BC

It's wild how a community-adopted symbol became so iconic, while the original "BC" design is practically a forgotten relic.

Shushani

What’s interesting about that? It’s just the dollar symbol but instead of the letter S it’s the letter B, presumably the video game currency begins with the letter B(?). The Bitcoin logo & symbol wasn’t even created by Satoshi, but adopted by the community after a user posted on the forum. The original logo by Satoshi was ‘BC’.

Lowkey-lover

This is incorrect the original Bitcoin logo was BC around the time of New Liberty Standard the game you are referring to is buck coins with the two brothers from andromeda the new bitcoin logo the one we recognise today is not the original Bitcoin logo. Iykyk.

Glum-Log3377

"should" drop down? that's not how it works. it MIGHT drop down to 80k but also might get to 200k. if you buy now and BC gets to 200k you basically double your money. But we don't know what will happen. with institutional adoptions and ETFs and the new regulations etc things are evolving and the past cycles might not repeat.

BC money printer goes brrrr soon as per Powel

It all depends upon the source of that energy. If the energy is coming from waste / stranded energy or unsused green energy like excess nuclear or hydro In this specific case their primary power comes from BC Hydro electricity and many houses use natural gas for heating but since this pool is owned and operated by the City of Vancouver their operation costs per kWh are a mere 2-3 cents and the profitability zone for Bitcoin is 4-6 cents per kWh compared to heating with natural gas , thus its much more ideal to heat the pool with ASICs in this specific example as they would just be using excess hydro for free

Sad_Attention2561

I'm super ignorant. BC crashed from 30s-60s, down to 15-17k per coin just a couple years ago? Now it's super inflated to over six digits. Can someone explain why now is the time to invest with it being over 100k a coin with as volatile as it is? I have no doubt it is here to stay, but it's hard for it to make sense to buy into it over 6 digits when I was buying it at 15k, 30k, etc. Can someone talk some sense into me?

Starskigoat

Take half the gain off the table. You can enjoy a little and diversify into other assets as well. You still get exposure to potential BC gains (and losses.)

BanButtcoinMod

> the goal of BC is to be rich NOW (or soon) That's indeed why most people are in it. I'm afraid that's only possible if you're already wealthy to begin with. I think the minimum amount of BTC to hold and to rapidly become wealthy is at least one full coin. If you still need to buy your first SATS, you'd already need to be wealthy in order to get that amount. No 'regular' people have just $120k sitting in the bank. At least none that I'm aware of. The main goal why people in the future will still FOMO into BTC, is because they'll soon all realize that they need a good hedge against inflation. And the possibilities for that, are very limited. Outside of gold, land, real estate, etc. what's left? And which one is the easiest to actually obtain? The answer is Bitcoin. >BC needs to be adopted a real currency for a megaleap I can promise you that it doesn't. People here are too focussend on the "currency" part. BTC wouldn't be a good currency for day to day usage. The network isn't really good for that (I know they're trying to fix that with Lightning). Usage of a hedge against inflation, or just a safe place to keep your money (aka being your own bank) is much more appealing to people than "hurr durr it's the digital dollar". Soon the government will launch CBDC's and they wouldn't want any competition for that anyway. What BTC is transforming to, is much more bullish than any currency could ever be.

bodhasattva

The rational for the potential is fine but there's the reality of when & more importantly what will be the catalyst for such a monumental increase? BC reached $100K on pure subculture crypto-bros. As others have said, BC needs to be adopted a real currency for a megaleap. Otherwise itll just continue to slowly creep up. You & I might have $1M-$2M by the time we're 60 but the goal of BC is to be rich NOW (or soon)

AForceNinja

That’s the standard rate here in BC Canada

ElPeroTonteria

BC BTC is the big mover in the crypto-verse... BTC tends to move inverse to DXY. DXY. Spiked on higher PPI. Bonds are selling off, Those players appear to be going cash and stocks.

RevolutionaryStaff42

Bottom line is your FA can't make any $$$ off you holding Bitcoin so it's an automatic "NO" for them. Also, many of them don't understand Bitcoin and since BC is unregulated in most countries they feel like it's a free-for-all with extremely high risk. TBH, I would have never mentioned owning Bitcoin to anyone, especially a financial advisor

bunbunswildrpg

I would not sell BC, that’s a long term investment

justinrich56

'Dont go near situations where someone can force you to hand over your keys ' Sounds like creating a gilded cage. Maybe just maybe all the BC in the world aint worth that.

SimbaTheWeasel

You could buy your entire village their own Big Mac combos Mr.BC

Rumplestiltsskins

To make it better write BC or the logo on it instead of the whole name to make it a better sell. Everyone's heard of bitcoin even if they know nothing about it but someone who isn't into it may not know what the logo is.

