2025 The Year of Distractions

I love seeing institutional adoption and growing balance sheet exposure to Bitcoin but it comes with a caveat. Adoption does not mean alignment and scale does not remove human incentives or manipulation.

Instead of keeping it simple and stacking harder many chased the next product structure or promise of yield. In reality most of these were just familiar systems wearing a Bitcoin label still human controlled still manipulable and still a form of gambling.

Bitcoin does not need optimization leverage or intermediaries. It rewards patience discipline and time not cleverness.

A simpler path existed fewer decisions less stress and more focus on what actually matters. Stack secure and step away from the noise.

I hope from January 2025 until now you chose simplicity over complexity and conviction over speculation.

Happy New Year. Wishing everyone a grounded sovereign and truly Bitcoinful 2026!
