Black Friday sales are on for BTC!

I read on Reddit that Claude AI helps recover BTC. Maybe it will help to give a hint. May try, but don't trust any person who DM's and asks for the phrase. Good luck.

How do you know he has a wallet with 1 BTC in it? If you have the wallet, you don’t need the seed. The wallet stores the private keys to move the bitcoin, so you can simply move the Bitcoin wherever you want with the wallet you found.

Useful_Calendar_6274

that money is gone forever. that's how this works. too bad he put so much in BTC with no testament or anything, nothing to be done

Abject-Stretch-1187

Fully capitalized? What are you smoking? There are multiple companies with a bigger marketcap than BTC and two commodities many multiples of BTC yet BTC is fully capitalized? Smh 

satoshi1022

I mean, you can pay with BTC in many places for a wide range of things my dude. It's literally all over the place, above board, and instant. Just because your head is so far up your ass with bad gambling trades, don't act like it doesn't exist. Idk why I'm picking on you but the whole 'scene', these subs, etc are full of 2020+ stock market loser bros and it's a shame.

quintavious_danilo

Now you wait (and buy more on red days). I would suggest switching to BTC though, it’s safer.

HamEggandDips

I joined Stratiphy specifically to buy a BTC ETN within the IFISA. Just so you know, if you ever wanted to transfer funds from an IFISA to another broker, not all companies will accept it. Its something I only just discovered and wish I knew earlier

ov3rw4tch_

Nothing we can do. Anyone who says otherwise is a scammer. Just continue navigating life as if that BTC will never be accessible cause it’s not.

Logical_driver_42

BTC was way cheaper back then and people bought and sold drugs with it all the time in 2015-2020 range he could’ve had way more BTC at way cheaper

Mocha2055

Do not share the password with anyone, I. Sure this has been said million time i havent read the responses. Id some how you can find a way to get by you shoukd not cash that in. 3 years halving thats gonna be worth about 200k. Do yourself a favor go back amd look at BTC chart and educate yourself upon crypto in general but more importantly look at the 4 year cycle. And whatever you do dont venture I to alt coins

PeaceAgitated1978

Actually smart money would not think that comment is a smart one 🤔🤣🤷 the reals Rich's.. they don't pay taxes on cap Gains. Why should they? 🤣 On gold for centuries.. now on BTC. The asset, when it is really one and a hard one. A value refuge against debasement of currencies. And inflation at all.. That asset, he never need to be sold. There's a class of assets that the Rich's are using to never sell. And therefore declare capital gains taxes.. choose that one. Generational wealth is built on it and nothing else in the long run stay in their portfolio. But yeah.. let's assume you ain't rich yet and still need some cash to spend at the very moment RN. It exists many ways to hop around to not sell yours assets and still get that cash RN. And spoilers, both of the 2 most common involve intelligent debt as a tool. Since debt money is never taxed. And will never be. Write me in DM if you really want to talk about it and learn. But anyways, no need to DM I'm sure most of you all can figure it out by yourself.

thelonghand

How are we valuing BTC? Everyone in here is using fiat USD as their metric. 1 BTC = 1 BTC I don’t get why people worry about what it’s priced at in fiat when widespread adoption is inevitable.

quintavious_danilo

Wtf? BTC is an electronic cash system. It has taught me absolutely nothing.

el_rico_pavo_real

lol Nothing easy about having your net worth in BTC long term. Take it from me. BUT IM STILL STACKING BABY! RIDE THE LIGHTNING

gordonfr_

Could have been rich several times now but prefers holding BTC instead. Peak usage of AI by the way.

jstsomedev

While in the same breath talking about the reliability of BTC cycles lol

injectionsiteredness

I started buying the PayPal app, but once I realized fees were lower on most exchanges like River I switched over quickly. For me it was just a gateway for me to get comfortable buying. I keep my BTC in cold storage.

Distinct-Piglet1210

Not for certain but I doubt someone with an addiction, I imagine drugs, would be able to not have sold the BTC to cover his addiction.

