NFT’s are far from dead, that’s the blueprint as to how we tokenize RWA’s in the short future. I think the old ones will come back when the use case is there for real RWA’s. I’m not heavy into them, just mostly BTC, ETH, some select memes, but I see the potential of individually serialized tokens on a blockchain interfacing with individually serialized assets, I.e. vehicles, real estate, Pokémon graded cards etc. all of those are individually serialized RWA’s that will eventually have a 1:1 NFT proving digital and physical ownership. Want to sell a car, house, sports card? Just receive payment over a blockchain network and transfer the digital RWA (NFT) through defi or exchange, it doesn’t matter. No more 3rd party, DMV, govt land office, probate, estate disputes, NFT’s are now sales contracts for anything, irreversible, timestamped, and can contain additional digital information.

No, they wouldn't. They would have more important problems than BTC investments.

Boomer Luddites losers 😂 BTC lives rent free in their dumb heads!

Final_Bite_7228

So, like the man said, "The sovereignty is unaffected therefore value is largely unaffected." That is, 1 BTC = 1 BTC, right? But watch how people moan about the prospects of getting less money for their BTC. All day, all night it's like "Oh Lord, when will it go up again?"

zerg_001

Shes going to look back in 10 years after she finishes off her next man and tell him to sell his BTC too

Get an air gapoed wallet from ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 or Keystone 3 Pro. Both of those support BTC. An air-gapped wallet is a type of crypto wallet that stores private keys on a device never connected to the internet or wireless networks. Generally considered more secure than standard hardware wallets, but they require more technical steps and careful physical handling.

DiamondHandsDarrell

Because people who steal BTC also use the service and people with clean BTC mix it with those then transfer to their accounts and then they get flagged and suspended

deedeereyrey

Lots of OGs have sold their BTC for so much less - pizza, drugs blah.. Lots have also had their accounts/wallets hacked. You made great returns and you'll make great memories with your family in this house. Life is not all about returns and looking at numbers on a screen. Well done.

NoBrosCrypto

You mention BTC and ETH as your buys but then mention delisted coins. This sounds like you bought quite a few alts. It also sounds like you bought during the last bull run and bought the highs. Aside from BTC and ETH, and a small minority handful in the top 10 to 20 by market cap, the rest will likely go to zero or become zombie chains. Just stick with BTC and ETH. 90-95% of crypto portfolio and use the remainder for your gambles - because that’s what they are. If they delisted it means volume wasn’t there to justify keeping it listed. That means it’s pretty much dead.

nochkin

Not sure OP knows/wants how to handle it properly, otherwise a simple loan using BTC as a collateral would work too. So if you don't know how to handle it well, it's easier just to sell it clean.

Garland_Key

I don't own a Trezor, so I'm not worried. If you're on that list, you aren't mad enough. This is Bitcoin 101. Don't go around talking about how much BTC you hodl because it can make you a target. Tech savvy people with sense are generally safe from scams and hacks because most of them are broad attacks looking for stupid people. However, when you are directly targeted, you WILL get owned. A list like this means your chances of getting targeted went from near zero to near 100%.

BillyBeeGone

That's nothing for BTC. Remember those 90%+ crashes?

Project_Demosthenes_

You know BTC has done this for the last 17 years right? It’s about long time horizons, not short term price volatility.

pure_skill_

the biggest problem is after 17 years still no widespread adoption, original plan failed and then BTC was rebranded as "digital gold" yeah not looking good

I think my mom would sell all her BTC to get me married off so you’re probably fine.

Is Saylor still holding lot of BTC or sold the majority he had? (I haven't been tracking all the news).

Should have kept the BTC and got a loan… in a year you’ll probably be able to buy that house for 1 BTC

Digital-Exploration

BTC and ETH literally are the only real options. 

snek-jazz

> big money in the BTC bank scene/ETF have no idea what a ColdCard is No punctuation needed, the sentence was clear.

JohnnycompUtah

I genuinely don't even understand hating Bitcoin so much to frequent a subreddit about it. It's an asset that that no one is forcing you to buy. I remember when BTC crashed after the FTX collapse, all of my most big-brained friends were laughing about how it was going to zero. True geniuses.

skyclouding101

After the repeated warnings to HTX, they should've done what was to cease outgoing transactions to a different wallet. They should be locking the funds. Contact the security organizations and ledger on how to safely return the BTC to its rightful owner.

