The recent Bitcoin crash has struck fear into a lot of people’s eyes. That fear even made its way into my university business classroom.

Instead of a balanced discussion, on which I was given the task to argue against “Freedom to transact” Bitcoin was presented as nothing more than a list of everything that can go wrong. Volatility. Speculation. Risk. Environmental concerns. Regulation fears. Bubble narratives. Even shitcoin rug pulls. Not once did my professor explain why Bitcoin exists in the first place.

No mention of monetary debasement.

No mention of a fixed supply.

No mention of censorship resistance.

No mention of permissionless access.

No mention of self custody, settlement without intermediaries, or the idea of money that does not require trust in institutions that have historically failed people.

Instead we were told all the negative impacts if it were to fail. Then we were told we have to choice whether we believe to believe in it or not but to not speak up about how we viewed it personally. So I sat quietly in my classroom with my Trezor in my backpack and a smile on my face.

When price is falling, it’s easy to point at the chart and call it proof of failure. But price action is not the core value of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was never designed to make people comfortable in the short term. It was designed to give people an alternative in the long term.

Fear exposes surface level understanding.

Conviction comes from knowing the fundamentals.

If your entire view of Bitcoin changes because of a crash, then you were never studying Bitcoin. You were watching the price.

Alright y’all,

Bitcoin’s dumpin’ again and folks are actin’ like the sky’s fallin’. Me? I’m sittin’ here calm as a longhorn in the shade. Price can swing all it wants — that’s just Bitcoin doin’ Bitcoin.

If it drops to 40k, I ain’t cryin’. I’m buyin’. Why? Because that’s how you become a wholecoiner. You don’t get there by panickin’, you get there by stackin’ when everyone else is scared.

Markets always overreact, then they recover. They always do. The smart money loads up before the herd comes runnin’ back, not after the green candles are already gone.

So yeah, dump it. Shake out the weak hands. I’ll be over here addin’ sats and mindin’ my business. When the whole market turns around — and it will — you’ll wish you bought when it felt uncomfortable.

Not financial advice. Just Texas logic. 🤠

Stack sats and hold the line.

DOWN 5%

Time to hodl while crying in my pillow.

Binance has completed an initial 1,350 BTC purchase as part of a planned $1 billion SAFU fund conversion, acquiring the coins at an average price near $77,900 during a recent market drawdown.

According to on-chain data shared by the exchange, the funds were moved from multiple Binance-controlled wallets into a designated SAFU Bitcoin address. Binance stated the full conversion is expected to be completed within 30 days.

The purchase comes as Bitcoin experienced heightened volatility and significant liquidations, leaving many recent ETF buyers holding BTC above current market prices.

I'd like to explore investing in crypto but I'm not sure how do people trust exchanges that are not regulated by government? So I got informed about crypto.com but I hear they are charging huge exchange rate that wipes away profits. Any suggestiosn?

Nothing has changed. Governments are still spending far far more money than they raise in tax. Fiat currency around the world is still being debased. Debt is exploding. Saylor, Blackrock and Wall Street are not fools. The reason you purchased BTC have not changed one bit. If you're new, this is normal. If you're a few cycles in, you know what to do. BTC is $77,500. A few years ago you'd be popping ya corks over this. Enjoy the ride and forget the noise.
