BTC

GIGAbtcHodl

we are BTC treasury company, 100% of the portfolio is in BTC

Realistic_Fee_00001

Because this was never the design. The design was that adoption aka usage ramps up as coinbase ramps down so that millions of small fees replace the coinbase. Actual utility producing actual demand and benefit. Unfortunately BTC got crippled and is unable to do that anymore.

docherino

MSTR went up 4000% from bottom to top last cycle. BTC only 800%

Omn1Crypto

Go for the utility alts then, something tangible in the long-term like XRP, HBAR, XLM & ofc BTC, ETH

AbjectFee5982

Paper BTC is a thing

Phantasizer

Thanks. So for now, I will do my one-time transaction with Relai, and maybe use Kraken in a few years, should I desire to liquidate a larger amount (if BTC goes up the way we all hope ;) ). 

edakaya240

With a small account like $300, I’d keep it simple lean toward BTC/ETH as your core and maybe a small portion in a solid mid-cap alt if you want exposure. Focus less on “quick gains” and more on learning market behavior and risk management early on. Consistency and capital preservation matter way more at this stage.

Stats_DontCare0

Trying to label moves as “fake bulls” is where it gets messy tbh. In hindsight everything looks obvious, but in real time it’s just volatility inside a broader trend. BTC has always had these weird mid-cycle runs and pullbacks that shake people out. What feels like a fake rally can just be a continuation after a consolidation, or the start of a bigger move. Personally I stopped trying to time tops and bottoms too precisely. I just scale in and out a bit and accept I won’t catch the exact highs or lows. Curious though, are you actually profitable with the shorts long term or is it more of a hedge for your spot?

BuyTheDip_Repeat

Both let you buy BTC, but different use cases - Relai is great for simple DCA, Kraken gives you more control and usually lower fees.

Aazimoxx

tl;dr: An input mistake by a staff member credited a bunch of peoples' accounts on their platform with 2000BTC instead of a much tinier promotional amount of Korean Won, and even though they got on top of it quickly and reimbursed any of their customers who were unduly shafted, they lost about US$4,000,000 directly from the mistake (plus whatever it cost in crisis management). The guy who was CEO at the time might still be voted to stay. 🤷

BTC vs "alts" is such a weird dichotomy. Alts are such a wide variety of assets that I consider it completely meaningless to group them together or make decisions based on such an arbitrary grouping. Tell me what exact coins you are giving up and I can tell you my thoughts on that, otherwise I couldn't possibly comment on it. I do know that there are coins some consider "alts" that I think have a better long term prospect than bitcoin.

Deep_Independent_610

Economist here, that is a feature, not a bug.  That is why Eur/usd relative value changed 10% and BTC/usd 50% last 6 months. 

Deep_Independent_610

Yes that is why all extortion schemes asks for payments in BTC because it is transparent where the money goes.  If they would let you make a deposit to their bank account it would be untraceable.  Try again.

Post is by: Bcom_Mod and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/bitcoin_com/comments/1s1a9jj/regulatory_clarity_just_dropped_btc_is_ranging_at/ Something worth thinking about after this week's SEC/CFTC guidance: one of the biggest reasons businesses have dragged their feet on accepting crypto payments isn't technical. It's legal uncertainty. If nobody could agree on whether the token you're accepting is a commodity or a security or something else entirely, why would a small business owner touch it? That excuse just got a lot weaker. With most tokens now officially outside securities classification and under cleaner CFTC oversight, the compliance conversation for merchants gets dramatically simpler. "We accept Bitcoin" no longer needs three paragraphs of legal caveats attached to it. The tools to actually do this have existed for a while too. The [Bitcoin.com Checkout app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcoin.checkout) has been sitting on the Play Store letting merchants accept BTC, BCH, ETH and stablecoins directly at point of sale. No custodian, no middleman, settlements straight to your wallet. The tech side has never really been the bottleneck. The bottleneck has always been "what happens to us legally if we do this." That question got a cleaner answer this week than it's had in ten years. Broader merchant adoption has been "just around the corner" since 2014 so I'm not going to sit here and call it. But the combination of regulatory clarity, a maturing stablecoin infrastructure, and a global wartime moment that reminded everyone what borderless money actually does. If that doesn't move the needle, nothing will. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If and buts..BTC not reaching 100k till 27/28. So hide low and chill for couple of years more.

