I can say with bold confidence that I have no idea what comes next, and that’s exactly the point. Conviction doesn’t require certainty; it only requires clarity of purpose. I’m not here to speculate. I’m here to stack. Every dip is a win because it buys more future. Every pump is a win because it proves the thesis. Either way, I stay the course. In a world defined by volatility, I don’t chase critical levels; I acknowledge only current ones. The signal is not in the noise, but in how consistently you show up despite it.

America was founded on the promise of freedom: economic, personal, and political. Yet its resistance to Bitcoin, the most potent form of freedom money, reveals just how far we’ve drifted from those founding ideals. The land of the free now fears the implications of financial sovereignty. Fiat is a form of controlled chaos engineered, manipulated, and endlessly diluted. It offers the illusion of stability while quietly eroding the foundations of value, trust, and time. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is constructive chaos. It doesn’t pretend to eliminate volatility; it embraces it as the price of truth and freedom. Where fiat destroys from the inside out, Bitcoin refines. You can manage chaos for a while, but you cannot control the infinite, and that’s exactly what Bitcoin represents: a naturally ordered form of monetary entropy that resists capture, coercion, and decay. It balances chaos with code, unpredictability with discipline. In that balance, there is hope; not for perfection, but for a system aligned with reality. Bitcoin won’t fix the world because it’s perfect. It will fix the world because it refuses to lie.

There will come a day when Bitcoin is considered old money: established, trusted, and quietly powerful. I look forward to that era, not because the volatility will be gone, but because it will mean the visionaries I follow today, many of whom feel like modern day Gatsbys, will have reshaped the very meaning of wealth. But unlike Gatsby, their pursuits aren’t hollow. The things being built, bought, and created in this movement aren’t meant to fill a void; they’re meant to enrich the human experience. To express freedom, creativity, and sovereignty. Volatility, for all its discomforts, breeds character. It filters out the faint hearted and forces introspection. In a world increasingly defined by conformity and algorithmic sameness, Bitcoin culture feels like a magnet for individuals, real ones. The kind of people who refuse to be molded into templates. We’re living through a profound shift in perception: Bitcoin is no longer dismissed as a threat or a joke; it’s beginning to be recognized as something far more resilient, elegant, and powerful than most could’ve imagined, and witnessing that transformation in real time is nothing short of inspiring.

With Block’s recent addition, there are now three companies in the S&P 500 that hold Bitcoin; a subtle but significant milestone, and I’m bullish that this number will grow. We’ve come a long way from Bitcoin’s early days, but somehow it still feels like we’re at the very beginning of a much larger shift. A shift not just in markets, but in mindset, infrastructure, and how capital allocators think about long term resilience. Block may not have the market cap of Tesla or Coinbase, but its inclusion matters for a different reason. Unlike the others, Block is led by someone I’d actually consider a Bitcoiner. Jack Dorsey isn’t hedging, he’s building for a Bitcoin future. What’s most remarkable is that even conservative, index bound investors are now gaining indirect exposure to Bitcoin; often without even realizing it, and if that much can happen from just three companies, imagine what it will look like when a company like Strategy makes its way into the index. A true stacking machine, structurally embedded in mainstream portfolios.

I remember when Bitcoin was sitting at $15k and everyone swore we were headed to $12k. Turns out they were just missing a zero. Price is less a prediction tool and more of a Richter scale; testing the strength of your conviction. Psychological barriers aren’t real walls; they’re just thresholds that separate those with durable hands from those without. Bitcoin is like a volatile symphony. The notes may repeat, but the progression is never quite the same. Every pump, every correction, every discount; I’m here for it. Singing along with the rhythm, not fighting the music. The fact that Bitcoin climbed from less than a penny to $120,000 in just 16 years isn’t just historical, it’s a preview. A warning shot. A sign of the absurdities still to come in a world trying to price something truly scarce for the first time.

There is no alternative to the alternative. The very terms altcoin and altseason are misleading, probably by design. They suggest a legitimate parallel to Bitcoin, when in reality, most so called alternatives exist primarily as distractions, driven by marketing cycles rather than monetary breakthroughs. A more accurate name might be paid shill season or advertising pump season, because that’s what most of it is; carefully timed hype cycles manufactured to benefit insiders at the expense of the uninformed. Imagine if Satoshi had stuck around to time every top with a new announcement and every bottom with a buy in. That’s the role many paid promoters now play, posing as thought leaders while quietly cashing in. The irony is that the most aggressively promoted alternative hasn’t even broken its 2021 all time high, and it still hasn’t been surpassed. That alone speaks volumes about the state of the broader crypto ecosystem: it’s not innovation driving it, but orchestration. On a different note, my grandfather once gave me a piece of financial wisdom: take bigger risks in your youth, then become more conservative as you age. The logic is simple: the less time you have, the less risk you can afford to carry. What struck me about this advice wasn’t just the math, but the time dimension of risk. Risk isn’t merely about money; it’s about how much time you have to recover or compound. He probably meant a traditional glide path: something like going from a 60/40 stock-bond allocation to 40/60, but for me, that framework doesn’t quite fit. I think in terms of Bitcoin, then more Bitcoin. If diminishing returns prove to be real, I may never need to rebalance, but I don’t think I’d ever truly rebalance out of it, even if we hit a hockey stick moment and I’m 95, because at that point, it’s not just a trade…it’s a legacy. When I imagine the world after 2140, when the last satoshi is mined, I wonder how future generations will perceive the opportunity we had. Maybe Bitcoin will trade like a hybrid between a monetary metal and a high growth tech sector or maybe something entirely new. Either way, I hope that when my descendants look back, they’ll see the risk I took not just as an investment choice, but as an invitation to think for themselves and take meaningful risks of their own.

I like Bitcoin because I don’t need to speculate on its fiat price. Its value proposition isn’t rooted in short term price action, but in the long term strength of its monetary policy; one that’s more transparent, predictable, and disciplined than fiat currencies or even gold. That alone gives me confidence in its ability to preserve and grow purchasing power over time. When it comes to forecasting the future, I remain skeptical…whether it’s humans or artificial intelligence attempting to do so. AIs, at their core, are still built from human data and shaped by human biases. They may be faster or more consistent, but they’re not inherently more clairvoyant. I choose to live a life grounded in appreciation rather than prediction. Gratitude isn’t a guess; it’s an acknowledgment of what’s already true and meaningful in my life. That perspective gives me clarity no model or forecast ever could. So while I don’t pretend to know exactly what Bitcoin’s future looks like, I’m comfortable saying this much: I believe it’s going to be extraordinarily bright. Not because I’ve run the numbers, but because I understand the principles, and I’ve seen what it inspires.
