BTC

Bitcoin on the daily chart looks very normal and on the bottom, about to pump again Pain is alts which are still creating new lows against BTC. This pain has been going on for 3 years, no relief

Anantasesa

Halving occurred April 19. You're thinking of the BTC ETF.

LtColumbo69

It will probably have to come down to a more generational shift as the younger crowd come up and don't hate BTC on some deep emotional level. Most of the traditional finance 'wizards' failed to invest in BTC, poo pooing it all the way and they know deep down that they missed out the best gains of the last decade. This causes cognitive dissonance that gets justified by creating strawman arguments and mass stroking of each other on r/personalfinance As the next generation comes up, they will see the charts over time and should logically figure , why not allocate a small percentage? Without the emotionally charged hatred a lot of the salt crew have and buttcoiners. Then once they have a bit of skin in the game , maybe they will start learning about BTC and the history of money and then go further down the rabbit hole

Inspection_Only

Yes completely agree, am going to do the same. I can help you with getting rid of your BTC just send it to me and i will go through the hassle of selling it for USD and send you the proceeds

phaattiee

OP talking like they discovered BTC 3 months ago... Started stacking January 2018... All indicators are showing that we are on track for a new ATH later this year once the supply/demand from the halving has had time to accumulate... Wont be as much as before but will still be a lot anywhere from 1.5 - 3 X previous ATH... My man... most of us here would love to see 48k again, I put a pause on my DCA at about 40k but if it drops I'll be buying up wholesale... You're talking in the wrong sub mate... Everyone here will think you're just new to the gig you're not actually saying anything...

Pasukaru0

487.5 BTC mined per pay. The subsidy **already** is a fraction of the supply that's traded daily. The BTC/USD pair on kraken has a daily volume of 1.87k BTC. And that's only one pair on one exchange.

WailingWood

Didn't realizse you can do this in Aus. So all your super is now BTC? Can you use it to trade or does it have to stay in the SMSF?

seviay

No Tradfi-heavy sub is crypto- or even BTC-friendly…yet. Even r/fatfire gets a little snippy at anything “crypto”

iamexercised

It’s barely started. This drop should drop BTC to 50K and flush the ‘blue chip’ alts by 70-80% and the remaining alts 80-90%+

BossToneDude

It’s a matter of pricing perspective. Folks can price BTC in $, €, £, ¥, ETH, DOGE, SHIB, 🐄, 🌾, 🦆, whatever. It doesn’t matter. The distinction is - BTC is a store of value (SOV) as a commodity considered property. Very few other financial instruments are a SOV. Gold is the next best example. There are significantly different investment characteristics between BTC, Gold and $ if we narrow it to 3 well known instruments / assets. Over the long haul, to-date nearly everything priced in BTC is headed to zero at different rates, until proven otherwise (perhaps several halvings / epochs from now). There are arbitrage opportunities between a lot of different instruments / assets. That’s the basis for trade of instruments in the Forex market. Don’t get me wrong, there are opportunities to make more $s or 🦆s if that’s what someone is after, in light of BTC volatility. Or folks can avoid trading in and out because, with successive epochs, nearly everything else will continue going to zero given a long enough time horizon. NFA. DYOR.

FerdaStonks

No losses here. 1BTC=1BTC Price in fiat doesn’t matter much when you don’t plan on selling.

AbbreviationsNo6968

Or just stake BTC in GMX. 9 percent APR, sometimes more. If its not doing anything else, this is the safest way imo.

analogOnly

I'm sorry OP, your poor soul. I wish I could give you a bout of confidence but if your funds were on the "Coinbase Wallet" and not the exchange, you're shit out of luck. That's a lot of money you invested (75k) I noticed you are planning on maxing out your IRA contributions. May I suggest to DCA (Dollar Cost Average) any extra money you think you can spare from your teaching position. Start now, build towards that 2 BTC again.

soks86

A proper store of value also means people aren't forced to invest or lose their savings. Bitcoin protects everyone, not just folks with access to managed investments. DCA of BTC is almost as simple as a savings account but much more functionally useful over time.

bbiittccooiinn

I don't think any do. I set up a SMSF using esuperfund.com.au in middle of last year and converted everything into BTC and onto my cold wallet. Took less than 19 business days. Best decision I ever made, and now my DCA is my employer super contributions using Kraken via the ANZ account they created.

bbiittccooiinn

Right. The one that has been losing its value over time against BTC. A quick glance of your comments history shows you are telling people to buy TSLA ETFs and shit in BTC.