ShittingOutPosts

Don’t let a theoretical concept scare you. Plus, if quantum computing is achieved one day at the level needed to break BTC, you’ll have much greater problems to worry about.

_LakeCity_

Check the lifetime price chart of any Altcoin that's at least five years old on its BTC ratio. That'll give you your answer - it's Bitcoin and Bitcoin only.

BestialitySurprise

You can have even more BTC if you sell the obvious highs.

notasmilo

Me and my Claude subscription Btw previously , after such videos (events), BTC would pump like crazy

BrokenHefaistos

Hmnn, did you think about the fact that overthrowing the ruling class is not going to happen with BTC, they just hop in and play the games they are good at, or make it illegal to own a cold wallet. 😉

WhatsTheStoryMG_1995

I’m about 50-50 MSTR for tax and BTC for bitcoin, tbh if I could go back I’d have just gone 100% strategy for ISA,

ekfah

Agree, this sub is out of hand. If i were new to BTC and came to this sub, i wouldn't take this seriously.

mallenby1

Watch a couple hundred videos on BTC and air gapped cold wallets. Buy $100.00 worth and start moving it around until you understand it. ColdcardQ is a very good wallet . Use a password… ie a 25th word that you CAN REMEMBER and never write that word down anywhere. Buy it all now and sit on it for a decade or longer if you have the time.

CompetitionDouble420

You MUST DYOR first to understand Bitcoin - what it TRULY is, how it TRULY works - before deciding if it's the right investment for you. It's still in its toddler years in terms of maturity; it can be extremely volatile and super risky. Do not enter unless this is at least a decade-long play for you. That said, if you do all this and decide you are still interested in deploying capital in BTC, THEN begin to research self-custody (using a cold wallet to authorize transactions). Get yourself a cold wallet, like Ledger or Trezor products (from their official web sites, DO NOT USE GOOGLE SPONSORED ADS); I can't speak for Trezor, but Ledger wallets have a companion desktop app you can use to purchase cryptocurrencies directly.

sobasicallyimanowl

Check to see if Fidelity lets you withdraw the BTC to a separate wallet if you ever wanna do that. If you don't mind it being tied to Fidelity and non-withdrawable then you can go ahead with them. There are other options like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance US, Uphold, etc. but keep in mind some of them will want you to link your bank with a third party application before you can make a purchase or sell. Most other options will ask you to provide ID so if you don't want to do that and have already established with Fidelity then that would be another plus for Fidelity. Btw idk if they sell pure coins or if only ETF tied to BTC.

Money_Ask2726

For sure, didn't mean to imply im not, just talking about the BTC portion

Forded_Fiction24

Most here on this sub are very resistant to the idea despite the huge tax savings. If BTC were to go to $5 million a coin let's say then the cost of paranoia at that point would total greater than $1 million. I find the risk associated with institutionally held ETF's worth that kind of money to at least contribute partially to one. While the paranoia in me, persuades me to simultaneously hold a healthy portion in in Cold storage.  I think the easiest play here is do both and then your risk is mitigated and your potential reward is greater

sha256btc21ml

Saylor is selling to buy more BTC, which is clearly evident from recent sell vs buy numbers smart guy determined to play long game …

caccamo88

for me 1. And after selling, where should I invest? Which other asset is better? 2. timing the market is impossible, BTC could continue to raise forever as soon you have sold 3. tax, at every sale event

Wizzard_2025

Just to say, the BTC doesn't automatically move to you. It's not yours, even if you do recover it.

No_Bunch_6707

I went to the 2026 BTC conference and met a woman (I lost her business card) who works for a company that specializes in digital asset recovery. Worth giving them a call, of course recovery comes with a fee so you should ask what they could do for your particular situation and for what cost. Here is their website - www.unciphered.com; I’d give these guys call if I was in your shoes.

GoElastic

what are the chances this guy would have posted anything if BTC is at 200k$ now?

