BC

UsagiYojimbo209

A friend of mine was suggesting I bought some back then, but it sounded like BS. I did try a system whereby my future self buys a time machine and returns to the past and buys myself enough BC to afford the time machine, but no success yet. I can only conclude time travel will never be possible, but sadly I don't have the maths skills to get paid for proving it. My friend nearly had the last laugh because he bought a few, but when prices rocketed he discovered the hard drive was totally dead. I bump into him sometimes, he usually spends his days loudly weeping, wishing for bad things to happen to good people, and picking through the bins at the bus station, poor guy.

Can’t be both a speculative investment and currency. If people believe there is the possibility of asset appreciation they will not spend it. If BC no longer is viewed as an investment then the price will crash.

Local-Education-1071

so you're predicting that BC will be 600,000+ in 4 years?

Suitable_Acadia_190

I legitimately dont predict, because I can watch for a wave count to unfold & daily for signs of exhaustion or topping. Then I just scale out while we're as high as possible & in 99+% of cases after the PrelimSupply has printed and actually into the BC. Having seen many instances of the historical the way these things usually break, all the number you said are realistic, mathematically speaking, leaning on the higher side the longer it takes to get moving. The longer the consolidation the more energy stored and in turn, the further the expansion

Mr_B_e_a_r

BC is old. Kill AI and BC will pick up. Or my prediction AI will create their own ECO system, currency, BC alternative but backed by AI.

CrazYforGold

Got in at 60K and slowly accumulating. I believe BC could definitely see $1M by 2040

This is a miner vote for a soft fork to change the protocol. The Knots / BIP110 people want to implement a change to restrict arbitrary data. Support in the mining community for this change is below 3% at present. The thing is (in addition to that being controversial) that their changes don't actually prevent adding arbitrary data, they just make it more complicated, at the cost of making Bitcoin less programmable - some future Lightning Network proposals use mechanisms that they want to ban. Worse, they tried to this with only a 55% vote threshold, instead of the normal 90%, which is **extremely** irresponsible and could create a severe chain split if they had more leverage (which they don't). TL;DR get some popcorn and watch a new shitcoin be born if they don't back down - it's like a widdle baby BC\*sh.

BombTheFuckers

Also I'm going to buy a couple of thousand of BC.

I did some digging into your transaction and followed the funds as far as I could. There are actually a few important things here that may give you a legitimate path to escalate this. Your original transaction was for **10,702.008824 USDC**: 0xfd03063823e54b1be8e2902f3b833840bd82f5dc374637887c5b14e66fea7c42 From what I can see, this looks much more like an **address-poisoning attack** than Polygon or MetaMask itself being hacked. The suspected attacker address is: 0x9b9Ae2db2C1fC598645cA2D954D1acB665b44F62 Address poisoning is where scammers create an address that looks extremely similar to one you’ve previously used and then get that address into your transaction history. Since MetaMask shortens wallet addresses, something like 0x9B9A...4F62 can look almost identical to the real address. If you copied a previous address from your transaction history, it’s possible you unknowingly copied the attacker’s look-alike address. Another reason I think this is possible is that your $10,702 transaction appears to have been a regular USDC transfer signed by your wallet. It doesn’t look like the typical transferFrom transaction you see when somebody drains a wallet through a malicious token approval. I also followed where your money went. After your original transaction, approximately **10,702 USDC** moved to: 0x93C215D29E0757d69156Eb939Bf8468dE269f05B TX: 0xfc3a937baf40f58a8a4595bae296823d92e82596227c7820362a4bf373051e0d Then approximately **10,692 USDC** moved to: 0x88F8eCbAa4fb38a60346f10A5c527230ebb1D9e9 The transactions included: 0xafc4cf5309b6c44ec346da64e9009e796b5350bb05bb240fd8bac8617d26c55e and 0xf97f0fa7947fd1c1f9e297951144adce3a8239e34088dba8da3e56f359b0a155 From there, the funds were split through several addresses: 0xF6B1D3Eb5d1Cf2b3E25fF9e3724C3e1d38A9a07c 0x9e06c2cD09d59CEeB0b821e3f89200b1A29C1808 0x29e6f28FB8961bE6290Ad18c2d76BCF8BC9bd39a 0x4D5Ee9fbB57a4C465629a501EFA02b9432253b4C Here’s the part I think is most important. The trail appears to eventually reach **Binance-related deposit infrastructure**. Approximately **7,395 USDC** appears to have gone toward: 0xAfC4A63C684bAB9DEfBDF6ccbc2ee167aa1df4aF And approximately **3,097 USDC** toward: 0xBD7E52424c2122484AF564568D6bcC0eE63FfFC3 The second address has previously been identified/indexed as a **Binance deposit address**. That doesn’t necessarily mean the thief personally has a Binance account. It could be an instant-swap service, intermediary, mule, nested service, etc. But it’s still important because Binance may be able to identify which internal account received those deposits. If that account has KYC information attached to it, law enforcement could potentially request the account information and see where the money went afterward. **I would file an IC3 report immediately if you haven’t already.** When you describe what happened, don’t just say: “My MetaMask was hacked.” I would tell them something closer to: “Approximately 10,702 USDC was fraudulently diverted through a suspected blockchain address-poisoning scheme. The proceeds were subsequently transferred through multiple Polygon addresses and appear to have reached Binance-associated deposit infrastructure.” Give them ALL of the wallet addresses and transaction hashes above. I would also file a local police report and specifically ask that it be forwarded to somebody who handles cybercrime/financial fraud. Then contact Binance and give them: Your original transaction hash The attacker address The intermediary addresses The apparent Binance addresses Your IC3 complaint number Your police report number Ask them to **preserve all records associated with the receiving account(s)**. They may tell you that they can’t freeze anything without law enforcement. That’s normal. Binance has a law-enforcement request system where investigators can request account/KYC and transaction information. There’s one other important thing: Because what was stolen was **USDC**, Circle may potentially be involved as well. USDC isn’t like Bitcoin where nobody controls it. Circle issues USDC and has the technical ability to freeze/block USDC in certain circumstances, especially when they receive a legitimate government/legal request. I wouldn’t expect Circle to freeze anything simply because you email them, but I would absolutely tell the investigator handling your case that this was USDC and ask whether they can contact Circle. Also, preserve EVERYTHING. Don’t delete MetaMask yet. Screenshot your entire transaction history, suspicious tiny transactions, the look-alike addresses, browser history, emails, messages, timestamps, etc. And obviously do not give anybody who DMs you: Your seed phrase Private keys Remote access to your computer Permission to connect your wallet Money for a “recovery service” Anyone claiming they can “hack the hacker” and recover the money for an upfront fee is almost certainly trying to scam you again. I can’t tell you that you’ll get the money back, because unfortunately there are no guarantees with this. **But I would not give up yet.** The fact that a significant portion of the trail appears to reach infrastructure associated with a centralized/KYC exchange is much more useful to investigators than if everything had simply disappeared into an unidentified private wallet. You actually have a pretty detailed blockchain trail to give law enforcement. If you haven’t already submitted an IC3 report, that’s probably the first thing I would do.

