Interesting take. Ai is ultimately more symbiotic with BTC than fiat currency. I wouldn’t underestimate the overlap.

60% in BTC

bigbiblefire

Open a Roth IRA and put 7k in there to maximize the annual contribution (if not done already), and buy 7k of a couple different ETFs. The other 18k I would spread out across the next 9 weeks putting 2k into bitcoin per day. Next year if I don't have funds to max the Roth IRA contribution again I would pull from those other BTC holdings to make sure I was able to maximize that. Next open an HSA and start maximizing those annual contributions, as well. Find one like thru Fidelity that allows you to actually buy stocks/funds with the HSA funds.

Honest answer that isn't just "HODL" or "buy the dip": Before you touch Bitcoin or any investment, do these first: 1. Pay off any high-interest debt (credit cards, personal loans above 8%). No investment consistently beats 20%+ interest rates on credit card debt. 2. Build 3-6 months of expenses in a high-yield savings account or stablecoins earning yield. This is your "sleep at night" money. 3. Only invest what's left. If you have no debt and already have an emergency fund, great, all 25k can go to investments. Now for the actual investing part with whatever's left: Don't put it all in at once. BTC is sitting below 67k right now after a meaningful pullback. Nobody knows if this is the bottom or if we go lower. Dollar-cost average over 3-6 months. Put in a set amount every week or every two weeks. Split between Bitcoin and a broad index fund (S&P 500 ETF like VOO). Bitcoin is high conviction for a lot of people here, and I get it, but diversification isn't a dirty word. Something like 60-70% BTC, 30-40% index funds gives you crypto upside with less volatility. Self-custody at least some of your BTC. Hardware wallet (Coldcard, Trezor, etc). Not your keys, not your coins isn't just a meme after what happened with FTX. Most importantly: have a plan and write it down. What's your time horizon? Are you holding for 5+ years? Are you going to panic sell at the first 30% drop? Be honest with yourself before the emotions kick in.

download an open source mobile wallet and visit a BTC ATM, buy small amount and play around with it, test multiple wallets, buy something etc.

Smaller and newly launched tokens may post very large intraday moves (sometimes 20%+) but they also come with thin liquidity and price instability — making risk management essential. 📊 Why These Cryptos Are Volatile * Low market cap & liquidity → Easier for price to swing with modest trade size. * News and sentiment drivers → Social hype, regulatory announcements, or ecosystem developments affect price fast. * 24/7 markets → Crypto never sleeps; volatility can spike at any hour. 📌 Bitget: A Platform to Trade These Volatile Assets You can trade many of the above cryptocurrencies on Bitget, a global crypto trading platform that offers both spot and derivatives markets for a broad range of digital assets — from BTC and ETH to altcoins and meme coins. Why traders use Bitget for volatile markets: * Broad asset selection with hundreds of crypto pairs. * Deep liquidity on major pairs, helping reduce slippage in fast moves. * Advanced order types and risk tools (e.g., stop‑loss, take‑profit) suitable for quick intraday trading. * Competitive fee structure that can benefit frequent traders. *Note:* Always do your own research on any platform’s fees, liquidity, security, and order‑execution features before trading — especially in highly volatile markets. ⚠️ Risk Reminder High volatility means opportunity and risk. Sudden price moves can result in rapid gains *or* losses. Effective risk management (like stop‑loss orders and size limits) and market awareness are key to day trading success.

ReadingTheSign23

Feels like one of those classic BTC moves where everyone looks for a headline but it’s mostly just leverage getting flushed. A quick drop hits liquidations, that triggers more selling, and it cascades. Sometimes there is news, but a lot of the time it’s just market structure doing its thing. If funding was getting overheated or too many longs piled in, this kind of move isn’t that surprising.

