BTC

Inevitable_Pin7755

Honestly this sounds less like a Bitcoin question and more like a psychology one. Ask yourself this: if you didn’t already own 1 BTC, would you buy it today at 90k? If the answer is yes, selling now just to “cut losses” doesn’t really make sense. If the answer is no and you genuinely don’t believe in the long term thesis anymore, then holding it just because you’re down isn’t logical either. Buying at ATH hurts, but price action going sideways for months isn’t new for BTC. It’s done this multiple times in past cycles and every time people convinced themselves “this time is different”. Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn’t, but sideways doesn’t mean dead. Also be careful comparing BTC to the S&P short term. They serve different purposes. If you’re losing sleep over volatility, moving part of it into something you’re more comfortable holding might be the right move mentally, even if it’s not the mathematically perfect play. The worst decision is usually an emotional all in or all out move. If you’re unsure, a partial de risk might give you peace of mind without locking in the full loss. No one can call the bottom or the top. What matters is whether your original reason for buying still holds. If it doesn’t, that’s your answer. Hold it for next 10 years who cares about the price now

I would buy a small company, the remaining part would be in BTC

Pay mortgage off. Buy a few BTC, get wife a car. Then not waste the rest.

veryparcel

He holds SMST and uses that to buy more BTC.

CryptoPulsee

The real question isn't what to buy, but how to custody it. If you suddenly had $1M in BTC, would you trust your current multi-sig setup, or would that change your entire security model ? 🤔🤔

fairlyaveragetrader

That was a 3% move. If you guys are actually trading this, The 94,000 zone has to be taken out, it probably will be before we resume the next downtrend, you have profit targets around 98 to 102 with a stop and reverse long above a 106-108k weekly close Currently, like for the past month or so the trade has been shorting $80,000 puts and just letting them burn up. Reasonably safe trade since you immediately know where you're wrong, becomes a dangerous trade if we do close up around 100K in the next 8 weeks. That area is going to have a lot of Sellers and most likely set up for the next leg down if we are going to continue the cycle. 69k is the next Target, maybe March or april? You know what's so crazy about all this though, if it does play out like that, it's so incredibly bullish for 2029. Everyone is going to get on board buying their 30 to $40,000 BTC pretty much knowing 200k is going to happen by 2029. So you have this 5 to 6X potential

Froz3n_Cornchip

I’d buy 1 BTC, that’s the goal for most right, I would buy the status of being a whole coiner and obviously just fuckn HODL it. The rest I’d use towards a new house, because that’s the priority right.

CryptoPulsee

The classic 'Buy the dip' that keeps on dipping. Still, 1 BTC = 1 BTC 😂👏🏻

Gold-Succotash-9217

So, whatever it is, it gets big enough to replace BTC as another useless pseudo currency owned by people that just sit on it and can't spend it on stores for groceries? I also can buy oil or gold and let it sit around but at least that has useful value. It's tangible. All this fake Pokémon trading card tokens are silly. My chuckecheese tokens from the 80s aren't something I can spend anymore either.

Gold-Succotash-9217

Dollar replaced gold. When the dollar collapses BTC will likely also collapse but it could rebound while the dollar can't. But also you'd need access to the internet and systems and wallets etc. All things more likely to collapse and be useless as BTC self destructs. Mining becomes cost prohibitive so the miners are just people that need to spend to keep their asset alive which will deplete the asset value over time as less people find usefulness in it and it depletes to 0 so people don't spend good money after bad.

stevie1484

Yep!  I felt it was dangerous to go over 30% of portfolio for anything but I let it run in ‘21 beyond 50%which meant I got hit hard in ‘22 and didn’t have almost anything to buy the dip.  This summer I brought it down and have a lot more stable stuff, indexes and Berkshire and preferred shares from Strategy, and also have enough BTC. I think the non-btc will underperform on average but still go up, gives me a bit more stability.  Hopefully no more 70% drops in a year 😆🤞 

moviemaker2

Keeping your BTC in your ow. Wallet is the very definition of self custody.

ourcryptotalk

It feels like an eternity when $BTC was at $125,000..... Oh, the good ol' days.

