Given everything going on in the global economy, we began accumulating #Bitcoin starting in March and holding it as a reserve asset on our balance sheet. My latest article explains the full reasoning behind this decision. Feedback is welcome :)

It's a lot easier to stomach massive #bitcoin dips when: - You hold your own keys - You haven't taken on leverage - You have a multi-year time horizon - You don't mess around with shitcoins - You've been through this before - You believe in the underlying value prop

The #Bitcoin network is a beautiful thing. Due to the recent drop in hash rate, difficulty is estimated to adjust downward by ~23%. In the meantime, fees have increased to compensate miners. All of this is programmatic without the need for a private "cryptocurrency board."

Mindset is something that can evolve over time. Hitting $10k MRR gave me the confidence that we could hit $1M ARR at some point. Once we passed $1M, it gave me confidence that we could hit $5M. However, I never would have thought $5M was possible when we just started.