ReadingTheSign23

Nice, hitting 2 BTC is huge. That takes real consistency. I’ve been doing something similar and honestly the pullbacks are the only times it feels “comfortable” to keep stacking. Way easier mentally than buying into hype candles. Curious if you’re sticking to a strict schedule or just leaning in heavier when it dips like this?

bimbobandit2016

It would be the most crypto thing if BTC finally had a huge pump when things looked bleakest

ChangeNOW_Community

BTC is really like my ex: disappears for months, then pops up just to mess with my emotions

GrossOldNose

Im a trader not a BTC believer, ive not held any BTC since like April 2022, so yeah I missed the top for sure (I mean SnP did 80% over the time-period so I did ok haha), and missed the leg down which was nice for my blood pressure. Im actually cautiously scaling into BTC here - think theres a decent chance for a leg up and if not - im ok ill sell if we take 55k and take the L Basically commenting this so I can gloat or cry later haha

Busy-Possession2891

if you actually have interest holding BTC, i think you should consider structured DCA - so you can keep cash in the short term sand slowley conert into BTC.

UnusualReality1177

Everyone wants crypto to act like a safe haven until real macro hits and then it just trades like a high beta tech stock again, middle east tensions usually trigger risk off first so liquidity pulls out fast and everything dips, then once the panic settles you sometimes see BTC stabilize or outperform a bit, it’s not that crypto is immune it just lags and then reacts to the same global liquidity games like everything else

AndrewTheRaider

Buy loads of BTC at 110k, sell at 70k and get more debt. And the market even rewarded them with a +10%, smh

LoopyPro

Als long as we express value in USD and money printer goes "brrr", BTC will go up long term.

Nyanzerfaust

This has nothing to do with BTC, you deposited **2BTC in a gambling casino website** and someone hacked your gambling account.

franktrollip

I'm also winning. Because I use active risk management, I only ever buy low and sell high, I never panic sell or FOMO in. You currently have unprecedented buying opportunities, with the benefit of knowing that the price reached $125,000 so can easily go there again - which means, buy BTC now and reasonably expect to double your money. What's not to like?

geditaza

the peace of mind from a 60/40 BTC to equities split is worth the slightly lower upside compared to going full degen in this market

AdRight7472

For someone advocating for BTC, you seem slightly clueless on how it all works in terms of on and off ramping/spending/sending etc

BlackRock's IBIT, currently the largest spot Bitcoin ETF in the world with \~$54 billion in assets, charges 0.25%. Fidelity's FBTC charges 0.25%. Morgan Stanley just filed to undercut every single competitor in the market on day one. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas' reaction: "Semi-shock." His colleague James Seyffart followed with: "WOW." These are people who track ETF fees professionally. That reaction tells you something. The strategic logic here isn't subtle. [Morgan Stanley Wealth Management oversees roughly $8 trillion in client assets and has over 15,000 financial advisors](https://news.bitcoin.com/morgan-stanley-eyes-dominance-in-bitcoin-etfs-as-its-low-fee-undercuts-blackrocks-ibit/). If they come in as the cheapest option, none of those advisors face an awkward conversation justifying why they're using a competitor's product. It removes friction at the point of sale across an enormous distribution network: one that reaches exactly the demographic still sitting on the sidelines: older, wealthier, advisor-guided investors who wanted Bitcoin exposure but weren't going near a self-custody wallet. Strategy CEO Phong Le ran the numbers publicly: a 2% allocation across Morgan Stanley's AUM would be $160 billion. That's roughly 3x the current size of IBIT. Even a 0.5% allocation starts moving markets. Launch is expected early April according to Seyffart. Coinbase Custody and BNY Mellon are the custody and administration partners. NYSE Arca listing notice already filed. All of this happening while Fear & Greed is in single digits and BTC is 44% off ATH. Every major piece of institutional infrastructure keeps getting built in bear markets. This is now the third time that's happened in this cycle alone. BlackRock spent two years building the dominant Bitcoin ETF. Morgan Stanley filed to undercut them on fees before their first day of trading.

