Here&#39;s an excerpt:&#xA;&#xA;&#34;Perhaps I should have learned my lesson about what happens to the men who stare at charts by November 2022. But for better or worse, I couldn’t help but look at where we were in the cycle and think that we must be near the bottom of the bear market. While I couldn’t predict whether we might fall another 10-50%, I held an unwavering belief that we’d likely be higher within a year.&#xA;&#xA;Part of this conviction came from the incredible amount of development I was witnessing in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Despite the bearish sentiment and the silence of once-vocal Bitcoin Twitter accounts, the progress being made was undeniable. Teams were tackling Bitcoin custody, building out Layer 2 solutions, and publishing research papers on mining innovations like methane mitigation and district heating. These advancements highlighted Bitcoin’s world-changing potential and only reinforced my confidence.&#xA;&#xA;As my conviction grew, so did my frustration with the limitations of my current stacking rate. Despite stacking sats at the cheapest prices I&#39;d seen since adopting Bitcoin, I felt a deepening sense of FOMO. No matter how much I reduced my expenses to redirect income to buying bitcoin, the pace of accumulation felt agonizingly slow in comparison to the opportunity I believed was slipping away. The belief that my dollars would soon buy fewer sats drove me to explore ways to accelerate my accumulation. It was a question of timing, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to act.&#34;</html></oembed>