JayPolar91

5% in BTC and physical gold 20% into rental properties and 50% into dividend paying ETF's and the other 20% would go to buying a house and whatever else I need.

grayjacanda

Neither the 4 year halving cycle nor the Fed's monetary policy provide some perfect prediction of BTC price moves, though both are correlated Today we have the former saying 'we have much bear market yet to go' while the latter predicts at least a modest rally from here So, as usual, no one knows for sure Please place your bets, or just HODL, or DCA, according to your preferred mode of interaction

HSuke

Only 1 BTC will be mined in the last 100 years after 2040. If you're alive by 2040, Bitcoin will already be feeling the **exponential** effects of the halvings.

HSuke

What most people don't realize is that the block subsidy will by halved so much by 2040 that the last 25 halvings (the 100 years between 2040 and 2140) won't even matter. **Only 1 BTC will be mined in the last 100 years.** If you overlay this cycle's block subsidy chart over the previous cycle's, this is the first halving cycle where the block subsidy wasn't multiples higher than the previous cycle's (even before adjusting for inflation). I believe we're already past peak security budget, and it'll just keep declining faster and faster every cycle until the block reward is mostly transaction fees.

randallmauel

Im buying small amounts of AVAX and Sol. Ive got all the ETH Im planning on buying. Maybe a little more BTC

Still hodl almost all of it. Nothing outward that shows BTC love because I'm not an idiot.

Berns429

I disagree, if you posted Jack Dorsey buying BTC back in like 2011-2015 sure it’s “long term conviction” but he’s a billionaire, he could give a shit what it does in 2022 because it’s just another asset in his portfolio, he’s not just some average dude who scored big by buying in the early days.

stevie1484

Same, was into fire and BTC makes it better.  Now I keep it to x% of portfolio, which unfortunately means I’m selling sometimes, but then I get to buy dips too

EarningsPal

All it will take is BTC to rally to $250,000 and all the negative talk about Microstrategy will turn into genius talk.

GreenStretch

Wow, hadn't even noticed that recent growth. If hypothetically, I'd had any, it might have been turned into BTC a while ago.

GreenStretch

Ugh, practically out of *crypto*, sold everything but 25% of my ETH. Still have the BTC, though.

riscten

>Each note contains a 999 silver physical btc embedded in the banknote. What does that even mean? Is there... silver in the note? Where's the BTC? What is this?!!?

Visual_Building_1666

I had about 50 grand in my Roth IRAs to buy about 14 coins worth at 3500. But I needed a way to safely store them, that would be easy, and keep them growing in my Roth. I had real conviction that it would soon recover and get even past 20,000. I asked a friendly acquaintance who was a computer programmer to look into it for me, and said I would even pay him for his time to find me a solution. After 2 weeks, he basically gave up saying he doesn't know how to do it or if it can even be done. So, I gave up too. It wasn't until it climbed all the way back to 20 grand, that I looked into it again...and found GBTC/Greyscale. Literally putting ONE LETTER, the letter G before BTC/bitcoin was all I needed to do! Getting in at 3 and getting in at 20 is A LOT different! I'm not complaining...my friends and family STILL aren't in...but 20 to 120 is 6x my money, while 3 to 120 is 40x!!

Tall-Assignment-6227

Altcoins didn’t historically rally because of “new retail buyers.” They rallied because of capital rotation. BTC runs first, then ETH, then profits flow outward as risk appetite increases. Retail arrives late — always has. Saying there’s “no fresh capital” ignores reality. Capital is entering crypto — it’s just concentrated at the top right now. Liquidity doesn’t disappear; it parks, waits, then rotates. That’s how every cycle works. The ownership argument is also a mismatch. Alt seasons were never driven by enforceable rights or equity-like cash flows. They were driven by reflexivity, narrative momentum, and volatility seeking. If ownership were required, memecoins would never have outperformed — yet they do, every cycle. ETH being a “utility token” isn’t a weakness. Base layers aren’t equities. Oil doesn’t give voting rights either — yet it underpins entire economies. L2s don’t weaken ETH; they feed it by scaling demand. This reads less like a structural critique and more like someone who’s tired of waiting and decided the game must be broken because it hasn’t paid out yet. Cycles don’t end because people stop believing. They end because liquidity exhausts — and we’re nowhere near that.

gjp23

Lame. My key investments are VOO and BTC. I'll continue to stack for 30 years on both

itsaworry

Not too many people are going to forget they set up a BTC miner when it was 10 cents and forget about it as price goes through $10 then $100 to a $1000 . . . .something a bit odd about this post .