UpbeatFix7299

The only reason anyone buys BTC is to sell it for more real money at a later date. If that isn't happening, what good is it? Who cares if there are only 21 million of them?

jackybevibin

I trade memecoins short term so I can buy BTC and sol long term, that's it, those are the only 2 I'm holding

Dilan57169

I got most of my BTC at 2021 ATH, it’s been 5 years. I’m barely breaking even 😂

NoodlesOnTuesday

Yes, quite different, and the differences are more specific than just UI. The biggest practical differences I found after running live across Binance, Bybit, OKX, and KuCoin: Execution quality varies per pair, not just per exchange. A pair that trades with tight spreads and good fill rates on Binance might be significantly worse on OKX for the same pair if the liquidity is concentrated on one platform. For BTC and ETH perps the difference is small. For anything outside the top 20 by volume it can be meaningful. API stability is not equal. Binance has had more unscheduled API outages in my experience, but also has the most detailed documentation and the fastest official WebSocket feeds for spot. Bybit API has been more stable for perps in recent memory. This matters a lot if you are running anything automated. Funding rate behavior differs because the mechanisms differ slightly. Bybit and Binance both use 8-hour funding but the index price calculation feeds are different, which causes small divergences that some arb bots exploit. UI is honestly the least important difference once you get used to any of them. It is the underlying data quality, API reliability, and liquidity depth that affects your actual PnL.

zenecence

Save in cash now, and then buy once BTC is back at 126k

BuenasNochesCat

Right, locking in losses is the point for the tax arbitrage now. You can simply buy back into BTC instantly if you want and save money in today’s dollars on taxes today which are worth more than dollars tomorrow.

pronebonedetector

What was your average DCA amount / frequency / strategy to hit this milestone this fast? At todays price to hit 2BTC in two years you'd have to DCA \~$180 a day, that's wild

Devexperts

I think you're right about the 200-week MA. That's the one to watch for now. Up until 2022, BTC hadn't really spent any extended periods trading beneath it. Not sure about timelines but I think it needs to at least test that level before we get any clarity regarding a change of trend or a continuation lower. What are you thinking?

EarningsPal

BTC hasn’t made anyone any money in 5 YEARS. Maybe if you bought the bottom of the 2022 dip.

dj_destroyer

I always thought, that when people said lower BTC prices just meant they could stack more, were simply trying to cope... but I've finally reached that point. Lower prices means more BTC for me and that's a positive thing. Wild realization when it finally flips for you.

evilpotatoguy

The taxable event in your case is spending the BTC. In the US, crypto is property, not a currency, so when you use BTC to buy goods or services, you're disposing of an asset. This means you trigger capital gains (or loss) based on the value at the time of the transaction compared to your original cost basis.

Ok-Vegetable-8900

I think if you want consistency, BTC is a good choice. If you want potential big wins , you can choose memes. Tools like playtank.xyz can help track narratives, but your risk allocation matters way more.

Independent-Funny342

looks like classic supply tightening narrative mixed with momentum run, which can definitely extend moves if liquidity keeps flowing in, at the same time I’ve seen a lot of Solana memes do these buyback headlines and still end up just front-running exits, so I’d be careful assuming it automatically changes long-term structure, personally I prefer keeping my core in BTC and only using a small speculative portion for plays like this, while the rest can even earn passive yield on CoinDepo so I’m not fully dependent on short-cycle momentum swings

zemogregor

No, because you are not selling BTC, you are sending BTC. Never converts to fiat.

dimi727

Wow, hadn't looked at it. I turned my microscopic amount into BTC last April.

Veronica_JW

I usually look at the largest exchange's order books (e.g. Binance's BTC-USDT), as their volume is the largest and often most stable, resulting in less irregular wicks. You can refer to the largest markets on CoinGecko "Markets" section: [https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin#markets](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin#markets)

Remarkable-Aspect231

100% BTC including retirement accounts

powerform1

Honestly, you've done a good job at trying to diversify. Nowadays though I think BTC only is the best strat. ETH as the #2 really hasn't seen a lot of growth in the long term if we're looking at previous performance. All other coins are gambles. Sell all and just put into BTC or if you'd like BCH 5 - 10%, even then you're probably still better off going 100% Bitcoin. The gov will soon be coming after your in Bitcoin so please just stack as much as you can. Also read the Bitcoin Standard, you will then understand how much your holdings will be worth in the long term. Hope this helps.

