Becuase your BTC is staked (bonded) on Babylon. BTC its self does not earn yield. Its earning yield through Babylon, so your getting Babylon staking rewards.

It was revealed to me in a dream that BTC will to 2 million by the end of the year. Mark my words.

That Pizza story is truly beautiful. Because it shows how BTC was genuinelly used a currency and not an asset by both sides.

EdLesliesBarber

I’m not sure I have regrets really but I completely exited the market a few year ago after taking profits over the years. My BTC average costs were less than 300, ETH single digits and LTC cents. At the time I bought my a house, set up a retirement account for her and dumped the rest into the market. It’s grown healthily since and we have more than a comfortable nest egg. I don’t really follow or check prices any more but every now and then I do the math and feel a little funny.

CyberCrud

Alts are dead.  But the BTC cycle lives on as it always has.  

Equal_Dragonfruit_39

Exactly yeah. They do have a competitive edge in that users can trade native BTC and not need wrapped assets. Additionally, because of using lightning and lithium it is competitive to CEX speeds. This differentiation could bring volume rather than being the same as all the other dexes

Charming-Designer944

Depends on what is life changing for you. My estimate is that 0.5BTC it will be worth maybe 380k USD in today's USD value by 2035 (5x increase in BTC purchasing power, a bit more in USD value). So the question you need to ask is 380K USD life changing for you today? If your answer is yes then yes.

piggleii

But two posts down someone said BTC “decides to run up”.

You need to lower your cost basis now by getting more BTC now while its on sale.

[Well shit, the clanker was right!](https://www.tradingview.com/x/k8JohM7D/) I sincerely thought the March 10 one was the only one. Weekend of July 24-27, 2020 made a _very_ small gap that hasn't been filled. Idk if I have it in me to call for $9800 BTC, though.

MediumLibrarian7100

Yes and the market isn’t reflexive anymore so the conditions we needed for the post halving BTC pump to cascade into an alt season are no longer there…

FromThePits

Maybe so... but not much fun having <100 sats, if every transaction cost you 1000 sats, even when moving them to second layer solutions. One satoshi might well be +$100.. but if it costs $1000 to transfer, then it might as well be worthless. I predict that bitcoin will become institutionalized in this century, and everyone else will have to share the meager leftovers, if its even feasible to do that. The big BTC wallets will be fine though.

Ced-Invest

The BTC outperforming alts until a new dominance high is the part I'd agree with on flow logic. The "bear market bottom early October" call is where it gets harder. Five months out, specific month, that's a level of timing precision that usually doesn't survive contact with the tape. Macro context is the swing factor. If yields keep printing 52w highs into Q3 you can get a deeper drawdown earlier. If the Fed leans dovish on one print, the bottom is already in. Curious what the framework anchors that October call to. Cycle math from the 2022 low plus halving offset, or something more structural?

Every time traditional markets have a big rally and there's a "negotiations going well", BTC just barely climbs, and then dips back.

Blackiris-Code

Don't reply to DMs talking about crypto in general, no matter the platform. Keep the tokens for now. If your uncle made sensible decisions the value of his tokens is likely to go up. Most okayish networks should gain a bit of value next time there is a bull run on BTC. I believe this correlation is mainly due to how institutional investors manage their crypto portfolio.

almo2001

Made money trading vanillacoin which at some point became VCash (not the other vcash). Its zero time transactions seemed like good tech. I was accumulating to run a voting node for extra coins. One day the price dropped hard and I made the mistake of buying 2.5 BTC of it before finding out why it had dropped. The lone dev went nuts and fucked up the network with a known messaging bug. Poloniex froze it, and a year later they delisted it. Overall I still made a solid profit trading that stuff even with the blunder.

blaziken8x

You think it will go down and I agree. BTC always pulls alts down with it whenever it has any significant drop. Also, I used to hold siacoin for quite a few years, hoping it will go up. Comparing alltime charts, they pretty much have the same chart, pumps hard first cycle, quite a bit less second cycle and fizzles out third cycle. I'm just telling you to go with your gut instinct, don't look for people trying to change your mind.

