Bitcoin’s Quantum Wake-Up Call: 1.79 Million Exchange BTC Have Exposed Public Keys.

Kind of. This is the classic case for self custody. I like Swan BTC’s ethos: they actively encourage you to self custody and not treat their exchange like a wallet. But yeah, keys and coins and such- scrutinize everything. Just because it has a nonthreatening domain like blockchain.com or crypto.com doesn’t mean it’s not a threat to your funds.
Wholly mama. In general there is only one pool of liquidity, it follows the path of least resistance and in effect it is used to collect liquidity to use when alt coin season is ripe. Works like this. BTC is used to attract stuck (in alt coins) and new liquidity. Which means BTC marketing shakes out bagholder liquidity from alts and atteacts outside new money to prop up and pump btc price. Once this process is exhausted then they use all of this collected liquidity to pump alts. Don’t go against the stream. But if you’re stuck in an alt bagholding. Sit tight its turn will come but watching btc pump is very emotionally difficult while stuck bagholding some random shitcoin.

Multi-sig is one of those Bitcoin features that sounds complicated until you realize what problem it actually solves: you don’t have to trust a single private key with everything. For serious holdings, that change in the security model is huge. The interesting part is that multi-sig doesn’t eliminate risk — it changes where the risk lives. Now you have to think about key distribution, backups, recovery and what happens if one signer disappears. Security is rarely about finding a perfect solution; it’s about removing the easiest way to lose everything. How many people here actually use multi-sig for their BTC?
Yes sell and move to BTC
Banking scaled over time to what it is today. That said, simplified it’s the managing of debits and credits. Could you do the scale of what exists today by hand? No. But that wasn’t the debate. The comment was about if electricity went away. If that happened banks would change their operations but continue to exist in some capacity. To simply change the cryptography standards of BTC as you propose would require a hard fork, nodes would have to adopt new consensus rules, and existing ASIC miners might become useless. Bitcoin’s security model relies on making block solving computationally expensive so doing that would also reduce BTC security. So sure you could choose a simpler cryptography algorithm and make it easier. But good luck doing that without electricity and by hand. If you don’t have a small home miner, it’s worth checking out for learning. You can also set up a BTC node if you have an ssd with \~700gb of space. These are great ways to participate in the blockchain process and get some hands on knowledge.
Can Schwab hold your BTC like any other exchange?
Whatever platform you buy from. Make sure you can withdrawl the BTC to your own personal wallet. Some platforms hold it for you and wont let you withdraw as BTC. NO WAY. Not your private keys, not your bitcoin.
Certain jurisdictions accept Bitcoin or are contemplating accepting BTC for taxes, so taxes doesn’t hold that argument, tbf
Those are hardly unique to Bitcoin- cash enables those behaviors too. BTC is uniquely able to transfer value across boundaries that are normally under the thumb of overbearing governments and corporate monopolies. Immigrants sending remittances to family back home is one of the biggest examples of this.
BTC at $81K now . That $83K breakout feels like a different story. Is this just a healthy pullback before the next leg up or are we heading lower? 🚀

Manually entered a receiving address instead of just copy/pasting; had a dyslexic moment and swapped 2 characters incorrectly... Sent $200 worth of BTC to oblivion (or some very lucky, unsuspecting recipient). Happened in 2017-2018 🙃 Copy/paste your addresses folks, and double/triple check them!
Honestly the boring advice is the right one: only put in what you'd be fine losing, stick to BTC/ETH while you learn, and move coins off the exchange once the amount starts to matter. Everything else you'll pick up by watching the market for a few months.
