on the Bitcoin Cult & Why He Wants to Forget He Owns BTC
summary
Argues Bitcoin shows cult dynamics: conviction that nothing could change some believers' minds, and questions MicroStrategy-style firms that buy on leverage and call themselves Bitcoin treasury companies. Shares personal numbers—buys near $69k, watches it fall to $15k, ends roughly up about $18,000—and a hot take to buy and forget rather than trade. Warns about physical risk like wrench attacks and says if BTC ever hits $1M the instinct is to throw the phone in the river.
