Bitcoin is at $63K. Here's why I borrowed cash instead of selling BTC & missing the run to $100K.
Bitcoin miners sold 15,000+ BTC from treasuries to fund AI data center buildouts. Mining stocks are up 56% while BTC is down 17%. Bitcoin's hashrate is now underwritten by hyperscaler AI capex, and the AI trade just had its worst day since 2025.

Best thing to start is to open a Binance or Coinbase account and start investing in BTC monthly. Choose an amount that you can easily spend, even if it just $10. I started with $150 a month. Its so important to just get started, you will learn on the way and with more confidence you increase your monthly payments. Never sell, just hold.
I'm not saying I beleieve this momentum is going to continue, just a completely objective stance. Your observation that you feel the ratio is getting weaker recently isn't right, at least in the timeframe of the last month. It can clearly be seen by looking at ETH/BTC directly.
has no value? Give me 1 BTC for free then.
I've been purchasing fractional shares weekly for over 4 years now of BTC, sometimes more than what I set for weekly,. BTC is 22% of my portfolio. Good luck everyone Congrats, I know how you're feeling!!
Buying crypto with cash would be easier. The BTC seller needs to count the cash and verify its legit. Then they have to be careful not to deposit it into their bank account all at once etc. So there's more friction on that side unfortunately
Yes, you are totally right, odds are low that BTC could ever rise more than 7.5% in the next 3 years. Op did a wonderful job at making money. We should all subscribe to his newsletter.
BTC didnt get "Hacked", exchanges did. BTC didnt go missing, it was stolen from the exchange. BTC isnt suspectible to hacking, wallets which are not properly secured by users get phished or accessed due to users running malware.
I wouldn't suggest it as of now. Almost all miners are unprofitable. Unless you're on a MASSIVE scale. Also most miners are run on 220v. Not 120. Canaan Avalon Q is a 120v BTC miner, but is not profitable. It is quiet also As for the rest of crypto miners... They produce massive amounts of heat and require special outlets to run. ( They also sound like a jet engine )
If you borrow money to buy BTC you are asking for trouble. Unless you are 100% sure about what you are doing, and if you are asking Reddit, my thoughts are you don't
Fuck knows, but hopefully until BTC implodes on itself...
Happy for you, but be careful now the scammers etc is out to get you. BTC ownership is, like other investment, best left unknown. Happy HODLing.
I’ve been into stocks and shares since the 1980s but it was Ethereum and the EVM in 2017 that got me interested in cryptocurrencies. Now I hold more in BTC than I do in stocks.
Taking a high interest loan would've been better than selling BTC. BTC is cheap now and it is the time to accumulate, not sell. Poor decision. You should beg borrow and steal right now to buy and preserve bitcoin.
Oktober 2025 was the BTC ath, in 2 days we are in a 8 months bear market. If history repeats, we have like 2-5 months more and another down. Big if of course, but we could see another drop to 30-40k in the next 5 months. I dont think we will see Bitcoin under 25k ever agian. NFA JMO
As usual, BTC will bottom in autumn. Oct- Dec
What was expected to happen ? BTC reaching $70-80k ? BTC did show a $1000+ up and down movement within that short period of time.

I genuinely dont understand the depression while BTC is at 60Ks. Did you guys honestly forget when BTC hovered between 20-16K literally just 4 years ago?
A feature I'd like, "My Stack" should have categories. I don't consider my Blackrock BTC to be the same as my self custodied, but I still would like to see it when I'm looking at my stack.
The math makes this a total nightmare in reality. Say you buy a sandwich and coffee for **$25.99** using Bitcoin. Here is the punch list of what you legally have to do for that one meal: 1. **Find your original cost:** Look up what you originally paid for that specific sliver of BTC. Let’s say you bought it months ago when BTC was lower, so your original cost (plus purchase fees) was **$15.00**. 2. **Calculate the gain:** Since you just spent it at a **$25.99** valuation, you instantly triggered a capital gain of **$10.99**. 3. **Log the holding time:** Figure out if you held that BTC for under a year (short-term tax rate) or over a year (long-term tax rate). 4. **Report it to the IRS:** Next April, you have to manually enter that $10.99 gain onto **Form 8949**, listing the exact date you bought the crypto, the date you bought the sandwich, your cost basis, and your proceeds. Imagine doing that paperwork for every single coffee or meal you buy. The administrative burden completely kills its utility as a medium of exchange.