Breklin76

You’re much luckier than the Bloke who threw his BC HDD out and now wants to buy the dump to find it.

NoMathematician3105

Maybe a more interesting question to answer would be… How much Safety Cash (fiat) should I hold in order to avoid the probability of having to sell off any BC over the next X years?

Not BC but yeah hopefully

Swimming_Sign_888

Hate that you made up this BS abbreviation of BTC and decided to call it BC. Bitch Cunt?

SmoothGoing

It's BTC not BC. Is it unfair I didn't get to invest into Facebook and turn $500K into $2 billion? Is it unfair that you're young and healthy and others are old and sick?

4orty6and2

Buy a Bitcoin ETF within your 401k. If its not available convert your 401k to a major firm that has one. There are many right now and they are spot to the price of BC. Can also hold a gold ETF in your retirement account. Lots of options other than liquidation and taking a massive penalty. 

MichaelAischmann

BC's business is entertainment & affiliate links. He doesn't care about being right or wrong as long as you are watching.

Obvireal

Some of what you should to know is usd and all other fiat declares because government steal value from its holders by printing it, companies can do the same thing with their stocks by issuing more shares. Bitcoin cannot be devalued so holders get 100% of the appreciation. There is only a set number of Bitcoins so the price goes up and can be explosive when the supply runs thin. Think of bitcoin like the internet. Everyone is free to build a website and publish it to the world through a “decentralized” network, with Bitcoin everyone is free to transact with the world through a decentralized network. There are cycles and timing is difficult. It’s best to DCA and rely on the saying “Time in the market beats timing the market”. Governments have been stealing from their citizens since at least 200 BC when the Roman Empire debased their currency by lowering the amount of precious metals in them and keeping the left over for the empire. Bitcoin is the first and only thing that has been created that fully avoids this theft that countries and companies commit. We are in the adoption phase so there is a lot of price appreciation ahead, look at past adoption curves of other technology’s. Bitcoin is at about 4% global adoption.

Personal-Ebb-4717

5. MSTR, STRK, STRF, STRD, STRC. Also they have NO revenue to pay dividend on any of these preffered shares. So they will have to continue issuing new IPO to pay dividend on old IPO and buy more BC. sound familiar.

Honest question, what makes Bitcoin "real" and fiat (or altcoin) "trash"? Forgive my ignorance but just as quickly and aggressively as BC rises it (can) crash too. Isn't the majority of BC held only by a few wallets? Yet it's said to be not corruptable. How could both statements be true?

moisaxe

14 March 2024 = BC 6 June 2024 = UT 8 August = SOW 4 December = UTAD Now = UTAD in phase D ( Redistribution)

caspian_tiger

How much were they worth at the time? Right now 5 in USA would be about 55,000. I’d be lucky to find a newer SUV for that amount. What kind of car could you purchase with the 5 BC? I find this super interesting so I hope you don’t mind me asking.

Winkwink7

“Sending BTC on the Bitcoin network is taking longer than usual. Please be patient.“ Happens all the time and ties up funds for up to a week at times pending in outer space.  BC transactions charge way too many fees for this to always happen. Very volatile and unreliable way to bank imo. The frustration is not worth it and if transaction and convenience fees are charged then it should be convenient and work. 

Choice_Doctor_966

Why would I want to spend something that is going to potentially appreciate x value months after I spent it on something frivolous like porn? I could see cashing out BC to buy a house or re invest but using it as currency seems like a terrible financial choice.

billocity

Who would know? “I don’t want those shiny yellow rocks just pay me in pelts and fish” - someone in 1500 BC probably 😂

_none_so_vile_

There's definitely a We in my situation and I love it because we both give our extra cash to keep getting BC in our portfolio, since 201...

x0wl

Look, I agree with you. However, outside of the US (and Switzerland/Eurozone/Scandinavia), the general understanding is that USD is the correct way to store value (also EUR, but there are stables mirroring them too). Like, when a corrupt official is busted in Russia, they're busted with [stacks of USD/EUR, gold and real estate](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%BE,_%D0%94%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87), not rubles (because they see USD as the best way to discretely store value). While OP is in Brasil, I don't think their situation is THAT different. They want to make a profit in Reals after all. If OP wants a portfolio of stables, they can just do 40% USDC, 40% EURC, 20% PAXG, all on ETH, and then HODL.

tinned_peaches

In November’22 I inherited £20k and was going to put a lot of it towards Bitcoin. My dad was talking bad about it and it had just crashed quite a fair bit. He made me paranoid and I invested it all in premium bonds instead. During that time I’ve won a grand total of £750. If I’d have bought BC I’d be up by £106,000. So, thanks dad.

taizzle71

When Trump first announced the tariff BC dropped to 70k or so. I got scared and sold my entire bag worth a few hundred k's. Hurting.

