Post is by: Huge_Position890 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://bitdataview.com/ \- \*\*Where we left off.\*\* Two weeks ago I posted about our live "order absorption" card. When a big taker order pushes the price, 2 minutes later the move has either faded (absorbed) or held (pierced). About half fade, half stick. I ended by saying I couldn't show it predicts anything. \- \*\*What I did.\*\* I rebuilt the card's exact logic on Binance's public trade files and made a ledger of every big order: 1,045,082 orders on BTC, ETH and SOL, Apr 2023 – Sep 2026. \- \*\*Coin flip, three and a half years later.\*\* The median day still sits at 49.9% absorbed. \- \*\*The pre-registered question:\*\* when an order pierces, does the price keep going? \*\*No, it gives a little back.\*\* About −1 bp over the next 15 minutes (t −3.6 for pierced minus absorbed) and −1.8 bp over an hour. Absorbed orders stay put. \- Same sign on all three coins; clear after the spot ETFs. \- \*\*Size of it:\*\* 1–2 bp against 20 bp of round-trip fees. Not a trade. It changes how to read "the wall just broke". **The ledger** \- \*\*Source:\*\* Binance publishes every aggregated trade at [data.binance.vision](http://data.binance.vision), with checksums. \- \*\*Same logic as the card:\*\* each hour, the top 1% of trades by size in the first 50 minutes. Look 5 seconds later (did it push the price?) and 120 seconds later (did the push fade?). \- \*\*Check:\*\* for 20 October, 124 of the live card's 137 windows came out identical. The other 13 were within 3 orders; the live job starts its window a few seconds off. \- \*\*Sample:\*\* \- the 8th and 22nd of every month, Apr 2023 – Sep 2026: 84 days; \- BTC, ETH, SOL: 252 coin-days. \- \*\*Why not earlier:\*\* Binance's zero-fee BTC period (Jul 2022 – Mar 2023) inflated trade counts, so it's skipped. The three-week coin flip from the last post holds over three and a half years: median day 49.9%. \*\*One correction to the last post.\*\* I said the per-pair rows in a single hour are "best read as noise". I've since checked against 30 days of the live card. Hours swing about three times more than sampling noise alone would allow, so some hours really are different. Only the thin rows (fewer than \~30 orders) are about half noise. **The test** The natural reading of "pierced" is that a wall broke and the price will run. \- \*\*My research partner\*\* expected exactly that, from watching the card during a rally. \- \*\*I wasn't sure.\*\* Big orders tend to be followed by more orders the same way, which pushes for continuation. But the last post also found that a big trade's impact peaks around 120 seconds and then decays. A price that is still far out at that point may just be impact that hasn't faded yet. Written down and committed before computing anything: \- \*\*Measure:\*\* the price move from 2 minutes after the order to 15 minutes later, in the order's direction. Each price is a 10-second volume-weighted average, to soften bid-ask bounce. \- \*\*Statistic:\*\* pierced minus absorbed, averaged per coin-day, then over the 84 days. Newey–West t. \- \*\*Calls:\*\* \- t ≥ 2 → continuation; \- t ≤ −2 → reversal; \- in between → nothing. \- \*\*Null:\*\* within each coin-day, shift the label sequence in time. This keeps the clustering of pierced and absorbed orders but breaks their link to the future. \- \*\*Power, checked first:\*\* with no real effect the test fires 5.0% of the time; a 0.5 bp difference is caught 88% of the time. \- \*\*Predictions:\*\* \- partner: continuation; \- me: continuation 40%, nothing 35%, reversal 25%. **Result** | next 15 minutes | move in the order's direction | |---|---| | after \*\*pierced\*\* orders | \*\*−1.06 bp\*\* (t −3.0) | | after \*\*absorbed\*\* orders | +0.04 bp (t 0.2) | | \*\*difference\*\* | \*\*−1.47 bp, t −3.6\*\* (null 95%: 2.1) | \- \*\*Per coin:\*\* BTC −1.1 bp (t −3.2), ETH −1.1 (t −1.9), SOL −2.2 (t −2.9). \- \*\*ETFs:\*\* after the spot ETFs, −1.6 bp (t −3.5). Before them it points the same way, but there are only 19 days (t −1.2). \- \*\*60 minutes:\*\* pierced orders give back 1.8 bp; the difference is −2.3 bp (t −2.5). Both of us missed. Reversal was my least likely call. **Reading it** \- \*\*"Pierced" at 2 minutes is not a breakout signal.