Rajking777

If you really buy 2 years ago your profit would be 3x + , Exactly 2 years ago BTC were trading around 16k in this period , Because of Halving hype it's reach ATH once again , what's your problem? 3x not enough for you

RealCheyemos

Absolutely… bought my first 3 BTC in 2013 @$150 each… didn’t want to cash out more of my shiny yellow rocks tho cause I was scured… Then in 2016 I thought $650 was way too expensive and I had kind of missed the boat (plus I didn’t have enough cash to buy a whole coin so I thought, “why bother…”)

GreenStretch

Not as good as 6.15 BTC.

ALiteralHamSandwich

I mean, what's the alternative? 1BTC = 15 microsoft?

wooly_torch

After the halving event, you must wait 6 months for the post-trial run to begin, which takes about 3 months. Once that has been established, you must wait another 3 months to prepare the run in proper time. Only then can the bull be released from its cage and sent sprinting for Valhalla, this takes - of course, another several years, but you will know it, comrades. When it comes, you will know - and the influencers will say I told you so, and when top is reached… another 100 years. They'll keep buying the top. Until BTC crashes hard. -99.9% decrease. Bulls get liquidated. And then in a couple thousand years, the next bull cycle begins. Trust me, bro.

PlayingRS

Because it now costs $77k a year to mine BTC. It will go to $100k and you're just a nocoin fudder. Next.

Jealous_Taro2468

Bitcoin should be compared to bitcoin not gold or anything. 1 BTC < 0.9 BTC.

CorneliusFudgem

Look up tether propping up BTC and origins of tether relative to bitcoins price. Big rabbit hole

G_DuBs

He sent USD to Coinbase, not BTC. They are probably just buying loads of something.

MyNi_Redux

BTC is 50%, 84% and and 121% in 3, 6 and 12 months, though it's down 12% over the last month. I'd say it's been quite a special year. Bull runs have pullbacks - that's healthy, allowing for consolidation so that the next leg up can begin again.

#Polygon Con-Arguments Below is a Polygon con-argument written by excalilbug. > Polygon is a side chain of Ethereum, a layer 2 solution. Solution to a high fees problem.

MyNi_Redux

There are likely two main reasons. First, to lock in profits. BTC has risen 50%, 84% and 120% in the last 3, 6 and 12 months, and is seemingly hitting a temporary ceiling. It would be irresponsible for anyone other than die hard hodl-ers to not pare positions a bit. (I don't mean this pejoratively - it's just what responsible risk management looks like.) Second, most of the current move was because of the ETF inflows. At times, these were 20x the daily supply. Folks who get in near the top based on momentum get twitchy when they see price struggling. We can see [large outflows](https://farside.co.uk/?p=997) happening now already.

Choice-Motor-6896

BTC tracks with the standard US stocks. When the markets go down, so does BTC

Huskan543

Lmao so he bought BTC legitimately and then trusted some weirdos to multiply his gains… yeah that sounds scammy asf… glad you didn’t get dragged in aswell haha

GreenStretch

How much BTC from Mt. Gox ever got back to the people that lost it? Are they selling any?

RebelliousRoomba

I have a similar story, where I heard about BTC and then pulled up the chart to see it was an all time high around $830. I didn’t buy because that seemed insanely expensive for some magic internet money that seemed like a scam at the time. Ultimately, we are all just working with the information we have at the time.

stephendexter99

My dad once told me “why would I waste $20” when I suggested he put even $20 into BTC cause everyone was talking about it. It was $0.06 at the time. I was in middle school. We’re still broke. Thanks dad

Simke11

My BTC average is 25.5k, so I haven’t bought it in a while. I have been buying some alts in the last 5-6 months, 10% of my crypto portfolio, and thats enough risk for me, especially when you look at piss poor performance of everything other than BTC.

