1 year in bitcoin…

I started actually learning about bitcoin 1 year ago. Before then it was just something that I didn’t understand.

A year ago I was trying to come up with ways to make money. I thought bitcoin would be a good idea. Didn’t know a whole lot about it other than the price might go up.

Then the rabbit hole started and I was like oh shit, this thing actually makes so much sense.

Why do we just rely on an inflationary system that makes it impossible to save money. Why no matter how hard I work am I always stuck in that same place with a retirement age being pushed later and later by the government. I don’t want to be working when I’m 70. But the system they have built forces this.

This is why even though I started buying around the last all time high. I’m still buying today. I’m not gonna lie it’s been exhausting and the year has taught me the true meaning of HODLing. But if I can make it this far I can hold on another 14 years.

I said to myself no matter what, hold for at least 15 years. I’m sticking to this. If BTC crashes and burns then at least I went out investing in something I believed in.

What doesn’t make sense to me is why the price keeps going down after so much adoption. Perhaps it’s the 4 year cycle… perhaps it’s institutional suppression… perhaps it’s lack of retail investment.

Either way I’m not selling yet. It’s exhausting but I’m hopeful. I see good news all the time and plenty of people still believe.
