Ping...
Hurrr derrr “Its just a scam!” derrrr.......
There. I saved somebody the trouble of typing it.
Shave and a haircut.... .000002 bits
I don’t kick myself for not buying any Bitcoin back when it was just a dollar.
Because had I bought a bunch at $1.00, I would have sold them all at $1.50, then bragged to my friends about my amazing 50% profit.
Time to buy!
The wall at $100,000 is about 1,500 bitcoin. That’s gonna take a few minutes to get through. It’s not happening today. Maybe tomorrow.
Anyway, the nature of this thing is to bounce high, fall back and then grind upwards.
So, my guess is we go to $100-110, drop back to $90. Then after Trump starts, it will take off to pretty lofty levels.
How many bitcoins are there?
Talk about a house built on sand.
BTW, I just learned from my brother about a friend of his that was always a huge bitcoin fan. I said the price is popping and Joe (not his real name) was always a huge fan. I then found out that he paid $800 dollars for his bit coins and had bought a few tens of thousands of dollars worth Back in the day. Now, this friend was also always a little flakey so I asked my brother if he ever sold it. He said no.
However, when I said that he must be sitting pretty, my brother said he lost it all because he had moved it to FTX.
i.e. he lost it all.

Pinging again with news.
Judge in Shanghai Court just ruled that Bitcoin is property and Chinese citizens can own it.
Seems significant.
I built mining rigs and mined Etherum from Dec 17 until Eth was done being available for mining. They bowed to the pressure of the Green Energy lobby. With that those who controlled Etherum no longer had sane restrictions on what they could release, or burn.
I am 83% BTC and 17% SOL. I wish I had kept the SOLona... but at least my holdings were enough that I gave a BTC to each of my boys. They are dumbfounded that they are sitting on nearly 99K today. Both have become investors in BTC.
All at once, for the first time in my life, I have more money than I can literally afford to spend. It is incredible that 7 years in Dec 2017 I started out buying computer equipment and self educating myself. The first 5 years were a tax nightmare because I owed taxes every year due to the deposits being income and then any trading.
Now I buy and hold so I do not have realized income. Trump jumped on the BTC bandwagon while the DNC was against it, yet during the election period you would hard pressed to figure out that the Democrats were against BTC/crypto if your went to Coinbase - they were basically running static not knowing the outcome of the election.
Trump has announced the US will hold BTC. Eighteen states are now going to purchase and hold BTC.
The race is on and it is a matter of how fast your state or country gets BTC holdings, but it is going to be the Gold Standard.
One-Tenth of one BTC which is 10K today will be enough for your family’s future to deposit and draw capital proceeds from the Fund/Financial House to live without working.
Self Custody is great. The trick at this point for me is that I will owe 60K on taxes for each one I pull out of coinbase. Maybe I can move them to MicroStrategy and put them on deposit since Michael Saylor’s an innovative guy;)