FigmaWallSt

The millionaire could afford almost 13 BTC while the "bitcoiner" has 0.08 BTC he jerks off to and thinks he is set for life 😂

Factualx

Appreciate it. I do think most of those factors are real but may miss the actual root - which is that none of those things largely matter if there is true value being created, which with crypto - there largely is not. Essentially any system, product, service, etc. Will easily survive and keep growing even with those factors being true - if there is value generation. The reality with crypto is that all of the delusions of what it would do for the world are largely false or at least seemingly very overblown. Hence my point about it being entirely possible that BTC is simply a \~1.5-2T fairy valued asset, and there is actually nothing more to it than that.

Looks like OP got deleted account? You're not OP are you? All I know is, if I had an average at $120k.. I'd be DCA'ing and averaging down hard right now at these prices. I'm still holding, too. No plans to sell. I refuse to invest into the overly tech heavy overvalued, speculated, SP500 that is also getting pumped by retirement plans. SP500 at ATHs -- BTC at like a 40% or so discount from it's ATHs.. and if the SP500 is being inflated by what I mentioned above (mainly the speculation, but retirement accounts, too), then why not just go ahead and invest into the "most speculative asset of all time, Bitcoin"? especially while it's at such great discount? Not being rude to you by the way, great job holding and keep that up! Just expressing some thoughts on why it seems like a better idea to be buying BTC at the moment, \*IMO\*.

Yoloballsdeep

You are 1 in a million, lol. Most people who bought the BTC ETFs are in the red and Michael Saylor is in the red. Just because a single Reddit unicorn is in the green doesn't make investing in a worthless string of numbers a better idea than investing in the best 500 companies in America. The odds are against you when you buy Bitcoin. 30% down YTD 🤢🤮

FromThePits

Im not doubting the succes of bitcoin. I believe that if we manage to deal with the quantum challenge, BTC will become increasingly valuable and scarce forever. I just don't believe that common people will benefit much. We, the first movers will and our children too. But unless we make a plan for our future generations, they will not experience the same upside. They will have to work hard for a few extra satoshis, while wondering why their grandparents was swimming in thousands, millions or even billions of satoshis.. ..and saved absolutely none for them.

East-Cricket6421

Crypto overall lost its potential market cap when BTC was hijacked during the block size debate.  That said it's still the most volatile market available. Meaning if you can navigate said volatility you can still make good money.  However unless BTC suddenly allows for near free txs again sometime soon, allowing people to use it as actual money. Then chances are the market will have moderate growth with blue chips and the occasional upstart at best. It's normal for markets to consolidate as they mature though.

jasperCrow

I don’t even know why you are implying Epstein has any relevance to the inherent value of BTC.

Indianianite

xrphabibi

You’re assuming everyone bought BTC. You 100% can be in crypto for 6 years and lose all your money. In my portfolio, two coins that at one point were highly respected and had major partnerships ended up rug pulling and/or being hacked and price collapsed. I know people in those communities that were all in on those coins for many years. There are many people that have only bought alts or even went all in one an alt that ended up collapsing.

jasperCrow

BTC was a chain for 5 years before Epstein ever got involved. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Post is by: MaB_arreca and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tnb7zi/btc_short_setup_macro_and_structure_both_pointing/ I track a macro scoring model for crypto and right now BTC is sitting at 38 out of 100, which is pretty firmly bearish. The breakdown is ugly honestly — real yields are elevated and rising, ETF flows showed a massive $1.25B outflow last week which tells you institutions aren't just sitting on the sidelines, they're actively leaving. Hashrate dropped almost 6% too so even miners are pulling back. The only things holding it up are a weak dollar and some inflation expectations but that's not enough to offset everything else imo. The daily structure agrees with all of this. We're in a confirmed downtrend on the 1D, the indicator just validated a new lower low, and the daily continuation rate is at 70.6% so statistically this trend has more room to run. That's kinda the whole reason I'm looking at the 15m for entries right now — when macro and daily structure are both saying the same thing you just need a decent entry on the lower timeframe. So here's what I'm watching. Price dropped hard to 74,184 and then retraced back up into premium territory around 77,615 which is right where I want to short. There's a cluster of supply zones overhead between 78,800 and 80,800 acting as a ceiling, and the retracement looks corrective not impulsive. The continuation rate on the 15m structure is 69.3% and retest probability is about 76%, meaning price tends to come back and test these zones before continuing — and when it does, roughly 60% of the time it bounces and makes a new low. I'm splitting my short into 3 targets — 50% off at 74,184 which is basically the previous low and a 1x extension, then 30% at 70,855 if momentum keeps pushing (that's the 1.97x level), and letting the last 20% ride down to 67,801 at the 2.86x extension where there's a demand zone cluster. Stop is at 78,665 above the supply zone so the risk is defined. If it breaks above that zone cleanly then the thesis is dead and I'm out, but right now everything lines up and I like the odds here. We'll see how it plays out. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

PookysTomb

You mathematically cannot be “in crypto for more than 6 years” and lose money, unless they kept getting cold feet and leaving when prices were down and buying when prices were up. If they just bought BTC 6 years ago and held, they would be up something like 9x - 10x.