FunWithSkooma

just sand to liquid network, create a wallet using SideSwap L-BTC to BTC do not depends on market maker, Blockstream has their own liquidity

Any_Way_5245

Saylor is really good at PR control and big money in the BTC bank scene/ETF have no idea what a ColdCard is lol

ubermensch1001

Anything under 70k I'm a heavy buyer, but I kept this cash I have in reserve for later this fall if the 4 year cycle plays out and we have another slightly lower low. If this doesn't happen, I have no issue buying around these prices, but it would be awesome to buy at the mid 50k range and below. Your thoughts pertaining to Solana are something I've kept on the back of my mind. I'm aware of the shutdowns with that chain, and as the other poster on here mentioned that is a bit of a red flag. What attracted to me to it is that it mirrors ETH very closely but has slightly more potential to the upside while offering pretty generous staking yields. I'm just not really that excited about ETH and when it comes to buying that or BTC I am way more interested in buying the BTC. I had a solid stack going into 2021 that I held onto for a while but I ended up converting that over to BTC way back in early 2024. I spent months thinking about it, but with it trading close to .06 to BTC and with the possibility of it crashing hard it was a no brainer. Fast forward to spring of 2025, just over a year later, it was trading at under .02 to BTC at under $1400. I ended up making a lump sum purchase there that I'm still holding, but at current valuation I'm just not that interested. I really am leaning towards throwing these funds I have 100% into BTC. This was my strategy way back in 2022 when I was buying at 20k and under at around the 200 week moving average, which are right at now. My biggest mistake with 2018-2020 was being too heavily invested into alts, I got away with it at the time though because everything was so cheap AND we had that very impressive 2021 alt season. We basically had no alt season in 2024-2025, but there's a part of me that thinks because everyone has given up on them we actually see this play out in 2027 or 2028, as big money has been scooping them up while retail panic sells. This is a big reason why I want to just hold what I currently have instead of flipping stuff around. I'm way ahead of the curve and honestly kind of forget about this at times. The reality is that I have more than enough and won't miss a damn thing.

BTC and hmstr they are good together and hmstr is a bit more stable

UrbanGrower187

I donno I still generate fiat all the time and dump into BTC so I constantly am buying DYOR

That takes Guts. I would have paper handed when it was over 115K if I had 10BTC at 5700 avg LOL.

MakCapital

The only "true" crypto when priced in BTC, SOL, HYPE zoomed out. Not good. https://imgur.com/a/S8WmawG Not considering if you were staking SOL between 7.5%-10%+ you'd have over an additional 70% of free SOL from compounding revenue and issuance. Nothing wrong with XMR, but majority can't easily enter/exit until smart contracts or Thorchain adds (Watch for this. Getting close. Possible opportunity). Existing solutions are high friction and high risk. Why it has even struggled against its own competing privacy chains. *Honest human takes from someone here from the start of the industry.

TheresNoSecondBest

>The Genesis Block — Block #0, mined on January 3, 2009. The Genesis block wasn't mined, it was created. That's the reason why Satoshi made the **50 BTC reward of that block non spendable**. The block could be created only by himself and it would be unfair to the rest of the, at that time nonexistent, network. Vitalik for example, created 72,009,995 ETH in the Genesis block of his shitcoin. **All spendable**. Do you see the difference between a genius and a scammer?

tequilawhiteclaws

I'm with ya. Was a cardano maxi, sorta still bullish but theyve got a massive branding problem even if the tech is good. It's probably a 3rd world governance + rwa platform eventually. BTC is all brand. 99% of use cases will be ETH + LINK + Google/Apple running private wallets on your phone

Pledge the house and buy back BTC again

skf42005

You truly don’t understand the BTC story. Yes the first phase has been retail adoption and this has 2 main sources. The first are the speculators who just hopped on board as momentum built up. These buyers are basically out of the market at this point and many will pounce back in as it marches on to its all-time high. Then you have the true believers (the HODL’ers). They’re mostly still in and they see the true long term picture of BTC which is and will be as a store of value. As new regulations come in with the Clarity Act and institutions further adopt BTC in their asset allocation models that’s when BTC will sky rocket. If the bozo’s in DC could get their acts together and pass the Clarity act that will be the impetus for the crypto market to get back on track. The rails have been set by the institutions and in time they will be exploiting what they built.

Skomakartjern

What you fail to see is, the answer is just as lame as the question: ”BTC hitting bottom soon? Do I have this correct?” Both are saying ”look elsewhere for knowledge.”