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, predicts Bitcoin (BTC) will reach new all-time highs in 2026 despite current market weakness. He attributes this to diminishing influence of Bitcoin's four-year cycles, falling interest rates, reduced leverage, and accelerating institutional adoption. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and pro-crypto regulatory shifts are expected to attract institutional capital. Additionally, Bitcoin's volatility is declining, and its correlation with traditional stocks is expected to weaken, making it a more stable and attractive investment. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

who_am_i_to_say_so

EXACTLY. I swear that's what BTC was intended to be, anonymous, before all this "Know your customer" or "KYC" bullshit.

62DoubleCab

Well despite that fact it still did better than BTC this year. BTW I own BTC but this year sucked. I will continue to own it though.

Academic_Attorney996

Their weak currency is worthless compare to BTC. Seem like you don't do enough research on Bitcoin. Get back the step 1, son: Study Bitcoin.

AudiieVerbum

I got out after the '18 crash, went from $20k to $9k almost overnight. I will never doubt again. Also, back in college in '13, I bought .25BTC for like $200, and immediately spent it on the good lsd from the netherlands. Would be tens of thousands by now lol.

NOneHOne

Real Estate is nothing more than a means of diversification of your portfolio. Most people with something to lose are smart enough not to put all of their eggs in one basket. We've been buying BTC pretty regular for the past ten years and will continue to so - especially the next 6-12 months. But there's no way in hell I'm going to put my life savings 100% in any single investment, especially since I'm almost 50 and plan to be fully retired by 2030.

silentapexresearch

BTC holding ~$88K even as ETF flows whipsaw this week — feels like rotation more than new capital. Anyone else watching flows more than price today?

LegitimateDream4942

Lol you are dreaming. Try to do the transaction. You'll realize that nobody in Thailand accepts BTC. They want to take payment in baht.

dividedsky1997

I used this as the time to swap alts at a loss into BTC. Not going back to the alts, will just keep the BTC. But will happily harvest the loss against my stock gains.

BetterThanOP

Wtf is that Y axis? And look at global liquidity when BTC crashed nearly 80% in 2021. Didn't budge.

LegitimateDream4942

What you said is totally untrue. Why can't they sell Apple or TSLA to buy a house...?? Let's play this BTC thing out: I have 2 BTC. It's worth $200,000USD. I found a house I want to buy in Thailand, it costs $200,000USD and I need to pay cash. I can't get a loan since I have no income and I'm not local. How do I turn that 2 BTC into $200,000USD? I'd have to sell it in Thailand right? Because if I sell it in USA, I can't take that much cash out of the country, and I cannot import that much cash into Thailand without declaring it which will trigger all types of shit. So you tell me, how the hell do I "buy a house in another country with BTC". Tell me how BTC is superior to fiat at this point, in this house buying transaction.

JasperNights

Absolutely right. Anyone who thinks BTC movement is determined by one indicator or one piece of news misunderstands the complexity of the market. Bitcoin moves under the influence of a complex mix of factors: Macro Factors: Fed decisions, interest rates, inflation, and liquidity injections/withdrawals. Market Structure: Institutional flows (Inflows/Outflows), Liquidity, and Volume. On-Chain Data: Whale movements, and the supply held by Long-Term Holders. Regulatory Landscape: ETF news and new legislation. The crucial question is: What are the top three indicators (a mix of macro and micro factors) traders should focus on right now to avoid fixating on a single data point?

"Pantera Capital’s Dan Morehead says $BTC is still a single-digit share of global wealth and could climb to $750K in 4–5 years."

