October has earned my respect.

Across 14 completed years, Bitcoin’s October ranks:

#1 by median return: +12.8%
#2 by average return: +17.7%
Positive in 10 of 14 years.

And this time Bitcoin enters October with the breakout still intact and the 20-day trend rising underneath it.

History does not owe us another strong October.

But when seasonality and structure point in the same direction, I pay attention.

Issue #029 — THE PRICE HOLDS. THE STAKES RISE.

This year, my 60th year on Earth, has been a period of substantial loss for me.

1) I loss my mother, my last living parent, to heart failure. She was my best friend, a life-long advisor and my biggest fan.

2) I lost $1.25 million in the Cold Card Bitcoin hack and...

3) I loss 35 pounds and a ton of body fat in the process.

This is not my normal post, but I did want to give a few public shoutouts to a few Bitcoiners who have inspired me in ways they likley don't even know this year:

@Chrissssjohnson for introducing me to the miracle of Retatrutide via his posts and motivating me to continue to stacking btc harder than ever.

@itscoachgoodman a fellow Cold Card hack victim who has demonstrated grace and dignity under extreme loss and a continued dedication to a healthy family and workout life.

Lastly, a big thank you to @btcbytz for strength training me every single week for the past 1.5 years. Grueling but rewarding.

OK. Done. Now, tell me how gay I am on a scale of 1 to 10 for making a post without a shirt. 🙃

I'm proud to be part of the Bitcoin Five.

Is this the new Bitcoin trend now, going shirtless? Some of my favorite Bitcoiners have lost their shirts.

Don't make me do it guys. Please. 😂

Who really owns what you own?

If a bank, broker, custodian or government still has to perform before you can use it, that question gets more interesting.

Bitcoin changed how I think about ownership, trust and sovereignty.