Own_Grab

The next Bitcoin adoption signal might be jobs, not price I work in talent/recruiting around the digital asset industry, and there's one Bitcoin indicator I think gets less attention than it deserves: who companies are hiring before the next stage of adoption becomes obvious. Price gets everyone's attention. But companies often have to make hiring decisions months before the products, infrastructure or expansion they're building becomes visible to the public. The interesting question for the next phase of Bitcoin adoption isn't simply whether BTC reaches another price milestone. It's whether we start seeing sustained demand for people working on: \* Bitcoin infrastructure and custody \* Lightning and payments \* Wallet/security engineering \* Mining infrastructure and energy \* Institutional Bitcoin products \* Compliance and risk for Bitcoin related businesses \* Open source Bitcoin development My prediction: the strongest signal of the next institutional Bitcoin expansion may show up in engineering and infrastructure hiring before it shows up in headlines. Hiring is expensive. A company can publish a bullish press release fairly easily. Building an engineering team, allocating headcount and committing millions of dollars to infrastructure is a much harder signal to fake. I'm curious what people here think. If you could track only one non-price indicator for Bitcoin adoption over the next 2–3 years, what would it be? Hashrate? Lightning activity? Corporate treasury adoption? Institutional custody? Developer activity? Something else? Interested in hearing what Bitcoiners are actually watching.

shakapoopooky

If you bought the house free and clear, DCA back into BTC every month like you’re paying your mortgage.

Hamachiman

And even if Octoberish is the bottom, BTC may be at $40k then and take years to get back to ATH. If anyone knew the future for sure they would be here prognosticating.

Good-Book-6912

What made you buy the meme token(BTC)?

jonnygreenwood69

It's a bear market. Let's be real, alts always get decimated, but the right ones always outperform BTC. I bought at SPX at $0.25 because I follow it closely and am currently outperforming BTC.

EmptyAttempt25

Once you receive liquid Bitcoin and you send it to a new address, do you send it from liquid back to a regular BTC (non liquid) address?

Automatic-Cap-1718

I’m more Sol, purely to send to Trezor, compound gains, each week I have a set amount and the shrapnel goes into BTC, eventually when I have my Sol target all gains will get sold ok highs & rotated into BTC on drops even if I lose a little on the Sol rewards as I wait between Sol pumps & BTC drops

universe_pound

That’s a strong thesis. I think the next cycle could be much more selective—BTC/ETH absorbing institutional liquidity while a smaller group of real-utility, revenue-generating alts outperform and low-quality tokens fade.

Traditional_Most105

If i wanted to buy BTC i'd buy and i might have bought some... but saying something you might as well back it up.

Frosty_Builder7550

Nothing is a 4 year guarantee anymore. Not even the Olympics or a new American president, let alone BTC

whataboutbenson

I don’t want to tell you not to buy SOL, but to me it seems to be quite a shoddy chain. It’s had a lot of down time over the years and I think the team are not very discerning about what the chain is used for, eg scamcoins. I just don’t see it having a very long term future like I do BTC or ETH. The price may very well go up in the next few years though.

-Lomaximus-

Thats unfortunate. I had a generational wealth amount of BTC stolen from me by myself. I had 4400 BTC I bought at 12 dollar. I sold at an all time high then of 26 dollars. Having doubled my money I never thought any more of it. Worst mistake of my life..

whataboutbenson

BTC is the only one worth owning tbh. I have ETH as well but it doesn’t perform.

Previous_Valuable873

XMR is the only true crypto. Look at it's performance compared to BTC in the last year. SOL, ADA, ETH, all joke. https://preview.redd.it/z0kuiwftykjh1.png?width=1099&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9da501148f3ec0c39d4ea88e0bcd00c5530b000

DiamondHandsDarrell

This is probably why Fidelity and other exchanges end up closing people's accounts. Been with coinbase over a decade and sold 100 BTC and no problems. Yet many with less than 1 BTC complain that they've been locked out.

Porcellanidae

I would say that it depends entirely on how one obtains the BTC. Recently landed in a discussion around this as well, this was about the Coldcard case. Wherein the hackers created new seeds, which appeared to be stuffed already. There was no PII stolen, so I dont think that current legal frameworks consider this theft.  Check the thread here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vffs6m/comment/p1or6n4/

Ss_priest

You don’t sound like you want SOL, you sound like you want a reason to stay 100% BTC. That’s not nothing. If the ETH position already doesn’t excite you, adding a third alt you’d have to babysit might just be more to manage, not more upside. SOL’s a real network with real usage, but at 75-80% BTC and “not in a rush,” the simplest answer is usually the one you keep.

