Biggest lesson of this bear market:

When using Bitcoin as your primary means of value storage, the volatility to the downside is a risk to never forget, so if you’re ever considering large capex opportunities, such as a renovation, if, and only if, you feel wealthy enough in that moment of decision, you proceed, and you take all the money off the table to ringfence for the project, and manage a predictable cash flow

I didn’t so this… I wish I had

forced selling reveals your weak points. consider coinjoin and a more robust cold storage setup for future resilience.

I know a guy running a TG group with technical analysis market commentary

Talk in through “strategy”, good time to buy or sell

Nowhere have they mentioned selling any Bitcoin

But behind the scenes they’ve taken 65% off the table at strategic points on the way down

Each to their own of course

But be careful out their friends

This week, I spoke with David Parkinson, an entrepreneur deep in the Bitcoin journey, turning his passion into a reality. No-one said this was easy, but it sure is interesting! Musqet is a very exciting business, and an example of where I see things going long-term, with practical implementations of Bitcoin in the real world. In particular keep an ear out for his experience fundraising, an area I have more and more interest in.

NO one does. It comes down to conviction and faith. Self Sovereignty can’t be outsourced Jake 😘

What you are seeking (in all those predictions) is an internal peace can’t be found “out there”.

The same technical analysts that had a chart saying 180k was inevitable

Are now, mhaving said we were in a bull market a few weeks back, are pointing at charts saying it’s going to 40k

More and more I think of it as pointless noise

Watching these analysts flip from 180k to 40k is like watching a weather app change from "Sunny" to "Tornado" while I’m already standing outside without an umbrella. 🤣 It’s wild how they can draw three colored lines on a chart and call it a "bull market" on Tuesday, then redraw the exact sa...

You’ll rarely go wrong letting most things go in one ear and out the other.

Got to remember, all price predictions are just opinions

It is pointless noise. Fiat is a ponzi. Bitcoin is the best money ever. It's impossible to use fiat to measure Bitcoin.
Achilles · 2d
It is. Nobody has a fu clue about the orange beasts fiat price tag. Fiat is the wrong measurement stick. Best we can do is stacking harder.

I buy as much as i can each month, live simple and healthy, enjoy life with wife and child, put down phone, read and write. Life is better than ever⚡️⚡️⚡️

I sold some bitty to pay the loan down. I reduced my leverage. I didn't want the stress. This could get bumpy.

Never bet the farm. The hashrate is reflective of the true cost of Bitcoin in energy itself. The fluctuating prices outside the stable rise alongside the hashrate is indeed just noise.

All noise Jake, Bitcoin is the real sound 💜

It's the same with AI and education. AI can help in the education process...potentially quite a bit...but it can never fully replace the human connection between teacher and student.

Love this approach @Maciek

Nice work

Thanks for the tag @Filou - lots of lessons being brutally handed out in the bear of Q1 2026

I was using a volatile asset to pay for fixed costs and lifestyle

This I won’t do again

In the end, I am grateful for the pain, the stomach churn, the hard conversations with my wife, the fear, this IS the work, and the key is to now iterate, get stronger, and next time around I’ll be better equipped for the moment

💪🏻
