This post is about Altcoins. * **Even ETH (the largest and most prominent alt) is down over 50% in 5 years** * **BTC itself is only up 20% in 5 years** You also ignored everything I said about tax. Crypto has been an objectively terrible investment

MrMoo151515

BTC sits at \~$80k/coin in 17 years of its existence. Totally a failed experiment. Pack it up boys

Cryptocodes_eu

There’s no magic amount of BTC you “should” own. Start with your budget, not someone else’s stack: keep emergency savings separate, avoid borrowing, and only invest money you can afford to lose. Small regular purchases can spread out your entry price, but they don’t guarantee a profit even after five years.

Most coins went into bear market since the January 2025 tarrifs . Only Zcash , Monero, hype and TRX did well since then for both 2025 and 2026. BTC , BNB and XRP were strong in 2025 but then they also tanked

baacode_

Zcash was propped up crap from the beginning. Except for BTC and eth the current top 10 is a fucking sham

Keysar_Sozee

Did you mean the BTC investment group or ***the*** BTC investment group. It’s not the same you know, it’s invite only.

Big_Percentage_7541

Monero mostly cause everybody uses it on the darknet. That was the usecase also for BTC in the early times. Hype cause it's not following BTC, this is also true to Hype.

BTC halving also next year?

If I had to bet WW 3 vs BTC to 1 million, I'd bet WW 3 comes first.

None. They are virtually all just hyped junk, aside from a very select few and even then you are better off sticking to BTC!

Post is by: Zhytaleks and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1xq07rx/bitcoins_next_big_move_will_institutions_save_the/ Bitcoin's recent sell-off raises an important question: are institutional investors actually making the crypto market more stable? On November 5, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $430.2 million in net outflows, according to ETF flow data. Source: https://farside.co.uk/btc/ This highlights something we sometimes overlook: institutional participation works both ways. **The bullish case** Long-term institutional adoption could create sustained demand for Bitcoin. If major asset managers, pension funds, and other investors gradually increase their BTC allocations, the market could benefit from a broader investor base. **The bearish case** Institutions don't just buy and hold forever. They also rebalance portfolios, manage risk, and respond to changing financial conditions. During periods of uncertainty, ETF redemptions and institutional selling can add pressure to an already weak market. Leverage makes the situation even more complicated. Liquidations can accelerate price movements in either direction. **My perspective** Institutional adoption matters, but it doesn't automatically guarantee higher prices or lower volatility. I think we need to pay attention to three things: Actual ETF inflows and outflows. Spot market demand and trading volume. Bitcoin's ability to reclaim and hold important price levels. Rather than assuming institutions will buy every dip, I'd prefer to see evidence of sustained demand. **Here's what I'm curious about:** Are institutional investors making Bitcoin stronger in the long run, or are they making BTC increasingly dependent on traditional financial markets? And during a major market correction, do you see institutions as potential buyers — or another source of selling pressure? Interested to hear both sides. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The best answer to this would honestly be to just buy BTC. Sure, a lot of the big name alts everyone can think of probably won't go to $0, but there is a solid chance they will do little to nothing and just continue to bleed. Bcash is a good example. It went on a crazy run going into 2017 as the real BTC, it peaked at over 4k that year. It then tanked to a bit under $100 in late 2018 and spent 2019-2020 ranging around $100-$500 or so. In the spring of 2021 it peaked at $1400 and then crashed down to the lows of the previous cycle. It's spent YEARS lingering around $100-$600. At time of writing, it is trading at $260. Litecoin is another example. It peaked at $400 in 2017 tanked to as low as $20 in late 2018. In 2019-2020 it spent a lot of time around $40-$50 and in the spring of 2021 it peaked at $400, so it did reach it's previous all time high. Since the highs of 2021, it spent most of 2022 through now at a similar range, with $40 being the absolute lows but with a lot of time around $50-$60. It's had a few moments near $100 or even a bit above it but that's about it. As I'm writing this it is at $52. With these two examples, if you bought the lows you wouldn't be down with regards to $. The biggest issue is that if you had simply bought BTC instead you would have been way better off. In 2019-2020 you would have been buying BTC at 10k or under. In 2022-2023 you would have been buying at 16k-30k.

Kazixt

Oooo this morning it was BTC BAD now it's a rebound. The crypto market is pure speculation. Why do you think it goes up and down with the stock market. You can make a killing if your ass is willing to bet big on overnight bids. Made 15$ once recently off of a leveraged 100x leveraged .20 bet. I dunno. I at least like the spinning reals of a slot machine more than watching red and green candles.

