 “Dad what were u doing when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fought?”

“Stacking #Bitcoin at $91k”

“Hmm, based”
https://m.primal.net/MXeQ.png 
 It’s becoming obvious that Bitcoiners will rule the world…or that the rulers of the world are becoming Bitcoiners.  

#Bitcoin not crypto.

I love these tiny pullbacks, otherwise my face would be completely melted. 

Boy would I hate to have corn in a honeypot…not your keys…
https://m.primal.net/MDaj.png 
 #Bitcoin would be better off without digital fools gold, but would digital fools gold be better off without #Bitcoin? No.

If #BTC fails all of the STCs will fail. 

All value flowing to #Bitcoin seems inevitable over a multi-generational period.

Stack to the future.
https://m.primal.net/MCej.png 
 $88k gang.

$98k gang next?

Resist temptation and stack sats. Don’t be exit liquidity.

I’m still stacking.

It doesn’t matter the conversion rate imo, converting weak to strong is always a good deal.

People see #Bitcoin taking a breather and think it’s done…is that max pain?
https://m.primal.net/MBdt.png 
 FOMO is starting.

I’m very interested to see how ETFs react to the pump tmrw.

This could just be the beginning, but I won’t take it for granted.

Each ATH will be celebrated like it’s this cycles last.

The dam is breaking. I’m expecting a flood of demand.

Suddenly,
#Bitcoin
https://m.primal.net/MAYi.png 
 My face is melting. ETFs could fuel the fire tomorrow.

If #Bitcoin keeps surging, it’ll grab everyone’s attention.

Altcoin pumps are bittersweet. I wish more understood the difference. But hey, they keep #BTC cheaper than it would be otherwise, so I’ll keep stacking sats. 
https://m.primal.net/LzSh.png 
 I prefer “discounts”, “blow out sales”, and “markdowns”😎

 Are those gongs? I want to gong the gongs. 
 FYI never "Google" crimes you may have committed  
 Google first, crime later 
 Bitcoin and land. I’ll build a sufficient home.

nostr:note1kwxnt55a99auf64ckmp9hzcedhzlxzv0yht9l22kg268xwycffasjvu87a 
 $100k #Bitcoin feels so close I can taste it. Sub-$100k sats are a steal…it's crazy they've been this cheap for so long.

People keep underestimating #BTC while hyping the broader “crypto” market. It might take time, but the difference will become clear.
https://m.primal.net/LxKH.png 
 Amen 
 Dinosaur tech is dead, #Bitcoin is the future, and the future is now.

nostr:note1w37pzju8f2t552prhg605agejgelxpydxk3ffnk4qg29hhytq6qq4nrt9x 
 I could ask you the same question 🤨 
 I can’t stop 😭 
 Block’s move into #Bitcoin mining and its Bitkey wallet could set a trend for U.S. firms.

Companies that understand the #Bitcoin advantage will lead.

I’m bullish on U.S. #Bitcoin mining and infrastructure.

America’s #BTC era could be transformative.
https://m.primal.net/LwGw.png 
 Let's see if Trump keeps his promises. If not, no surprise, but if he does, that's a win.

Markets are hopeful. A sell-off wouldn't shock me, but I expected it sooner.

Too bad Trump likes shitcoins…maybe he'll come around.

#Bitcoin, not crypto
https://m.primal.net/LvFH.png 
 You hit the nail on the head. He can’t stop thinking fiat 
 Who won the election?!?!

#Bitcoin

The ultimate safe haven in times of uncertainty.

Seems to me the perfect storm is brewing.
https://m.primal.net/LuEz.png 
 No matter who wins the election, things are about to heat up, and #Bitcoin will be a safe haven for those who seek it. 

This cycle could surpass the last, even challenging the notion of diminishing returns. 
https://m.primal.net/LsyK.png 
 I’ll never get liquidated—I don’t play with leverage. The current liquidations are just discounts on quality #Bitcoin from forced sellers.