The government, which is elected and backed by the people. Yes, bitcoin could be that, but then the value of USD will go down even faster, and big wrong things would happen. And, you know - bitcoin is just the new printer that wants to replace the old printer, and it has slightly different software. also, new printer was built by a new group of people who think they want to stop the old group of people with the old printer. Now, people's savings, thinking, earnings, everything is officially kept in USD. Not in BTC. And it will be so for the foreseeable future, while some people who believe in the new printer will play with the new printer and hope it some day becomes the main printer or the only printer. BUT, the old group with the old printer might also not want to give up their printing system, and will be updating software too. So it comes own to how many people back which printer and also which printer is currently official.
Aight, everyone saying dollar is backed by x or bitcoin is backed by x: where can I go to redeem dollars or bitcoins for a commensurate amount of x? Does someone keep a stash of those things ready to be traded out? Where do I go to redeem $100 worth of "faith and credit? or "superpower?" or "aircraft carriers?" or 0.002 BTC worth of electricity? Is someone holding $1.65 trillion worth of gigawatts to be immediately exchanged for all of BTC in circulation? Who is holding all these things and where? Is there a form to fill out during the exchange? Can I get $8.58 worth of "the military" on demand? It's kinda one major definition of what it means to be "backed by" is. That you can go and get it.
Go read the white paper and search everything what you don’t understand. After that go to ‘souvereign sessions’ on YT or ‘BTC sessions’ they have playlists with ‘how to keep your Bitcoin save’. Practical tutorials and really a learning curve. Whatever trading platform you buy BTC, it isn’t yours. You need at least own your own wallet.
There's also a supply issue that doesn't get enough attention. A lot of altcoins have ongoing token unlocks and new supply entering the market, so even when demand improves, prices can struggle to keep up. BTC doesn't face that same kind of dilution. It might help explain why a broader recovery in crypto doesn't automatically translate into a recovery across smaller tokens.
2014 I bought a BTC "Credit Card" with an address and private key scratchoff. $500 right out the door in 3 months. I call it tuition. Pulled my head out and took security very seriously. To the point even that I bought a ColdCard(CC) "For the Paranoid" and thought I figured it out. 6 months before the ColdCard Q hacks I moved my stack back onto another hard wallet because I saw a schematic about how the CC worked and that was diff from my understanding. Figured I'd play with the CC more and get deep knowledge. Then the CC thefts started. Crisis averted. I call that divine intervention. \*Then the boat accident. Now I'm into US gov bonds.
Two full years with Warren powerless and we couldn't get BTC as legal tender with no capital gains exclusion. It's only pain from here on out because in January she's getting her stripes back.
Crypto is not as famous as it was back in 2021. Nobody cares. Not even BTC is worth buying. Its worth 80k. Why would any new investors want to buy it. They can't be millionares buying BTC.
For me it's the fact that nobody can just wake up tomorrow and decide to print another 10 million BTC. Sounds simple, but once you start comparing monetary systems, that becomes a pretty big deal.
Sent 10 BTC to the wrong address many years ago. At the time, it wasn’t a very big financial loss, but now it seems tragic!🤦
Check out the BTC domination bro, that's the answer, that sh&t in last time kinda annoying with the alts so I agree with you lol
Absolutely, It has been all joy since 2024 oct... who cares what BTC does, 4x since then :D

BTC goes up, most alts barely do anything. BTC drops a little, and suddenly everything is down 5-10% lol. I was looking through some smaller coins on mexc earlier and honestly, a lot of these charts look pretty rough. I keep seeing people talk about altseason coming, but at this point I’m starting to wonder if we’re just stuck waiting for something that might not happen anytime soon. Are you guys still holding alts or mostly sticking with BTC for now? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Here we go, JP Morgan manipulation of BTC. Time to sell.
Ahmmm, maybe you are talking with some else, we are talking about how can BTC become "important" or more commun use if its not useful? And ur grandad can hate as much as he want email, but if the society requires to use it, he will use it. It's not the same for BTC. Just try to think before write bullshit please. Tecnolgy become ESSENTIAL when u can't do the same thing without that. And about bank and money transfer....in UE they cost 1€....any size.....and also during the weekend there is immediate credit...... BTC is actually useless for the big part of the people. That it. It's been 15 years baby. Email and computer changed the world in 20 years
I did have XBCI and BTCI until I noticed that even with dividends they under perform FBTC and IBIT in total return. Sold all shares and bought BTC instead.