Romanizer

The thief is spending hundreds of billions to build a machine that is able to break Bitcoin, while not making any revenue with it as the capacity is completely blocked by cracking keys. If the victim of the attack decides that it is better to give the whole 50 BTC of each wallet to miners instead of to the thief, the incentive for such an attack falls to zero. Would they still spend money to build that machine?

martinez-k60

If you're willing to learn, 2-of-3 multisig across vendors is the serious answer. Practice restoring it with a tiny amount first; the easiest way to lose BTC is building a setup you can't recover.

While it's true that in Paraguay was caused by fraud, deposits can be paid back in their domestic currency which they control. That's disengenous to say that the executives of those banks that went under in 2023 in the US are blameless. They were negligent in their jobs. The point is, there are many mechanisms in place to make people whole. The whole point of a currency is to enable economic transactions among each other, even if its purchasing power declines over time. Paraguayans or anybody else has the ability to invest their fiat currency at any point in time that preserves their purchasing power over time. Just as if you were paid in USD you can invest into stocks or bonds, even if the purchasing power of the USD erodes over time. You only lose purchasing power if you keep all your cash under the mattress, which isn't advised. What do you think would happen if people used BTC as a currency? Oh financial institutions would arise that store and lend other peoples BTC. What do you think would happen when fraud occurs and this exact scenario took place? Well none of the authorities would be able to print BTC, and everybody is SOL? It's no different than what actually happened under a gold standard. This is just reinventing the circle all over again. This doomerism has nothing but ulterior motives to push the price of your investments in BTC up.

GalaxyDefender1x

Invest into BTC only what you wont need for 5 or more years... I started more than a year ago.. and I am still UNDERWATER. Expect that to happen to you. I was up like $100 dollars once. for like a week... NO FUN

Pathbauer1987

I remember when hodlers were saying that BTC was supposed to be a hedge against economic recessions.

MeriticulousOne

Done this myself. Biggest thing beyond price drop is the liquidation threshold and whether they rehypothecate your collateral. Coinbase is variable so your rate can climb. Figure Markets and Ledn do fixed rate BTC loans, no credit check. At 40-50% LTV you've got cushion but know the margin call level.

Greifvogel1993

Just put your money into physical assets. BTC and the supply are fungible. They are not as secure as you are led to believe (Binance), and the value of it is HEAVILY dependent on the M2 and supply. Nobody ‘likes’ bitcoin for the coin. People ‘like’ land for the space. People ‘like’ gold for the luster But something tangible, non-fungible, that people actually value.

laoge300

I’m worried that Ledger might misappropriate the funds, so I’ve set up a multisig wallet using both Trezor and Ledger, and have moved my BTC from Ledger into this multisig wallet.

I’ve lost passwords (not seeds) to dat files with over a dozen BTC.. at the time it was worthless & I wrote the random character password in a notebook that is no longer around. That was 12 years ago, lol. Still have the .dat and will crack it eventually. 3 stricks and it locks, but I think I can make 1000+ copies and brute force it…. ?

PeacockMamba

This is advanced. For those of you who’ve been here early… I’m Holding a physical HDD with .dat files in a safety deposit box. Why? Because the BTC are VERY old and there’s at least 10 in each file. Passwords are in a relatives box at a different bank.

getcoinline

ETF shares vs. owning BTC directly: an ETF in a brokerage or retirement account is simple and tax-friendly in some setups, but you can't withdraw or send it. Owning the coins means you can self-custody, but you're responsible for security. Neither is wrong; just know which one you're buying.

CeldrellMaxwell

The fact that BTC has held strong at a low of 75K despite all the terrible things that have happened in the past two weeks tells me NO. you’re dreaming. Institutions are holding and buying more

SavingsLettt

The correlation with US equities is getting harder to ignore. BTC isn't trading in isolation anymore.

omni_wisdumb

If you think investing in BTC in 2026 is the same as having invested in "the Internet" in 1995, then you're a clown. The 'internet" in these examples are companies, and they were invested in as startups, you also knew very quickly if it made it or not. Investing in BTC 17 years after it's inception is very very very different.

10kpizza

Yes thats not possible under this scheme. In that situation much better would be to move the coins before Q-day. Or use the DropKick scheme for recovery if your wallet has a seed phrase backup (which pretty much all wallets since 2013 do). This landmine idea looks like its mainly aimed at the 2009/10-era 50BTC mined coins which have never moved.

