BTC Purchasing Question

How much BTC does it take to retire? I ran $3k–$10k a month through three price paths

First BTC buy: ~$5K DCA over 12 months is the plan. Help me understand where to start.

Follow-up: I asked whether "absorbed vs pierced" big orders predict anything. I tracked 1 million of them. Pierced orders don't keep going, they give a little back (pre-registered)

The "hacked by AI" framing mixes up two very different things 🤔 Breaking the math itself isn't something smarter software does. SHA-256 and the secp256k1 signatures don't get weaker because a model is clever, you'd need a new math breakthrough or a large quantum computer, and quantum is the threat actually worth tracking, mostly for coins whose public keys are already exposed on-chain. Where AI could genuinely matter is bug hunting in the client code. That risk has history: the 2010 value overflow bug minted about 184 billion BTC in one block and was rolled back within hours, and CVE-2018-17144 was an inflation bug patched before anyone exploited it. But that cuts both ways, since the same tools are available to the people reviewing an open codebase. So the honest version is "implementation risk never hits zero," not "goes to zero." Much less catchy as a soundbite 🙂

I'm gonna be honest right here. This is straight FEAR MONGERING you are trying to incite fear among the newer crypto users and so is he. If you geniunely know what you're doing you truly do not need to have so many different wallets and different addresses for every coin. And like everyone else is saying, if they can basically break into and hack any btc address then actually if you think about it nothing is truthfully safe and you might as well just sell everything out of fear. That's the stupid mindset you are trying to herd people into like sheep. If you know half enough about Crypto and how to actually stay Safe on the block chain Do Not Listen To This Woman. I've noticed and it sounds bad ik but there's not a lot of women in Crypto that actually know what they are talking about. Controversial opinion and I mean no offense by it to anyone whatsoever it's just something I have noticed. Theres plenty of smart people in Crypto but between all the liars and Fear Mongering idiots it becomes hard for someone with little block chain knowledge, and knowledge of previous occurrences in Cyrpto to differentiate between the truth and someone just trying to get you out of your bags and get you worried to death. Is this something to worry about at the end of the day? Yes but not like we need to "go into a bunker mode" if you're smart your normal occurrences on the blockchain consist of what you could call a "bunker mode" anyway. Complete nonsense, BTC is not going anywhere theres too many institutions with their greedy hands in it along with Governments they won't let their big holdings be worthless one day mark my words

And consider that's with a ton of ETH being bought up by BitMine. Though in fairness BTC's 5-yr chart doesn't look good vs. other assets either, despite all of the DAT accumulation.

I don't think it's luck. This address got 5 of the 301 blocks mined between the first of these and the last, which is about 1.7% of the network, or roughly 18 EH/s. A miner that size finds 2 or 3 blocks a day, so 4 in 20 hours happens about one day in four. It shows as unknown because the coinbases carry no pool tag at all, only the block height and an extranonce, so [mempool.space](http://mempool.space) has nothing to match against its list of pools. The more interesting part is where the money went. Block rewards can't be spent for 100 blocks, and the first one was spent within hours of that wait ending. It was swept together with 107 small coins from 86 other addresses into a single output, sent to bc1qfuq4ld6arx2nhfdrazxj5fk3hvdwm84hqsat42. That address has moved about 7,700 BTC across more than 1,300 payments. So this isn't someone's garage rig. The rewards land in a wallet that handles a lot of other money too, though that still doesn't tell you who it is. And no, there's no way to tell from the chain. A block records the payout address and whatever the miner writes into the coinbase, and nothing about the hardware. 18 EH/s is also tens of thousands of machines, not one. All five blocks use the same address and the same coinbase layout, which points to one operator or one pool's software. A pool that pays everything to a single address would look exactly the same, though.

Unfortunately I disagree. BTC isn't the lowest hanging fruit here, tradfi is. You genuinely believe that said hacker would think to themselves "I want to break SHA-256 so I can steal from dormant btc wallets" Such a monumental break in a revolutionary hashing algo warrants a break in a much more bigger system and what's bigger than the financial and military system?