ClayFPV

yeah maybe. I don't even hold alts, silver has been in a downtrend since 2011. until it broke 50 bucks. chart looks the same as monero. nothing delusional with just looking at a chart bro. Also just pointing out that when a certain coin or whatever, is in a downtred against BTC is exactly just cherry picking. it means nothing, because anything is in a downtrend against an asset that made 3000%. gold is down against btc too I guess, but not within the last year, because gold almost doubled and btc is lower than a year ago. also trends do break. and if you look at the downtrend monero was in from 2018 you would see that it is attempting to break out of this too. should mean something when a trend held for 7 years and now it is doing something else. if you can't look at charts objectively you are also only shilling your beloved btc. you write about using reason to "lead" somebody to a conclusion.. sounds to me that you are just a control freak trying to force your opinion on others.

MinimalGravitas

Bitcoin rising in price doesn't help here, yes on the one hand it increases the revenue of miners, but at the same time it increases the potential value of a 51% attack to an attacker. If you think about it, as each halvening reduces the amount of BTC going to miners but does not reduce the total amount of BTC, increasing the price per BTC will always increase the reward to an attacker faster than it increases the security budget. Said a different way, if the cost to attack the network is now $40B (just as an example) and the marketcap is $1.8T, then next halvening in order to keep the money going to miners constant we need to double the price of BTC. The cost to attack the network then remains $40B, but the marketcap would now be $3.6T, so the risk to reward ratio of an attacker has become twice as enticing!

LegitimateDream4942

Institutions are buying BTC. But they are also buying bonds, SP500, gold, etc. They have huge investment accounts that need to be managed. Institutions buy because they have extra capital. They have extra capital because the economy is good. They have extra capital because their internal growth has topped (ie. they have nowhere to invest it into their own company). BTC price increase is driven by overall economic growth.

LegitimateDream4942

BTC is not a hedge against inflation. People need to stop thinking that. My BTC fucking deflated 25% during last year. It was suppose to \*beat\* inflation. Instead, prices grew over 30% faster than my BTC. Low interest rates = better for economy = SP500 goes up = Gold goes up. BTC price is driven by success of economy. It's the last thing on the list to go up in price. What BTC is to most people is "hope". It works, but it has nothing to do with interest rates or "fuck fiat" mentality. If people hate government and fiat so much, why the fuck do they care about the Fed.

AzNumbersGuy

It’s fair they could forget the mechanics for what to do with the BTC but it’s highly implausible that they had learned enough about BTC 15 years ago to take the time to set up a miner and then did nothing with that knowledge as BTC has been a major piece of news for at least the last 5 years. So if this was posted 5 years ago maybe (but still super unlikely) but posting it in 2025 nah

MinimalGravitas

Bitcoin's security comes from the miners, who's incentive almost entirely comes from the new BTC that they are being issued upon creating a block. In order for an attacker to take over the network they would need to control over 50% of the hashrate, i.e. more than all honest miners combined. The lower the block reward becomes, the less miners are profitable. It becomes uneconomical for them to pay for electricity to run their ASICs and so the total hashrate will decrease. As the price marketcap of Bitcoin rises, if the hashrate also decreases then it becomes more rational for an entity to execute a 51% attack, reversing transactions, censoring everyone else etc. At that point both the coin and the chain become useless and therefore worthless.

geromeo

Alt coins were a scam to get you to give your money to whales and devs India.  All of who bought BTC. 

SwimmingPatience5083

If you think BTC movement is determined by one data point, well… (it isn’t)

gihkal

You say that like USD will always exist. I'm simply willing to admit that BTC, USD or even gold wont necessarily have value in the future. In a couple lifetimes the majority of humans could be slaves to the machines for all we know. Is BTC a good store of value? No. Is BTC a good means of money transfer ? No. Has BTC be corrupted so miners get more money and users can't have what Satoshi designed? Yes.

galacticjuggernaut

Well, "old" at mid 50s as well. Was BTC invested since 2017, since then I learned a lot and took the opposite of the approach you are taking. But we are not allowed to talk about that learning in here of course. I will just mention the fact the president, blackrocks financial incentive to offer a product, and the kids at work are all about it certainly wouldn't instill confidence in me. so make sure you flip your research algorithms for a bit and good luck.

TidyOnChain

Because clearly BTC is going above 150K$ in 2026, right?

Mirko_91

You are looking at the trend lasting 1 year, ignoring the trend lasting almost 8 years, not sure who is the one cherry picking here. Since 2018, **monero is 85% down compared to BTC,** this is after this pump you guys call a "steady upward trend". You need like another 550% pump in BTC value to reach the old ATH. You are celebrating what is most probably a new local high only to get a new lower low later on and you're calling it a steady upwards trend. Its impossible to use reason to lead someone to a conclusion when they refuse to use reason to begin with.