Never invest what you can't afford to lose. Assuming you have a job that provides a steady source of income, I would put 1/3 of your money into an ETF like VOO, 1/3 DCA in BTC, and 1/3 keep to yourself for fun money (enjoy your youth). That's just an idea, you can divvy your income up however you'd like. This way, you have a solid, predictable investment for the future (VOO) in case you want to go to college later or start a business later in life. You also have a sizeable store in BTC, which could turn out profitable, but if not, you have a good alternative asset. I would also pick up a Trezor hardware wallet to store your BTC. If you DCA using River, you can set it up to periodically transfer to your hardware wallet. I set mine to transfer after I hit 0.01 BTC.
You could always just take interest in the form of BTC, by far the easiest thing imo. Coinbase (and I’m sure others) pays interest on USDC held with them and you can chose to get paid in BTC or you could stake it
I know…which is why I always tell everyone about BTC
Why not do the math on the HELOC, figure out your payment, then DCA that amount every month into BTC. You can’t default on what you already own. It does not seem like the institutions are going to allow us to have face ripping bull runs anymore. The big money is here, so slow and steady wins the race. The banks want you to leverage your home, don’t do that.
the honest benchmark is the hourly return after fees, hardware and extra spending. cashback can work if it replaces a reward you would use anyway. running a Lightning node is more like operating infrastructure than passive income. for most people, earning fiat and buying BTC still wins unless the method is also a hobby.
"Relatively cheap to fund BTC" doesn't make an interest rate "low." If you can only borrow from Hard Money lenders at 20%, that doesn't make the interest rate "low." Regardless, I am just asking where you get a mortgage at a "low" interest rate? Where are these banks that loan money at 3.5% on a mortgage?
Don’t do it. The market can stay irrational longer than most can remain solvent. I am not a fan of BTC, but the things I am a fan of, I take this approach.
A few years ago I saw, once and only once, a clip of a local news program about a mortgage product that bundled BTC with the home loan. I wish I could find that again just to analyze what they were selling.
Considering MSTR/ASST are buying BTC for 12-13% interest and banks are only charging 3.5-7% for a mortgage, I’d call all mortgages relatively cheap to fund BTC purchases.
He said take a mortgage, not take a second mortgage. I think if you own a house free and clear then leveraging that to buy BTC if fucking genius.
Nah, just put what you can spare in BTC. End of the day it could be tomorrow or 2040, not worth more uncertainty on top of uncertainty
Don’t take a mortgage for BTC. Just don’t bro
Tbf it sounds like the house is paid off and you’d be cashing out equity which isn’t horrible if BTC is at 60. That being said, I would never cash out equity for BTC. I remember back in 2017 a lot of people did that and got fucked when they sold on the big dip. If you are okay having a mortgage payment I guess go for it. I would strongly suggest you don’t though. I’d rather have a paid off house than a whole BTC.
Because wealth moved away from BTC and into other high risk assets (i.e. AI) earlier as they were pumping.
Why not both? My fun money in BTC did a clean 5x and helped me buy a home. My stocks are boring and consistent.
Because no rate hike is a good thing. If they raised rates today it would have tanked BTC also. If they cut we would have had a nice rally.
Bought 0.6 BTC at 99 USD. Saw it fall to 50 USD and got sweaty hands because I thought I made a dumb investment. Immediately set an irrational sell order at 100 USD which was covered shortly afterwards. Bought back in at 250. Probably easy to guess I repeated the error but I learned from prior mistakes. It's a rollercoaster. It'salways good when you know what exactly you get in, but as a matter of fact most people know shit about fuck - this gives the extra excitement. Some enjoy it and some panic quit while the thing is diving deep down into a nice valley. Consequences are lethal.
