December 18th 2020
This week we cracked the all-time high! Now that is what a breakout looks like. To all the long time hodlers and readers who have been stacking sats through 2020 and beyond, congratulations! Predicting the future is not as easy as we make it look ;)
Major events such as this zoom us into the chaos and noise of the market's real time pulse. But the most successful people in crypto are the ones who bought early and do nothing. Predicting the future is only half of an investor's job, the harder half is witnessing your thesis play out without interfering.
To help, I try to stay zoomed out by default.
For example, the chart I look at every day is bookmarked/defaults to the monthly view (see below). I also prefer reading macro views of markets and monetary history over the latest regulatory FUD or the hottest new trading app.
I believe that a faster, free'er, safer, unencumbered money is inevitable. But this is a big change from the way money works today, which means there will be a lot of volatility over a long time frame.
Hodl tight.

Zoomed Out Chart of the Week
I like to start each day with this chart before getting sucked into the noise.
Bitcoin in 30 seconds
To celebrate the ATH, I took @ShakePay up on their Twitter challenge to "describe bitcoin so that your mom would understand it in 30 seconds or less". What do you think mom? Listen here.
Tweet of the Week
You see the headline all the time, "$1,000 invested in Bitcoin in 2010 would be worth a bajillion dollarz today!". The reality is, 99% of people who invest early end up like this guy (most just didn't tweet about it).
