Prediction for the next year in #Bitcoin:
• We will have a healthy pullback from this short run
• People w/ BDS will tweet "See! It CrAsHeS!"
• It'll calm down, start a slow climb, & then rocket up again
• BDS-ers will scream "BuBbLE!!" for the 173rd time
• It'll have a healthy pullback
• Rinse and repeat as #Bitcoin climbs into the multiple hundreds of thousands
• BDS-ers will get increasingly insane and frantic, "IT DOES NOTHING!" "NO UTILITY!" "THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO OUR ECONOMY!" "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!"
• There will finally be another very needed and prolonged correction down to a level about twice the previous ATH
• As we find a stable price in the low to mid $100K, the BDS-ers will claim victory and constantly say "I told you so."
• Bitcoiners will keep building, keep stacking sats, keep using it as their money, and keep watching things get cheaper as priced in #Bitcoin


... and in another couple of years we will do this all over again... AGAIN... just adding another zero to the price.

I have yet to share my personal #Bitcoin journey, but I believe now is the right time to do so. It marks the beginning of my descent into the Bitcoin rabbit hole and, much like the Bitcoin White Paper itself, my story is closely tied to the financial crisis of 2008.

This account is deeply personal, laced with self-pity and a sense of stupidity. That's why I've kept it private and not even shared it with my closest friends, but I think it's important to share it now with you. Giving back to a community I received so much in the previous years. All too often, those who fall victim to the shortcomings of the fiat system internalize the guilt, unaware that they are being taken advantage of by a corrupt fiat system.

My parents, hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to building their own business from scratch, had little time to acquire financial education. In the early 2000s, they were advised — like many companies and individuals in Austria — to finance their company/house with a Swiss franc loan. The arrangement was complex and opaque, involving multiple loan accounts and significant commissions for both the bank and our financial advisor. My parents, trusting the system, unknowingly became entangled in a speculative gamble, exacerbated by the euro's introduction and the franc's relative strength over time. It turns out that debt in a strong currency and income in a rapidly depreciating currency have only one outcome: Default over time.

As a result of the financial crisis of 2008, the Swiss National Bank could no longer suppress the upward pressure on the franc in 2014 and the fallout was inevitable. Overnight, my family faced a substantially larger loan burden than initially anticipated, to threaten us to file bankruptcy and lose everything we worked for in the previous decade. This devastating turn of events — driven by corrupt banking practices and greedy financial advisors — left an indelible mark on me. As a young man, witnessing my parents' hard-earned savings and efforts eroded by a system they trusted was enough to cement my distrust of financial institutions forever. At this point in time I made a promise to myself: Trust no one, educate yourself and verify.

A few years later, I discovered Bitcoin. It clicked immediately. Here was a decentralized, incorruptible solution to the very problem that had caused so much pain for my family. Bitcoin represented a chance to opt out of a fiat system riddled with perverse incentives and predatory practices. My family's experience — our suffering under the weight of a corrupt financial system — motivates me to advocate for Bitcoin adoption. For this reason, I will never trade my Bitcoin for fiat currency ever, no matter the fiat price. It represents more than wealth to me; it’s a symbol of resilience and justice, a way to honor the sacrifices my parents made.

Looking back, I am almost grateful for this painful chapter of my life. It woke me up and set me on a path I might not have found otherwise. Many people experience similar losses at the hands of the fiat system without even realizing it because the theft happens incrementally, through inflation and hidden costs. Fact is, that honest, hardworking individuals are being robbed every day — second by second — by a system designed to erode their purchasing power over time. Like my parents, but more gradually.

While it’s exciting to see Bitcoin’s fiat price increase, that is not its ultimate value. Bitcoin represents so much more. And I know, many others who HODL Bitcoin not for fiat wealth but for deeply personal reasons — reasons rooted in justice, independence, and freedom. For those of us who have been wronged by the current system, Bitcoin is not just an asset, it’s a revolution for a better future.

Yours forever thankful, Carl. 🧡

My son made a python soccer game in class. I asked him if the game could do something that it doesn't do. He said yes, and began working on it. This is showing me that he truly understands what he's learning. I've never been more proud. Watching him code live is fucking cool. 🥹 #dadstr

Having RFK Jr as the head of the HHS may be the single most significant and positive political appointment of my lifetime.

Literally nothing in the entire political world has made me feel the slightest bit hopeful since Ron Paul's campaign... until this.
