Y'all keeping up with what Jerome Powell is saying right now about interest rate cuts? Every time the Federal reserve lowers interest rates Bitcoin skyrockets... Key takeaway from the event today: A rate cut in September 2025 is highly likely, with the most probable date being Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at 11:00 AM PDT, coinciding with the FOMC meeting announcement.

Check it out... - Bitcoin has a maximum issuance of 21 million coins. - But 19.7 million have already been mined. - And an estimate 3–4 million have never moved once/are thought to be lost forever. - Which leaves us with about 15M coins but... - 13m of those coins are kept offline and are NOT on exchanges. Only 2 million coins are on exchanges right now. And that number keeps dropping by about 100k-200k bitcoins every year. Why? Because of what I wrote in this post here AND because people are learning to buy & not sell. Old days: Buy low & sell high to take profit. Now: Buy anytime & HODL for life and just take out loans against your bitcoin if you need cash. If BTC reserves on exchanges keep dropping by 100-200k/year... by the year 2030 there may only be 100,000 bitcoins left in circulation... What do you think the price will be in 2030... ? This guy estimates 1 BTC will be worth $550,000 in 2030, but I think that's bearish AF because he's only calculating based on "the network effect" which is made up of regular everyday people who are using their paycheques to buy BTC and not calculating based on the fact that MEGA institutions, corporations and nation states are about to start loading up using DEBT (ie. infinite money) 😆

Bitcoin price just hit another all time high of $123,000 USD. But look: the price of bitcoin has always been volcanic. You can look back and see that BTC's price likes to stay dormant and do "nothing" for months, and then suddenly goes boom. Roughly 90% of BTC’s upside gains have come in 30 day spurts. Miss these 30 day bursts and you'd miss the gains. This is because for all the "dormant" months, weak hands sell at the same rate that diamond hands buy. Eventually the diamond hand buyers out last all the weak hand sellers and the BOOM we see an eruption in price. Could this change? In the future, could we see 60, 90, or even 180 day spurts? Yes, and that's what we may be seeing now... Here's why: Price sideways = equal amount of buying & selling happening. Price down = more selling than buying happening. Price up = more buying than selling. But we're moving into an era of WAY MORE buyers than sellers. Historically "retail" AKA regular everyday people like me, you and your neighbour are the ones who have pushed the price up with our paycheques. And when price goes up, retail likes to sell to take a profit. But now? There's a new type of buyer in town. A buyer who doesn't use paycheques, but uses infinite debt. A sophisticated buyer with infinitely deep pockets who doesn't ever plan on selling AND who doesn't plan on buying ANYTHING else except bitcoin... And this new type of buyer isn't alone. This new buyer is arriving in masses by the boatload. 100's of billionaires, mega corporations and even countries are buying BTC like they're life depends on it... because it does. Without bitcoin, they're doomed. They need it as much as we need it. The result? We're seeing massive buying pressure right now... Buying pressure like we've never seen before. And the craziest part? Retail (the sellers) are nowhere to be seen! Retail wallets are at VERY low activity levels. Very few are buying, even fewer are selling. It's the whale wallets that are seeing all the action...

We don't do crypto. We do BTC. We don't trade (buy & sell) BTC. We buy and HODL. We don't try to time the market. When prices drop, we buy. When prices are at an ATH, we buy. We also don't keep our coins on exchanges. We store our BTC in cold storage.

I want to start my first post off by thanking @Ted Carr cause Im sure this group provides volumes of perspective to new and experienced people in the space. I myself am also glad to see that there are so many people actually interested in learning and sharing their experiences about Bitcoin and what it can do for the world. Plus this is just the beginning and being apart of the 1st generation of Blockchain is history
