You ever stop and think about what it actually means to be a Bitcoiner right now? On the brink of this Q4 bull run, with the world pretending it never saw you when you were warning about the money printer, getting laughed at for quoting Hayek in group chats, getting blocked by friends for posting Ron Paul 2012 memes... ...getting called a cultist for dollar-cost averaging through every single “China ban” and “Bitcoin is dead” headline? You know what it means to skip happy hour for the fifth week in a row because you’d rather stack sats than drink $13 cocktails poured by some finance major who thinks CPI is real and the Fed is their dad.

You’ve had your moments of despair, but then you see a little orange candle on a night when the world feels like it’s ending, and something deep inside you lights up... ...the same fire that burned in Mises, in Ron Paul, in Satoshi. Now, as all-time highs break and the fiat system stumbles, you realize you are part of something bigger. You aren’t just “up in USD”. You’re free. Spiritually untouchable.
