (ones a lot bigger than yours) only offer discounts for clearances, but you aren't, it's the same products week in and week out, it's not really 40% off, it's just the normal cost priced wrong
@afowler06@supreme_cbd Respect to you, you have built a solid business, but offering 40% off all the time, whether it's you, Merson and so on, all it means is your pricing is completely wrong, show me a company other than DFS lol, which offers discounts all year round on the same products...
People - there is no "reason" for crypto prices moving up or down. The market makers control the price. They have infinite liquidity. @binance the primary exchange with 90% price dominance holds 551000 Bitcoin. Do you understand yet?
They are playing games with everyone to shake you out of crypto before they inevitably mark it up.
You can dance around looking for a 1000 reasons for the price movements or listen to me again.

$625k home
20% down-payment
$500k mortgage
With a 6% interest rate and a 30-year term, you are paying $579,190.95 in interest.
The $625,000 house cost you $1,204,190.95.
This is equal to a $3,345 monthly rental payment, plus you pay for maintenance and repairs.
Houses cost so much because people can borrow money that's created with the press of a button to buy them.
If everyone had to pay in cash for their home, prices would drop significantly.
Most people think mortgages are designed to help them.
But NO.
Mortgages are designed to earn profits for banks.
@PeterSchiff The people who have previously taken Peter Schiff's advice over these last 10 or so years and sold their Bitcoin, must be so happy with him now for his expert advice especially when they are now buying back in at 60k 🤦♂️
Your flex isn't a flex.
No one cares about your car.
Or your bigwig job title.
Or your watch.
I was just in a room full of c suite execs from fortune 500 companies.
People that have reached the pinnacle of traditional success.
But they aren't in control of their time.
Most of them completely missed their children growing up.
Many of them are unhealthy.
And few of them know how to enjoy life, because they have spent their lives focused on the next rung of the corporate ladder.
Conditioning themselves to live for "someday" that will never arrive.
In their defense, when they started their careers decades ago, it was a lot harder to achieve a high quality of life outside of the big corporate setting.
But now the status symbols they aimed at (the title, the big house, etc.) have lost value.
The new status symbols are:
- Control over your time
- Control over where you work
- Freedom to watch your children grow up
- Ability for your spouse to stay home
- Ability to travel whenever you want
- A fit body and a healthy mind
Just like the old status symbols, nobody really cares whether you achieve these things.
But your family will. And that's what matter most.
So how to get these things?
We live in an age of incredible opportunity.
The opportunities for individuals and small teams to build wealth via business have never been greater.
You no longer need to slave away in an office for decades to bank $10+ million.
Traditional media used to monopolize the power to influence; today that power has been decentralized by platforms like X.
Similarly, corporate influence has lost ground to individual influence.
Authentic individuals are the brands that people now trust.
And people will always prefer to buy from brands they trust.
This is an opportunity for those who recognize it and act upon it. That alone should make you optimistic.
But what if you don't want to start a business?
You can still get there by choosing to save in #Bitcoin
Families that have adopted a Bitcoin standard for their savings have seen dramatic increases in living standards compared to people who save in assets like the S&P500.
For every Lambo-flaunting crypto scammer, there are probably 1,000+ families spending more time together because of Bitcoin.
And at the end of the day, that's the only status symbol that really has any substance.
How early are we?
In 2032 the block reward will be just 0.78125 #BTC. A lot of people are able to afford this today. You can then have the whole world’s mining power for 10 min in 2032. Imagine what that will be worth!🏰🟠
After studying #Bitcoin for:
1 hour - btc is a ‘cryptocurrency’
10 hours - the government will stop it
100 hours - btc is like digital gold
1,000 hours - btc is not ‘crypto’
10,000 hours - btc is an unstoppable force which frees humanity from control of the state
People think crypto is about luck.
It’s not.
It’s about CONVICTION.
The best time to buy is when there’s extreme fear in the market.
And it’s your conviction in the future of this technology that makes you pull trigger during those market conditions, not luck.