Sure, you're not wrong. Though, one can also say that is comparing a mouse to Chicxulub. (No, BTC is not Chicxulub.)
I keep seeing all these videos on YT that say retail is gone and "that's a good thing" because it means BTC is a "maturing" asset being "adopted" by institutions.
Ehmmmm......are we still talking about how BTC how can BTC can be used by everyone ? And u literally gave me the same expale of before. So btc is usefull just during the weekend? And I don't know If u have noticed....BUT SENDING BTC WITH THE SAME PACE OF FIAT IS FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
Way back then, I traded my precious BTC for shitcoins in hopes of getting a better return. Turned out to be one of the worst decisions of my life.
Diverse to lower the risk. Don't just DCA automatically, be aware of how much percentage your BTC takes of your portfolio. In my opinion 5% to 10% is enough to enjoy the potential upside in the long term, while maintaining the risk relatively low. If you see you exceed the limit you set to yourself, just stop DCAing
Freedom just mirrors the society you live in. Nobody forces the Joe to be a greedy idiot looking for "get-rich-schemes", nobody forces to hold them something outside of BTC/ETH/XMR with lower volatility and low profits. While idiots got scammed, people in Iran or Russia got the opportunity to move money around without the US censorship; people in EU to save some money from outrageous taxation; etc. Decentralization is like a gun or drugs legalization - you can live a proper life with it or make a shooting/an overdose, you need brains and responsibility.
Bitcoin dropping from around $69k in 2021 to about $15.8k in 2022 is a pretty good reminder of the risk involved. It eventually recovered and made new highs, but anyone buying near the top had a rough couple of years 😅 So I find JPMorgan's long-term outlook interesting, but I think the big question is whether investors can actually handle that kind of volatility along the way. A 10% expected annual return sounds nice on paper, but the journey matters too. Curious how others see it — would you be comfortable holding BTC through another 70%+ drop?
BTC opens your eyes to possibilities
I use River, I’ve enjoyed it thus far and on idle cash they pay in BTC at 3.5% APY. Their mobile app is good and when I have to move money to my bank it’s there next day
Not having anything backed up. Then my laptop crashed and I did a factory reset. Goodbye 7.5 BTC forever. (Granted it was worth about $25 in total at the time and if I were a smarter man I would have just replaced it at that price plus a lot more)
How much of this will actually get back to the victims? Seizing the BTC is one thing. Sorting out who gets it seems like the harder part. Would returning BTC or selling it for compensation be fairer to the people who lost money?
I'm experiencing the same issue. After over 10 years, I'm having my first problem. Suddenly, my account is set to "Defi only" due to a "violation of our terms and conditions," even though my coins have been sitting idle for over a year and I haven't sent, received, or traded anything. When I asked how I could regain access to my account, I received no answer, only instructions on how to transfer my coins. This is annoying because I first have to register somewhere to get an address to send them to. This is what they wrote to me: "We’re writing to inform you that your account has been suspended due to a violation of our Terms and Conditions. To ensure you can transfer any custodial funds remaining in your account, please follow the steps below." ``` What we need: Reply to this message with a single selfie that includes: Your ID document A handwritten note with the following details: Today's date Today's BTC price Your full name Your date of birth The statement: “I authorize Blockchain.com to send the funds in my [specify: Trading Account or Exchange Account] to the following address.” The cryptocurrency address where you’d like the funds to be sent. Please write the complete crypto address on your hand written note and copy paste it on the body of your email.
