BTC

WeCanTripleIt

Yes! 100% of my BTC’s held with Fidelity for security reasons.

damaged_goods420

BTC only

wolfofone

I would trust Fidelity or Schwab and a BTC ETF before I would trust Robinhood anything much less Robinhood Crypto. I would go ETF with the SIPC peace of mind or buy on Strike etc and self custody. I wouldnt half ass this. Just look at all the crypto custodial platforms that have failed.

Dymonika

So? It was 6 figures earlier. I'm even a BTC maximalist and have more BTC than USD, but I fear that seed management and irreversible transactions (in terms of mistakes or hacks) are difficult for the majority of people and that these will be a major contributor to why it may never go mainstream. You cite only the price but nothing else to back up your claim, whereas I can simply mention the thousands of forever lost wallets, the clogging of the blockchain with dust [that The Cat nobly tried to propose an aggressive solution to deal with](https://x.com/ostrom72158) that was shot down, so now we're stuck dealing with worthless UTXOs causing needless congestion. You seem to think I'm an anti-crypto idiot or something, but were you even aware of these things? I'm not against BTC; I *fear* for BTC. I *want* it to go mainstream but I'm concerned that may be too technical and absolute/no-mercy-for-mistakes in the nature of its transactions for the masses.

gtwooh

Pfffft. Ledger is fine. Never received a scam letter or other. BTC still there after 5-6 years. Also use a jade.

Yodel_And_Hodl_Mode

*Checks the price of Bitcoin...* *Hhhmmmmm... 1 BTC = $64,982... but Dymonika thinks it's a failure?* Sometimes, I don't understand people at all. I remember how hard it was to access the internet in the early to mid 90s. 2400 baud modems. Configuring TCP/IP. "Oh, dammit! Somebody's on the phone!" But never did I say, "Therefore, the internet can never go mainstream, right?"

Good_Extension_9642

I'll just say that after the BTC ETFs where created, I only buy ETFs, it helps me sleep like a baby at night

tenor_tymir

This is such a limited point of view. Quantum security is essential. BTC is going to adapt in a timely fashion. Why would anyone vote against that? It will be an easy consensus to reach.

crunchyeyeball

The "100 BTC" message may refer to the recent coldcard hack rather than a burn, though a lot more was taken over the course of the last week or two. People have burned well over 100 BTC of course. That address alone has burned over 800 BTC. Most of it was burned back when it was worth considerably less though. The weird "**X2[**" OP_RETURN messages seem to be related to some kind of "sidechain" I'm not familiar with: https://medium.com/rootstock-tech-blog/a-review-of-the-stacks-blockchain-from-a-rsk-perspective-9e3361970f34 > If you want to explore addresses from a Bitcoin blockchain explorer, Stacks’ Block producers create ordinary bitcoin transactions where the first output contains an OP_RETURN opcode followed by a push of data starting with “**X2[**” for Stacks 2.0.

therealsandysan

I distill water at my home and it kicks out a lot of heat. I channel that heat into a big Mylar wrapped cardboard box with stacks of sliced apples. They dehydrate the apples with the waste heat! The BTC water heater is a cute idea, but I'm still thinking that just buying the BTC and heating my water with a cheap tank is still a better option.

breadeggsmilkbees

Current knowledge can buy many BTC!

Suitable_Acadia_190

BTC's sitting at a level I've been watching for months. Move off the 2022 low has been one long methodical climb, real corrections, real consolidation, not the parabolic chaos people expect. Every time price has come back to test old resistance turned support it's held, and it's testing that same kind of level again right now. What actually has my attention isnt the chart though, its the disconnect between price action and how bearish sentiment's gotten. Momentum on the way down hasnt matched the actual selling, which usually means the move down is running out of people willing to keep pushing it, not that somethings structurally broken. Not calling a bottom. Just looks a lot like the other times this thing built a base quietly before doing what it eventually does.

coffeeCup_45

Cashed out $50k worth of BTC and transferred to my bank in less than five minutes. Immediately spendable.

wolfofone

The longest chain wins and is BTC.

SaraTalbotAU

Spouse transfers are a no-gain/no-loss event, so gifting BTC to your wife is fine tax-wise - but if your salary is low, check whether you are the basic-rate taxpayer here. She would pay 24% on her gains, whereas you could sell into your unused basic-rate band at 18% after the 3k allowance and gift her the cash instead.