So these folks were too lazy to create and safe keep their own protective “large random number” to safeguard and access their BC? Geez

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Would it not be safer to “store” bitcoin locally? On your encrypted laptop/desktop hard drive and then with additional encrypted backups? It appears folks put their untraceable BC into digital safe deposit boxes and someone broke into those safe deposit boxes; is this a good analogy? If A.I. did this, and Bitcoin can be hacked, does this not destroy the “built-in” security BC is supposed to have against USD currency? Super lazy bank heist. No masks, assault rifles or getaway vehicles needed.

As someone who has become far too familiar with git's internals that I ever wanted to be, I would not say that it's actually unusual to see a commit signed by someone who did not author it. It's possible to have a workflow where commits are rebased, cherry picked, squashed, etc. where the original author's authorship is preserved, but the maintainer is essentially creating a new commit. If the maintainer has configured their git to sign new commits, then we would see a commit with an Author of one person, and a GPG signature from someone else. We can actually see this behavior in the BIPs repo, for example this commit that has an Author of Jameson Lopp, while it has a Committer of Murch, and a GPG signature from Murch: commit 86dfa19bef154c88a3fa4b2185400837f2d6cad9 gpg: Signature made Tue 14 Apr 2026 07:38:03 AM PDT gpg: using RSA key 35F4ADA623EB9FE3A3BC7EF67BA035CA5B901713 gpg: Good signature from "Murch <murch@murch.one>" [full] gpg: aka "Mark Erhardt <mark@chaincode.com>" [full] gpg: aka "Mark Erhardt <me@markerhardt.de>" [full] gpg: aka "Mark Erhardt <mark.erhardt@gmail.com>" [full] Author: Jameson Lopp <jameson.lopp@gmail.com> AuthorDate: Tue Apr 14 16:36:41 2026 +0200 Commit: Murch <murch@murch.one> CommitDate: Tue Apr 14 07:37:58 2026 -0700 Crucially, commits have metadata about who actually made the commit. We see Author which is different from Commit, and a signature that matches Commit. So what do we see when we look at libngu? Here is a commit from libngu: commit 5cf9c5efd68b8d27f299ec82687e4fbdb432b4c7 gpg: Signature made Thu 29 Sep 2022 06:30:45 AM PDT gpg: using RSA key D9766C79E77B0198D66975BDF0E6CC6AFC16CF7B gpg: Good signature from "Peter Gray (@qbert) <peter@conalgo.com>" [expired] gpg: aka "Peter Gray <peter@ripeapps.com>" [expired] gpg: Note: This key has expired! Primary key fingerprint: A004 C9BC E217 ABE9 341C D81A A2DC D558 C2BE 5D7C Subkey fingerprint: D976 6C79 E77B 0198 D669 75BD F0E6 CC6A FC16 CF7B Author: Switck <69336248+switck@users.noreply.github.com> AuthorDate: Thu Sep 29 09:30:45 2022 -0400 Commit: Switck <69336248+switck@users.noreply.github.com> CommitDate: Thu Sep 29 09:30:45 2022 -0400 As in my BIPs example, the Author does not match the GPG signer. **BUT the GPG signer also does not match the Committer!** That is unusual. If we assume that the Committer and GPG Signer are the same person - and in typical git setups they are - then this suggests that Switck and Peter Gray are the same person. Furthermore, we can also look at the timestamps. In my first example from BIPs, the timestamp for AuthorDate is completely different from CommitDate. But the timestamp of GPG signature is within seconds of the CommitDate. This minor discrepancy is easily explained by someone who has password protected their GPG key, or has it on something like a Yubikey. This suggests that the Author and the Committer are actually separate persons, and the GPG signature was produced by the Committer. But if we look at the timestamps in the libngu commit, we see that they are all almost entirely the same. The AuthorDate, CommitDate, and GPG signature timestamp are all the same. This suggests that all 3 timestamps were produced in the same action, which suggests that the Author, Committer, and GPG signer are all the same person.

