BTC

JeremyLinForever

That all fine and dandy when people have an exit plan. It’s once they squander their fiat and think they have a chance to buy back that same amount of BTC at the bear market that will be near impossible. Every silk roader or trader back in the early 2010s will tell you.

GreenBullOne87

I’m only down like 7% on my solana because I just started buying. I bought 1 just to have it on my radar and then it dumped hard like a few hours later, as alts do lol. Always the way it goes. Then I bought a bunch around $60 so I might be up on it now, I haven’t looked. All my small caps are a mess though. I put like $5k into alts in November of 24’ and that was about $500 last I looked. I’ll DCA into some of the better ones a little bit while we’re down and hopefully get some of that back and the others I’ll just hold as lottery tickets. If them moon shot, badass. If they don’t, oh well. I’m mostly all in BTC and ETH now.

quintavious_danilo

You don’t need it at $50k though. Simply start to DCA and you’ll catch a perfect middle ground. Or, play by the cycle playbook and wait for October, that’s when BTC usually bottoms out.

quintavious_danilo

Greed. People obviously believe 1 BTC is worth at least the exact amount it is today and that’s why they go and buy it when it’s under = cheaper than its fair value.

WatchDecent2822

The problem isn't BTC...it's power and capital resources now that AI is the main game in town. The BTC story for most institutional investors is old news. Perhaps when the AI bubble that will change -- but more than likely if AI bubble bursts there will be a massive global recession which will take down everything.

Ill-Blacksmith3260

Well no its not technically a currency, it's a ledger. And that's smart, there is no value in BTC.

el_rico_pavo_real

Why has Tradingview been so shit for BTC lately?

stonktaker

This time is a bit different, nearly every single public BTC miner is switching entirely to AI data centres. And it would only make sense for the private ones to do the same. If the difficulty continues to drop, is it actually going to be worth mining from your home next cycle? Could he interesting.

Fast-Ice7537

Why? If the AI bubble bursts should be even better for BTC

No-Reserve-2208

Sell it. Put half into just basic funds and withdraw 4% off it to live off. Pay off my house. Out the rest into BTC for my kids. Retire.

czarchastic

It keeps up with inflation. So far I’m winning on selling my BTC at $100k. But I guess I’m still entry level 🤷‍♂️

sweetntenderhooligan

I suppose the stage where it is supposed to show the correct BTC balance instead of 0 in the Blockstream app? After entering the PIN to unlock the Blockstream jade, and using the Blockstream app on my phone in conjunction with the jade plus to access the wallet using QR codes, the wallet that was generated on my phone said 0 BTC, and I tried it over and over again. I was using it in watch-only mode.

Top 30 marketcap altcoins and only 25$ BTC

My_Name_is_Imaginary

BTC and Etheruem. The only 2 that matter

sweetntenderhooligan

I experienced the same thing last year, my Blockstream app showed a 0 BTC balance after connecting to it with the jade plus and it scared the shit out of me (especially because I used a paraphrase and I thought I messed it up when entering it). What I found is that my btc was not lost- what is happening is that Blockstream is broken. I did everything correctly including ensuring the correct derivation path. I used sparrow wallet on desktop and was able to access the wallet using the seedphrase and passphrase, then sent it to a new address. Again, as long as you have your seed phrase your btc is safe even if the Blockstream app shows a 0 balance. You did nothing wrong. This is super shitty of Blockstream, they need to fix it.

ThePugz

I do. Buy every single day. Buy 1% of a BTC every 20 days.

MadSL1m

This perspective is spot on. And if anything, your situation is even more favorable than that because half of $126k is nothing when it comes to BTC terms. The last three bearish episodes brought negative results equal to -84% (2018), -77% (2022), and before that two rounds of -86% and -93%. As you see, each cycle starts at an increasing bottom and experiences lower declines, meaning that the process you describe is taking place indeed. A fall below 50% is not the cycle end, it is the cycle consolidation.

Rock_Strongo

Value = what someone is willing to pay for something. So yes. BTC doesn't need to do anything at all to have value if the market says it's worth X amount of [insert whatever currency you want here].

