New ATH is NOT the goal!
New ATH is cool… but it’s not the goal.
Everyone’s excited about Bitcoin breaking new ATH, and yeah, it’s awesome. But let’s not forget why we’re here.
This isn’t just about price. It’s about freedom.
We didn’t get into Bitcoin just to get rich. We came here to escape inflation, broken systems, and centralized control.
A higher price is a milestone. The real goal? A fair, open financial system that actually works for people.
Don’t lose sight of that.
And the last thing:
Stack BITCOIN even 100k sats!

My Dad Just Died, & one of the few things bringing me peace is Bitcoin.
My Dad died yesterday morning and one of the few things keeping me from spiraling is knowing I hold Bitcoin. Though spiraling could still happen. He just started drawing retirement 4 months ago but wanted to keep truck driving another year and then scale back. I guess he was trying to pay off a personal loan left over from when he was an owner operator (he switched to being a company driver earlier this year) and a smallish car loan because he treated himself to a 2014 pickup truck last month. He was a humble, simple, hardworking and easily content guy. He was 67 and this was his 49th year as a truck driver. He was healthy for his age. Never needed medications, no chronic diseases, walked 18 holes with his brother on the golf course several times a month, just had his annual and passed with flying colors a few months ago. He parked his semi at his destination and when getting out of his truck immediately "passed out" and hit the ground. It was instant. Because of fiat, my Dad was still busting his ass at 67 and driving states away from home to try to get off the hamster wheel. My parents were just starting to feel like they could breathe and meet goals with her retirement, his recent retirement, and his continued plan of working for a few more years.
I'm pissed that he worked for almost 50 years and drew for just a few months. My mom will receive his benefit but still. I've been worried about my parents' finances for the last few years. My sister and I just couldn't figure out where they were- are they secretly sitting on a million, or just a couple hundred thousand with loans still? We figured the latter was most accurate. My parents bought their house 35 years ago but still owe 80K on it. Refinances must have occurred.
I decided years ago I would need to prepare myself to help my parents financially. I just thought I had a longer runway. I haven't been able to orange pill my family but orange pilled myself several years ago. I'm hopeful that if we can make solid choices now as a family and my mom can keep on a budget over the next few years- in about 5 years I can financially step in after things have baked longer.
I love my Dad. Fiat sucks. Finding some hope through Bitcoin today.

Ouch! The German government sold 49,858 BTC at $57,900 ($2.89B) in July 2024. With BTC at $109,452 in July 2025 one year later, they would've netted $5.45B! That's a $2.57B miss! 🫣📉 Don't sell your Bitcoin!

%5 for Speculation
I recently heard a rule that no more than 5% of your assets should be devoted to speculation or “fun money”.
I think this is a really good rule and will be abiding by it, and I think you should too.
After a lot of thought, my new portfolio is:
95% BTC
5% S&P 500
I can’t in good faith go higher than 5% S&P given the amount of speculation it requires in terms of performance of the traditional finance system.
Thank god for the world’s hardest money!
