This price is once again crying out for the hoe. For work. For that primal feeling that nothing of value comes without sweat. Bitcoin’s volatility hasn’t punished us. It has rewarded us. It has pushed us back, not into poverty but into opportunity. Back to a time when rolling up our sleeves could still change everything.
For all of us former shitcoiners, this is a moment of sobriety. Not because we experimented, but because we failed to accumulate when we should have. We spent hard earned money on quick stories, on promises, on tokens that offered shortcuts. Instead of turning that work, that energy, that time into Bitcoin. We were not wrong for searching for something better. We were wrong for not understanding how sacred accumulation truly is.
Bitcoin teaches patience. It teaches time. It teaches that the energy we invest today does not disappear. It compounds. Work only makes sense if we preserve it.
Now is the time to learn new tools. Not to chase the next shiny narrative, but to use our time better. The internet gives us speed like never before. Knowledge is accessible. Anyone can create value faster than ever. But only if they work. Only if they build. Only if they take responsibility.
When the price is lower than expected, the work alarm goes off. No complaining. That is when we push harder. Produce more. Learn more. Take on more responsibility to capture more sats. When the price is higher than expected, it is time to spend. Time to return some energy back into life, family, experiences. But with limits. Because we must think about the stack that will wait for us when we are no longer a strong ASIC capable of heavy accumulation. When we grow old and the strength to mine fades, our past work will keep mining for us.
Through bitcoin I learned that my work and my spent energy do not fade through inflation. Over time they gain value. And then you realize that maybe you do not need a pension as it exists in this distorted system. Your work becomes your pension. Your accumulated energy becomes your freedom.
No more waiting. No more excuses. Price is the teacher. Volatility is the filter. Those who remain understand that wealth is not measured in fiat numbers, but in preserved energy.
Stay humble and stack sats.
