Sending Bitcoin has rarely been this cheap. The network is proving that being different doesn’t mean being inefficient; it means being resilient. Now is an ideal time to consolidate UTXOs, move funds, or onboard new users to Bitcoin and self custody. These low fees are a reminder that Bitcoin isn’t just an asset; it’s a financial system that operates on its own terms. Banks control your money. They decide when you can access it, take weekends and holidays off, and impose arbitrary restrictions. Bitcoin, on the other hand, never stops. This very weekend, while banks remain closed, Bitcoin quietly cleared its backlog like a worker finishing up surplus work after a busy week, err more like 2 years, but still, without permission, without delays. Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized, censorship-resistant, and sound money humanity has ever known. It doesn’t ask for trust, it proves itself. And right now, it’s proving that an open, unstoppable financial system isn’t just possible…it’s already here.

#Bitcoin is undergoing a fundamental shift: from a retail driven market to one dominated by institutional players. This transition brings deeper liquidity, larger capital flows, and a reduction in emotional, reactionary trading. As a result, the familiar market patterns shaped by retail sentiment may evolve into something entirely different. More importantly, Bitcoin is emerging as the most reliable macroeconomic indicator. With greater institutional adoption, its efficiency in reflecting global economic conditions will only improve. This may seem counterintuitive. How does the influx of less emotional, more data driven participants make Bitcoin a better signal? The answer lies in the weight of institutional movements. A Bitcoin sell off in a retail driven market often stems from panic, but when institutions exit, it signals something far more significant; akin to watching the most stoic person you know suddenly tremble in fear. Whether this shift results in more or less volatility remains uncertain. But what it does confirm is just how early we still are. We are witnessing the emergence of a new financial force, one that is still maturing, still unpredictable, and still defying expectations. In the world of global assets and commodities, Bitcoin is just getting started, still wet behind the ears, yet already reshaping the financial landscape.

HONEST MISTAKE View quoted note →

Speculating on how individuals, institutions, and governments that refuse to adopt Bitcoin will fare is entertaining, but watching it unfold in real time is far more rewarding. The economic landscape is shifting, and those who fail to recognize Bitcoin’s role as the ultimate reserve asset are setting themselves up for irrelevance. Who exactly do Bitcoin skeptics think they’re helping? Certainly not themselves. Certainly not the unbanked. Certainly not those seeking financial sovereignty. If anything, they’re helping Bitcoiners by removing competition for the hardest money ever created. Every sat they dismiss today is one they’ll scramble to acquire later; at a far higher price. As for those who clutch their pearls over Bitcoin’s use in illicit finance…do I care? Not in the slightest. The real crime isn’t peer-to-peer transactions; it’s the legalized counterfeiting and systemic theft that define central banking. Central banks don’t just manage economies; they siphon wealth through inflation, debasing the money people work for while enriching those closest to the printing press. Bitcoin doesn’t steal from anyone; it’s simply a mirror exposing a rigged game. Bitcoin is not the villain of this story. It’s the protagonist, the antidote, the reckoning. And as this monetary revolution continues, those who resist it will find themselves at the mercy of those who embraced it early. The wealth gap of the future won’t be between the rich and poor; it’ll be between those who hold Bitcoin and those who don’t.

Bitcoin Only. I respect pragmatic Bitcoiners: those who understand the mission while navigating reality. But anyone who claims to be the [insert asset] equivalent of a Bitcoiner is either mistaken or misleading. Intentional or not, it’s dishonest. Bitcoin isn’t about enriching a select few; it’s about empowering everyone. I’m not here to pump my own bags; I’m here to pump the people’s bags. If it’s not the people’s money, then you’re not pumping the people’s bags. My conviction is unshakable. I know that neither life nor price moves in a straight line. Drawdowns aren’t setbacks; they’re tests. And if you have the strength to keep stacking, they become your greatest opportunities.

Chinese AI tanking markets? And I get discounted sats? Alright, alright, alright. What’s even more impressive is how well BlackRock has navigated the chaos. I would’ve assumed they had heavier exposure to American AI, but clearly, they’re playing a smarter game. Their ability to adapt and hedge risk speaks volumes; while retail panics, the real players position themselves for what’s next. As for me? I’ll take the cheap sats and let Bitcoin do what it does best: front-run the failure of legacy finance.
