Well you don’t own BTC if you’re investing through an ETF. And if it’s with an ETF, it’s on a CEX. During the financial crisis, companies weren’t stealing peoples stocks. Self-custody is great, been doing it since 2018. But with self-custody, you can still get hacked (Coldcard), you can expose yourself through negligence or just bad practice, you can forget your password, lose your pass phrase. It’s all a risk, I still opt for self-custody. But buying an ETF through a CEX does look more and more attractive than custody imo. If my account says $0. I have numbers I can call

Agree. Bank-managed money works because banks handle macro-level resource allocation, which backs up trust in their system. For crypto like BTC to have real, lasting value, it needs a similar layer of real-world resource integration. As long as crypto relies on traditional market infrastructure for real-world settlement, this friction isn't going away.

This was not a question of luck, it was a strategy. I had more pain with the idea to miss out on buying cheap than to miss on another 10% discount. I bought .25 BTC which is much money for me.

I think this is a fun idea , with potential but after BTC has just rallied i would 1. Wait for it to come down, it always does as a liquidity grab then enter 2.

So tell me, what is the actual link between a chain’s development (SOL/ETH) and its coin price going up? What is their true purpose beyond paying transaction fees? When a chain hits all-time highs across various metrics, how does that performance actually convert into value for token holders? If you use SOL or ETH as collateral to borrow money, the liquidation risk is exceptionally high because they can easily lose 70% of their value within a single year. Staking is essentially just supply dilution—if staking rewards were paid out in USDT, I’d view it differently. Besides collateral and fee payments, why else would anyone buy SOL or ETH? Cut the boilerplate talk about "infrastructure." The Solana chain is a great venue for transferring funds and tokenizing assets, but I can use the network without holding a massive stack of SOL. If you look at it honestly, aren't people just buying SOL, waiting for it to pump to $300, and dumping it onto the next person? The same goes for ETH. BTC has absolute scarcity—something that has never truly existed in human history—which is why it holds value. Meanwhile, SOL and ETH are minted every single day. Furthermore, just pull up a weekly (1W) chart or higher. A real growth asset shouldn't have a chart as ugly as SOL, ETH, or the rest of the crypto market. Look at the charts of actual revenue-generating growth stocks like GOOGL, AAPL, META, or even KO—*that* is what a real growth asset looks like. In reality, SOL and ETH are just trading in a massive range: SOL between $8 and $290+, ETH between $1,400 and $4,900. It’s been six years and they still can't break out of this range, which is terrible. Sure, you can still turn a profit by buying at the bottom of the range and selling on the way up to the peak, but isn't that just buying and waiting to dump it on someone dumber than you?

It doesn't need more use cases, but it needs more adoption of its existing use cases.  Mainly that means more use as a payment network. IMO the holy grail will be stealth BTC payments. That being a system in which you can spend BTC in aanner that interoperates with any traditional fiat rail. Square is giving us a taste of this so far. You can spend BTC over lightning, and a square merchant will accept the payment, receive fiat, and never know or care you used BTC. PlebQR is based in Thailand, and let's you fulfill a fiat QR payment request with BTC, basically through a p2p exchange where another user pays your fiat bill and receives your BTC. Once this basic concept proliferates more, there will be zero convenience cost for Bitcoiners to spend it. You can easily get paid and spend in BTC, and you won't have to bother with finding BTC merchants or asking "do you accept Bitcoin?" This is how Bitcoin hits the next phase of growth, to sustain a floor well into the six figures. If Bitcoin advocates have the ability to live fully on a BTC standard, things will really start to pick up. I also think stablecoin payments long term are huge for BTC. Not only because stables can operate natively on lightning, but because psychologically it moves people closer to how BTC payment UX feels. Governments will push stablecoin adoption to subsidize demand for US treasuries but it long term plays into our hands.

Okay let me know your thoughts about BTC when you come back from the shitter

>Crypto can survive without ETH, I'm not sure it can survive without BTC. God, I don't really know... the Ethereum blockchain was the first one hosting stablecoins, and I think the crypto space wouldn't be the same without USDT/USDC. So I don't really know if crypto could survive without ETH.

I bought up aggressively in the 60k range, even was scooping up in the 50k range as well. However, I kept some cash in reserve for a possible slightly lower low or at least a revisit to the low 60ks. It's great to see the crypto market get some life in it again, but the reality is that this looks like a poor time to be making some big moves. The bears who shorted BTC got absolutely wrecked, but those buying back in thinking the bear market is officially over and that it's game on may also be setting themselves up for some pain in the not too distant future. Patience

Its a common scam for crypto noobies. The wallet pulls the public price from some random website without realizing that the trading volume is literally $0. When you decide to "cash in" your fake coins for BTC it'll require you to pay some ETH/bTC/SOL transfee fees to get it. You pay the transfer/transaction fee to "sell" it and nobody ends up buying it because it has zero volume. It's just a scam to get you to pay some transfer fee that they keep, leaving you with nothing

Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >

Gold was the ultimate form of money for most of recorded human history, and money is very useful. The reason that it has the value which it does now is because of its historical use as money, and to a significant extent it’s price reflects a market-implied probability that it will be used as such again (for good reason). BTC, on the other hand, has no such history and has had a near zero probability of becoming money since the Blockstream hostile takeover.

