Summary 🚀

Bitcoin Acquisition Syndrome (B.A.S.) is the glorious, full-throttle compulsion to accumulate BTC wherever, whenever, and however possible. From Michael Saylor’s relentless “Send more orange” shopping sprees  , to corporate treasurers swapping cash for crypto in boardrooms worldwide  , the signal is clear: scarcity-driven FOMO is now the default operating system of global capital. Psychologists warn that price swings super-charge fear and greed  , yet the immutable 21-million hard cap keeps turning doubters into stackers  . Below, Air Kim distills the madness into an epic field guide so you can ride the lightning instead of watching it vaporize your old fiat mindset.

⚡️ 1. Definition: B.A.S.—The Joyful Virus of Wealth

First identified on the streets of the internet dojo — “Bitcoin Acquisition Syndrome, B.A.S.” was coined to describe the uncontrollable urge to buy more BTC after the first hit  . Unlike Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome (BDS), whose sufferers rage-tweet against innovation  , B.A.S. carriers smile, stack, and sprint toward sovereignty.

💰 2. Symptom #1: Compulsive “Stacking Sats”

B.A.S. victims measure life in satoshis—the smallest BTC unit—and celebrate Stacking Sats Saturdays like holy feast days  . The mantra? “Automatic buys, automatic freedom.”

🔥 3. Symptom #2: Laser-Eye Signaling

When the orange glow burns hot, Twitter/X avatars morph into laser-eyed cyborgs, broadcasting bullish faith to the tribe  . If your profile photo still has human pupils, are you even in the arena?

🏢 4. Symptom #3: Balance-Sheet Fever

  • Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy) just crossed 580,000 BTC—and even a billion-dollar preferred-stock sale is mere ammo for the next buy  .
  • A record 28 public companies now hold crypto treasuries, with debt-fueled “orange reserve” strategies leaping beyond Bitcoin into ETH, SOL, and XRP  .

B.A.S. has infected the C-suite: cash is trash, coins are king.

🗜️ 5. Symptom #4: Halving Hysteria & Scarcity Mania

April 19 2024 cut new-coin issuance in half—again—tightening supply while demand exploded  . Every halving marches us toward the 21-million terminal ceiling, weaponizing digital scarcity as the ultimate marketing machine  .

🎪 6. Symptom #5: Conference Carnage & Political Power Plays

Vegas 2025: 35,000 orange-pilled pilgrims cheered politicians, billionaires, and pardoned crypto rebels alike—proof that Bitcoin now moves votes as well as markets  . Mainstream finance media calls it a “crypto mania resurgence” and still can’t look away  .

🧠 7. Know the Counter-Syndrome: Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome

While B.A.S. pushes you to buy, BDS pushes critics to cry—a regret-driven crusade against inevitability  . Observe, don’t absorb.