\*\* On average part of that extra move fades. This fits the decay found last time. \- \*\*Why can't I tell the cause?\*\* Two explanations fit equally well: temporary impact decaying, or the 2-minute price being slightly "too far out" and drifting back. Either way, the extra move fades. \- \*\*The bounce isn't doing it.\*\* On BTC and ETH, bid-ask bounce is far below 0.1 bp, so it can't produce this. SOL's coarser tick may add a little. \- \*\*In a rally, prices keep going anyway.\*\* That's the trend, not the piercing. Trending days are in the sample, and the average still comes out as "gives back". **Mistake** \- \*\*One of my pre-registered side cuts looked ahead.\*\* It was "remove each hour's drift". The hour's average included the very price moves that define the labels, which pushed the result down mechanically (t −11). \- \*\*Discarded and logged.\*\* The main test isn't affected: each order's window starts after its own 2-minute mark. **Limits** \- 3 large coins, one exchange, 2 days a month. \- Orders within an hour aren't independent; inference is per day for that reason. \- 1–2 bp is far below fees. This describes price behaviour; it isn't an edge. \*Not financial advice. This is a research log.\* *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I'm stupid so I want to understand; are you suggesting that DOD / US Govnt might nationalize Open/Anthropic to offset the USD fall-out / printing USD into oblivion? China has accumulated a decent amount of Gold, Russia with Brics (potentially hidden BTC stash) ; wouldn't be "counter-productive" for US economy to make those "hard assets" go up?
Yeah, these people are nuts. I've had my plate for 8 years now and I love it because its a great conversation starter. People always ask some version of how much btc I paid for my car. When people see the plate, the most common assumption is that I bought my car with BTC proceeds. Hard to get robbed for btc I dont have because I spent it all on my vehicle.
Ok, I guess, just saying, it's of no comfort to me that BTC can't go to zero, but can go to $200 or whatever. That's effectively the same thing for me.
Lost wallets would not prevent BTC from reaching zero. BTC's value is simply a function how how much people are willing to pay for it. There is no mathmatical equation that derives BTC price outside of supply and demand. If demand goes away, it doesn't matter how much supply there is.
i read it again and realized i misunderstood, sorry :) so this is a liquidity issue, right? if there’s no liquidity, does that mean nobody will be able to sell BTC or is that not how it works?

Buying BTC right now is gambling—it’s no different from trading contracts.
The idea is currencies are controlled by central banks and governments who print more and more and aim for 2% inflation BTC has a fixed supply, which in reality is reducing (lost keys etc) and therefore cannot be printed Therefore becomes rarer (and harder) so maintains its value against FIAT
Coinbase and Kraken are two popular options for buying BTC in the U.S. Both are worth checking out, depending on fees, security, and availability in your state.
Oh fuck, I had no clue it marked the beginning of the most vertical leg of the cycle. My thought is McDonalds is re-releasing this based on economic conditions they see that also happen to help risk assets like BTC run. There must be something to it, because the decision to release the McRib is always going to be a strategic one based on when they think they can maximize profit on it.

welcome to the party pal. i believe in you. keep putting as much as you can in BTC 💪🏻
Daily dose of helpful tips ... Forks hold value for three reasons: liquidity (once listed on major exchanges with spot/futures, market makers and funds need inventory, which creates a price floor independent of adoption), sticky ideological holders (ETC exists because people rejected the DAO bailout, BCH because people rejected small blocks, that's a real constituency, not a duplicate), and cheap optionality (a fork is a lottery ticket on the parent's brand, priced at a few percent, not zero). None of that makes them good investments. "Has a reason to be nonzero" and "will outperform BTC" are different claims, and the fork premium tends to decay as the ideological base ages out and liquidity consolidates into the parent.