QuietPsychological72

That my dad can’t use it to buy breakfast. If you can ride out the volatility BTC has succeeded in its role as a store of value. It has not succeeded as a commonly accepted currency. My boomer dad has made his way to both the iPhone and chat gpt. Not bitcoin though. He has no use for it. For me that’s the acid test of technological acceptance.

semaj_1028

You make a great observation on how the state thinks about crypto co-mingling and FIAT currency. And how they feel it is completely nessasary to either heavily regulate to maintain control. Or completely suppress crypto as a whole. But I have to correct the BTC logic. Satoshi Nakamoto never said that. In fact, he left a ton of evidence pointing to the exact opposite conclusion. By nature, It was explicitly designed to function as an independent, self-sovereign digital alternative to the traditional financial network

Repulsive-Lake1753

Literally anyone who uses the term "dead" to describe BTC or even altcoins, I don't listen to them. They are all dummies. Dead is non-descriptive term, hyperbole. It doesn't mean anything because they use it as if it's TRULY dead, when there is clearly ongoing activity. It's at 60k, and it's "dead"? Use your words. It's in a slump, it's at a low point, maybe say "I'm concerned it's never going to hit that ATH again". So many options to use in the english language.

Repulsive-Lake1753

Buy some BTC now, then buy some more later. Look into DCAing, and start only with BTC, maybe ETH. Once you've done that, have an account with an exchange, and understand the basics then.... Be sure to look up total supply and how much is out there already/if it's it max supply. BTC has 21MM max coins, XLM has 50BB. Entirely different supply/purposes. Because there are so many more XLM, it's almost never going to go up as much as BTC, for example. Send test transactions of small amounts for any transfer or wallet use.

Repulsive-Lake1753

I mean, you did ask about bags, I don't consider holding BTC a bag but LUNA SURE IS!!!! LOLOLOLUNA

unknowngloomth

You are missing the guy point. Apparently he only a BTC holder now as everything is bullshit. Apparently the guy used to mine LTC back in the day. He was answering your assumptions since you said he doesn't know what a PoW and PoS is

Careful_Reaction_405

This is a great gift. A couple thoughts from doing this for family: If part of the goal is *teaching* them, the hands-on route is a hardware wallet (Trezor Safe 3 is a solid, well-documented starter — buy direct from the maker, and generate + write down the seed phrase together; that lesson is half the gift). If you'd rather the gift be something physical they can actually hold, a cold-storage card/coin like Ballet works nicely here: *you* load the BTC onto it yourself, then hand them the card. No seed phrase for them to keep track of, no app, no battery — it can sit in a drawer for years until they're ready to move it into a wallet of their own. For a kid's starter gift I'd lean that way; for a big long-term stack you manage yourself, a hardware wallet is still the more standard choice. Full disclosure: I work at Ballet.

el_rico_pavo_real

Oh, 100% agree with that. I’m more coming from the “BTC is Money, SPCX is a company with multiple operating businesses” angle.

TheForesightGuy

Yes, but 10+ years is nothing when set against the enormity of the task of BTC becoming actual money. I have no doubt BTC will overcome the adoption hurdle, but that will not happen for another 10+ years, and certainly not in a political and economic climate as we have today!

JuicedRacingTwitch

>Edit- Maybe I am too Decentralized for this subreddit lol. It's crazy that anyone thinks the government has your best interests in mind Satoshi himself said BTC would not take over FIAT but co exist, what's crazy is how many of you go this extreme crypto only views when that was never the intention of BTC.

MaconBacon01

Yep DCA Eth and BTC. Works really well. I don’t even know what this tao is. The chart just made me laugh. Your post made it seem like it was on some meteoric run up and you got out with good gains.

FrequentSky5711

I’ll try my luck 😄 If anyone comes across this and feels like funding a crypto enthusiast’s coffee, I definitely wouldn’t say no . ETH: 0x5d99d1E9d8B14bEF0C6FB677bcbC1def16961861 BTC: bc1qtdjy62d3fn8atfu3kj3ezf57nza5vgncwy7hs6

if you want opinions on what BTC is going to do visa vi digging you out of your position, this subreddit is just going to tell you it has infinite value no matter what you bought it at

ETH, BTC, ADA (sniff) and BNB, and some of the stables

Ill-Blacksmith3260

Hello I would like to learn about crypto. Buy and hold BTC!!! But how does it work? BUY AND HOLD BTC!! I went to collage for Maths and I'm really smart, buy and hold btc for 4 yrs and you're done... Emagine asking Vitalik Buterin "how do I learn about crypto?" And he says "just buy and hold ethereum" 😂🤣 you'd think they guy was an idiot. Just saying 😌 🤷

