Today& #39;s conversation between @APompliano and @DTAPCAP convinced me to hold my bitcoin for 10+ years.

I was planning on selling in this bull market, but their podcast changed my view in a couple of ways.

Mainly, Dan made me realize how far we are from mass adoption. (1/8)
Let& #39;s start with institutions.

We all saw famous investors like Paul Tudor Jones and Stan Druckenmiller speak highly about Bitcoin over the past few months.

But as @DTAPCAP points out, these are the elite 0.1% of investors — they& #39;re leaps ahead of everyone else (2/8)
In fact, even @RayDalio doesn& #39;t quite understand the importance of Bitcoin.

If">https://twitter.com/RayDalio/... Ray Dalio doesn& #39;t understand Bitcoin, you can bet that the vast majority of pension funds, endowments, and hedge funds aren& #39;t taking it seriously (3/8)
In addition, even if these institutions wanted to buy Bitcoin, they couldn& #39;t — it& #39;s still way too small.

If Blackrock allocated 5% of their AUM to Bitcoin, their investment would exceed Bitcoin& #39;s entire market cap (4/8)
These institutions are so far behind that most of them don& #39;t even have Gold on their balance sheets.

Suffice it to say — mass institutional adoption of Bitcoin is very far away.

So why is this so important? Why not sell a bit now and take some profits? (5/8)
To answer that question, we just have to look at technological adoption curves.

Adoption speeds up with each new technology, but it still happens "gradually then suddenly" (6/8)
Take a look at Amazon:

From 1997 - 1999, Amazon& #39;s share price increased almost 40x.

But if you zoom out over 20 years, it feels like a blip. (7/8)
Adoption of new technology takes longer than we expect.

Bitcoin is the greatest invention in the history of money, but it& #39;s going to take institutions 10+ years to figure that out.

You can sell in 1 yr and make 10x.

Or you can be patient and make 1000x. Your choice. (8/8)