Huge-Discussion-9507

Bought 3 BTC at $3,800 in 2019 and don’t feel a need to sell anytime soon

ElderMight

Ouch. How much are you down in ETH/BTC?

cool-lala

I am not even if bubble burst with Claude ipo or OpenAI ipo money has to go somewhere I think that is bull case for BTC to 600k

autoencoder1

Yup ! That’s the way … I bought at $250 but sold too early in 3ks then it ran to 10k .. then dropped to 3.5 then I bought again and sold at 10k !!! And never saw those levels again .. this train will leave 60s station permanently at some point and will only accelerate beyond last ATH and clock another ATH … remember the supply is constrained and less than 5% of the world own BTC ! … if it goes to 10% the price will go exponentially up not linear 2x but multi X

Foreigntragedy

Making so much money shorting this fucking trash. BTC going back under 60k by tomorrow

Massive_Pain_6677

BTC and other cryptocurrencies are just gambling. "Where will my slot machine be at in 2040" would be another apt question.

Ok-Win1261

For what it's worth I'm really sorry to hear that your BTC was stolen from you.

bambil00

Importing the same seed phrase into BlueWallet does not make the wallet more secure. Both apps would control the exact same private keys, so any previous exposure or compromise would still carry over. the cleaner approach is to create a completely new wallet in BlueWallet, write the new seed phrase down offline, verify the receiving address, and send the BTC from Trust Wallet to it. Do a small test transaction first, then transfer the remainder after confirming it arrived. Also, never enter your seed phrase into a website or share it through DMs. Anyone asking for it is trying to steal your funds. For a significant amount of Bitcoin, consider moving to a reputable hardware walled rather than keeping it in a phone wallet long term.

1. Illegal 2. Throwing one thread into BTC mining is a lottery

crunchyeyeball

I've maxed out my ISA allowance for this tax year, so I'll re-assess in April. Hopefully there will be more IFISA providers by then, since I'm not familiar with Stratiphy. I'm just annoyed that we now have to use an IFISA instead of a regular S&S ISA. I've got some BTC "proxies" in my S&S ISA and obviously BTC itself in self-custody, but ideally I'd love to hold something like [WXBT](https://www.ii.co.uk/etfs/wisdomtree-physical-bitcoin-gbp/LSE:WXBT) in a S&S ISA.

GuitarAlternative336

I have also found $300 - $500 per month to be a sweet spot, really just investing the months leftovers which vary month to month. Small enough that you don't miss it, it works out to be a very small % of my overall investment portfolio so I don't mind the risk / volatility. I only have 0.1BTC after a year or so, if it all went to zero then I'd consider it part of the risk .. if it goes 10x then I won't complain

emma-Jh

You've already done what most people couldn't: you had conviction when it was deeply uncomfortable, and more importantly, you managed the debt responsibly instead of letting it manage you I actually think the past five years have been widely misunderstood. BTC wasn't simply moving from one bull market to the next—it was evolving from a speculative retail trade into a global macro asset. Transformations like that are usually slow, frustrating, and far less exciting than most people expect I also think institutional adoption did happen—it just didn't happen in the dramatic way many people imagined. Instead of sending prices straight up overnight, it gradually made BTC an asset that governments, pension funds, asset managers, and corporate treasuries can legitimately allocate to. To me, that's a far more important milestone than any single price target Diversifying into equities now also makes perfect sense. Different asset classes have different jobs, and expecting one asset to do everything is rarely the best strategy That said, if I had to guess what you'll appreciate most three years from now, I still think those 5 BTC have a very good chance of being the most valuable part of your portfolio—not because they're guaranteed to outperform, but because the market usually takes much longer to fully recognize truly scarce assets than most investors expect

Low_Badger_9430

BTC getting promoted to everyone = going to 10k ish. (screenshot this)

so7ow

I don't use Trust Wallet so I can't really speculate. Some sort of malfunction/failure? If all your BTC ended up in Blue, maybe all's well that ends well?

Important_Neck_2122

I’ve been purchasing $500 of BTC weekly since 2022. I have a weekly withdrawal from Coinbase setup and move it monthly to my cold wallet. It’s adding up!!