Potential-Royal-1704

Since the BTC address is real and the transactions when traced splits up and the last wallet has 23 BTC in it today just sitting there, I'd suggest you go to directory 'misc/turtle' (that's where the tortoise lives) and do a 'ls -a' command to see if there's any hidden files. Then check if there's multiple accounts on that laptop and check all their bash history. Proceed from there. Goodluck.

Doppelapfel007

or maybe he discovered BTC is not so stupid, and vanished.

gigasawblade

So you would have to have amount equal to the full wallet balance available or you can't move the funds? This doesn't sound good.. I mean imagine you have an old wallet with 100BTC and you want to transfer 0.001 out of it. Is it at all possible and what is the collateral under this proposal?

MrStarrrr

It is if you consider that you wouldn’t only be able to buy 7.6% of a car, you’d be able to buy the whole car still. For simplicity sake, say a nice car costs $76k, 1 BTC now. If I still have my $76k in USD when the cost of a nice new car is $1MM USD, I can’t buy the car. If I have 1 BTC and the price of BTC = $1MM USD, I can buy the car. If I purchased at a price point lower than $1MM USD then I have a positive rate of return *because* I can still purchase the same item. In this scenario, BTC is a hedge against inflation. We don’t know if that’ll be true or to what extent.

givemeyourbiscuitplz

I usually get attacked when I say that self custody of BTC is extremely complicated. It's only a very small fraction of the population who are willing to learn all there is to learn to do it. Over a certain age, forget about it. And here we see someone who's apparently tech savvy, with 10 years of experience, who lost an amount that could be soul crushing for a lot of people. So I'm sorry, but btc is still not safe, and will remain fringe technology probably forever. Another digital asset could be chosen as a world currency. BTC is mainly used for speculation, and let's be real, if there wasn't a possibility for huge gains 99% of you would not even look at it.

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Bought 661 BTC at $75,600, and I'm currently up $235,126 usd :) ... \*On my paper trading account 🥲

Zhytaleks

BTC Update — November 6 Bitcoin briefly moved below the $75,000 support zone, reaching approximately $74,811 before recovering toward $75,600. This is an important reaction, but not yet confirmation of a bullish reversal. On the 1H chart, BTC remains below its short-term moving averages, while the 4H structure continues to favor caution. I'm watching two key scenarios: - Bullish: BTC reclaims and holds $75,900–$76,000, potentially opening the way toward $76,500–$76,700. - Bearish: BTC loses $75,000 again and breaks below $74,811, increasing the risk of further downside. The next hourly and four-hour candle closes should provide more clarity. Do you see this move below $75K as a liquidity sweep, or just a temporary pause in the downtrend?

GentleDerp

I’ve heard about the group with the BTC CEO. I want in.

Zhytaleks

That's a useful update, and I agree that the key question now is whether this was a liquidity sweep or a genuine breakdown. A quick move back above $75K is encouraging, but I'd want to see that level hold on a retest before treating it as support again. If BTC keeps closing below $75K on the hourly chart, the bearish scenario becomes more convincing. For now, I think confirmation matters more than trying to predict the exact bottom. Are you watching spot volume as well to distinguish a genuine recovery from a temporary bounce?

Jurgenlklopp

Always has been this way. News > Nasdaq > BTC > Altcoins

stonktradersensei

You have a BTC etf, so you just have exposure. But you own 0 btc. Not your keys not your coin

Romanizer

I mean, that's the least I would expect from OG Bitcoiners. Also makes your transaction propagate faster. This could also work as a good kill-switch for Satoshis wallets. If a transaction is spotted send the whole amount (50 BTC) as fee. That way his Bitcoin get distributed without the thief getting anything.

LearnBitcoinCom

Thanks, that's a clearer way to say why it matters than we managed. A 51% attacker can already censor, but the time warp lets them take something the protocol promised to someone else: in our simulation, on paper at least, all of the remaining subsidy, about 888,300 BTC meant for the next 113 years of miners, pulled forward into the attacker's blocks. Would you mind if we added your "steal subsidy from future miners" framing to the page, credited to you?

Zhytaleks

Yes, and that makes the next few hourly closes particularly interesting. The question now is whether BTC can reclaim $75K and hold above it, or whether the breakdown turns into sustained selling pressure. A brief move below support isn't necessarily the same as a confirmed breakdown.