Your funds have moved to binance I traced a significant portion of the stolen USDC on Polygon. **Confirmed flow:** `Victim (0xfc4Cbff74a700Bb3EaC682061E0794cEB457422A)` → **10,702.008824 USDC** → `0x9b9Ae2db2C1fC598645cA2D954D1acB665b44F62` → `0x93C215D29E0757d69156Eb939Bf8468dE269f05B` → `0x88F8eCbAa4fb38a60346f10A5c527230ebb1D9e9` From there, the funds were split into four transfers: * **2,378 USDC** → `0x29e6f28FB8961bE6290Ad18c2d76BCF8BC9bd39a` * **2,622 USDC** → `0x9e06c2cD09d59CEeB0b821e3f89200b1A29C1808` * **2,395 USDC** → `0x4D5Ee9fbB57a4C465629a501EFA02b9432253b4C` * **3,097.009581 USDC** → `0xF6B1D3Eb5d1Cf2b3E25fF9e3724C3e1d38A9a07c` I traced the **3,097.009581 USDC** branch further: `0xF6B1D3Eb5d1Cf2b3E25fF9e3724C3e1d38A9a07c` → `0xBD7E52424c2122484AF564568D6bcC0eE63FfFC3` → **Binance: Hot Wallet 34** (`0xEe7aE85f2Fe2239E27D9c1E23fFFe168D63b4055`) The transfer into Binance occurred on **2026-08-01 19:12:56 UTC** for the full **3,097.009581 USDC**. The wallet `0xBD7E52424...` has a long history of receiving USDC and then forwarding the exact same amounts directly into **Binance: Hot Wallet 34**, so this appears to be an intermediary deposit wallet used before funds reach Binance. If Binance receives a preservation request or a lawful request from law enforcement, they should be able to identify the customer account that received credit for this deposit. The remaining three branches (2,378 USDC, 2,622 USDC, and 2,395 USDC) can also be traced further to determine whether they ultimately reached Binance, another exchange, or another destination.

Your funds have been deposited to two Binance addresses: 0xAfC4A63C684bAB9DEfBDF6ccbc2ee167aa1df4aF - 7,395 USDC 0xBD7E52424c2122484AF564568D6bcC0eE63FfFC3 - 3097.009581 USDC It's likely these are actually the deposit addresses used by Instant Swapping Service like EasyBit which nest inside Binance for liquidity. This would mean law enforcement would need to approach Binance to identify if they are actually Binance addresses, or if they belong to a 'nested service'. Flow of funds: Initial theft TxID 0xfd03063823e54b1be8e2902f3b833840bd82f5dc374637887c5b14e66fea7c42 10,702 USDC moved from attacker wallet 0x9b9Ae2db2C1fC598645cA2D954D1acB665b44F62 to 0x93C215D29E0757d69156Eb939Bf8468dE269f05B in TxID 0xfc3a937baf40f58a8a4595bae296823d92e82596227c7820362a4bf373051e0d. 10,692 USDC moved from 0x93C215D29E0757d69156Eb939Bf8468dE269f05B to 0x88F8eCbAa4fb38a60346f10A5c527230ebb1D9e9 in two transactions. TxID 1 (200 USDC) - 0xafc4cf5309b6c44ec346da64e9009e796b5350bb05bb240fd8bac8617d26c55e TxID 2 (10,492 USDC) - 0xf97f0fa7947fd1c1f9e297951144adce3a8239e34088dba8da3e56f359b0a155 10 USDC was swapped for POL to use as gas fees. Address 0x88F8eCbAa4fb38a60346f10A5c527230ebb1D9e9 broke the stolen funds down through four deposit to four addresses. I would expect these four addresses are likely the deposit addresses for a swapping service as onward tracing is to the Binance addresses which is likely the swapping service sweeping its liquidity. The four receiving addresses suspected to be swapping service deposit addresses are: 1 - 0xF6B1D3Eb5d1Cf2b3E25fF9e3724C3e1d38A9a07c 2 - 0x9e06c2cD09d59CEeB0b821e3f89200b1A29C1808 3 - 0x29e6f28FB8961bE6290Ad18c2d76BCF8BC9bd39a 4 - 0x4D5Ee9fbB57a4C465629a501EFA02b9432253b4C. Worth filing a report with your relevant law enforcement and contacting Binance to see if the deposit addresses 0xAfC4A63C684bAB9DEfBDF6ccbc2ee167aa1df4aF and 0xBD7E52424c2122484AF564568D6bcC0eE63FfFC3 are linked to nested services. With some luck, you might be able to contact the nested services and identify where the funds have gone.