Oh no, 67 affected BTC too

Regardless where you buy your device, it goes through many hands from the factory, before reaching you. Ledger can check that the firmware is genuine. If the check passes, and you generated a random seed phrase with the device, your BTC are safe as long as you keep your seed phrase secured.

orville_w

Are you serious? - you really thought BTC would be Green and go up & to the right forever ?!? - Astounding 🤷‍♂️

CeLLeRy-WKPG

if you are doing that, see what goal u want with that... Are you going for stable gain? if yes, then stick to BTC, ETH, SOL only... If you are into the max gain, max risk, then look for altcoins with higher upside like $TAO, $HYPE or in extreme can go with an undervalued dex coin that has good fundamental like $DIME.

brewmasterlite

Tempted to get out of all my alts and just buy everything into BTC. They are a smaller percentage of my portfolio but it might not be the best idea during a bear market. Thoughts?

marvinrabbit

The crypto market as a whole moves togetherish. So if you look at: * BTC/USD * ETH/USD * XRP/USD * SOL/USD You might see all of them move up or down together. In the larger financial world, the entire crypto market is one big block that can be in or out. Large market movers might weigh crypto against stocks and bonds and REITs and currency, etc. etc. But now look at BTC/USD as the crypto bellwether, and then look at: * ETH/BTC * XRP/BTC * SOL/BTC You will see how each of those show relative strengths to to crypto market in general (using btc as the market bellwether). You might see something like BTC/USD going down, but ETH/BTC holding steady or going up. This is indicating a relative strength of ETH in relation to BTC. At the same time ETH/USD might go down because the whole crypto market is going down. But the individual strengths and weaknesses of specific coins can often be best seeing by comparing them against each other.

OutlandishnessLimp25

My best advice is try to keep saving amounts in BTC that you have a very high degree of confidence you won’t truly need to touch for 5+ years. A problem or pitfall I often see is people sometimes save too aggressively in BTC and what ends up happening is they inevitably need to tap into bitcoin for cash and it almost always works out that they need to do so when Bitcoin is down. Nice work, keep it up!

xxDankerstein

Idk, but I read last year that based on historical BTC trends, it will peak in October.

Ok-Vegetable-8900

100% agree 😅 Lately it feels like the crypto market is just chaos with a hint of luck. Everyone’s an ‘expert’ until the chart blows up. I mostly stick to my own plan now. stacking BTC/ETH, watching patterns, and occasionally testing ideas with tiny bets on Playtank.xyz .At least that way, I’m learning without risking my whole stack.

Ok-Vegetable-8900

Absolutely，under $70K feels like a once-in-a-cycle moment 😅. I’m stacking as much as I can too and trying not to overthink it. For those who want to practice timing without risking the full stack, tiny predictions on Playtank.xyz are a fun way to get a feel for the market swings before committing real BTC.

JarOfNightmares

I sold my entire altcoin portfolio on day 1 of trumps second term and both my BTC at 94k, RIGHT before the crash, because I was reading the news and was like "yeah there is no bull run coming." I said as much when I sold, and both times the magat scum in this sub flipped out on me. I come here now to watch these cucks cry over their dead portfolios.

mjamonks

Just like BTC, it's a thing that some countries might do, but none are obligated, and there really isn't any downside to them ignoring it. No one really needs BTC, just like no one really needs to own gold.

colemusic1

Oh trust me your friend is smart to advise you on crypto cycles and understanding why BTC tends to go through these cycles. Its more about coming up with definitive prices that changes factors - even if structural changes hadn't been made. We can never guess that BTC will hit a \*specific number\*, we can only go off knowing that it has predictable cycles as to when it'll go from accumulation -> neutral -> bullish -> parabolic -> start declining back to a bear market again

Ok-Meaning-7061

I hear you bro. This is my second cycle going into my third this is just what I noticed . The person who taught me was more of an OG and he told me the same thing . So no matter what new adoption happens the having event is a real thing that has yet to be broken . So while your right that BTC is fairly now entering its teenage years this is what has been the story

BTC doesn’t care about Trump. It’s the natural cycle!

CryptographerKey7995

Hilarious how ppl actually think this thing is going to keep going higher and higher because “supply” yet still have found no real world use. Coins pop up out of thin Air. Currency does not just randomly pop up out of thin air that’s for sure. BTC and ETH and SOL may survive but the long run doesn’t look anywhere as valuable as they hyped it up to be. If that were the case NFTs would still be running for millions. But they aren’t.

JeremyLinForever

It dropped like $800. You’re freaking out about a 1-2% drop? Maybe BTC isn’t for you lol.

