The ticker is

Pick any top 1 or 2 BTC treasury stock by market cap on your stock market

And enjoy the up only

U welcome

Mfckers be like « crypto PA so boring bros »

Without realizing that BTC treasury stocks are the new alts and are flying 10-100x in a matter of weeks

Smh

Unpopular opinion:

The time has come to stop messing with shitcoins

And to join me in the BTC Treasury stocks heaven

There is just no going back

Crypto bros celebrating that some publicly listed companies are buying their token

Yes your token might go up as a result

But the shares of those companies are going way more up

So you better buy the shares than the token if you are really trying to make money

Bitcoin treasury companies are the new ICOs

But you wouldn’t blv it

It took me months to 10X my position on $SOL

It took my weeks to 10x my position on $HYPE

It took me days to 10x my position in BTC treasury companies (@CoinsiliumGroup / $COIN)

Lesson in there

Gm ☀️

If you are complaining about crypto prices going down, you are in the wrong game

BTC treasury stocks are where it’s all happening right now

Multiple 50-100% up days in a row

Absolute madness

But you wouldnt blv it

I am honored and thrilled to announce that @BitwiseInvest , one of the most credible companies in the crypto industry, is now an official When Shift Happens Sponsor!

It all started when I invited @HHorsley , the CoFounder and CEO of Bitwise, on the pod last year in August and I welcomed him with a warm coffee that made all the difference

Unsure why, (his love language might be "acts of services"?) but that coffee - together with an amazing conversation on the podcast - started something really special: a friendship with one of the most respected founders in the space - that has now gone to the next level with a Sponsorship that features as a sponsor Bitwise of WSH while making the WSH brand look even more credible

A beautiful Win - Win!

To the whole Bitwise team, thank you for your trust and your support, and for being the good Stewards of the crypto space for more than 7 years now!

We talk about:

- Why centralisation drives companies to become evil
- Why Sui is the best blockchain out there
- Why Ethereum doesn’t work and is not decentralised
- How SUI is the AWS of the decentralised future
- What it means to be a developer at heart, but becoming a CEO
- Why Evan left a comfortable, cushy job in big tech to try and build something that's really hard
