While I think BTC is going to go far higher from here I think that ship has sailed awhile ago for creating wealth. I think big returns are still very possible with the right small caps and patience.

The dealer’s still living in the $125k BTC timeline, while we’re over here in the “regular salary” timeline.

fadeawayjumper1

It’s the only true modern blockchain currently. BTC only has first movers advantage, and solana will eventually die as faster blockchains came online.

BTC or crypto isn't anything physical lol

Don't listen to this guy. Send it to me and I'll not only verify it but send you an extra 1BTC back.

How can someone smart enough to have 185 BTC be dumb enough to let some 19 kid scam him? Madness

Chance_External_4371

Bro if you know it so well you must have at least 21 BTC with that kind of insight lol

PigsOnTheWings

If you believe BTC will climb back to $100k+ and are willing to hold until then you should buy.

ImDeepState

How much BTC does she have?

TripTryad

Ehh, I once had just shy of maybe 3k BNB tokens back in late 2017 shortly after Binance launched and BNB crashed to about .80c. I sold a little over 2k of them, but if you look at where it went, I would have been better off holding it until it hit 650 or so in the next bull market. That being said, what I sold back then I put into LINK/ADA/BTC and unfortunately LTC (which was a bust basically). So I still came out waaaay ahead and it became the foundation to where I am now, so Happy Ending, lol. Still grinding though. I love this space, and finance in general is my hobby. 🥂

Upbeat_Acanthaceae41

Does the US know Iran’s wallet addresses and if so, is there a way to limit their options in terms of usage or movement of their BTC? I’ve been out of it for a while and don’t know how far world governments have gotten with tracking coins and strong arming exchanges. Are mixers still around?

PurpleLand5325

BTC doesn’t follow traditional basic economics..

MarkLuther123

So your position went from “BTC is fine” to “BTC is horrible for some people” in like 2 comments lol. thats kinda my point tho. If an investment is only good for people who already know its good, thats not exactly the slam dunk argument you think it is. Also buying because everyone is bullish near all time highs is literally what happens every single market cycle. Thats how markets work. Acting like retail investors hearing about BTC from other people is some kind of character flaw is just weirdly elitist. And if the long term thesis for BTC is really as strong as bitcoiners claim, then somebody buying at 100k isnt automatically stupid. They could just be early for the next cycle or late for this one. Nobody knows. But thanks for the lecture man. I’ll make sure next time I personally study monetary policy, macroeconomics, cryptography, game theory and spend 5,000 hours researching before i buy $7000 worth of bitcoin

PlutoPlaneta

hint: you cant diversify within crypto. it all moves with BTC and if all your portfolio is crypto thats insanely risky.

Any investment is a bad one if you don't understand what or why you're buying into, or doing so simply because of he said she said hype. I genuinely think BTC is a horrible investment for some people.

Skrypto7

Peer to peer with the security of BTC under 30 minutes is Wizardry Magic

MarkLuther123

So you’re saying BTC a bad investment?

Kie_ra

You bought something because "everyone was saying"? I would highly recommend you stick to putting your money into a savings account and forget any investment including BTC if that's your mindset 

ConsciousSkyy

Xmr has performed horribly against usd and even worse against BTC lol what are you on. Its only used by a small group of people on darknets

Suspicious-Skill1934

If your are an advisor i would not be advised to be over exposed on BTC, advisor should be aware of risk and allocation for their clients

Archophob

do you personally know the people you've been sending to, or is there a theoretical chance that they are complicit in the ongoing war? Some people would object to sending BTC to people who'd eventually use it to buy ammunition to shell schools in Kiev.

