Bitcoin Retirement or Bitcoin FIRE
Retirement is not a Bitcoin number.
It is the ability to live without being forced to sell Bitcoin at the wrong time.
To get there:
1. Know your annual burn.
If you don’t know what your life costs, every BTC target is guesswork.
2. Build runway first.
Hold enough non-Bitcoin support to survive bad years without selling BTC.
3. Lower future costs where possible.
Housing, energy, food, and community reduce the capital you need to stay free.
4. Use Bitcoin deliberately.
Hold as a reserve.
Borrow only at low leverage.
Sell only when structure is in place.
5. Buy the Citadel when three things are true:
runway remains intact
the commitment lowers your future burn
a deep drawdown would not force selling
If you’re waiting for a perfect price or a perfect cycle, you’re waiting for permission that will never arrive.