DrGrungy

You're right. Just tired of all the BTC shills. It makes no sense whatsoever. Just don't the other retards falling for that crap 😅😂

I said XRP. Didn't I? Not disclosing how much I have because that's dumb. But it's valued at more than two BTC atm... 😅 That's only my crypto currencies x.x

Quokky-Axolotl7388

Be careful because your shitcoins are on the same private key / wallet of your legitimate BTC. If you claim your shitcoins by moving them on a new address, you are also exposing your BTC. So the proper order would be to first move your BTC to a new address and only then try to claim your shitcoins to sell them

slykethephoxenix

I bought early. It's currently at multiple decades of my current salary. I've had to diversify into shitcoins and actual stocks, but I'm still like 90% BTC lol.

paqtak

BTC only. Not even Eth. And of course ignore the clowns recommending xrp

DrGrungy

For BTC, yes! XRP still early. The big institution's are on the side lines. Between sometime in October to 2030 will be the major run up...

crunchyeyeball

I'm far from an expert, but why have *only* your wife sell? You each get a £3K CGT allowance, and if you have a lower salary, you'd only pay 18% CGT on the rest. I'm an idiot when it comes to tax, but what if you transfer maybe 22K of BTC to her to sell, and maybe you sell 30K yourself instead of her selling *all* 52K? E.g.: She pays 24% on 19K (22K-3K) = £4,560 You pay 18% on 27K (30K-3K) = £4,860 You each dump 20K into an ISA, tax-free (or shuffle it around and use a SIPP if you prefer). You could even use the ETNs in an IFISA. I'm sure there's some nuance for the figures, and there'll be a sweet spot to totally minimise tax, but there's got to be a better option than 24% of 49K (52K-3K) = £11,760

DrGrungy

Your name literally says bot in it. You bot! 😂 XRP, BTC is the distraction and the tokenomics and who's behind it make no sense. Get your shit together, you bot.

DrGrungy

Not BTC. Everyone who says so is dumb.

GCM1313

I have about 1/3 of mine w Fidelity as of this morning, the rest are still sitting on the cold wallet. My BTC shows on my portfolio home page as a separate crypto acct w X BTC next to all of my other brokerage. So I don't have my keys and I'm subject to counterparty risk w them. But I was trusting them w far more value in brokerage earmarked for retirement and college as of yesterday and hadn't given that a second thought. This an asset manager w custody of almost 20 trillion in customer assets and they've been in crypto for more than 10 years. I'll take my chances w what of mine I just turned over custody of and they are now responsible for safeguarding so I don't have to.

BTC

BrokenHefaistos

So he shorts BTC ? 🤔

MiguelLancaster

will this result in me getting some free forked coin that I can sell for more BTC like the BCH fork did?

thogor

Why would you try and pull newcomers in your own filthy bags while you know that it's way better advice to just let them start with BTC and figure it out themselves. I own other coins than BTC but not a hair on my head would even consider shilling them to a newcomer. You should be ashamed of yourself. Be better.

StrangerEither

I think it's only for the spam being added by exploit. It's patching an exploit from a previous update thats allowing people to bypass the limit by 10x. There's blocks being added that are just text/images which was never intended. Don't Shitcoins run their own chains/layers and settle on BTC? They're transactions on btc rather than actual words/images added to the chain.

melch_18

Depends on your goal, here's what I'd recommend after 6+ years working FT and investing in the crypto industry. \- safer and long term holds: go with the big names, BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI (not XRP, Cardano, they're dead) \- riskier, shorter hold, higher upside: find a project that's about to launch, get involved in their community and get in early. Or look for well funded projects in the 200 - 400 market cap listing on coingecko .com (expect it to go to zero) These are very early startups, very young, very risky. Not advice but Euclid Protocol is one of my favorite projects that we've worked with for years and will launch in 1 - 2 months.

BigDik6355

Did you at least buy BTC with the proceeds of those kidneys?

Ladlow

Probably BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP (Larger market cap coins with institutional support). Do some research and go with the one you have the most conviction on.