On a general note, Diversifying with cryptos... well, it could reduce slightly the risk, but not too much. You are in a volatile, high risk market. If you don't know what you are doing, it may be time to stop and reassess your objectives. If you truly want to diversify, move part of your inversions outside of crypto market. But if you remain, I'd advise you to divide your crypto funds in percentages: \- 80% on big coins: BTC, ETH, XRP, DOT.... \- 15% on promising projects: Alpha coins (VELO...), new coins with a promising white paper... \- 5% on shitcoins. That bit is pure gamble: If they succeed, you earn big. But you'd likely lose everything. Then decide your strategy. Basically you can focus on three main strats: 1. Day scalping 2. Follow the big market fluctuations 3. Hodl 4. Add DCA to 2 & 3 **"Day scalping"** means you buy & sell fast, for small profit each time, many times a day. Requires a lot of work, market analysis and cold blood. Considering you "don't know what you are doing", I wouldn't recommend that. **To "follow market fluctuations"** is done in three steps: 1. Fine out a good moment to buy a few of the big coins. Remember the price you bought. 2. Decide a price increase in which you will sell. IE: Buy BTC at 65k, sell at 100k. 3. Wait until price reaches sell objective. This requires some analysis, but as you focus on big price changes, it is way easier and more relaxed. You may do a trade today, and not make another one in months or years. **HODL:** Buy, and keep buying, hoping prices will go up. It worked wonders for those who did it for years, but you cannot know if it will work nowadays. The main advantage is that it is simple: You buy and forget you have criptos at all **DCA:** Dollar Cost averaging. But regularly the same ammount of fiat currency (USD for instance) of the cryptos you choose. This makes price dips & surges less step. It avoids the risk of putting all your funds in a moment when price is too high, but the opposite is also true. Basically, you sacrifice a bit of potential benefit to reduce potential loses. Anyway, stop, reevaluate your strategy, and carry on. Crypto is very volatile, no matter how much you diversify.

Everyone talks about quantum computing being a security problem for BTC. We all know that can be solved for however. My theory is that it actually becomes a solut that dramatically speeds transaction times when quantum computing is applied to the BTC algorithm.

Post is by: Right_Effect8912 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1u2gkfv/i_built_a_free_nosignup_dashboard_that_tracks_us/ Every cycle the same thing happens: liquidity moves first, price follows, and the narrative shows up last. So I built a thing that just watches the first step. **What it tracks, all from primary sources:** * **US Net Liquidity** = Fed balance sheet (WALCL) − Treasury General Account − Reverse Repo. When the Treasury rebuilds its cash pile or RRP rises, dollars leave the system. When they spend it down, dollars flow in. This is the single most underrated driver of BTC. * **Stablecoin supply** (DefiLlama) — Tether/Circle minting = dry powder loading; burning = capital leaving. * **Spot BTC ETF flows** (Farside) — the BlackRock/Fidelity bid, 5-day net. * **The broad dollar, SOFR−IORB spread, ECB/BoJ/PBoC balance sheets** — the global funding backdrop. It compresses all of that into one 0–100 "Tide Index" and draws it as a map of capital flows between the Fed, the Treasury, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Beijing, the stablecoin issuers, the ETF desks, and the Bitcoin network. Green arcs = money flowing toward risk, red = the drain. Refreshes once a day after the Treasury's daily statement drops. **The honest caveats:** net liquidity is a proxy, not gospel — it's a regime/backdrop gauge, best read on 2–4 week persistence, not a daily trade signal. The famous "global M2 leads BTC by 10–13 weeks" charts are partly FX artifacts. I built this to see *conditions.* It's free, no signup, no paywall, and the daily JSON payload is an open API if you want to build with the data (liqtide.com/data/latest.json). Methodology with all sources is on the site too. [**liqtide.com**](http://liqtide.com) Feedback genuinely wanted — if you track liquidity, what signal would you add? Considering PBoC OMO and the MOVE index next. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

_RonPaulWasRight_

EXACTLY what I was going to say - OP should stfu. Don't ever tell anyone how much BTC you own. And especially when it's a large amount that most will never own - just comes across as bragging. Irritating. GFY, OP.

xtexm

Nah. Have an emergency fund 1st, and “stable” income. Only then should you invest your heart and soul into BTC. Every situation is different

stoic_ramrod

It was stable coins they froze not BTC. Notice they said “snatched their crypto”. Pretty sure now that’s why Iran only accepting BTC moving forward.