Man, that ETH/BTC 4h slide is brutal to watch. To stop myself from panic-checking TradingView every 10 minutes and ruined my day, I coded a simple script that acts as a Telegram bot. It monitors key oversold RSI levels and Bollinger Bands anomalies across multiple timeframes and pings my phone when a potential reversal or bounce is actually forming. Takes the emotion out of it. If you or anyone here is tired of chart fatigue and wants to test it, let me know. Happy to share the link for feedback

Think-Sector-6329

been monitoring SOL thru blueblocx, and there's real activity begind it. I wouldn't assume $83 is a guaranteed floor. If BTC keeps dragging the market down, SOL can definitely go lower too. Long term, just watch flows and wallet activity before adding more

liftcookrepeat

I'm leaning range for now. Falling OI with stable price feels more like leverage getting flushed than fresh conviction coming in. I'd want to see stronger stablecoin inflows and ETH/BTC improve before calling it real expansion. Right now it still feels fragile underneath.

Hardest part for me? Ignorance gave me confidence. I thought I knew a lot and that trading alts against BTC was easy money. The market proved me wrong. Twice.

FigmaWallSt

Stupid question. BTC could be @1M in 2034 and drop to 100k again in 2035. No one knows where BTC will be in almost 10 years just like no one knew BTC will be above 100k once. A lot of people hoped it will be extremely valuable in the future, but no one knew for sure especially before the mass adaptation and ETF inflows. BTC won’t grow as much per year like the previous years. You can already see it and even from peak of the bull run to the peak of the latest bull run the growth shrinks

bootmeng

I'm all about Bitcoin backed lending but I haven't quite figured out the strategy yet. Rates like 11.49% for loans less than $250k doesn't seem so competitive. I can get a better offer at Sofi and they don't hold my BTC.

> You’re like an annoying YouTuber that bought a ‘$300.000’ car and then shows a beat-up Mercedes that they paid $5.000 for. That is not a good analogy. A better analogy would be that they bought a car for $5K, its value increased to $300K, and now they talk about having paid $300K for a car. They paid $5K, not $300K - just as OP paid 0.38 BTC, not $30K.

BTC to 1 million. Crazy to see anything that started from cents to dollars and 10x over and over such a long period of time is something that probably naturally a lifetime to produce naturally. Shows how bad the world's problem with currency is

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

Trying to time the “sell now buy back lower” move is where a lot of people get wrecked honestly. I’ve done it before and watched the coin randomly pump right after I sold because BTC sneezed green for a day. If you still believe in NEAR long term and you’re only 10 cents off your average, I’d probably think more about whether you actually need the cash or just want the feeling of making an active move. Sometimes holding is less stressful than trying to outplay every swing.

hypersignals

The collision is real but the framing of "hard money vs yields" misses that BTC has effectively become a duration trade now. Spot ETF flows correlate more with long-duration tech than with gold over the last 18 months. So 5% Treasuries hurt BTC the same way they hurt unprofitable growth names, not because the hard-money story broke. Worth tracking the BTC-to-NDX 60-day correlation rather than BTC-to-gold if you want the read that actually matters for positioning

PuzzleheadedHuman

I work on data at Coinpaprika, so take this with that bias in mind. A few concrete things from running the data side of this workload for stat-arb teams: 1. Quote currency. Run two parallel universes, USD-implied and USDT, and reconcile them. USDT depeg events are rare but they show up as cointegration breaks in the residual when you only carry one quote. Cheap to compute, expensive to discover later. 2. Venue anchoring. For cointegration on top-20 BTC-beta names, single-venue is fine; for the 20-150 cohort the per-venue funding series diverges enough that the funding line item flips sign between venues during squeeze windows. Either tag each pair with the venue you would actually execute on and use that venue's funding history, or run venue-blind on spot and price the funding leg separately. 3. History depth. Pre-2020 OHLCV on alt-L1/L2 names is where most universes silently truncate. If your half-life filter throws out anything with less than \~3x the half-life of history, the survivorship bias on the eligible set ends up biased toward the venues that survived, not the trades that worked. 4. On Q5 publication, the equity precedent does not transfer cleanly because cohort heterogeneity is much wider in crypto. Two cohorts (top-20 perp-executable, 20-150 multi-venue) with separate eligibility filters is more honest than one ranked list.

