Not by shorting BTC….. I mean considering the jump yesterday I assume we can thank all the shorts for the cascade of liquidation that pushed it higher. I would call that the “Find out” phase.
All the money flowing into BTC had been from parties hoping for 100x+ gains. Those days are over and since there is no real added business value from BTC it will slowly dry out from now on.
Yes dump everything into BTC! It is only going up until it goes down then up and down.
Some years ago I got a scam email, not BTC related, and I immediately knew what it was. Out of curiosity I emailed back asking how often this shit works and they actually replied "You'd be surprised" so they're probably making a decent payday from these.

BTC + SPX6900, but do your due diligence before buying anything or listening to anyone.
Why not do this at BTC 60k brother
This is a popular saying. :) If we look at history, it is usually worth buying on Monday evening (UTC), weekend increases usually fall back on Monday. But this is not a golden rule, anything can happen. If you plan to hold it for the long term, then it doesn't matter when you buy. It is psychologically difficult if they fall back after buying, it happened to me many times. But in this case, remember that that BTC is already there and it is yours, and that is what really matters.
The best day to buy BTC is yesterday. The second best is today.
My advice is sell everything you have (House, PC , phone, appliances, your mother's jewelry) to buy more BTC
I've already returned my initial investment back to BTC. House money at this point.
That was my point. Measuring BTC value using magic printer paper money also known as fed notes is the wrong way to begin with. The right way is “how much stuff will I be able to buy with 1 BTC in five years”
He is saying dev community recognizes and is working on it. But he also noted "there is no CEO to make a decision on approach and set a date to get it done". Which is why when retail discusses it generally is just pushed aside with short sighted arguments like: "If it can crack wallets, we'll have bigger problems with other systems" Thankfully there are upgrade solutions and standards, which are already being planned or implemented in critical systems. Regardless of what, when and how people think quantum threat will play out, the general consensus is the risk must be removed no matter how unlikely some believe it may be. And a wait and see approach is unacceptable. So now we have systems worldwide looking at how to migrate. My take is solutions that play in that space have guaranteed demand. Qanplatform has the only blockchain based tech I'm aware of offering innovation for this new market - enabling quantum-safe "designated survivor" keys to be used once Elliptic Curve Cryptography becomes obsolete in practice. I know btc holders get mad anytime someone discusses other potential blockchain utility. Even if it is a different market. Unlike holders of most coins discussing quantum risk, I don't think we need Qday panic, nor do I think it helps utilty coins if Bitcoin fails to navigate the quantum threat. I think it's best if BTC addresses this in an orderly fashion. The more people discuss now, the easier it is to gain consensus on tough decisions and hopefully make for a slow migration process.
Post is by: SmartFlow_ICT and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wkfsgy/ethusd_smt_divergence_with_btc_midterm_correction/ Hey everyone, sharing my ETH analysis using ICT & Smart Money Concepts. Hope it helps someone. 📊 Bias: Bearish (mid-term correction within a bullish trend) Reasoning: Yesterday, crypto markets saw a sharp pump. Now the market is due for a correction. Ethereum has formed an SMT divergence with Bitcoin: ETH made a higher high, but BTC failed to take its major high. This signals weakness and a potential pullback. Price is currently in the Premium zone, above the 0.25 Fibonacci level (2593.78). The 1H Order Block sits around 2445 – 2434, which aligns with the 100% Fibonacci level. This is our ultimate correction target. Key Levels: \- Resistance / Invalidation: 2662.15 \- Current Price: \~2615 \- Support 1 (0.25 Fib): 2593.78 \- Support 2 (50% Fib): 2543.44 \- Support 3 (0.75 Fib): 2493.10 \- 1H Order Block / Target: 2445 – 2434 Trade Plan (Short): \- Entry: 2625 – 2645 (on pullback + M5/M15 MSS) \- Stop Loss: above 2662 (or 2675 conservative) \- TP1: 2593 \- TP2: 2543 \- TP3: 2493 \- TP4: 2445 – 2434 Confluence: ✅ SMT divergence with BTC (ETH higher high, BTC failed) ✅ Price in Premium zone (above 0.25 Fib) ✅ Mid-term correction within a bullish trend ✅ 1H Order Block as final target ✅ Clear bearish MSS on LTF for entry Invalidation: A close above 2662 with a strong body and BTC making a new high would cancel the bearish scenario. Note: This is a mid-term correction within a bullish trend. After the correction completes, I'll be looking for buy opportunities from the discount zone.

