    There once was a CZcamsr called James,
    Who turned Bears into Bulls and found fame,
    For one day he turned bear,
    Many sold bags in despair,
    But Bitcoin went to the moon all the same.

    Thanks. Finally a dose of reality. This is not my first cycle. Personally, I didn't get into BTC to liberate all of humanity or sing kumbaya. I got in for the asymmetrical bet of a lifetime. I got in to make a killing. Which has yet to pan out. I'm still a believer, but hope is not a strategy. I have adjusted my expectations. I'm 65. Will it even happen in my lifetime? Not the way things are going. We shall see.

    James, your Bear case video kicked my ass. I’m hiking…I always listen to you while I’m hiking up mountains and I had to stop to write this. If you were behind the dump from 74,000 down to 57,000 because of your saying Tesla having a projected 29X versus 9X of bitcoin and you admit to that… that was the worst of your negative points you shared. But to give all those points in a bear case. and then come back and say, but I’m still bullish on BTCeven though you tell us you don’t hold bitcoin only microstrategy again kicked my ass. I’m pretty down. I’m 68 1/2 years old much of the stuff you talk about is over my head. I’m pretty much bitcoin and Ethereum and Solana… trying to get out of my Ethereum to go into Solana. And that’s all because of my confidence in you and that video just shook my confidence in bitcoin and whether I should lessen my exposure. Damn.

      Holding MSTR is a leveraged bet on BTC. You should always take some profits. A simple strategy that works even if you’re bullish is to sell 2% for every 10% gain against your cost basis. This way you take profits rationally while profiting up through a bull run. Then dump those shavings into Berkshire or similar.

    Hey James, I've been studying BTC for years now, I am a professional...I've identified the only real major risk to the BTC network, including that of quantum computing...is simply...an EMP or nasty Solar flare

    • @rogarok5880
      @rogarok5880 Před 26 dny

      An EMP is not a forever destructive event to BTC. Even a thermonuclear war is not. Once a bit of the network is loaded and running inside a faraday enclosure which protects the data center of a miner, the Bitcoin operating system is not only immortal, it's near impossible to take down as electricity is always restored, it restarts where it stopped. Even if a planetary collapse occurs, any marginally surviving Bitcoin node is enough for BTC to exist. I'm a professional computer scientist and I run the BTC code in my installation, I have studied the code extensively for years now. There is so much genius in the 1.2 million lines of C++ that I wonder if earthlings really wrote it. The BTC transactions logic has its own script code with no loops, impossible to hack.
      Bottom line, it's unlikely that BTC and its nodes will ever be impacted out if existence in the next 100 years, it's too late right now for a malicious source to harm it since it has reached execution critical mass. BTC architecture, implementation and current tech support create its protection and human avarice provides its best guardianship including the miners. With 46 million American voting adults owning BTC, any politicians trying to harm Digital Gold will have a hard time staying in government in one piece and upright. Similar political support grows daily across the planet....
      No, an EMP is nothing against BTC and its future, the worst enemies are the ones who buy but don't HODL in cold storage but even these are not a huge threat as they will buy again at a higher price when it pumps once more. As BTC tech acceptance reaches critical mass in the planet, we will have perfect universal money for the next thousand years. James has a good reason for his optimism.

    For quantum proofing, coins need to be moved to quantum proofed wallet, which is a problem for lost coins, that will never move (and so be hacked).
    At least wallets that have never transacted are harder to hack since their public key is also not directly known (but can still be found with a quantum computer)
    So i dont know what to do about that info...
    Also, people that move their coins will create huge congestion on the network (which is good for miners, but bad for other users) also they may decide to sell some while they move their stash.

    Great show James, I appreciate the equanimity of analyzing the bear case. Nevertheless I truly think it's all a matter of patience. We have nothing else than tail winds actually, when one takes into account the big picture. Thank You so much as always. Take care!

    The ultimate bear case for Bitcoin is that the governments with most Bitcoin coordinate the sale of their Bitcoin and leverage that over the longest period possible. Easy to do as the US government just showed by shifting only 600 billion to Coinbase. This could, in theory, be done ad infinitim whenever they want and in bigger quantities. If the mere threat of sale produces these results, they have the market trapped. Why is this not discussed ?

      gold has a higher carrying cost and much higher transaction fees so gold is easily rehypothcated. It was the basis of fractional reserves. What i do see happening is small investor data being leaked and an ability to see how to liquidate leveraged positions .

      It won’t hit $100k lol, we investors are a grain of sand at the beach compared to the market makers; they will never allow it to go high when they go long hunting every time. I’m happy at $59k but more focused on Solana.

    My biggest concern is that price is defined at the margin so a few whales can manipulate it to hoover up as much new money as possible. The dynamic of whales and HODLers may end up undermining the use cases. Having said that, whales would eventually want exit liquidity and would need miner profitability to be able to get all their transactions verified.
