Hi @AngelaRayner
You’ve signed off 10% increases in Council Tax.
Keir Starmer promised “not a penny more” on council tax and your colleagues promised that “we will not be raising taxes on working people”.
Does bringing back “integrity” involve lying so much to the public?
Forget Bellegarde’s goal and Cunha’s celebrations, this was one of the most encouraging signs from last night.
This is all you can ask for from your team. Fight, desire, passion, and they showed it from minute one to 97.
Another 14 games to go. #wwfc
It is not over, the cycle has NOT topped
Never do I recall so many Twitter posts of people absolutely certain about it being over during an actual cycle peak
Remember the cycle low? Everyone was in panic, scared shitless and screaming for 12,000 as we approached
Not many navigated those conditions well during the time; yet suddenly we’re all navigating tops with pin point accuracy? It’s nothing short of hilarious. Very few manage cycle highs and lows and key market pivots - one thing is nearly always for sure; consensus is often incorrect and offside
High likelihood that when the top does arrive, the large majority of participants are sat balls deep in risk, riding full exposure into a nuke - failing to even exit the complacency bounce as they wait to recover their portfolio value that never comes. I don’t see remotely these conditions yet - maybe I’m wrong?
The problem we have currently is that so many expected inauguration to be a massive bullish catalyst, that when it’s a nothing burger; people immediately flip bias - this is where we’re at currently with market sentiment imo
Hilarious, because this was the most likely outcome and should not surprise anyone; yet here we are 😂
Likewise we have many participants in absolute dogshit holdings that might already be in deep drawdown and they’re feeling the pain - this happens every cycle. People disregard bitcoin as being boring and seek massive risk by being all in altcoins - most people walk away with zero from such an approach.
However, I don’t think the market cycle has printed its high at this stage - on that note, we do not have long left, I expect the market to top at the back end of the year (2025) as per textbook guidance (kek). When I say this I refer to the market meaning bitcoin. Bitcoin is the index in crypto as I always say - thus some alts will already be on their path to a 90% drawdown followed by another 90% drawdown into an eventual 99.9% drop from the high - I don’t make the rules
You need to be making hay while the sun shines in 2025; that’s for sure. Especially if you’re all in memes/alts or non-bitcoin assets. Make sure you have your plan prepared and at worst, secure as much liquid capital to allow you to (at least) survive until 2027 and last the probable ‘bear market’ and often brutal market correction during 2026
You have time in my opinion; but do not get complacent - pay yourself, always! When you make generational wealth, fucking secure it. On all the upside price discovery this year, you should be taking money out when you feel the urge to screenshot your gains - even if incrementally
Plenty of volatility to come in 2025, each time more obituaries will be written - but who will be remotely accurate? Time will tell 🫡
Obviously if you’re all in bitcoin with plenty of cash flow and emergency funds secured, you don’t need to worry about the market cycle, regardless of near term drawdown, bitcoin will continue to be the best and most brutal performing macro asset - zero doubt in my mind. The goal is always more ₿ over time
The climate and backdrop for bitcoin has never been better, truly. It’s insane where we are today compared to even last cycle… and compared to 2013 - it’s genuinely hard to comprehend the growth and journey. The next decade will be even more crazy as bitcoin matures and cements itself as a new macro asset and wider asset class is born
Relax, enjoy the show and don’t forget to take profits (even if partials), instead of screenshots for the next 9-12 months
Godspeed

My wife doesn't know but, I drop the answer to Wordle into casual conversation each morning. I like to think this subliminally helps her in the very competitive daily Wordle competition she has with her work colleagues. She's now winning.
Seeing a lot of #wwfc fans on my timeline with doom and gloom.
No League now till 26th Dec. Lopetegui has 6-7 weeks to implement his style, lift the players and on top of that the transfer window will open 5 days later. Not down and out just yet. Positivity goes a long way 👍
