You're treating Bitcoin like a trade. But the wealthy treat it like Manhattan real estate in 1950. Here's what most people do: Buy Bitcoin → Price goes up → Sell for profit → Pay taxes → Repeat You just gave 20-40% to the government and reset your position to zero. Meanwhile, generational wealth is built differently. They never sell. Ever. Think about it: Does Bezos sell Amazon stock to buy groceries? Do real estate dynasties sell their buildings? No. They borrow against them. Bitcoin is the first truly scarce digital asset. Fixed supply. Global liquidity. No dilution. It's not currency. It's not "digital gold" for trading in and out of. It's the asset you accumulate and never sell. Here's the strategy the top 1% already understand: Acquire Bitcoin. Hold it for years. When you need liquidity, borrow against it. Live off the credit. Let the asset appreciate. Pass it on. You keep the upside. You avoid the tax hit. You maintain your position. Selling is a taxable event. Borrowing isn't. The moment you sell, you're working backwards. You're exiting the most scarce asset for a depreciating currency. The game isn't "when do I cash out?" The game is "how do I never leave?" Every time you convert Bitcoin to fiat, you're not taking profit. You're trading the exit for the cage. Stop measuring success in dollars. Fiat isn't the exit. Bitcoin is.
