If trading is the goal, learn technical analysis on BTC or ETH first.

You don’t really need a wallet. If you don’t have a significant amount of money you can leave it on binance. Wallet is just a safe way to store BTC when something fishy is going to happen in your country. But even if you are forced to flee, you can revolver it from Binance.

The most important part of what you’re saying isn’t the price — it’s the anxiety and lack of trust. When a position is relatively small in dollar terms but takes up a lot of mental space, that’s already a signal. Especially if the issue isn’t volatility, but not trusting the founder or the long-term story. One question that helps me in situations like this is: if you didn’t already own Pulsechain today, would you choose to buy it with fresh money? If the honest answer is no, then reducing or exiting isn’t irrational — it’s aligning your portfolio with your real conviction. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Selling part of it to simplify, lower stress, and concentrate into BTC/ETH is a completely valid move, especially if you’re newer and don’t want to add more capital right now. Letting something “ride” only really makes sense if you’re mentally comfortable writing it off and not thinking about it. If it’s causing constant anxiety, that cost is real too — even if it doesn’t show up on a chart. There’s no perfect answer here, but choosing the option that lets you sleep better and stick to a long-term plan is often more important than people admit.

If BTC surpasses gold's market cap and becomes less volatile, then I think it's likely to become the most popular safe-haven asset, but that's probably a ways off. It's probably going to keep being seen as a risk asset by most of the world for a while longer. Self custody of physical gold will probably always remain popular with people who are worried about doomsday scenarios.

DryMyBottom

tough days, but at least we’re holding BTC. I’m not envying alts investors right now

liviughg

That is the problem. A BTC only market is a vicious cycle whereby its price is driven by those who give up on alts, not because there is any value in BTC. The reverse will come, but not when you expect it.

qpxa

BTC sells off in dollar terms while dollars being debased. Because dollars are such a safe haven.

CyberCrud

In the past decade my USD have lost half its buying power.  Converting to USDC coin wouldn't change that.  In that same period, my silver has gone up 500% and my BTC has gone up like 900%.  Paired with USDC, that's still true.  Fiat is already dead.  We just don't know it yet.  They can print infinite amounts.  BTC is finite.

Negative_Salt_4599

Dude just do stocks. Crypto is very volatile. Otherwise just BTC… DCA I’d wait at least 6 months but you do you.

Rude-Pick-2026

Cash app has seamless integration with BTC. Buy, sell, send all relatively cheap to complete the transaction. Can set up direct deposits to automatically purchase a percentage of BTC each week. Withdraw to a custodial wallet for extra security where only you hold the keys ensuring security. Venmo unsure.

ccroz113

Can you really blame them? Hindsight helps obviously but you can’t expect many people at all to be that clued into something like BTC in 2014

You can look for small Bitcoin gift certificates based on the Lightning Network, which can be easily redeemed for BTC.

If you only bought BTC than the total sum of all your crypto is zero.

PMull34

Where'd you buy that BTC? Part of what makes BTC so valuable is that you yourself can hold the keys to your wealth and move it without oversight. If you buy it on Robinhood, they are the owners to the keys of your bitcoin.  Check out some youtube vids, people like btcsessions will explain wayyy it better than I can on a mobile phone.  Welcome to the new world of money

Coinbase says I can't buy only 21 cents of a BTC at a time because that would make me a poor and they don't want to service poors. Needs to be at least 1 dollar.

kstreetsushi

Imagine you get the $400.00 accumulated and I BTC goes to $125k again. Bam 40% returnz +$160.00.

This_Maintenance_834

send BTC to exchange to get shitcoins. send shitcoins to DEX and buy BTC. send your BTC to your local wallet. no one will ever find out, unless your need to cash out. When you cash out you can do similar way to get fiat.

