Still running Bitcoin
Mandrik
I stopped telling people to buy Bitcoin years ago.
I'm not an investor. I don't want to manage a portfolio. I certainly don't want to advise others.
I'm ok with all my eggs in one basket.
Other assets will have their days. People will point to a specific timeframe and say "I told you so!"
That's ok. Enjoy your time in the sun.
Up or down, I'm a Bitcoin holder. It has changed my life for the better in every way.
And it wouldn't have happened if I listened to everyone else's advice.
I'll always do what I think is best.
You should, too.
People who think freezing funds is ok are the true enemies of Bitcoin.
The normalization of gambling in all aspects of life, and at all ages, feels like the beginning of the downfall of society.
The blackest of black pills.
I refuse to participate.
Bitcoin is no gamble. The orange pill is our best chance for the future.
I started playing Old School Runescape this year and I kinda dig it. I only play when I'm on my treadmill (which I use a lot more in the winter).
Basically a solo player mmo that I can do at my own pace. Totally a vibe.
I'm a gamer for life, but I certainly don't let games control my life like they did in my teens and early 20s. I love to play when I have the free time.
My 2026 New Years Resolution is to bake zero pans of baklava.
Want to expose your family members to Bitcoin?
Don't send them to exchanges.
Don't tell them to buy ETFs.
Sell them sats for cash. Peer-to-peer transaction sent directly to their non-custodial wallet.
The orange standard of Bitcoin experiences.
