11/12 Right now, at this moment, it’s time to decide how you are going to play the rest of this cycle. - How much are you going to allocate to Bitcoin? - What are you going to do w/ the bags you’ve been hodling since last cycle? - How much are you willing to risk on emerging narratives? - Where will that new capital come from? - How much time can you afford to spend glued to your screen, staring at charts & stumbling down crypto rabbit holes?