Stock market is performing so much better than BTC over an extended period. Even if folks think BTC might appreciate, if the S&P 500 will do it faster then everybody's off the BTC bandwagon.

> If not, what would stop you? Running a private lottery is illegal AF. Almost anywhere in the world. I did it anyways in 2014 for a while. Call it a raffle, all the tokens were shite L1 BTC clones anyways. It was fun for a minute but participation is highly subject to the risk on/off cycles of the tokens you're using. Last year I was in a protocol that called itself a lottery, stake for prizes every week, etc... and I came out ahead after about 4 months but it involved being early adopter with a massive stake in a weighted 'draw' system. Anyways this is trivial to create. You can only be so 'fair' in the EVM and people accept that. The reason it doesn't exist everywhere is because if you don't build something to hide the fact that it's run as a lottery you're going to jail when you make any real money. Based on local laws, your mileage may vary.

Important_Neck_2122

In a few years when BTC is $250k, you look back and say it was worth the wait!

ProfsrGabriel

I'd probably go with actual BTC. Even if you don't care much about self-custody today, it gives you more options later. Native staking is a good example of something an ETF can't offer.

breovus

But mercury is in ascendancy then or some shit and my organic tea leaves say you're full of baloney. My technical analysis if I draw the lines the way I want them to say it's actually going down to $10/BTC sucker! /s I think both our statements are of equal likelihood. Let's wait and see what happens.

Majestic_Ebb9783

I think Bitcoin will still be the strongest store of value, but I also expect it to become much more productive. Long-term holders will probably have more ways to use their BTC without giving up control of it. I'm curious to see how approaches like TBVs evolve over the next decade.

Gears6

Clearly I got some BTC (and other crypto), so I'm a believer or at the very least, believe it ain't going nowhere but up in the future. However, I'm not one to put my head in the sand and not consider risks.

Kwbneddit

I’ve bought BTC there bc of the low fees (.65% in and out. That’s lower than river & strike). I’m not sold on multi sig personally. At this stage of life (no kids but have a fiancee) I’m not pressed to do that model of custody. You can withdraw to cold storage but they’ll ask to verify you identity beforehand since they’re are 2-3 keys 

pizzapartycrasher

Lots of hopium, some folks got BTC right tho, impressive

bananabastard

If BTC hadn't been invented, the crypto industry wouldn't exist.

Good-Book-6912

In 5 years BTC has reached $1000 again, and people are pissed and spending their time bitching and moaning over their losses. Some say they will go down with the ship. Other people have moved on to Sui which is the new top dog in crypto, due to scaling and a great programming language for smart contracts.

hereforthefundoc

2017 holder here. We are not out of the woods, I believe the worse is to come. Institutions will add more into your anxiety and to the market correction. My suggestion to every BTC investor who feels anxious. When you are in profit, sell and pay for your initial investment. Keep the rest. Sleep well.

Designer-Beginning16

2040 BTC = $1 Million.

“A SpaceX-tagged address (15atF…) sent approximately $88 worth of BTC to another SpaceX-controlled address (bc1q9…). The first address has the “Coinbase Prime Custody” tag attached to it." You got a better source than the article itself?

gordonfr_

If you care about this 500 or 100 like you do, don’t invest all into BTC. 

Mohowl_

Give OP a break, obviously 1 BTC will be worth 1 BTC

CODE_HEIST

fair distinction. hyperliquid has usage and a cash flow model, while BTC is closer to a monetary asset with no operating cash flow. i still would not compare them on one valuation lens though. platform revenue can fall with activity, while BTC's thesis depends more on scarcity, liquidity and demand for the asset itself.

ubermensch1001

Think about it this way, this offer is posted on here with those that are active in the BTC/crypto space. They go through your content, if it's publicly available, and maybe can gather what you hold, how much, etc. If you take this offer there's a possibility that you need to reveal personal information about yourself, or maybe it's a phishing attempt to get seeds, etc. It's basically no different than the private DM's you get if you post a thread about needing help/input with something crypto related.

