I stopped telling people to buy Bitcoin years ago. I'm not an investor. I don't want to manage a portfolio. I certainly don't want to advise others. I'm ok with all my eggs in one basket. Other assets will have their days. People will point to a specific timeframe and say "I told you so!" That's ok. Enjoy your time in the sun. Up or down, I'm a Bitcoin holder. It has changed my life for the better in every way. And it wouldn't have happened if I listened to everyone else's advice. I'll always do what I think is best. You should, too.

These are things people often say who got in early. For someone who bought bitcoin 4 years ago and has not kept up with inflation, it hurts. Particularly in a time when many other investments have increased substantially on a relative basis. Bitcoiners are great at rejoicing/dunking on people when bitcoin is rising relative to other assets. But then when price action is poor, the comment is "I don't care about the price" Its kind of silly. The purchasing power of a money (or an investment) is one of it's most important qualities given the money can't be used for anything other than trade for a good/service that a human actually needs. There is a reason we celebrate the price going up dramatically. It is OK to be sad when the opposite happens and shiny rocks destroy bitcoin performance 1 year.

I did what I thought was right, when everyone else told me I was wrong. I didn't bitch and cry during all the bear markets of the past. I kept earning btc and holding. I'm not going to apologize for winning.

I don't tell people to buy Bitcoin, I just donate Bitcoin to causes and in this way I have been quite succesful at converting people. Getting your first introduction to Bitcoin as a donation is extremely powerful ♥️!

I agree however, to me, bitcoin is not an investment advice. It’s a lifeline for others so i won’t stop spreading the word to save souls.

You are doing the right thing. I am about to start a 9-5 thingy (still music related at least…) and I am happy that I can stack a little more 💜

It’s not investment advice… it’s pro freedom! The people who think of it as an investment are not thinking what do I create to get Bitcoin. They are not understanding the power of exchanging in Bitcoin. The goal isn’t sitting on an asset class… the goal is sovereign money exchange.

Mmm, sure in that there is a relationship between exchange ratios now versus in the future. So, imagining that 1 BTC is worth $10,000,000 or $$1 or $30M is speculative and valid possibly at a certain point in time. You choosing 1 specific year to focus on relative price versus shiny rocks implies a short time preference. Gold and silver both had their best year in decades, I beleive... Cherry picking just that year instead of a 5-10-15 year time frame doesn't show much of any pattern, does it?

You were always one of the few people whose voice helped me stay sane during past bear markets when everyone was screaming that the sky was falling. 🫂👊

Gold after a historic 75% green year in 2025 still has slightly less than a 10% CAGR on a 15 year basis. Now imagine how much pain gold bugs have endured to simply be flat vs debasement on a 15 year timeframe. One year charts are irrelevant. 10 years or more for SoV, minimum.

Your comments seem to mainly consider bitcoin in dollars. I've only been stacking for almost 4 years, and the price isn' t that important to me. Lower price means more sats per dollar... Came for the price, stayed for the freedom tech and long view. If the dollar price cut in half again, I'd stack twice as much. 😊 Of course, mainly thinking in terms of retirement money or a legacy one day, rather than market price today. To each their own... Different priorities. 😉