I put very little into Bitcoin. Yeah sure its gonna move, but BTC is gonna have some serious diminishing returns as it grows.
Everybody has been a Bitcoin noob at some point. I don’t understand what you would want for them, to stay out of the BTC world? In my opinion, our community puts too much value on seniority.
200k BTC. $1 CRO. $AUD
Canada. I know of 3 people in my social circle that regularily stack sats. I have tried to encourage people to stidy Bitcoin. They think this magic internet money is complicated and risky. There is some really good Canadian Bitcoin content on youtube. BTC Sessions, Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast, Maple Bitcoin. There are some slivers of economic discomfort in Canada but most people are doing fine. We have banks, credit cards, debit cards easily available so the true purpose of Bitcoin has yet to be discovered.
Or the 4 year cycle Or BTC to the moon Hodl I will never sell Etc etc. I believe in Bitcoin but people here make a religion out of it.
I think low volume" is a bad description for this move. The Sep 18 candle did about $76.3k -> $81.1k (+6.1%) with ~83.96k BTC volume in the dataset from investing. Com. Compared to ~42k on Sep 17, ~53k Sep 16 and ~74k Sep 15. So volume of the breakout day was bout 2× the previous day and clearly above average for those recent days.
I use a combo of Coinbase and KCEX. Coinbase to deposit or withdraw the money to my bank account and for Coinbase to track taxes. I buy USDC on CB which is free, transfer it to KCEX which is free, sell it for USDT on KCEX for free. Buy what I want on KCEX for free (spot) and KCEX has free transfer fees as well. I do the reverse when I want to sell which is also all free. So send your BTC to KCEX. Sell it for USDT, buy USDC and send it to Coinbase. Sell the USDC and withdraw it to your bank account. It’s all free besides whatever fees you may be charged to transfer the BTC from your wallet.
Seems like a trick question but if you zoom out far enough you start to get scared that dark money and dark enterprises can do whatever they want to BTC and you start petting your precious little FIAT hoping it does a Yorkie backflip so you can give it a treat
The cockiness of these posts when you know damn well how volatile BTC is, is just asking for it
No, you certainly cannot tell how many people own how many coins based on addresses. ETFs make it even harder because they don't trade 24/7 and the actual on-chain BTC doesn't get moved immediately, so those adresses are always lagging behind. I'm saying the fact that one person could own multiple addresses makes it more likely that less people actually own 1 Bitcoin compared to what the number of addresses show. That's also not taking into account lost keys. The only thing we could say for certain is there can't be more people with 1 Bitcoin than the total number of coins mined minus "lost" coins.
Reddit user SANcapITY makes a bold prediction, says BTC will reach 16.7 million per coin at a point in the future yet to specified by means to be determined
Goat has a stronger ROI than BTC. Goatcoin incoming? Is that the proper sentiment? Lol ;)
You're right, but it doesn't work in practise like that until the price remains largely stable compared to other currencies - which it never will IMO. Think of it like this. I'm a US seller of goods. My customer is in AUS. The transaction is for $100USD. How much is that in BTC? Well it depends on timing right? So I can say, 'send me $100USD in BTC', but the customer then needs to find an exchange rate for that from one of many exchanges, get a BTC value, then buy that BTC in local currency $AUD, then transfer it. There are a lot of variables in the time that that happens. Prices in both currencies fluctuate and I as the seller, have to rely on my customers interpretation of what $100USD of BTC actually is. Sure we would have saved transaction and exchange fees etc but its still not a clean exchange. It works but it's not perfect. I think this is where stable coins have value. Customer can quickly buy and send $100USDC for minimal fees and when I'm ready I can exchange that out for fiat or BTC as needed. They wear the exchange rate on their end ($Aud > USDC) and i wear it on the other end (USDC to BTC/USD).