TomentoShow

Is BTC loaned out like FIAT? Is the property loss potential due to any risk other than key loss or theft? Enough word games.

TheTreeOneFour

it has literally taken like 2.5-3 years to get back to your buy price if you bought tops. Look at a chart, no reason to argue it. 19k BTC top at the end of 2017/beginning go 2018 end of 2020/beginning of 2021 it was past 19k again. 69k at the end of 2021, back to 69k at march of 2024 less than 3 years.

KeepBitcoinFree_org

Into BTC? And pay hundreds of dollars of fees when trying to rush sell as the price continues to fall? Lol no thanks.

Murky-Science9030

Okay maybe 20x was an exaggeration, but BTC and ETH have generally been some of the lower-earning coins in the past several years. I think if you follow the actual narratives going on during each cycle then you can find coins that aren't too small-cap that can gain a lot more than BTC or ETH. For example: ETH being a natural extension to what BTC was doing in 2015, SOL being a natural alternative to ETH during this last year or two (vertical vs horizontal scaling), and even just looking at DeFi during the past few years. I am starting to think whoever can garner the real-world asset niche this time around may be the big winner during the next 12 months or so. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, though.

DeKOi47

...Okay, so we all need to just stop right now where we are with BTC, and let OP buy all that is currently available, and all that continues to be made until the end in 2140...let's go!

Chinese mainlanders are not allowed to participate in the ETF so.. just people in Hong Kong and globally than purchase the HK BTC ETF.

ImJustBME

BTC is sitting at 62K, Im sitting great.

fieldsofthecrypt

there is no such thing as "I missed the bus" with BTC. You can buy at any price, and you will never lose, unless you sell

fairchild7102

Awesome movie! This is worrying but so far all my BTC purchases are KYC'd! Have some swaps from Coinbase sent to cold storage, and DCA on Strike which is also KYC'd! Hopefully we can just keep plugging and stacking sats and not have to worry about this while in USA, the best country in the world! 🤡🤡🤡

No_Balls_No_Glory

BTC price is heading to half so what's the problem here?

fairchild7102

OP, I wish I even knew about BTC in 2017, maybe I could pay off my mortgage and do some house repairs/upgrades that I'm desperately in need of.

satsugene

I do, but I have idiot proof directions, a steel seed-word plate and cold wallet. If that fails, I have the name of a person that is a CPA who I know can do it, for a reasonable rate; and an allegation of fraud would be pretty damning for them professionally and my BTC is small potatoes if they really wanted to rip off their clients. I’m more worried about me dying and my survivors having items in estate purgatory. Fortunately a major brokerage has physical offices where a person can get help, versus say critical data with a cloud company who doesn’t even publish a phone number and doesn’t give two shits if you get locked out. Dealing with it is a pain, especially if the person you’re leaving them to isn’t your legal spouse/RDP.

bowdenta

Funny thing is he tweeted that 19 months ago when BTC was at 19k.

MyNi_Redux

>my conspiracy theory is the dollar is collapsing a lot faster than they expect. The daily **volume** of the Eurodollar market was $14T a few years ago. (I don't have today's numbers.) In comparison, BTC **market cap** is $1.3T, and that of stablecoins is about 160B. Thus, the entire market cap couldn't be used as collateral for a tenth of Eurodollar transactions. Crypto is not in the same galaxy as currency.

veegaz

BTC going to 60k? Maybe because it's weekend

thebeef111

I'm 100% BTC, just looking to move a small % of that to alts, specifically btc l2s, but if I'm doing a small alt bag, I still want it to be attached to the king, btc.

Mattya929

Does this mean they will sell BTC for cash to buy stock to use as collateral? Boosting the stock market and depressing BTC since holding it no longer matters for the ETF? Anyone else chime in on this?