Otherwise-Reply323

Im going all in on BTC cause its my only hope

Appropriate-Talk-735

That is a long time and both legislation and other coins will change. I think the store of value marketcap will be larger so I dont expect any flippening, but ETH or SOL can have great returns depending on which one takes the use cases. ETH looks very cheap to me now but if it fails to generate higher fees and higher use then it will fall further (measured in BTC). I think best for most people to hold 80-90% BTC and then either ETH or SOL or both depending on what you believe in.

Express-Economist-86

Not really my ‘tism is more process-oriented than emotionally-oriented. We’re in the Information Age, any process can be learned, opportunities abound and are expanding. First step to solving a problem is admitting you have one, but people that see their situation as not having enough of the problem (I.e., fiat) are not existing in the same paradigm as I am. My paradigm is that non-cash assets are going to be worth more than cash. The dollar lost $0.21 in purchasing power in just the last 5 years. The only goal for me js sustainably stacking of as much BTC or directly BTC-backed financial products as possible. Between STRC and SATA there is a nice rhythm to optimize cash flow, what can’t be reinvested directly to compound goes to buying more bitcoin in my broker. My DCA is from digital mining, there’s better tax-free options I’ve become aware of like abundant mines, which is the next goal. If I start an LLC, I can buy miners from them and because it’s tangible property I can take a full tax write off. They start at like $6k so my first $6k of bitcoin-taxed earnings would essentially be bought by the government. Yeah, Saylor is buying Bitcoin, I should be - but I’m just as susceptible to inflation as anyone else and want to cover all my bases so I’m just building it out with solid foundations. I have a reddit-assigned username, but zero actual training in economics aside from a community college business degree from forever ago. It took time, wanting to learn, YouTube, and humility to see it was my problem for not learning the systems I survive in.

I assure you that if UTXOs confuse you then you don't "understand everything else". That's like someone never having opened the hood of their car saying that oil confuses them but they understand everything else. The technical details of Bitcoin is a fantastic journey if you are interested in pursuing it. Here's the deal with UTXOs and how it may relate to the advice your friends have given you. There is no notion of accounts on the blockchain. The balance associated with an address is just the sum of all the **Unspent Transaction Outputs** that have been sent to that address. ( An explorer site or the wallet software you are using - or more likely the software it is talking to - had to literally go through every block looking at every past transaction to collect and sum these up). Think of it a little like recording virtual dollar bills. Let's say: On Monday Mary sent your address $18.50. She only had a $20 bill. So she created a transaction with two recepients: $18.50 for you $ 1.00 for her (as change) You'll note that this adds up to $19.50. The remaining $ 0.50 was left as a tip/bribe for the miner to include the transaction in the next block. The miners take whatever inputs exceed outputs. On Tuesday Tom sent you $30.50 in by grabbing a $17.23 bill and a $22 bill... On Wednesday Wendy sent you $50 in exact change.... etc. Your balance is $100 but since you didn't get all of this coin in one transaction it's fragmented in several inputs (unspent future outputs). If you want to spend some of these then you need to collect and sign off on each of these inputs separately. This makes your transaction bigger. Since there is only so much space in a block, miners need bigger transaction fees for bigger transaction sizes. Your friends may be advising you to save transaction fees by waiting to transfer to cold storage because when you transfer it, you are consolidating all the separate UTXOs into one. If you did a hot-->cold transfer everytime you received a small amount of BTC you would be just moving fragmentation from one of your addresses to another and essentially paying twice for the bytes you are adding to the blockchain. If you wait, you are paying only once to clean it up.

Azteca1519

Does the AI bubble effect BTC?

