PSA: If you’ve never seen the movie “Network”, I’m hoping you’ll do yourself a favor and experience what many have called the greatest screenplay ever filmed. Trust me. You have no idea what this 50 year old movie continues to reveal about our culture.

Technical Analysis as we know it developed in a Fiat system. Therefore - and by definition - it breaks under a sound-money, deflationary money transition. The basic concepts, ideas and measurements still hold, but they have to be recalculated from the ground up to provide meaningful action. For instance, the Bitcoin bull-market of Jan 2024 to Dec 2025 was a classic bull market. But the Bear Market Bitcoin entered in May of 2025 has still yet to be recognized as a classic Bear Market - in a sound-money system. tl;dr - Bear Markets now go sideways w/ reduced volatility until conditions usher in a new Bull run.

The extravagantly Wealthy have never cared about currency fluctuations, monetary policy, interest rates, market fluctuations et al. Not for generations. What they HAVE always cared about is asset stability & secure yield. None of that is available to them anymore. None of it. This is why they (and we) are all recognizing that the financial gyroscope is careening too, too wildly. If you’re selling Bitcoin right now, you’re so far ahead of the curve you’re losing. I get it, but please…let your profits run. Just another couple years or so. Because every financial manager, organization, nation state, etc is zero-ing in on the same unassailable conclusion:

Mark my words, Bitcoin is going to be really popular again at $95,000. So gird thy loins.

A few months ago I used Bitcoin to fund 3 loans to buy a home that had a quick closing. It took maybe an hour, over time. (I went with Debifi). My credit score obv never came into play, only my pristine collateral. The mortgage finally came through 2 1/2 months later, which I used to buy back Bitcoin at a worse price. Because Banking hasn’t been able to fucking streamline mortgages in over 100 years. Bitcoin IS BUILDING an industry that makes modern banking a laughable joke. View quoted note →

Here’s a 1 Year chart of WTI Crude priced in Bitcoin. (Longer-term charts are ridiculously over-weighted, but arguably don’t reflect the entry of Investment Houses and Corporations into Bitcoin, so let’s focus on just the past year). This is LITERALLY the only chart that matters: The world’s most important material resource priced in the world’s most important monetary resource. EVERYTHING else is noise. THIS is signal. Countries not stacking Bitcoin are not going to make it.

I’m coining a new term: Bitcoin Boomers. Because the OG Bitcoin Boomers are dumping their easy-earned gains on the head’s of subsequent generations and forcing them to swim upstream just to stay afloat.

@Bitcoinbekka I’ll always be a fanboi for how for a while you would fearlessly alpha Michael Saylor in tweets in his early days. It was glorious. Nobody but Nobody could get away with how you trolled a major CEO. Yet in Bitcoin world, you helped introduce him to the playground, and let him know the rules…and he got that. In that way, I believe you played a very pivotal role to reveal Saylor as a true Bitcoiner. Appreciated you. View quoted note →

I think its important to remind ourselves that for virtually everyone in the Fiat system it makes complete sense that you obey the orders of someone that you work for, and at the end of a “pay-period” you get credits to give to other people who obey the orders of someone THEY work for. Yes, Bitcoin is Freedom Technology…but it won’t be adopted quickly, because few are able to understand. It will take decades to break the collective unconsciousness. Prepare accordingly.

Well said! Nostr is perhaps happily doomed to be the place where people can just be. Fwiw the very wealthy realized centuries ago that “Gentlemen’s Clubs” would rule “Social Media” nine ways to Sunday. Be Small but Mighty and choose your friends wisely. View quoted note →