Sin-City-Sinner

Don’t sell unless it’s part of a strategy to lower your DCA and or total investment in BTC, it’s what I did, it worked out well for me, and now I’m watching the price with my figure on the trigger to buy back in as low as I can for the same amount after I withdrew some nice profits when it was at the ATH. HODL my friends you won’t regret it especially if you ya e the capital to buy 0.5 or a whole BTC

blockstreamHQ

Generally, we advise moving off exchanges as soon as possible to remove third-party risk. For the base layer, the million-sat mark is the community standard for a reason. If you consistently withdraw in smaller fragments, you’re just piling up future fees. A 1 million sat UTXO ensures your Bitcoin remains spendable without being eaten alive by transaction costs later on. This is where Liquid fits in. Lightning withdrawals from your exchange to Liquid via a service like Boltz swaps (service coming soon to Blockstream app) is the elite way to manage UTXO sizes. Massive privacy benefits as well. 🤫 You accumulate in Liquid and only pay the on-chain fee once when you swap that large Liquid balance to your cold storage. **Exchange Lightning withdraw ➔ Boltz Swap ➔ Liquid (Blockstream app) ➔ Accumulate to 1M+ sats ➔ Peg out Mainchain BTC (Cold Storage Blockstream Jade)**

AKBonesaw

Yes exactly. They would have been paid all their hours as regular time and then received all the OT as BTC under the table. The point is not only did none take the offer. As suggested by others. Anytime I paid a friend in BTC for something we split like a fishing trip or gas money, they would always immediately convert it to dollars.

Lisaismyfav

I thought BTC is digital gold?

Hena_Evore

Machines.cash lets you convert BTC or USDT into spendable balance through virtual Visa cards without exchange hopping. You deposit crypto once, create cards with spending limits, and use them anywhere Visa works. Settles in USDC with single-use deposit addresses to reduce wallet linkage.

AKBonesaw

I don’t doubt what was said about most people not able to have the conviction to hold them or it being unreasonable to think they would have invested them long term being the most likely outcome. However for context, nearly all of these guys were single or just dating with no kids at the time. Also I was, and still am, a fucking BTC maxi who was trying my best to help them not blow all their money on cigs, beer and eating out and encourage them to put something aside. I led all these people to the spring and not one of them drank from it. I don’t really try to help people out IRL in this way anymore.

Seems like a "sell the news" on the Bitcoin reserve, plus geopolitical nonsense/chaos. Turns out BTC is still risk-on even 17 years in.

Suspicious-Skill1934

BTC never been a safe haven, at least for now, its a risk on assets dumped with risk on market.

Woof-woof69

They coulda at least do $1 extra…. .21 cents is a joke even if BTC… so in maybe ~5 years that’s a dollar extra but like come on 🫠

RepresentativeAspect

The only thing propping up the price of BTC is its own momentum. It can’t afford a lengthy stall out as people will grow disinterested and sell. Then there’s no fundamental value to sustain any price at all. So Saylor is doing what he must, and praying for the carousel to keep moving.

Agreeable-Sleep-1589

This is the 5 year chart... Does it look like a bear market or the brice just returning to the mean? Every time it swings it either to the moon or to the gutter with everyone. BTC has become mainstream and may not trade in bull and bear cycles like before now or ever again. Looks like a healthy price returning to the mean.... Where it should be.

blockstreamHQ

The cope is real. Gold: requires physical vaults, armed security, and professional assayers to prove it isn't tungsten. High friction to move or spend. Bitcoin: 12 words, moves globally in minutes, verifiable by a $50 node. Both hedge fiat. Only one is natively portable and instantly verifiable. $100k USD in gold is \~650g. $100k in BTC is 0g.

Reasonable_Band1536

Do not touch alt or meme coins. Invest in BTC.

ancillarycheese

This is fine but many locations are not “company-operated”, instead they are franchises. Steak n Shake’s goal is to shift all locations to franchise. So the number of workers impacted by this is smaller than it may seem. Still great for the adoption of BTC

Aus_Dave

Good analogy. At least with eggs, consumers MUST buy some every week for food recipes so there is a hungry constant demand regardless of high prices (happened in Australia recently and the egg aisles were empty). Bitcoin has always been speculative alone, and has competition in global payments and fierce competition for hedging against the dollar (as we've seen with Gold vs BTC prices). As much as I love the Bitcoin concept, if this 4 year cycle drops below Strategy's floor it may help fuel a bubble burst moment where people realise BTC always needed 'more buyers and then... more buyers' without intrinsic value to prop up price. Like the 2000 'dot com' burst where Amazon dropped >90% then rose 1000x, a flush out of the crypto market will be a rare opportunity to buy the few long-term winners that deliver the greatest service most efficiently.

Crazy_names

I have to take a trip in a few weeks and I am so excited there is a Steak'n'shake in the area so I can go and buy lunch with BTC. I dont plan on selling and I know its a little silly to spend it something kind of frivolous but if it encourages businesses to use BTC I'm in for a every now and then.

