Funny how people who despise Bitcoin also tend to hold shockingly bad opinions on other issues. If you find yourself defending pedophiles, or minimizing the severity of pedophilia; you’re not just wrong, you’re morally bankrupt. Enjoy staying poor, both financially and ethically.

Chaos may be inevitable in the short term, but eventually, markets will reorient themselves toward something more stable and predictable. The real question is: how long will that take, and how prepared will you be when it happens? Bitcoin is no longer just a fringe idea. It’s becoming a reserve asset for individuals and entire nations alike; used as a hedge against financial instability and human error. When implemented properly, a Bitcoin standard isn’t just theory; it’s a lifeboat built for the storm. Having no plan is one thing. Making it halfway to financial sovereignty and giving up is another. Don’t be that guy.

Bitcoin’s staying power is becoming undeniable, in my eyes, it’s second to none, and it won’t be long before that perspective becomes the norm. Its resilience now rivals that of entire nations, and the corporations within those nations would be wise to adopt Bitcoin strategically, or risk sharing the same fate as their failing governments. There’s a global shift underway; a trend toward Bitcoin adoption. When systems break down, and the pressure mounts, the tough don’t panic… they start stacking. In a world where everyone eventually plays by the same rules (Bitcoin), the only edge is first mover advantage. That edge may not be fully recognized yet, but it will be, and those who act early will be the ones best positioned. I’m here for the long haul. Price swings don’t rattle me; they just add entertainment. I don’t depend on any government or corporation to secure my future. As a man, I stack my own sats, not just for me, but like I’m stacking for my whole family.

The California House just passed a bill that I’m still on the fence about. It would allow the state to seize crypto assets left dormant on exchanges and transfer them to what they consider a safer custodian, presumably so the original owner can reclaim them later with less risk of loss due to hacks or negligence. My main advice remains: get your coins off exchanges, but even if you don’t take that advice, your local government might end up doing it for you. Now, is it worse for the state to move people’s assets for their own good, or for someone to leave their coins sitting on an exchange for three years without even logging in? It sounds wild, but apparently people really do that. Imagine finding out a full coin of yours ended up in the state’s unclaimed property registry because you forgot about it. Personally, I think everyone should self custody, but let’s be honest; if someone hasn’t checked their account in over three years, they’re probably not interested in what I or anyone else has to say about responsible storage. At the end of the day, this really only matters to two groups: larpers and normies, and even then, they’re not going to benefit unless the asset in question is Bitcoin. Imagine going to claim some rug pull token like it’s an inheritance.

Is quantum computing a threat to Bitcoin and possibly an agent of chaos? Not uniquely. If quantum computing becomes powerful enough to compromise Bitcoin, it would pose a much broader threat. That includes online banking, traditional payment systems, stock exchanges, secure web browsing, email, VPNs, classified communications, defense infrastructure, diplomatic channels, medical records, pacemakers, smart grids, supply chains, and cloud services. Bitcoin wouldn’t be the canary in the coal mine; it would be one of many systems affected. Ironically, Bitcoin remains one of the most asymmetric bets in the face of quantum uncertainty. It’s the only major protocol where concern over an event possibly decades away is already being debated and preemptively addressed…something most industries punt down to the next executive or administration. That level of forward looking scrutiny actually makes me more bullish, not less. In a quantum capable world, anyone, including bad actors, would have a choice: try to attack and destabilize Bitcoin (which could tank their own asset holdings), or use their power to help secure the network and claim the rewards. Why destroy the boat you’re sailing in? The incentives to secure rather than sabotage are powerful. It’s also worth noting that the computational cost to break Bitcoin’s encryption might simply be better spent elsewhere. Bitcoin’s encryption isn’t uniquely weak; it’s among the strongest, and in cybersecurity, you don’t have to outrun the bear; you just have to outrun the slowest person. Many systems are more vulnerable than Bitcoin…not to mention painstakingly more valuable. Eventually, Bitcoin will become quantum resistant. The real challenge is coordination: will that happen before or after a successful quantum attack? That’s the key unknown. But even a successful attack wouldn’t render Bitcoin invalid; it would likely trigger panic and present a once in a generation buying opportunity. Updating Bitcoin for quantum resistance will open a can of worms. It’ll require changes to more than one component of its design, and that brings debate, trade-offs, and preferences, but this is expected and healthy; how open systems evolve. It’s also worth noting: newer Bitcoin addresses are less vulnerable to quantum attacks, due to how public keys are handled. The threat is real, but it’s not universal, and not immediate. So what happens when quantum’s eventual threat meets Bitcoin’s inevitable truth? Growth. Betting against Bitcoin because of quantum computing will, in the long run, prove to be a mistake.