Forded_Fiction24

Even if investing in something else resulted in more Bitcoin in the long run? My goal is to stack as much BTC as possible and it's strategically a lot easier to do that by ironically not just investing in Bitcoin While there is no second best, BTC is a medium to long term play and there are plenty of assets that outpace its gains in the short term and that's the caveat to the claim of "no second best", in that that's long term gains specifically. Compare BTC's percentage returns from 5 yrs ago to today and then look at your pick of index funds, individual equities or gold, for example over the same 5-year span, March 29 2021- March 29th 2026 and you'll see why, numbers don't lie. So I invest in those multiple short term assets and then take profits off the table, pay some taxes and then rotate those profits and to buy more Bitcoin to hold for the long haul. There's no way I would have near the amount of Bitcoin as I do if I had only invested in Bitcoin all these years. Talking points don't always equal sound financial strategy

shedgehog-orchard

hey duude just so you know a byunch of poople are gonna dm you for btc scams, not me tho i'm just gonna comment: I'll check your private keys to make sure they're safe bro! (/s) Congrats tho! I have been watching / paying attention to BTC for years through college and early post grad with very little to contribute, but now I have some extra money to put towards it and the dip couldn't have come at a better time. Slurpin up as much as I reasonably can rn

Dmarine999

Bitcoin won't help with near-term day-to-day critical necessities. In fact, had these folks allocated a small portion of their income to BTC near highs, they'd be in even more dire straights. IMO, one should only stack sats with funds they won't need for at least five years, preferably, 10. But I'm very conservative.

Phantasizer

Yes it’s concerning, but Bitcoin isn’t a solution for this problem. Sure, some people might make enough profit to have a better life (economically), but if the wages aren’t enough to sustain a family or even just a single person, BTC won’t make a difference.

Post is by: Away-Ant7779 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1s7api1/honest_eth_predictions_for_2036/ A lot of the "expert" forecasts for Ethereum are all over the place right now, especially with the upgrades on the horizon. If we’re actually looking a decade out, where do you guys think the price realistically lands? Given 10 years and the "burn" mechanism, there's a huge range being thrown around. On one side you've got people and the institutions talking about $22,000 as a base case, but then you’ve got the massive bulls saying $100k and that it actually flips BTC and becomes the backbone of global finance.

Is it true BTC would have to hit $31k for that to happen? If so, I shudder to think what that would do to the BTC market.

Easymacsauce

Yes I’ve been very aggressive and going to load all the way down. If the price continues to fall I’m considering sell all my tech stocks and getting more BTC. Just having BTC and VOO may happen.

Calm-Professional103

Looks like a good learning curriculum, although you might be underweight in BTC and ETH as your anchors. It will be interesting to see what survives between now and the next BTC halving.  PS:  XLM is a utility token and, IMHO, not investible. I hold only enough for utility purposes on Stellar.

80% BTC the rest is diversified

AdBeautiful9489

I still don't understand how is me buying BTC at 70k a great thing, or so I was told, and now 5 years later it's worth less than that. When talking about long term investment, you don't expect to invest at 67.000 and ve at 66.000, 5 years later

Hfksnfgitndskfjridnf

He has bought plenty of times this year with NAV below 1. Look at his purchase history in 2026, the majority of buys that were only common stock ATM resulted in a decrease in BTC per share.

MK2809

I mean it was pretty much confirmed that the four cycle was still in play, now the question is will BTC bottom out in October or will the global economy get worse and it'll continue down for longer than in the past?

Random_182f2565

I believe them, the question is, how this affects the price of BTC?

madladchad3

If you look at the BTC chart and the halving cycle, you can see the basic pattern. I dont have the charts with me right now, but it’s something like X months before halving BTC starts to go up and Y months after halving BTC peaks then crashes for Z months. It literally has been following that pattern for the past 16 years :)

oneawesomewave

If you knew the positions held by Hayek, you'd know he'd certainly be an ETH maxi rather than a BTC maxi.