Fantasy. If BC can't maintain $100K in these obscenely flush times, what's gonna happen when people suddenly need liquidity to prop up other (safer) investments? Crypto will be exposed as the garbage it is.

By the time casuals catch the hype train, the token or coin is peaking. Happens to me all the time lol. But I was smart and bought BC now even though I was very tempted in the way down to 80k

the benefits of reliable transportation of goods/people outweight the costs. the benefits of BC (if any) does not.

Issues accessing the BC, Blockchainat.com website. My last accessing was on Friday with no issues. I attempted to login on Monday and again today, but accessing was denied. There are reports that 'blockchainat. com' is being used to possibly extort funds from its users. Has anyone else experienced this same issue. FYI for review and comment

BC was never meant to be hoarded. It’s a payment method for transactions. The fact that financial institutions are dabbling in BC is ironic considering it was created to bypass them. It kinda sucks that the black market latched on to it first, but it is what it is.

WernerrenreW

I know, and we the world do not want your dollars. Just pointing out that the claim is that BC is a safe haven, and it is not! It will go down with the dollar system! But as the dollar falls BC will go up until it is cheaper to do your walls with the dollar than with wall paper, just like the Italian Lira.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Instead of delusions of grandeur, we have a delusion cooperative. I mean OP isn’t wrong; as long as enough people keep buying (and holding) Bitcoin, Bitcoin will remain valuable. How valuable? Well that’s the rub. It’s so very interesting to me that Bitcoin Believers never talk about the fact that 94k large investors which represent just 2% of all Bitcoin accounts collectively own 80% of the Bitcoin in circulation. And yet…there is unshakable belief among so many fractional coin owners that Bitcoin is some incorruptible medium of exchange and wealth building…when it is in fact set up to be manipulated and exploited because it has zero controls, zero oversight, zero authority. It is only what it is. And people find that…beautiful. Which is lovely for its romanticism and idealism. But whether it bears fruit, is absolutely NOT guaranteed. OP says he doesn’t care if it takes 20 years to hit one million valuation. Aww, how nice for him. Many current holders of BC will in fact be dead years before that milestone is reached. Is money more valuable to someone’s life when they are 30 y/o? 40 y/o? 70 y/o? 90 y/o? Yeah I’m gonna go out on a ledge here and say it is better and it is more valuable and more rewarding to enjoy wealth as a younger person vs someone near the end of their existence. Also, dying of old age is not something any of us alive today should ever take for granted. I love the smooth brain-ness of those who just keep blindly buying more and more BC no matter what and then tout this as peak intelligence or ultimate wisdom. Of course it’s not. Do I own BC? Yep. Do I make my entire life about it? Do I invest every possible unspent unneeded dollar in my possession into owning as much BC as I can buy every 5 minutes of every day? Not at all. Do I go around trying to hype up the purchase of BC to others as often and randomly as I possibly can? Nope sure don’t. It’ll either do well or it won’t. Either way, life is too fucking short yall. Enjoy it as much as you can right the fuck now.

Spiritual-Welder-630

I can see $BC2 x30 in and $LC2 x100 in an altseason, given their market caps are $400k and $24k, respectively

Spiritual-Welder-630

BitcoinII ($BC2) and LitecoinII ($LC2) for me. They’re fair-launch, Layer 1 Proof of Work coins using the same code as BTC and LTC sitting at veeeery low market caps.

BattleClean1630

No it can't keep paying dividends for "years". It will be forced to sell BC and is severely underwater. The dumbass kept buying high hoping it would go higher. It's nothing more than a ponzi scheme about to implode.

OkSpeed50

Can do, and can do easily are two very different things. Would assume that's why none of the things you claim have hit mainstream. Can you buy something and be confident the next day you didn't overspend by 25%? If your house costs $650k, and you buy with Bitcoin today @65k, so it costs you 10 Bitcoin, and then tomorrow Bitcoin jumps to $90k, wouldn't you be annoyed that you just massively overpaid for your house? You would have just wasted 2.8 Bitcoin? So, yes you can do those things with BC, but it seems kinda silly to do it no?

