Posted a couple of these I went-here-today last week (#983145, #982605) but today is a different day. Having done 109 pushups during workout session, obviously markets were gonna fuck with me and smudge that upward (#976626).

When price first touched ATH in the afternoon and we got all these celebratory/circle jerk posts on Twitter and Nostr, I closed my computer, went for a walk, and then sat in the sun chatting about music and AI with a dude from the village. Just to see how the other half lives, you know!

Now, having finished my dinner, done some SN ~~assmilking~~ content creation (#986126), sats/$ figure looking suspiciously low. Oh man, we're at it again...

(I caught a nice little moment)

What I find astonishing is something I put in an article for The Daily Economy (#803146) a few ATHs ago:

Perhaps you hadn’t noticed, but the Bitcoin world feels remarkably calm. There are no Max Keisers screaming “Fuck Elon” to ecstatic crowds, no degenerate gamblers buying bitcoin on 100x leverage with absurd government stimulus checks or loan shark money. Compared to 2021 and 2022, when Bitcoiners were all drunk in vertigo, confused at how fast this had all happened and awash in shitcoin scams and various Ponzi debacles (FTX, BlockFi, Three Arrows Capital), all is now pretty calm in this the West’s monetary frontier. Back then, those of us knee-deep in the Bitcoin space were ambushed by comments and messages from friends and family: “How does this work? Is this a bubble? Are you rich now?” Wen Lambo?

Now? Crickets. "It feels remarkably quiet. Dull, almost."

I made tea, poured myself some rum, and admired the evening quiet and the majestic mountains (#894507). The world is big and I'm so small.

How are YOU feeling, anon Stacker?

I guess I feel flowy, very in tune with the cosmos and the woo woo... (#986126)

Awesome, indeed. Yeah, it is what it is re: stacking. Then again, make no mistake, some shit will happen — MSTR related?!

It feels very good, but that also means fewer sats for exchanging it for dirty fiat.

Since my estimate for present discounted value is about 10x the current value, it doesn't do much for me.

That's the dullness speaking, I think. It's all part of the foreseen plan, so it's like "nice, we're making progress; whatever, back to work!"

Feelings is great! As well it's mesmerizing to see Bitcoin breaking all past records and reaching new heights. According to wall street Bitcoin is at 5th position beating most of the magnificent 7 companies like amazo, meta, alphabet etc.

I would ask the same but in different ways. "How has fiat inflation (From 1BTC=$48k a few months ago to 1BTC=$110k today) helped you understand Bitcoin?"

DC is a wild place to live at the moment and ngl I am starting to hate it here again.....

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Solomonsatoshi 12h

What is happening in DC that is making you hate it?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Cje95 8h

I am getting tired of people taking their anger out on people who have no say or association with decisions being made. Plus the violence is returning again and if staffers start getting caught up in attacks again there are going to be huge issues.

You mean the attack on the Israeli diplomats or something else?

Feeling good, but I've seen this kind of thing before. Just when I get up to interesting non-bitcoiny stuff in life the price perks up to try to PULL ME BACK IN.

How I feel generally:

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:

Good article and insightful reflections. I think I can identify with the peace and tranquility your words convey. After studying for many months, I understand that this ATH was simply inevitable. It was just a matter of time. On the other hand, I'm not euphoric, although it irritates me that I'm now getting less than 1,000 sats per dollar. The fiduciary financial system is designed so that valuable assets appreciate more each day, so I think this is just the beginning and was predictable.

Yep yep, this is what takes the euphoria or craziness out of it: just inevitable

If the decline and imminent fall of USA/USD hegemony is something to celebrate then ok...celebrate. I am not so sure. Unless Bitcoin is being used as a P2P payments protocol (btw it is not) what exactly are you celebrating? NGU speculative commodity gains . . . and the increasing corporate banker capture of the protocol.