21 million btc in total means there is no inflation, no hidden wealth tax caused by the money printer of a central bank. Unlike gold via certificates, BTC is verifiable, anyone could setup a bitcoin node and analyse the Blockchain. In other words: It's Proof of Work protocol makes it the most secure currency. Only culprit of BTC is its adaptation as a cash system. Its primary role is currently being a store of value. And states will not give up their monopoly fiat money, so the best thing which could happen is a Bitcoin Standard so that fiat money is backed up with Bitcoin. But I don't see this coming in the near future.
Can you give me reasons why BTC is better than BCH? I'm onto the point that BTC is controlled by really wealthy entities otherwise it would exist. People don't support the blockchain, ie whoever holds the infrastructure they're the owner.
I'm not quote *that* O.G. And I got into BTC as a teenager, so it was always VERY little dollar value when I would do it. But I also used to give bitcoin away, $5 here and there. Friends, sister, etc. Those sats are... worth quite a bit more these days. Nobody I gave any to still has it. Nobody.
I own more BTC than per Norway citizen ! #proundplankton 🙃
I’ve lost so much BTC by not buying more when I first heard about it
Can you sell your BTC to the machine at a high markup?
Accidentally paid BTC for my dinner once back in 2019 at the dip 😭 I could have dined at a Michelin start restaurant with fiat 😂
Nobody gives away free BTC these days, but you can definitely stack sats yourself. Grab a Lightning wallet like Phoenix and check out Fountain podcast app to earn sats just listening to shows, or play games on sBTC. Also read The Bitcoin Standard to get your mind right. Small amounts add up faster than you think, welcome down the rabbit hole!
Invest in Maple Finance BTC Yield product. Lost 25% just like that
But if bitcoin has intrinsic value, how come is it always about its trading value vs. the US Dollar? example, BTC reaches $100K, why does this matter? It has intrinsic value. Right?
Serious question: how many Times did you lost coins in your web Wallet? Are you Trader, cause otherwise you cant understand how important IT IS to save your Money when Market Crashs? You must Not answer this, but think about..These "Hardware Wallets" are only saving your private Keys of your web Wallet. Nothing else. I Had a Ledger and everytime when a new Chain goes online, i Had to prepare many Things only to the possibility of using the new Chain. Coins that are Not "massive mcap or Trading Volumes the Ledger even didnt know that this coin exist. I was fucked Up with everytime getting coins transfered to use it for staking or earning interest. And when you are a BTC millionaire or other Tokens Worth more than 1m, you wont use a trezor or Ledger 😅 ...
My brother died with 12 BTC and did not write down the seed phrase, screwed his wife out of a fortune. Write it down and put it in a safe place.
Educating yourself about why BTC is worth pouring all your money into is smart. Otherwise we get blind crypto traders. If you want people to develop conviction and understanding in BTC, why discourage learning and excitement around it?
Chamath is a shill for whatever way the wind blows. You’ll catch him in one interview saying bitcoin to a million, another one saying it’s going to zero, or that his biggest regret is selling all his BTC. Back when WSB was getting popular over a certain short squeeze he was claiming to be for retail traders blah blah Basically he is an opportunist that tries to say something that will get him a headline imho
Lost my wallet in Vietnam in 2018 (not a BTC wallet, the actual leather thing you keep in your pocket) and all I had was my phone, so the only way I could get money was selling through a BTC ATM while the price was really low
Damn, that's awesome to hear one more scammer is out on BTC
every year it's the same thing, BTC is going to disappear, it'll get hacked... but none of that has happened, imo, everyone forgets that there are a lot of ppl working to make sure it doesn't happen.
A spot ETF doesn't mechanically tie BTC to stocks; it gives brokerage investors another route to direct BTC exposure. Any correlation comes from how people trade it.
Sold 100 BTC for 380 EUR each in 2014.
