The 3-Letter Agencies are running the show. We all know that, right? So we don’t have a Country anymore.

That’s an awkward statement, and I’m wondering if it is translated properly. View quoted note →

“If they are playing around with viruses that have this kind of mortality rate…it needs to get exposed.” On the BTC blockchain. Watch this video. o7 Marty.

The final test in Bitcoin is always to understand and embrace the Cypherpunks. This is what so, so many Bitcoin tourists never grok, and why they can’t abide, no matter how many smarts they briefly extol upon the world. Bitcoin isn’t an influencer gig. Quite the opposite. It’s a slog. A humble side-gig. Forever. View quoted note →

We’re losing. Bitcoin is out of our control, pleb-cycles are broken, even if it the Institutions haven’t $58k’d it yet. There is no “rally the troops” because plebs don’t matter in the markets any longer. We’re just guys discussing news on social media now. That Bitcoin roller-coaster meme - that’s us now. We’re just along for the ride. The Institutions control our future, and we can do nothing about it, except to hope Bitcoin was built to endure this. Even fucking Quantum fud is back. Jeezus. This is why OG’s have been selling. They understood - and had incentive to cash out - on recognizing the change of Scale that would come at Institutional market-cap levels. So they moved to El Salvador and traded BTC for real estate. As all early adopters do. The Kaiser’s of the world knew you might front-run the Banks, once, but you can never out-smart them in a head-to-head game. View quoted note →

10% up move incoming this week. Fuck Hollywood’s Grinch marketing.

From Redditor Apprehensive_Shoe_86, a brilliant summation of why the Keisers of the world have fled to non-taxation areas to dump their BTC for real estate and lambos: “IF I PUT $100 IN BITCOIN IN 2010 I’D HAVE $2.8B NOW.” No. If you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it go to: $1k → $100k → $1.7M and did nothing Then watched $1.7M go to $170k and still did nothing Then watched $170k go to $110M and still did nothing Then watched $110M wither to $18M and still did nothing Then watched $18M surge to $390M and still did nothing Then watched $390M deteriorate to $85M Then watched $85M climb to $1.6B and still did nothing Then watched $1.6B shrink to $390M and still did nothing Then watched $390M surge to $2.8B and then for some reason finally decided to do something… Then yes, $100 in 2010 would be worth $2.8B today.

Volume has been abysmal this year compared to last year. Yes, selling has been heavier than buying this year, but the massive Institutional buying from last year has largely been hodled. And continued selling into ATH breaks is signature Institutional manipulation. Expect more of the same until something breaks, but then Bitcoin will break to the upside, because that’s where the greatest pain lies. 2026 should be about stumbling something “too big to fail”.