Ill-Blacksmith3260

The biggest problem with people is not fully reading or understanding what's going on. The OP original post says he wants to "learn about crypto and eventually invest", you didn't even read that part, you just rushed to try and completely dismissed what I said all for you're simple agenda. Going off on these long rants about nothing, trying to prove your such a great investor when no one cares. You've only proved you're intelligences level is very low, and I highly doubt you've gone to any school after high school, im not even sure you're out of high school. Now if there's anything else you have to say to the OP to help them learn about crypto besides "buy and hold BTC" you should comment him directly. 😉

CoffeeAlternative647

Bitcoin is only speculative if you measure it with a volatile currency like USD. The 1st Bitcoin mined has the same value of the last Bitcoin mined 10 minutes ago, that's why 1 BTC = 1 BTC. Now, if you measure it in dollars yes, first bitcoin mined didnt have any value (fractions of a penny) but the Bitcoin mined 10 minutes ago is worth 64k dollars. Volatility depends on the ruler you're using.

substandard2

Yeah, right... Bitcoin couldn't beat the S&P when all the ETFs hit. Holding BTC means you are down over 50% compared to holding the S&P. Will BTC come back? Sure, but I highly doubt it'll beat the S&P year after year. It isn't the new get rich quick item anymore.

unknowngloomth

BTC, HYPE, VVV. I've been looking for some mid and low market cap coins which aren't massively down from its ATHs, it must have clean tokenomics. It must be around like for like 1 year. It must be a descent and growing volume and liquidity. I haven't found any so far..

unknowngloomth

Because the website I used just had BTC and Monero as an option.

ThePugz

Every idiot that says BTC is dead also knows that it’s absolutely going to hit another new ATH in the future. They suffer massively from cognitive dissonance.

BookOfKingsOfKings

BTC, XLM. That’s it for now, im too bearish to trust many coins right now, and want to diversify beyond crypto but no clue where to start.

finniruse

BTC went from 16k to 125k. That's a whopping return and cycle.

Mysterious-Unit-5330

yeah this is exactly what i thought aswell, if you would have bought BTC 10 years ago you would probably be a millionaire now also so what even was the point here?

DRAGULA85

Holy fuck, we are the presence of someone: \- predicts the future of price \- must have made a huge BTC bag. \- AND still has the time to dunk on bitcoin plebs with about 0.0003-0.0008 stacks of BTC.

jeremiahcp

My point was that you don't need to know any of that stuff. To invest in crypto, all you really need to know is: buy BTC and hold it for at least four years. That's common knowledge at this point. It doesn't require a degree, it doesn't require an understanding of statistics, and it doesn't even require understanding how the blockchain works. It's stupidly easy to understand and even easier to execute. Overall, investing is not even that hard.

Redditmau5

Although I agree with you that hundreds of thousands or even a few million won't move the needle. Microstrategy's BTC buys are OTC so it doesn't matter if they spend trillions it wouldn't move the needle either way

Designer-Beginning16

Good luck. It doesn’t look good. BTC only.

EconomistNo5807

I'm actually pretty bearish on BTC in that time frame.

CaptainK718

Real millionaires generally don’t tell people they’re millionaires. I like your enthusiasm toward BTC though. Keep at it little buddy.

stereoagnostic

6 or 7 figures is peanuts. Microstrategy bought over 1500 BTC a few days ago. That's a billion dollar buy - 9 figures. Even that did not "pump my bags".

PlutoPlaneta

in this context: remember when it was all about "The Flippening" (ETH overtaking BTC) ?

FitCompetition1804

It’s called hedging against BTC not reaching certain expected price targets. Makes plenty of sense if you have plenty of dry powder to significantly reduce your dollar cost average if your large limit orders execute. Especially if you don’t have a previous BTC position like myself. If you bought 10 years ago and most of your stack is from then, sure I’d have a different approach. If you’re lucky enough to time the actual bottom, of course that’s preferred. How many people in 2022 were left in the dust because they swore BTC was going to $10k? Anything below $75-80k this year is on sale IMO if you expect to hold for the long haul. I’ll triple to quadruple my position if BTC reached the low $40k range vs not dipping below much further from our lows this year. Both scenarios are possible. At least I’ll have a position either way and that’s the strategy behind doing both.