We aren't trading an independent asset class anymore. We're trading a high-beta derivative of a fragile, debt-addicted traditional system that panics every time Wall Street wakes up. Look at the BTCUSDT perp on Binance on Nov 5 in UTC time. \- 13:00 to 14:30 sat flat around 79.5k to 79.7k, with only 1k to 4k BTC traded per 15 minutes. \- 14:30 (9:30 ET, US cash open) hit with the first big red candle and 9.7k BTC traded. \- 15:00 and 15:15 saw volume spike to 24k and 26k BTC per 15 minutes. That's 6 to 20 times the pre-open pace as traditional finance dumped everything not nailed down. \- 15:45 hit a low of 75,525, wiping out about 5% in 75 minutes. The Nasdaq had its worst day since April 2025 in that exact same session. Crypto wasn't leading. It was getting dragged around by institutional risk desks liquidating across the board to cover their overleveraged equity exposure. The uncorrelated hedge narrative is dead. When global macro cracks under the weight of sticky inflation, fiscal recklessness, and paper-thin liquidity, Bitcoin gets treated like just another bloated tech stock. For anyone trading perps, stop pretending crypto trades in a vacuum. As long as the global economy is held together by duct tape and central bank hopium, the most dangerous 90 minutes of the crypto day are US equity hours, not Asia and not the weekend. Leverage that's safe at 3:00 am UTC gets liquidated at 14:30 when Wall Street pukes. Disgusting!!! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I wanted to see where liquidity had been resting before price reached it, how long it stayed, and whether it traded or disappeared. So I built Solana Perp Liquidity. It compares Pacifica, Phoenix, Bullet and Bulk, with Hyperliquid included as a liquidity benchmark. It currently covers SOL, BTC, ETH, HYPE and ZEC and combines historical liquidity heatmaps with live books, large trades, VWAP, depth, open interest, taker flow, and volume/turnover. One important caveat: an order-book wall is visible intent, not a completed trade or a prediction. It can move or be cancelled at any moment.

Sadly every other node compares your timestamp with the median of the last 11 blocks, so those twelve BTC live on a chain of one.

na3than

The main proposal is that any attempt to move funds from a legacy address would need to be accompanied by an equal amount from a quantum-safe wallet. > Fields would attach a financial penalty to trying. Under his example, stealing 1 BTC would require the attacker to supply another 1 BTC from a quantum-safe wallet. Both coins would then be locked for a waiting period, such as 30 days.

PhoenixProtocol

In what way? Unless Bitcoin will get wide scale adoption, and the average Joe can safely buy / send it to their wallet, it's just not for the average person. Yes everyone (or most people) can learn how to do it, but it's not really an out of the box experience so to speak. At least if you buy an ETF, you're still exposed, can some day in the future sell and buy an equivalent BTC, and you negate some of the major risks that we currently have this year. Let's say you told your grandmother a decade ago to buy bitcoin, bought her a ledger, and now her coins are gone. Unless she might have followed the news (nowadays either Reddit or communities), she wouldn't have known this was going on and could've moved the coins if they were still there. For now btc is just too complicated and that's fine, look how far we've come in the past decade. Most people under let's say 50-60 know at least vaguely what bitcoin is, that's a good thing. Give it another decade and see where we are then.

FoucaultCareofSelf

*dont have fundamentals besides hype.* I mean, that's nonsense too. I'm not hijacking a BTC thread with Eth, but how does ethereum not have fundamentals besides hype? It's demonstrably being adopted by some major financial players -- perhaps tentatively and certainly not fully. But the adoption side (less so the valuation side) is absolutely analyzable.

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Yes, the irony is I believe in BTC as moral idea and technological implementation but I don’t believe in people to start using it which reduces this great idea and tech to speculation.

Sad-Froyo-3198

BTC has already succeeded. The network is useful, global, and secure. You don't have to care about dollar value, but your post is about the value of btc compared to tech stocks. Dollars are just an easy way to quantify value.

