 If you suddenly lost ALL of your #Bitcoin today, how would you go about rebuilding your stack?

Scary to think about. 
 By staying humble, and stacking sats. 

“If you can make one heap of all your winnings, And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss…you’ll be a Man, my son!” 
 I'm looking for specific strategies. I take it youd dollar cost average? 
 I’m a lump sum guy, with a set DCA on days that end in “4”. 
 Dates* (the 4th, 14th, 24th)…no idea why I chose that but that’s my play haha 
 i would have to change an ungodly amount of truck tyres again 
 you'd save the world 
 Beg for a job corking wine 
 I'll pay u in wine 
 Dangerous prop MY GUY 
 good deal for both of us 
 The same as I currently do, do PoW and have a positive sats flow (live within your means). 
 so You would dollar cost average back in? 
 Yep, fools use leverage (at individual level). 
 Refocus on my craft, while asking myself how can I take better security and bring in more value in what I do 
 I love that every answer is "I would get stronger and kick ass" 
 Shouldn’t that be the answer to everything 🤔 
 It happened to me. You just rebuild it slower than you were before.  
 This post heart my heart and brain! Literally … it would take time to build back stack! 😆😅 
 100%

would you dca or wait for the next bear? 
 DCA … the bear would never again burrow down to where we first got in 😅😂😂😂 
 Actually I’d sell every spare kidney in the household and seriously sell everything I own!! 😎 
 I think this is the only way 
 Focus on delivering value to humans. Begin again. Learn better self custody strategies 🤙🏽 
 💪 
 I’d consider selling a kidney 
 damn
but we're so early  
 I had this dream.  The worst part was the extension of my fiat mining obligation. 
 pain 
 Yeah but imagine planning to retire in 1 year then having to do another 10 
 I'd first go commie and post a lightning invoice on nostr, to see if anyone would pay 😂

Then, probably borrow money against my mortgage to stack back up. 
 seems like a solid strat 
 I’d have to go back to bartending where it all started, can’t stack Jack in the 9-5 
 Just keep working.  My take is that if a young man 100yrs from now can’t start from nothing, work hard, provide value, and save in BTC to make a nice life for himself, bitcoin will have failed. 
 I’d start stacking sats again with bulletproof security this time (using JoyID wallet 😊 ). It’s all about the long game! ⏳ #HODL 
 Start all over again 
 Like the dude on Once bitten, who lost 25btc? Chilling, but stay positive, stay humble and stack sats. Even if you go back to zero, you’re still ahead of the 99% with your understanding. 🫡🙌