Yes—if a coworker sees your payslip, a distinctive BTC amount can help identify your output despite a fresh address. Another approach is to make the payment inside the CoinJoin: Wasabi supports this with ordinary on-chain receiving addresses, not Silent Payment addresses. The employee's payment then shares a transaction with other participants' outputs, rather than appearing in a standalone company payroll batch. Amounts remain public, so an exact payslip match can still be a clue, but the other outputs are no longer necessarily coworkers' salaries. Is your concern mainly identifying one employee's payment, or exposing the rest of the payroll amounts together?
Blockchain was one of the most prominent “exchanges” 10 years ago. I It was the first place I bought BTC. You get some weird ass string of letters and numbers you need to write down, in case your are logged out and can’t use your credentials. This is not your private address, it’s a Blockchain.com ID. So it’s basically a hot wallet, where they hold the keys for you, but refuses to hand them over if you can’t locate your credentials or your ID. There’s been so many cases of theft, lost access and maybe even insider fraud which has led to everyone keep saying “don’t use them”.
dude the transaction fee is not separate, it is baked right into every BTC movement. a certain number of satoshi per kilobyte, depending on the mempool and how many unconfirmed TX are waiting to be mined/confirmed. this “percentage” shit, and it being separate? that reeks of scamdom. do you have a TXID for these supposed withdrawals? paste it here. i’d be amazed if you saw anything at all, bit if there was a movement of BTC to your wallet then there’ll be public record of it. and please don’t tell me that you are trying to withdraw bitcoin into a wallet that somebody else had any part in setting up. If they have your seed phrase or private key then that wallet is not truly yours and is insecure and any funds that you get can be magically taken away right from under your nose with absolutely zero recourse. if you need a wallet that you hold the keys to in a hurry I would download cake from the App Store and put it to use. It works on many platforms and you hold the private key and seed phrases and it’s compatible with most crypto actually. pretty rad lil wallet. Then any sort of transaction where you’re receiving bitcoin, you can put it in a place where nobody has access to it.
its wild that my GPU miners are roughly 10x as profitable now as that ASIC. Time to turn those shitcoins into BTC (and winter heat also).
A payslip can do the matching too: if it lists the exact BTC amount, a fresh address won't stop coworkers from picking your output out of the batch.
Just use non-KYC exchanges and swap your BTC for USDC or USDT. Then transfer smaller amounts of your USDC to a crypto debit card (such as Krak card) and use it for your daily spendings.
Yeah , BTC has caused a lot of problems for people in their personal lives.
Maybe you are looking at the wrong altcoins. "Alt" coins are good for trading. There will always be a bunch of them that would be the flavor of the month, or week. The problem is identifying which one is going to be next week's winner in advance. Some people are good at trading these coins - or rather, gambling on these coins. But it's useless to compare them to BTC. Bitcoin is forever - it's the only one good for long-term investment and hodling.
Buy pokemon cards with BTC, sell poke for cash, this is the way
It's measurable, so I measured it. Top 100 by market cap, minus stablecoins and wrapped or staked copies, every coin priced in BTC instead of dollars: \- Last 30 days: 20 of 48 beat BTC, and the median alt is down about 3% against it. So yes, lately. \- The two months before that, late July to late September: 35 of 51 beat BTC, median up about 6%. That stretch went the other way. \- Last 12 months: 13 of 44 beat BTC, median down about 14%. Zcash and Monero are among the few clear winners. \- Longer run: the median alt is 88% below its all-time high in BTC terms, and 30 of 65 set that high before 2022. Of the 11 that made a new high against BTC in the last 12 months, 10 only appeared in 2024 or later, so they had no old high to beat. (Counts differ: a few coins are too new for the 12-month window, and some, like DOGE, SHIB and PEPE, are priced too small in BTC for clean daily ratios, so they are left out of the window stats.) So "lately" depends on the window. The last month is weak, the two months before it weren't, and the multi-year gap is the bigger story. None of that says what happens next. Caveat on the cut: I work at Coinpaprika and this comes from our ticker data, so if you'd draw the alt list differently, say how and I'll rerun it.