Crypta_Silva

About 90% in Bitcoin. Would be more but Tesla shot up more than BC since I bought. Sold almost all other investments to go into Bitcoin (and some into a few altcoins) including retirement accounts (ETFS). Working out well so far.

Personal-Ebb-4717

for BC to go to 1M. somebody has to be willing to buy at 1M. Michael Saylor better step up with more stock offering to buy.

siasl_kopika

\> Unfortunately some players borrow usd, and buy BTC This is very very fortunate, for all of us. Its wonderful. \> They extract buying power from the system itself. For the good of all, instead of the normal reason that buying power is extracted (war, genocide) \> None of it has value in physical reality except for human beings self organized around the units. Welcome to the concept of money, vintage 5000BC. Its a network of value communication, and not actual wealth or value itself. \> If it’s not given to you, You mean, if you cant print it up electronically in your bank \> No matter how hard you work, you just lose the buying power, guaranteed. Until 2009, yes, fiat was an inescapable slave system. Now we have a bright shining exit door, and saylor is one of the heroes helping to hold the door open for all

belladonnatook

It is a good feeling. I paid off my house some years ago with most of my BC, and held onto one each for my three kids. I bought at $100 because of this subreddit, and I will always be grateful to reddit.

MichaelAischmann

Ben Cowen is BC - long forgotten.

TheSmithPlays

BC people only accept the absolute most bullish answer here lmao!

Straight_Spring9815

Then explain why it's growing in value other than intrinsically? It's easy for 100 people to gaslight 1 person into thinking this 1 apple is worth more than the rest but if that person can't eat the apple then what's the point? You literally beat around my point and spewed whatever that nonsense of a response is. When Walmart accepts BC for a TV then I will be able to reason with it. According to surveys 1.3% of the worlds population own BC, for arguments sake let's assume only 1% understand what it even is. This is all hype for a coin with no physical uses that most governments and businesses will not accept as a legitimate currency. Add the fact that 99% of the rest of the world doesn't care then from a traders stand point I wouldn't touch it with YOUR money. Shit is destined to end up like every other crypto. Especially when governments crack down then start to tax and regulate it. *Which WILL happen.* At that point the only thing it had going for it is now gone. I have been following crypto for quite a while. I made my money years back when ETH hit 400 dollars. Best of luck.

Straight_Spring9815

I am. If retail institutions arent even interested in receiving BC in exchange for services then what is the point? If I cant go buy groceries with it then the shit is useless. Only exists to be traded back and forth between a few hundred thousand people.

ExtremeAd995

Exact same thing bro I tried to get mine to let me buy 3 BC when it was around $3500 and I got so much shit it wasn't worth the hassle but now... lol I automatic buy every week a little but well you know.

ArthurBurtonMorgan

BitcoinII (BC2) wants to be a part of this. It’s a PoW blockchain.

CreamMoist

Financial advisors all say this BC they're trying to stay employed 😂😂😂

wathon2

zoom out. BC is heading to 1 Million+. It's still early, buy now and 100x your investment in a few years. The Big Beautiful Bill is the largest spending bill ever passed in history. It will add trillions to the spending deficit. How will the government pay for all these deficit spending? They either tax, tariff or print/borrow money. All of which will devalue the dollar and sky rocket inflation. Imagine waking up tomorrow , and your 500k saving in the bank that you worked your whole life for is not even enough to buy a McDonald meal. That is exactly what would happen with uncontrollable money printing and hyperinflation. We are heading toward late stage capitalism and the total collapse of the dollar. And I would rather hold 5 BC than holding 500k of monopoly money.

wh977oqej9

It's ancient pharaoh's wallet, who mined in 3000BC :-))

No-Floor1930

We can’t print silver copper and gold at least and if we’d stayed with it we wouldn’t need bitcoin. Paper money that can be printed out of thin air is the sole reason for BC it did I understood that wrong

northcasewhite

He sold most of his BTC for BCH and other alts. He is thought to have had 300,000 BC before that.

football2106

Could you imagine serving a decade+ sentence and learning how high BC is getting? The rises and plummets would be agonizing

