After 5 consecutive red weekly candles, Bitcoin dropped another 23% in 2018 and over 50% in 2022.
In 2026, it was only around 15%.
And we’re already back at $76,000.
I’m starting to think people seriously underestimate how much selling pressure we’ve already absorbed.
This is starting to look a lot like seller exhaustion.

Gold multi year structure tell us what’s coming to Bitcoin
Bitcoin is back in EXTREME FEAR.
Historically, after days like these:
• 6 months later: 50% were higher
• 1 year later: 60%
• 2 years later: 83%
• 3 years later: 100%
Even the WORST 3-year return was +13% annually.
You know what to do.

Bitcoin at $76,000 and only 58.3% of the supply is in profit.
Historically, similar readings have appeared during some of the best accumulation opportunities of the past decade.

The US Treasury will buy back up to $95 BILLION of its own debt.
Meanwhile, US debt is over $40 TRILLION and the government is still running a $2 trillion annual deficit.
They’re borrowing more just to keep the system running.
Eventually, something has to give. And I seriously doubt politicians will choose spending cuts over currency debasement.
Buy assets. Stocks, gold, real estate, Bitcoin.
Your purchasing power isn’t their priority.

One day you'll wish you had the balls.
Bitcoin below its 2-year average.
I genuinely believe people will look back at this chart in 4 years and feel physically sick for not buying more.
Extreme fear always ends in extreme regret.
It’s wild to me that anything Sahil is exposing now surprises anyone.
Wasn’t this all super obvious? That Ansem and these other guys were scamming in broad daylight? That pumpfun itself set everything up for many memecoin rugpulls? That Alon was/is directly involved in very shady things?
You need to get a new brain if you’re surprised about any of this.

The stock market went up +163% in dollar terms over the last 8 years.
But those dollars were printed out of thin air.
Compared to Bitcoin, the stock market actually went down -78% in the same period.
Don’t listen to your investment guru telling you to buy index funds.

🇧🇪 🇫🇷 BREAKING: Binance has sent emails to Belgian and French customers informing them that it will cease operations in these countries and that their accounts will be closed by 31 December.
Other countries where operations will be shut down include Poland, Italy, and Spain.
It’s expected that this will be the case for all 27 EU member states, as Binance has not been granted a MiCA licence.
However, customers in the other countries do not seem to have received such an email yet.
If you are from the countries mentioned before, please withdraw your funds.

The S&P 500 spent 88% of trading days below its previous all-time high.
Yet it has been one of the greatest wealth-building machines in history.
Patience and consistency will make you more money than trying to time every crash.

I’m seeing more and more people give up on crypto to chase AI.
And I think they’re confusing a boring market with a broken thesis.
Bitcoin’s supply is still capped at 21 million. Institutional adoption keeps expanding. Stablecoins and tokenization are bringing more of the financial system on-chain.
None of that disappeared because prices are down and AI is getting all the attention.
After 9 years in this market, I still see enormous asymmetric upside in crypto.
Not in every random altcoin, but in the technology and assets I genuinely believe will matter in 10 years.

I’ve never met a conservative who turned into a liberal or socialist.
But I’ve met plenty of leftists who gradually abandoned everything they once believed in and became right-wing conservatives.
Funny how the political awakening only seems to go in one direction.
So what is politically“waking up”, and who is just convinced they’re awake?

Doesn’t matter who gets elected.
Stocks keep going up and your money keeps losing purchasing power.
Stop worrying about who’s in charge and start worrying about what you own.

The reason why the market is down only 2-3% after the biggest crypto hack in history is simple: there's no domino effect.
Unlike FTX and other collapses, this won't trigger a chain reaction of bankruptcies, liquidations and further losses across the industry.
Money was stolen from the world's biggest exchange. Binance has the funds to cover it. Nobody else takes the hit.
Why would the market crash over an isolated incident involving the player with the deepest pockets in the industry?
No contagion. No bankruptcy risk. No domino effect.

The term is old French and comes from the time of the first crusades - most of the crusaders came from French-speaking areas.
Crusaders needed money to finance their expeditions. They often mortgaged their lands to wealthy religious institutions and nobles.
If they survived the crusade, they would pay back the money. If they’d die, the noble or institution received their collateralized land.
Mort = death
Gage = pledge
In old French. And the term is still used today. Sinister meaning and story behind it though.