CUbuffGuy

These relies are lacking so much info or just straight up wrong. Some people bought it, some people mined it, some people got it for free from faucets (sites that just gave free BTC daily). Thats not what actually made the price increase from a technical standpoint. Bitcoin operates on an algorithm to determine the rate of new Bitcoin released into the economy. Roughly every 4 years, the amount of BTC you get when “mining” it is halved. This means that less and less Bitcoin are being created every time that mining reward goes down. At the same time, the use cases and the ability of Bitcoin to function as money has been improving. So you have an asset with a rapidly decling rate of production, and a rapidly increasing rate of adoption and use cases. This lead to an extreme increase in price (supply/demand), causing each coins value to skyrocket. People who were early adopters of the system and mined when the block rewards were extremely large could acquire thousands of coins monthly. If you were able to store these coins successfully, they are now worth expinentially more than they were at the time. Of course, over the years many coins have been lost or destroyed, so the actual amount in circulation is actually a lot less that 21m number that many quote. But, that’s essentially how it happened in very broad terms.

cubeeless

BTC to $400k!

Rabimaster

Some forward thinking people bought into the idea of BTC at the beginning and saw its future potential (this was a minimal amount of people). 10c a coin $10, $100. Some bought (or mined) and forgot then found they were sitting in a fortune. So many people bought at 10c and sold at $10 or $100 and made a massive x100, or x1000 or more on their investment. Why wouldn’t you! The people that understood (again, minimal) sold at the ATH of $126k or whatever it was. The people that really understand didn’t sell (maybe a bit) and they are still buying at the current knock down prices of 50% of ATH.

zante2033

It was during the period when universities were running protein folding leaderboards and people would leave their PCs running on 24/7 with a view to furthering medical research, there were leaderboards and everything, coold times. Then BTC came out and just about everyone stopped folding proteins :) It was a fun use of distributed computing. Satoshi was posting on the p2p foundation website at the time, it all started there with mining. Originally there were sites called bitcoin faucets, where you could grab them for free. It took a long time for their to be any kind of exchange rate established.

GoldmezAddams

Some of them may have mined early when solo mining was easier. A lot bought some early and sat on it. There was a time when a bitcoin cost almost nothing. There was a website that would give you 5 BTC for free just to promote the technology. The thing is, bitcoin is scarce (only 21,000,000 can ever be mined, about 20M have been mined so far) and it is useful. The more people came to appreciate that it was a good money, in many ways superior to the dollar, gold, etc, the more people wanted some. With increasing demand against an inflexible supply, price/purchasing power has to go up. So what was once worth cents is now worth about $65k USD.

Human_Traffic_3775

I'm with you. Just more and more convoluted solutions to keep our BTC safe. Now we have to buy the components ourselves and assemble them. The barrier of entry for anyone but hardcore fanboys is now so high. It's a real shame. Turns out there is no good sinple solution to self custody. It's just becoming an example of something that is technically perfect and completely impractical. 

ZucchiniIntrepid719

Point of correction: BTC has NOT been hacked! The wallet was hacked and that is 100% the responsibility of the wallet maker! Maybe we should all be talking to Congress right now to ensure that ALL exchanges and wallet providers carry insurance up to $200,000 account protection for every customer just like a bank.

whodkne

Real talk, stick with top names. BTC eth, etc.

Ill_Effective_4417

BTC only.

pizzeriagio

Trezor (only BTC if you can) + your seed(generated with dice) + good passphrase + multi seed phrase on fireproof metal plate= perfect security

Uther-Lightbringer

I'm not saying that people assume they're burnt. I'm saying the investing community at large treats that wallet as burnt tokens as it's been dormant for as long as BTC has been a known public term.

rdroid1

It is a lethal combination of both: * The Principle (The Trigger): Proof of life shatters the psychological foundation of Bitcoin. Knowing Satoshi is active means an omnipotent entity suddenly exists who can tank the market at any second. The sheer existential dread is what causes the instant panic. * The Supply (The Execution): 1.1 million BTC is roughly 5.5% of the entire circulating supply. No market on earth can handle an active, multi-billion-dollar seller looking for the exit. Even if Satoshi only sold a fraction, the massive overhang of the remaining supply completely breaks the math behind Bitcoin's scarcity. So the principle triggers the initial heart attack, and the threat of the massive supply ensures the market doesn't recover from it.

oneawesomewave

It is rather a good sign that you consider it weird. If you look closely you can see that there a lots of those people in the BTC and crypto community as well. I think about people irrationally hating on taxes, government, inflation, the "mainstream media", normies and so on. To me hatred is a sign for a lack of understanding, thus never shows intelligence but rather the opposite.

rambaldidevice1

Blue and it doesn't have shit to do with BTC.

