Repeat after me:
“It’s going up forever Laura”

A new meme is born.
My body is ready.

I think that Laura needs to change her journalistic philosophy.

She has been covering bitcoin and various shitcoins that she deems as "crypto currencies" for several years, and she has been a pretty BIG name in the bitcoin space.. but she has maintained a journalistic integrity position for quite a while in terms of NOT investing in bitcoin, and sooner or later, she better get some fucking clues about failing/refusing to protect her own lil selfie by continuing to fail/refuse to establish a reasonable stake in bitcoin....

So, I am not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I really believe that she is short changing herself.. and in that regard, she has been becoming more and more knowledgeable about bitcoin, and she even seems to have been becoming more and more knowledgeable over the years in order to unwillingly kind of convert into a bitcoin maximalist.. and yeah, she might not admit it and yeah, she might not frame the matter in a way that I am framing it because wanting to keep the impression of journalistic integrity and neutrality and all that bullshit... but I do feel a bit bad for her in regards to short-changing herself financially.

By the way, I did listen to that podcast between Laura Shin and Saylor in the end of January when it came out (here's a link if peeps want to listen to the whole 1 hour and a half thingie), and sure Saylor did end up lecturing Laura a bit in regards to some of her seemingly trader rather than HODLer thinking.. so there were some seemingly hostile times during that interview, and maybe it did kind of show that Laura might have been under-appreciating the power and importance of bitcoin through her ongoing attempts at journalistic objectivism.

Another thing, people might consider me to be a bit crazy in my assertion too that I consider myself to be quite open minded and objective about bitcoin too.. so fuck that kind of thinking that you cannot be sufficiently objective and be invested in something at the same time... but I will admit that over the years I have become more and more convicted about bitcoin, and I am going to deny that I am lacking in objectivity because of the size of my investment.. but whatever, I still kind of understand that perspective regarding having some detachment to see some matters in a different way, but I would also assert that the different way of seeing matters does not necessarily cause the person to be more informed about the world or that particular matter, even if they are seeing the matter from a different (non-invested) perspective.

The problem with Laura is that, by the time she becomes "more knowledgeable about Bitcoin", it will be "far too expensive" for her, and she won't buy... Of course, if she considers Bitcoin to be "far too expensive", it means that she still doesn't get it... It's OK though, some day she will get it, as will most current nocoiners.

As for being objective while HoDLing, I fully agree with what you've posted. I believe that being a Bitcoin HoDLer does not take away one's ability to criticize it. If anything, as far as I'm concerned at least, I feel that being a Bitcoin HoDLer makes me a harder Bitcoin critic. Maybe it's a personal thing, but I'm always very critical of the stuff I own, theories I agree with, etc. I want them to be put to the test and any weaknesses exposed. So, as a Bitcoin HoDLer, I say to all who want to attack Bitcoin: "Bring it on! Come and get it, and if you manage to do it I'm ready to change my viewpoint on cryptocurrencies!"



I wonder what they'll be saying when Bitcoin drops from $400k to $300k. "Bitcoin is dead", surely!

There won’t be any drop from $400k to $300k:

“It’s going up forever Laura”

Just short-term, man, just short-term!
