If I could compare this article to anything it would be a good wine: full bodied, complex, well balanced, and if you consume enough of it you'll suffer from anxiety the following day.

@ronin21btc Complete ban on any future home ownership. Added to "Home Renovation Offenders Register"

What do you think the punishment should be?

@RobHoffman_ @mike_rama7 Bingo 😅

@thetomlimb @mike_rama7 you running off pure coldbrew or what

I know a Founder who works 1/10th as much as me but earns 10x as much he thinks about productivity different than most founders if you can relate to this statement from my friend @mike_rama7, you're probably among this tragic majority (like me): "you're addicted to chaos because your nervous system doesn't want peace. It wants what's familiar." this is how I, and most Founders I know, operate: we're fuelled by adrenaline and stress hormones this works great short term because we get a lot done in short bursts so we repeat the cycle and for a while we get results so we get addicted but eventually the stress accumulates and your body rebels you develop unexplainable health issues, exhaustion, anxiety... most importantly: your productivity suffers because you can't think clearly or be consistent the best founders and CEOs get leverage from making great decisions and focusing on the right things lately I've been trying to build habits that fuel clear thinking and consistency...not short bursts of chaotic output my theory: reduce stress to increase productivity let me know if you can relate!

@stackhodler It's very depressing that so many people (and increasing in numbers) believe the moon landings were faked.

@BTCBreadMan Good bait

I’m done with this entire fucking circus. Closed every position and I hope the charts nuke straight to zero. I wasted YEARS listening to delusional clowns call this space the future while selling out all infrastructure to ai and building nothing but gambling products. Enjoy holding fake worthless “bitcoins” and treasury companies. I’m out.

@Andercot Top prize, which immediately becomes worthless once you claim it. Well done.

Six years ago it we thought it'd take 10 million qubits to break any Bitcoin public key. Four years ago it was 2 million qubits. 16 hours ago Google published a paper showing it can be done with 500,000 qubits in 20 minutes. Race is on. Top prize? $76 billion: Satoshi wallet

the cool thing about bitcoin being open source is that anyone can write a PQC BIP for Bitcoin and we can all decide to merge it and bypass Core if we want. people did this shit over JPEGs ffs - you’re telling me we can’t do it for quantum?

It's a very depressing aspect of being in btc. Not only do you have to deal with the infighting between btc maxis, but also people who want to tear it down, either because they are emotional about it (didn't buy/sold too early), or because they have heavily vested interests elsewhere. It sucks but I also see it as an inevitable part of bitcoin's journey and a reflection of human nature more broadly.

@AloisSchmalzl fear definitely is a more visceral emotion. but going a step deeper - there's a strong sense of ENVY that underpins the general bitcoin narrative within millions of ppl curious on how that gets overcome

the sad reality of being a bitcoin content creator is realizing that there is a bigger, mass market appetite in seeing proof of bitcoin failing than proof of it succeeding

@kit_sats Not buying enough in 2013

What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in bitcoin?

The Bitcoin community must prepare for the biggest astroturfing campaign we have ever seen. It's clear that quantum will be the major attack vector against Bitcoin for the next few years until a conclusive solution is found. Most of the FUD will be completely unfounded and intended to separate you from your coins. Do not underestimate the vested interest in pushing this narrative far beyond what is necessary because they stand to benefit enormously. Think quantum VC funds and shitcoins trying to promote themselves as "quantum resistant" alternatives. And the attention seekers. Never forget about them. While it is clear that the Bitcoin network needs to become quantum resistant, please understand that some of the smartest developers in the world are working on this and have been for years. Most of the discussion does not happen in public but believe it is a priority and of upmost importance. Bitcoin will be fine.

@InvestingAddict Agreed. Good investing is about managing risk, not maximising returns.

Here is why I would never go 100% into Bitcoin: First, I love Bitcoin. I own a lot of it. Second, if you are 100% Bitcoin I respect your conviction. This post is about me. Do I think Bitcoin will be successful? Yes. Does anyone know for sure? Absolutely not. Can the S&P 500 succeed without Bitcoin? Yes. Can Bitcoin succeed without the S&P 500? No because the world would be over. If Bitcoin succeeds I will be extremely well off because I own it and continue to buy it. If Bitcoin fails I will still be extremely well off because I invest in the S&P 500 continuously. It doesn’t need to be all or nothing. The risk reward isn’t there for me. Nobody truly knows anything 100% That is just my personal view.

