In a world built on noise, don’t forget the signal.
Stay humble. Stack sats. Make more than you spend. Touch grass. Be useful. Smile. Love hard. Breathe.
#Bitcoin can change the world because the world can’t change Bitcoin
The most powerful nation on earth has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and intends to accumulate more.
This is a new chapter for #Bitcoin. Nation-state adoption is here.
The whole world will compete to own as much of the 21M Bitcoin as they can.
In the wake of all this thrilling news, it’s worth a moment to reflect.
Consider this: you were right.
Remember when you first got interested in Bitcoin? You got more and more excited, thinking this could be big. This could change the world.
Your friends and family thought you were crazy. They pitied you. You had lost your mind; fallen for an internet scam, a Ponzi scheme. They lost respect for you.
But you trusted yourself. You defied the herd.
You put your financial future on your back. You risked your whole world. Your family's future. For this idea.
The road has been harder than you expected. The crashes, the emotional rollercoaster, but you stayed true to reason and kept stacking.
And now look what’s unfolding.
You were right. And the herd is slowly realizing they’ve been on the wrong course. They’re coming to follow you.
You risked everything. But it wasn’t a gamble. You just saw what they did not, could not.
Bitcoin is winning. You are winning. And your family is winning - because of you.
They may not appreciate it yet. But they will.
Until then, I know what you risked and what it took - and I’m fucking proud of you.
You've earned a moment of victory. What will you do to enjoy this weekend?
Working hard to get the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and comprehensive digital asset legislation across the finish line. Thanks for stopping by @jespow , @arjunsethi , @DavidLRipley !
It’s quite eye opening how FUD is being projected at this level.
Fighting bitcoin hasn’t benefitted anyone, rather they should take an open minded approach to what this technology can offer.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Bitcoin has now become @MSNBC's new obsession.
They've spent more time attacking bitcoin this week than they have attacking most of Trump's cabinet appointments.
Game theory is a real thing. It will be interesting to see how the mag7 act over the next 6-12 months.
Obviously more interested in how these companies and others position themselves in the 2028/2029 bull run.
#bitcoin#nobtcfud
You tried your best to explain Bitcoin to your friends and family.
When it all clicked for you, your enthusiasm was overflowing.
And you shared it willingly because you wanted what was best for those close to you.
Maybe they listened politely.
Maybe they called you naive behind your back.
99% of them likely did nothing with the info you provided them.
Meanwhile, you outperformed 99.9% of hedge funds.
And now they may secretly resent your success a little.
They call you lucky. A gambler.
Or perhaps they still don't care at all - which may sting even more if you expected them to give you your flowers.
But this is part of the Bitcoin journey.
Many have walked this lonely path before you.
All you can do is stay cheerful and supportive.
There's no need to gloat.
No need to remind them that you urged them to buy BTC long ago.
Don't take their inaction personally.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink.
So just love them and be there for them - even more so now that you have resources.
Life is hard for everyone.
But Bitcoin is meant to make your life better.
And that includes improving your relationships with those around you.
So take heart in the fact that you acted with courage on the strength of your convictions.
Increased confidence is your deserved reward to enjoy.
But enjoy it inwardly.
You are now a core pillar of your family.
And it's time to lead by example.
🐂 “What’s going to happen to @MicroStrategy is going to be absolutely mind blowing come summer/fall of 2025” - @PrestonPysh sees insanity on the horizon. @saylor’s playing a 4D game of chess that is carefully engineered around the BTC cycles. James Check (@_Checkmatey_) hasn’t studied $MSTR fully, but understands the market dynamics at play and what can happen to a equity that has a options market with absurd volatility that is tied to Bitcoin during a bull run. The velocity of the flywheel shows up as short sellers are forced to buy high, and $MSTR shareholders sell to convert to BTC. Listen to Preston and James discuss what’s in stor e for this cycle on the latest @TIP_Network episode.

Key insights:
💼 Institutional Demand Holds Strong: After a 7-month consolidation above $1.2 trillion, Bitcoin proved its staying power. Every dip was met with significant buying, signaling strong institutional absorption. “Bitcoin belongs above $1 trillion—and now, $1.7 trillion,” says James Check. (02:29)
📊 On-Chain Trends: Long-term holders sold significantly during the consolidation, but selling pressure eased mid-November, paving the way for the current rally. Supply suffocation by holders below $20K creates a strong market floor. (09:02)
🏦 Evolving Exchange Dynamics:
Borrowing against Bitcoin instead of selling it is maturing the market. This reduces sell pressure and positions BTC as pristine collateral, even drawing interest from traditional banks. (12:22)
⚡ Bullish Catalysts: A pro-Bitcoin U.S. president, ETF launches, and derivatives are energizing the market, with potential for explosive growth by 2025. However, risks like custody failures or copycat investing strategies loom. (28:30)
🔥 “Euphoria Zone” Alert: New retail interest is surging, yet historical patterns warn this euphoria may only last 6-18 months. Will Bitcoin hit $300K or consolidate before the next leg up? (59:13)

MicroStrategy is powered by its #Bitcoin treasury operations. We sell volatility through our ATM offerings, strip BTC risk, volatility, and performance from our fixed-income securities, and transfer that performance to our $MSTR equity holders.
Michael @saylor buying $42 billion of #Bitcoin over 3 years is cute…
Have you considered the US government could buy $42 billion in 3 months and not bat an eye?
What about when they buy $42 billion in 3 weeks?
Or $42 billion in 3 days?
Number going up is great.
But a fat portfolio isn't necessary or sufficient to live a wealthy life.
The moments you'll think about with your dying breath will have absolutely nothing to do with money.
Keep that in mind as the raging bull market distracts you from the eternal.
Check out my conversation with @SemlerEric, Chairman of Semler Scientific, which adopted a #Bitcoin treasury strategy in May 2024.
We discussed the decision, why more public companies haven't followed @MicroStrategy's playbook, and why Bitcoin offers a contrarian edge. Semler Scientific currently HODLs 1273 Bitcoin!