MyNi_Redux

Sorry, you do not get to define terms to your benefit. If you care to be accurate, you can look into the [Sharpe ratio of BTC vs stocks](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1343495/bitcoin-sharpe-ratio/), for example.

printergumlight

Like bet on whose dad will win a fight OR bet on when the next big 35% BTC drop will be and the winner of that bet’s dad gets to beat up the loser’s dad (no fighting back)?

MyNi_Redux

It's up 4x after falling 75%, and is only up 5% from the previous peak. Whereas gold is up 32% in the same time period fairly monotonically. That is the literal embodiment of **volatile**. Again, I'm not saying one should replace BTC with gold - far from it. BTC is the speculative asset I make money on, while gold is what lets me sleep at night.

MyNi_Redux

Respectfully disagree. The most recent spate of volatility clearly showed that BTC is still a high beta speculative asset, and not a store of value. Which gold or TIPS continues to be. Maybe one day, it will be a stable store of value, but we are on there yet.

MyNi_Redux

I want insurance for my money for the same reason that I want home or car insurance - bad things can happen to us that are completely out of our control. I get the importance for some to hold their own BTC, but not having recourse is a risk they take. It's not a feature.

TheTreeOneFour

"Until BTC has similar backstops, your money is absolutely not safer in it than a bank." you can lose it easier, but if you dont lose it it wont lose all of its value in the next decade like the dollar will. So in that sense its much safer.

MyNi_Redux

You are confusing banks - this is the Republic First Bank, not to be confused with the First Republic Bank. >your money is absolutely not safer in a bank. This is not correct. [RFB is being bought out by Fulton Financials](https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/regulators-set-to-seize-troubled-philadelphia-bank-republic-first-f138401c), so there is no risk of any depositor funds being lost either. And with SVB and Signature, the govt backstopped all deposits anyway. Until BTC has similar backstops, your money is absolutely not safer in it than a bank.

TheTreeOneFour

do you want insurance for losing your money or do you want to be responsible enough to hold something that doesnt lose 99% of its value against BTC in 10 years.

If you look at the 6 month chart on BTC ..... things look pretty normal and positive for BTC. I don't think the whale is cashing out. We're still here and seeing good signs popping up daily. I'm betting Sunday night and thru the week we see FIREWORKS!! Good Luck and if I'm wrong so be it; I'm not going anywhere. BTC is my life blood and I'll never sell (maybe just a little) Cheers

LatinumGirlOnRisa

comedy that illustrates well why/how so many who are in a hurry have a fundamental misunderstanding about Bitcoin and what makes it different than any other coin & token asset. also why it's important to READ & pay attention to the details in educational articles & videos..and of course, the BTC whitepaper & the halving , tokenomics + healthy crypto safety & security practices. and to never rely on information in a forum BECAUSE though many get things right, far too many get it wrong, spreading misinformation or in some cases, deliberate. *MIS-*information. all should be studied well and *before* buying into Bitcoin. otherwise anyone not understanding it properly can lose funds due to a lack of knowledge & carelessness. Bitcoin is a once in a lifetime opportunity among many opportunities - some that might be good ones but they don't even come close to what Bitcoin offers, long term. and all good & decent human beings deserve a real chance to get out from under the albatross that is the DEBT BASED, centralized government fiat currency system that will never recover from the weight of its own disastrous & deliberate structuring: [The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/66499)

Simke11

For sure, but if we are to be honest market has been pretty underwhelming for most coins so far. Yes BTC ran, some narratives ran, but the rest of the coins feel like they are still in the bear market.

Time-Sudden_Tree

Yes you can; I pay for *everything* in BTC. All you need is a wallet or exchange that allows you to spend crypto using a debit card. Yes you're converting to fiat first, but you're effectively paying in BTC.

