Jack Mallers said his bitcoin cant be taken by force because its a 'number in his head'. What exactly did he mean by this, do you think?
Ive been really looking into self custody and security lately and curious what he was implying about how he is storing his coins. Ive heard of using a number to decrypt a page of words or something similar, but curious what you guys think

Fiat is financial Stockholm Syndrome and normies are still defending their captor
Lately it feels like I'm trying to help people escape an abusive relationship.
But they just keep running back to the abuser.
Fiat is financial Stockholm Syndrome.
The system takes from them constantly (through inflation, taxes, devaluation, surveillance) and they still defend it.
They've been in it so long they think it's normal.
They think it's normal to work two jobs and still struggle.
They think it's normal that saving money makes you poorer.
They think it's normal that you need permission to use your own money.
And when you show them Bitcoin, a money that doesn't steal from them, doesn't inflate, doesn't require permission...
They flinch.
\- Too volatile!
\- Too complicated!
\- Too risky!
\- What if the government bans it?
They’re not even arguing with you.
They’re arguing with their own fear.
They’ve internalized this broken system so deeply, they can’t even imagine life outside of it.
So yeah, I’m done trying to educate people who don’t want to be unplugged.
You can’t force someone to leave captivity if they still think the cage is there to protect them.
Now I just plant the seed.
I say what needs to be said and move on.
When the pain hits, when their bank freezes their money, when inflation guts their savings, when they realize they own nothing and it’s not getting better — they’ll remember.
There was a way out.
There was another path.
There was something called Bitcoin.
Let them find it when they’re ready.
As a wiser man than me once said:
"Everybody buys bitcoin at the price they deserve".

Whatever your position just be grateful you aren't a buttcoiner
So what's with those people anyway? If you aren't convinced of bitcoin that's fine. To each their own. Live and let live. Peace man. But actively spending your energy copy pasting and posting a belittling message for all your little butty pals. That's basically like playground stuff.
I personally don't enjoy Jazz music. I don't know why but it just doesn't float my boat. However.....many people do. The last thing I'm gonna bother doing is finding Jazz appreciation chats and make fun of them. For one they are entitled to like Jazz. For two I have many better things to spend my time on.
So buttcoiners. What gives? 😁

Im 90% sure this shit is about to explode
The amount of money being poured in and yet the price is still stagnant around 104 - 108k. Something is stabilizing the price and keeping it low. I feel like this is being done deliberately, eventually (sometime in the next few months - 1 year) they're gonna let it send.

Journey from whole coiner to half coiner
Sold half btc when it hit 100k last year to buy some alts. Expected(alt season) I'll be making easy 4-5x in few weeks then rotate back to BTC.
Let's have a few moment for the alts which are currently -70%. Yet.
I see why you guys say why to never sell BTC.
