About a year and a half ago it became my goal to own .1 btc, I am proud to say I have accomplished this. Only the beginning, let the market sell due to Iran, micro strategy, ai, and whatever else. I see people say because bitcoin isnt going up and it should have because everything else went up so now that means it’s over. How? It’s a piece of technology that’s a hedge against the petrodollar that will inevitably become worthless due to compounding debt math.

And I understand the dollar became inflated so bitcoin should go up. It did in 2025! Now those dollars are all being rushed into ai but that doesn’t change bitcoin as a piece of technology. Buy buy buy

I see a good amount of panic and excitement in this community. For those who are excited, now that we’ve dipped back under $70K (now at $67K), what’s your buying strategy for the dip? Are you DCAing and how often? Are you buying lump sum? I am very curious to see how people will take advantage of the moment.

But*

I've been a Bitcoin HODLer since 2020 and honestly it didn't hit me till lately that I really am starting to see my life priced in Bitcoin, but I'm in a fiat world.

For example, nowadays, I'll buy like groceries and anything from the story, and once I get back I'm converting it to how much did it spend in Bitcoin? Also, when I'm looking at dream cars (God willing), I'll be saying to myself "When Bitcoin hits XYZ, it'll only be worth XX BTC", etc. Is anyone else like this too?

A few things I'm genuinely curious about:

• Do you ever mentally convert purchases to sats/Bitcoin too? Does it change how you feel about the spend? Like, if you knew an unneeded purchase was worth XYZ bitcoin before you bought it, would it still buy it?

• Are there any apps or tools that shows your finances/purchases in Bitcoin terms?

• What's the most frustrating thing about tracking your money as someone who holds Bitcoin? Mint and Rocket Money feel weirdly incomplete to me but I can't fully articulate why. I have to manually enter the new amount of Bitcoin I have every month.

Just curious if this mindset is common and how other people deal with it.
