Bitcoin is behaving like a bullet train.
It's stopping periodically to let long term holders off...
But as soon as the last genius has "taken profits" and given up their seat to institutional capital, Bitcoin teleports to the next station in the blink of an eye.
Max pain is that it just keeps doing this for the next few years.
And everyone who thinks they're selling the top ends up handing over their generational wealth for a fraction of its true value.
All because they were tricked by Bitcoin's early adoption phase and didn't recognize the phase shift.
They didn't recognize that BlackRock, governments, corporations, and central banks bidding for Bitcoin was fundamentally different than Stu Pidasso punting his payday loan into a basket of shitcoins on Coinbase.
Sure, maybe we get another typical cycle.
But one thing is certain: The buyers this cycle are fundamentally different than previous cycles.
And there are many signs that the idea of Bitcoin as the ultimate store of value asset is catching on.
- The US president is buying Bitcoin.
- Central bankers are considering allocating to BTC.
- Senators are talking about selling gold reserves to stack BTC.
- The Fed and SEC have given their blessing for the big banks to get involved.
- Custody, lending products, etc. It's all coming.
The BlackRock ETFs were just the start of a long period of integration of Bitcoin into the traditional financial system.
And when we look back 10 years from now, it will be clear that 2025 was still very early in the Bitcoin story.
My goal isn't to scare you out of securing life profits when you hit life-changing numbers.
The point of owning Bitcoin is to improve your family's quality of life.
But if you do sell some Sats, just make sure you're comfortable with never seeing them again.
