Some Perspective - Slow vs Rapid Adoption

It’s safe to say that most people here hold BTC, and most would welcome a significant rise in its value. However, those who have been around long enough know that sudden, sharp increases often lead to volatility. Instead, a slow and steady approach over the long term is key to global adoption.

This week has been monumental... more so than I think many even realize.

When one country starts buying, it can trigger FOMO in others, but it can also lead to backlash. We’ve seen this reaction before...individuals who announce large purchases often face criticism, and companies are cautious when other companies do the same. In essence, everyone may resist change at first, but eventually, they embrace it.

In this context, the establishment of the strategic reserve, in exactly the way it has been done, is a smart move. It’s like planting seeds in the minds of other nations without pushing too quickly. By clearly showing that “we have 200k BTC and we’re not selling,” the longer the U.S. maintains this stance, the more likely others will begin to collect BTC at their own pace (even if quietly or secretively) in order to join the party.

While many may desire a sudden FOMO-driven event, the real path to sustainable, widespread adoption, and a lasting increase in BTC’s price... is gradual acceptance. The strategic reserve is encouraging others to consider, “Should I do that too?”

Keep this in mind if you start feeling impatient in the coming days, weeks, or months. Every day that BTC remains steadfast is a step toward broader adoption, and that’s a good day indeed.
