In a way, you have to feel sorry for Bitcoin and crypto influencers. They are always making predictions along the lines of: "On the one hand... and on the other hand."
It's a global phenomenon. The relationships are far too complex to say anything in advance or even afterward.
With Bitcoin, it's simple: the price remains volatile, and in the short term, your actions may sometimes be better, sometimes worse. But according to Power Law analysis, there's no need to worry, and you can safely ignore those panic-inducing clickbaits.
"MicrosStrategy is WallStreet"
GTP means:
MicroStrategy, though initially a software company, has become a key player in bridging traditional finance (Wall Street) with the #cryptocurrency world, particularly due to its large #Bitcoin holdings. Through its strategic Bitcoin purchases, the company attracted institutional investors, including #ETF providers like #BlackRock, #swiss natiknal bank and #Vanguard, who invest in MicroStrategy indirectly for exposure to Bitcoin. Before the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs, MicroStrategy was one of the main ways traditional investors could gain exposure to Bitcoin.
Now, with the launch of ETFs like BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which holds more Bitcoin than MicroStrategy itself, traditional finance's involvement in cryptocurrency has deepened. This dynamic positions MicroStrategy as an indirect representation of Wall Street’s growing interest in Bitcoin and crypto assets.
That means the new People's Money!
"Had lost the way down, and get into 'baby mode,' using hands, feet, pant legs, and knees. The large stones were covered in lichen and dry, a sign that these amazing large blocks, had been stable and in place for a long time."

You come home, expecting the Bitcoin node to be running smoothly, only to find out it’s dead! You cleverly plugged it in to avoid any accidents, but then—surprise!—your wife, fixing a bathroom light, flips the circuit breaker. Result? No #node, no #bitcoin #blockchain. Perfect Sunday, right? #raspiblitz #help

Hmm, a few thoughts.
Boomers have the big money. Millennials will inherit it. Therefore, think carefully about advising the tech-awkward Boomers well.
Boomers are Cypherpunks and developed Bitcoin.
It only works in cooperation. Many variations are possible, and how each generation acts specifically is not important. On the contrary, it creates unnecessary divisions.
I am a late Boomer (Boomer cohorts 1946 - 1966), have my BTC/Lightning Node running, and of course, use Cold Wallets. What I don't do is buy BTC Peer to Peer through Vexl, Peach, or Bisq. It's too cumbersome for me, even though it would clearly be better for my privacy.
Besides, I am trying (so far unsuccessfully) to introduce BTC to my daughter and my family. Therefore, I am not investing for myself, but ultimately for my daughter.
The way you do it—focusing on the next generation (Millennials, Gen Z)—is good, but it is hardly different from the selfish behavior you perceive in Boomers. Bitcoin is a new technology that would not exist without past experiences.
Our generations will pass on, and the next youngest Generation Alpha might blame you for it (being a
rich Bitcoin/Satoshi holder).
I understand your frustration, but do not share your conclusion.
Nostr is a cool alternative to Twitter due to its decentralization and zapping - voluntary monetization. However, for other things like YouTube, it becomes more difficult.
Am i wrong?

In our company, we're considering whether the driving staff should finally be allowed to listen to music. I can only say what Frankie Goes to Hollywood sings: Relax!