Downtown_Alfalfa_504

Unpopular opinion. You might have played this right. I put about €20k in bitcoin in 2020. Dropped to about $10k within a year. In about 2025 got back up to $25k and I got out. I kept a tracker on the value of my investments. They’d be worth about $15k now. So investing now would be like investing back in 2019/2020 or so. There’s been a bumpy ride because it’s a volatile asset. However, if you believe that BC is an asset that will, generally over time, increase in value, investing now is like you’ve invested 6 years ago, which is good. I’m almost tempted to get back in myself. Something like 3% of the world’s wealth is invested in BC, so I should invest 3% of my wealth to keep up - choosing not to means I’m betting against crypto, and I’m not confident enough to do that.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Look at this true monetary wizard. You need to BUY Bitcoin right? Yes or no. Can you buy one BC with a box of crackerjacks?!? Nope. Until we all get PAID in BC then NO Bitcoin is not a true monetary asset. Got some one-of-a-kind seashells in a box somewhere. Only ones like them in the world!! Couldn’t sell them at a rummage sale for $2 (USD). Scarcity is NOT an equivalent to value. Keep holding your buys/next stack up; BC bout to be cheap AF.

watchface38

I'm wondering why Banano also hasn't gain traction this run. Maybe BC it's on it's very own blockchain and not on phantom/uniswap

Jimbo071517

Saw all these same rants when Etherium hit $2500 and when BC hit $100K. With everything going on, I’m betting on Etherium dropping below $1200 and BC in the mid $40K

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Is it good to buy BC at any time? Sure. Are there way better times to buy versus other times? Hell yes there is. Kicking back, waiting to maximize my next stack-up. Go for that big big low BC!! Yeah baby yeah!!

Environmental_Ice_80

decentrali Wat? XD number of BC ~ 21.000.000 State / Government holdings: · USA: ~205,000 BTC · China (seized, mostly sold): <50,000 BTC · Ukraine: ~46,000 BTC · UK: ~61,000 BTC · Germany (mostly sold now): ~0–10,000 BTC · North Korea (hacked): ~50,000 BTC · Other governments: ~30,000 BTC   → Total government known: ~250,000–330,000 BTC · Satoshi Nakamoto (unmoved early blocks): ~600,000–700,000 BTC · MicroStrategy (Michael Saylor): ~400,000–500,000 BTC · BlackRock, Fidelity etc. (ETF custody): ~800,000+ BTC · Exchanges (Binance, Coinbase — user funds): ~1,000,000–2,000,000 BTC. so how many is left for the rest of the "paying customers" ? XD

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Love all the fools who claim today’s low price must be the bottom. Then BC goes even lower the next day. Love all the concern for the rest of us poor saps who haven’t bought more yet…you know because someone trying so very hard to convince you to buy right now a speculative commodity they themselves already hold…obviously only has your best interests at heart 🙄🤣🤮

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Aww this is cute. Let’s go $5k BC!!! BRING IT!!!

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Sigh. Bro, I’m with you but we are somehow coming to two different conclusions. And it’s silly. YES!! Short term Sir. But what IS short term? A day? A week? A month? 3 months? I say YES to ALL these. Could be would be should be. Maybe just maybe sitting at $63k right now, BC is about to ride that ROCKET to the Moon first thing later this morning! And 36 hours from now, it will be $300k!!! OMG!! . . . OR, and hear me out, maybe just maybe BC is still feathering down to its ultimate (short term!! Haaaaa) low. Will that low be $50k? Will it be $40k? Lower still? (Oh don’t tease me BC…) Again, as an obvious true believer, you are advising dca weekly buy-ins. A true CONSERVATIVE investment ploy for an asset that is as far away from an established financial instrument as one can be in our current world. In fact, it is politely considered a speculative commodity. Nice. The unspoken thought process we are dancing around is that we, the Great Brave Unbreakable Crypto Community, should all drink the same cool-aid at the same time and just buy buy buy buy buy NO MATTER WTF BC is actually doing. Well - respectfully - f\*ck that group-think. The very DEFINITION of a Ponzi scheme is that it keeps trucking into higher valuations if (a) everyone already inside it keeps playing to fuel the game against their own interests (greed baby, such a drug!) and (b) those inside keep enticing more fresh fish to join their efforts. If Bitcoin REALLY is the next best medium of exchange, then we should NOT be so invested (see that?) in whipping others to do as we do ourselves. Bitcoin will THRIVE without ANY MORE buy-ins from you or me — given enough time. Or…BC f\*cking dies. IN EITHER OF THOSE CASES, I will buy when I believe I can get THE MOST BC for my limited dollars (within a short term period brother!!) rather than buying buying buying as a simple hedge ploy. Goodnight.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Exactly. We don’t know. Funny that you would use the LACK of prescience as a reason to buy more BC right now. You and I could also die of a heart attack in our sleep tonight, making it more than reasonable to buy more BC right TF now. We’d still be dead though.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Well it’s the RIGHT NOW part of it that is aggravating me Sir. I hold a solid chunk of stacked BC myself (I’ve never sold; then again my first purchase was in 2020 so I would hardly be considered a “veteran” by most in this sub…however if you know 2020 prices you know the pull to do is strong 😅). I am STOKED for MUCH LOWER BC pricing. Make The Fall continue my brothers 💪

