I have more money in Bitcoin then I’ve ever had in USD.

Which isn’t a lot, I’m 15 and always spend money as soon as I get it.

Feels good, as of today I’ve essentially doubled what I first put into Bitcoin.

I essentially put in all my birthday money, then have been DCAing (not sure if that’s the right term but oh well) part of my allowance since then.

From your friendly neighborhood 15 year old that’s obsessed with Bitcoin, have fun HODLing.

Don’t take advice from my dad...

So, the first time I learned about Bitcoin was around in 2011 or 2012. The end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar was nearing and I wanted to invest in something as a hedge against bank issues (silly, I know, but led me to Bitcoin). It was a video or article by Max Keiser that convinced me.

I was NOT wealthy, but had $1,000 and wanted to buy 100 bitcoin. Yet, alas, my dad told me I was a fool and talked me out of it. (my ex husband agreed with him).

I was mad when it went to $19k in 2017. I thought I missed the boat and I forgot about it, especially since I was on the precipice of getting divorced.

When it crashed to $5k earlier this year, I went on Reddit and you all convinced me to buy. I did, a full Bitcoin.

When it went to $20k again after the election, my dad, again, scared me into selling. I did.

When it went to $23k I was upset, but my dad assured me it would “crash.” It didn’t. I wanted to buy, but didn’t.

When it went to $27k I was upset, but again, my dad assured me it would “crash,” but it didn’t. I wanted to buy, but didn’t.

When it went to $30k I was like, fuck it, I’m taking the loss and buy back in. I don’t have a full bitcoin, but I have a chunk.

Moral of the story, fuck my dad’s advice. He may know stocks, but doesn’t know jack shit about crypto.

I learned my lesson the hard way.

HODL, bitches.

This is what happens when publicly traded companies convert their corporate treasury reserves to #Bitcoin. $MSTR has laid out the template for the rest of Wall Street to copy. 2021 could be the institutional equivalent of the 2017 bull run.

How The Banks Bought Bitcoin

Just thought I'd upload some very important info from this subreddit that I had seen in the past on here, now that I have been starting to pay more attention to the scene recently.

The bankers are very much involved in bitcoin.

The sooner we get this out, the sooner ppl will start to realize that Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin that Satoshi intended.

Bilderberg Group - Chairman of the Steering Committee: Henri de Castries (since 2012)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group#Criticism

Partly because of its working methods to ensure strict privacy, the Bilderberg Group has been criticised for its lack of transparency and accountability.

Due to its privacy, Bilderberg has been accused of conspiracies.

This outlook has been popular on both extremes of the political spectrum, even if they disagree about the exact nature of the group's intentions.

Some on the left accuse the Bilderberg group of conspiring to impose capitalist domination, while some on the right have accused the group of conspiring to impose a world government and planned economy.

Henri de Castries might just be the most powerful man in the world. He is chief executive and chairman of one of the world’s biggest insurers, Axa, and a member of France’s illustrious noble house of Castries. But De Castries is also chairman of the Bilderberg group, a collection of political and business leaders from Europe and North America that meets in private every year to debate “megatrends and major issues facing the world” – or which is secretly running the world if you are a conspiracy theorist.

Blockstream is funded by the bankers that bitcoin was born to defeat.