Same thing that has been happening for weeks now… Up, Down, Up, Down… It’s called chop and before you ask no I don’t know why it’s happening I could speculate and so could everybody else in these comments but nobody knows for sure, also it’s almost the entire market not just BTC so you could take comfort and knowing that. Or not…
Most valuable currency in near future will be water and fresh air. Without clean food grade water humans and also all the agriculture just can't survive and without it also BTC would be obsolete. In medieval era humans just hunted for their food and used also their own ways to get dressed and so on. All the rest resources what human actually were using and are currently using are just tools of exchange, real value comes just abilities of survive and carry life on ahead. Money is worthless in that case. All what matters is clean unpolluted environment that makes life possible on Earth. Sadly there are sort of people who are ignoring this fact and instead of betting on and financing science for survival are just printing money and playing their war and power filthy games
It’s not easy to use. Grandma, grandpa can’t and won’t learn it. Imagine making one mistake and sending to the wrong address Wallet hacks and compromises Exchanges holding/suspending P2P Purchases are not instant - yes there are ways but again , that’s not ease of use Very constant fluctuations in price Imagine selling a house for BTC and it crashes 10 % in a week Saylor, institutions, early adopters owning a bulk Maxis are so in love with this, and neglect certain aspects of reality
yes thats right, but you're only taxed on profit so converting stable to Euro is a tiny difference, tiny profit, and will almost always be negative especially once fees are deducted. If for example say you bought $50 of BTC years ago and you sold it now for $100. You owe tax on the $50 difference (at your nominal rate, say 30% or whatever). when you convert that to Euro it is another taxable event yes, but you'll only owe extra tax on the difference between the $100USDT and the 89 Euro you cash out (which after fees is likely more like 86/87 euro so a loss technically). if the $100 is now worth 90 Euro after fees you'll owe tax on the extra 1. If the conversion rate had dropped, you'll owe nothing. The stable conversion is only affected by the exchange rate between USDST and your local currency. You only pay tax on gains; Stable to Euro isn't a gain
BTC value is not energy, it's the amount of energy used
Why does everyone ignore that for the extra 30% return over large cap stock, investors need to take on 300% more volatility? 10% BTC vs. 7.5% large cap. Risk doesn’t seem to make up for the return
10.2K BTC inflows so far this week 🤩
Who wants to tell him that BTC hasn’t even beat inflation in half a decade?
As a business owner, every time someone asks me to explain bitcoin to them (usually another business owner), I use the “send money halfway around the world” example. And…how when you send it using a bank, it takes 3-4 days, and sometimes the receiving bank holds it even longer, and then the currency values change, then the bank charges you $25-75 to send it, then the exchange rate has another 5-8% fee tacked on…and so it takes almost a week and several hundred dollars to do it. Or…you can send BTC for a couple bucks and it’s delivered to the recipient in seconds. That’s when they almost always say, “wow…why hasn’t anyone ever explained it like that before?” And if they are still anti-crypto, they always say, “well…if you mess up the address, you loose all your money.” At that point I know nothing will change their mind and I drop the discussion.
I was mining Bitcoin back when you could do it on GPUs, actually mined a block myself with my dining room full of GPUs. Discovered silk road. Pawned everything including my laptop which had my BTC wallet on it. Properly a dozen Bitcoin but wasn't worth much. Never got it back. It was encrypted so the best they could do was format the laptop
More kids in Africa own and understand BTC than those in the U.S. https://youtu.be/l4mUySspn1E?si=3OlWBGs_aEgETli5
The "article" says nothing about WHY JPM thinks BTC will appreciate 10%.
Inveterate gamblers love volatility. Not everyone wants that. Many of us with families, who prefer stable, long-term growth, view other asset classes as more stable than BTC. It’s okay to want some Vegas in your life; we all do, but with house money, it’s VTI and chill.
And if JPM was so wrong about BTC before, why should people trust them now? That's a bad track record.
Your post will make BTC go down, you ruined it
If you think Clarity passing was going to make Bitcoin holders rich you are clueless. There are far more impactful macro factors than Clarity. Clarity would have had very little impact on BTC if it passed.