Electronic_Hat1624

You are buying the underlying asset. This is a cash management strategy while you are in the process of stacking or DCAing sats over time. The idea is you are storing your capital in a Whole Life policy first, before you distribute the capital into other assets like Bitcoin. You are going to buy BTC anyways. You will need liquidity forever. The Whole Life policy is just where you store your cash before you buy BTC. You'll be fighting inflation and rehypothecation on two fronts. Legally speaking, when you put cash into a regular bank like Chase, you are really giving them a loan on your cash(it's why they list your deposits as liabilities on their balance sheets), and they can legally prevent you from getting access to your cash. Whole Life contracts from Mutually owned insurance companies are full reserve, they by contract cannot rehypothecate funds. When you store your money there they are also legally obligated to provide access to your money, either through loans or full withdrawal, but you don't want to withdraw as you'll learn once you go down this rabbit hole. Any cash producing asset that you buy, whether it's a car, a house, stocks, or BTC can be funded through the policy. And you don't have to worry about the company going belly up or holding your funds like you would from a bank. People used Whole Life policies to get access to liquidity during the Great Depression when 4,000+ banks failed for example.

lordsamadhi

Never used it until you linked it... but that instantly looked like shit because the word "crypto" was blinding me from 20 different angles as soon as I entered the website. I find [BTCmap.org](http://BTCmap.org) to be far better. And after playing around with coin map just now, it looks like BTCmap has a lot more locations. You have to know how to use btcmap, though. Many of the locations don't really take Bitcoin. Have to look for the Lightning symbol lit up for the merchant. I'll play around with coin map. It's always good to have multiple tools. I love Oshi and use the merchants on there often: [https://www.oshi.tech/shop](https://www.oshi.tech/shop) And then I seek out local farmers, merchants, laborers, and entrepreneurs when I go to meetups or on the Orange Pill app. I've pretty much got all my food needs met with Bitcoin. Go to Peony Lane for wine: [https://www.peonylanewine.com](https://www.peonylanewine.com) Any of the regenerative ranches on Oshi. The trickiest part is finding a local farmer for produce who will take Bitcoin. Depends on where you live. I absolutely love what BTC Sessions is doing with his regular Bitcoin Markets where tons of merchants come together for a day with a booth and sell their goods for Bitcoin. But you have to live near Calgary to take advantage of that. Maybe we need to get this going in more cities.....

I like it DCA is free, and single buys are like 2.99% via ACH while the spread seems fair. Support is available if needed. You can on and off ramp with good basis tracking (even for transfers). They support lightning. There is also auto withdrawal that I haven’t used yet. All around good feature set from what seems to be a reliable company for long BTC investors.

The Spot BTC ETFs are just asset managers, BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark, etc are not buying BTC for themselves (even though they could) They are buying on behalf of investors and selling on behalf of investors, it's assets under management, not assets owned by the companies. On the flip side, an entity such as MicroStrategy (MSTR) does buy BTC for the entity to own.

For those who might be interested, Strike has just launched his European branch 2 days ago. I’ve installed the app yesterday. KYC quite simple and fast, just my adress country and ID. Fees are 1,29% under 1000€ monthly 1,09% 1000-5000 0,89% 5000-50 000 0,79% above 50k This is correct imho compared to the usual prices in Europe especially if you factor the absence of spread I’ve D/L the app and sent 50€ via instant SEPA: 0 fees (compared to Binance Global 0,5-1€ each transfer, Bitstack 1%+spread ,Kraken 0 fees) I can confirm no spread applies when converting € to BTC in my experience I’ve sent 40€ in sats on LN network from Strike to Phoenix: 0 fees Sent back those 40€ to Strike : 0,4% kept by Phœnix for any transaction Tried 2 more times: those 0,4% applied each time and sometimes Phoenix can go on chain for whatever reason and it hurts ! So at the moment i’m considering switching from Phœnix to Strike at least for small amounts

-Resident-One-

Not likely to occur this cycle. Also, overall adoption is up and the amount of new BTC produced gets reduced with each cycle. Even if demand stayed the exact same, there's still less new BTC available for purchase, increasing the price. Halvings also increase the cost to mine a BTC, and larger mining pools will just keep new BTC until the market price makes it profitable to sell. This can further decrease the available supply of new BTC even further. So yes, infinite growth (I.e. growth that exceeds natural inflation) isn't possible. However, we're at least another few cycles from the new ATH being just a few percentage points above the last one.

Wake up call: We are in the stage of BTC is a speculative asset to get more fiat money.