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Buy it from me. I have a sell order for you - 1 mil per 0.01 BTC

FoucaultCareofSelf

I think I understand ethereum/eth's fundamental *questions* (big picture, I am not technical at all) better than Bitcoin's. But for Bitcoin, I believe the only thing that matters is: will major institutional pools of wealth (huge asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, hedge funds) allocate a meaningful (1%? 2? 3?) percent of portfolios to Bitcoin as an asset class? I don't believe anyone can say whether or not they will. I can't stand all the smug hand-waving about Bitcoin's inevitability, nor do I like the "bro it's totally worthless" shit either. But the question of Bitcoin's attractiveness to those players is entirely open as of now. It cannot be answered. I do believe IF some threshold is crossed, IF Bitcoin IS seen as a pristine store of value type asset, there could be a game-theoretic institutional run in that could send BTC prices skyrocketing. But this is the only way it happens, IMO. TA will tell nothing about this, zero, unless you count actual indicators that wealth pools are starting to allocate meaningfully to BTC.

TakeDMT

Sell your BTC man, it’s not for you

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Yep, I do self custody - otherwise it’s just a speculation. I would like not to care about the dollar value, however BTC can only succeed if most people start caring for the satoshis and not the usds

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

ETFs are poison. They make BTC a number go up/down “thing”.

numbersev

If you don't have it in self custody then it isn't yours, you hold an IOU. I don't care about it's price in dollars. The dollar will hyperinflate to pay off the debt. I only care about how many Satoshis/BTC I hold and eventually everything will be priced in it instead of dollars.

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Not in BTC unfortunately. I came in about 2 years ago. It hasn’t been a lot of fun since then. Also my youtube got filled with garbage traders

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

I would like to think that I understand it. What mostly appeals to me in BTC it is that it is mine and mine only. What doesn’t appeal tho is that it’s measured in dollars and people mostly give a fuck for its dollar value and that sucks

Warm_Collection_3993

Relax. BTC is being used daily to buy and sell goods, well at least with the Cartels.

UrbanGrower187

Yeah BTC price action doesn’t have much to do with the tech sell off but what do I know.

Competitive_Cook_939

That’s not really what they are complaining about in their post. They are complaining about the price being correlated with volatile tech stocks instead of BTC’s price behaving independently

Pyroll2206

So they are different reason for the correction in BTC : 1. it is a risk-on asset. Even with the regulation and adoption, BTC is for the financial sector one of the riskyest asset to own. They get sell first thing when it goes south. 2. Is it an digital currency, produce by mining with Cards&Ram. So it is a tech-stock in that regard. (Price of ram goes up, price to mine goes up too) 3. It is a liquid market, open 24/7 so it is easy to sell if margin is callin on the rest of your portfolio

Loud-Researcher-6127

Yeah, frustrating when BTC follows tech stocks down but doesn't bounce back with them. Hard not to be disappointed.

Embarrassed-Cat-3548

Nah, but came into BTC at a time when I ve mostly felt pain so it become a bit too much lol

EntertainmentOk9467

TLDR: if BTC goes lower then it goes more lower of it goes higher it goes more higher.

skr_replicator

Pretty much sounds like a bad idea to impose such landmines on people who didn't consent to have such "protection". Also I'm wondering if that could be exploited or turned against the user by the attacker. Like the attacker putting a landmines on the owner's own coins. And how to ensure only the owner can prove the proof to sweep the landmine? Anyway if one had any other valuable asset like their house, they might be able to borrow some BTC against that, use it to claim the stash, and then return the borrowed bitcoin and keep their house and the stash.

Zhytaleks

I agree that price action matters more than any single indicator. Moving averages are useful for context, but they don't predict reversals. The $77K–$79K area is particularly interesting after the recent sell-off. A rejection there could reinforce the bearish scenario. I'm also watching whether BTC can establish a higher low with stronger buying volume. Would you consider a reclaim of $81K sufficient confirmation, or would you wait for a successful retest?

na3than

> However, this whole setup could create extra cost for honest holders, because the blockchain cannot tell the difference between a quantum thief and the true owner. Someone moving their own 1 BTC under those rules would also need another 1 BTC as collateral. An early holder whose entire fortune sat in an old wallet would need matching funds to move it. That was my first thought. Imagine your deceased parent left you the key to 25 coins held from 2012. You'd need to put up a $2,000,000 Bitcoin "bond" to receive your inheritance.

GRP-TeamRocket

Amazon created kinda an own market, is successful in different sectors. BTC still doesn't have a real usecase and will never become a viable currency, because it's technical limited

Dazzling_Cash_6790

why do you think that this is bullish for bitcoin ? I don't see any huge amount of inflows in BTC, even on the current prices.

r3v3rb_1

Good point. While I’m far from an expert, and in absolutely no position to question anyone from MIT, I read this article while a little voice in my ear kept asking “how is this going to be exploited?” I’ve been a big believer in BTC for a long time, but the tech world is getting too far beyond what I’m comfortable investing into with blind trust. Scams, exchange hacks, cold wallet supply chain loss of trust. It’s all a battlefield now, and when people begin to think the ETF is the safest route than were done.