Right around the end of 2011 I was paid for a freelance gig with both cash and 330BTC (was about $1200 iirc). The wallet file was saved to a thumb drive that I have since lost (likely 2012). The best part is that there's a more than 0% chance I still have it somewhere, I just have absolutely no idea where to look and don't want to invite the inevitable insanity. I do however know exactly what it looks like: a silver, WIRED branded deal with the swivel out thing like a ledger.
The true path is to dabble on 3 of them and if you can all 4. BTC + ETF + a business or “passive income” (which is a lie, there’s no thing as passive income you have to manage your drop shipping or your Airbnb. Source I have a Airbnb)
Bearish on crypto but formally modelled BTC outperforming traditional asset classes over the next decade. Even the 10% CAGR is too bearish but the fact that its coming from JPM is insane
\- I am very sceptical about fiat money and major governments throughout the world are saddled with insane amounts of debt. I am quite certain the money printers are going to go into overtime the next 5-10 years \- I read the book Broken Money and I found it really interesting. It really explains the history of money, why humans need currency to represent a store of favours and what makes a reliable currency. Bitcoin ticks a lot of the boxes which I find very interesting I am middle aged and I am taking my money seriously nowadays; I want to stop working ASAP as possible and have spent a good chunk of time the past few years looking at what I can invest in to help me stop working sooner rather than later. I've decided to invest in a few things and BTC is one of these things.
I just want somewhere to live, transport and food to eat. Going forward holding a fraction of a BTC might help me out with that.
>The value of bitcoin is in USD. This statement demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of what value is. Maybe don't make declarative statements about things you're ignorant about. Just because bitcoin can be *exchanged for* USD* does not mean USD gives BTC its value or that its value *is in USD*. The exchange rate is just a way to measure purchasing power. Learn how money works before continuing to embarrass yourself.
BTC has many currency pairs, just think how absurd it would be to use an analogous example of an AUD/USD order book. Is my AUD worthless too? And how about your house- you want to gift it to me too? Because right now it’s just sitting there and worthless unless the marketplace decides otherwise in the context of a purchase transaction. Otherwise it’s all hypothetical. Same goes for any other asset class.
BTC..come on down The Price Is Right!!
I’m in the same boat as you—except I sold my property in Shanghai. The Chinese economy is collapsing severely; housing prices in Shanghai have plummeted by 50% over the last two years. I have to go all-in on BTC; it’s the only way I might be able to recover all my losses!
At this point I agree, stocks are at ATHs and BTC still dipping. Simply returning to the mean would justify this prediction
Why wouldn’t you want volatility? Just buy the dip and be patient. Put the money you don’t need to live in BTC and enjoy. No other asset es as volatile and at the same time “safe” than BTC
This could become the world's first bitcoin pilgrimage! I did the Camino del norte for example. Now imagine you could walk/cycle the whole trail with hotels/hostels accepting BTC as payment. Could be cool!
Correlation alone doesn't show Wall Street controls it; stocks and BTC can move together because both respond to liquidity and risk appetite. The real test is whether that link persists when market conditions change.
Did they launch a BTC etf or something
BTC will mathematically* always go up, how fast it goes up is where everyone's placing their bets... *^(on average over time)
It was 2017 when the transaction cost exploded on BTC It seems crazy it was more reasonable to perform a small transaction via BTC a decade ago and it has only added more roadblocks since Jeez, the first BTC transaction was for pizza in 2010. The type of regular everyday easy stuff you would need a currency to perform
BTC's broad adoption is important for longevity and health More people = more better
No, BTC is a mathematical trust Banks are just noticing the writing* on the wall... ^(equations... there are equations for this)
THIS---anyone who is in BTC or crypto for real understands the rabbit hole you go through, even being here nearly for 10 years I still learn all the the time

Which is why I’m sure all of them own BTC instead of gold, stocks, and cash… Lol
