Time Is Running Out

The opportunity for retail to front run Wall Street, institutions, and nation states on Bitcoin is waning.

Let’s begin with a few basic facts:

  1. Bitcoin is up over 100% year-to-date. The FOMO that many are beginning to feel is real. The odds of the average person just starting out stacking one full BTC is becoming exceedingly low.
  2. Bitcoin ETFs surpassed gold ETFs recently in just 10 months; gold ETFs had a 20-year head start.
  3. MicroStrategy is the best performing stock of the last four years because of it’s Bitcoin strategic reserve (they hold over 1% of all BTC that will ever exist) and just announced plans to buy $42B more over the next several years.
  4. Semler Scientific, Metaplanet, and Marathon Holdings have all made recent announcements to acquire more Bitcoin for their strategic reserves.
  5. Microsoft shareholders are voting next month on adding Bitcoin to its treasury.
  6. The most pro-Bitcoin/anti-crypto-regulation president in history takes office in January.
  7. Trump, Vance, Vivek, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and RFK JR. all personally own Bitcoin.
  8. A bill has been proposed for the US to adopt a strategic Bitcoin reserve, an initiative Trump has hinted at supporting, as well.

How can you not be bullish?

My contention is not, however, that all of these developments are ideal for the average person. I’d much prefer bitcoin to remain in the hands of everyday retail investors over institutions, much less governments. And still some 99% of retail investors, investment advisors, and others on “main street” view Bitcoin as a speculative investment, “magic internet money,” or worse. It’s never too late to get in, but time is running out to accumulate much at the discounted rate of $90,000 per coin.

That said, we are today where we always would inevitably be. It’s hard - impossible, even - to outrun the best form of money ever to exist. And people are waking up to it.

Depending on how things play out - the Microsoft vote, a national strategic Bitcoin reserve, etc. - Bitcoin adoption (and it’s dollar-denominated exchange rate) could increase quickly and dramatically.

The only kinds of people who believe they have enough Bitcoin are those who 1) don’t have any because they think it’s a scam and 2) those who haven’t studied it.

For the rest of us, the “cheap Bitcoin” train might well be leaving the station in the very near future, never to return.

As Satoshi Nakamoto himself said, “It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.”

Indeed, it seems to be doing just that.