Let’s just stop posting positive vibes. It seems BTC is doing best when sentiment is bad and shorts load up. Once these type of posts come up, it drops.
🚨 CryptoLookout — BTC/USDC • Coinbase Unusual volume Current price: 81249.83 • Volume: 12066.037974 • Target volume: 5000.00 The useful condition being monitored is now true. Reminder: every 1h while the condition remains true
Yeah but only temporarily. Why does no one realize that if his coins move, ***there still are only 21million BTC and nothing has changed.***
The thing is that for BTC to go down you don't need any trigger. It's enough to not happen anything and BTC will slowly bleed to sub $50k and more. Whenever a positive news is published, like today, BTC will make some waves enthusiastically, before returning to its inevitable long-term continuous decline.
Bear market is over unless black swan . Bottom was July 2026 and reversal was in August . But no bull market until 2028 . Sideways bullish from now on until the halving I suppose . Alts have higher chance to run than BTC right now because no altseason has happened in the last cycle.
Indeed, anything could happen. However, when BTC seems nearly immune to any amount of bad news (Coldcard hack, rate hike, Clarity fail), that's a very bullish sign to me.
Trump will announce he is Satoshi and all BTC belongs to him and no one else
Honestly, respect. Did you buy in at 2015 or 2012? Jk lol. I’m slightly jealous of those who bought in at 2015. That’s when I got my first job. And i definitely considered buying BTC. Life just didn’t work out financially perfect because of regular life stress. There are still ways to make money and grow your BTC stash. I’m a sucker for a good attractive USD balance, but I know BTC is slightly more valuable at any given moment.
Dawg. If you work at a currency exchange and are a BTC enthusiast, you are in prime real estate for a “change” to see how things work. You could strap a go pro to your head and make a huge documentary
It’s not that far off. Remember this, humans value familiarity. We like round numbers. As long as BTC doesn’t give round numbers consistently, none of the “plebs” will buy in. We have so much time. The race is against the institutions, probably. Even then, there will be infighting inside institutions.
Lovely comment… I’d ask a question but we are all against the corrupt inflationary system so it’s all the same. I’ve been a BTC enthusiast since 2012 never purchased a single sat until recently as a joke and I could have used my early knowledge as leverage with the little capital I had. Now I’m working 20x harder or more just to know I’ll never be comfortable. BTC frees those who buy in, not those who procrastinate. I can attest this. I’m not even bitter about it. I’m actually kinda happy with my pattern recognition. I read the whole white papers in 2012 and I was like “nah I’ll have at least 7 more years to get it at $30-100.” Yeah fucking right. Worst mistake of my life but I have barely enough to live for to not really worry about it at all.
BTC always does the opposite of expected to fool the fools.
BTC flipping the bird at the corrupt bank owned idiots in our American government. BTC no one controls
It doesn't make that so, nor does it make it not so. There's not enough information to make a conclusion. According to [Bitcoin Rich List](https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html) there are, right now, 972,130 addresses holding 1 or more BTC. That doesn't mean there are at least 972,130 PEOPLE holding 1 or more BTC, because obviously a person can control more than one of those 1BTC addresses. 972,130 is the maximum number of people *who hold 1 or more BTC in one address*. But there are also more than 1,396,086 Bitcoin in addresses holding *less than* 1 BTC, so it's possible that nearly 1.4 million people hold 1 BTC each, spread across multiple UTXOs. 1,396,086 is the maximum number of people who hold up to 1 BTC *spread across multiple addresses*. All we can say definitively is that the number of persons who hold at least 1 Bitcoin is greater than 1* and less than 2,368,216. \* Yes, greater than 1, not greater than 0. I know I have 1 and I know that I don't have the rest, so the true number is definitely greater than 1.