That's like finding a time capsule. Once you recover them, the smartest move in 2026 imo is to move that found money to Nexo like I did. You can swap your APL for $BTC$ or $ETH$ and earn up to 13% daily compounding interest

masterfu678

Answer is There USED to be legit mining platforms, and I actually made some money from it, I have a story to tell There ussd to be a website called Genesis Mining, that lets you buy "mining contracts" in hashrate amounts, this was 2016, so about 15TH is enough to earn a steady small amount of satoshi. Keep in mind that in 2016, Bitcoin was still around $200-$300, this was a couple years after the MtGOX incident, and Bitcoin is still in the middle of recovery for the price. With that cloud mining, I was earning about $25 in Bitcoin about every two days, and that was enough for me as pocket money, then one day, that $25 became a few hundred dollars, and I was shocked, checked the Bitcoin price, and that is when I saw it jumped to a few thousand dollars. We all know how that ended, Bitcoin went as high as $12,000!!! I was getting at least $1100 a week from the cloud mining. However, that was also a time I regret not knowing how to save my money, I would have some crazy savings by now if I didn't spend all that money on stupid stuff. Then slowly, Genesis Mining started becoming not profitable because Bitcoin's price kept going up, and my now measly 15TH mining contract is barely keeping up. Then in 2022, Genesis Mining announced that they are shutting down operations, because it is just not profitable to keep going. No idea what their mining farm is being used for nowadays. Genesis Mining is still up as a website, and I just logged in to see what is going on, my account is still there, with a tiny bit of BTC left over from the contract, but I couldn't take it out because it was not enough to meet the payout limit. That is the end of my cloud mining experience story. Nowadays, finding another website that can have this kind of cloud mining service is very rare, an operation that is on the scale of what Genesis Mining had, is one of those mining companies that dedicates enterprise level hardware to mine that 3BTC reward, no more cloud mining stuff that you can buy.

65%+ BTC. Long-term holding till 2040 or so.

Fear & Greed at 9 and BTC holding $66K. The last time we saw single digits was the August 2025 flash crash which marked the local bottom. What's interesting: funding rates across Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid are neutral to negative right now. That means the market isn't overleveraged to the long side. When cascading liquidations happen, funding is usually deep positive. Not the case here. $1.2B in BTC options expire Tuesday with max pain at $67.5K. Price is below max pain which historically creates upward gravity into settlement. I've been tracking cross-exchange funding spreads and orderflow data on multiple exchanges. The CVD on HL actually shows net buying over 48h despite the price drop, somebody is accumulating while retail panics. Not calling the bottom, but the setup looks more like August 2025 than June 2022.

Serious question, don’t you have the feeling you paid double the price because it’s so low atm? Paying with BTC is cool and all but when the price is down so hard, why not use fiat instead?

The AI / datacenter market is going to get wrecked by the soaring price of energy because of the "Excursion" in Iran. Hopefully BTC mining isn't going to get hit too hard. I read where MARA had to sell $1bn in BTC to raise revenue.

tenkunin

Only hold BTC and ETH. Everything else is going into the gutter.

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

I don’t really run a fixed percentage, it shifts depending on how things look, but I keep BTC as a smaller slice than my boring stuff like index funds so I don’t feel pressure during drawdowns. If you’re feeling the urge to keep adding just because it’s “cheap,” that’s usually where I slow down a bit and stick to a preset amount so I’m not just reacting to price.

Between actual BTC and MSTR it's about 15% of my net worth at today's prices. It's enough that I'll be set if BTC every really does go to $500k and not so much that I'll be destitute if it goes to zero. I don't intend to ever buy any more of either, regardless of what happens with prices.

FitCompetition1804

Wonder if you get $5 BTC gift card each time you purchase via BTC? Regardless, not a bad deal if you buy to replace right away and then bank the gift card. Help the cause a bit while banking a few bucks more worth of BTC vs buying with fiat. Tax implications might be prohibitive for many though, I’d know I’d be apprehensive to deal with it.