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Exactly. I’m glad you just said the obvious; Bit coin will be cheaper tomorrow. And likely for the next few weeks (at least). So…if we all “know” the price of BC is on the down swing, why TF are so many of you BC Bangers tryna rally peeps into buying more BC RTF now?!? Everyone should chill. If you haven’t bought BC recently, there ain’t NO REASON to buy BC today or tomorrow or next week. Unless you’ve been living under a damn rock, we all know BC is going through some violent ass volatility. So why TF should anyone jump into the white rapids right now? Nah, stay out the raft, let others drown and panic, and get a helicopter ride with champagne and a BJ to the calmer waters further downstream. Then pick up the pieces for cheap. So bro? Easy shit. Your welcome.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Sir, TF is wrong with your smooth brain? Your question shows your problem; instead of a Bible Banger you are a Bitcoin Banger 😂 The answer is…you don’t need to tell anyone to do anything WITH THEIR MONEY. If people want to blow their worthless greenbacks on Starbucks or 93 Octane or beers at the local pub…LET THEM. The more yall push your fervor upon others who don’t GAFs, the more you’ll turn folks off. There are A LOT of “big BC whales” who are selling MASSIVE troughs of BC holdings this last week (with more sell-offs continuing), many at significant losses. Why? Oh yeah, so they can take this cash (at big losses) to buy upcoming IPO stocks. If you believe these same deep pockets don’t have MANY OTHER liquidity options (with far less losses) to milk to prep for SpaceX, again, your smooth brain is showing.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Bro, I ain’t the one rationalizing and trying to divine future results based on past events / cycles. It’s humorous how those who so strongly believe in BC are also the ones who are loudest about convincing everyone else around them. I had no idea buying and owning BC was the same as BaC…i.e. Born Again Christians. Keep buying like a smooth brain rocket man Sir and remember ain’t no price low enough for BC…🤠

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

I’m happy it’s worked out for you so far. This does not mean this “strategy” will continue working out well. BC has no inherent value. I get it, it cannot be hacked (well not until A.I. comes to bear on it apparently…which will happen sooner than later) and it cannot be counterfeited and it cannot be tracked (although this is also now in doubt after idiots tried to “get paid” during Nancy Guthrie’s ill-fated kidnapping) and no government can artificially tweak it (although many governments do in fact hold billions of dollars worth). BC has no backing and no regulation. Literally it requires more and more people to “buy in” to it. The only way its value increases is if the belief in it spreads. We have seen its value skyrocket and, right now, we are witnessing its value get beat TF up. Very amusing the true believers are the ones who can’t stop repeating “take emotion out of it!” like… 😂

BoysenberryBorn5289

What about if you dont have that long? Like my friend Ringo, he's 83 and is in questionable health, so you think he should invest in BC?

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Gotta love the Bitcoin true believers. These dudes would still be telling everyone to buy if the BC price was $2k. Yo!! Grab this discount!! Now it’s folks selling their Bitcoin (many at significant losses mind you) so they have cash on hand for big IPOs. Ok…but if I’m already holding Bitcoin…and the Big Heads are all but guaranteeing BC will be at least $400k per coin in less than 4 years…why the hell am I jumping off that massive return to buy some IPO shares? Are all these folks hunting so desperately for liquidity to buy IPOs only have their BC holdings to cash in? Hmm. The reality is that 90+% of all Bitcoin “owners” are exactly the entities that Bitcoin was supposed to protect the so-called little guys from. And these BC “whales” have had and will continue to have an outsized effect on outflows and inflows of Bitcoin.

superaleaiactaest

That's the point of the post. It's essentially a protocol so that you don't panic. BC panic is usually the worst reason to do something

mcmlxxivxxiii

Hmm, so where to is headed BC around October ⬆️ or ⬇️

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Bruh a bit coin believer gonna buy BC no matter how bad it smells. If you think/feel BC price gonna go down more (and in a big way) why tf wouldn’t you wait to buy at that lower price?? Answer: you gonna wait. But if you are a blind pusher then yeah you don’t care what the price is you just gonna buy buy buy. If you willing to buy and hold…for a year or three…then sure buy whenever. But if you want to avoid immediate losses, yeah the better move is to wait. And if you’re wrong and this is as low as BC gonna get, ok cool you are wrong. Investing — especially short term — is still glorified gambling.

Infamous_Mechanic356

Triggered my limit order for BC @59,200 today.....

biznovation

The honest answer is that it isn’t. BC (and all other digital currencies) are purely speculative and do not run in any sort of cycle.

