 I see so many people speculating that the great #bitcoin cycles of the past are dead

I think we will always have cycles because its just human nature

Humans are susceptible to intense feelings of both greed and fear which will always result in cyclic ups and downs

 Hey Everyone,

For this week's video I have gone back to the well to re-evaluate one of the most popular topics for the fans of Bitcoin Basics - retirement strategy.

It's understandable why this is always such a hot topic. It doesn't take much leap of the imagination to picture the life and stress for people who spend a full career living and working, only to retire with barely enough savings to last a decade.

But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle and achieve financial independence in a fraction of that time? The answer, to me, and many others who watch Bitcoin Basics every week lies in understanding and harnessing the power of Bitcoin.

I encourage you to watch this week's video with an open mind. In the final steps of the strategy I am changing up the playbook to introduce some less conventional and riskier moves that aren't usually touched by people on Bitcoin YouTube.

As always, these videos are for entertainment purposes only and are not meant to be taken as financial advice.

This isn't your typical bitcoin retirement strategy video.

Cheers

 Enter Bitcoin, the unconventional side hustle that could change everything for your financial situation.

With sky-high inflation over the past few years many people are starting to feel squeezed in their monthly budget. For this reason, many are looking to turn to time consuming side hustles to bridge this gap. Most side hustles are unprofitable and a major time sink.

In this video I propose to make 'studying bitcoin' your side hustle in 2024 in what could become the most hands-off side hustle that could net you the greatest return on investment!

 I've seen a lot of discourse here on nostr with people complaining about the #bitcoin price having 'failed' the class of 2021, with prices at the exact same level as when they bought into the market nearly 3 years ago today.

 You Can Be Earning Free Bitcoin Online! 

It goes without saying that the best Bitcoin to have is the Bitcoin that you can earn for Free. 

There is a saying among bitcoiners that buying bitcoin always feels expensive, no matter the price. In my opinion, this is a result of the human psychology of spending a portion of your hard-earned paycheque in exchange for 0.0005 of a Bitcoin…ouch. 

I recommend using Coinmiles to begin bringing in free bitcoin. which is similar to a credit card rewards program like ‘Airmiles’. 

The catch with Coinmiles is that you spend money through their app, either through shopping and ordering online, or by buying in-store gift cards which reward you with 1–3% cashback, in bitcoin. Coinmiles is partnered with every major retailer from gas, groceries and other necessities, that you don’t have to change your day-to-day shopping habits. You can keep frequenting the same stores, except now, you’re stacking more bitcoin with every purchase. Below are screenshots of my account after just a few weeks of use. 

Oh yeah, and the best part of Coinmiles, if you sign up using my link, you will receive a 500 satoshi welcome bonus, and we will both receive a 7,500 satoshi referral bonus after you make your first purchase. That’s not bad!

https://coinmiles.onelink.me/90Pp/nxik24qu

Coinmiles can be paired with a bitcoin-cashback credit card to receive bitcoin in cashback from your credit card from all of your everyday and business spending.

 Bitcoiners act like no other company could do what #microstrategy did and acquire 1% of the #bitcoin supply without the price running away to the upside, as if blackrock didn’t just do that exact thing over the past three months and the price only went up like $30k 🥱 
 I know the narratives too bro I 100% agree… but we literally just watched blackrock scoop up 245k bitcoin over the last three months. It’s not impossible. The price only moved a measly 30k or so