LatinumGirlOnRisa

Hamzehaq7

this is wild, that BTC price is holding steady despite all the chaos happening. but with that whale strategy in play and the looming economic issues from the UK, gotta wonder if we're in for some volatility soon... any predictions on how it'll impact liquidity? feels like we’re at a tipping point here.

asherlevi

No one is panicking, BTC had an awful cycle, now we’re sitting around for 4 years waiting for likely another disappointing cycle. It’s sad.

RepresentativePen165

I forgot to mention that the person was very particular that I use blockchain.com wallet to receive his BTC so I would assume that is correlated

CleanBaldy

Was this "friend" stealing BTC from Americans and sending it to you for free to withdraw? This sounds so sketchy, why would anyone just give you "a substantial amount of Bitcoin" for free?

IncurableCrush

Get an account at Kraken. See if you can get a PRO acct. Send the BTC to Kraken. Have Kraken’s OTC (over-the-counter) desk sell if for you at the best rates possible. They will then send the $ wherever you want it to go.

quintavious_danilo

Exodus is a closed sourced unsafe wallet with a wide attack surface. If you really need to use a hot wallet, go with open source BTC-only wallets like BlueWallet or Blockstream Green.

quintavious_danilo

Same here. October is going to see me put my entire net worth in BTC and related stocks.

forsenbois21

I was your age, and exactly four years ago in October, I put all my savings into BTC and some cryptocurrencies. Buying altcoins was a huge mistake, but luckily I put 70% in BTC. And the only thing that could surpass a COVID crash would be WW3, but that will only happen when an attack hits US soil. But how did the price react to COVID? everything has a risk even your wife.

Allin_Or_Allout

Exodus is very safe. I have around 18K in BTC sitting there and have been using it for many years.

BonePants

Allow it? It will never happen because it doesn't make sense. The moment BTC becomes pos it's worthless. It's the whole thing about BTC.

dtg99

I don’t understand, do people forget that the crypto market is cyclical? This is normal BTC behavior and it will continue to move sideways while legging down until full capitulation. Weve been bearish for months now.

CrossPuffs

The last two BTC bottoms were Dec 2018, and Nov 2022. If history repeats, it will happen again in the last few months of this year.

0piates

Diversify a bit, outside of crypto. But you’re young. My dad told me his biggest regret was 2 things. Having a regard son like myself, and not being aggressive with his investments when he was young. But Q4 of midterm years has always been the best time to get into crypto. It’s hard to have a long term outlook at 22 though, it was for me. If you truly can stomach the volatility and hold long term you’ll be fine. Also, stay away from micro caps. Stick with BTC, some ETH, and maybe a couple others in top 15.

ilfollevolo

That sounds like the equivalent of the gold standard except with BTC. Why choose a 1TUSD asset over a 35TUSD asset for backup? Also global finances are way past that.and even as a store of value the narrative is not backed by reality…

PuzzleheadedBell4057

I read and participate in these discussions because I find them interesting. But I DCA on the 15th of every month into four majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) regardless of what's said here, what's said on the news, which way the market is moving etc, etc, etc. I do four majors because I don't know what's gonna happen in the future. I believe all four will be higher 5 - 10 years from now. But "one" will undoubtedly be higher than the others. I wanna make sure I don't miss out on that "one".

ubermensch1001

BTC is definitely the go to, but outside a select few, the rest of alts are trash. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of people still own 0 BTC, those holding even .01 or more aren't very prevalent in the real world. What's most likely going to happen is the tradfi institutions will provide BTC products and services to the public, but where general retail is not actually holding the asset. The institutions get the benefits of the upside while being able to make fees off of retail, we already see this now with the ETFs for instance. It's really not that difficult to see where this is going.

thebalancewithin

Still waiting for BTC at under $60k but still buying

LordJamPunt

I pretty much do nothing but track order flow and price action 24/7, guarding my money. ETH sure is fucking buoyant compared to anything else, but nothing is going anywhere if the S&P tanks in the morning. If that happens, crypto isn’t moving unless people(brokers?) finally are actually attempting to use BTC as a hedge against the market dropping. Thats my uneducated, armchair analysis, feel free to correct me. 7500k is wildly generous, do you see any good reasons to believe them?

Gloriam_Insights

Everyone would push their own favorites, so there's no real answer to your question, it would just be a popularity contest. It really comes down to your own preferences. Though, what's your main reason for wanting to diversify? Are you trying to lower your exposure to volatility, or are you looking for something that could rally harder than BTC?