Epictricker2025

Exactly, In fact the BTC.D chart strongly suggests that Bitcoin is going to outperform alts for at least another few months, until BTC.D puts in a new high, as described in detail [here](https://medium.com/coinmonks/is-altseason-coming-soon-65525386b752).

Zealousideal-One-640

I don’t think 0.5 BTC would be enough to retire or change most people’s lives. Thats about $35k USD. We have a blow off time bull run every 4 years when BTC can 2x or 3x but that 2x/3x gets more difficult the higher its market cap goes. Assuming we got two more bull runs by 2035 and each bull run does a generous 3x, thats around $300k. Assuming you never make another dollar, no social security, no pension, maybe you’d have an okay retirement but hard to imagine it’d be a luxurious retirement with traveling and buying a dream home. The time to get rich off BTC has long passed. You have to be almost rich already to invest $75,000 for 1 whole coin and even then, bitcoin isnt going to grow rapidly like it did previous years. The market cap is so high, almost $2 trillion, it’s not easy for a number that high to continue doubling. It still can but it won’t be doubling as quick as it has to in previous bull runs.

BriBumer

I do not sell anything. If you are not excited about my choice. Make a better constellation. Like 75% BTC 25% Eth Or 50% BTC 25% ETH 25% Different alts. and so on.... BTC and ETH got more reasons to be in the portfolio than some users got braincells... Hyperliquid is used by the smart people. The reason is easy to explain. **Own Orderbook** **Own Orderbook VS Market Maker. Every good trader will prefer the orderbook over the market maker.... Either you trade directly or a third party try to make some better trade conditions for itself.** It doesnt matter for low budget trader. But for the big ones one trade could made a difference which coul be your year salary (hope for you its around 100k) and much more....

SomewhereBusiness503

Your allocation is not crazy, but it’s very concentrated toward SOL and a couple smaller narratives (Render, Celestia). That’s fine if you’re intentionally betting on them, but most long term portfolios end up struggling more with allocation drift than with coin selection itself. The hard part over 5 years isn’t setting the split, it’s sticking to it when one coin runs 5x and another drops 70%. People usually either overconcentrate without noticing or keep tweaking based on emotion. If you want a cleaner approach, keep BTC/ETH as the core and treat the rest as satellite bets with a fixed cap so they don’t silently take over the portfolio. Also, since you’re adding monthly, it helps to have a way to automatically maintain those target weights instead of manually rebalancing each time. A lot of long term investors use rebalancing tools for exactly that, so the portfolio stays aligned to the original plan without constant intervention.

Super_Cloud_5573

I did the latter as well! I don't really share my opinion much on BTC though. When I do it's it's pretty much the same sentiment. Investing is gambling just like any other form of gambling, but one of the few where it can be done successfully for reasons other than pure luck. I invest in a lot of things and I base them on all info available to me and my appetite in said contemporary Setting. If someone wants to do the same then they simply need to educate themselves on what they are buying into and how to do it in a way that doesn't cause regret if it doesn't work out. IE don't invest more than you're completely willing to lose in its entirety. If they can't do that, don't buy in. I simply see BTC as a good investment. I can't say I'm I'm overly convicted in some deep belief of it, I just believe it to be a worthwhile investment as well as a valuable utility for exchanging currency/value very quickly at very low cost. Ive done both for a long time so it's comfortable for me. But for someone who has no use for it as a utility or no real interest in investing in it, I'm not gonna waste my time trying to explain my thoughts to them (unless they ask and simply want to hear).

cryptotouchline

Depends on your own risk appetite honestly. Going all in on one coin feels a bit too “go big or go home” for me personally. I prefer building a more balanced portfolio instead. For example: * VOO / S&P500 for long-term stability * NVIDIA because I believe AI still has huge growth * Some bonds for balance * Then only smaller higher-risk exposure like BTC and ETH And my diversification isn’t just within crypto/altcoins either. I think diversifying across different asset classes matters too instead of having your entire future dependent on one sector or one coin.