Mentions:#BTC

Again the probability of Bitcoin being the prime candidate for said hack currently is low. The attacker will literally need to have a personal stake in seeing BTC fail to attack it first considering there are other larger financial assets to hack first. Breaking sha-256 isn't solely a bitcoin problem but the world's problem so patches and all are cute but btc will be the least of our worries hence why Chamath is just fear mongering.

Fair points. The "dump right as BTC loses the 50-day" timing does look a bit too neat, and $22M is small change for him. Could easily be clearing the deck to buy back lower.

Lookonchain estimates about $22.3M sold, with ETH by far the biggest chunk. He says macro and geopolitics look "a bit dicey", that the market may need to go down to go up, and that he'll sit on the sidelines for now. Only nine days ago he said he was long BTC and ETH. At the same time, BTC is hovering around $81K, and Bitcoin ETFs saw about $635M of outflows on Oct 22 alone.

Appreciate what you're saying. Spending: completely agree, and it's the biggest lever. $3k was just an example. You set your own monthly spend in the simulator, and it makes a huge difference. On the baseline path, 3 BTC at $2,000 a month lasted over 40 years when I ran it earlier this week. Yield: fair point, it doesn't model interest. A rough workaround is to knock what the yield would pay off your monthly spend and run that. I've stayed away from building it in partly because the yield products that blew up last cycle are the reason a lot of people now won't lend their coins out at all. It's something I need to look at again. Cashing out a slice: also not modelled directly, but you can get close. Run it with 80% of the stack and subtract what the other 20% would pay you each month. You're right that it changes the picture a lot if you'd rather hodl most of it long term. And yes on not keeping all eggs in one basket. Anyone who held through 2018 or 2022 knows that stare.

Stay away from Kraken. This exchange ruined my life and stole 360 BTC from my account. They are notorious for robbing their customers. I lost my life in 2018, my entire life’s work due to Jesse Powell. They need to be shut down and put in prison. Just a heads up!

Good question, and you’ve basically found the model’s biggest assumption. After the last modelled cycle (peak in late 2045), the price drops to that cycle’s low and then drifts up slowly: about 2% a year, tapering off, so it never gets much more than \~35% above that low. On top of that there’s a gentle ±10% swing every 4 years and some month-to-month noise. So from the mid-2040s it’s pretty much the long flat decade you describe, while spending keeps rising with inflation. For a 30-year plan starting now, that flat stretch is roughly the last 10–15 years, and it’s where most of these plans start to struggle. It’s a big part of why 40 years needs noticeably more BTC than 30. Where you’re right that it’s generous: all three paths climb to a 2029 peak first, so none of them test a flat or falling decade at the *start* of drawdown. You can build that yourself by pushing the peaks later and making the drops deeper, and it gets ugly fast. So agreed: 30 years with no more buying leans heavily on the cycles behaving. I’d treat the table as a starting point, not a number to bet on.

Why not just open up a Fidelity crypto account? DCA with strike. Set it up for 417 every month, have it sent to your fidelity after a certain account, call it a day. You’ll be buying actual BTC and still have it in a safer platform.

Mentions:#DCA#BTC

Look, Relai is a Bitcoin savings app. It lets users buy €100 in BTC per month, with zero fees. IMHO, that’s a good deal, IF you’re looking to DCA Bitcoin on a monthly basis. Could it be improved? Sure, but keep in mind that they’ve only been around for 6 years. Apart from that, there are big exchanges, which can lower their fees because they’ve been around for a long time and they offer tons of shitcoins aswell. And sure, there is Strike aswell,… I’m not claiming it’s a bad service at all, but it’s been around for a longer time. All that said, sure, lower fees would be nice. But as a Bitcoin savings app, I like Relai. ✌🏻

DCA is usually an OK option, but given that markets go up like 75% of the time, you usually end up being behind from lump sum. In terms of BTC, we are near the end of the bear market, its up already 30%, and will likely keep rising over the next year. I would lump sum now even with the 30% increase.