Robosnails

Your story is sadly the most common for a new Bitcoiner. They are drawn in by the hype of a new all time high and the communities promises that you will 100x your money. You then spend money you cant afford to lose on bitcoin while its at the 4 year cycle peak histeria. Then it all comes crashing down and you wonder how others could possibly endure the emotional roller coaster. The secret is, we dont! Smart money has a plan and strictly follows the 4 year cycle and DCA buy / sell at the same high and low windows that have been repeating consistently since bitcoins creation. Retail money also buys and sells during the 4 year cycle but they buy and sell based entirely on emotion. If price goes up they get excited and buy, if price goes down they panic and sell. Bitcoin returns are nothing close to what the OG HODLERs experienced, so what they preach is(at least at the moment) pretty shitty advice compared to other investment strategies. While BTC gains have significant dimishing returns every new cylce, the gains from peak to trough are still massive. Despite what the financially illiterate claim, you absolutely can time the market, but it does require that you ignore the noise and remain disciplined. Follow the metrics and NOT the influncers claiming its going to zero or 1,000,000 this time for realz trust me bro!

ubermensch1001

I think it's a great idea, but there are a couple things you should consider. If you are using the standard buying option from a typical exchange the fees can in fact add up. However, if you learn how to properly use the advanced feature they have, like Coinbase Advanced, the fees are incredibly cheap, at least relative to the standard buys. To put this into perspective, my last purchase I bought $350 of BTC on Coinbase Advanced and the fee I paid was $2.09. If I were to make a purchase with the same amount right now using the standard buying option I would be paying $6.44. This is a huge relative difference and if you are buying on some sort of regular basis this would add up very quickly. Something else you should consider with standard vs. the advanced feature is the spread. When utilizing the standard buying option, there is a 1% spread on your purchase, meaning it rounds up 1% from the price you are buying at. In contrast to this, when you use the advanced feature you are buying at an exact price, say $64,000 vs. $64640. Again, like the fees this quickly adds up. I would also consider maybe only withdrawing from an exchange once per month or something like that. The fees to withdraw/send aren't that ridiculous for BTC, For instance, I withdrew .011 BTC from my exchange at the beginning of this month of July and the fee was $.35. In early June I had withdrawn .019 and the fee was $.28. This is incredibly cheap for decently large withdrawals, but it does make sense to maybe do it once per month or so. As for you actual plan to accumulate. I think $100/week is better than just one large lump sum per month. The price can swing erratically in that given time period, but by buying once per week it will average out your purchases. I also think it enforces good habits, as you are essentially treating it like a savings account that you just steadily add to instead of obsessing over timing the market, etc.

bizi0909

There's 3 that come to my mind: 1. CoinGecko Pros: closest thing to CoinMarketCap Cons: closest thing to CoinMarketCap 2. CoinTrends Pros:  \- has rank chart for every coin \- can pick custom range on BTC chart to get best/worst performing alts during that period. Very useful for screening Cons: hasn't listed as many coins as CoinMarketCap. 3. CoinPaprika: Pros: logo looks like paprika Cons: data for circulating supply can be inacurrate for some tokens

qwertyuiop121314321

You could have put money in the ATM then you would have had 1 BTC, it's not that hard. But you didn't. 🙄

CODE_HEIST

i think of BTC opportunity cost in regret terms. if an alt runs 4x and BTC grinds, can i live with that. if the alt nukes 70 percent and BTC holds up, can i live with that too. sizing should answer both before the chart answers one of them for you.

book4225

One of the comments: BTC will be around $600k, ETH will be around $40k. Let’s see haha

No_Theory9958

Bro, you got scammed. Be glad it was only $400. People have learned much more expensive lessons than this in crypto. You’re wasting your time and energy arguing with this company/exchange. 0% chance they return your BTC and you will definitely spend more on legal fees if you go that route

LionRivr

1. Have stable income 2. Pay your monthly bills 3. Service your debts 4. Contribute to retirement account for tax advantages and stock exposure 5. Account $ for daily expenses (food, gas, etc.) 6. Build 3-6 months of cash savings in case of unemployment. 7. Consider $ for hobbies/entertainment 8. DCA whatever’s left, or whatever you’re comfortable with into BTC. 9. Get adequate sleep, whole nutritious foods, proper hydration, sufficient sunlight, strength training and mobility/injury prevention exercises. 10. Support your family, friends, and community.

