He's a bitcoiner at heart. A literal bag hodler.
Oh we fucked up plenty, too. π
It's terrifying to think about it. Like, holy shit what if I fucked up? The level of trust we were given at times feels like an awful burden in hindsight.
Magical times, and we're better men because of them!
We were chronic losers for so long, especially being ancaps. We're used to constantly losing, especially vs the state. So now we're winning. Not just by a little, but by the biggest fucking margin ever. How the fuck do we process that level of being right in such a short period of time? I absolutely understand what you're saying about wishing you did more, but you did enough. I am sure that when you spoke to a friend or family member 10+ years ago, you had just as much fire and conviction in your heart then as you do now. If they didn't see that, or they were too scared to take a risk, then that's on them. Not you. π€
I came here for freedom money, not for financial gain. Over the past 12+ years I have watched Bitcoin 12000x vs USD, and it blows my mind every time this happens. Even after all these years. Maybe I still haven't accepting the reality of it all. Many of us were told over and over that we were making a terrible decision, or that we were idiots for investing in "tulips." Ridiculed and laughed at constantly. Not just by strangers, but by family and friends. They were wrong. Not only did we make a good decision, we made one of the greatest decisions in recent history. We had the conviction, the nerve, and of course the autism, to do what we thought was right while everyone else doubted. Many of us were freaks & weirdos for most of our lives. Let's be honest - most of us probably still are. But we're the weirdos with motherfucking conviction. We're the freaks willing to put it all on the line for a belief, because maybe there's still something worth hoping and fighting for in this clown world. We were right. You can stay humble while you stack sats tomorrow. Today you pat yourself on the back. You text your brother with an "I fucking told you so." You look at yourself in the mirror and smile at a motherfucking winner.
I got nowhere else to go π
Bitcoin this close to an ATH before halving is unprecedented. We're in new territory, anon.
Monsters

Me: Can't wait for $58k again! Bitcoin: GM! You slept through it, bro.
But look at the price now - that sand turned into a pearl!
You bitch! π Bear market lows are the best. Cheap sats and everyone thinks you're a moron.

Hey plebs that have been stacking hard these past few years - I hope you're enjoying this. You earned any additional freedom Bitcoin will ultimately give you, and your children will thank you for it. π€π§‘
My wife after seeing Satoshi used the word "retarded" in an email
The hardest part is knowing some of the seagulls personally & having to watch as they willingly accept their fate, instead of using their freedom to seek a better opportunity elsewhere. nostr:nevent1qqsq2ma4j53ahm6ygkwjtsh5ymvpa7mqu6xuw4cv67p0rjhnr9m467gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qa2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sxpqqqqqqz09usv6
GM! π€ I've been training hard this winter, trying to get rid of excess body fat while building muscle. Still a long way to go, but I'm up ~25lbs since the summer! Tried on a couple old dress shirts and they were very tight around the shoulders, arms, and chest. π One day at a time.
7th largest base money #1 for based money
It's incredible how people can exist beside each other in space & time, while simultaneously living in alternate realities.