Elections are usually bullish for #BTC, no matter the result. I’m voting with my money and celebrating either way.
https://m.primal.net/Lrsb.png 
 Tired of seeing taxpayer dollars go towards swatting raccoons and squirrels???

Vote with your money. 

Stack #Bitcoin. Any amount is better than no amount.
https://m.primal.net/LqnN.png 
 1,741 days in #BTC,
I didn’t find it; it found me.
Grateful for the path it’s shown,
A journey where I’ve truly grown.

Through highs and lows, I’ve learned to see,
The strength in trustless sovereignty.
In Bitcoin’s light, I stand free,
Thankful for what it’s made of me.
https://m.primal.net/LpgE.png 
 I focus on long-term #Bitcoin accumulation over short-term hype, but the momentum near ATHs has me incredibly bullish.

I don’t see the upper bands as resistance…they’re a line of fire that paper hands cannot cross. It’s not rejection; it’s a test that reinforces conviction.
https://m.primal.net/Lojg.png 
 That’s A-okay with me!!!!😎 
 Retail might be lagging, but I’m not…I’m stacking #Bitcoin like the whales are. 

Institutions are tough to out-hold, but I’m up for it. 

Smart money stacks and holds. 

To supply shock and beyond!
https://m.primal.net/LnjH.png 
 With #Bitcoin nearing all-time highs, it's surprising there's not more buzz.

Previous cycles might have made people cautious, but that could lead to FOMO if things heat up.

Better to stay humble and keep stacking. Others’ sentiments don’t matter…it's all gas, no brakes!
https://m.primal.net/Lmdj.png 
 Who’s driving the latest surge in #Bitcoin’s value?

The Coinbase premium gap is a telling indicator. 

Coinbase leans towards institutional investors, while Binance caters more to retail. 

A negative Coinbase premium suggests this rally is retail-driven, which is surprising.
https://m.primal.net/LlSy.png 
 You have a valid point but if anything I think that points to the fact that this is coming from retail outside the U.S.

Could be from UAE, Ethiopia, and Argentina state-backed mining fomo idk 🤷‍♂️ 
 I’m right there with you! 
 We're still early in #Bitcoin's transformative impact on global finance.

It's lame when people say digital cash isn't the same as digital gold…cash was gold's stand-in originally.

I think that's what Satoshi aimed for with #BTC, unlike today's fiat cash.

Gold = cash = Bitcoin

 Really hope this doesn’t apply to favorite assets 😅

nostr:note1ghe6zecfs2h9n70e00pwvm3k634nh9s20az8a4rsxha8ll3msququrdvcg 
 $70K is a tough nut for Bitcoin. Short-term momentum might be fading, but the long-term potential is just starting to shine.

Selling pressure is there, but potential demand dwarfs it. As Bitcoin’s value climbs, more people will FOMO in.

These sats feel cheap.
https://m.primal.net/LjLc.png 
 Converting weak to strong is always a good deal imo 
 They thought ole Pete was in hiding. What they don’t know is that even a world wide hide and seek game has nothing on a bitcoin conference. 
 Microsoft seems hesitant. 

Sure, retirees might prefer bonds over #Bitcoin, but a tech company? Really?

Diversification is overrated; concentration is key. Everyone's short on #BTC; the question is how short.

MSTR set the standard. Corporations can step up or fall behind.
https://m.primal.net/LiLT.png 
 Microsoft eyeing #Bitcoin?! 

Can't even imagine every corporation going the MicroStrategy route—too wild to grasp. 

Big vote on Dec. 10 to see if Microsoft adds #BTC to their balance sheet. I'll be over here on the edge of my seat waiting!
https://m.primal.net/LhHn.png 
 Is a new ATH around the corner?

Bitcoin's always full of surprises. 

It's a never-ending rollercoaster. 

I’m expecting more volatility as the election nears. 