Selling 32 BTC is not enough to shift the bid/ask prices on the book like you mentioned. But the price reaction to MSTR selling 32 BTC was real, for a few reasons. 1. Shift in MSTR buying strategy and thus market sentiment shifted for the future of BTC Current BTC prices are largely propped up by MSTR buying and reserve activity. A change from MSTR’s policy of “invest billions and never sell” could signal upcoming weakness at a time when BTC is alreadycweak or underperforming, and many people in the market may be currently at a loss. How do you think these traders react when they see that the largest fund in the world apparently makes a change to their acquisition strategy? They lose trust in MSTR and thus the price of BTC in the future, and take their money out of the investment. Further, **MSTR sold their 32 BTC after acquiring $4B in BTC at a cost basis of around $77.5K each and then promptly rook a 25% loss on this position** Saylor was clearly early with those purchases, and he lost a LOT of money in last few weeks, while displaying huge arrogance. MSTR sitting on massive losses while BTC is weak, with the threat of bankruptcy or more selling in the near future and thus more whifts down in market sentiment suddenly creates high risk for the future of BTC. Few other factors- 2. capital outflows to AI and other assets due to refer. Other assets are doing great while BTC is stuck around a 5 year low. 3. General market instability and precariousness of Iran war and broader market cycle eh broader geopolitical tensions 4. halvening cycle

I’m in BTC for about 14 years, so pretty good. I expect it to continue to be the #1 growing asset on earth for the foreseeable future. Before lol’ing, step back a bit and look at the bigger picture. I’ll check in with you in five years to see if you’ve figured it out yet. RemindMe! 5 years

The 1,202 sats were almost certainly the withdrawal fee that GoMining's payment processor charged but didn't display clearly. You can verify this yourself: go to mempool.space, paste the transaction hash a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112, and check the output amount vs what GoMining said they sent. If the on-chain output matches what Kraken received (0.00342000 BTC), then the difference was taken before the transaction was broadcast. GoMining showed you the gross amount, not the net after their processor's fee.

I am happy today, and I think I don't want to change anything in the past that led me up to today.  I ll take 21 BTC 😂

unknowngloomth

Instead of spreading your money across many "medium risk" assets the typical diversified portfolio, you split your capital into two extremes: Portion Allocation Type of Assets Goal Safe Barbell 80 to 90% Very conservative (low volatility) Protect capital Risky Barbell 10 to 20% Very high risk, high upside bets Generate outsized returns You completely avoid the middle ground those "somewhat risky but not crazy" assets that usually deliver mediocre results. In Traditional Investing Safe side: Government bonds, treasuries, cash, gold, blue-chip defensive stocks. Risky side: Venture capital, startups, options, leveraged bets, or small speculative positions. In Crypto Context Safe side (80 to 90%): BTC, "ETH," stablecoins Risky side (10-20%): A very small number of carefully filtered high-conviction bets (clean tokenomics, real usage starting to show, not 90%+ down from ATH, etc.). You don’t hold 8 to 12 random small caps just because they "might do something." You stay extremely picky on the risky side. Protects you from big losses (most of your money is safe). Still gives you exposure to massive upside (the small risky bucket can 10x to 50x and move the needle). Avoids "diworsification" owning too many mediocre coins that all move together when the market dumps.

HumanPlane5807

Go all in. You will have 30k tomorrow. You get BTC at the price you deserve they tell me.

\> No matter how much knowledge you have and how confident you are in Bitcoin, those bear runs absolutely suck and there will always be a feeling of uneasiness of buy during this period. I agree that there is uneasiness in bear markets, but I really like bear markets because you don't have the mainstream ppl here buying BTC. It is only the people who get it. If you go to BTC meetup in bear market you meet way less dumb people, which is nice.

snakemeatsandwiches

.21 is .000001% of the total supply of 21 million BTC. If you had .000001% of the total supply in circulation of 22.7 trillion USD, you would have $227,000 currently. So practically speaking not an insignificant amount but on the global scale not an insane proportion. But more USD is printed constantly and it’s perpetually less valuable over time.

