The other day someone asked me a question that I thought was brilliant in its simplicity:

“Why do you talk so much about Bitcoin if it’s only x% of your portfolio?”

Another one was more blunt:

“If you believe in BTC so much, why don’t you have ALL your wealth in it?”

I thought those questions were gold. Because behind them lies an uncomfortable truth:

what makes the most noise in your head isn’t always what weighs most in your portfolio.

The Asymmetric Portfolio isn’t designed to make you rich tomorrow. It’s built so you can sleep peacefully for the next 30 years.

That’s why Bitcoin is just x%.

And that’s also why I talk about it so much. And if you still think it’s just hype, read this.

Because in a world printing money like it’s free, having even x% in the one thing that can’t be printed… can change your destiny.

And yet, there’s a barrier no one has truly solved.

A barrier that can’t be broken with faith, conviction, or HODLing.

It’s broken with structure.

The question isn’t whether Bitcoin is the best asset of the decade. That’s already settled.

The real question is: how the hell do you live off Bitcoin without selling it? here’s how I solved that liquidity puzzle before

And here’s the problem.

If you want to buy groceries today using BTC, the process is as ridiculous as this:

  1. Sell part of your stack.

  2. Send it to an exchange.

  3. From the exchange, to your bank.

  4. Justify the origin.

  5. Get treated like Pablo Escobar.

And if instead of BTC you hold MicroStrategy, the wrapper changes but the logic doesn’t.

You still have to sell.

And selling, my friend, is amputation.

Selling is killing the goose to eat an omelet.