Uther-Lightbringer

The issue here is, so much of the psychological price of BTC is based on the fact that his wallets are basically considered burned tokens. So we have no idea what the fallout would be if even $1 was moved from the wallet, it could cause BTC to collapse and not come back to these levels

Any_Upstairs_6172

Hello... I am not sure why it is a tax headache. As BTC is considered property it does not fall under the "wash" rules. And... "the next bull run"..? I am beginning to think that there being a next run is bull.

electromage

2.5 BTC, A "sat" is 0.00000001 BTC.

Individual_Bell_4637

2010 is already the year I use to torture myself. I got married that year and I did the math once: I could have used just $100 of the cash gifts we got, and it would have bought BTC worth $63M at the peak.

iloverunning11

Nobody said bitcoin was hacked, they said its price was not affected much even though thousands BTC have been stolen

Cryptoxic93

If you moved one Satoshi worth from that wallet BTC would implode, and you would get nothing.

marshyr3d1and

"the war on BTC" ??? Explain, what have I missed?

slowlearning1

Put as much money as you can on an exchange that offers leverage. Use as much leverage as you can, and short the BTC market. Move a few of Satoshi's BTC into some random persons wallet. Profit. That wallet is never going to be able to cash out. It will tank the market, and you will have all kinds of unwanted attention from government and just about everyone alive. The only way to profit off that wallet is to know it will tank the market, and to let it do exactly that.

karnyboy

Maybe the point of Satoshi's wallet is to never be found as to maintain a dollar value for BTC

arBettor

Tell him you'll sell it to him for 100K/BTC and will buy it back for 60K/BTC later. He loves that type of deal.

FamaCodex

That would probably trigger a massive panic sell ... The second people realize Satoshi's BTC is moving, the market would shit itself and BTC could absolutely nuke toward $0

CLUTCH3R

Could buy a lot more than 10 BTC back then

Intelligent-Dig-4082

BTC is undergoing the same structural change that names like GLD, SLV, OIL, equities have undergone... which is why the original BTC thesis is out the window. Bitcoin's valuation was built on two foundations: A hard cap of 21 million coins No rehypothecation That framework was altered the moment we started to layered things on top of the chain: Cash-settled futures, perpetual swaps, options, ETFs, broker lending, wrapped BTC, etc... Why do I say the thesis changed? Well, it is clear, the layers created change the hard cap. It essentially created an INFINITE supply of BTC but NOT on-chain. That INFINITE supply of off-chain BTC has synthetically has fundamentally altered the real supply, and as a result, price no longer reacts to demand. This synthetic supply of BTC no longer reacts to demand, but rather to positioning, hedging, and liquidation flows. Wall Street can not trade against BTC and doing what they do in every derivatives-dominated market: Create unlimited paper BTC Short into rallies Trigger liquidations Cover lower Repeat They've effectively turned Bitcoin into a market where supply can be created on demand. And they literally print their own Bitcoin out of thin air.

yorickdowne

So the move is \- Short BTC with leverage \- Move BTC from Satoshi’s wallet Do both on separate machines on different continents (don’t rely on a VPN service, have a physical machine you can log into remotely). After the act, collect your machines and wipe them.

DegenNabalu

FBI knock your door. DOJ seize the BTC. So maybe just hodl lol

TheBestintheWest11

the day Satoshis wallet cashes out will be the exact moment in time where everyone will call BTC the biggest "scam" of our time. I doubt this would ever happen. If anything I can see a random day the monst randomest of the random where Satoshi would burn all his/her BTC to keep BTC's idea forever alive.

osb40000

At one point I sold \~ 100 BTC to pay for my son's birth and week long stay in the NICU. Honestly would do that one over again, but no way would I risk anything that would fundamentally change my life from what it is now. Great wife, 5 wonderful kids, solid career, good health, good friends. I'd be hard pressed to go back and change anything that would make me happier today.

zenethics

The best defense is diversification frankly. I'm mostly reacting to people who had 10+ BTC stored on a coldcard. That seems very crazy to me, unless it represents like 5% of their net worth or something.

CODE_HEIST

His biggest contribution may be turning Bitcoin exposure into a familiar corporate finance product. Investors who would never manage keys could buy a public company, while the company used debt and equity markets to accumulate BTC. Whether that ultimately proves healthy is separate. He changed the distribution channel more than the technology.