RandomPlayerCSGO

Actual diversification looks like combining stocks, gold and silver and BTC, alts all do the same

Far-State-8719

Simple, the market didn’t collapse because of that sale of 32 BTC. Do you not have access to 3/6/9/12 month charts? MSTR started rolling over July ‘25. Hope this helps.

Adventurous_Race_201

As special as .21 BTC.

You could buy 21 BTC for under $10 in 2010.

Advanced-Summer1572

Owning 0.179 BTC places you firmly in the top 6% to 10% of all Bitcoin wallet addresses, and generally within the top 1% to 2% globally when measured against the total population of Bitcoin holders. The exact breakdown of your standing can be viewed in two ways, both driven by the finite supply of 21 million Bitcoins:Top 6% – 10% of Addresses: When evaluating the total population of wallet addresses on the blockchain, holding > 0.1 BTC (and up to 1 BTC) puts you comfortably in this decile. Top 1% of Owners: The "0.28 Club" is a widely cited statistical benchmark in the community. If you divide the 21 million maximum possible Bitcoins by 1% of the global population, holding ~0.28 BTC theoretically guarantees you a spot in the richest 1% of the world's Bitcoin owners. Since 0.179 BTC (my current holding, I continue to DCA) is a significant fraction of this, you rank exceptionally high in global wealth distribution.

veri745

Only 152 million other people could possible ever have 0.21 BTC at the same time

K42st

Spot selling or exchanges move the price up if large sellers sell on there, image a large buyer getting their BTC on an exchange in Bulk the spot price would go through the roof (good right) no not good bad because next month when they want more they pay more. The name of the game is to keep price low and buy more, whether they buy or sell they’ll do it either in small exchange orders but lots of them over time or they will be matched with sellers OTC. People miss understand that buying is the key to higher prices when in reality stopping selling is more important, you can have as many buyers as you like but if the selling matches the amount bought prices don’t rise, if sellers stop and buyers keep coming prices must rise.

Infinite_Beginning98

Hurry up and get to 1 BTC

jeremyvr46

I’m not a gambler no, so I diversify. But I do have a good size of my portfolio in BTC.

bananabastard

It wasn't bitcoin. I believe it was mostly, if not all, USDT, which everyone should already know can be seized by the US government. It was after the news first broke about Iran getting crypto assets seized, that Iran announced they would only accept BTC toll payments to pass through the Strait.

Kemilio

“the idea that ETH, SOL and BTC won’t be ready for quantum is straight fear mongering” lmao.

Blade_Runner_69

They didn't snatch any BTC. That's nonsense. They froze stablecoins on exchange that they considered to be something to do with Iran. But presented no evidence as proof as far as I know.

Prices are never exactly equal between any markets, crypto or otherwise. If it is feasible, people will arbitrage it and buy from the cheaper source and sell to the expensive source, which will even it out. Although some differences in price can stay a while with certain idiosyncrasies of the market. In this case it's hard to know since it was a mini "black swan" type event rather than just normal trading causing the discrepancy. Either way I wouldn't be very bullish on H. Coinbase for a long time carried a premium on price, but has been at a discount for a while. https://www.coinglass.com/pro/i/coinbase-bitcoin-premium-index The entire country of South Korea carried a premium on BTC price for a while, which was called the "kimchi premium". https://cryptoquant.com/asset/btc/chart/market-data/korea-premium-index

devCheckingIn

All those treasury companies bought BTC in the 100-125k range. 🤣

BrodysBootlegs2

I lived in Army barracks from 2010-14, free electricity and mining BTC was still worth it back then, kick myself every day for not having known about it! 