Reach_Beyond

BTC, ETH, Reddit moons

uppermosteN

I also don’t believe OP is a millionaire, at least not BTC-made. But I also believe not everyone becomes a douche-bag once they get to that point.

Lotus_G6

I can confirm this is true. I am only 5 years old and have been investing in BTC for 10 years already

Ok-Astronaut4952

You know how insignificant the daily flows from mining those 450 BTC a day is? Compared to the total volume? And then only half that amount will be mined after this next having. With each halving the miners have less power because their trickle represents a smaller and smaller percentage of the total circulating supply. This is just math, and it’s something the community chooses to ignore so they can continue their cycle mentality. We should be scared if the 4 year cycle is here forever, because it means there is no more money to be made relative to S&P returns but we still have all the downside

FitCompetition1804

I mean I read a story where a welder is now a millionaire since getting company stock in 2015. If he would have used the same amount of compensation from SoaceX and bought BTC in 2015 and onwards, he’d also be a millionaire.

Darkpriest667

Yup, it sometimes happens. It was like 41000 doge and I bailed at 60 cents. I only believe in BTC anyway, so I shed all the crap coins ages ago. The only reason I even had Doge was it was the only thing I could buy with this .001 bitcoin back in 2016 and transfer back to myself. It was the BTC left over from a transfer. Apparently I couldn't send that .001 LOL otherwise I never even would have had the DOGE in the first place.

Glad_Sky_3664

He's the smartest. Bought BTC, dumoed it away at 320 now buying tanked stocks lmao.

Free_Entrance_6626

If you only have $60k cash, You can buy 1 BTC at 60k, or 1.5 BTC at 40k Where is the math wrong?

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

A lot of people in my circle started with a simple BTC/ETH split just so they could learn how the whole process works without feeling like they had to chase every new narrative. The biggest mistake I saw was friends jumping into random mid-caps because Twitter was hyped that week. For exchanges, I'd honestly put more weight on recent user experiences with deposits and withdrawals than marketing claims, since that seems to change faster than anything else.

Ill-Blacksmith3260

Well what about BTC are you investing in? BTC it self isn't an investment, it's a digital currency.

Ill-Blacksmith3260

well then that's not investing, that's buying BTC and holding lmao you can do the same thing with pokemon cards 🤣 Successful investors either know economics or know blockchain technology or are lucky, everyone else loses money.

DeadPhish-710

I traded my BTC for LTC over 10 years ago. Its down about 95% since then...

discostuu72

Nano works so fucking well and effortlessly compared to BTC. Shame.

Wasabi_Hammurabi1

I put in $2K. I like what I see with BTC, don't get me wrong. However, a lot of business people that I follow on YouTube think that it will drop to the low to mid 40s. Yeah, sure, when you look back to $124K BTC $63K looks incredible and it is but I am trying invested in multiple ways and I am trying to snipe the best opportunity. Never pledge your allegiance to any one thing.

TheBigLR901

PayPal is hacked way too many times to make it a serious platform for BTC or any currency.

Educational_Cable405

I did a remote contract that paid in the company's local currency for about a year and a half. Watching my savings quietly lose buying power while it just sat in the account is what made this click for me. Holding nothing isn't neutral, it has a built in drift, you just don't get a red candle reminding you every day. At least BTC puts the volatility on screen where you can actually see it.

jeremiahcp

Fuck the blockchain. You don't need to know shit about the blockchain to buy BTC and hold.

jeremiahcp

But they do get an answer. Almost every time, someone says: buy BTC and hold for at least four years. That has been the winning cheat code in crypto. Yet some of you crypto bros would rather play Wolf of Crypto Wall Street than follow the strategy that has actually worked.

Educational_Cable405

I keep a couple of older S19s in my garage and the only reason they're still plugged in is the breakeven math flips every time difficulty drops. Last winter I was technically mining at a loss but the heat offset my propane bill, so the BTC was just a bonus. A drop like this is when the same boxes quietly start printing again without me touching a thing.

Longjumping-Bonus723

When BTC is at ATH and/or BTC dominance drops you will be back at your entry. It's about two things. A good entry and patience. Since you didn't had a good entry you need even more patience now.