If BTC drops and stablecoin supply is rising, that’s absorption—not pure weakness.
Dude its crazy u ask this i literally asked chatgpt and Gemini this the other day. I feel like ETH is slowly drifting off into its own direction. It's still following BTC for now but everyday it's steering away.
It has to be because recently the actual ETH/BTC ratio has been increasing. Albeit only for the last month or so, but you did say recently
It sets federal rules for crypto (commodities go to the CFTC, securities to the SEC) plus a real registration path for exchanges. For Bitcoin specifically it barely changes anything, since regulators already treat it as a commodity, not a security. What the bill actually does is lock that in as law instead of just agency policy, so a future SEC can’t easily flip it. The real winners are altcoins and exchanges, whose legal status is genuinely up in the air right now. No real downside for BTC here. It just hasn’t passed yet: cleared committee back in May, now stuck in the Senate over an ethics dispute, probably slips to fall.
You musta bought a lot of shit then Only BTC is worth stacking, everything else is noise
How is it going well? BTC is down over that time frame.
BTC entered its sideways phase. You won’t see any significant movement for the next couple of months.
It followed NQ and ES and BTC both up and down today bud…
$600/week. Jesus. Congratulations on the beginning. I hope you learn more than just watching price/volatility. I hope you explore the history of the current monetary system, and how BTC fits in today’s economy.
I stopped looking after I didn’t swap more ETH to BTC at the 0.08 level. Now it just makes me sad. I have lost all faith in Ethereum and hope I can dump these bags
What's so special about the ETH/BTC ratio lately? I see a chart.
BTC plunging with SPY step by step.
I know most look at price, but my comment was purely about fundamentals. BTC,ETH,LTC and several others from the early days are showing on chain growth. Not death like one would expect if they were indeed worthless
Kraken has Buy with Kraken funds. $90 gets you $10k if BTC and if your long play goes up by 12% you get roughly $1,200 in BTC. So more or less betting
You can tell how close the bottom is by how little comments are in the daily discussion. The daily is about as dead as when BTC crabbed in the 16K range in 2022.
BTC CEO just held a press conference saying that the beating is going to continue until morale improves.
Don't trade your BTC for alts
Nah, I think you’re seeing something real. ETH still follows BTC, but every bounce feels weaker lately. The ratio needs to show some actual strength before I’d call this just noise
Fair the yield is low, but BTCfi yield is pretty low and definitely understand the risk averse view. Starknet has a proven track history with BTCfi and as a blockchain. Technology that built Starknet is reputable, some of our researchers also actively contribute towards Bitcoin's own roadmap development (in the field of quantum security): [https://github.com/avihu28/Quantum-Safe-Bitcoin-Transactions](https://github.com/avihu28/Quantum-Safe-Bitcoin-Transactions) BTCfi is necessarily about the supply yield, its usually utilised for its capital unlock so the borrowing side is quite handy for many that do want to free up capital, without selling exposure to BTC and additionally, the core announcement above is on the privacy side. This is an end to end private solution to supply and earn without exposure. We'll soon have fully private bridging into Starknet via Bitcoin, to make the entire journey confidential
Post is by: CategoryEqual339 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1va5f31/anyone_else_noticing_the_ethbtc_ratio_behavior/ BTC pumps, ETH lags 36–48 hrs like usual, but the catch-up move is shrinking. Used to close 60% of BTC's gain, now barely 30%. ETF flows softer than expected, L2s pulling activity off mainnet, SOL still eating attention. Am I pattern-matching noise or is the ratio genuinely rolling over? What's your read going into Q3? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That's a good point. Cashback cards seem like one of the most practical ways to accumulate small amounts of BTC over time. And yes, avoiding interest charges is key, otherwise the rewards lose their value.
Thanks for mentioning it. I'll look into how its BTC rewards compare with some of the other cashback options.