Ok_Pipe6417

Does anyone here actually know anything or understand bitcoin outside of what they have been told? For example how many people have looked at the core code, the cryptography etc... digested it and developed a fundamental understanding of the core works and formed their own opinions? I have always wondered this, where are those people? This is certainly not me, and for that reason I am sheepish, much the same as I would be to try to take my money and build a car from the ground up, I do not understand enough to ensure that the care would be road worthy. I increasingly feel the decentralization and beyond control narrative is just a story. The fact remains the full force of any serious or advanced nation can achieve nearly any outcome they wish, I am of the opinion a large amount of restraint is exercised daily by the US gov't and other such nations. Theoretically the US gov't could easily devote the computing resources required to control 51% of the network if they so chose. Understandably the small group who control the github for the core fork are anonnymous for security reasons, but are they really? There is still a human factor here. It seems a considerable amount of trust is required here as how many node operators look at actual updates and their functionality outside of what they are told in commits? What would stop this anonnymous small group from injecting something that would not be concentual by all nodes and not notifying while all nodes update based on what they believe they are agreeing to. I am starting to think that BTC is allowed to exist, but why?

AP_lookingahead

You should 1) fully fund your emergency fund to have it cover 3-6 months of expenses 2) invest into a mix of low cost index funds such as S&P 500, total international market ex us, and total bonds market 3) and then at this point invest NO MORE than 5% of your portfolio into BTC

FitCompetition1804

I don’t believe a word this administration says, especially when they make outlandish claims such as this. People think they emptied cold storage BTC wallets. They did not.

LionRivr

Very true. The non BTC’ers would say: “But stocks are real companies that produce products, goods and services! It’s real value! Bitcoin doesn’t produce anything!!”

Syrion1984

Congratulations, here's to many more purchases! Make sure to keep at 0.0008 BTC safely in a wallet that you own, not an exchange. Remember; not your keys, not your crypto!

SensitiveAd6131

How could they “snatch” BTC from Iran? They gave the seed phrase or did they storage the btc in Binance? 😅

Porcellanidae

You should use some inverted thoughts in this, Suppose you had 1 BTC now, would you sell it for money or hodl? If hodl, than just buy BTC with what you have. 

Harfatum

Before putting that much of your portfolio in BTC, you should be sure you understand the security budget situation as well as the quantum resilience situation - both in the light of the internal politics that has dominated Bitcoin development over the last 8-9 years.

CTBienAvant

going back in 2010 with no knowledge of today just a note saying buy as much as you can BTC

jeremyvr46

How about no? I don’t care about who’s right and who’s wrong. I decided to invest in both BTC and the stock market to diversify. You do whatever you want and I couldn’t care less if you end up with more or less money than I do in a year. Wish you the best!

memecryptocoins

You cant predict the bottom, so DCA now. BTC is not going anywhere and many influential people and countries have a lot of money tied to it's success. You will look back in years and be happy you accumulated.

Adventurous_Mode_369

It’s hard to say with out seeing the rest of your portfolio. If you have no other investments, and a strong conviction in BTC I would go 33% into btc dca over the next 6 months. 33% into broad market ETFs, and 20% into some blue chips you think will out preform and 13% into some smaller caps if you can research and do your own due diligence.

Rekklezz44

I got drunk last night and bought 2 BTC. Good luck broski!

clutchtho

5 years in crypto, no way you were mining much with your gaming PC 5 years ago, if anything at all lmao anyways, highly recommend owning bitcoin over any other alts. 38% BTC is fine at your age. You're young and it's the time to be risk on. But you should continue to DCA normal investment tools to decrease that 38% of time.

nafnaf0

I assume your question is rhetorical, but the simple answer is Strategy said they would never sell, and so by selling this caused the market to crash (but honestly BTC doe whatever it wants). Them buying doesn't really change much of anything, they do that all the time, so that is normal.

Substantial_Sir1983

Ive got 6% of liquid net worth in BTC. It is quite underwater. I am not buying more. I am not selling either. Its not easy to do nothing but it is the right thing for me.

darkpool_watcher

This is super common in crypto, a lot of us went through the same phase including me. You’re probably overdiversified, true diversification in crypto doesn’t mean spreading thin across dozens of tokens, it usually means having a core (BTC + ETH) + 1-3 solid L1s you deeply understand, and that’s it. Here is the rule: If you can’t explain in one sentence why you own a coin and what problem it solves, you probably shouldn’t have a meaningful position in it.