The_Vibe_is_Eternal

I mean BTC still topped around 1,060 days after the bear market bottom like it has every other time

Lacklusterlandon

Just how time and markets work sometimes things will be cyclical but I wouldn’t bet on any coins simply bc their value is assigned by what the masses deem and people are rotating to bigger and better things. Yesterday I was trying to make money on SOXX and semis and once spacex ipo launched volume went dead af everywhere 😂. BTC just has no strong draw anymore and will not outcompete the likes of AI or Space anytime soon

DRAGULA85

Holy fuck, we are the presence if someone who predicts the future. Makes a huge bag, still had the time to dunk of bitcoin plebs with about 0.0008 stacks of BTC

nature_nate_17

Basing off what you said; AI is a bubble that will eventually pop, and the same can be said for the recent SpaceX IPO for example. Plus since COVID, retail investing has been proven time and time again the market is unrealistically fabricated/leveraged and the only proven hedge against it is BTC, so in my eyes, that makes BTC valueless and a constant threat to FIAT. So zoom out of the 4 year cycle and we are perfectly on track towards those numbers.

nature_nate_17

We’ve gotten past $125k fairly easy, and that was in a market that was uncertain and only been growing more uncertain with time. BTC does this really funny thing where it always breaks people expectations in all of the best ways

el_rico_pavo_real

I don’t like this SPCX vs. BTC rivalry… literally Apples and Oranges. This is textbook Fiat framework.

kyletorpey

Something to consider: ETH is down roughly 78% over the past 9 years when denominated in bitcoin. That's a long time in crypto. Each of the ETH/BTC tops in the past two cycles were also lower than the respective previous cycle's tops. Seems bad.

Upstairs-Ant-3917

I'm honestly so happy for you! Congrats. Hope you hold onto it and make a life-changing sum next time BTC skyrockets.

I get it. BTC looks tired, ETH is hated again, and every second post is about AI stocks or how crypto had its run. I’d be lying if I said I don’t look at some of those charts and think maybe I should move money there instead. But I also remember making that mistake before. I bought a decent part of my ETH during 2021, then kept adding in 2022 when everything looked dead. I also had a few alts that I got bored of because they did nothing for months. Sold some, moved the money into whatever was moving at the time, then watched the old bag finally wake up after I left. That was not a strategy. That was me being impatient. So now I’m trying to be stricter with myself. If my only reason for selling is “this other thing is going up right now,” I probably shouldn’t sell. I’m not married to every coin. Some alts deserve to be cut. But for BTC and ETH, I’d rather stay boring. Add when I can, keep some cash aside, and let part of what I already planned to hold earn instead of forcing a trade just because Twitter is depressed again. Maybe crypto really does stay ugly for a while. Fine. But I don’t want to look back in 6 months and realize I sold my main bags only because stocks looked more fun that week. Anyone else trying not to chase the new shiny thing right now, or are you actually rotating crypto money into stocks/AI? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

False statement. I used BTC to bypass sanctions. I sent money to someone in a sanctioned country.

SpartanKing76

Hate to break it to you bro. BTC is also gambling. Not a single actual real world use other than speculation value.

Tossmefamfr

Damn I remember thinking Nano was gonna replace ETH and BTC, how time flies

fh3131

Don't forget ETFs as well. There are many people who may be getting out of crypto ETFs, and while that doesn't directly trigger selling of the underlying BTC, if there is enough selling of that ETF, the issuer will eventually sell the BTC, regardless of price.

