I went from shrugging off Bitcoin in 2010, to buying at the 2020 bottom, to building generational wealth. But Bitcoin didn’t just change my portfolio, it changed how I see the world. I’m Real Rose. Founder of Wealth Lab Club, Certified Bitcoin Professional, and a student of this market since 2020. After 18+ years managing commercial real estate assets, I learned one hard truth: the traditional system is rigged against regular people. Bitcoin showed me a better way. This account is where I share the real lessons I’ve learned in patience, process, and wealth engineering. Welcome to the journey. 🐊

The Fed held rates and stayed hawkish, and Bitcoin barely reacted. It’s currently sitting around $81.2k, basically flat on the day. The market already expected the tone, so a hold that didn’t break anything is just a hold. What’s more useful is where price is sitting right now. Bitcoin tagged $87k earlier this month, cooled off to the low $80ks, and is now hanging right around the average spot ETF buyer’s cost. That’s usually the area where the bigger money steps in, not where it tends to bail. I personally believe $87k is still the real wall. A lot of buyers from the last couple of years break even there. Once that supply clears, the path higher gets a lot cleaner. Retail is still skeptical, and that’s fine. When most people are doubtful and price is holding the levels that matter, that’s usually better than the opposite. I’m still buying Bitcoin and the quality alts that stay bullish on the weekly. The Fed being hawkish doesn’t change that. The market already priced it in and closed green. Have a nice day!

Despite the market being down, all indicators are still bullish for Bitcoin as long as it says above $76k to $77k. This also means it’s a great time to accumulate alts that are bullish on the weekly alt/USD pairs as well as Alt/BTC pairs. I continue to dca into Bitcoin and Solana. I picked up hedera-hashgraph:native, $PENGU, and $SUI at the lows yesterday and they are up today. I’m also looking to re-enter $GRASS if it goes back to 0.60 cents. The market will continue to have ups and downs. But, with our Croc strategy, we are in a great position. Stay positive and in the market. We are still very early in the cycle. I continue to believe that this bull run will be glorious!

GM Traders! Bitcoin logged its third consecutive red weekly close after sweeping the prior low down to $79,209 and closing weakly at $80,154. This is setting up a pivotal week where price either prints a liquidity wick toward $77,000 before bouncing, or breaks $77,000 to confirm a macro bear phase below the 50-Week SMA.

GM, everyone. As you may already know the market is dumping. We’ve been issuing warnings in our newsletters for over 2 weeks. I sold all my medium and small cap alts that are bearish due to macro headwinds. At the sametime, I continue to accumulate BTC to lower my cost basis. I will also start buying alts again once BTC starts pumping again. The goal is to protect capital as alts catch a cold when BTC sneezes. Stay patient, manage your risk, and keep your emotions in check. The best buying opportunities are born in these red weeks. Stay strong and be robotic!

Pivot to Bitcoin.

The protest in France continues. President Macron was in his twenties when a hundred euros bought what it bought in 2000. Meloni of Italy was in her 20s too. So was Sanchez of Spain, and Montenegro of Portugal. All these countries have one thing in common, the ever rising cost of living. €100 today can buy significantly less than what €100 could buy in 2000. A hundred euros then is closer to €160–180 now, depending on the country. The people in the streets of France are the same age those leaders were then. All they’re saying is that the deal their parents got doesn’t exist for them. Whether your political inclination is left, right, center, it doesn’t matter. The rent and the grocery prices are the same for everyone. That's the reason why more people are looking at Bitcoin. Not as something that fixes the system, but as the one asset whose supply no government can quietly expand to cover its bills. 100 years from now, there will still only ever be 21 million total Bitcoins. For people watching their money get printed away in real time, that scarcity is the appeal. A much needed hedge against inflation, not a guarantee, but a genuine safety net to fall back on for when FIAT fails you.

Total Wealth of Bottom 50% of US Households 1989: $317.8 billion 2026: $313 billion Total Wealth of Top 0.00001% (only 20 families) 1989: $88.6 billion 2026: $4 trillion The people at the top own the things that go up when money is easy to create. Stocks, Businesses, Hard assets. The bottom half mostly has cash and debts. Cash doesn’t keep up with inflation. Even though Bitcoin doesn’t automatically close the gap, It does give regular people something the top already uses, an asset nobody can print more of when the next bill comes due. You don’t need to be one of the 20. You just need to stop leaving everything in the thing that’s been losing ground for decades.

Tomorrow. We’re looking at why the ALT/BTC pair matters more than just the dollar chart. An alt can look strong in USD and be ridiculously weak when compared to BTC. This week we break down what the BTC pair shows you, and how to use it. 6PM Lagos • 1PM New York Be there. xitter.cf/i/spaces/1pJdRDEeNEYKW…

Gm Traders, Today is September CPI Day (8:30 AM NY / 13:30 WAT), and while headline inflation is expected to tick higher on energy prices, core CPI (expected near 0.2% MoM) will dictate how Treasury yields and risk assets react. We expect two-sided volatility and initial fake out wicks before the market settles into its true higher-timeframe path. realerose.substack.com/p/bit…

People still don’t seem to understand that we’re in a bull. If you’re waiting for every red day to be the end, you’re going to be waiting a long time. Onwards!

Gm Everyone, Two weeks ago I laid out my 10 AI agent picks for the bull run. The AI Agents narrative is of vital importance to the performance of these coins. And, we are likely to see influencers and analysts shill AI Agents at some point in the bull run. My AI Agents picks are designed to help you position yourself before the coins pump. We provide entries, take profits, and more. It is free and you can take advantage of the analysis to pick one or two coins from the portfolio that will most likely outperform Bitcoin. Make sure to do your own research and ask questions before aping into a project. I’m currently holding $GRASS. I’ll keep you all updated when I add more.

I heard people say yesterday that the market was being manipulated. No doubt that’s true. But I also want to give another reason price pulls back after a big move up. During a big rally, drawdowns naturally happen. That’s just how the markets works. Late buyers FOMO in near the top on too much leverage. Their stop losses and liquidation prices sit clustered just under the market. Therefore price has to pull back and flush that out before it can go higher again. A bull market never moves straight up out of a bear market without these leverage resets. If we understand that, we don’t panic sell the dumps. These sharp pullbacks are not trend reversals. They’re resets. They clear the way for the next move up. I also said yesterday in my newsletter that I don’t believe Bitcoin falls below the 50-week SMA. That’s the bull market support band, around $78k. This doesn’t mean it CAN’T happen. But if it does, I will sell all the alts I bought since Bitcoin flipped bullish on the weekly. That’s me protecting the capital I have left. If $78k breaks, the next lines of support are $74k and $68k. I don’t expect Bitcoin to go there though as It has only ever happened twice in history: The 2019–2020 cycle, with the Covid flash crash. And the 2021 mid-cycle correction, after China banned Bitcoin mining.