VariatCA

Eth hasn't really been above 3k since last weekend, when BTC was still above 90k prior to dropping sharply at the start of the trading week

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

BTC is absolutely the king right now, and maybe for many years. I'm fan of ETH too, but for different uses and reasons, and even a fan of XMR for privacy. But all three can co-exist, in my mind.

West_Principle_8190

It it all went directly into BTC at one time then you would see a big daily candle , which absolutely will not happen , id be amazed if 10% of it made it's way to BTC,! you might move the price a percent or 2

spank2023

Crypto is only a smal portion of my overall port, so tbh, I'm not concerned. If you're looking to add to your crypto % though, DCA'ng into $BTC is the best strat

Saffuran

Bitcoin had been on a bullrun since 2023 - if someone lost money on Bitcoin, they were exit liquidity for people who were in crypto from the bottom. This is literally the four-year cycle playing out and people shouldn't be even be thinking about getting back into BTC until around 74k and likely closer to 55k.

hungry-bubba

Nah, Bitcoin died in 2024 when Wall Street came onboard. Its all paper bitcoin now. BTC will be stagnant for years like gold and silver were until THEY decide its ready to realise its true price.

TrollsteinOx

Great feedback. I've added .50 functionality to the input field in the calculator. I'm skipping them for the reference table for now (unless many others want it), as they're only common on weeklies/near-term monthlies and rotate frequently. The table is meant as a quick reference for the major strike levels. So if you're looking at $50.50 you can just type it in the calculator. This keeps the table clean with whole-dollar strikes makes it more scannable. Here ya go! $IBIT $50.5 Strike | Premium $0.84 🎯 Break-even $BTC: $90,387 📈 Requires +$2,337 move (+2.7%) Spot: $BTC $88,050 | $IBIT $49.91 [https://btcetfcalc.com/?strike=50.5&premium=0.84](https://btcetfcalc.com/?strike=50.5&premium=0.84)

JasperNights

Spot on. We are already seeing this play out with BTC behaving more like a high-beta tech stock rather than an uncorrelated hedge. The liquidity is definitely welcome to dampen the manipulation, but the 'decoupling' narrative takes a hit. It’s the price of maturity.

donjoe0

Supply shocks in the form of the sudden halving of miner returns are literally programmed into the blockchain's node software, that cycle was never in doubt and it will always exist until we reach that 21 millionth BTC. Now will that continue to make a repeating easily visible pattern on the multi-year price graph... basically no.

Fearless-Sherbert-40

You used to mine BTC but have absolutely no idea what to do with it?

Rickard403

Lots of BTC available still. Supply crunch is further away than hopium is detecting.

rocket_beer

I dunno lol The narrative that other bag holders bring is that they think BTC isn’t *right now*. It’s just a weird position for them to take and makes it hard to take any of them seriously.

VERSA_CRYPTO

At 21, consistency matters more than perfection, $300/month steadily is already strong. Focusing on BTC to reach a clear goal like 0.1 makes sense, then diversifying later once you feel more secure is a reasonable, disciplined approach

paperlevel

BTC market cap is under $2T, so smaller than a Mag 7 company. Even gold has risk, you only know it as safe because of recency bias.

Rickard403

I understand all that, but we won't see a 100x return on BTC again, or a 23x or a 7.8x. it's wild how we can say we only went up $110k this bull run which is nowhere near as good as the $19.7k run up in 2015-17'. If you bought in at $1k, then this bull run was significantly better than the previous one....so your position matters quite a bit here. And those that are surprised by the measley " 7.8x return this time, get ready for an extremely disappointing 3-4x by 2029.

