    It’s lonely at the bottom, but at the
    bottom is where you buy a lot more
    Bitcoin for your dollar. As the price of
    any asset drops, all of the noisy top
    buyers start to subside, which starts
    making it feel lonely as the price gets
    lower and lower because more and more of
    the noisy top buyers are standing on the
    sidelines and more of the quiet, smart
    money steps out of the shadows and picks
    up the Bitcoin or whatever asset it is
    for cheap. That’s what I’ve been doing
    from almost the beginning. Now, when I
    first got into Bitcoin, I bought a lot
    of more expensive Bitcoin because that’s
    what everybody does when they are early
    in the process. As I always say, the
    first 50% of all the Bitcoin you buy,
    you will buy on the expensive side of
    things. But after that, you start really
    wanting your asset to be on sale because
    you already own so much of it that if
    you want more of it, you want it to be
    on sale. So, it’s times like this in the
    dips that the uh you know, it feels
    lonely, but that’s when the price is on
    sale. That is why I’m buying more
    Bitcoin as soon as the wire transfer
    comes in from SD Bullion for the gold
    and silver I had back from 2017. I’m
    hoping that wire transfer will hit
    today. The conventional banking system
    sucks, so it might be Monday. I don’t
    care. I’m going to buy more Bitcoin the
    moment it hits and I will end up with
    somewhere between 5% and 10% more
    Bitcoin than I have today depending on
    the price. The lower the price goes, the
    more Bitcoin I get for every dollar. So,
    it’s lonely at the bottom. There’s a lot
    less buzz. There’s a lot less euphoria.
    Uh but you get a lot more Bitcoin. And
    think about it. If the price is going to
    go to 150 $160,000 anyway in the next 12
    months, the price gain you get from
    $95,000 Bitcoin is a lot bigger than the
    price you get from $125,000 Bitcoin.
    Now, there’s never a bad time to buy
    Bitcoin. In the rearview mirror, you
    will look at it and it will totally not
    care. You will you will look at it and
    you will think it was absolutely
    ridiculous that you were so worried
    about whether you bought Bitcoin at 95
    or 105 or 115 or 125. All of those
    numbers are going to sound just as
    ridiculous as they did back when I was
    first buying Bitcoin in 2017 and 2018,
    which all of the prices today had a zero
    removed. So the price, you know, was up
    to 12,600, which is the equivalent of
    126,000. 12,600 missing a zero or adding
    a zero is 126,000, the highest Bitcoin’s
    ever been. And then the price dropped to
    10,500.
    And of course, everybody’s freaking out.
    and which is the equivalent of 105. Then
    it drops to 9,500 and everybody’s
    freaking out some more and everybody
    worries that the Bitcoin they bought at
    12,600
    was so expensive and they can’t believe
    Bitcoin is 9,500 now. Now to put that in
    perspective, how ridiculous does that
    sound now that everybody was worried
    that they had bought expensive Bitcoin
    at 126, sorry, at 12,600 instead of
    9,500 and everybody was worried about
    whether they should wait and try to bit
    buy Bitcoin cheaper than 9,500 and a
    bunch of people missed out because, you
    know, whatever number they picked is a
    number that Bitcoin never hit. So, it’s
    lonely at the bottom, but that’s where
    you get more Bitcoin for your dollar.
    There’s nothing wrong with Bitcoin. all
    of the fundamentals. It is still
    durable, divisible, portable, fungeable,
    authentic, authenticatable, and most
    importantly, scarce. Bitcoin still has
    all of the qualities of an ideal money,
    an ideal reserve asset for the world, an
    ideal medium of exchange, store of
    value, unit of account. Everything about
    Bitcoin is just as amazing as it’s
    always been, which means eventually that
    will be reflected in the price. And if
    that is not reflected in the price
    today, so what? be patient and it will
    be eventually reflected in the price. It
    is only a matter of time and so you just
    got to wait. It’s lonely at the bottom,
    but the bottom is where there is the
    point of greatest opportunity. And I
    think Bitcoin is seriously on sale right
    now. And you know, I’m going to buy as
    much more of it as I possibly can the
    moment this wire transfer from SD
    Bullion comes in.
