I started stacking Bitcoin ~5 years ago. Too bad I didn’t start earlier but in my defense, I was too busy living my carefree teenage life, blissfully unaware of how the fiat system or inflation actually worked.
At first, I bought through exchanges, paying with my bank account. Back then, I also had some ā€œtraditionalā€ investments: mostly super safeā„¢ BlackRock funds my advisor had sold me with great enthusiasm.
A few months after my first Coinbase purchases, my advisor calls me:
ā€œWe’ve noticed you made some transactions to buy Bitcoin. It’s my duty to inform you those are all scams.ā€
Aside from the mild horror of realizing they monitor everything we buy with our own money, that was the moment I started to realize I wanted as little to do with banks as possible.
Fast forward three years.
I closed my BlackRock investment, down about 10% after 3 years šŸ’©. Had to talk to my advisor again, so I said:
ā€œGood thing my Bitcoin gains more than made up for the dumpster fire you sold me.ā€
He didn’t laugh. I did. In sats. šŸ˜Ž
Diversification is mostly a fiat scam:
why dilute pure water with radioactive swamp juice, mud punch, expired pool water, sewer water, or that weird glowing water in the corner of the fridge?