US doesn’t explicitly say this, but they recognize BTC and other digital assets can be used in lieu of dollars for global trade, which makes it harder for US to have more financial/economic control via tariffs and sanctions. US is trying to be first to have regulatory framework in attempt to be the “leader” in the space. They want countries to use USD “stablecoins”, which can be used to funnel foreign capital back into US treasury bonds which help the US government pay for government expenses. Essentially USD is f’d in the long term. And the only way out is to officially navigate this new crypto space.
Pretty simple. BTC doesn’t care about the clarity act passing it doesn’t have feelings. Many financial broker types want it to pass to be able to clearly state (hence clarity) to their customers what crypto if any to invest in because most of crypto would then be legitimately considered digital commodities. Commodities like gold, baseball cards, comics, etc. The clarity act would increase adoption becuz grandma would consider it safe enough to invest in thus price of BTC will go up with increased adoption. Mostly everyone else is foaming at the mouth knowing that if adoption kicks off heavy. There are 6billion or so people in this world and only 21million BTC ever. So the rally alone would be pretty nice
First owned was BTC... but that led to... BtcTalk mining forums where I built multiple Radeon 290x rigs to mine POW coins. I mined some of the earliest blocks of DOGE. Was a /r/Dogillionaire many times over. Still have my Josh Wise #98 shirt... Lost 10+ million doge and more than 300 LTC in the Moola/Mintpal exchange drama. Quadriga happened but lucky I had nothing in there... Then capitulated into Cryptsy in 2015 only to have Vern fuck me again in 2016. Multiple BTC and LTC gone again... In 2016 I was reignited by ETH and activated old shit coin wallets and dumped them all on Cryptopia (mostly Mintcoin lol). Ended up with double digit BTC. Bought a lot of Antshares. I still have a giant folder of wallet.dat files around that I have no idea what they are for. So many wallet app clones
People that were ready to sell their BTC at those prices largely already sold. That's the reason the bottom is forming (not in necessarily).
I wanted to buy at 60k years ago. then i wanted to go all in at 100k over a year ago. I've been consistantly buying at 58k, wether it goes lower or higher. This is my accumulation and DCA time. I've been watching BTC since 2014. This price and everything lower is a steal.
I bought BTC first because back then it was the only cryptocurrency.
Litecoin. Then BTC because during that time all the alt coins could only be bought with BTC. Then I bought ADA. I fell for the hype and bought shit coin Colossus Coin (COLX). I had millions of those coins off chain on my old laptop. Spent at least $1k on those coins!!☹️😡
There are credit cards that offer rewards paid in BTC. Like Coinbase’s AmEx. Just be sure to never carry a balance or it’ll completely negate the rewards
BTC to buy things on the darknet in 2013. I still hold the change!
50 BTC mined in 2009. Thought it was stupid and never really invested in it long term except I just recently I started buying 25 cents worth every hour. I guess it’s never too late to invest.
BTC, ETH, LTC in that order. I still have the history on Coinbase and I sometimes look at that history and those prices. August 2017.
I'm curious what ever made you think Doge was worth anything? I knew all the way back in 2013 when it launched that it was nothing more than a BTC clone hoping to abuse meme culture to generate value out of nothing. It actually did much, much better than I ever expected it to.
It offered fast and almost free transactions which seemed like magic at the time compared to BTC and ETHs extremely slow and expensive transactions.
My introduction to crypto was being hired to build mining rigs around 2014. By that time BTC was already being mined via ASIC so you couldn't compete with GPUs and we had to mine other coins. Unfortunately 2014 was too early in the crypto space for much innovation to have happened yet so all those altcoins were basically just bitcoin clones that are dead nowadays.
Bitcoin, 2020. I was never into purchasing crypto, when it was profitable to mine at home I'd run Nicehash to mine ETH and get paid in BTC. I then started mining ETH directly, as well as other mineable coins like RVN as I expanded my mining rig. When ETH went proof of stake I sold all crypto and all GPUs and never looked back. ETH killed my enthusiasm for crypto, lol.
Never know. I think there is room in the market for several winners. Although it will be tough to argue against BTC as the best store of value crypto.

