Bitcoin Up 161% Since 2020, Here's How to Win in the Next Bull Cycle

Earlier today, Michael Saylor posted the above chart talking about Bitcoin's price performance since August 10th, 2020 when Microstrategy adopted BTC as their treasury reserve asset.

Microstrategy decided to keep BTC on their balance sheet for their cash reserves instead of actual USD Cash. This move shocked the industry and was something that many of us talked about for years. We all knew that one day, a company would be smart enough to start using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

If you knew on August 10th, 2020 that 3 years later, Bitcoin would trade for 161% more than it was, would you have put your entire life savings into it?

The answer is (most likely) a resounding yes. I mean, if you could travel back in time and know for sure that something was going to be more valuable and you also knew exactly when and how much more valuable it would be, it would be a no brainer.

A Random Walk Down (Wall Street)

A random walk down wall street discusses the idea that markets are completely random. Nobody truly knows what is going to happen next. Afterall, if someone did, they would be a trillionaire and able to print unlimited capital by profiting consistently and predictably.

The thing about Bitcoin and about any market or investment is that we don't know what will happen next.

We make investments and we have a thesis. Then we are forced to wait as the market plays out our thesis.

If we are right and do the right things, we make money.

If we are wrong and/or do the wrong things, we lose money.

That's the game of investing. One of the things I love most about it is that there is a global scoreboard. It's easy to tell who is and isn't good at investing because you have a literal score keeping method in the form of money.

How to Win in the Next Bull Cycle

We've begun an incredible run in the price of BTC. This has a lot of people excited. We're not quite near all-time highs of ~$60k quite just yet, but people seem to believe that the bull market is upon us and it's only a matter of time until we reach the coveted ATHs that are so promised.

Despite all of the short-term price action, an investor needs to be ultra-wise and ultra-disciplined in the current market.

It's easy to buy when it's at lows.

It's easy to sell when it's at highs.

But what the hell do you do when it's at "mediums"?

Not too long ago, BTC was at $15k.

Not too long ago, BTC was at $60k.

Now it's at $30k. At $30k, the game gets interesting as it feels like a proverbial coin flip as to whether the price of BTC will start creeping higher or will drop back down and test the lows.

If you believe in Bitcoin and the long-term prospect of the market cap, use case and adoption growing, then it's easy to say that it will be higher in the next few years.

But that being said, why is it so hard to buy right now?

To Determine Whether to Buy, Search Within Yourself

I've talked to a lot of people who want to get more exposure to crypto. They want to earn more and everyone loves the idea of making money.

That being said, they don't have a clue if they should buy BTC or not.

Let me ask you this - go back to our initial question. If you knew on August 10th, 2020 that Bitcoin would be 161% more valuable 3 years later, would you have bought more Bitcoin?

Now let me ask you, do you believe Bitcoin will be greater or less than $30k in 3 more years? July 5th, 2026.

And if you zoom out further, do you believe BTC will be more or less than $30k in 10 years? July 5th, 2033?

When you zoom out, a clearer picture presents itself.

I think you know how I am acting in this current market. Put a 10 year lens on it and the world becomes clear.