Impossible-Weight852

FYI, BTC isn’t digital gold, it’s viewed as a risk asset. It isn’t necessarily small, it’s on the same scale as the massive companies you pointed out in terms of market cap.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

I applaud Monero. Having said that, I also think that there's value in BTC's public ledger, for the same reason that there's value in XMR's complete privacy. Different use cases. In some cases, a permanent transparent record is advantageous, in other cases, complete privacy is most appropriate.

terp_studios

Look at the all time XMR/BTC chart…it’s down 64% overall just like when you compare Bitcoin to anything else. It’s obvious the market doesn’t value anonymity over the ability to audit and verify transactions at the base layer. Anonymity can and is already built into a second layer for Bitcoin. All these extra “features” and “tech” that other projects have come with a sacrifice on the truly important aspects of Bitcoin. The market hasn’t valued them against Bitcoin over the past 10 years and it’s not going to magically start now.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

What if BTC is not the king at some point in the future? All empires collapse eventually.

Pkrinv

If you send your dad this video, he’s going to think you’re a moron listening to advice like this and consider it more reason to never touch BTC.  I have some crypto and more stock equity by far….. but this is straight up dumb.

Bitcoin is a blockchain Ethereum is a blockchain TRON is a blockchain BTC is the native currency of Bitcoin. You send BTC on the Bitcoin network, and you pay for transaction fees with BTC. ETH is the native currency of Ethereum. You can send ETH on the Ethereum network and you pay for transaction fees with ETH. TRX is the native currency of TRON. You can send TRX on the TRON network and you pay for transaction fees with TRX. Ethereum and TRON support smart contracts, these are applications which can facilitate a bunch of different functionalities. USDD or USDC or USDT are stablecurrencies. These are tokens that are controlled by smart contracts on TRON and Ethereum. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange where you can exchange tokens, it's controlled by a smart contract on Ethereum. You can't buy "Ethereum", you can buy ETH which is also known as Ether. Same with TRON. You can't buy TRON, you can buy TRX also known as Tronix. A blockchain is a database with contains "blocks" of transactions. Every single transaction on the network is public and recorded on the ledger. BTC transactions on the Bitcoin network, ETH or USDC transactions on the Ethereum network. Here's the latest Ethereum block: https://etherscan.io/block/24063970

What matters is having BTC

DoritoZNJ

Probably go down a lot. To be honest good news bring the price down also bad one. Only thing which pump the price is... I guess if someone knows for sure then they will be very very rich. You just wake up one morning, no major news, normal day and then BTC pumps 7,000$ up in 10min. After that influencers are the first one to put graphics and analytics how this even and that event is triggering it. Honestly total BS. Just buy when you have some extra money, lock inside a hardware wallet and live your life.

flyflyflyfly66

Karma farming maybe? If you mined and you did find a drive from 2010, with possibly millions of euros of value, a simple google search or chatgpt would give you the steps on what to look for, and what to do and not to do. If you can install and run bitcoin-qt 15 years ago I think you could handle looking for a wallet file. Would you seriously be wasting time posting HD pics on reddit?? No chance OP hasn't searched or thought about BTC for 15 years? Now they have suddenly found drives they are clueless? Nope. No way.

LegitimateDream4942

And the value that goes into BTC, is not from the money printer?? Y’all need to wake up. Choosing BTC is like choosing Nvidia stock. Some assets have good returns, some don’t. The source of the return is still from fiat. Bitcoins value comes from fiat. Get real guys.

MeanTwo4080

To be fair once BTC matures a bit more and the volatility decreases the growth rate of BTC price will be equal to money printer as well

NastyMomma69

Google is a great company and stock. Keep for the next 5 to 10 years or longer. Try to build your Bitcoin Position to equal your stocks. So, 50% Google and 50% BTC. Then stack equally from there. After Google is $5K then accumulate a second $5K into an index ETF like VTI or VOO. But keep it equal to BTC. $150 to BTC and $150 to Stock/ETF. Never stop buying BTC. 0.01% is a lie. Need more than that. Soon you will have $50K stock/ETF and $50K BTC. But a cold wallet to transfer your BTC. Start with a small transfer because if you mess up you may lose your BTC.