Normally when rates go up in a major economy it means investors can obtain a higher risk free rate of return and therefore not invest in alternative assets such at BTC for a higher return. However, a lot of major economies are levereged to the hilt these days meaning that rate hikes are actually increasing their servicing cost of their massive debts. So in effect, interest rate increases are basically making investors question the creditworthiness of countries themselves!!. A recent example of this is the UK where the concern lay in issuing new debt of 20 and 30 year maturity with current interest rates. The relevant bodies stopped issuing the longer term debt due to concerns about servicing the debt in future years
I hope the price goes up or down so I can buy more BTC. I feel bad for people who identify as bull or bear because they’ll miss out on opportunities that dollar cost averaging brings.
Yes. Nothing stops this train. BTC doesn't give a rats ass about Clarity Act.
Is that what happened? I’ve heard about similar situations. If you have a chunk of coin, it could be hard to offload it for fiat. Nobody tends to want BTC at the ATH. Gotta create incentives for the population to breed more fomoers I guess
I find it funny that people say they can day trade BTC when transactions take 10 minutes to settle lol. Well, maybe they can. But I know that’s not what you’re talking about. And this whole conversation can be applied 1:1 to mining benefits (incentives to secure the chain blah blah blah) but in reality the chain can still be attacked if not enough people participate. I wonder if there are any anti gamblers out there who are bitcoin enthusiasts who consider mining to be gambling. It’s like throwing a full court shot. But it happens quite often. Maybe even less than every 13 minutes….
You're just personifying BTC with the traits of its investors.
BTC to fiat? havent met anyone who culd do that yet
Today is quadruple witching. Any correlation with BTC price action in the past?
Isn’t this the whole point of BTC?
Would you rather they use a BRIC or neutral BTC?
BTC goes up if inflation Rate hike means there’s inflation. Rate cuts means there will be inflation.
Chat GPT says A few things are driving it. The Fed just raised rates 25 bps, but that hike was largely anticipated, so crypto is getting a **post-Fed relief rally** rather than another selloff. At the same time, traders who were short BTC are getting squeezed: reports show roughly **$180M+ in short liquidations**, which creates forced buying and can accelerate a move like today’s
Ten years ago you could buy about 100 loaves of bread for 1 BTC. Currently you can buy about 16,000 loaves (at $5 per loaf) for 1 BTC. You think in the future the purchasing power of BTC will drop to 840 loaves? That’s pretty bearish.
I agree. It can affect the price in the short run, but in the long run, eveyrone know it doesn't matter and BTC doesn't care.
It's a niche. If 2 out 1000 people know about it in the US (just making a number up), then 0.5 of Latam knows about it for example. SV is obviously an outlier, but even there most people outside the cryto, ai, and overall tech circles, which is small here anyway, don't know or care about BTC.
How could it? Has BTC not being working before clarity act? Nothing changes.
Idek what the clarity act is. But based on its name it implies that Bitcoin would be subject to more scrutiny and it's transactions more heavily policed? BTC is how criminals move shit loads of money. If a law designed to make it more publicly observable failed then you have your reason why this value shot up. Not rocket science.
Because BTC is the monster pump and dump if your getting into it now
It’s not a 1-to-1 relationship, but is an important factor. As the dollar weakens, it takes more dollars to purchase that same 1 BTC.