Emotional-Eye1878

depends on your definition of "life changing" if BTC hits $300–500K by 2035, 0.5 BTC puts you at $150–250K. Meaningful money, but not retire-forever money for most people

cryptotouchline

Feels like a lot of people are still mentally trading the 2021 cycle tbh. Back then money flowed down the risk curve much harder because the market was way more retail-driven. Now a huge chunk of institutional money just gets absorbed into BTC ETFs directly instead of spilling everywhere into alts. And yeah, the ETH/BTC ratio still looks pretty weak honestly. Hard to scream “altseason” when ETH itself still can’t really outperform BTC consistently.

ResidentResearcher94

I bought MANA and a few other coins early days and sold. Only BTC now. But I got an email about still having MANA coins... I clicked the link, and they drained money from a digital wallet I had. I bet that was an inside job, stupid alts. Only about $40 fiat was in there, but such a fail. Just don't click links in emails or sms. 😫

Good question OP. We have a marktplace platform for people to buy and sell things for BTC. Adoption IS there but nowhere near mainstream. There is a lot more demand for mainstream card-checkout BUT....mainstream card-checkout comes with fraud that is ZERO with Bitcoin. 👍

So apparently the largest lightning transaction ever sent was 11BTC. There's no technical limit. If you and each put in 50BTC to a channel then you can send me those 50 and I can send all 100 back. Whoever receives the transaction needs to have that much liquidity space in their channel. Most lightning transactions are well under 0.01 btc though. Many are only 1 sat!

Top_Bluejay_9483

Im a narrstive hopper but I leave 20% unrealized gains as a runner with a trigger sell at 20% above average cost to cover fees and slippage. Rotation within the narrative. Example: Tao - hold sell at 60% unrealized. 60% ladder back into tao - 30% - Render/ath/icp/virtuals. 10% dry powder. When i close the trade the 20% runne5 left in tao position lets me realize periodically if there is a pump. That runner remains active in the AI narrative while I set up the next major narrative. So if 20% was $1000. I wont add captipl to a trade once it's closed. Just recycle that remaining 20%. Repeat the next major narrative. While slowing expanding the $1000. Lets say my thesis is "digital gold is heating up. Ill ladder deploy into BTC. Once it runs in might rotate into STX, deposit into a vault, borrow against the positon, leverage the borrow at 3x. Move the stop to BE.. when i close the trade 20% of that is now in a vault. Collecting on whatever the yeild is. Long gets closed. Profit is rotated back. And I move to the next narrative. Now I have a AI postion and digital gold postion. Complete profit positions. Ill close it all down when things start to go bad, but ill take the loss waiting for whatever support I set to crack confirming the down trends. Maybe close 50% and start dca's with whatever was left. And on and on and on. I also get to use price ad a lagging indicator since eventually those small positions go back to green. THEN (this is the secret) I can deploy my actual capitol when the narrative confirms and that runner position acts as protection on the full deployment because that runner lets me drop my average cost on the larger deployment. So if im wrong or the market nukes I can generally close the position before my full capitol gets hit. Rinse repeat. There is obviously way more to it but for a basic description I hope it makes sense.

I’m glad. Made almost 2 BTC off early ETH gains. Very very glad I sold and got out. Really feels like the Linux or MySpace of crypto

Depends what is life changing money to you. But by 2035? BTC will likely be on it's way to $500k. So You probably need \~5 to never work again depending on your age.

Cryptocurrency = BTC, ETH, and maybe Solana is diversified enough. Stock = Just go for it.

If the US revalues BTC to one million per coin, they will also have to defend and buy any BTC on the open market for this price or it will not work. This means any foreign central bank or individual should be able to sell their BTC to the US government for $1 million each. If it is still/becomes a useless medium of exchange and no one wants them back, the US will be the biggest and dumbest bag holder of all time.

0.5 BTC will be a 3000 sqft home, uber eats daily and grocery shopping exclusively at Metro Market if not, Lexus vehicle or better, and 2-3 international vacations per year. Source: I made it up.