Suguha_chan

BTC in 2017 reached 19k. Going to 30k in 2026, 9 years later, would be extremly disapointing

Opethamenos

Make BTC a set % of your portfolio. For example 5%. As time goes by your portfolio grows and with it should the BTC holdings. In bull markets, BTC will go beyond your set percentage. It is up to you if you want to sell the excess to either rebalance or getting ready to buy again when it goes under your threshold percentage. I do not believe in the blind buy and hold practices.

New-Examination-6609

They will also do occasionally limited time offers. For example last Christmas they gave back 5% in BTC on everything. They did this for a few weeks.

VastPresence2412

LevelSevenWizard

I have 20+ screenshots over the past 10 or so weeks showing crytpo by market cap on daily charts have the \*exact\* same movement. Not similar or pretty close. You could lay them on top of each other and they'd be one line. few times is just the market being small with few choices. 20+ times....IDK it starts seeming odd. Especially now that most retail BTC investors have been scared away but will almost certainly come back to FOMO panic buy the second the news says BITCOIN ROCKETS TO THE MOOOOON Pretty obvious that massive accumuluation due to manipulation of price has been happening the past few weeks for every crypto in the top 10 of market cap. Even LINK daily chart has several times been identical to 3+ entirely unrelated currencies.

balaena7

in october 2025 it was very clear to me that BTC would pass $150k soon... anyone else? it looked bullish in a healthy way not in a hyped way back then... don't want to blame someone, just would like to learn: what went wrong? To me it doesn't really make sense...

LettuceSlay_1

The issue with Ledger isn't necessarily that your funds will disappear tomorrow, it's the closed source nature and their Recover feature that rubbed everyone the wrong way. If you’re planning on holding that 0.1 BTC for 10+ years, you want a device that is 100% open source and Bitcoin only. I’d suggest looking at a Blockstream Jade ,it’s much cheaper than a Coldcard but gives you that open-source security you're looking for

derbyfan1

I was talking to a guy a few months ago on this sub who was suggesting the price was going to tank. I cant remember to what, but tank nonetheless. I asked him, to substantiate his claim, 'Please tell me what the price of Btc will be in an hours time'. This guy took me to hell and back. He gave me every excuse under the sun, this guy literally told me everything except for one thing - The price of Btc will be in an hours time. I even offered im a tolerance of a few hundred $$. TLDR - If they know, ask them the price of BTC in an hour / 24 hours / week etc. This will usually shut them up. Hope this helps.

asimovs

It's not where it all started though not even close, it's a minor minor part of BTC that is pretty unknown. So unknown I hadn't even heard of it other than maybe In passing on this sub and I've been around here for over a decade.

Kevin_M93

I'm 100% more bullish on BTC than AMC. That's not saying much, but it's true.

Ok_Winter8503

That’s actually a fair criticism — a lot of tools do end up being opinion engines dressed as analysis. That’s specifically what I was trying to avoid. It doesn’t tell you what to buy or push you toward any coin — it just breaks down what you already have: • how concentrated you are • how much of your portfolio is effectively tied to BTC • whether adding more coins is actually changing your risk or just adding noise So instead of saying “buy X,” it shows: “your top position is 65% → your portfolio moves like one bet” or “these 6 coins are all highly correlated → not real diversification” From there it’s still your decision — it just makes the structure visible so you’re not guessing. If you’ve used other analyzers before, what did they get wrong in your opinion?

Ok_Winter8503

That’s a fair question — there’s definitely no “perfect” portfolio. What I’m basing it on isn’t some fixed model, it’s a few core things that tend to matter across most portfolios: • how concentrated your top positions are • how much of your portfolio is effectively tied to BTC movement • whether adding more coins actually reduces risk or just adds noise • and how your allocation lines up with your time horizon So when I say “fix,” I don’t mean optimize to perfection — I mean: If one coin is dominating your risk → that’s something to be aware of If 8 coins all move the same way → that’s not real diversification If your allocation doesn’t match your conviction → that’s where decisions get messy It’s less about a perfect standard and more about making the structure visible so you can make better decisions. That’s actually what I built the tool around — it just breaks all of that down instantly (allocation, concentration, portfolio health) so you’re not guessing.