Post is by: OpticAlpha8 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1u4om4c/cftc_just_approved_the_first_usregulated_bitcoin/ The direct answer: it changes the basis. Offshore perps on Binance, Bybit, and Deribit have historically carried a funding rate premium reflecting regulatory uncertainty. US-regulated perps on a CFTC-registered exchange eliminate that uncertainty. Arb desks delta-hedge between venues, the basis compresses, and offshore funding premiums shrink. \*\*What got approved\*\* On June 12, 2026, the CFTC issued two actions: \- An Order for Approval to KalshiEX for its BTCPERP contract, a perpetual referencing the spot price of Bitcoin \- A no-action letter allowing Coinbase to give US customers access to perpetuals through its Dubai-based derivatives exchange, Deribit Both operate under the CFTC's existing futures framework with adjusted margin requirements, position limits, and reporting obligations. \*\*Why the offshore premium exists\*\* US institutional desks could access offshore perps, but the regulatory risk and compliance friction were priced in. Offshore venues show consistently positive funding partly because regulated alternatives did not exist domestically. That friction is not free, it gets embedded in the cost of carry. \*\*The mechanism that changes\*\* Once US-regulated perps trade at scale, arbitrage desks can efficiently delta-hedge between onshore and offshore. That arbitrage pressure tightens the basis. Sustained basis compression signals institutional rotation toward regulated venues. \*\*What to watch\*\* \- Funding rate differential between KalshiEX and Binance/Bybit once BTCPERP goes live \- Whether position limits constrain the arb enough to preserve any basis \- Volume migration speed: does institutional flow move onshore or stay offshore? This is the largest structural expansion of US institutional access to crypto derivatives since the spot Bitcoin ETF approvals in January 2024. BTC is near $63,400, above all major EMAs, with order book structure pointing to a $70K liquidity cluster as the next significant level. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Just sell it and watch BTC pump to a new ATH, regret is part of the cycle.

VastJuice2949

Anything other than BTC is degenerate gambling

didnt_hodl

it's not diversification when you buy a ton of shitcoins over the years, you learn one simple thing: the longer you observe this market, the more of a bitcoin maxi you become. it's just how it goes takes some time to realize that the only goal of every single shitcoin out there was to get your bitcoin. and unfortunately even ETH started the same way, the initial offering was literally you get ETH in exchange for BTC

helike13

Cheap BTC was $11 14 years ago.

unknowngloomth

First. You shouldn't be listening to anyone myself included. But I will give you my two cents.BTC maxis are regarded as you can definitely make money off of alts. If you wanna make money you have to be a mercenary. Don't marry any fucking coin. First learn about tokenomics, bagholder ceiling. Once you do that. You just buy coins which aren't massively down from their ATHs and listing price. Check if the coins have some kind of working product behind it being used, check if the coins aren't massively down from its ATHs and check if the coins have a clean tokenomics, check if the coins have a descent and growing volume and liquidity. Low volume and liquidity are a massive red flag..

Superunknown999

But it’s not the evolution of money. If there is an evolution happening it’s stablecoins. Essentially no one uses BTC as money and more importantly no one WANTS to use BTC as money. In its 15+ year history, the best “use case” for BTC has been speculative trading.

unknowngloomth

But bitcoin is down from its 2021 top. Holding BTC for 5 years didn't beat inflation assuming one never sold 😏

Perfect_Interest6239

XRP already got clarity from the SEC my brother and its now a dead coin as its not being adopted bu financial institutions. If you do a bit of research rather than believing influencers that don't know what they are talking about. CC Canton coin is what you should be looking at for this use case , look into it yourself and make a call. If you want long term money growth BTC , ETH and SOL are the coins you should be looking into. This is not advice please do your own research and for the love of God do not listen to anyone making crypto videos on social media.

outofmymind49

No, BTC is in a bear market and has been since October last year. That's a deep as it gets, no need to be reaching so hard 😭

Yuunyxz

People still believe any of this? Don't get me wrong, I've been fan of BTC since 2010, but no way governments will ever allow any of this. And as we know, BTC transaction's aren't all that untraceable as people claim them to be.

CODE_HEIST

If selling $1k fixes a real cash-flow problem, that is a risk-management decision, not a Bitcoin prediction. The bigger issue is having too much net worth tied up if normal expenses force you to debate selling. Keep enough cash that you are not making portfolio decisions under pressure. You might regret selling if BTC runs, but you will also regret being forced to sell more later because there was no buffer.

FanNeither2678

tbh putting half your savings in one coin is pretty risky no matter which one you pick. I get the excitement about potential gains but crypto can be wild - like one tweet can tank everything for months. Maybe consider spreading it around next time? I made similar mistake few years back with different alt coin and learned hard way about diversification. XRP could moon but it could also just sit there doing nothing while BTC runs up. The stress of watching half your savings swing around probably gonna be brutal on your mental health too

Objective_Border3591

Invest 60K. Buy 1 BTC. Become whole coiner. Learn bitcoin and continue DCA. Stay humble and Hodl! Historical time for you. Best of luck!

Polmax2312

It wasn’t 0,31. It was 1BTC per 2000ETH and later for 1337 ETH.