I find it telling when people try to put Bitcoiners in a box; it usually signals ignorance. Anyone who takes a genuine look at the Bitcoin community will quickly realize how diverse it is, both in lifestyle and ideology, even within Bitcoin specific debates. You can’t take one person’s views or actions and extrapolate them to represent the whole. Bitcoin stands apart from every government. It’s an alternative to the system: one that can be embraced, but never controlled. That’s why it’s ironic to see people who once tried to ban it now labeling it as right wing. It isn’t. Bitcoiners would welcome any politician who supports Bitcoin the way Trump has, regardless of party. One side happened to reject it, the other embraced it. If the roles were reversed, the support would be too. Bitcoin is bipartisan by nature; anyone who advocates for it is worth celebrating. Some of the biggest threats to Bitcoin’s adoption aren’t technical, they’re social. Polarization, tribal branding, and cultural gatekeeping hurt more than they help. Bitcoin was designed for inclusion, as an open network for anyone to benefit from. Don’t let your dislike for a certain group blind you to that. Bitcoin is for everyone, including your enemies. Refusing to accept that could have long term, compounding consequences. Bitcoin is the king in a world full of crooks. If you reject Bitcoin just because your opponent didn’t, and opt for something else out of spite, that’s your choice. Bitcoin is already powerful today. But imagine what happens when regulations shift even more in its favor. It would be ironic if a future leader reversed all of Trump’s progress with Bitcoin, though realistically, they might have to support it to remain competitive. Bitcoin breaks you down, stripping away illusions with its relentless volatility and complexity, but once you seize the reins, it rebuilds you: tougher, truer, and unapologetically yourself, forged in the fire of its decentralized truth. I like that Trump supports Bitcoin. But I’m not buying his coins. To me, Bitcoin still feels too undervalued to be thinking about diversifying, and I still believe it’s misguided to idolize any man as more than human. My goal is simple: be the best version of myself, and earn more Bitcoin.

I don’t like to suggest a fixed amount of Bitcoin as enough. Everyone’s situation is different: financially, psychologically, and in terms of goals, so there’s no one size fits all number. What I do recommend is simple: get some exposure if you haven’t already, and build that position slowly at a pace you’re comfortable with. This approach doesn’t just grow your holdings; it also helps you build tolerance for Bitcoin’s volatility over time. When you approach Bitcoin this way, it becomes an exit strategy, not a wild ride you’re planning to jump off. I stay productive because I have to survive, but Bitcoin motivates me to go further. I know that any extra value I create and store in Bitcoin is value that won’t be taken from me, and that’s a powerful incentive.

Worried about a dip in the Bitcoin price? Take that fear and smack it with your purse. Strangely enough, the hardest times to HODL often turn out to be the best. I’ve bought lower and higher: in the end, every one of those buys will be solid. Some just take a little longer to show their worth. Sideways markets are underrated. They quietly offer an extended discount; the longer they last, the better the opportunity. I try not to set expectations for Bitcoin. It’s a remarkable, decentralized project that’s grown to an incredible scale, and every day it continues to exist is something worth appreciating.

Life and bitcoin are about channeling universal energy to find equilibrium. Life and bitcoin require no authority, their creation took place, and since they’ve been. Life and bitcoin’s benefits are subjective, and that’s the entire point, they are what you make them.

My secret to stacking bitcoin at cycle bottoms and seeing eye watering fiat returns: I’m always buying…I also bought the top. Ever wonder how many people regret buying previous cycle tops? EVERYONE regrets buying the top…until the next cycle.