Thatisnotthecase101

This is generally just a thought experiment. Thiel himself says that anonymity is important for the design so that it can function decentrally. However, should BC become systemically relevant, the person with the first coins would have an extraordinary new level of power. Together with what he does ATM in politics, it would fit well into his 4d chess. Cheers

blscratch

Ya they're talking about a short winter and a left translated cycle coming next. I don't want to trade with bad timing and end up with less BC.

wathon2

the downside risk is that it stays flat around 100-110k , and you are losing opportunity cost/interest earned if you had invested that money into the market. For example, NVDA ran up 50% in the last 2 months, but BC is still stuck around 100k.

shayKyarbouti

If you were born in 65 million years BC you’d be dead today

nomorelosses1

Yea and if I would have been born in 65 million years BC I would be a TRex.

arousedsquirel

BS, as for current situations, countries, and funds, are investing in BC. They are not investing in hope. They invest in a safer future equity stronger than a $. This to become romain coins (post somewhere in 2020/2021) will keep on attracting because of scarcity like predicted. The momentum was created by global acceptance, step by step, nothing else.

brewditt

All those borrowing against their BC…

americanherbman

I dont really care much about crypto/BC, but this sub started popping up in my feed, after spending a minimal amount of time here i am now convinced that crypto/BC will implode in some spectcular fashion and 95% of people here will lose everything they had in crypto/BC

Zazzy3030

You’re going to need a place to live, furniture, food, car/gas, medical insurance etc. get a job you want, get your four walls secured, sit tight to make sure your happy where your at and with what your doing, then develop a good investment plan. I’m assuming your young so you can take more risk but consider putting some of that cash in a less risky investment too, that way if you need emergency money, your not liquidating BC when it dips back for a hot minute. Also consider that if you’re getting that cash from a retirement account or home sale, you may have taxes due at the end of the year so be sure to ask about that situation in a tax forum.

Personal-Ebb-4717

pretty much. This is a step backward for crypto adoption. Now stores will think twice before opening a BC ATM.

Icabod14

CB Advanced is free - CB One has the fee. You can buy BC without the spread on CB Advanced. You'll still pay the fee but the 1% spread is eliminated.

Ok_Improvement_119

Just make a plan and buy BC for $100 every week, regardless the current price. Over time it will add up…

phattie242

I use BC Vault and Tangem Wallet

Kjpr13

I owned 600 BC years ago. I cashed out at 2k. Don’t feel bad.

GasLarge1422

What's the plan with all the BC that gets lost is wallets of people dying (i have a friend who died in like 2013 and probably has millions in shitcoin from drugs) nobody cares to try to get to it, but in like 50 more years won't everybody holding be dead or demented and they'll have had to create a new crypto that is capable of being traded and not locked in crypto vaults of dead ppl?

noncommonGoodsense

You guys are delusional. BC immediately dropped because of war funds being needed. Get out of your own asses.

noncommonGoodsense

lol where you think that chunk went there? Yeah BC is war chest.

djduni

And electricity was first discovered in 600BC. Are we discussing things that dont pertain to this argument for 600 or what? There was electricity prior to the US dollar being removed from the Gold Standard, that is significant because your argument is that without electricity Bitcoin ceases to hold value which is A, not true. As bitcoin can still be transferred without electricity, and B) In the event of no more electricity The US dollar would hold little to no practical value in the immediate aftermath. 1. (Most obvious reason) **Most dollars are digital** * Over **90% of U.S. dollars exist only as electronic ledger entries** — not physical cash. * No electricity = no ATMs, no online banking, no card transactions, no Venmo, no payroll, no wire transfers. * The economy would *instantly* grind to a halt. # 2. Physical cash might hold temporary value — but only briefly * In the **short term**, paper money could be bartered with — but only if the person you're trading with still believes it will someday be redeemable. * As time goes on, **physical goods (food, water, tools, ammo, medicine)** would become far more valuable than any currency. # 3. Faith-based system collapses * Fiat currency like the U.S. dollar **only holds value because people believe in its future usefulness**. You must continue to bring wars to other nations and steal their resources to have a useful US PETRO Dollar as it is literally nicknamed. * In a no-electricity scenario, **that belief vanishes quickly**, replaced by a barter economy or local currencies. # In a grid-down world: * **Useful commodities** are king: fuel, water filters, antibiotics, canned food, bullets. * **Gold/silver coins** may hold value in longer-term trade (but even that depends on reestablishing trust). * **Knowledge and skills** (mechanics, medics, electricians, gardeners) will be priceless.