>He says nothing about monthly.., 👇🏻 >When I get money I invest all of it into BTC immediately... You don’t have to be a genius to figure it out lol

tommazikas

There is, but if there was no BTC there would be no alt coins, it started with BTC, maybe someone else would have created something different then would be somethong different. Debate worth nothing to debate about.

barchilla

99% of shitcoins are just a cheap copy of #Bitcoin 4 me there is only 21millions of BTC and a world full of fiat inflation

machin_bidule

Imho, main benefit is protection against inflation, because banks and government can't create Bitcoin from thin air, like they do with $. Bitcoin is rare bc the supply is mathematically capped. USD is based on politics, Bitcoin is based on maths. Hardware wallet cost is $75 or less nowadays. They are useful only for big amounts. Op lost 0.1BTC, he should have bought a hardware wallet...

Some-Platform1968

Yes, because that company’s stock price was based on expected future profits and the business burned down…no more future profits. BTC is valued on magic so I think it requires more time for investors to gradually exit the market. But I can’t think of an event that would make every holder sell at once to drop the price to zero. I wonder what could happen that would make every investor go to sell the same day, or over a really short period

Capital-Ad8143

Stop spreading lies, you evidently do not believe in the technology and advancements that BTC brings to the financial world.

paperlevel

You don't buy on the wallet, the wallet is how your keys are stored. I would actually recommend starting with an ETF especially if you already have a brokerage account. If you want BTC directly an app like Strike is pretty good, keeps it simple.

paperlevel

DCA is too passive for me. When I get money I invest all of it into BTC immediately. I keep all other accounts as close to zero as possible. If you do it like this you'll make progress much faster.

Juus

300 billion dollars disappeared from SpaceX in the last 5 days, so i don't think it is farfetched to see a trillion disappear from BTC in 14 years.

racecrack

Except that... it is deflationary compared to the dollar. So even if the dollar value of things would remain stable over the next 16 years (*allow me to cough there*) - the USD value of a stable BTC amount would still rise.

Old-Committee944

Tbh I dont even care about the exact price anymore. If BTC is still around in 2040 after 4 more halvings, thats already game over for the bears. Feels like people will be arguing over whether it’s worth $2M or $5M instead of asking if it’s dead lol.

How would quantum computing devalue BTC? I’m curious.

Schwoanz

Two users predicted BTC to be at 68k (that‘s damn accurate!) and 60-80k.

Arijan101

Nobody controls it? It's more centralized then regular money, check how much supply is in the hands of a few players. Nobody can print more? It's literally open source code with trillions of identical copies. No government can shut it down? They can just shut down the internet, rendering it completely useless. No one can hack it...yet. The 1st Quantum computer will crack it open like a can of cold beer after a long shift. Also if anyone's ever gets to control 51% of the entire network, that person can then literally change anything and everything about it. No bank can deny you acces to it? What a stupid take. Exchanges can freeze your assets at any given time, just like banks can. Also if you hold it in cold storage you still risk,damaging it, losing it or getting robbed,so this whole access mumbo jumbo is just another dumb talking point. Your BTC can just as easily be tracked and confiscated by the government like regular money. Decentralized? Look how much of the supply is held by a select few wallets. The top 100 wallets hold 15% of the circulating supply. How is that decentralized?

Arijan101

And 100% of the BTC total supply is literally digits that some random dude typed on his keyboard while coding it, so what's the difference? Instead of 21M he could've just typed any other number at random and it wouldn't make any difference. This entire "scarcity" argument is pure B.S.

Available-Distance81

Use lightning wallet. Cashapp has a lightning wallet. also, I wouldn't hold 1 whole BTC on an exchange, put it on a private wallet, keep what you'd keep in a checking account in a lightning wallet.