TheBigBRRRR

I DCA weekly with small amounts and buy much more when BTC is close or at the bottom of this bear market. So for me this mix feels right 😄

Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1u288dr/cbdcs_are_becoming_the_default_policy_pathhow/ The most important monetary story right now isn’t another ETF or halving — it’s that CBDCs are quietly becoming the default policy path for most major economies, and that fundamentally changes the game for why Bitcoin and real self-custody matter. If you look at the Atlantic Council CBDC tracker and recent IMF/WEF material, the direction of travel is obvious: China’s e-CNY is already live at scale, the ECB is deep into the “preparation phase” of a digital euro, India is expanding wholesale and retail pilots, and a whole cluster of EMs (Nigeria, Bahamas, Jamaica, some Caribbean states) are already in production. The IMF is literally running training programs on “Macro-Financial Implications of CBDCs and Non-Bank Private Monies.” This isn’t experimental anymore, it’s institutionalized. Meanwhile, the UN/WEF crowd is explicitly talking about CBDCs as part of a more “multipolar” financial architecture – i.e., a slow erosion of pure USD rails in cross-border flows, not some overnight dollar collapse but a structural shift. For crypto, that cuts both ways. On one hand, CBDCs are a state-backed competitor to stablecoins for payments and settlement. On the other, they’re a giant advertisement for why you might want an asset that doesn’t sit on a revocable, permissioned government ledger. As fiscal deficits and debt loads stay structurally high, the pressure for financial repression and soft debasement doesn’t go away; CBDCs just give policymakers finer tools to direct credit, control capital flows, and “nudge” behavior. At the same time, US institutions are normalizing Bitcoin as a macro asset via ETFs and balance-sheet exposure. So you end up with an interesting barbell: CBDCs for compliant transactional money, Bitcoin/crypto as the exit and optionality hedge. Personally, with CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger and I use Coinbase for regulated exposure and fiat on/off ramps because it’s still the most compliant US ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is thinking about CBDC risk in their portfolio construction. Are you adjusting your BTC/ETH/stablecoin mix, or treating CBDCs as just another payments rail that doesn’t change the core thesis?

It's simple; there were only a handful of good options in my opinion. Properties (land/housing), gold/silver and Bitcoin. The first one I wasn't interested in because I live in one of the most taxed countries in the world, and you pay a gazillion hidden taxes when you own a home. I'm not even sure I'm going to stay here much longer, so it'd only be a headache anyway. I almost went for gold and/or silver, but I realized that nobody knows for sure how much there is left to be mined. There are guesstimates, but do we *really* know? Compared to Bitcoin's 21 million hard cap, it was actually an easy decision. Now, I have to admit that both gold and silver had the craziest bull run in decades shortly after, so it still kind of stings, but I'm sure that BTC will outpace it again in the coming bull run. Gold has a market cap of 29T, silver 3.6T and Bitcoin only 1.2T. The potential upside for Bitcoin is way, way bigger compared to gold. But in the end, it won't matter. All three assets will only go up because your government is addicted to printing new dollar bills.