Will we see more BTC-friendly or ECB-like regulations in the next 4 years?
https://m.primal.net/LgLC.png 
 1/5th of US-based spot #Bitcoin ETFs are held by 1,179 institutions, totaling 193k #BTC; this has happened since January…still less than $MSTR’s holdings. 

Every heavy hitter will eventually stack sats, making #Bitcoin a staple in every portfolio.
https://m.primal.net/LfDu.png 
 Will #Bitcoin reignite the industrial age by repurposing old sites, or just be a cool way to boost local economies? 

#BTC mines can operate anywhere, funding infrastructure and attracting other businesses over time.
https://m.primal.net/Ldlp.png 
 EXACTLY 😎👍 
 I’m NOT a paranoid crypto anarchist

I AM being responsible and ensuring the security of my assets. 

I HAVE full control and protection over my money.

It’s smart not paranoid…the castrated can’t comprehend 😱 
 ATH is calling #Bitcoin’s name.

Right now macroeconomics can influence #Bitcoin but how long until the opposite is true?

I don’t think the real FOMO has even begun.

I do think the time to but sub 6-figure #BTC is running out.

We are still early imo; the sun hasn’t risen yet.
https://m.primal.net/LcgN.png 
 $100k #Bitcoin won’t surprise me. It does surprise me we aren’t there yet though.

Every politician will begin to warm up to #BTC.

The halvings won’t stop coming.

WAGMI
https://m.primal.net/Lbci.png 
 I think #Bitcoin is an unfathomably long term asset. 

Even if you only just now started buying; I think you are early.

Its benefits will only grow. Everyday it makes more sense to stack sats.

Accumulating sats will seem to go from 80-800iq. Extremely bullish on #BTC dominance.
https://m.primal.net/LaWj.png 
 Alabama man behind the false alarm #Bitcoin ETF approval? 

Based.

Idk if I woulda done the same, but I hope they aren’t too mean to the dude. He could have done worse.
https://m.primal.net/LZPi.png 
 I hate paying taxes on money I make and money I spend. 

I’d get one or the other but why both. Why more than just those two kinds.

Why hidden taxes like money printing that’d put famous premines to shame?

We are still early. Nation-state #Bitcoin adoption has only just begun.
https://m.primal.net/LXzE.png 
 Losing 1 #Bitcoin is hard enough, but 8,000?

It was worth $1 million back then (about 15 #BTC today).

Hope James Howells finds his stash. Suing the council is justified; he’s done his research. 

The real issue? 

Someone with too much power. 
 He’s just a dude that lost 8000 btc in the early days.

I know it means mine is worth more, just putting myself in his shoes: it’s gotta sting.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched that show is it worth checking out if it won’t be nostalgic? 
 Is #Bitcoin up, are printers on, or has uptober begun? 
 Exactly!!! 
 Y’all out here panicking over #Bitcoin’s price action pogoing. 

Me and the boys? We’re just out here pogoing along with it. 🚀💸

https://video.nostr.build/1092a22fdc42e2c4b69620f5858988449f05aa5dfb13efa76d0f833de83c3666.mp4 
 We gonna have to use this sound when the boys are back in town 🤣 
 I’m still buying #bitcoin because I’m pumping my own bags.

Infinite money glitch 🤑 
 Shout out to Tigran Gambaryan for proving you can gift $4.4 billion and still end up in a Nigerian prison.

Not a metaphor—it's literal.

69,000+ #Bitcoin to the government. 

That's a quarter of a day of funding.

Is $4.4 billion not a lot, or is there a spending problem?
https://m.primal.net/LQkT.png 
 WHO IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO?

Let’s find out 😂🤫
https://m.primal.net/LPQI.jpg 
 Is today the last day Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity remains anonymous?! 

You’ve got my attention HBO. 

The next 25 hours is about to move at a snail pace. 

Would your opinion of #Bitcoin change if Satoshi was doxxed by a premium cable/streaming service?
https://m.primal.net/LONI.png 
 Never settle.