Ikki_The_Phoenix

Your TRON/Ethereum confusion: TRX is the native token of the TRON blockchain. USDD is a stablecoin that runs ON the TRON blockchain. You're not "investing in the blockchain" you're buying tokens that exist on it.When you buy ETH, you're buying Ether - the token. "Ethereum" is the blockchain network, "Ether" (ETH) is the currency. People conflate the terms. You're buying the token, not "the blockchain itself" - that doesn't even make sense as a concept. "Are these transactions recorded on their blockchains?" Yes. When you buy BTC, the transaction is recorded on Bitcoin's blockchain. When you buy ETH, it's on Ethereum's blockchain. Each blockchain is its own isolated ledger. "Do they communicate with each other?" No. Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains don't natively "talk" to each other. They're separate networks. Bridges exist to move assets between chains, but those are third-party solutions with their own risks. You're asking basic questions about blockchain architecture while considering "investing" in TRON and Ethereum. That's backwards. You're trying to gamble before you understand what you're gambling on. Here's what you should actually do: Don't buy anything yet. You don't understand the basics, which means you'll lose money. Learn the difference between: Layer 1 blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON) - the base networks Native tokens (BTC, ETH, TRX) - currencies that power those networks Tokens built ON blockchains (USDD, USDT, random shitcoins) - assets that exist on top of L1s Understand this brutal fact: 95% of crypto projects are designed to extract money from people who ask questions like yours. You're the target customer for exit liquidity. Specific to your question about TRON: TRON (TRX) is mostly known for: Hosting Tether (USDT) - the largest stablecoin Cheap transaction fees Being heavily centralized (Justin Sun controls most of it) USDD is TRON's algorithmic stablecoin (similar to failed Terra/UST that collapsed) Buying TRX is NOT "investing in the blockchain infrastructure." You're buying a token that may or may not increase in value based on speculation, usage, and whether Justin Sun decides to do something stupid. The gritty advice: If you're this early in understanding, you have two options: Option 1: Learn first, invest later Spend 3-6 months understanding how blockchains work Learn tokenomics, market cycles, technical analysis Paper trade (fake money) until you understand what you're doing THEN consider putting real money in Option 2: Accept you're gambling and act accordingly Put 90% in Bitcoin (the only crypto with 15-year track record) Put 5-10% in learning mistakes with small amounts Don't touch anything with "innovative features" or "better than Ethereum" claims Expect to lose the 5-10% What you should NOT do: Buy USDD (algorithmic stablecoin with collapse risk) Buy TRX thinking you're "investing in blockchain infrastructure" Buy random alts because articles mention them Invest significant money before understanding basics

Tax policy changes might cause short-term chop, but they don't change the fundamental value proposition of Bitcoin. 1 BTC = 1 BTC 💎👾

Why? BTC all time high is determined by the devaluation of the dollar (which is unlimited). Is there a limit to the price of a car? No in 10 yrs it will cost more because of inflation for the same exact thing.

You don’t average down alts. You buy low and sell quickly and put everything back into BTC. When BTC does -70% alts do -999%

The main risk is that all alts will underperform BTC long term. Even eth has underperformed now. BTC is king

I'm a total newbie, but even I know dumping lots of money into hyped but virtually unknown coins seems idk... kinda risky? I was also a newbie five years ago when I bought a little bit of BTC. A few years later I needed some cash, and BTC had doubled. It wasn't that hard. I have no other advice but it sounds like you still have some money so you could dig yourself out of crypto goes well over the next couple years.

BTC doesn't have 10 years to become quantum resistant.

I guess my 4 digit bank code is useless too? Blockchain will adapt the same way it always has. Way back before more of us were even aware of BTC someone managed to mint a billion of them and then the network forked and it moved along smoothly until another issue came. Same thing will happen with quantum. Something even more powerful will probably come along after quantum, either we all die and everything fails or someone thinks of a way to protect us. Just like we have with quantum.

He only has ETH and BTC, as far as I know. He dabbles much more than I... he may have others.

It basically means that a huge amount of BTC bets are settling at once and price tends to move towards that price, in this case $96k max pain that is where most options lose value. In other words, volatility expected

This is a shit post for engagement. Anyone that mined BTC back in the day would not ask that question.

Lol no. It's BTC only, all the rest is just for playing around

Love it! Make sure and reply so that we can see how it turned out. :) For me - if BTC hits 200k, I will have enough to pay off my house. So I'm not FUD'ing nor betting against it. The higher it goes in price is just an incentive for me. But, I've been in crypto since 2016 and have seen how the market and its cycles have evolved; my prediction is based on this.