Some hardware wallets that are compatible with iOS mobile are the Blockstream Jade Plus, Foundation Passport Core, Keystone 3 Pro, BitBox02 Nova, Trezor Safe 7, and Block Bitkey. These six hardware wallets all have publicly available source code that can be reviewed. I would personally choose the Blocktream Jade Plus if I had to choose a hardware wallet to use with an iPhone. --- The Blockstream Jade Plus: https://blockstream.com/jade/jade-plus/ Blockstream Jade Plus review & tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv_cN7F7-TM You can connect the Blockstream Jade Plus to iOS wallet apps like BlueWallet, Nunchick, or Blockstream BTC Wallet (Green). Get the Blockstream Jade Plus if you are interested in using the Liquid Network. You can use the Jade Plus with the Blockstream BTC Wallet (Green) iOS wallet and it has Liquid Network integration. --- The Foundation Passport Core: https://foundation.xyz/passport-core/ You can connect the Foundation Passport Core to iOS wallet apps like BlueWallet, Nunchick, or Foundation's own Envoy app. --- The Keystone 3 Pro: https://keyst.one/shop/products/keystone-3-pro?variant=KV032 You can connect the Keystone 3 Pro to iOS wallet apps like BlueWallet, Nunchick, or Keystone's own Nexus companion app. --- The BitBox02 Nova: https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/nova/ You can connect the BitBox02 Nova to the iOS [BitBoxApp app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.shiftcrypto.bitboxapp) via bluetooth. --- The Trezor Safe 7: https://trezor.io/trezor-safe-7 You can connect the Trezor Safe 7 to the iOS [Trezor Suite](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/trezor-suite/id1631884497). --- The Block Bitkey: https://bitkey.world/en-US/products/bitkey The Bitkey is personally not my style but you might like it. The Block Bitkey works seamlessly with its own iOS app. The Bitkey iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitkey-bitcoin-wallet/id6476990471 The way the Bitkey works, you don't even need a seed phrase. It uses a 2 of 3 key multisig setup and you can recover your wallet with 2 of 3 keys. One key is stored by you on your Bitkey hardware wallet device itself (hardware key). One key is held by you on the Bitkey app on your smartphone (app key). And one key is stored on Block's server (server key). Block never has access to more than that single key and 2 of the 3 keys are required to access your funds. The Bitkey also has backup features in case both your phone and hardware wallet device break. When you first set up your Bitkey wallet, an encrypted copy of your app key is created and saved to your cloud account. This backup is encrypted using your hardware key, so even if someone gains access to your cloud storage, the backup would be useless without your Bitkey hardware to decrypt it. Block also allows you to add/remove a recovery contact who can help you unlock that encrypted backup without ever accessing your wallet or your keys. With help from your recovery contact, you can decrypt your app key, restore access to your wallet, and continue recovery without relying on Block.

Lol, I wish I was mining BTC from the beginning.

There are various DCA models out there that weigh your buys based off of current BTC price and a general risk assessment. That way your DCA is scaled based on how deep a correction BTC is going through. Some models even account for pumps and guide you to DCA out above certain levels.

Agitated_Medium5844

I would use the cash to pay the off loans, cash needs, fund large purchases (house down payment, car purchase), pay off debt, and establish emergency fund before I would buy BTC with it.

What do you mean no? Are you saying it's value isn't decentralized? What does that even mean? Quite literally everyone on this planet had the same opportunity to buy BTC.

Saresti stato più fortunato di me anche se non l'avessi trovato...ho perso più di 120 BTC presi nel 2009....

Your transactions have a direct, single-hop parent-child relationship. GoMining relies on a third-party payment processor or custodial provider to handle their outbound payments, which means their front-line support staff is completely oblivious to the downstream mechanics of their own wallet architecture. Here is the forensic breakdown of what happened: 1. The Batch Payout GoMining triggered a massive batch transaction: 95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d If you inspect this transaction on a block explorer, you will find it has hundreds of outputs. Output #259 is sent to the transit address: bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr for exactly your requested withdrawal amount of 0.00343202 BTC (343,202 sats). 2. The Transit address & Fee Extraction That transit address isn't your Kraken wallet. It is a temporary, single-use transit address controlled by GoMining's payment gateway. While GoMining support agents claim they didn't create the second transaction—which is a convenient half-truth designed to close tickets rather than explain technical realities—the public ledger shows a direct and completely unarguable parent-child relationship where Output #259 of their massive batch transaction became the single, solitary input for the downstream forwarding transaction that deducted a processing fee and ultimately funded your Kraken deposit address. Pure on-chain proof. That forwarding transaction (a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112) split your 343,202 sats like this: • 342,000 sats (0.00342000 BTC) forwarded to your Kraken address (3KtixuucHp3ZFSex3847Liv6v8m1xnvt8y). • 1,060 sats sent to bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w. This is the processing fee pocketed by GoMining's payment processor. • 142 sats paid to the miners to cover the network fee for the sweep. Your missing 1,202 sats is simply the sum of that 1,060 sat gateway fee and the 142 sat miner fee. IIt's a standard custodial forwarding architecture, but GoMining's front-line support is too clueless to realize their own provider's setup to realize they are the ones who initiated the chain. \-James

