 Not only is “stay humble, & stack sats” a brilliant philosophy 

I think you’re so on point re the awareness of bitcoiners 

Specifically the ability to self-custody & ride out the storm

Gold was so hard to custody, at some point it could be taken

Plus information about the manipulation of gold wasnt as rife 

Ie gold holders didn’t know as much about the problem as bitcoiners

As another point, I think the short-term volatility is so different vs gold

It’s like the back of a hedgehog in that it’s a self-defence mechanism 

Sure, short gold, & it moves perhaps 25%

Short Bitcoin & it does a 5x. Boom. Wiped out

Fascinating times ahead
