What Im doing... $BTC Most of you know I’ve been shorting since $120K, and I’m still holding a swing short from $72.8K, which I posted roughly 3 weeks ago. That said, trading and investing are 2 very different approaches, so I want to clarify what I’m doing from an investor perspective. From an investor standpoint, I’m gradually adding to my spot positions. The rationale is simple: the RR for downside vs. upside is skewed. Markets are rigged to go up. BTC has already corrected 51% from its highs, and I believe the most we might see is another 10–15% downside before a macro bottom forms. When investing and scaling into spot, I don’t focus on catching the exact bottom, I scale gradually as opportunities present themselves. This is where confusion often arises: I am buying spot as an investor while trading trend and structure as a trader, two completely separate objectives. While the overall structure remains bearish, I’ve favored shorts at range highs, as I mentioned in my recent YT video. My swing short from $72.8K is part of this strategy. I may take scalps in between, but in terms of macro perspective, I estimate another 4–6 months before we reach a full bottom. This also means we should be prepared for increased chop. So yes: as a trader, I’m shorting from the highs; as an investor, I’m gradually accumulating. Two strategies, different goals, same market. To be clear: as a trader, I’m trading the trend; as an investor, I’m gradually buying into the spot market. Two strategies, different goals, same market.

@CrypDoMillions I’m looking for at a lil more upside maybe $2,400-$2,600 before it rolls over & dumps out to lower targets but this might be wishful thinking.✌️

Seeing an idea become something physical is wild. Did it feel this surreal the first time you created something? #cards #tradingcards #basedtradingcards #collectible #idea #creative #nostalgia #fun

@TFTC21 @BitBagger

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

This is central banking in a nutshell: A group of rich guys go to the king and say: "Hey, you need money for your war. We'll give you all the money you want." The king says: "Great, where's the money?" They say: "We're going to make it up. We'll write numbers in a book and that's your money now." The king says: "What do I owe you?" They say: "You pay us back with interest." The king says: "Where do I get that money?" They say: "You tax your citizens." The king says: "What if I can't pay it all back?" They say: "That's fine. We'll lend you more. Same deal." The king says: "And what do you do with the IOUs I gave you?" They say: "We use them to prove we have money, so we can lend even more money to other people and charge them interest too." The king says: "So you made up money, lent it to me, I tax my people to pay you back, and then you use my debt to make up even more money and lend it to everyone else?" They say: "Yes." The king says: "What did it cost you?" They say: "Nothing." That's literally how the Bank of England started in 1694. The Bank was formed to finance King William's war with France. The king gave the Bank a charter, granting it a monopoly on money. The king could have as much money as he wanted. The bankers could always earn interest. Taxpayers covered the bill. Now replace "king" with "United States Government" and you have the Federal Reserve in 1913. Same story, different country. It doesn't end there. 185 central banks exist in the world today. Across the globe, the governments get as much money as they want, the bankers load their pockets with interest, and the taxpayers pay for it all. Oh, and if you don't pay your taxes, they'll fine you, penalize you, or throw you in jail. The ONLY way out of this is to STOP USING THEIR MONEY. As long as you're using the money that central banks control, the central banks will have control. You have to stop giving them energy. Use a different form of money that they can't control. This is why Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin.

Question? Anyone else like 63k?

@rawsalerts @zerohedge They are gradually changing the age limits to get the public comfortable with older people being in the military for if/when they decide to start a draft.

🚨#BREAKING: Starting April 20, 2026, the U.S. Army will raise the maximum enlistment age from 34 to 42 years old and remove the waiver requirement for individuals with a single prior conviction for marijuana possession.

@astronomer_zero You’re 100% honest that much is clear! I held a long and it paid today but only made that decision bc I was hedged short at 2x my long. Now my short is underwater but I’m still holding the short bc the trend is down.✌️

$BTC longs Target hit, 71.5k hit, exactly as predicted, big pay received! 💰💰💰 ... is what every influencer who doesn't share executions (99% on this platform), would say. But if you scroll down just one post below this one, you know I openly exited the longs loudly and clearly for reasons mentioned in that very post, with the main issue of conviction in long dropping last post. Well, it still happened exactly as planned. So we called the market, but didn't benefit from it and even took a small loss instead. Certainly bummed about that, and I am going to review how this range has gone so far in its totality up to now, how it started out excellently, how it derailed a bit the last two trades despite having the exact right idea (the short at 72k and the long at 69k after), what happened, what went very well (the 6 wins) and what could have gone better (the 2 losses) and why. That's for next post, also sharing my plan from here and tiny updates on it. On the flip side, I am glad to show you what it's like to be fully "right", but not make money at the same time, instead even lose money. Probably one of the clearest live and real trading situation examples you will ever see of how being right is not the same as making money at all, educationally invaluable... Not something that happens very often in my case either since I have high conviction for every move I do, but I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. Being right still has benefits. As in, being glad of course my system works to perfection, always nice to see. However, with a bitter taste as we took a loss. That's 2 losses out of 8 deciding trades now inside this range. For next post, I'm going to indeed review what happened so far this range what should/could change regarding those last two trades, and how to leverage it going forward. Not very much analysis wise, analysis was fine, call it on point. But very much execution wise. It is just pressing a button. But behind it goes a lot more, so stay tuned. In the comments, feel free to let me know if you held or didn't and why. Somehow hope to hear that some of you missed my last post and fully held, hitting our target, would certainly sweeten the bitter taste somewhat.