Big yikes. Why would you ever allocate 60% of your portfolio to coins that have massively underperformed BTC on the long term? The only alt anyone should hold, as I have said before on numerous subs, is HYPE. HYPE is the only coin in all of crypto that is at ATHs against everything else, and actually has meaningful buybacks from revenue.

1. Zero meaningful buyback and burns of the token. 2. AAVE/BTC is near all time lows. 3. AAVE/USD is at the same price from years ago. Hard pass.

Je te conseille une expérience beaucoup plus fun que de miner du bitcoin sur ton ordinateur. Déjà car de nos jours vu le niveau de difficulté ton ordinateur a très peu de chance de miner quoi que ce soit. Acheter un véritable mineur de Bitcoin cela va te coûter très cher en électricité pour un gain quasiment nul, voir même des pertes. La dernière option que je te conseille c'est de faire tourner un BITAXE en SOLO MINING, tu laisses tourner ton miner tu ne gagnes absolument rien, par contre tu participes activement à la décentralisation du réseau BITCOIN mais en plus tu as la possibilité de miner un bloc toutes les 10 minutes et d'empocher 3,25 BTC. Par contre c'est complètement aléatoire, c'est vraiment de la loterie numérique. Personnellement j'ai 2 bitaxes et un Nerdqaxe, et je trouve ça passionnant. Bonne continuation ⚡⚡

Hey man! I am new in Bitcoin too. I wanted to buy bitcoin when the price was 17.000€ . I didn’t. I invested some money into BTC last year. I think mostly because of FOMO. First purchase was totaly based on feelings and not on any research. Later, I started reading about bitcoin, listening to podcasts, watching yt videos, and it opened another world for me. You see, I invested before in other assets like ETF’s , so that means im not totaly new into this right? I was so wrong! Bitcoin is an investment on another whole level, and the whole cominity is just amazing. My advice is, buy the dips and DCA as long as you can, because IMO you won’t be able to do that in the future.

Bit confused by today's price movement, opened a short at 67k, expecting a dump. But cant even pay my diner bill with my position, any reason BTC is holding so strong?

Who’s talking about selling? I’ve never sold a single BTC, but if you’ve been buying for almost 10 years you’d see that BTC runs in cycles by now. I’ll DCA into October and drop a bag at the real bottom.

Remember the goal of bitcoin is to be the global neutral reserve or bridge currency that no government can control or stop no matter what they do. It's the first currency to take financial power away from governments. who recklessly debt burden their citizens weakening their currency thus stealing value from citizens while the elite profit at their expense. The goal of bitcoin isn't to sell it because when we win you'll just spend it. So if 1 BTC equals 100,000,000 then .1 BTC equals 10,000,000. Start DCAing as much as you can. Right now BTC is really cheap take advantage of this because it will never be this cheap in the next cycle.

You can already leave your money in treasuries and make a yield. I don't see how it changes if it's a stable coins. At least if it's a stable coin it means there is a potential floor for BTC because speculators are ready to buy at specific price targets without dealing with on ramp/off ramp of fiat.

BTC mining is a competitive industrial scale business. Everyone competes for the same reward. The smaller you are the less likely are you to get anything. And the big miners are so big you are not going to catch up. It's like digging for oil with a teaspoon. Forget mining. Learn how to purchase and use and protect your bitcoin.

You can attempt such, but not for me. I don’t have a crystal ball. I buy constantly regardless of price but if I wake up one morning and see it’s down say 7-8% in a day, I’ll buy a lot on those days. Well, “a lot” is subjective. A lot for me, maybe $5-10k on those days. I’ve been buying since 2017, just how I’ve always done it personally. A guy I know sold all of his BTC at $96,000 and he’s waiting to buy back in, this (so far) has worked for him, but not how I do it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Dachte schon, er hat 4.000 BTC gekauft!

Why not hold onto the money until that 15-20 drop? It seems that BTC runs in cycles.