Ok_Winter8503

You’re thinking about this the right way long-term, but there’s one big issue with your setup: Right now you’re not really building a diversified portfolio — you’re building tiers of the same exposure. A lot of those coins (SOL, LINK, ADA, XRP, etc.) are still heavily correlated with BTC, so even if you hold 8–10 assets, your portfolio can still move like one position. The bigger thing I’d focus on isn’t adding more coins, it’s: • what % BTC ends up being • how concentrated your top 2–3 positions are • whether your allocation actually changes your risk or just adds complexity For example: If BTC is still 50–70% of your portfolio, everything else is basically satellite risk. Also — holding until 2028 is fine, but that makes structure way more important than coin count, because small allocation mistakes compound over time. If you want to tighten this up, I’d actually look at your % allocation first before adding more coins. I’ve been building something around this (portfolio health, allocation, concentration risk), because most people don’t realize how their portfolio is actually structured until they break it down. If you want to run yours through it: 👉 https://www.cryptoclarityai.com/

LeaMalEhrlich

Ich finde neben BTC macht ETH und SOL als Zukauf Sinn. XRP und die restlichen Coins würde ich vom Anteil her klein halten und nur kaufen, wenn du wirklich überzeugt von denen bist und an deren Story glaubst. Ich würde mich insgesamt auf wenige Coins konzentrieren, z. B. mehr BTC/ETH und weniger Nebenpositionen.

powerform1

These are substantial amounts of each coin for sure. If I may ask, why wouldn't you just put all of that into BTC? What attracts you towards the others?

Famous-Ebb3041

Oh, I soooooo want it to drop that low! I want it to drop to $1! I would buy up every BTC I could afford! It can't go low enough... it can't go high enough...

Famous-Ebb3041

Work your way up to where you want to be! In 2021, I sometimes bought as little as 1/10,000th of 1 Bitcoin at a time. Often, 1/1000th of a Bitcoin. Week by week. Month by month. Here a little. There a little. My average basis is about $48,000, so unless it dips THAT low, I'm never getting out of profit. I'd LIKE to, but... I'm at where I'm at with 10% of 1 BTC (0.10BTC). And I'm good. But if you're on the high end (like now), when you started gathering, just buy while you're in the red. As much as you can afford to lose (not that you will, but it's wise advice, nevertheless) and just HODL it til the next cycle (2028/2029). Remember the rule, "Where it has BEEN, it can always get back TO.". Oh, and... "HODL til you waddle!" :-D

WellieWelli

It wouldn't be overnight, but I don't think it's a stretch. Blackrock recommends 1-2% on average but it doesn't control its clients portfolios. Morgan Stanley has 8 Trillion in client assets that are *actively under their control* and they recommend up to 4% to their own financial advisors with Morgan Stanley Global Investment Committee (GIC) advising clients to allocate a minimum of 2%. They will be allocating a certain percentage by default, advisors are all incentivesed to integrate their ETF into clients portfolios. They're essentially standardising BTC allocation in a way no other ETF is.

Going to keep stacking until all my Net-worth is BTC, weather you want to be in Crypto long term or trying to trade it always have BTC as your main bag.

SVPLAYZZ

in that case EVERYTHING is fucked, not just BTC

ubermensch1001

No, shit, dude, lol. The whole point is that this is the beginning stages of now states getting on the BTC train. Like with nation state governments, some will be ahead and others will lag but eventually they will on get on board or risk getting completely left behind. Not saying this is going to happen all this year, but it's going to happen a lot sooner and faster than many probably realize. This will all happen BEFORE the general masses become interested.

ExtremelyImpulsive

Should I take out a 50K loan at 20% and go all in on ETH and BTC? Others?

beangone666

This is a powerful message. Learn from the guy. Instead of selling now, keep dollar cost averaging in. I have been a BTC holder since 2020, so I have not been threw the 2017-2020 period, but I was holding .4btc when it crashed from 20k to like 6k. I am so glad that I never sold, and bought more every time the price hits certain certain milestone markers that I have marked to buy in. I like to look at the RSI, the moving average, Bollinger bands, Fibonacci retracement, MVRV Z-score to map cycle bottoms, Puell multiple is also good to see if miners are under stress which corresponds with market bottoms. Tracking whale activity always is important. I also love the fear and greed index. Train yourself to be completely un emotional when it comes to money. Try to think like a machine. look at global liquidity and the bitcoin halving cycle. stay lucid and buy when people are fearful and consider taking some profits when people are euphoric. The reason I LOVE crypto is the volatility. If you are a surfer you want huge waves, not calm waters. Remember that. SURF and make more money.