BTC went up vs all currencies
The fed gonna keep printing $ and then they will buy BTC with it and accumulate most out of all other countries. This will consequently cause correction in the crypto market (shooting all crypto up through the roof). And a new universal currency will be created.
so last year I some BTC for five goats. for sure what back to the replenish my supply of goats but I can only buy three goats. I wonder how that can be?
iska is relative. For every USDC the is one US dollar behind it which is audited. After the last short squeeze when BTC had that big runup ithe leveled out . then there was the upcoming cloture vote and pending FOMC intewar rate action. so I played it safe for a few weeks convert a majority of my crypto holdings to usdc and then they the usdc and earned a family steady 6.9%, which ain't bad really, while BTC was meandering around. So right after the cloture vote and the FOMC meeting I convert from USDC back to Crypto in a certain plan Ed distribution(BTC , ETH and SOL). Plus I keep between 15 and 20% of My overall holdings in USDC and that USDC I still lend and and earn interest on. just a strategy that seems to work to help mitigate downside risk. the bottom line for me ustc is a great place to be somewhat safe probably safe as you can earn a steady good interest rate as opposed to a bank which is less than 2% or money market which is also terrible interest rates and not even insured in some cases. oh one more thing I do with USDC or my rationale behind it. as the portfolio grows I'm maintaining that 15 to 20% in there from gains or new money to help ensure I have money to pay any taxes later the year
BTC will be the global currency of our AI slavemasters. I'd rather bribe my way into working at the soylent green factory than the bone meal plant.
Macro? Forex is for macro. BTC is a game. A pattern works for a few cycles, and then everyone keeps banking on that same recurring pattern. If everyone knows when to buy and when to sell, where is the game? Where is the profit? Who is going to buy at the four-year peak if everyone bought at the bottom?
Clearly BTC never needed any government
> ...with as little fees as possible? Depends on volume & jurisdiction. Nobody can give you a "one size fits all" answer without any details. The is no single "best" option. For very large volumes (multiple BTC), many large exchanges will offer zero fee trades, or an OTC option. For smaller amounts, setting a limit sell order through e.g. Kraken Pro or Coinbase Advanced will minimise fees at the cost of not being instantaneous.
Fidelity and Blackrock don't directly buy BTC. Those are customer funds

We already had clarity on BTC trajectory

BTC already went up to 100k without clarity act.
Buying SOL for the first time after FTX, @ \~ average $28 for the months after, then staking, still have it. Like everyone else, wishing I’d of bought more of course. But my BTC at an average of \~$50K is very nice too 😌
I completely agree, as per my other comment before. It’s changed **literally everything.** And people need to seriously research this. It was a small time thing in 2024 - 2025, there wasn’t that much capital flowing into it. But it’s became absolutely enormous and has changed spot BTC entirely. Cycles matter, but it’s almost silly for anyone to say they’re the exact same when we don’t even have a full cycle since it’s been institutionalised. And if we want to compare previous cycles, we’re gonna need 2-3 full cycles to really compare it to prior ones
There has been a significant amount of things that have changed. IBIT is genuinely no speculative BTC ETF anymore. It’s got $100B+ in assets, and we have live data now that is showing us how much inflows/outflows is happening intraday. And that’s a huge deal. And that doesn’t mean cycles don’t matter, they still do. But what it does mean is we don’t have any data on how cycles can/will run when this has only been happening since 2024. ETHA (ETH ETF) is also attracting a significant amount more inflows lately, and they even have ZEC on there now too. This is a big deal for BTC specifically though because it exposes BTC to millions of more investors who otherwise don’t own a crypto exchange account and maybe don’t want to. They simply just login to their brokerage platform, buy some IBIT and call it a day. If you want to know how significant this genuinely is right now from live readings of the top 5 most actively traded stocks / ETF’s: • IBIT (spot BTC) • BITO (BTC futures) • NVDA • INTC • SPCX
BTC never needed clarity for one, and the rate hike... idk, less faith in the dollar maybe.
Because government reminded us why we like BTC.
