The same thing happens every bitcoin halving. The new supply of bitcoin is chopped in half. The demand rises while the supply shrinks. Bitcoin starts making a move. But it takes a little longer than people expect. So they get impatient. They get bored. They greedy. The 150% return they've made this year isn't enough. F 150% I want 250%! Or they bought in at the "top" and want to see some action. And when I say they - I am including myself in there. Just like our friend Odell - who coined the phrase STAY HUMBLE, STACK SATS. He says it as a reminder to others but mostly himself. For some reason, it's very difficult to stay focused on bitcoin. It should be so easy. All you have to do is literally NOTHING. Buy or earn the bitcoin and hold onto it. That's it! If only it were that simple. Sometimes we need a little reminder. We have to remember why we are here. We have the potential to make real change in the world if we get this right. Satoshi discovered the hardest money that has ever existed. A peer-to-peer electronic cash. That is fair - because anyone on earth with an internet connection can join the network. That is honest - because the entire ledger of transactions can be seen by anyone, dating back to January 3, 2009 when the first bitcoin block was mined. Bitcoin was designed to separate money from State. And the State is showing up in January. Some states are already here. That’s the bad news. The good news is that they cannot print bitcoin. But they will be buying. They aren't buying DOGE. They aren't buying XRP. Or Ethereum. Ha ha ha ha Ethereum. They are buying BITCOIN. And there's only so much bitcoin available. What happens when a steep upward demand curve meets a fixed supply? Well, we have never seen it before in human history. So instead of chasing the quick gains, try to stay focused on bitcoin. Because the only reason you'd chase quick gains is if you weren't happy with yourself. And if you're not happy with yourself now, you won't be happy with yourself with more money in the bank. This is a long game. Bitcoin doesn't care what timeline you're on. You know where this is going. Don't rush it. Every single sat is more valuable than you could ever imagine. Protect them. Have some patience. Stay focused. Remember why we are here.