When you sell your Bitcoin, you’ll owe a significant chunk in capital gains tax the following year. Borrowing against it isn't a taxable event. If you don't want a centralized lender like Ledn holding your keys, you can use a non-custodial DeFi protocol like Aave (using wrapped BTC like cbBTC or WBTC) to borrow USDC at \~4–6% variable APR. You can borrow up to \~70%, though keeping your LTV around 25–35% is much safer to avoid liquidation during dips. Since Bitcoin tends to outpace a 5% borrow rate over the long run, your LTV naturally shrinks as BTC appreciates—meaning you can roll the debt indefinitely without ever selling your stack. Look into the 'Buy, Borrow, Die' strategy.

This certainly isn’t financial advice so don’t take it as such, But the purpose of something like LEDN is you put your BTC up for collateral in exchange for FIAT. The advantage is that you still own the BTC. It’s just in their custody until the loan is paid off. So instead of selling the appreciating asset and getting hit with taxes you get to borrow against it. Their rates are something like \~10% APR. But do your research, if BTC drops significantly they can Margin call you but if you have enough of a buffer to survive volatility you’re good.

Bitcoin exists in the risk asset basket. When risk appetite in markets go down, so does bitcoin and crypto. And vice versa. If BTC ever gonna be a safe haven during global financial turmoil, that part has to fundamentally change from where it is today. And we havent seen too many reasons for that to happen yet. Those reasons needs to be utility reasons. Value is always governed by two factors : scarcity and utility. No one can argue against the scarcity factor, but when it comes to utility we havent seen much progress in BTC or even crypto as a whole. Understanding how money flows between asset classes may change your perspective, atleast on how much of your portefolio you want to allocate into risk assets. The better off you financially, the less risk you need to take. The closer you are to zero wealth, the more risk you need to take in order to get yourself to a «well of finacially» position. Big money have little reason to allocate a big portion of their funds into crypto until the utility factor improves.

Time tested local bottom. BTC has attempt break 80K multiple times this past month, only to bounce up immediately. Your 50K projection is strictly based on emotion.

BTC is worth more than currency. Hold the BTC if you can for a long term investment. I’d sell my wife before I sold my BTC 🤣

I would probably do 1/3 in BTC, 1/3 in growth stocks and 1/3 in dividend stocks

Blockchain.info or blockchain.com are one of the original exchanges for BTC. Never once had a problem in 12 plus yrs. Your account was probably locked because you cant prove funds, identity or something. Its 30k so reach out to support and verify your identity, source of funds or w/e you need to do. Be proactive. Most youngins here have never used blockchain.com etc but they also need to adhere to new KYC requirements.

I understand but BTC is not isolated so what you said can't be applied to today's market. It did apply back then when BTC was created but not anymore.

Reading all the comments you just brought forth an interesting point: BTC is now backed by a system, gov's real world assets, hobbiest buying and selling stuff and tieing the value to btc, companies, techies, financial institutions, whole economies, micro/macro financial systems, savings & retirements, payments gateways and systems etc... and is responsible for liquid movements in the market and trade. The prices have a lot of resistance points backed by systems and checkpoints. To realistically break it they'd have to systematically break down the whole system including the nodes and mining rigs and traders and ecommercers and sellers and people in the blockchain system itself. Also, ironically burning BTC will only increase the value. I am maybe no economist but I think it hypothetically going to 0 would be very peculiar situation unless maybe otherwise stated. Glad the famed VC asked the question it allowed me to do my own deep research to come to this conclusion (I didn't know BTC had such a breadth of economic and financial utility).

Agreed. I’m referring to BTC not cryptocurrency in general.

All that may be true but it makes ai stocks even more appealing relative to BTC which does nothing and is not safe in any way.

I’ve got an order in for 1 dollar for 21 million BTC so it can never hit zero.

