Bottom line: As I type Bitcoin is trading at $25,677.31 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin gained $720.28; Week over week it's down $82.79 - basically no movement once again. We continue to trade in a very tight range.
My belief continues to be that no matter what happens I will be okay. Which means, have enough at play to move the needle if the market pops, have some dry powder if it drops, and remain calm and move on if it goes sideways. Keep buying the dip, be smart, stay safe, stack sats, and HODL as "Matty Sats" would say!
