If any pleb is selling his/her Bitcoin right now because "it's a good price", then let me tell you something. You're merely letting those billionaires win against you because you're giving away the only financial advantage you have against them - Your precious Bitcoin.

We have already front-ran them. Don't give them the opportunity to front-run YOU by selling now. Sell later, sell when it's in a seven figure price valuation, sell when Bitcoin has surged above Gold's total market value.

‎This is exactly the mindset needed right now. Too many retail investors are giving away their edge just because the price looks good. Meanwhile, institutions are stacking quietly, planning years ahead while some folks are still thinking in weeks.
‎
‎The fact that only 492,750 BTC is left to be mined in the next 3 years should be enough to wake people up. The supply squeeze is real, and once these entities lock up their bags, liquidity will vanish fast.
‎
‎Retail needs to stop being exit liquidity for billionaires. Accumulate with conviction, stay patient, and understand the game you are playing. We front-ran them once don’t hand it back on a silver platter.

Our fellow plebs sell at current valuations because they're afraid to HODL througn the drawdowns of the bear market cycle. BUT with Bitcoin, it's OK because if you zoom out to the maximum, you as a HODLer will always outperform more than 90% of plebs who are trying to "trade".

HODL good assets such as Bitcoin, but avoid buying the DIPs of bad assets like shitcoins, and YOU will survive.

Well said, most plebs get shaken out because they can’t stomach the volatility so they sell low, buy high, and repeat. But zooming out shows the truth, patient HODLers of solid assets like Bitcoin consistently outperform short term traders chasing hype......The key is knowing what you hold, why you hold it, and having the conviction to ride out the cycles. Stay focused, avoid distractions, and DCA with clarity not emotion.

It's probably not only about the volatility. It's also because they're not educated well enough about the basics/fundamentals of Bitcoin. It's laughable to see some plebs sell their Bitcoin to "invest" or "trade" a shitcoin. If they have an edge against the market, OK. But most probably they DON'T, then it's better to HODL only Bitcoin because nothing has outperformed it plus we know it's going to exist longer than ALL of those shitcoins.

The problem is not just volatility, it's fundamental ignorance. Many still don’t understand why Bitcoin stands apart. Watching people sell Bitcoin to gamble on some vaporware altcoin is painful. Unless you have a proven edge in the market which most people don’t, you're just setting yourself up to lose sats. Bitcoin is the apex asset undisputed track record, unmatched decentralization, and the only one with true long term credibility. Everything else? Noise that will likely vanish. Holdling Bitcoin isn't just safer it's smarter.

If they want to gamble on shitcoins, then they should do it when they have ENOUGH capital held in Bitcoin. If you ask me, "how much is ENOUGH"? I would say about a minimum of six figures in U.S. Dollars - $100,000. It might be too small for some people in BitcoinTalk, but I'm a pleb. That amount of money is large enough as a capital base if you ask me.

Plus how much to gamble in shitcoins, probably a maximum of 10%, no more than that - but that's already high risk. You can lower that to 5% and under.

If a normie with less than a $15k annual income had spent the last 6-ish years buying bitcoin at $50 per week, then he may well would have invested $16.4k and he would have 1 BTC.

I personally think that we have to go by the 200-WMA rather than the spot price to figure out what to do, and 1 BTC has a spot value of $117k-ish and a 200-WMA value of $50.2k-ish. Such guy would be able to sustainably withdraw $5k per year, which is ONLY about $100 per week for the rest of his life. I personally think that he should keep stacking for a bit longer, yet he is already 1/3 of his current annual income, so he is pretty close to being able to replace his current income with the passage of time whether he stacks more BTC or not. Sure, he might want more than his current income, such as he might want to double his income to $30k per year, which surely would mean another cycle or perhaps a bit more of stacking, yet of course, what he wants likely depends on his age and other factors.
