Whenever you create a new Bitcoin only wallet, the app you use to create the wallet will give you a recovery phrase. A recovery phrase is a string of 12 or 24 words that you can use to install your wallet on another device or to reload your wallet to the device you’re using now in case there is a problem. It’s important to take good care of this phrase to make sure you can always get to your Bitcoin How do you take care of your recovery phrase? Do you write it down? Do you engrave it on a metal wallet? Do you use a metal wallet with tiles? Or do you use another way to keep it safe?

What’s ONE thing you wish someone had told you earlier about Bitcoin or building wealth? Let’s drop gems for the next person who’s still figuring it out.⚡

Here’s an analogy that might help explain Bitcoin to newer members: Think of Bitcoin like a fire. If you add more logs to a fire, the flame burns hotter and grows larger. This happens because the fire has fuel and the right environment to keep burning. Now compare that to Bitcoin: Bitcoin itself = the flame Money flowing into Bitcoin = the fuel People adopting, mining, and supporting = the fire keepers The internet + decentralized blockchain = the environment As long as: ✅ People continue to understand and value Bitcoin ✅ Capital continues to move into it ✅ The blockchain remains secure and decentralized Bitcoin continues to grow in strength and scale. It’s not just speculation — it’s a self-reinforcing energy network. The more people feed it, the brighter it gets. Would love to hear how others would expand this analogy. What is Bitcoin to you? ⚡🔥

I think we've all felt worried at some point when Bitcoin has taken a big drop in price. Is it going to bounce back like it has in the past? Is Bitcoin still healthy? Is this really where I should keep my money for future financial freedom? I still feel worried when Bitcoin drops even though this is my fourth cycle. I mainly worry for people who I’ve gotten to buy Bitcoin. I want them to stick it out so that they get the great long term growth Bitcoin will give them. What would you tell a friend who is panicking and wants to sell their Bitcoin?

A lot of people only compare “buying BTC now” versus “waiting for dips.” But there’s a third option that often gets overlooked: accumulating BTC through mining over time. For the same $200,000 allocation (at a BTC price of $95k): Buying BTC gives you 2.1 BTC instantly. Mining can grow that stack to nearly 4 BTC by Year 4. Break-even sits around 26 months, and after that the miner keeps generating Bitcoin regardless of price volatility. This isn’t about trading — it’s about understanding the different ways Bitcoin accumulates. Curious what others here think: 💬 Is long-term mining a better strategy than simply buying and holding?