CompetitionFederal99

Some of them maybe, BTC has way too much insitutional adoption and nation state use and interest at this point. The entire financial system is moving towards a blockchain / tokenization model. So crypto may have been the first iteration of a the new upcoming system of finance, and lot of coins and tokens may go away eventually - but look at the real world use case of the Solana system, institutional BTC, it's changing for sure, but not going away.

ubermensch1001

I'm assuming you meant to reply to me here. This is exactly why I lean towards just being 100% BTC with the remaining funds and locking in those sats. I already have solid positions in both ETH and ADA, which I've been holding for a long time now, so I have plenty in the alts.

HearingOne2761

No lies detected. Solana got nice tech and fast transactions but when the cycle turns every alt gets sacrificed at the BTC altar. I keep small bag for fun but I would not put serious cash there if you already heavily in BTC and ADA

ubermensch1001

There was no alt season in 2024/2025, all of the alts did poorly. You could make a case that this was because of monetary policy, Ben Cowen has even started discussing this and both of us have compared it to the 2019 summer bull market, where it was primarily BTC driven. With this out of the way, I lean towards just being 100% BTC with the remaining funds that I have.

Django_McFly

Why not *neither*? LINK never got back to it's 2021 high. SOL got back there for like a day or two then quickly crashed. LINK was ~$50 peak in 2021, ~$25 in 2024... 2024 is with more oracles being used and Chainlink looking brighter than ever, just like now. You'd be lucky to get $15 bucks if the trend continues. ADA is an even worse story. It's like you look at diminishing returns every cycle and are assuming *the last cycle is probably the floor*. Imo that's a super gamble. You could bet on the 999,999/1,000,000 or the 1/1,000,000. If you don't stop being silly and take that easy 999,999/1,000,000 bet... None of those tokens are at attractive prices for risk vs just buying BTC imo. I'm not even a BTC maxi but LINK and ADA are like confirmed dog shit. Hoskinson was throating Trump late 2024 and the token still couldn't get within 50% of the 2021 highs. Sometimes the best thing to do if you MUST do something crypto is to buy some stablecoins 1:1 and get your little 4 to 8 % in defi. Or buy BTC. Or just pick the stuff that's winning rather than going out on a limb for darlings from literally two cycles back.

OkProject2361

Everything but BTC.

DeepNRadish

You are supporting my point. 100M is nothing for 1T asset like BTC in 2026. Its number of bitcoins not the USD value.

ubermensch1001

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. I actually considered getting ETH but really not that excited about it compared to just buying BTC. SOL I think has slightly more upside potential relative to ETH with regards to it's BTC pairing. Really leaning towards just 100% BTC though with these funds.

ubermensch1001

This is why I am leaning towards just taking all of these funds and buying nothing but BTC. As mentioned, when I look back on my many years in this space I overall would have been better off just buying BTC, especially in bear market years.

ubermensch1001

Stuff like this is kind of why I lean towards just buying BTC. What I like about Solana is the fact that it has staking rewards AND because it has a lot of interest from tradfi institutions. For instance, it's one of only 3 offered on E-Trade, other 2 being BTC and ETH. Not saying there won't be others, but it's obviously a relevant player.

tidemp

For better price execution. It's not feasible for average people to buy BTC anonymously. If you do, it'll cost you a premium. And for most people, it's pointless

Investor-seasoned

Since you are so confident that the price will rise so much, I assume you have all your funds in BTC. If the price doesn’t reach your prediction, you will already have suffered enough

Remarkable_Wish_5106

They want the gold, not BTC.

Eternal_Guilt

You hit me right in the feels. In 2012 I spent 83 BTC on LSD. In 2023-2025 I spent 83 BTC on 3 hookers and a lot of cocaine and nice restaurants

Otherwise_Train_5408

Why not borrow against the BTC??

ToddlerInTheWild

Folks wanted crypto to be the earth-shattering tech that AI is…But it’s not. What problem does crypto solve? It was just the most recent fad of penny stock speculation.. that’s all any of the coins were outside of BTC. But IMO, even BTC is toast in the long run.

