the government shutdown delayed the bull run to December or 2026.  since the bull run did not happen in 2025, it will likely happen in 2026 instead.

after losing money, I learned there is no such thing as get rich quick.  wealth takes years to build.  patience is the greatest skill of all.  no matter how smart you are, impatient will always lose money.

"if you can't hold a stock for 10 years, dont bother holding it for 10 minutes."  I will take my bitcoin to the grave and pass it on to my children to build generational wealth.

I've made tons of profit shorting.  but you must be careful not to get liquidated.  keep lots of extra cash and maintain healthy margin requirements to prevent liquidation. speaking of which tiger brokers charges around 100% interest on shorts, but they dont even tell us the exact interest rate, it should be clearly shown before shorting.

strategic bitcoin reserve confirmed bitcoin as the future world reserve currency.  was the most important moment for crypto.   marking the end of fiat. 

There has never been a bull market this bad in all of bitcoin history.   It's way oversold and bearish sentiment is baseless. Fundamentals are better than ever.  Most likely a bad actor is mass shorting the bitcoin, manipulating the price.

$ProShares UltraPro Short S&P 500(SPXU)$   is an inverse short SP500 ETF for shorting the SP500.

Only 60%? Thats nothing. Bitcoin averages 65% a year for 16 years in a row.  If bitcoin only did 60% that would be a lousy year.  Bitcoin can do 100% a year easy. Gold only looks good in the short term.  Look at the 16 year chart.  Bitcoin has gone up more than 1,000,000%.  Gold could never do a million percent gain, even you hold gold for a century you won't catch up to bitcoin 16 year return.    Bitcoin is the highest performing asset of the past 16 years. It's not even close.  Gold isnt even in the top 10.  

China should require that rare earth metals be bought using the yuan. No dollars allowed.