No, they'd follow you home and bash you in the head on your way into your house. Then point a gun at your kid's head until you take them to your BTC wallet and send it all to the address they just spun up.

Mentions:#BTC

Theoretically, that would be true if BTC existed in isolation. But what about the rest of the crypto market diluting its value? BTC isn't the only cryptocurrency out there, so new supply is still being issued across the broader crypto market.

Hedged my bets on Kalshi. If my BTC goes to zero in the next 10 years I’m a billionaire

Whoa thats a lot. BTC does what bitcoin does regardless of all that.

Si estás en Portugal, priorizaría una plataforma regulada que permita comprar y retirar BTC a una wallet propia. Binance y Kraken son opciones que merece la pena comparar por sus comisiones, métodos de depósito y condiciones de retirada. Para empezar, compraría cantidades pequeñas y aprendería a gestionar la seguridad antes de acumular una suma importante. Una cold wallet puede tener sentido cuando el importe lo justifique, pero recuerda que la autocustodia también implica responsabilidad: perder las claves puede significar perder el acceso a tus fondos.

I've read up on Segwit, and it does sound very sus. How could the Bitcoin community adopt this horrible code "upgrade"? Must be they bribed the miners and node operators? Segwit is idiotic. It broke wallets, made transactions more complex, introduced an inflation bug, and generaly enshittified BTC hugely.

So, no Lambo then? BTC-USD is just a marker

There are places like Bitrefill that let you use BTC to get gift cards straight up. You can also look at other like Walden Pay, it lets you load crypto onto a card and then just shop on Steam in a similar way as with any regular card. Just make sure you are sticking with trusted sellers so you dont end up deadling with scammers

Obviously BTC pumping has no correlation to a fucking McRib. Do you not know what humor is?

Mentions:#BTC

Just people being bad-faith in the argument by being pedantic because BTC is actually worthless and just a scam, so smoke and mirror instead of substance type arguments are all they really have. I suppose to be precise one would have to say that BTC will "asymptotically converge to zero", but just saying it's going to zero is obviously short-hand to be concise and emphasize the point that it's conceptually worthless. And yes, BTC is conceptually worthless, it will converge to zero inevitably, just one doesn't exactly know when or how that will happen.

lol….BTC has many utilities like take money from desperate brokies. 😂 Or help the cartel and despot regimes launder money. Many utilities…

This might not be the right sub to find BTC skeptics.

Sadly they have to. The price of living is so damn high. I really feel for these people. It’s so hard to move up the socio economical ladder enough as it is… To own BTC long term you need to not only have savings, but also enough extra savings where you can put a decent amount into something as volatile as BTC. Otherwise it’s an emotional roller coaster that’s nearly impossible to not get affected by.

I fired up my DCA as soon as BTC drifted off -50% from ATH and I am still accumulating during this bear market. Had a few good buys at the (current) bottom that hopefully will turn out great in a few years. I missed the boat on BTC-related stocks because I’ve waited for even lower prices but finally hit the buy button last month, just after the rise. Too bad … but it’s still relatively cheap. It is what it is. 🤷‍♂️

The problem I have is everyone cherry picks the fundamentals of the protocol that makes BTC perfect money, and than uses that argument to box it in to a store of value which by definition submits to the existing credit system. Treating BTC as a number go up store of value means it will always be measured by something else we transact with. The credit games will always continue which means wealth is always extracted and flows to the top. Earning, spending, saving in Bitcoin not only strips the monetary premiums of every other asset class, it keeps meaningful power in the hands of the people, and governments in check.

You're mathematically better off buying $900 in BTC. ROI is ~2-3 years if pool mining. If I was a plumbing co this would be interesting. You charge 300-400 to install an element that traditionally costs $20-30. Eat a 1 time expense (install and set up) + $400. ROI becomes a year. Remote monitor the element, keep the BTC and offer a free tank cleaning/check yearly or bi yearly + discounted water heater installs in the future. 500 customers would be 250k a year in recurring revenue for ~3 months of work a year.