Doesnt people use BTC... like gold or silver? shouldnt the news make BTC go up.. not down ?

wizardofwestworld

Your logic makes no sense. The S&P averages a return of 10%/year or 100% over 10 years. If you think BTC is going to increase by 20-25% in that time, how is it "clear" that it will be much higher than the S&P?

shredyeti

The only thing to keep in mind is whatever you sell BTC for will probably not appreciate in value nearly as fast as BTC- the only reason to sell is to buy things that offer utility. Otherwise you are just uselessly diversifying.

paulzag

Everything has risk, the goal is to reduce the opportunities for compromise. If you are *not* a well-known BTC HODLer: Download APK & check signature. Boot from a newly prepared Linux live usb Check APK signature still matches under Linux Obtain clean/new SD card Move APK to SD card SD card into Android phone Install APK. Well-known BTC HODLers know what to do as they can’t trust anything.

InevitableButterfly6

Here's my take on your situation and how Bith⁤ome.​tech might be a game-changer for you: You're at a crossroads, and it's a tough one. You've done well to accumulate over 1 BTC, which is no small feat. Your current situation, with minimal expenses and a prom⁤otion, gives you a unique opportunity to make a significant financial move. Bith⁤ome.​tech could be the bridge that connects your Bitcoin holdings to a tangible asset like real estate, allowing you to diversify your portfolio without completely liquidating your cryptocurrency investments. Bith⁤ome.​tech provides a platform where you can buy and sell real estate using Bitcoin and other cryptocur⁤rencies\^1,3\^. This means you could potentially use a portion of your Bitc⁤oin to purchase a home, giving you the stability and peace of mind you're seeking, while still maintaining some exposure to the potential growth of Bitcoin. It's a way to have your cake and eat it too—you get the security of real estate and the potential upside of cryptocurrency.

flumpsy

I'm from the UK I use Strike to DCA. Once you've done a certain amount of recurring buys there's no fees. Think it was about a week's worth. The way I do it is send a standing order from my current account to the strike app banking info each month and then it buys the same amount each day. You can set it in the app to automatically send it to your cold wallet once it reaches your defined threshold in BTC. So you may for example set it to send each time it reaches 0.001BTC so it's in your custody and not theirs. It's pretty "set and forget"

tcp-xenos

time in the market beats timing of the market. If you believe in BTC and what it stands for, a few % on the weekly chart makes no difference on the 10+ year horizon

paulzag

If you have a nation-state’s nuclear secrets on that hard drive, then its adversary’s TLAs use the HDD frequencies and every other trick you’ve heard of to read that drive. That’s current capability. For < $50K USD? A wrench attack or break-in is the greater threat. So I agree with you. People shouldn’t overthink it. If self custody BTC is legally risky 1. Buy IBIT if you can (that will get me downvoted fast) or 2. Follow those instructions via old android phone or Linux USB. Secure your 12/24 words offline for always and forever. Q: if OP buys more at a later date, use a new wallet address. Should OP generate e.g. 5 addresses via 13th/25th word passphrase or 5 brand new wordlists? I think address reuse is a bigger risk if the state ever finds out about ANY of OP’s transactions.

Longjumping-Row-6147

Buy the top, panic sell at a loss, then cry when it goes back up again. Kidding - we are most likely in a large prolonged downtrend after we lost the 50wma for multiple weeks. Slowly DCA into BTC as it drops and stick with only bitcoin for like 2-3 years (maybe some eth) then at the next halving in the post halving year maybe start diversifying.

Ok_Lake8089

BTC people are so smug

RefillCeltics

20–25% CAGR isn’t “bearish,” it’s actually *insane* for a $trillion-ish asset. I’d frame it as a range: maybe **10–25%** nominal depending on adoption + macro + regulation. The bigger BTC gets, the more it behaves like a “high-beta macro asset” instead of a 100x lottery ticket.

awesomeplenty

Whales are looking to liquidate MSTR as they publicly stated that they would be in trouble when BTC reaches $20k. All hell will break loose, cascading domino effects, all exchanges bankrupts as reserves are all fake, 99.99% of projects capitulates as Devs can't pay the bills and finds a real non crypto job, miners switches off asic and pivots to providing GPU for AI instead, everyone's portfolio goes down 90-99%, USDT depegs, and we start over fresh.