Collateralized lending I’ve been doing it for years and when setup correctly (consult an accountant), you can not only pay 0 tax on BTC sales (because there aren’t any) you also can write off the interest payments against earned income.
and what’s why we ditched BTC and the whole segwit poison pill and the LN hot garbage and stuck with BCH (Bitcoin’s original design and scaling path)
My parents and siblings, BTC was around 5-6€ a pop first time i bought. I hear that it was indeed a stronger currency than the Euro or the Pound (🤦♂️), but no-one, not even the familie’s absolute code-boss who used to work for mil-intel (now retired for years) did understand blockchain - rather he technically got it right away but couldn’t make out a use-case and would dismiss the examples i’s give. Others tried to laugh me off the table. The latter, more remote family, now have taken a keen interest in me since last year 😂
From a quick online search, this seems to be a good investment only if you expect Bitcoin to stay rangebound for a long time. Since it sells covered calls for income, it will underperform BTC (or plain vanilla spot BTC ETFs) in times of rapid appreciation. And because it takes leveraged exposure to Bitcoin ETFs, it will amplify losses in times of rapid drops.
Op is doing a manual count and missing some things, the infographic is pulling directly from node data so they are not same inputs Your math is basically taking total outputs and subtracting things that are already excluded from the 195k number. The infographic already filtered out miners and consolidations before counting, so you double subtracted them Also change outputs go back to sender so they should not count as new addresses getting 1 BTC anyway. That is why real number is lower I do data cleanup for work and this happens all time, people subtract same category twice without noticing

No it's not.... Do you understand how the ledger system works on BTC, Russia just outlawed crypto transactions amongst its people, everybody can see the ledger, so unless you engage in a convoluted scheme (transaction costs) to hide yourself, it's quite useless
If you bought BTC, and lost 3% immediately and you post about it on Reddit... you clearly didn't do any research into BTC before buying it.
When 1 BTC was worth $150, I decided I'd take HALF of all of my BTC and try investing with altcoins! I mean, what could go wrong? (I lost all of that BTC to pump and dumps, having no clue what I was doing)
Wait so any BTC i hold longer than 12 months is LTCG?
It’s a big boys’ game now, and the big boys do not voluntarily hand over to retail investors the kinds of returns that bitcoin has had for most of its history. YouTubers with their “retire off 0.25BTC” videos and what not have done retail investors no favors. You’re not retiring *anywhere* off 6 months of a minimum wage salary. Bitcoin will keep its OGs rich, and perhaps provide modest appreciation for rich latecomers and not-that-rich others who managed to snag a vaguely meaningful amount when the price was a lot lower. If you’re someone of modest means who wants to see a windfall off a modest investment, that may still be possible, but it’s going to take a *fuck ton* more time than you want it to. The question then becomes, what multiple do you need to get rich? Assuming you’re not already rich, you probably need at least a 5x if not 10x. Well, a 5x will probably take at least 5 years. 10x? Closing in on a decade. Need 20x or 30x? Multiple decades. To the extent anyone got in big and realized a windfall in a couple of years, those days are long gone. Sober up. Big money has entered the chat, and while you might be early in the very long-term grand scheme of this experiment, you’re definitely not early in the short-to-medium term. If you’re young and not that rich, buy some and count on having to hold it for a decade or two for it to become worth anything meaningful. If you’re old and not that rich, buy some for your children and/or grandchildren. If you’re rich and don’t already own any, buy a meaningful amount (e.g. >1%) as a hedge against the rest of your fiat-based assets. Whichever of those you are, though, it’s a “set it and forget it” kind of investment. The market is not, within a short time frame, going to make you happy you bought it. That is kind of how it goes - and how it’s always went - with this particular asset. If that isn’t amenable to you, then bitcoin is not the right investment for you.