When I first got into crypto, I followed all the usual influencers chico, BitBoy, WendyO, Suppoman. Reality check: most of them didn’t know what they were doing, or worse, they were paid and didn’t disclose it. Straight clown show. I lost money listening to them. That’s on me. The real lesson: stop outsourcing your thinking. Best move you can make in crypto: → Invest in yourself before any token → Learn charts, market structure, and market phases → Understand how cycles actually work Most indicators? Lagging. They might work sometimes, but long-term edge is weak. Yet people treat them like gospel. What actually matters: Market structure + phases. That alone filters out 90% of the noise. Right now you’re seeing the same cycle repeatnew wave of people coming in, blindly following influencers, thinking someone has their best interest. They don’t. Every pump gets a narrative slapped on it. Politics, news, whatever. Truth is: those events usually just accelerate what the market was already set up to do. 95% of people don’t understand this. That’s why ~1% consistently win. And that whole “just HODL” mindset? Survivorship bias. For every winner, there are thousands who held garbage to zero. BTC at $1, $1K, $10K was a different game. At today’s prices, you need skillnot hope. Do your own research. Build real understanding. Otherwise you’re just exit liquidity with a Twitter account.

I'll preface this by saying we are always a major event away from things getting worse. I know there's currently serious concerns about private equity along with various global issues that can affect crypto pricing. Contrary to the belief and desires of some, Clarity Act is a big hurdle and potential catalyst for crypto right now. Yes BTC and ETH are the top 2 in crypto for various reasons. SOL is actually gaining a lot of traction by institutions as they transition to crypto and blockchain tech. The problem is that this may or may not translate into SOL actually seeing its monetary value mirroring its technological value, similar to Chainlink, AVAX, and others. Unsure about the best exchange. DEXs are probably the better option, but sometimes have their negatives depending on what you are trying to get. If going through the CEX route, you'd have to find which is usable in your area of the world and has plenty of liquidity with low fees. In time, we'll see more major brokerages also allow crypto trading so it'll add some flexibility to where you can keep it while possibly utilizing it for things such as staking. Competition is usually better for retail as we'll see lower fees and better rewards. There's also the convenience factor for retail users. Morgan Stanley will be entering the crypto arena via Etrade starting sometime within the next year. Fidelity has already started.

There’s no true on-chain “staking” for Bitcoin it’s mostly lending or yield products. If you’re going that route, also look beyond yield. Some platforms like Coindepo have native tokens with upside potential similar to early BNB or NEXO. So it’s not just earning on BTC could be a token play too.

I’ve read where the FED wants to cut its balance sheet in half. Wouldn’t that be deflationary? And then, wouldn’t you want USD? Sounds like USD in the 1990s. BTC dead IMO on so many levels.

SkewerSk8r

Retail is selling out to big corps, chasing devaluing dollar profits.. we need to keep every bitcoin private and in cold storage if not then government CAN/WILL control BTC sooner than later (even thru private corporations).

edmcryptodad

Sorry about your luck. Keep buying and be ready to sell in 2028/2029 and don’t listen to the influencers. Their job is to keep you in. If BTC makes it to $250k, I’m out, even if everyone is calling for $300k to $500k. Like Flava Flave says, “don’t believe the hype!”.

😅 I watched my 2021 investment of 3K go to like 16K and now become about 1K. (bought alts). Then in 2023, I went all in and bought my first BTC, watched it go from $22K to $126K and now down to, well, you know the story. Everyday feels like a kick in the nuts since November, I would literally prefer being put in a coma until the next ATH than live through this shitty time.

edmcryptodad

I missed my first opportunity to sell in 2021.. wasn’t about to miss this one. In 2020-2021, I watched my $20k investment go to $45k, then down to $14k in 2022. Kept on buying into 2024-2025 and watched my now $35k investment go to $110k, and got out at $100k. 😅 Now I’m gonna try again.. $500/mo into BTC until 2029.. hopefully catch another 3x. 🤷‍♂️

Ok_Golf_6467

Probably 1 more leg down... Will be painfu,l but BTC is basically at a generational discount for wealth.