As of November 6, around 12:00 UTC, Bitcoin was trading near $76,100, following a decline to approximately $75,158. Here are a few things that caught my attention. **1. The 4H structure remains weak.** BTC is trading below all three moving averages: MA(7): $76,620 MA(25): $77,746 MA(99): $79,561 This suggests that the broader short-term structure remains bearish despite the recent bounce. **2. The 1H chart shows early stabilization, but not a confirmed reversal.** Price has moved above the 1H MA(7), currently around $75,833, but remains below MA(25) near $76,537 and MA(99) around $77,819. **3. Volume is an important part of the picture.** The strongest recent volume appeared during the sell-off. The subsequent recovery has not yet shown comparable buying activity. **Two scenarios I'm watching:** **Bullish:** BTC holds the $75,158–$75,000 area, reclaims $76,500–$76,600 and begins forming higher lows. **Bearish:** BTC breaks below $75,158 and fails to reclaim that level, suggesting continued selling pressure. Personally, I don't see enough confirmation to call a bottom yet. A short-term bounce and a genuine trend reversal are two different things. **What would convince you that Bitcoin has found support: a higher low, stronger buying volume, or a reclaim of the moving averages?** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It's also very naive to think that artificial intelligence or agentic AI would prefer a slow tx speed with no programability. Not dunking on BTC but AI at large wouldn't be using BTC, it would also make zero sense as a store of value to AI until its quantum resistant given the near term risks. It's only humans who suffer from the emotional attachment and tribalism of treating everything like it's your sports team

Tbh I used to buy into the "hard money" thing when I first got into BTC about a decade ago, but that use case has been decimated in recent years, because: 1) There is no Bitcoin development that can be used by an average person that has proven itself to have better synergy of simplicity and security than the legacy banking system. 2) All these years later there is still virtually no way to spend Bitcoin directly, meaning even if some Paraguayan held Bitcoin, they'd still have to use the legacy banking system to get it out after exchanging it for fiat. Bitcoin still has a use case as a store of value - but most people are best holding it via an ETF.

At this point BTC just tracks the stock market, what's the point even

SPY at prices not seen since end of July. Very likely dumping like it always does this time of year… I don’t see any reason why BTC can’t go back under 60k 🤷🏾‍♂️

BTC/SPY is green on weekly, Bitcoin is literally outperforming the stock market

I’ve held onto coins before just because I wanted to break even. With LTC, I’d look at how it’s performed against BTC and whether I still believe it has room to grow. If the reasons for holding are gone, selling part of it might make sense. Waiting just to recover the purchase price isn't much of a strategy.

Aprovecha. Hoy estamos en las rebajas. BTC a 75000$ no lo puedes dejar pasar. Compra un poco hoy. Y si en los próximos días se mantiene o baja, sigue comprando. En menos de 1 año me lo agradecerás. No es consejo de inversión, que quede claro, no soy tu cuñado. 😅

At what point do we stop calling this analysis and start calling it what it is: throwing increasingly ridiculous numbers at the wall until one eventually sticks? Tom Lee has made a career out of predicting massive Bitcoin rallies. When he's right, he's a genius. When he's wrong, the deadline quietly moves and an even bigger price target appears. That's not forecasting. That's being permanently bullish and hoping nobody checks the receipts. The real test isn't whether he predicted Bitcoin going up. A drunk monkey shouting "BTC to the moon" every January would have gotten some years right too. Show me his track record of correctly predicting major crashes, bear markets, and turning points. Show me whether his predictions consistently outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy. Until then, he's not demonstrating predictive skill. He's demonstrating how profitable it can be to sound confident while being repeatedly wrong. A prediction without accountability is just financial entertainment.

$btc (big titty coin) earns $BTC for holders with over $20 worth. The LP is also in Bitcoin, so I'm a huge fan of the meme. Even if it reaches 1% MC of Bitcoin as memecoins are not seen favorably by many, that will be $1.60 a coin. Right now a coin costs roughly $.012 , so huge upside potential imo

BTC is never stolen. If I transfer BTC, that means I have the wallet private key. If I have the wallet private key, the BTC is mine.