Nakamanua

I remember when a guy here in the sub said BTC would never fall below 90k ever again lmaooooo

LuckLocal8213

If you want unbiased information, coming to r/bitcoin and asking if you should DCA Bitcoin might not be the best option. I think just about everyone on here will say that buying it is a good idea. I believe that and so does just about everyone on this sub. At an amount like $4 a day, something you have to think about really is “what’s the worst that could happen.” Obviously, the worst is BTC goes to 0. Highly improbable though and the more realistic worst scenario that could happen in the next year or so would be something like a 50% or 60% drop. Still, I wouldn’t expect that, but let’s say it does happen. Let’s say you DCA and your average price is $100k over the next year and then out of the blue it drops to $40k. If for some reason that makes you want to sell, you would then lose $876. Yes, that is a loss, and that could be a lot of money to you, but that is likely not life changing money. Now let’s look at the upside. Let’s say you DCA and your average price is like $100k and the year ends off with BTC at $130k. This would be relatively low for what would be “expected” in the next year, but would still gain you $438 in “profit” if you were to then decide to sell. In the end, with an amount like this, you aren’t too risking much, so even if it turns out to be a bad financial decision, it won’t end your life. TLDR: $4 everyday is not going to make you go broke even if Bitcoin turns out to be a horrible investment, but it probably will not make you a millionaire in the next year either. This is relatively low risk

chagster001

Unless you’re a day trader, who cares? Why are you treating BTC like a stock?

Infinite-Ad1720

I would love for BTC to stay low for a couple of years so can keep buying each paycheck!

IgotnoideawhatIsay

I sold 30% to buy things I needed extra money for. Tax has nothing to do with this. I made more than 100% profit with BTC. I’m considering switching to gold because I believe I can make more profit with it. There’s a lot of gold hype while interest in crypto has cooled down since Trump won. This is obviously speculating but I think gold is more profitable. That’s why I’m considering switching

IntentionDeep651

holy moly I cannot see how anyone touches crypto for years esp. othe than BTC after this little fake cycle. 

Formal_Lobster_2349

There is no way BTC is going to break $105K without falling to below $40K, there will be so many bull traps before it falls below $40K and people should be cautious with these traps 🪤.

Intelligent-Ad-4462

Owning 0.1 BTC matters because mathematically, far fewer than 8 billion people could ever hold that much — it’s a scarce slice of a scarce asset. Only a small minority of Bitcoin addresses ever reach this level, so it marks you as a more serious participant than a casual holder. It’s also a culturally recognized milestone in the Bitcoin community, sitting right below the “wholecoiner” goal. And if Bitcoin’s long‑term price projections play out, even 0.1 BTC could become financially significant. -copilot

OpticallyMosache

I hope you understand that price going down only matters if you were going to sell. If your plan was to build a stockpile of BTC for 10 years from now, you want the lowest cost basis. The real question you have to ask yourself is if you believe BTC will keep putting in new ATHs for the next 10+ year.

NorthvilleGolf

I’m buying…. Slowly on my way to 0.1 BTC

OpticallyMosache

All I know is BTC will hit a new ATH in the future. The goal now is to accumulate with the lowest cost basis possible.

TexasBoyz-713

In my opinion BTC looks to still be on track with previous cycles, the length between previous halving and bull top was around the same it was every other cycle

Mobile-Passenger3214

Im was up +8% during 2025 (and also sell a bit to buy a car) and 2025 was literally a red candle year how did I do it? I just DCA only people who loose money are those who buy lump sums in ATH Gold and silver outperformed BTC by a large margin last year over +70% by they will not continue to grow at that rate again while bitcoin will average 20% , 25%per year over the next decade

OpticallyMosache

Probably best to prepare for that outcome. Always offers a good period of time to accumulate. I'm a lot happier buying $88k BTC than $120k BTC.

No_Syrup_4068

Just clicked thorugh. As antother user asekd as well (see other comment) Question: What is the highest USD price level that Bitcoin (BTC) will reach at any time between 2026-01-21 and 2030-12-31? **Answer was:** At least $300,000 but less than $500,000 **26%** At least $200,000 but less than $300,000 **24%** At least $100,000 but less than $200,000 **22%** At least $500,000 but less than $1,000,000 **20%** At least $1,000,000 **8%** **Why this estimate?** Outside view: post-halving cycles + adoption vs volatility; $300-500k plausible, $1M needs extreme mania. Just did c&p from the output. May this is helpful..