@ZynxBTC Actually pretty good idea

The Government should issue a £100bn British Bitcoin bond with a coupon of 2%. Buy Bitcoin and split the profits with the bond buyers TAX FREE. When Bitcoin is worth £3mil a coin by 2045, we could pay off the UK's national debt and usher in a new Golden Age for Britain. I'm more confident in Bitcoin reaching £3mil a coin than any British Government balancing the books and paying off the debt. Might as well take a chance, the ship is sinking anyway.

@mikesmithshow @LayahHeilpern Stop using AI to write your posts

This is the take nobody wants to hear on a Monday morning. BTC at -46% feels like a sale until you realize the war premium hasn't even fully priced in yet. Hormuz blocked = energy crisis = liquidity drain = more downside before the real bottom. Patience pays more than panic buying.

Bitcoin is down 46% from its ATH and people think that's the discount. Now is not a bad buying opportunity but: - Iran war is only 30 days in - Oil is above $100 - Hormuz is still blocked The discount is going to come after the damage, not during it.

@TheDanMan007Fan This is honestly the dumbest chart to illustrate your point. But also pretty sure it's rage bait, so well done you.

Most Bitcoiners don’t understand this chart to the slightest degree

@BehizyTweets El Salvador is quickly turning into the Singapore of the Americas. Truly impressive transformation.

One of the most impressive things happening in El Salvador right now is that they are literally renovating or building two new schools EVERY SINGLE DAY. Bukele launched this last year, and the results are astonishing. They've done 624 schools so far, and there's a site to monitor progress for each school. Many of the workers are non-violent criminals who once terrorized the same communities. Now they work to repay their debt & earn some time off their sentence.

@mikealfred Accurate

@YourFriendAndy @Budgetdog_ I already am but that's irrelevant

@thetomlimb @Budgetdog_ So you don't want to be a millionaire/multimillionaire then?

Unpopular opinion: .1 BTC isn’t going to be enough to be wealthy. Not even close.

@YourFriendAndy @Budgetdog_ Quite possibly, but by then being a millionaire will not be special

@Budgetdog_ Maybe enough to be a millionaire one day, but mostly it’s a great starter amount.

@GuyTalksFinance Being a millionaire is going to be easy when the currency gets debased to oblivion

A stock market crash would be a generational buying opportunity for long term investors. If you understand that there’s no question that you’re going to be a millionaire.

@d_1awrence @AdamBLiv Exactly. The risk/reward is not worth it at all.

It's a bit too risky for me this one Adam. 😂 Putting 4.25 BTC at risk to earn $750k in a decade when you're already projecting a 25x without the leverage feels a bit of an unnecessary risk. From what I can see, the loan companies charge c.10% APR and the loans are over 12 months. You can keep rolling them over, over 10 years but in that scenario your original $100k loan would now be c.$259,374. Are you seeing loan companies that operate differently?

🔥GENIUS EARLY RETIREMENT LIFE HACK🔥 You can make $750k for FREE with STRK. Don't believe me? Step 1 - Deposit 4.25 BTC ($303k) as collateral at 33% LTV. Get a $100k loan. Liquidation price is ~$35k, meaning BTC would need to drop another 50% from here to get margin called. Step 2 - Buy 1,381 shares of STRK at $72.40. Step 3 - STRK pays 10.5% = $10,500/year in dividends. Your loan costs 10.5% = $10,500/year. Perfect wash. Every dollar of dividend income services the debt. Net carry cost over 10 years: $0. You hold STRK for FREE. Step 4 - BTC goes to $1.6M in ten years (power law). Your 4.25 BTC collateral is now worth $6.85M. The $100k loan is 1.46% of your collateral value. Step 5 - MSTR rides 22.6x BTC growth × 1.33x NAV premium × 1.63x BTC/share accretion = 49x multiplier. MSTR goes from $126 to roughly $6,167. Step 6 - Convert 1,381 STRK into 138.1 MSTR shares. Value: $851,608. Step 7 - Pay off the $100k loan. Net from the STRK play: $751,608. Step 8 - Get your 4.25 BTC back. Worth $6.85M. Final scorecard: $303k turns into $7.6M (25x, 38.0% CAGR). Pure HODL would’ve been $6.85M. The STRK play added $751,608 of free alpha on top at zero net cost. Dividends covered interest. Your BTC never left. It just worked harder.