If anyone asks for the seed (the words you entered to acces the wallet) it's 1000000% a scam and you are going to lose all your BTC if you give this. Never ever for no reason tell these words to anyone. Also don't lose th paper. If you want to sell your BTC you must send it to an exchange (like coinbase etc), exchange it for FIAT and send the FIAT back to your bank account

EarningsPal

You are lucky that iOS downloaded wallet didn’t steal your BTC. Never just pick a wallet off of the App Store and give it your seed phrase. It could be a fake wallet. The wallet could have been purchased by new owners and modified to steal. You need to move the BTC to a hardware wallet with a new seed. A seed generated by the hardware wallet never exposed to any device that is connected to the internet. In the short term, you may want to send that BTC to an reputable exchange temporarily.

ChanceCash6708

There are lots off altcoins, the first months there are lots of money going to this projects. But after that the price drops like 80 à 90%. There is the last week some more inflow in the BTC ETF’S I think we have seen the bottom and we're going to go higher.

romeoboom

No idea if it’s the right way or not but I always try to stay under Strategy’s average BTC price

fan_of_hakiksexydays

I'm only trading futures at the moment. I have little bit of BTC, XLM, and XMR that I keep for use, not for investing or trading. I'll start accumulating in Q4 this year or when the price is below $50K. Whichever one comes first.

Dull_Effect_4618

if you want to just invest, I advise you stick to DCA. Every month, you stick to depositing an amount to crypto consistently no matter how much the price is. Avoid selling at a low and avoid being emotional about it when you see you're at a loss. Remember, you're not actually at a loss as long as you hold, it's only when you sell low that you'll lose the money. If you want to be totally safe and conservative-moderate appetite, you can go invest in $BTC and $ETH. You can also explore other altcoins such as $SOL. Don't really recommend diving further into memecoins since they're high risk high reward.

Idk. I don’t see institutional money letting go under 60k. BTC is mostly algorithmic trading. Options and future contracts really changed how BTC is traded.

MatthewMarkert

Sigh. None of these are serious answers. I suppose I shouldn't have expected more - pity. Correlation XRP:BTC is about k=0.84; I would expect temporal onset and duration delays, and amplitude variance. I expect BTC to lead the way ofc, and with bots sure it could happen at the same time in milliseconds in response to who knows.what, a presidential tweet or a fed reserve announcement or whatever, but the same relatively precise drop? That means the correlation AND the volatility have to precisely align....in every coin? That makes no sense to me. It seems like it's far more likely that Coinbase's display is what's correlated not the actual value, I was hoping someone might post a source from a raw data market to show that the source material is what's bad or would have the kind of answer Michael Saylor would give in terms of energy, liquidity sources, etc. A comment was made about using the same wrapped Bitcoin, that's a good example of something I don't understand and could have the foundation of an explanation that works here. Of course I'm also open to the idea of manipulation (obviously that's in play), my question wasn't if it was occurring but does anyone have the numbers on how much of liquidity would have to be tied into the actual exact same bot network basically that one trigger could result in control with this precision. It's the math that isn't mathing for me - this feels like Walter White tried to kill 15 people in 15 different prisons and we found out that they didn't happen inside the same 5 minutes with months of planning, they happened at precisely the exact same actual second in response to a surprise announcement. It's like yeah I know there was a coordinated effort and I know that there's a sinister force at play, but I didn't think it was physically possible for that to occur without some form of technological breakthrough I didn't know existed.

BTC follows a pretty clear trend. Some of you just have to stop with this cult like mentality and make some money. 66-74 is its current swing. It’s a real easy flip. MSTR is the tax friendly way to make it work. Once MSTR hits $139-140, short it. Depending your risk tolerance close the position when it hits $134-136. You all need to snap out of this emotional trap of holding

I don't particular too much on the price. In fact just last week I buy in 2k of BTC and later drop. I don't mind part and parcel.

BTC, ETH, LINK That's the golden trio. Then look at SOL, HYPE, HBAR. But the first three should be 95% of what you own. Stay away from XRP and the other shills pushing memecoins.

the billion dollar liquidation cascade is the real story here. BTC was overleveraged at 75k and just needed a catalyst. if you're running leveraged positions without automated stops you're basically volunteering to be exit liquidity for the next headline.

1. Open an account on a crypto exchange like Kraken and send 0.00001 BTC there from your wallet address. 3. Buy a little more on the exchange and send it to your wallet address.

MY main concern is that LocalBitcoins has shiut down since the last time I purchased, are there any viable alternatives for quick and easy BTC purchase that are as easy and non-intrusive to register for like LocalBitcoins was?