Mr--Clean--Ass-Naked

kind of yes, Satoshi made BitCoin due to the historical authorities of power/control/manipulation. if only the Presidents/Governors were to actually do their job..... but they didn't, so now BTC exists it's like being born into a world of hungry animals.... everything is always trying to eat you. BTC was invented to fend off these hungry animals, and create a civilized society NOT being hungry animals

chagster001

“A better project that is more efficient and does the same thing” couldn’t replace BTC. That is common fallacy.

namieorange

Did you not hear (or hear about) Trump's press conference? Markets are spooked. Stock market lost 1.3T today. That's more than 1/3 of all crypto market This is not about crypto or BTC. Geopolitical tensions are at max. It diminishes, we go up. It escalates, we dead

Sea_Variety_1691

Not sure what the recent months mean for crypto long term. Obviously 2025 was disappointing but how much of that is the fundamentals of the market or just reactions to quite frankly dogshit macro conditions. I thought BTC was actually doing good in 2025, consolidating at a high price and making steady gains but then wiped out by a social media post.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Despite market volatility, Bitcoin whales, holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC, have added approximately 577,000 BTC over the past year, indicating strong institutional demand. On-chain data shows a shift of Bitcoin supply to long-term holders, with large wallets accumulating during market stress. Exchange reserves remain stable, suggesting holders prefer custody over liquidity. This behavior underscores Bitcoin's role as a strategic long-term asset, with institutional buyers treating market downturns as buying opportunities. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

slyfox1976

Anything can fail with a perfect storm, the question is, will it fail in our life time? Probably not. BTC is for longterm investment.. There was a guy on MSTR laughing because Sailor had made another large purchase of BTC and had lost $110m pretty much straight away. The guy laughing is obviously a clown 🤡

maimutaAfricana

It will stop being gold, but still a part of the gold. Either way, it's part of the design that 51% consensus decides what happens to BTC. If 51% decides another 21 million BTC to be printed, the rest can fork or whatever.

Innercapital89

Agree and great point. If you want to go trading you should ask yourself: what is my edge in trading against the big players and professionals. Strongest communities. I think you should check for communities that keep on pushing no matter how the market is, good or bad. Communities that are pushing into IRL stuff. Check if a community has a high level of face doxing. This creates some public responsibility instead of scammers who are just sitting behind a anonymous account. Imo the community is the main driver of all great projects. Even BTC. You know the videos in the old days where some people gave presentations in front of almost and empty rooms. They didn't care. The just believed in the project, they kept believing, pushing, creating and were willing to connect their identity with it.

WorldBig2869

This is only because trump figured out it was even easier to rig the stock market than the BTC market.

It’s not his money. So even if MSTR folds it doesnt bankrupt him. If however BTC goes to $500.000 … he looks like genius.

Dang right. I’m up over 1000%. No other investment performs like BTC. But you know what, you don’t even have to pay anyone any broker fees either, and that smells just great.

heinzmoleman

The lump sum payment is never the full amount its typically 60-80% before taxes. Applying that here 800K payout, Fed & State tax (assume NY) -383k, leaves you with 416K approx to invest or buy BTC

Any-Prior9140

Honestly, most altcoins are just riding sentiment, not fundamentals. Even in a “bull market,” poorly supported projects can slide way below their previous lows if there’s low trading volume or coordinated sell pressure. I mostly ignore those swings now, I focus on BTC/ETH for spot positions and sometimes let small amounts sit in non-custodial setups I research (like p2pstaking) just to keep some capital moving without stressing about every pump or dump.

RetiredAvocado

Stay away from 2 altcoin wallets you keep mentioning. Both are not good. If you're not in an allowed country why do you think binance will even let you withdraw BTC out? Have you tried that?

Far_Calligrapher_437

With 0.1 BTC, you can already retire in 10 years. If Bitcoin is worth $1 million or more, your 0.1 BTC will be worth $100,000. In any country in the world (outside the US), you are a millionaire.

jawni

Not even sure what you're asking. Previously they auctioned off seized BTC, now they don't.