So what's the average purchase price?  And they don't do dca. DCA is buying in regular intervals for the same amount. Instead, they buy 1 BTC every time regarding the price. It means that effectively they spend more on Bitcoin when it's more expensive. It's not DCA

Thats true, i am really proud of my average. Specially when I talk to new comers in BTC. But the fear is real.

What do you mean by “never be allowed anymore to get their own“? How can anyone forbid you to buy whatever you want with your own fiat money? Cash will always be present, if they can restrict buying with CBDC, use cash. Besides, you can always transfer CBDC to some person that wants BTC. It’s not like OTC is new thing these days. World already went to shit, so keep stacking.

I was 33, living in a cheap apt making very little money. Much better position now and own quite a bit more BTC. :)

Ms_Freckles_Spots

For me the first thing to keep in mind is that other currency - fiat currencies - are not really based on anything solid. Fiat money, like the US Dollar are only based on the governments which manage them. There is nothing solid really there. Then, when I read about the math behind the creation of BTC and how it is discreet and cannot be expanded … or inflated by governments acts, that is when I bought my first BTC. Finally there is the blockchain behind it. The multi-ledger which is both private and non erasable. I still believe that if BTC and stay clear of governments and corporations then everyone gains. But I understand the risk as this early phase of become a trusted tool to hold value and trade with less external control.

How do you know you could buy 500$ worth of BTC at 40k?

WiseHunter1976

I've been in Bitcoin since 2017 and this is one thing I've learned about myself: \- I'm not very good at timing the top of the Bull \- But I'm gangbusters at timing the bottom of the Bear Bought BTC in 2019 for $3K - $4K Bought BTC in 2022 for $16K - $18K For what it's worth, buying Bitcoin at today's prices looks sexy as all hell right now.

SweatySir7362

Right now one sat is worth roughly $0.0006 or about 6 hundredths of a cent, so you're missing about 72 cents worth of BTC Looking at your transaction chain though, this seems like standard exchange hot wallet management where they consolidate and redistribute funds through intermediate addresses before final delivery

Historically you're better off just putting the money into BTC

Bogdanoff_dump_it

That’s what I’m doing actually. I call it dynamic DCA. If the BTC price goes down, I spend more. If the BTC price goes up, I spend less. In the meantime, I save fiat on the sidelines which I use to finance the bigger buy orders.

Aware-Ad7163

That’s genuinely one of the craziest Bitcoin stories I’ve read in a while. Imagine spending years thinking it was gone forever, only to randomly find the seed phrase sitting in the Recycle Bin of an old laptop. Losing access probably saved you from panic selling years ago. Congrats on this, man! Protect your BTC now!

Another BTC pasta post, who believes in this AI text

If you're asking reddit for financial advice, don't put 100% of it into BTC lol. If you're having to ask then you don't fully understand or have faith in BTC, so why would you put $60k into it?

Playful-Delivery1149

21 BTC now. I’m in high school in 2010

Send me the 1BTC and I’ll verify it’s real

jeremyvr46

Haha I know. I don’t care about Karma so I’m cool with it. I’d rather make sure people don’t do anything reckless/too risky with their money and then regret it. I’m myself a BTC believer but I’m also aware of the risk so I don’t put all my eggs in the same basket, as I recommended.

TheBigBRRRR

Because they think BTC is a scam

Prnce_Chrmin

> Sure he sold 32BTC to crash HIS OWN investments. Just genius. Funny that you think it’s true I love your comments!

This is crazy,who made this? I guess I'm gonna be keeping my little BTC