Use https://lava.xyz to get a USDC loan against your BTC, no tax hit
Did no one not mention BTC's volatility to you?
This is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but has anyone done the math to figure out ROI, break even time-frames, etc? Are we better off just buying $900 of BTC?
River is a pretty standard and legitimate exchange. You probably triggered some esoteric finCIN flag. Financial institutions won’t tell you what you did that was wrong. 99% certain you will get your money back after some set amount of time. Something like this happened to me when I first started looking for an exchange. In my case it was Swan that locked my account and made me wait 30 or 60 days ( I can’t remember) before I could withdraw my BTC. It just happens to some people, and it’s not fair, but you’ll find an exchange that works for you.
Solana destroyed the crypto community, BTC maximilist were right.
If I was to drop $$ for a full BTC I would do it over 4-8 months.
Absolutely not, BTC to zero 😂
So when it crashes another 50 percent before end of the year , tap your self on the back. Keep your BTC, I’ll keep my future.
I would have tried to minimize the tax loss on my BTC sales. Unfortunately, I dropped my seed phrase out of an airplane over the Pacific and have not been able to access my BTC since :( I just hope some lucky fisherman caught it
Welcome to the club, I am not even at . 1 BTC and days like this just mean that my $10 daily purchase gets me a fraction more :)
The cool thing is the amount of BTC you have doesn’t change regardless of the price. Sometimes your $200 a week gets you a lot of Bitcoin sometimes only a little.
Continua escolhendo e compra ALT + BTC todas vezes.
He literally bought 4$ of BTC lol
fuck, bro. Save some BTC for the rest of us. I don't get paid until tomorrow!!
Everything bleeds to bitcoin, even the BTC ETFs/Treasuries will eventually bleed to btc.
The 2017-2020 buyers that borrow from their BTC are still smugly silent at thanksgiving. Especially the ones that live overseas now. Let the doubters doubt. You already lived 10 years doing whatever you wanted without a worry. Even if BTC crashes now, you still got 10 younger years of fun and no stress.
When will you people finally just give it up?! What do you really think BTC means
OP just crashed the whole crypto not just BTC. anyway: adding more
Alts are basically BTC with the volume turned up. It drops a little, they drop double, it pumps and they barely move. BTC dominance has been stuck around 58-60% for most of the year and the altseason index hasn't gone anywhere near 75. I'm mostly BTC and ETH now, the rest isn't worth the stress.
Nope, Trump is about to lose the senate, dems will take over, wars will end, oil will go down, everything will send hard BTC 40k end of this year is really really really bad market analysis im ngl send me more of your calls ill counter trade them
That's BTC initiation! And get use to it because it always goes down right when you buy 🫠
I remember when I used to buy a small amount of BTC through cash app. It spikes the price up like 3% momentarily, plus it's "spread" and fees. It'll even say you bought it at a way higher price than it even was for the entire week 😭
Interesting historical parallel at least for gold: the London Gold Pool (1961–1968). Eight Western central banks coordinated gold sales to keep its price at $35/oz and support the Bretton Woods system. It collapsed in March 1968 under sustained market pressure. Now imagine a Bitcoin equivalent: central banks accumulating BTC, then eventually coordinating sales to manage its price and protect the existing monetary order.
