A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started. Give me three minutes to explain why you should dump it now. Outflows from ETFs are signal and will continue. We will test the 57k low again in the next 12 months. Why? Because there are far too many dynamic places to put your money that are creating MUCH more value. Why put your resources into a dead network that offers nothing beyond a store of value? What's the point of place the BTC be if Bitcoin's Ponzi-scheme nature has gone away!?! The viral nature of bitcoin was it's power... if you didn't own you were MOCKED! Now? Completely reasonable, heck, SMARTER, to ignore bitcoin and place other bets! No one is trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin anymore... the memes and NFTs are gone. No one is saying $ BTC can change the world, because it won't — and BECAUSE AI HAS! Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence because one provides little to no value, and the other provides unlimited upside for humanity. This should be obvious to everyone right now. Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.

Bitcoin is the only major asset class primarily held by individuals. Bonds, stocks, and gold have existed for centuries. So naturally they are more institutionalized. As bitcoin matures, we expect ownership to shift towards institutions. Its ownership distribution will look more similar to gold. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing. It is simply the inevitable consequence of global adoption.

How inflation works: In 2023, you weighed 200 lbs. In 2024, you gained 20 lbs (+10%) In 2025, you gained 20 lbs (+9.1%) In 2026, you gained 20 lbs (+8.3%) Government: "You're healthy! Weight gain is down!"

~1.5 million bitcoin has been lost through self-custody, about the same as on exchanges. How you store your bitcoin matters. Your keys or not your keys, doing your due diligence is your responsibility.

1 million more bitcoin. That's how much businesses are on track to buy within five years. Our new report shows the biggest trends shaping business bitcoin adoption in 2026.

Inflation is the most important concept not taught in school.
Inflation is so much more than what the government tells you.

A simple proxy for success is Bitcoin's security budget rising in real terms over time. 10 years is 3 halvings away. So bitcoin's price must be at least 8 times higher (after adjusting for inflation) to maintain the same security budget, assuming tx fees stay near zero.
What does success look like for Bitcoin in 10 years?

For once, there is a real supply shock in bitcoin. This year: - Trading volumes are down 30% - Price is up 50% - 81% of the supply hasn’t moved in 6 months Our newsletter covers the details👇

This is what makes me so bullish right now. Price isn't moving because there are a ton of buyers. It's moving because no one is selling. Now imagine what happens when we see real volume.
US Spot Bitcoin ETFs had about $4.5 billion in trading volume today. Which isn't all that high considering the move in BTC itself. Even this past Friday was a slightly bigger day at $4.6 billion

This is the track record of an institution whose explicit mandate is "price stabilization." 🤡
Aren't these guys supposed to "stabilize prices"?

I stopped going to the barber in 2020. Instead of spending $35 for a haircut, I saved in bitcoin. 113 haircuts skipped... $10K saved... This is true conviction.