The public sentiment is in favor of the crypto especially BTC but as you said, the unsual market behavior, its going to kick back once the sentiment fades away
Here is the answer(not courtesy of me) **Bitcoin is surging back past $80,000 because the market had already priced in the CLARITY Act’s failure, and investors quickly shifted their focus to major, highly bullish structural news.** While the 49-50 Senate vote on September 15 was initially a setback, crypto markets quickly entered a "risk-on" mode driven by immediate alternative regulatory progress and massive institutional buying. Here is the breakdown of why the market shrugged off the negative news: **💡 The SEC's Massive "Tokenization" Pivot** Just days after Congress failed to pass the bill, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) introduced a major five-year exemption allowing companies to offer blockchain-based, tokenized stocks. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins signaled that the agency would move forward with its own regulatory approvals regardless of the gridlock in Congress. This convinced investors that the industry can achieve institutional integration through agency rulemaking rather than waiting on a broken legislative process. **🇺🇸 Advance of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bil**l On September 16, a U.S. House of Representatives committee advanced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill (ARMA) in a 28-21 vote. This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to purchase up to 1 million BTC over five years and mandates a strict 20-year federal lockup period. The prospect of the U.S. government permanently removing a massive chunk of supply from the open market has acted as an immense psychological catalyst for long-term allocators. **📊 Short Squeezes & Derivatives Liquidations** Positioning heading into the CLARITY Act vote was incredibly one-sided, resulting in nearly $480 million in long liquidations when the bill initially failed. However, once Bitcoin bottomed out near $75,000 and absorbed the shock, it broke back past the heavy resistance level at $78,000. This instantly triggered a massive short squeeze—forcing bearish traders to buy back their positions—which rapidly propelled the price above $80,000. **📈 Corporate "Whales" Are Not Stopping** Major corporate entities are treating the dip as a massive buying opportunity. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to aggressive accumulation. The company holds over 845,000 BTC (roughly 4% of the total 21 million capped supply) and announced plans to raise up to $80 billion through debt and equity to buy even more Bitcoin. **💎 Shrugging Off the Fed's Rate Hike** The market also brushed off the Federal Reserve raising its benchmark interest rate to 3.75% for the first time in three years. Because the hike was accompanied by easing oil supply inflation concerns, macro investors treated the decision as a stabilizing force for the broader financial system rather than a headwind for digital assets.
I understand the quantum risk in general, but not fully on the risks to banks or BTC.
Holy shit padner...why are you hodling that much BTC online? If you ever get it back...make sure to buy a Trezor or something and get it off the net.
Is a 5% price jump considered bullish now? Man, BTC volatility isn’t what it used to be.
Once Trump commences second War on Iran, BTC tumbles again
Because BTC is the Apex predator of assets
When other investment vehicles and lanes don't look like they can generate wealth, the money pours back into BTC
Honey badger don't care, and neither does BTC.
DXY jumped 2% with the rate hike. 1 BTC = 1 BTC
Well the thing about BTC because it doesn’t matter what passes and what doesn’t nothing will change how it fundamentally works.
A smart dude (Physicist) in the BTC Youtube space that has a very rational TA approach, but he's fixated on putting previous cycles onto this one as if the peak was anything like the previous... Lots of people quote him and point to his 'research' as reason to have avoided DCAing into Bitcoin in the low $60k's all summer. Markets don't let you "time" them based on previous models the masses follow. If they did, everyone would be a billionaire.
The true BTC holders don't care about the clarity act and know BTC is the future regardless of the clarity act passing. It would have been great but it's not a deal breaker IMO. We gonna moon!!!! 🚀 🚀
BTC network doesn’t read the news
This is exactly why this country is fucked. How many ways do they need to show you that this is rigged? Go look at the post last year around this time when people were claiming BTC was going to $200k and beyond. Wake TF up!
The quickest way to expose yourself as a crypto pleb is to ask "why the BTC pump today". the BTC pump was pre-ordained and needs no reason on any given day
I can literally bet without fail there’s a post every time BTC moves upwards, zoom out a bit and you’ll see we’ve been consolidating in a range for month’s. This and the other 5 “pump” aren’t pumps in the slightest.
No handy resources to share, but I could probably answer your question. Were you wondering on the quantum risk in general, or this "would a bank or BTC be more fucked by a quantum computer?"
I called the CEO of BTC and asked for them to raise the price, thats why.
