Key Insight

This week's key insight is written by Felipe Muñoz.

This week serves as a perfect reminder not to lose sight of what's important, especially when headlines focus on bitcoin's price decline and the record day of $1 billion in ETF outflows.

What are the institutions' intentions in selling? It's hard to tell—perhaps even impossible. As someone who has immersed myself in philosophical literature since age 18, one recurring lesson stands out during these times:

Care only about that which you can control.

No one can stop institutions, corporations, businesses, or nation-states from buying or selling bitcoin. Who else can’t be stopped?

You, of course.

The bitcoin anyone buys and stores securely in a cold wallet are bitcoin no one can steal or copy. In dollar terms, those bitcoins might fluctuate in value. But as long as we measure bitcoin in an inflationary currency, those metrics will only ever be quasi-denominators.

Like a one-of-a-kind Picasso or Van Gogh, every bitcoin stands out as distinctive and immutable. Rooted in physics and mathematics and protected by its owner, it maintains its core properties.

Satoshi's Per US Dollar: 1166
