tldr from a @npub1qh5s...eh9r Article The only thing we can know for sure, is that the price has gone sideways for 12-months, whilst a conservative estimate would show hundreds of billions of dollars worth of coin have changed hands. The thing that strikes me again and again about this cycle, is how massive the sell-side pressure has been…and how little the price has collapsed in response. What I do know, is that when those sellers do dry up… …I think they will have ended up selling their coins to entities who have no interest in selling. BULLISH

I've been tinkering with this idea for a few days now—hoping to have it polished and ready for you all to read by this weekend. Sneak peak below In a world overflowing with gadgets, new cars, flat-screen TVs, and more, I've noticed something peculiar about human behavior: we treat our mass-produced items like priceless artifacts in a museum. We encase our smartphones in bulky cases, slap on screen protectors, apply thin films to our laptops, park brand-new cars under covers to avoid a single bird dropping, and even shrink-wrap TVs in storage to preserve that factory-fresh shine—all in the name of maintaining that "mint condition". But why? And more importantly, what does this say about our priorities when we often neglect the one irreplaceable asset we've had since day one—our bodies? This got me pondering: why lavish meticulous care on our possessions while treating our bodies with casual indifference?Let's unpack the "how" and "why" of our curator-like devotion to objects, blending psychological biases, economic incentives, and cultural norms. Then, I'll invert the lens: if we zealously shield replaceable gadgets, why do we neglect the truly irreplaceable—our bodies? Yet here's the twist: not every culture idolizes flawlessness. Some revere the grace of wear, and embracing that philosophy for our lives could unlock deeper fulfillment.
