THE WORLD’S DUMBEST/MOST EFFECTIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGY: PATIENCE 🧘♂️
Everyone is talking about Bitcoin Pizza Day…
But they’re conveniently leaving one MASSIVE point out of the conversation.
‘Cause sure – on paper, it’s a crazy story. 👇
Not only that, but Laszlo spent nearly 100,000 $BTC on other items as well (that’s equivalent to $8.6B+ today)!
But here’s what everyone is glossing over…
Whether or not that 10,000 $BTC was spent on pizza back in 2010 – it doesn’t change this:
The chances that Laszlo would have held from 2010 to today are NEAR ZERO!
It takes monk-like patience and nerves of diamond-plated steel to consciously hold volatile assets like Bitcoin over a 15 year period.
Lemme put it into greater context for you…
Right now, Bitcoin News is lauding people for buying/holding Bitcoin over a 5 year period, netting a 1,547% gain. 👇
Here’re the 5-year chunks of gains Laszlo would had to have held through over time (starting from May 22, 2010):
- A 5.8 MILLION percent increase, from $0.0041 to $239 between 2010 and 2015
- A 3,720 percent increase from $239 to $9,131 between 2015 and 2020
- A 1,121 percent increase from $9,131 to $111,500 between 2020 and today
That’s a 2.7 BILLION percent increase (← not a typo) over the full 15 years!
No one's holding through that unless they’re dead, dumb, or completely incapacitated.
Now, here’s the lesson to take from this:
If you want to build wealth quickly, you need to be smart.
Sadly, this rules out the Tylers and Rauls of the world (our GM & social media intern).
But if you’re ok waiting 5, 10, 15 years or more – you can be dumb as a doorknob and still build significant wealth by allocating to fundamentally strong assets.
You just need to be patient.

THREE BIG ‘OH SH*T!’ MOMENTS FROM OUR CHAT W/ ARTHUR HAYES 🤯
We recently sat down with Arthur Hayes, a legend in the Bitcoin community, on The Milk Road Show – and man did he deliver!
Here are three big ‘Oh sh*t!’ moments from our conversation:
1/ Follow the Treasury (not just Jerome Powell)
Everyone is focused on J-Powell and the Fed, waiting to see if/when they’ll cut rates – but apparently Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, has been quietly enacting Treasury buybacks to keep debt markets functioning.
Translation: everyone is waiting for the Fed to come to the rescue, but the Treasury has already started to do so (just without telling anyone).
2/ Tariffs aren’t the protectionist policy Arthur is worried about
What could REALLY scare investor dollars out of the US market are capital controls – like a ‘foreign investors tax’.
Silver lining (to a very dark cloud): if that were to happen, the US would likely need to print money to prop up the economy – and money printing tends to pump Bitcoin’s price.
3/ Bitcoin price targets
Everyone is saying there’s potential for us to see a $150k–$200k $BTC by the end of the year…
Arthur thinks it could happen by the end of JULY!
The crazy part? All of this is just scratching the surface!