BTC is trash. Biggest scam of our generation
You will loose even more BTC will go 40K until end of the year
Disclosure, I am a Casa employee, so I'm biased, but will give you my genuine thoughts. TLDR: I think it's a great pick for multisig (more on this below), and I'd put our security team (Jameson Lopp is our co-founder and CSO) up against anyone in the Bitcoin space. I particularly think that the private aspect of it is commendable and one of the more underrated reasons to use Casa. The main thing to figure out when evaluating Casa (or any multisig provider really), is how much help you need. In Casa, that comes down to comparing Standard vs Premium membership plans. Standard is more DIY, and Premium gets you more keys, hardware mailed to you, and our team walking you through setup (and ongoing check-ins, video verification calls, etc etc). I wrote this a bit back that breaks down the difference between Standard and Premium: [https://blog.casa.io/standard-vs-premium/](https://blog.casa.io/standard-vs-premium/) The biggest selling point for me (before I was hired to work at Casa) was their privacy policy. In the era of data breaches becoming much more common, the LAST place I wanted to work at was a place that was a honeypot of data on sovereign individuals; that just sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. You can sign up w/ no KYC and pay in BTC (something I do as an employee), and pairing that w/ a burner Proton email keeps your PII way more locked down than most services. Happy to answer any other questions you might have.
If you just bought BTC you are helping the smart money get out of this worthless investment at a nice profit. Keep buying, it will all be great.
Monero is up 2x against BTC this year. Maybe y'all should pick some better coins.
🚨🚨 BITCOIN HAS COLLAPSED. FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN JEOPARDY. 🚨🚨 Bitcoin just dropped $3. THAT’S A WHOLE 0.003% OR WHATEVER. THE CHART IS RED. THE VIBES ARE WORSE. 🚨 SELL YOUR HOUSE. SELL YOUR CAR. SELL YOUR CLOTHES. SELL YOUR WIFE. (She’s probably already in a 100x leveraged short.) The institutional investors are panicking. Whales are crying. Satoshi has been spotted updating his résumé on LinkedIn. My $47 portfolio is down $0.14. I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS. 🚨 EMERGENCY FED MEETING AT WENDY’S PARKING LOT IN 10 MINUTES. If BTC drops another $2, we’re reverting to a barter economy. Start stockpiling canned beans and USB-C cables. IT WAS AN HONOR LOSING MONEY WITH YOU ALL. 🫡📉 #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoCrash #HODL #WeAreSoBack
No you have to buy BTC ETFs.
1. volatile asset 2. buy/sell spread on BTC --> You will almost always lose money when you buy
Whoa save some BTC for the rest of us
Fair question. Each row is what's left after that filter, not what gets subtracted: - 279,433 unspent 1+ BTC outputs from the last year - minus 438 miner payouts = 278,995 - minus 45,619 consolidations (10+ inputs) and change = 233,376 - keep only addresses that got 1-3 of these (drops 31,171 going to busy addresses, mostly exchanges and services) = 202,205 So the last row is the strictest cut, not a sum.
Post is by: Nhiago_cchaves and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1xcous0/próximo_bitcoin/ Boa tarde galera. Vou jogar 50 reais fora tentando apostar na próxima cripto q vai crescer igual o BTC. Vou deixar lá por 10 anos e ver o q acontece. Alguém tem uma sugestão? Tava pensando em Arbitrum, Hype ou aave. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Kind of. This is the classic case for self custody. I like Swan BTC’s ethos: they actively encourage you to self custody and not treat their exchange like a wallet. But yeah, keys and coins and such- scrutinize everything. Just because it has a nonthreatening domain like blockchain.com or crypto.com doesn’t mean it’s not a threat to your funds.
Wholly mama. In general there is only one pool of liquidity, it follows the path of least resistance and in effect it is used to collect liquidity to use when alt coin season is ripe. Works like this. BTC is used to attract stuck (in alt coins) and new liquidity. Which means BTC marketing shakes out bagholder liquidity from alts and atteacts outside new money to prop up and pump btc price. Once this process is exhausted then they use all of this collected liquidity to pump alts. Don’t go against the stream. But if you’re stuck in an alt bagholding. Sit tight its turn will come but watching btc pump is very emotionally difficult while stuck bagholding some random shitcoin.
u/slortpoittom Absolutely! The foundation has donation addresses. Please find two QR codes for BTC and Lightning donations added above in the thread as Reddit does not allow attachments in comments.
