If a 50% drawdown from the top scares you, Bitcoin probably isn't your game.

This is the part everyone says they want and almost nobody acts on.

Prices like this don't show up often. Roughly once every four years. The rest of the time you're paying a premium for conviction you could have built right now.

The people who look back wishing they bought aren't waiting for confirmation. They're already buying.

Down 50% isn't the risk. Missing the window is.

Be greedy when the timeline is fearful.

Your Bitcoin isn’t yours until you’ve done this one thing:

Move it off the exchange.

If someone else holds the keys, you don’t own Bitcoin. You own a promise. An IOU that’s only as good as the company behind it, and we’ve watched plenty of those companies vanish overnight with everyone’s coins inside.

Self custody is the whole point. Your keys, your wallet, your rules. No permission slips, no withdrawal limits, no counterparty praying it stays solvent.

Take it off the exchange. Then it’s yours.

Travel is about the experience, not the photos.

Get out of your comfort zone and try the local spots. Get out of your head and meet the locals. Do the things you skip out on at home.

You are not on vacation to do what you always be doing.

How to avoid getting your Bitcoin hacked:

•Never download wallet apps from app stores by searching, always go directly to the official website

•Buy hardware wallet from official sources only. Never buy from Amazon, eBay, or third parties

•Download software/updates from official site

•Don’t store seed phrase on phone, computer, paper, or anything digital

⚡️MOST IMPORTANTLY⚡️

•NEVER share your seed phrase or private keys

Stay dangerous, only the paranoid survive.

There is an issue for lightning network though: AFAIK there is no separate hw (offline) signer, like the SeedSigner, but for obviously hot lightning wallets normally used on mobile. As a result you still put your seed phrase for the limited lightning money on something e can't trust.

Changing your mind is a skill. Most people never learn it.

You can hold a belief for ten years. Does not make it true.

You can defend it with passion, with logic, with everything you have. Still does not make it true.

The strongest people are not the ones who never change. They are the ones who update the moment the facts do.

New information is a gift. Most people treat it like an insult.

The person who can say “I was wrong” will always grow faster than the one who needs to be right.

You are not weak for changing your mind. You are weak for refusing to.

Stay curious. Stay willing.

Facts over feelings.