There’s the best, and then there’s speculative alternatives. 

Nothing will hold up against the king.

#Bitcoin is #Bitcoin. There’s nothing like it.
https://m.primal.net/LNYx.png 
 I can tell. 🤣 jk 
 Thinking about holding #Bitcoin over the long term makes my sats hard. 

When faced with the choice of working harder in the fiat mines and tightening my belt, or selling some of my stack to maintain some obtuse standard of living: I choose the prior.
https://m.primal.net/LMeU.png 
 🫡 
 It's funny how #Bitcoin is going mainstream, but normies still see "direct exposure" as a negative thing. 

They think it’s excrement needing a fiat bag, but what they do is more like picking up gold with a turd.
https://m.primal.net/LKhC.jpg 
 Whales are stacking, but they didn’t get whale status with paper hands. 

Sats are flowing from the weak to the strong.

My only worry is I won’t be able to stack this dipportunity hard enough.

When everyone turns to cats I’m stacking sats. You know it’s true because it rhymes.
https://m.primal.net/LJPn.png 
 Could you elaborate? I wanna make sure I know what you mean 
 I’m right there with ya 😅 
 This WW3 dip is laughable.

If I was in it for the money, I would have done something else.

I’m in it for the revolution, to challenge the status quo.

I’m in it for cutting edge technology, censorship resistance, and to cuck printers.

Grow a pair. Take back control. #Bitcoin
https://m.primal.net/LHqa.png 
 Primal on stupid mode, the amount of people I can zap/can zap me is dropping like flies. Need to find a solution. Used to primal + wallet was my favorite, now I need a get Alby code so I can use Damus again, or something like that…been lazy/busy 
 Just remembered there’s people buying 💩coin ETFs; any tips on how to wash/scrub my brain? 

The only thing worse than buying “crypto” is letting someone else custody it for you. 

I stack spot #Bitcoin and I don’t pay anyone to hold my sats…feels like paying for free speech.
https://m.primal.net/LHBt.png 
 Always coming in clutch BP!!! 
 I appreciate that! Can’t stop won’t stop. 
 The vault aye?!? SICK 
 Potential price correction got you scared? 

Couldn’t be me, I’m happy as long as I can convert dollars to #Bitcoin. 

It’s a lot like turning water to wine; it’ll be extremely economically beneficial in the long run.

If I’m producing value; I’m stacking sats.
https://m.primal.net/LFxa.png 
 Got a saw today, it’s a good one, one of the #Bitcoin colored ones. 

I’m finally a man now 😅

It’s an og Farm Boss my great grandfather bought before he died in 1980. 

My grandfather told me if I could get it started I could have it. 

~21 😉 pulls later it started and sounded like a dream, I’ve had more trouble starting chainsaws less than half a decade old…from a different era I guess.

In fact this chainsaw is older than my pops and my goal is to give it to my children/grandkids. 

This saw was invented before safeties, a kick back won’t shut your saw off…it’ll be a halving event (for you). 😬 
https://m.primal.net/LEHk.jpg 
 I’m not sure mine could hit the lows cuz I don’t have the hand guard/chain brake 🥲

Badass song though!!! 
 #Bitcoin just smashed through its 200-day moving average! 🚀 

Fed cuts got everyone buzzing, but I'm not betting on a quick return to zero interest rates. 

All I know is, I want to avoid third-party risks as much as possible. 
https://m.primal.net/LEHY.png 
 ICYMI: Coinbase is down.

BlackRock rug so soon?! 

Shiver me timbers, let’s hope you’ve taken the maxi’s timeless advice: not your keys… 
 Policymakers can't turn a blind eye to #Bitcoin anymore…its influence is undeniable! 

The real risk is in ignoring #BTC's potential. 

#Bitcoin is like that friend who’s always there for you. 

Soon enough, everyone will realize they need #BTC in their circle.
