I think 2025 is too soon... the bear markets are honestly the best for Bitcoin as a protocol because it's the most education and ideology-oriented. Not to mention the best time to DCA.
I'm not saying I'll rotate fully out of Bitcoin at any point, but I will assess what to do for the coming years late 2025.
That includes things like hopefully buying more gold for any gains I have made, relocating, starting an offshore company and much more, so its very much an individual process.
And also by then I'll have an informed opinion on the next cycle, maybe that could even be very much a maximalist position if privacy on Bitcoin really improves!

Privacy on Bitcoin is a very interesting conversation. Nothing wrong with good-old-gold of course. Although many folks think the btc is better (being digital for example).
I wonder if and when the 'gold community' has ever wanted to resurrect the use of gold transactionally... if that's possible. Gold used to be in coins and it's interesting to me if gold-people ever became interested in this again.

What percentage of both the Bitcoin and gold communities has actually lived the next phase of the shitty Reset thing?
My suspicion is that this number is very low... The reason that I feel remotely secure and sane traveling here in Asia and the failing Europistan is that I normally carry some gold coins that can be converted to cash anywhere, along with some dollar bills, and then of course Bitcoin along with some Monero on my phones...
I'm super aware that what we live under since 2020 happened is a global, technocratic regime that definitely want me to fuck off & die, so I'm hellbent on turning that around right at the fuckers!

That's really smart. I've heard of the 'travel with a rolex watch' thing before... as it's inconspicuous and valuable everywhere as a nice watch. However the way you put it is smart.
Personally I don't travel, when I do, with anything really valuable especially in Asia or any developing countries.

Yeah, I have a long time friend who has the skills and mindset to make a profit on basically anything he touches, he's been into old watches for decades.
I'm tempted to getting an old, scratched up Rolex with his advice, but that depends on how this bull market shapes up :-)
Getting used to carrying something that is both valuable and easy to sell is a good idea for what we're all up against long term I think!
