Understanding Bitcoin alone makes you a weaker version of yourself.
You feel the truth in your bones...
But feeling it isn't the same as belonging to it.
The strength lives in the network, not the knowledge.

Only a fraction of a fraction get to choose what they work on.
Everyone else is just surviving.
The breakthroughs we're waiting on are locked in minds we've never heard from.
Billions of them.
Feed them, power them, and the future gets stranger than anyone predicts.

The hardest part wasn't doubting Bitcoin.
It was accepting it's obviously true.
And almost no one else sees it yet.
Every generation had its version of this.
This one is ours.

You buy bitcoin wanting to make money and unintentionally learn about the entire universe in the process.
Money. Time. Energy. Human nature. Philosophy. Education. Why everything feels so fucked.
You came here to get rich and now you can’t look at anything the same.
The weirdest part is trying to explain that to someone who thinks you just bought an imaginary coin.
Life changing paradigm switch.

Bitcoin is the greatest intellectual puzzle of all times.
It's completely open source.
Anyone can copy it.
Or try to change it.
But none of those tweaks has any real value.
Meanwhile, over the last 16 years, Bitcoin has gone up one million times.
Making it the top asset class of all asset classes.
And its price and adoption follow a precise power law.
With 96% correlation.
It is on path to absorbing all value in the Solar System.
Completely crushing the entire stock market.
The bond market.
Gold.
Real Estate.
And it does this with no earnings.
No "intrinsic value".
It can't be stopped or banned.
It can be ignored, but the adoption keeps increasing.
In Bull Markets and Bears.
It is something fundamental like language.
Or fire.
Or electricity.
An inevitable discovery that will take civilisation to the next level.

Your Bitcoin journey should be a path toward freedom, not a way to make more fiat money.

What happens when Michael Saylor’s preferreds hit par and he starts buying bitcoin in size at the same time as other treasury companies.
With no sellers left, we could be looking at much higher prices in a very short time.

Let me say this very clearly.
You are under-allocated to Bitcoin.
The scale, the significance, and the speed of the transformation that is coming will be unlike anything humanity has ever seen.
After it is finished, you will wish you had been 100% allocated to Bitcoin, much like you wish you were 100% allocated to Bitcoin when it first started.
The lesson has been the same all along.
P.S.
Your allocation to Bitcoin reflects your understanding of it. You will not allocate 100% of your capital to Bitcoin, and you will not reap the benefits from said allocation, unless and until you put in the work to understand why a 100% allocation is the superior decision.
As always, the proof-of-work speaks for itself.

We think we understand $BTC scarcity. But do we really?
What if you logged onto multiple exchanges and were met with this message for days on end? This would be true, violent, price discovery.

WARREN BUFFETT STEPS DOWN AFTER 56 YEARS, LEAVING BEHIND A WARNING ON CURRENCY DEBASEMENT
“Father Time always wins.”
Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, ending a 56-year run at the helm of the company.
The 96-year-old will remain on the board as chairman emeritus, with his son Howard Buffett taking over as chairman.
In one of Buffett’s final years running Berkshire, he warned that the biggest long-term threat investors face is something they cannot escape, currency debasement.
“The tendency of a government to want to debase its currency over time… there’s no system that beats that.”
“The natural course of government is to make the currency worthless over time.”

I’ve said many times that the CLARITY Act is essential to ensuring America wins the global race for new technology. That’s the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act: to ensure that stablecoin infrastructure, a revolutionary financial technology, will be built in America.
Ensuring that America’s community bank sector continues to thrive has been a constant focus of mine since day one. And the administration’s dual focus on enabling new digital technology to flourish and appropriately tailoring community bank regulation is key to both sectors driving U.S. economic growth together over the next several decades.
The final draft of the CLARITY Act furthers this mission. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury additional authority to act if the facts around deposit flight change to the detriment of community banks. If stablecoins cause harm to community banks, I will not hesitate to use these tools to ensure they remain fully protected. Community banks are essential to U.S. economic performance and Main Street growth. Economic security is national security, and community banks play a major role in this principle.

Bitcoin is money
Removing cap gains tax on Bitcoin transactions is the #1 most important thing for adoption right now.
There are tens of thousands of businesses accepting Bitcoin at this point. Calculating cap gains on small transactions is a waste of time for everyone involved and benefits no one
I’ll keep pounding this drum until logic prevails