Monster213213

Is your time horizon 5 years? 3 months? A snapshot? Are you a trader? I firmly believe in BTC and with that firmly believe MSTR will succeed and be one of the largest companies in the world - whether 5, 10 or 25 years

Zestyclose_Ad2462

Proposed BTC holdings: 10% in a cold wallet w/multisig or 2FA 10% left on a reputable exchange 40% in one ETF using one custodian 40% in another using another custodian This minimizes the possibility you'll get Cold Carded. Even if you do and it's a complete loss, you still have 90% of your portfolio. Ditto if your exchange goes under. ETF's aren't guaranteed but I'd bet good $ Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab etc employ better (and far more) cyber-security nerds than any cold wallet. Let's look at Fidelity. They're the largest custodian in the US, with over 17 TRILLION assets under management. There's at least a CHANCE they'd make people whole. Otherwise, why would people keep their money with them? They'd forever be known as the custodian who got hacked and people lost everything. Conversely if they stepped up and made people whole, I bet they'd see a LOT of new customers. And few, if any existing customers leaving. Just my opinion

Thanis_in_Eve

All I did was point out a contrary point to your final paragraph. I don't use coldcard. They are a little too bare minimum for me. And I understand that people have difficulty with technology at every level, so also know that some people will be completely fine with Coldcard, Trezor, Ledger, etc., while others are more comfortable with an online platform. I personally use a Trezor and generate my own entropy. I've never trusted someone elses entropy outside of a lab environment. Everything has a vulnerability or an exploit, even if it's just your face vs a $25 wrench. Knowing and being able to plan for those vulnerabilities is the difference between security and being a cautionary tale. What's your strategy for working around Coinbase being unreachable because: Their servers are over whelmed They limited access to their servers because of excessive traffic They turn off access to their servers due to a cybersecurity incident while their PR team prepares a statement about how sorry they are for sending your BTC to North Korea They turn off access to their servers due to a government request/action Your government blocked access For me, self custody is the way. So is generating your own entropy. It's not the simple answer some may want. But simple people want simple answers. 'You got hacked' is pretty simple I guess?

Hypnot1se

This might sound counter-intuitive or even possibly retarded, but the cold card hack thing is what renewed my interest in BTC and how it works. If I hadn't have bothered to look into it I wouldn't have started to be convinced that BTC actually has real utility and isn't necessarily a bad asset to hold. Talking to people here has helped me learn a lot of valuable things and the arguments they make seem logical and make sense to me. Not everybody is going to just react like that and discard an idea out of hand.

Sufficient_Fuel5269

Saylor not only bought BTC: he institutionalised the narrative. It put companies in front of the mirror and turned Bitcoin into a respectable treasury asset. His greatest contribution is to make the “risk” of not having Bitcoin.

Ready-Government-954

I might reach that point when I'm a full coiner. But I definitely feel like BTC is the superior asset compared to everything else I can think of and I expect it to outperform everything else in the comming few years, other then some high risk things you cant predict with a lot of certainty. So better to buy other assets when the btc price is higher.

youyololiveonce

Making it so I can’t but 50k BTC anymore

Red pill. 10 BTC now. Going back to tge past with my currebt knowledge would definitely destroy me in the future. I might be able to have 1000 BTC but would lose it quickly.

Illustrious-Motor504

Wow! What a story! I’m feeling very sorry for you, I’m unsung Trezor and ledger. Can I just get a lightning wallet from you- I’d like to send you some sats! Take it as a sign from the BTC community that there are also (and mostly) very kind and friendly people who like to help each other a bit more!

Few-Engineering9803

I sent this meme to a friend who bought BTC at 125K, he's still laughing about it to this day.

dapzar

Pulling in more money. BTC is a purely speculative asset with a price determined only by supply and demand (no underlying business that generates a cashflow which would allow some DCF-based valuation to create more demand), so momentum/attention is what can create bull runs and Saylor was good at promoting that. By getting investors to give him money, he bought BTC which pushed the price, allowing him to pull in more investors. Naturally, there is a ceiling to that but it made some people richer in the process (and some people a lot poorer who bought at the top).

Raidianite

They will only feel satisfied with themselves when Bitcoin as a project fails entirely, but since that hasn't happened they're just being strung along for years in the hope that they'll see BTC fail one day. I don't think everyone needs to support or like Bitcoin, different people will have different opinions or interests, but it is wild to me that someone can invest so much time in things they claim to dislike like this. Our lives are short and we shouldn't be wasting them spreading hate on the internet or hoping for other people to experience misfortune. I've never liked schadenfreude but that community takes it to the next level because they fuel themselves on the HOPE that SOMEDAY they'll get to feel schadenfreude, it's just bizarre.

