One of the notable reasons 2025 underperformed is a lot of Bitcoin capital was coaxed into buying expensiveTreasury 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 havealready learned this lesson.The new shinny thing is there to take your Bitcoin. Everybody is a scammer. The solution, is to stay humble, andstack sats.The promoters will return.Ignore them, they want your bitcoin.Stay humble, stack sats, and focus on your craft and family instead.nostr:nevent1qqsp83h4r7mzuv3xd20sqp7dpdvqav3tufl4ehdc94qth94yscs23nqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qqny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysxpqqqqqqzg3jcfx
Have you shorted Bitcoin this cycle?
I never short, I just stay humble and stack sats man.I analyse the market because I love solving the puzzle. Trading is for the 0.01% who can to it.
Thanks for answering!And with an awesome answer too.Will you unblock me on X now? 😆
Only if you explain why you're being so difficult? You were pestering Anja with these silly questions about me'being short' too, and I want to understand what your problem is?
I think I had discussed this you previously...my main issue was your frequent referral to dollars as money andthe implication that Bitcoin was an investment to make dollars with.I disagree with that view, which I think was fair for me to do.The mistake I made was assuming you were doing that because you were a trader, not a stacker. That's my bad, andfor that I apologise.
The dollar is money, and it's just intellectually dishonest to say otherwise.I don't think I've ever said Bitcoin is just an investment to make dollars with, what I would have said is 'thevast majority of people do in fact believe that'. As evidenced by their behaviours, of selling in bull markets.Your mistake is actually thinking I am expressing my ideological view, but instead I am simply pointing out theobjective facts about how the market operates.You will find that people like you and I, that see bitcoin as money and fiat as trash, are the smallest minorityof people. Most people have no fucking clue, and are indeed fiat maximisers.Not the world we want, hut the world we live in.
I agree with you on that.Like I said, I apologise for misjudging you and for being too toxic of a maximalist.I don't have trouble stacking sats, but I do have trouble staying humble.
I think of the dollar as currency not money...The difference may be semantic, but the distinction matters...a lot...to me.
You're separating MoE and SoV/UoA in this distinction. Which is by the way what id happening, the savings assetfunction of bonds (dollars with yeild) is being replaced by gold and Bitcoin.Currencies are gov issuee monies which have shit SoV properties. Money is still the parent umbrella.
That's fair and fine if you are speaking to a classical economist....but when you are trying to explain thesecomplex concepts to a broad audience, like you very often do, it is important to simplify even further.Especially if you are a Bitcoin advocate.Crap money is not money.Sound money is money.I strongly believe we should move away from referring to dollars as money if only for this purpose alone.Also there is a very strong school of thought, no less than fromnostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpxdmhxue69uhkuamr9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshkz7tkdfkx26tvd4urqctvxa4ryur3wsergut9vsch5dmp8pese6nj96 himself, that Bitcoin must become aMoE to succeed. Resigning our fate to saylor-esque / fed / BlackRock views that the dollar will not / should notbe replaced as a transactional medium is likely selling ourselves short.Now...would you like to zap me in sats or cents?

Ya I suppose it's just the difference between gentle public pandering vs. more abrupt truth bombs.
Both work for different people, and most bitcoin'er types prefer the latter, as do I.
