Alright, let's talk about this Bitcoin "dip." Everyone's panicking, right? Wrong. I'm not. And you shouldn't be either.

Market Volatility Is Freedom's Price

Look, I get it. We get it, watching your portfolio deflate isn’t quite a day at the rejuvenation center. One more thing. What most analysts don’t publicly tell you when they’ve entered a “re-accumulation phase” is that your neighbor is probably selling his new little stack to get back into gold. So, let’s tie the hands here that the ‘experts’ are overlooking. Bitcoin is volatile. That's not a bug. It's a feature. It’s the cost we incur for having a system truly beyond the oversight of central banks and governments.

Think about it. What's the alternative? Imagine a centrally controlled digital currency in which unelected bureaucrats can easily freeze your assets or inflate the supply whenever they please. That's what should be giving you anxiety. This pullback? This sounds like the market doing what it does best. It’s just shaking out the weak hands and shaking out those over-leveraged gamblers who thought they were going to get rich overnight.

Regulation Is The Real Risk

The greater threat comes not from a short-lived crash in liberating competition, but from the ever-encroaching arm of regulation. And yet each time Bitcoin goes down, the regulators start salivating, imagining new ways they can “protect” us from our own choices. But protection always comes at a cost. The more rules and restrictions they set, the more they hinder innovation and increase centralization.

Remember the early days of the internet? It was a wild west, teeming with scams and sketchy websites. Yet it was a hotbed for innovation. Think of how different our world would be today if the federal government successfully forced the internet to heel during that formative time. Otherwise, we’d still be tapping away on dial-up and AOL. The same applies to crypto. Let the market sort things out. Let the bad projects perish, let the good ones succeed. This pullback is part of that process.

Buy the Dip, Decentralize Power

So, what should you do? Panic sell? Absolutely not. This is an opportunity. Newcomers to Bitcoin should make use of the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a discount. A chance to improve your own personal sovereignty while aiding in the decentralization of the network.

According to CryptoQuant, only 24% of Bitcoin is under “unrealized loss.” Good. That means there are still lots of skeptics out there. Long-term holders are taking on the downside. This is the thing that you’re hoping to see. Have we just started a new bull market today? Probably not. Analysts are right to be cautious. That doesn’t mean you should wait on the sidelines indefinitely.

Bitcoin's history is a series of boom-and-bust cycles. Each iteration purges the ingredients surplus of the last, imprinting within it a far healthier, more sustainable, more regenerative ecosystem. Look at the dot-com bubble. Did the internet disappear? No. It fell out of favor and, over time, became the bedrock of our modern way of life. Bitcoin will do the same.

Remember what happened in late 2021? Bitcoin faked many price recoveries. Just don’t take it for granted that this ongoing recovery is the start of a new bullish cycle.

Short-term holders have an avg realized price of just $92,800. Most of the recent ships sailed out at below-breakeven, which should offer some additional buoyancy to current price floors. This is good for us.

  • Don't panic.
  • Do your research.
  • Accumulate gradually.
  • Advocate for sensible regulation (or, even better, less regulation).

Sure, making lots of money is great too, but this isn’t just about getting rich, it’s about creating a more free and decentralized world. And sometimes, freedom requires a little volatility. Embrace it.

Put down the short-term money-making charts and get back to making long-term plans. Forget the Lambo memes and focus on the real promise of Bitcoin: financial freedom. Don’t let this pullback fool you into thinking we’ve failed — this is the time that our resolve will be truly tested. It’s high time that we prove to the world that we’re not only in this game for the benjamins. We're in it for the revolution. Revolutions, like Bitcoin, are often volatile.

A Call to Crypto Arms!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go purchase more Bitcoin. At a discount.