Multi-sig is one of those Bitcoin features that sounds complicated until you realize what problem it actually solves: you don’t have to trust a single private key with everything. For serious holdings, that change in the security model is huge. The interesting part is that multi-sig doesn’t eliminate risk — it changes where the risk lives. Now you have to think about key distribution, backups, recovery and what happens if one signer disappears. Security is rarely about finding a perfect solution; it’s about removing the easiest way to lose everything. How many people here actually use multi-sig for their BTC?
Yes sell and move to BTC
Banking scaled over time to what it is today. That said, simplified it’s the managing of debits and credits. Could you do the scale of what exists today by hand? No. But that wasn’t the debate. The comment was about if electricity went away. If that happened banks would change their operations but continue to exist in some capacity. To simply change the cryptography standards of BTC as you propose would require a hard fork, nodes would have to adopt new consensus rules, and existing ASIC miners might become useless. Bitcoin’s security model relies on making block solving computationally expensive so doing that would also reduce BTC security. So sure you could choose a simpler cryptography algorithm and make it easier. But good luck doing that without electricity and by hand. If you don’t have a small home miner, it’s worth checking out for learning. You can also set up a BTC node if you have an ssd with \~700gb of space. These are great ways to participate in the blockchain process and get some hands on knowledge.
Can Schwab hold your BTC like any other exchange?
Whatever platform you buy from. Make sure you can withdrawl the BTC to your own personal wallet. Some platforms hold it for you and wont let you withdraw as BTC. NO WAY. Not your private keys, not your bitcoin.
Certain jurisdictions accept Bitcoin or are contemplating accepting BTC for taxes, so taxes doesn’t hold that argument, tbf
Those are hardly unique to Bitcoin- cash enables those behaviors too. BTC is uniquely able to transfer value across boundaries that are normally under the thumb of overbearing governments and corporate monopolies. Immigrants sending remittances to family back home is one of the biggest examples of this.
BTC at $81K now . That $83K breakout feels like a different story. Is this just a healthy pullback before the next leg up or are we heading lower? 🚀
Maybe one day we won’t have out of touch elderly people representing special interests instead of the people. Why you care so much Liz? Who is bending your ear to regulate free enterprise? Big banks and finance? They want us kept as debt slaves BTC scared the establishment
Because by 2030 that 1 BTC is probably worth way more than now, supply is getting small and demand keeps going up simple math
Manually entered a receiving address instead of just copy/pasting; had a dyslexic moment and swapped 2 characters incorrectly... Sent $200 worth of BTC to oblivion (or some very lucky, unsuspecting recipient). Happened in 2017-2018 🙃 Copy/paste your addresses folks, and double/triple check them!
Honestly the boring advice is the right one: only put in what you'd be fine losing, stick to BTC/ETH while you learn, and move coins off the exchange once the amount starts to matter. Everything else you'll pick up by watching the market for a few months.
The government, which is elected and backed by the people. Yes, bitcoin could be that, but then the value of USD will go down even faster, and big wrong things would happen. And, you know - bitcoin is just the new printer that wants to replace the old printer, and it has slightly different software. also, new printer was built by a new group of people who think they want to stop the old group of people with the old printer. Now, people's savings, thinking, earnings, everything is officially kept in USD. Not in BTC. And it will be so for the foreseeable future, while some people who believe in the new printer will play with the new printer and hope it some day becomes the main printer or the only printer. BUT, the old group with the old printer might also not want to give up their printing system, and will be updating software too. So it comes own to how many people back which printer and also which printer is currently official.
Aight, everyone saying dollar is backed by x or bitcoin is backed by x: where can I go to redeem dollars or bitcoins for a commensurate amount of x? Does someone keep a stash of those things ready to be traded out? Where do I go to redeem $100 worth of "faith and credit? or "superpower?" or "aircraft carriers?" or 0.002 BTC worth of electricity? Is someone holding $1.65 trillion worth of gigawatts to be immediately exchanged for all of BTC in circulation? Who is holding all these things and where? Is there a form to fill out during the exchange? Can I get $8.58 worth of "the military" on demand? It's kinda one major definition of what it means to be "backed by" is. That you can go and get it.
