THE WORLD’S DUMBEST/MOST EFFECTIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGY: PATIENCE 🧘‍♂️

Everyone is talking about Bitcoin Pizza Day…

But they’re conveniently leaving one MASSIVE point out of the conversation.

‘Cause sure – on paper, it’s a crazy story. 👇

Not only that, but Laszlo spent nearly 100,000 $BTC on other items as well (that’s equivalent to $8.6B+ today)!

But here’s what everyone is glossing over…

Whether or not that 10,000 $BTC was spent on pizza back in 2010 – it doesn’t change this:

The chances that Laszlo would have held from 2010 to today are NEAR ZERO!

It takes monk-like patience and nerves of diamond-plated steel to consciously hold volatile assets like Bitcoin over a 15 year period. 

Lemme put it into greater context for you…

Right now, Bitcoin News is lauding people for buying/holding Bitcoin over a 5 year period, netting a 1,547% gain. 👇

Here’re the 5-year chunks of gains Laszlo would had to have held through over time (starting from May 22, 2010):

• A 5.8 MILLION percent increase, from $0.0041 to $239 between 2010 and 2015

• A 3,720 percent increase from $239 to $9,131 between 2015 and 2020

• A 1,121 percent increase from $9,131 to $111,500 between 2020 and today

That’s a 2.7 BILLION percent increase (← not a typo) over the full 15 years!

No one's holding through that unless they’re dead, dumb, or completely incapacitated.

Now, here’s the lesson to take from this:

If you want to build wealth quickly, you need to be smart.

Sadly, this rules out the Tylers and Rauls of the world (our GM & social media intern).

But if you’re ok waiting 5, 10, 15 years or more – you can be dumb as a doorknob and still build significant wealth by allocating to fundamentally strong assets.

You just need to be patient.

THREE BIG ‘OH SH*T!’ MOMENTS FROM OUR CHAT W/ ARTHUR HAYES 🤯

We recently sat down with Arthur Hayes, a legend in the Bitcoin community, on The Milk Road Show – and man did he deliver! 

Here are three big ‘Oh sh*t!’ moments from our conversation:

1/ Follow the Treasury (not just Jerome Powell)

Everyone is focused on J-Powell and the Fed, waiting to see if/when they’ll cut rates – but apparently Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, has been quietly enacting Treasury buybacks to keep debt markets functioning.

Translation: everyone is waiting for the Fed to come to the rescue, but the Treasury has already started to do so (just without telling anyone).

2/ Tariffs aren’t the protectionist policy Arthur is worried about

What could REALLY scare investor dollars out of the US market are capital controls – like a ‘foreign investors tax’.

Silver lining (to a very dark cloud): if that were to happen, the US would likely need to print money to prop up the economy – and money printing tends to pump Bitcoin’s price.

3/ Bitcoin price targets

Everyone is saying there’s potential for us to see a $150k–$200k $BTC by the end of the year…

Arthur thinks it could happen by the end of JULY!

The crazy part? All of this is just scratching the surface!

PRO “WHERE ARE WE IN THE CYCLE?” INDICATORS 🤔 

Bitcoin hit new all-time highs AGAIN this morning!

So now the question becomes: where to from here? 

To help answer that – let’s check in with the cycle indicators, ‘cause knowing where we are in the crypto cycle is crucial for capturing the best opportunities.

Since timing the top perfectly is almost impossible, we use various indicators to give us a better shot at taking profits before it's too late.

Below are the 6 indicators we track, with a color-coded system to show how close they are to signalling the market peak:

🟢 Plenty of room to run 🏄

Every Thursday, we update these 6 indicators exclusively for PRO members.

Our advice? Don't wait for all of them to hit 🔴. It's better to take profits as they get closer to that point.

Let's dive in and see if we're anywhere near the top of this bull market. 👇