They keep telling you everyone is bearish on $BTC and that everyone is shorting. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Delta is extended green, and we’ve had 8 consecutive green daily candles. I’ve seen this movie before. Just when people start believing we’re "back", the entire move gets erased in a few red candles. People keep saying, “Killa, you’re a perma bear.” No, I’m not. It just so happens I created my account during the final year of the bull run. Believe me, you’ll know when I’m net long for new ATHs. Right now just isn’t that time. People are too quick to jump the gun, calling bottoms, and months later those tweets get buried. I don’t play that game. Yes, we could extend slightly higher. The 76–78K region is the upper area to watch. But buying there essentially means buying the first bearish retest in a strong macro downtrend. The trend is not bullish. It doesn’t take a genius to see that. The market hunts leverage, that’s its objective. The cartel needs to liquidate traders to make money. The house always wins. Once enough liquidity builds below, they’ll erase this artificial move up like it never happened. You call it strength. It isn’t. It’s an orchestrated TWAP bid designed to distribute into limit sells when the time is right. The big players, the hedge funds, have been shorting since 120K. Yet all it takes is a 10–20% bounce for people to start calling for targets 20–30% higher than their previous ones. It’s a shame. The same thing happened at 120K when people were calling for 150K. I remember the names. The same thing happened at 96K when people were calling for 100–104K. And now it’s happening again, with people calling for 80–85K.

@CaffeSatoshi Yes Satoshi was most likely Len but… We Are All Satoshi Now✊

Is Len Sassaman the REAL Satoshi Nakamoto? Buckle up, Bitcoiners. What if the creator of the world's biggest revolution died with the ultimate secret? Len Sassaman, cypherpunk legend, privacy warrior, gone too soon in 2011, fits the puzzle like a ghost in the machine. This isn't tinfoil. This is the theory that's exploding right now. Let's dive in... Picture this: It's 2008. Bitcoin whitepaper drops from "Satoshi Nakamoto." Who has the perfect resume? A guy who's been building anonymous systems since he was a teen. Len was maintaining Mixmaster — the gold standard for untraceable email. Adam Back (Hashcash inventor) once said Satoshi was probably a "remailer developer." Len was THAT guy. Coincidence? Or blueprint? 🔥 Timeline check: Len's in Belgium at KU Leuven, deep in the COSIC crypto lab. Satoshi's posts? British spelling ("grey," "maths," "flat," dd/mm/yyyy dates). Posting times line up with Belgian daytime. And get this, Satoshi went quiet during school terms... and ramped up on breaks. Len was studying. Mind blown yet? The smoking gun nobody talks about: the RARE BOOK. Bitcoin whitepaper cites obscure 1999 Belgian crypto papers (refs 2-5). Only available in KU Leuven library... where Len studied. Len even posted a Flickr pic with that exact book on HIS shelf. Satoshi had it. Len had it. Same place. Same time. 📚 Hal Finney connection: Hal was Bitcoin's FIRST recipient. They knew each other — Len worked on privacy tech with the same crew. Satoshi trusted Hal enough to send the very first coins. Len's inner circle? The exact cypherpunks who birthed digital cash dreams. This wasn't random. This was family. Len's genius level: Public-key crypto expert by age 22. Speaking at conferences. Building the tools that make Bitcoin possible. He obsessed over privacy, decentralization, taking power from banks — exactly Satoshi's manifesto. The whitepaper reads like his dissertation vibe. Clean. Precise. Revolutionary. Then the vanishing act. April 2011: Satoshi's last email, "I've moved on to other things." July 3, 2011: Len Sassaman dies tragically at 31. Forum posts stop cold. No more updates. No more clues. The creator vanishes the exact moment Len leaves us. Chills. Bonus: After Len's death, the Bitcoin community embedded a memorial in the blockchain itself. A tribute from his friends, right there in the ledger he might have invented. Poetic? Or a final wink from the man behind the mask? Len lived for anonymity. Never chased credit. Never cashed out. If anyone could create $1T+ empire... then walk away forever to protect the vision? It was him. Privacy above glory. That's the cypherpunk way. The evidence keeps stacking. The book. The timing. The tech. The silence. What if Satoshi didn't disappear... he just went home? Look, we'll never know for sure (that's the point of Bitcoin). But Len Sassaman? The clues line up too perfectly to ignore. A hero who coded freedom, then let the world wonder. Respect. 🫡 Your turn, crypto Twitter: Is Len Satoshi?

@secsovereign @CaffeSatoshi

· Satoshi posted in 2014, well after Sassaman died · Sassaman was a Mac user according to his widow, early versions of Bitcoin were Linux focused, Satoshi needed help with the Mac version · Sassaman was critical of "BitCoin" calling it "bunk" and successful due mostly to "irrational exuberance"