TecBrat2

I made a small profit on Shiba. I have won and lost on BTC a few times. Right now I'm down about 40% because I was buying during the Bull run and bought too late. I'm not going to sell it while it's down. I'll let it ride to zero if I have to. It's lost money to me. If it ever comes back, that's a nice bonus! (It's not very much, so it's not going to break me if it goes to zero.) But, to more directly answer your question, I'm afraid it could, but hopeful that it won't.

blaziken8x

BTC is cheap right now, guy when there is fear, sell when there is greed. Think of the investment in long therm, at least 10+ years.

No-Gap-8601

Congrats, very smart to exchange some BTC for an actual house that you and your family will use and enjoy every day.

Ar0war

you are clearly new to this and you lack basic knowledge. I recommend you to research a bit more information The halving is basically there because Bitcoin needed a way to create new coins to incentivize miners, without having someone in charge deciding how much to print. The block reward started at 50 BTC and gets cut in half roughly every 4 years: 50 → 25 → 12.5 → 6.25 → 3.125, etc. Eventually it gets so small that it effectively reaches zero, with the total supply ending up at around 21 million BTC.

Klutzy-Sea-4857

SPX is a pure meme with no utility, just vibes and wishful thinking about flipping the S&P. Can it pump? Sure. Can it dump 90%? Also sure. If you want gains, put around 10% in memes and the rest in BTC/ETH. Do not yolo your entire stack into a meme late in the cycle.

Klutzy-Sea-4857

You bought BTC and ETH, those are not getting delisted. What altcoins did you actually buy? It sounds like you chased pumps. DCA into BTC and ETH only, forget the shitcoins, and wait 2+ years. Crypto is not hard, patience is.

SolonEunomia

BTC is not money. Where would people get the USD to lend to the US government? And what does the Fed do with the proceeds?

Appropriate-Talk-735

Keep buying BTC, the bull market is imminent.

EducationalBasis2078

I would have sold my wife and kids before selling my BTC😂

No-Average3202

Honestly I'd put Bitcoin in its own category. Everything else, including ETH, SOL, whatever's fighting for the "ETH killer" spot this cycle, feels like gambling to me dressed up as investing. BTC is different. It's been through multiple cycles at this point, there's an actual track record, and it keeps coming back. I'm personally 100% BTC for that reason, no cap. Real question isn't "will it come back" tbh, it's "do you still believe in this stuff or not." If you don't believe in the alts anymore, sell and move into something you actually believe in, no shame in that. If it's BTC you're holding, it's just a waiting game at this point. Don't rush it, winters don't last forever. I've got full confidence we see new highs on Bitcoin again. Can't say the same for the rest of the space though.

Remarkable_Wish_5106

A financial advisor buying a BTC ETF for a client is not institutional money, that's still retail. Institutional money does not own crypto assets. Please show me what Blackrock or any other big money management allocating to crypto?

BTC up 0.01% 💔🥀

iloverunning11

It’s already -50% and everyone’s grandma is able to invest in BTC now so you have a lot of speculators involved. The fact that hack which is much different from all these other situations has not moved BTC price much yet means nothing

Project_Demosthenes_

☠️ do you even know how price mechanics work? This is what people said about BTC for the last 17 years too btw. 🫠

BestialitySurprise

Selling when BTC is low to buy a house while house pricing is high. I would definitely not buy a home in this looming depression that's around the corner. Much better to wait for prices to come down and interest rates to drop. BTC isn't going back up anytime soon but this was a very bad time to sell. Even if you sold at $100k+ I'd be yelling at you for buying a house today. Bad investment.

sheilarenewaldayspa

“Dumb ass kids and this wife thing I got hanging around”. It’s good you don’t talk about your BTC that way. Keep your values straight. /s

cowboy_shaman

Easy. Don’t daytrade BTC.

JimmySki6166

Absolutely correct! My buddies that have new BMWs or Mercedes that cost them crazy money they don’t have, are scrambling monthly to pay their mortgages! I laugh! I have a newer paid off Jeep Cherokee, and the would have been car payments go to BTC weekly and monthly!!

_Underscore_Unders

"Dumb ass kids and wife thing" Your family is blessed. You clearly have more prominent issues at hand than your love affair with BTC.

arBettor

"Outperformed BTC 3 years in a row and outperforming this year too" You're high on your own memes. BTC outperformed it in 2025, and BTC's outperforming it in 2026 too.