Maleficent-Rate-4631

How long do you think it would take to mine that remaining BC?

freesoloc2c

Scary thing is, he doesn't know. So what's BC's actual value? 

firymeba

Report your case in a BC security firm! That's what I did for my own case, use [scams-report.io](http://scams-report.io/) & [chainabuse.com](http://chainabuse.com/), provide them order ID and all and they will contact them, i got my funds back after they sent them a letter (I had to \[bring KYC to Changelly still tho)

RevolutionaryStaff42

Not sure why anyone would ever sell their Bitcoin, your BC will always ultimately be worth more than the fiat you used to buy it. My ultimate goal of hodl'ing Bitcoin is to hold it forever and spend what I need to live off, similar to an investment account held by a broker. Would you sell your stocks when your portfolio hit 10 million? Or would you spend what you needed to live off and allow the balance to continue to print money in your sleep? So when Bitcoin hits 10 million/coin that will be great, but I'm still going to live off my Bitcoin just like it was any other day.

Left-Draft5083

The only thing that puts me off buying Bitcoin is the uncertainty, I know everyone here is 100% in and sold in BC but what will happen, just for example if everyone bought up all the BC on the market and held for like a decade.. what would happen to the price? Would it go to Zero?? Genuine question.

hackedfixer

The blockchain keeps all your transactions. When you sell in the future, the system will know what you bought and at what price just by tracing the transactions and with ai in banking now, you cannot hide by parsing multiple wallets etc. Just do it the right way. BC is a two edged sword. Transparency for all means no cheating for anyone, which is why we trust it.

Just whales pulling out to buy up stock market. Soon as it goes up profits will go back into BC. It keeps dropping more will leave crypto and that price will drop more. You see 63k it is a huge problem just like before. Luckily we never got to 63k on the last drop. Close tho.

The Bitcoin IS the real currency. Also just fyi for any of your future posts or responses, bitcoin is one word, so abbreviating it "BC" makes no sense.

EvolutionIsRight

Thank you for a very informative answer. Did you exchange dollars for BC, and then spend BC for a dollar denominated trade ? Do you think shopping like you do, is the most common reason for buying a BC ?

Amber_Sam

>I tried BC (a very small amount) and it made shopping a little more difficult. Can you describe this a little more difficult transaction? Because spending bitcoin is to me as easy as swiping a plastic card. And yes, I'm using Bitcoin almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ You can also spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.

EvolutionIsRight

I am not alone in distrusting something that the average guy hasn't gotten used to. Celebrate BC all you want, but it's a potential accident waiting to happen.

master-overclocker

Anything to convince yourselves BC not going down ... 😌

EvolutionIsRight

I tried BC (a very small amount) and it made shopping a little more difficult. What do people do with BC, except of course watch, and believe it will go up ? Owning a piece of software might be okay for awhile, but real currency should win out over time.

master-overclocker

OK. Downvote me. Mark my words.. BC is going to drop 25% at least !

What is the late stage in gold? 3000BC? 1750? 1980? 2023?

SunnyDay27

It’s been happening since 1970’s… get your Bitcoin before the next 10x … Pension funds, state funds, countries all adding to balance sheet, VP Vance owns $500k of BC and disclosed at BC conference this week, crypto friendly administration. Buy through an ETF … best asset class in 15 years … not financial advice, of course 😉

noncommonGoodsense

It’s funny because cause no one will benefit from them besides those involved in the group scam. The corruption is why people can’t be enthusiastic with bribery and laundering, whale volatility and the like. Just curious how many BC do you have? Is it enough to benefit? I doubt it. You don’t run a hedge fund or have billions already. BC is centralized and malleable just like the stock market. Anyone who doesn’t see that now has blinders on. Can you benefit? Sure. Won’t be as much as the consolidation groups. It’s a vehicle to concentrate money from those with less to those who can never have enough. It’s a game these people know all too well how to win, the last coin won’t be held by you. Just make sure you take profit.

Alone-Emergency2341

NefariousnessBorn839

BC hits it's highest price ever!? It was crushed under the last administration. Why would it get better after Trump?

the_tral

to be fair the USD has declined so much that the gain in USD is less about BC gaining value and more about conversion rate being better now. Look at BC from most other countries in the world were still not at ATH.

fresheneesz

Gold has never been an investment, but rather a store of value. It retained its value almost precisely for thousands of years. An ounce of gold in 500 BC could buy 350 loaves of bread. An ounce of gold today can buy 600. You'd expect this because its cheaper to make bread today with all our tools and innovation.

ComplexButterfly95

Vancouver, BC minimum $1.8 million and that would be in East Vancouver.

Prints_of_Whatever

Iirc the first purchase with BC was pizza 🤔 tho I technically think it was an exchange. Someone just wanted to see it used and to prove it was viable and offered strangers online BC at its going rate at the time if they ordered pizza for him.
