One of the notable reasons 2025 underperformed is a lot of Bitcoin capital was coaxed into buying expensive Treasury company stocks, which then proceeded to decline by 90% or more, incinerating value.
The firms didn't buy BTC volumes anywhere close to the amount investors gave them.
Stay humble, stack sats, is the wisest meme in Bitcoin, and it comes from the experience of Bitcoiners who have already learned this lesson.
The new shinny thing is there to take your Bitcoin. Everybody is a scammer. The solution, is to stay humble, and stack sats.
The promoters will return.
Ignore them, they want your bitcoin.
Stay humble, stack sats, and focus on your craft and family instead.

What do you mean they didn't buy btc volumes anywhere close to the amount investors gave them?
Who?
^ do you have any data to support that they didn’t buy BTC volumes close to the amount investors gave them? @_Checkɱate 🔑⚡🌋☢️🛢️
Spend an hour looking through how many TCos actually bought Bitcoin outside PIPE deals by insiders, or questionable convert deals with whales who have the right to call their Bitcoin back if the stock doesn't appreciate.
There is so much fagazi below the covers.
Pebbles in a pond.

Good take Matey.
Where did all the capital invested go? Did the middlemen really take a 70-90% cut? Disgustingly dishonest but as you clearly outline, what else can we expected.
Well there was always going to be leakage as management has to get paid (and healthily I may add).
A lot also never actually bought BTC outside pipe deals to insiders, and a bunch ran these scammy BTC converts with whales (whale can retract their BTC if the stock price doesn't moon).
Question marks at every corner.

Yes this is the central issue. And I know you would know as I'm sure you were amongst those who, due to your public persona, were offered enticing endorsement deal.
When it gets to that stage when they would be so desperate to perpetuate the mirage at any cost, you know the whole thing has gone upside-down. Time to unwind. Personally I'm glad it bursts now and not later on.
Such pathetic money grabbing.
Good on everyone who just stack pure hard unconfiscatable bitcoin, for the uptenth time, once the market sorts itself out, the stackers will be vindicated.
I'm 99% certain this was put to you in a pod regarding ETFs, That games would be played, you said it would be near impossible
Wherever humans are present. There will be a grift.
Just stack relentlessly
Seeing David Bailey brag about top blasting a bn, which was actually not a bn, nor done on the timeline he set, should be a nice reminder. These are not proven management teams, or even prior public market participants. Before becoming a treasury co every shell or penny stock was trading at a discount for a reason. I for one am not taking the time to vet for skeletons when I could just own the underlying.
Now my question is how low do we go before we start popping treasury companies?
I understand it is cold hearted but I enjoyed buying the Luna, 2AC, FTX (etc) liquidation cascade and I would do it again if I got the chance.
I just enjoyed it full stop. Anyone playing games gets dusted. It's a free market at its finest
It'll be a back up the truck event.

I appreciate your insights, thank you. Where did that capital go? May have changed hands, but it didn't just disappear. Pump and dump on bitcoin treasury company stock, but where is the capital sitting now? If bitcoin sentiment turns positive, couldn't the capital roll into bitcoin?
It totally disappeared.
If you buy a stock at $100 and the next day it opens at $10, you've destroyed 90% of your value
The guy who sold you the expensive stock was eitheran insider getting paid, or an original owner of whatever the business model was before bitcoiners took over management
But what if we think of it in terms of a bitcoin hard money fixed supply world that we hope for. Someone pays 100 sats, and next day only worth 10 sats. But the bitcoin/capital hasn't been destroyed, it just changed hands.
Staying humble and stacking sats has dramatically changed my life for the better. It’s simple but it isn’t easy.
The best Hodl quote
Looks like you’re 82k is looking on point, Mate😅
Doubtful those paper mfers would have bought Bitcoin instead
Is that your content now? Hate for BTC Cos ? Probably a better business model than analysis.
No mate, just pointing out some realities as i see them.
Which is what analysis is the process of doing.
what was done with the money?
Insiders got paid.
was that such a big phenomena to affect the flows of a 2T asset?
Bitcoin in self-custody and run Knots
“Shitcoiners like bitcoin too! They just like your bitcoin” @HODL
Edge. Still. Fam.
One day BTC goes no bid for anyone with dollars. Will that happen tomorrow? 2030? 2138? Not sure. But for the time being I’ll just stay humble and stack says in anticipation.