I’m not saying the quantum-computing argument should be ignored. Quite the opposite — I think it’s a legitimate long-term risk that Bitcoin holders should be paying attention to. But if I were looking at BTC with a **10+ year investment horizon**, I personally wouldn’t sell solely because of the quantum argument. The question for me isn't really *“Can quantum computers eventually threaten Bitcoin?”* I think the answer to that is potentially yes. The more important question is: **“Can Bitcoin upgrade its cryptography before quantum computers become capable of exploiting the existing system?”** Those are two very different questions. Bitcoin developers aren't ignoring this. There are already proposals being discussed around post-quantum protection, including **BIP-360 and BIP-361**. That doesn't mean Bitcoin has solved the problem — far from it. These are still works in progress, and there are some pretty significant technical and governance questions that need to be worked out. But that's exactly why I'd rather **monitor the development than panic-sell based on a prediction about when quantum computing becomes practical.** If I were holding BTC for 10+ years, I'd add **“Bitcoin quantum readiness”** to my annual investment checklist. I'd be watching: • BIP-360/BIP-361 development • Post-quantum signature proposals • Bitcoin Core implementation • Consensus around migrating vulnerable coins • Wallet/exchange/custodian support • Actual progress in cryptographically relevant quantum computing Two places I'd recommend anyone interested in this topic bookmark: [Bitcoin BIPs GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [Delving Bitcoin developer forum](https://delvingbitcoin.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) I'd personally become much more concerned if we got to a point where **quantum computing was advancing faster than Bitcoin's ability to implement and adopt a quantum-resistant solution.** That's the risk I'd be watching. Until then, I view quantum computing as **a legitimate risk to monitor, not an automatic reason to sell.** And obviously, that's just my personal investment framework — not financial advice.

The scary scenario isn't simply BTC dumping, it's a successful attack making people question whether the system can actually protect funds.

Fee's are driven by usage. High fees reduce micro Transactions, to slow down congestion when the network is busy. It's supply and demand logic just on chain. If as you describe that fee's are so high, why would someone use BTC over a wire transfer or any other kind of settlement like stable coin.

Your instinct is already pretty solid here. BTC and ETH aren't really competing for the same job, which is probably why the choice feels harder than it should. BTC is basically built to be the "buy it and leave it" asset, fixed supply, longest track record, nothing you really need to keep tabs on. If low-stress and long-term is genuinely the goal, that's exactly the profile it's built for. ETH is a different kind of bet. You're not just holding it hoping the price goes up, you're holding a stake in whatever gets built on top of it, DeFi, NFTs, real-world asset tokenisation, most of it settles back to Ethereum in some way. That's the utility edge you're picking up on. The trade-off is it's a more complex asset with more moving parts, and it can be staked if you want it actually doing something rather than just sitting there, worth looking into if "leave it there" is still the plan. Since you're already holding BTC from a good entry, adding ETH isn't really an either/or decision, it's just not putting all your eggs in a single basket. A lot of people who want simplicity end up somewhere around 70/30 or 60/40 BTC/ETH for exactly that reason, not because one's objectively better. Only thing I'd genuinely flag: don't let "set and forget" turn into "forget it exists." Doesn't need to be active management, but even checking in once a year is worth doing. Good luck with it.

That's only a theory, obviously. But anyway I'm 100% certain that is never wrong to buy BTC as long as you can hold it for at least 10 years.

Standard Chartered predicts $500K Bitcoin by 2030, but ETH will outperform BTC over the coming years on a percentage basis

That's the point. We are thinking in terms and numbers related the "old world". I believe AI will mean such an important change to the world just as evolving from an agricultural society to the industrial age. Or horse wagons and cars. With such new technologies the global economy made always multiple x. AI will lead to the same. And then suddenly 1 billion per BTC is nothing crazy anymore. If the global liquidity does a 3x and BTC will be 5% of all value - we are already within dozens of million's per BTC.

You might be the biggest BTC bull I've ever seen. Lol. But good for you if you've been in BTC for awhile. It's likely served you well so far.

Demand for BTC has to increase for the price to go up. In 20 years, you think there will be enough demand for it to be in the billions?

You said it yourself OP. Some think it will fail. Others think it will succeed. “Everyone’s” outlook on BTC’s future spans the realm of opinions. Personally, I find it impressive that an asset that traded for less than $0.01 just 16 years ago is worth > $75 000 today. But there will always be naysayers who pronounce it “dead” during any market correction or bear market era. So what exactly did you hope to achieve with this question?

I don't think Bitcoin will vanish in the future. Call me super optimistic (I am) but personally speaking I think BTC will be within 10 years worth millions and In 20 years even billions. Based on the fact that global economy will rise with AI and BTC will have a larger share within in.

why would you do that? BTC is the one free and 1st coin. Stock exchanges have performed bette than BTC.

BTC is just another investment to me. Maybe in some remote areas or where people don’t have a banking system it’s good. Or if you’re sending large amounts of money and want to avoid the time and/or fees. That’s about it. My grocery story doesn’t accept it, my utilities can’t be paid with it, my mortgage can’t be paid with it. Work can’t pay me in it. BTC as a money, nah I’m good. Gimme really money and I’ll buy BTC to sell later for a profit

Why would I have heard of somebody who is bad at BTC security? What would I learn from studying this person?

They were told by their crypto TA gurus that BTC would bottom in the $40ks, and they believed it like sheeps.

stick to your original decision and leave the BTC alone

BTC only needs to stay scarce and secure. Alts actually need a reason for people to keep using them. ETH has that ecosystem but for coins like LTC surviving isnt the same as staying relevant

ISM is in expansion after 5 years of contraction lol. Alts followed this while BTC did it's own thing

What time range are you looking at? That's most important when considering "top performers". I did analysis here that shows that XMR and LINK were the first movers in this run up. SOL, HYPE, hell..even BTC were trailing XMR and LINK [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing\_the\_recent\_run\_leaders\_vs\_followers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing_the_recent_run_leaders_vs_followers/)