TinSodder

I'd mine the fuck out of Bitcoin, JFC, could used to mine with a CPU and the reward blocks were 100BTC. Of course I'd buy the shit out of it too, just reallocate what I was putting into 401(k) at the time. More importantly, I'd also have the chance to unfuck my kids, change their directions aggressively.

Old-Committee944

I think his biggest contribution was making Bitcoin look like a serious treasury asset for public companies. Buying billions in BTC got the headlines, but proving a company could actually build its balance sheet around Bitcoin changed the conversation much more.

Marmaluke420

Not rugging BTC down to 10k....

macetheface

Remember being laid off in 2010 after the 09 recession and having absolutely no clue what I wanted to do with my future. Full on despair. Imagine having the knowledge I do now back then. BTC price was under 1 cent. I would have bought 20,000 BTC. Don't forget selling at cycle tops and buying cycle bottoms, with leverage. Could easily be the richest person alive.

Anxious-Fondant-8929

I wish you long life and Prum friend! They also got me for .17 BTC. Not as much as you claim but the pain and anger are still there. At the end of the day we can’t take any of this with us when we go and all that we will look back on is the memories we create with the ones we love around us. I was poor and happy. Dreams of riches only brought me anxiety. In Swahili Maisha marefu!

Klutzy-Sea-4857

I split crypto into 3 buckets: BTC, actual projects with real revenue and users, and casino chips. Everything else is noise. Tokenomics and real usage matter far more than L1/L2 labels.

Rude-Commission-1002

I’d take blue and buy BTC early, but honestly fixing a few terrible life decisions would probably be worth more to me than the money.

Lavayo

From everything I have heard yes. Although if this theory of the deliberate bug for later BTC theft holds true I would not trust the device either way. If the current location of your stack is good enough for a few weeks or so, I personally would set up a new wallet with dice on another hardware wallet (Bitbox, Trezor...) and add a passphrase. Double check if it works and transfer the stack for long term storage.

pqellowbory

Based on my own method, looking at supply and demand, I feel like the 60k range could already be a bottom area. There could still be a Spring down into the 50k range in the future, that's just my personal view. I'll keep DCAing consistently either way. Even if I'm wrong and BTC drops to 50k or even 40k, I'll still keep DCAing rather than going all-in at any specific price level.

mythormedicine

Right, but I think the idea is if instead of random useless hash problem we could switch the network to run AI. If that can happen, and I have no idea if this is feaible that would be a moon moment for BTC.

If I wanted to brag I would have said what my full bonus was, not just the part I put into BTC.

It also explains why they're so angry. There's a fundamental difference between people who have never invested, who have heard of BTC but aren't interested in it, and people who have been watching the chart every day for 10 years.

Posting this as a factual timeline with screenshots, not as an accusation draw your own conclusions. 1. BingX ran a promo giving me a Position Voucher: 200 USDT position value, max 5x leverage, position auto-closes after 24h, no fees, restricted to designated pairs (BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, BNB, GBPAUD, DOWJONES, CADJPY). 2. I used the voucher as intended within the app's own rules opened a position on one of the listed pairs, no manual workaround or exploit, just used the feature the way it was presented. 3. Shortly after, my account got restricted. In-app notice cited "account anomaly" / unusual activity, with trading, bonus claims, new-user rewards, and event participation all blocked. [screenshot 1] 4. Got an email asking to reply with a video of myself holding my ID reading a specific script, to "lift the restriction." This came as a plain email reply request rather than through the in-app verification flow, so I did not respond to it directly. [screenshot 2] 5. Follow-up email confirmed: "earnings obtained through violations have been deducted (including: 16.59 USDT)," and some account functions remained restricted. [screenshot 3] 6. First withdrawal attempt (65.34 USDT) came back "Failed to pass review." [screenshot 4] 7. No open disputes remain I've since submitted an account deletion request.

Citizen_Kano

In 2010 I could buy 10 BTC for less than a Big Mac

Saffuran

If you are a beginner with low risk tolerance either sit in BTC or just sit in ETFs.

Rafellorenzo

With 4.37 BTC, the Lambo is possible long before $1M. The real challenge is not selling it all when Bitcoin hits $100K.

Fauked

Same. I would never show off the house and rental properties I bought, the lambos and ferrari's that I bought, the 1m USD in BTC I still have in my wallet, all the money I have sitting in my mattress at home(s). I would never go on the internet and tell people these things about me. Who would be that stupid am I right??
