Full video summary of navigation strategy: 🧵👇
1/ Endurance Over Emotion
Bradford draws from Stoic philosophy, especially Cleanthes, emphasizing hard work & resilience. CleanSpark structures itself to "bend, not break"—ensuring survival in bear markets & thriving in bull cycles.
2/ Surviving the 80% Drawdowns
Bitcoin historically sees 80% retraces after bull peaks. CleanSpark prepares by optimizing efficiency, ensuring survival even in brutal bear markets. The goal? Long-term success, not short-term hype.
Do you think future retraces will be smaller?
3/ Strategy > Ideology
"Bitcoin miners must be strategic, not ideological."
CleanSpark sold all their BTC at $60k+ in 2021 & re-accumulated at $27k. Some called it betrayal. But survival requires flexibility, not blind HODLing.
Would you sell Bitcoin at the peak?
4/ Energy & Bitcoin Mining Will Merge
Bradford envisions Bitcoin mining integrating deeply into global energy infrastructure. He predicts substations housing small mining operations, balancing energy grids efficiently.
Mining = energy stabilization. A bullish case for Bitcoin?
5/ Nation-States Will Stack Bitcoin
Bradford believes every nation-state will accumulate Bitcoin for strategic reserves, leading to long-term supply reduction.
His prediction? They’ll "lock it away & forget about it for a decade." 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi has already started.
Who’s next?
6/ Bitcoin Reducing Global Conflict?
Bitcoin de-weaponizes finance, removing a key tool used by sovereign nations against each other.
Could Bitcoin reduce global conflicts by shifting power dynamics? It's an idea worth considering.
7/ The Future: Tap-to-Pay Bitcoin?
Bradford predicts a future where Sats replace dollars, and people seamlessly tap-to-pay in Bitcoin—as easily as using Visa today.
When do you think mass adoption happens?
