TD₿: Why Bitcoin Needs Price Crashes Before It Soars! - (a Swan Signal Live video segment) with Brady Swenson, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: Bitcoin’s volatility enables massive long-term gains. Weak hands sell; smart money accumulates. If you fear volatility, you’re missing the big picture.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, we debunk why Bitcoin’s volatility isn’t a real concern, but actually is essential for long-term gains and market movement. MicroStrategy strategically uses Bitcoin’s price swings to attract investors, while Bitcoin itself remains volatile due to its emerging monetary status.
Volatility plays a key role in driving market momentum, breaking stagnation, and attracting new capital. Price dips flush out weak holders, transferring Bitcoin to long-term investors and establishing a stronger price floor.
Managing volatility requires financial discipline. Keeping an emergency fund in fiat prevents forced Bitcoin sales during unexpected expenses like taxes or home repairs. Avoiding excessive leverage is also crucial, as financial crises can force investors to sell at the bottom.
Ultimately, volatility is the cost of long-term gains. Smart investors embrace it, while weak hands panic and sell. The key is to stay prepared, manage risk, and continue stacking Bitcoin for the future.

Quote of the Day
“We don't have to have this big giant massive collapse. It just organically blows up, one-by-one, as people move to a harder, sounder money. And in the process, Bitcoin becomes a black hole on the world's balance sheet.”
