1.) EVERYONE’S A SCAMMER

2.) HODL. DON’T TRADE.

The art of the hodl is easy, once you know why you hodl.

In a world where insane kleptocrats make “money printer go brrr” ad infinitum a hard capped asset that is verifiably scarce is invaluable.

Sell bitcoins at your peril. You’ll never get em back.
3.) CAN’T HODL SHITCOIN

I know. I know. Your shitcoins different. Gonna change the world. Faster. Moar better moar decentralized. Issa going to $589 Blah blah blah.

Hate to break it to you chief, it ain’t.

Say it with me now ...
4.) DOLLAR COST AVG

I’ll assume you’re an avg person that doesn’t have money just lying around. (If u do GO BALLS DEEP what you gonna do hold dollars? Lol)

Buy a certain amount every day, week, or month, etc, religiously. Remember your Bitcoin ABCs.

Always Buy Consistently.
5.) EXCHANGES ARE NOT WALLETS

You should never leave your bitcoins on an exchange for long term storage. Tbh you should self custody your bitcoins ASAP. The sooner you hold those private keys the better. (You do know what a private key is right? Google if not.)

Don’t get Gox’d
6.) RUN A FULL NODE

How do you know the bitcoins you just bought are real bitcoins and not fakecoin?

Your node verified that the coins you received are playing by the rules and able to trace every transaction back to the genesis block.

No node, ur trustn u own bitcoin. Verify
7.) IGNORE THE PRICE

We’re all here to see NUMBER GO UP but don’t fixate on the price. Zoom out. In time, price dips will be seen as an opportunity and price rises, bitter sweet.

The only number you should focus on is how many sats are under your control. Hodl for dear life.
8.) KEEP LEARNING

Whether its studying Austrian economics or learning to code or a deep dive under the bitcoin hood, you’ll never stop learning. Bitcoin is multi disciplined and forever changing.

There’s always something to learn. Never stop learning. Bitcoin is a way of life.
9.) ENJOY YOURSELF

What’s the point of FUCK YOU MONEY if you don’t say fuck you from time to time.

Be brave. Be bold. Be a Bitcoiner.

Speak your mind, say the crazy thing. If ppl don’t like it fuck em. I ain’t for everyone. But I don’t have to care.

Can’t cancel me bitch.
