 if you’re not ok with losing half of your net worth over the span of a month are you even a bitcoiner 😆

back to eating noodles at home. I’ve lived through every bitcoin cycle of abundance and contraction. A natural ebb and flow I have become accustomed to.

It’s a continual reminder that there is no free ride in this world, that we must continue to build value in this space for everyone that comes after us.

The idea that it’s just pure speculation is ridiculous, there’s a reason every other shitcoin has come and gone but bitcoin has remained.

Bitcoin persists because it’s our best chance to save ourselves from the collapsing fiat system, and no short term price movement will change that. 
 Are you referring to the Bitcoin sale event now on?  
 Amo los fideos 👌 
 Yes. I don't put half of my net worth in Bitcoin.

 I love noodles 🍜 
Nothing wrong with that. We’ll get our steak later 🤙 
 🥲 ok 
 At least its not ze bugs 
 Eat ze bugs  
 I wanted to buy my family home this month and needed to sell. This is a bit unfortunate 
 I needed to do the same at a much lower price 🥲 worst feeling 
 What did you ended up doing in the end? Sold anyway or fiat credit and kept sats? 
 I had to sell for the down payment because the bank screwed up a bank-to-bank  transfer of 30k or so that i needed. They said the serial number was wrong or something. Fucking ironic, if only we had tech for that 🙄

After that I removed all my money from the banking system and allocated 100% into bitcoin. Fuck banks. 
 The only bank I use is https://www.xapobank.com/, because they are pro Bitcoin and even support lightning. 
 Been there done that 😔  
 Stay humble. Stack SATs. 🧡 
 so true

 The mind trick is to consider all the sats accumulated as lost forever, trying to reach coma for the next 10 years is the next step 
 It has never been hard for me, probably because I like noodles a lot.

And what's this reason. Do you want to spell it out for us. 
 I thought to myself, why even look at the price? This is a 30 year hold! 
 Where people get desperate we see opportunity :) 
 A month? That's so slow it wouldn't even be noticeable. Are you new here? 

😉🍻 
 Stability is unnatural #few

 🤍 
 Sats stacked. Thesis intact. 
 You speak the truth. 
 Love this 🔥 
 Just get monero.

Zero dramas. 
 You're right, nothing dramatic about slowly losing your wealth. 
 Usable currency.

 
 Sure. 
 if you are a person that is cashflow positive you should be so heavy in allocation to btc, imo. over your skis as they say...  
 A wonderful gift to the PLEBs.  The hedge funds will be sh*tting their pants on Monday, same with the ETF tourists.