Darkcoin. Plus a ton of others. I took profits - not on every project, stuff like XCoin, Blackcoin, NXT just never seemed to take off. But I used a shotgun approach and ended up way ahead off of a little bit of money. I was convinced BTC was gonna be MySpace to some other project's Facebook. I was wrong. BTC was like Windows and the other projects were like OS/2 Warp, BeOS, FreeBSD, et al. Meaning that despite what I thought were superior white papers/projects in many ways BTC's name recognition was more important than anything when it comes to a speculative asset.

I bought BTC first but quickly exchanged it for shitcoins like SIA, IOTA, NEO, NANO, Civic, etc. At the peak, I had about 3.3 BTC worth (on like $2000 invested) -- which crashed to basically nothing. I then made the mistake of selling all my shitcoins for BTC at the very bottom. They almost all recovered to near ATHs in 2021 which would have got me back close to 3 BTC. I learned my lesson and stacked BTC ever since so now I'm above 2 but less than 3. Probably invested something like $50k though, maybe more.
IMO it's not a good idea to talk to anybody about BTC especially if you do self-custody...
So the premise is that I risk my BTC due to a bridge hack, to get subsidized STRK to get 2% APY or whatever? The risk/reward makes zero sense here.
Putting your BTC at risk for 2% APY on a windy blockchain audited by a company no one every heard of with a cheap ai logo? No, thank you.
What's the point of this question? If the past would repeat always exactly we would all be rich with trading and sports bets. And what does it help you if people answer with 2 months, 3 months or 30 months? If your insecure about buying BTC then don't do it.
I don’t think BTC will ever be used as currency like that. I’m on the digital gold train. You don’t see people buying things with gold for the same reason. I think stablecoins are the future, and maybe somehow backed by BTC like cash used to be backed by gold.
10/6/26. Thats the end of the bear market strictly by the 4y cycle. I don't actually think that will be the date. BUT if it is I was right. ;) And it has something going for it: Around that date, after the first bigger price jump up at the latest, evey damn BTC/Crypto influencer will flip bullish because the "bear market year" is over and we "should have" 1000+ days of upwards momentum. That clicks and sells and will in itself be worth something.
last time i sold half of my BTC, and it went up. So let me sell the rest now...
I first heard of BTC in 2012, and heard about the faucet. Thought for sure it was a scam lol. Little did I know… 2017 really got me into studying crypto. It truly has the power to make everything more efficient if we let it.
Oof. I remember the IOTA hype. There are several from that 2015-2017 era that are just gone now. At least cryptos like BTC and LTC are still growing on chain.
> I don't see any tangible difference between LTC and BCH Not gonna lie, that's on you bro 😎😄. Just one example: BCH doesn't have a crippling Blocksize limit. And can dogma free take the best upgrade path as hard fork or soft fork. > LTC and BCH tbh, both hover around a similar market cap and occasionally swap positions, and both are marketed towards p2p transactions (neither one has significant uptake). LTC overtook BCH as "BTCs silver" when BCH was up against all the maxis selling. But since BCH overtook LTC again there was only a single short lasting time where LTC was above it. LTC mainly rides on the shame free transactional blockchain for maxis when the BTC blockchain is clogged. > LTC implemented it's privacy feature much earlier and has seen negligible usage, I don't see any reason why BCH would be different, As far as I followed that development it wasn't a well received implementation and I think I remember someone claimed they broke it already?!? But to be fair I'm not sure on that. >I don't see any reason why BCH would be different Because BCH was always privacy oriented and Cashfusion has been used for a while already. Now you can have scaling, zk-privacy and smart contracts on one Bitcoin chain.
use it for farming and gains to acquire BTC
Bro, don't make me remember 2021. I was rich and poor in the same year. I had like 3 BTC, all gone.
Initially mined BTC in 2015 and sold in 2016, then buyed Harmony ONE in 2020 and made a profit and then purchased LTC thinking it would go to $300.
First coins always tell the story of the cycle you entered. LTC/BTC is pure 2017: Minimalist Coinbase, FOMO and discovery. Today the gateway is memecoins and L1 of fashion. The pattern always changes, the essence does not.