Sweet-Success-2019

Do you bitcoin people also own stock portfolios? I’ve made 5x average over the last twenty four months (2x to 20x). What gain do you expect from BC after 24mos if you buy in at 60K? Just curious. I’d be pulling my hair out.

Physical-Profit9447

AI (LLMs specifically) becomes more relevant, profitable in 3 years than crypto in 17 years. I am not saying there is no bubble in AI economy but it is exactly like beginning of the internet. NFT and blockchain have never been. BC is total overhyped BS.

Upper_Veterinarian24

His coin is dumping. BC is liquid gold and always will be. He just wants his.

ConstructionNo8827

Any thought in buying BTCI? At least it pays you every month over 2% back and grows in price when BC goes up

ScallopsMoneyShot

For better or worse, those old wallets are near impossible to get into. I remember when BC first popped up on slashdot and such. It was just this random thing that maybe by some one-in-a-million long shot would one day be worth as much as an actual dollar. I'm sure I'm *far* from the only one that mined a few thousand back when it was trivially easy, lost interest and lost their keys in the decade or so before it gained any real value. I remember all the chat at the time: "*If BC ever hits a dollar we'll all be rich*" *"Fat chance.*" I've still got a wallet that (assuming it's the right one) has like 10-50k coins in it. I long ago accepted that I'll never get it open.

1stUserEver

Is BC going to hold the bags for AI? This could get interesting.

Personal-Ebb-4717

ONE problem with your theory. MSTR buying BC hasn't caused BC price to go higher in any meaning way since 2025. The only thing happening is MSTR become exit liquidity for the early BC whales and probably N korean hackers.

Last_Secretary_3205

You seem pretty oblivious to the BC cycle.

Personal-Ebb-4717

MSTR, the biggest buyer of BC, can no longer buy BC. STRC has been below Par since dividend. There is no other gimmick Saylor has to raise capital. All the money goes to AI stock. Which is why BC went from 75k to 71k, and will soon hit 60k.

AdFast1121

1. Much better protocols also use blockchain. Bitcoin has no value add. 2. AVAX can settle instantly. Die mad about it 3. And thats extremely slow compared to everything else in market.  4. PoW banning is inevitable to maintain PoS innovation. Already happening globally. BC bans PoW on environmental concerns. Legislatures don't care about 'but maxi'.

jekpopulous2

Partially quantum resistant… and it depends how modern. Older P2PK addresses expose the public key when you sent a transaction. Native Segwit addressed that with BC1Q… but then Taproot was later released, which actually exposes your public key by default. The most modern wallets are ironically the most susceptible. Also… the reason that I say partially is that Bitcoin is still the most susceptible to mempool attacks because transactions take so long. They’re further off than ECDSA attacks but one major advantage other chains have is that they settle in a few seconds so there’s no time to fish transactions from the mempool. With Bitcoin you have anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to extract the private from a Segwit address before it changes. I love Bitcoin but they need to come up with a real solution just like everyone else. If they don’t do it in time BTC might have to burn all the coins in that are still in ECDSA wallets to prevent them from being stolen, and I’m not sure burning $800B with the BTC is the best idea.

Spiritual-Welder-630

Side note: check miningpoolstats. $BC2 is already at top 10 coin by mining pools and $LC2 is already a top 10 Scrypt coin by mining pools. All other coins +/-3 spots are all multiple times more in market cap.

Spiritual-Welder-630

I’m holding Layer 1 Proof of Work nanocaps (BitcoinII ($BC2) and LitecoinII ($LC2)). I like the second-chance, fair launch narrative and I think they’ll explode next altseason

Zealousideal_Leg8830

Yes, that is correct. This is a revised version of the previous BC logo. The purpose was to verify with people in real life that the SN pseudonym belongs to him, as well as the fact that only he and Sirius have access to that SF.

cleanbreakrecords

The business nas to opt in to Bitcoin payments and it takes only a few minutes to set up. Square businesses that accept BC can also automatically have a percentage of their daily sales converted to BC

SungamCorben

The first "public" version shared by email by Satoshi and also de linked version in the Metzdowd came with a similar logo with BC words.

SungamCorben

It wasn't exactly a vote, but several suggestions. The original logo made by Satoshi (actually, it was the second logo; the original was just a BC) was sent to the mailing list and then to the forum. He himself said it was temporary until someone made another one. And that's what happened.

Which_Jelly3579

He most certainly is dead .... Died of an overdose in Vancouver, BC a few years ago ... but he wast the owner of the wallet in the first place. I am. Me and Mark aka Stone Man were in business together and after the shock of the loss of coins that morning I had told him about it and he took it upon himself to contact on bitcointalk thinking he might get a piece of it after I also explained the idea i had of its value in the future and maybe he could get a cut like a finders fee, which I explained to him is impossible but he still tried. Im sure all this is verifiable via logs of ip on the forum site and I know he would have been on a shaw canada ip as well was I ... him being off Georgia St in Vancouver, BC and me in Kits Beach of Vancouver BC as well. But I am the only one with details of it all and also that the drive is no longer.

BC ist not BTC. BC is a shitcoin like thousand others.

decentralised_cash

A second chance, I guess! Has gained a lot of popularity in recent months. The dev called it "training wheels for Bitcoin", since it helps people understand Bitcoin better without investing enormous sums. And, surprisingly, it actually has *more* nodes worldwide than Bitcoin at the moment (though obviously not nearly as much hashpower). I don't think posting links here is allowed, but if you Google "BitcoinII (BC2)", it'll show up.

decentralised_cash

More Bitcoin! If you want moonshot potential, there's BitcoinII (BC2). Its code is **identical** to Bitcoin - it's literally a relaunch of Bitcoin.

Satelite_of_Love

I havent seen that movie but ive been pretty early into BC and other crypto and while not any sort of expert or power user at all i have been around it and thinking about it a long while now and frankly ive had this thought a while. Its why I tend to prefer other coins that focus on anonymity. Those arent as popular and its interesting the focus by anyone when you mention them about their only use being shady things... as if that's the only reason why someone would want anonymity. Seems an old play from an old playback on a new thing. Also no clue how true any of it is and not sure I believe it but I do know without a doubt whatever the "play" is by "them" im always behind the 8 ball and frequently wrong and my thoughts or opinions never matter nuch anyway lol. I just try to live each day with a smile best I can

BitcoinII (BC2). Its code is identical to Bitcoin's. It's Bitcoin, relaunched.

Middle-Transition888

What will happen to BC soon?

Total_Cod_1111

I appreciate this comment, but maybe I should add some context. 5 years ago that 10k investment was a really big deal for me. I'm 38 and have 5 kids living in BC and really struggling to save any thing these days. I have nothing in my tfsa but I have 100k (Cad) worth of taxable bitcoin. Selling the BTC today which is in my wife's name (stay at home mom) would cost very little on gains but in a couple years she may be back at work. The BTC could be sold and max out one of our TFSA for tax free future gains. I realize they're are many other eligible investment options but at our stage of life the only way we can afford to fund the tfsa is by selling btc

My husband said Bitcoin would see 100k when it was at 12-13k, I sold at 23k and those of you who invest in BC remember it rapidly went the next week or so to 77k. I am fairly sure it will see 100k again

🚀 Bitcoin 2 (BC2): La Segunda Oportunidad Para los que sienten que llegaron tarde a Bitcoin, Bitcoin 2 es el clon fiel que reinicia el juego. Aquí los puntos clave de por qué es una mina de oro a largo plazo: ⚡ Refugio de Mineros: Con la dificultad de BTC por las nubes y recompensas de solo 3.125, los mineros con hardware SHA-256 (S19, S9) están migrando a BC2. Es más rentable y el algoritmo es el mismo. 💎 Recompensa Real: Mientras Bitcoin es un "abuelo" con recompensas mínimas, BC2 entrega 50 monedas por bloque. Estás entrando en la fase de acumulación masiva. 📈 Predicción 2037: La escasez y la adopción de los que buscan una "segunda oportunidad" podrían llevar el precio por encima de los 10.000$. 🛠️ Configuración Pro: Si usas el monedero Core, no te quedes con los 450MB de caché por defecto. Súbelo a 4000 MiB y activa 4 hilos de verificación para que tu nodo vuele. 🚫 Prohibido el Trading: No seas de los que venden por un 20% de beneficio. La estrategia es comprar, guardar en tu propio monedero y olvidar. Conclusión: Bitcoin 2 es para los que saben ver el futuro antes de que sea evidente. En 2037, los que hicieron trading se tirarán de los pelos; los que guardaron, tendrán su jubilación resuelta.

Ok-Reporter-8764

Author, I’m reaching out because I haven’t received any response to my recent inquiries regarding the BC Vault invalid password issue. Given that you’ve taken a strong stance, mentioning that you're consulting with lawyers and waiting for more affected users to come forward in preparation for a potential lawsuit, I find it very concerning that basic questions i'm messaging you are being ignored. If your intention is truly to help those of us impacted by the loss of our crypto, I believe it’s only fair to maintain open lines of communication. Ignoring users who are reaching out undermines trust and raises doubts about your commitment; unless, of course, your goal is something else entirely.I hope that’s not the case, and I look forward to your response.

Individual-Buy-7079

Hmmm, well I was asking the same 2 months ago with almost 12 Million SATS at just under $11K. I decided to cash out $4,500. I bought 1/4 Oz Gold Maple Leaf and 15 Oz of Silver Eagles and bullion. I saved $1300 for a plumbing repair and new sink project. Right after I withdrew it, BC began its decline down to under $70k. I’ve got about $5k remaining but I’m thinking i, too, will continue to HODL.
