BTC

Twodapex

I use STRIKE to store my BTC and use a credit card to buy everything and at the end of the month Stike converts my BTC to fiat and pays off my credit card bill....so basically everything

sheeeeeeeeei

That’s actually hilarious and true in real life. Every person you see that hasn’t invested in BTC yet,, next sucker. BTC will eat them like a sink’s garbage disposal grinding up a tomato, when BTC price reaches 420million69 .

>keeping it as savings Saving in Bitcoin is "using it" too. Anyway, here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm using Bitcoin almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.

Honestly, I don’t comment much but I found exactly where to put my comment. I’m not saying that’s not overkill, to buy a trezor over $50 worth of BTC. Had I bought 10-15 years ago, when I found out about BTC, I would have no regrets. I was too busy with grammar school to check the charts and there was no such thing as that back then anyway for quite a few years. Then I started asking Google how much Bitcoin is worth, every time I started a new job. I just couldnt keep one under my belt, and because I’m human I totally ignored investing and I spent on frivolous stupidity. I’ve watched BTC grow from obscure GPU mining rigs in Asia, I just never bought in. I would have only had less than $500 to play with in BTC, but having read the white papers the same moment I was introduced to BTC, and immediately wanting to invest in it as a tool to connect with my grandfather, I do regret not buying. However I still believe that with time, the priceof BTCwill change a lot. So this 60k to 90k jump is supposed to be nothing. All of this to say I have no BTC, but I love BTC, and I’m one of those people with no SATS (because I’m poor and just sold them a couple weeks ago to fund life) and it was less than $300 anyways. But I’m not sure if I’m a clown in the space just for having no BTC at all. Seems like you’re only cool if you have compounding gains in BTC. I mean, yeah that’s true but I’m jealous of myself version that did. But just be thankful you have time in the game, if you do. BTC is life BTC is love BTC is laugh

Wild_Opportunity6623

My BTC goes directly from purchase to my cold wallet.

AngryEyeSurgeon

As a Surgeon, I got a surgery paid for with BTC a couple of months ago. That’s the only real-world use of BTC I’ve seen first hand. Personally, I am just hodling and hope to sell some of it in a couple of years

caabiaahonda

Any difference BTC=BTC XDDD

Forded_Fiction24

They didn't. I exchanged back to USD, paid taxes, then paid the dealership.  I had cross shopped a Kia and Superior Kia in Orangeburg SC did accept BTC through a coinbase wallet to wallet transfer but after inquiring it wouldn't work well anyways. Due to titling, registration and lemon law requirements by paying in Bitcoin you would jeopardize your consumer protections because there wasn't anything set up at the state level at the time. So if anything was wrong with the car title or it became a lemon you'd be screwed so even if I had gone that route I wouldn't have paid directly in BTC. 

SenseiRaheem

Feels good when I read a post that is “I bought MARA” and I have no clue what MARA is because I learned to go solid BTC from previous runs.

Riflurk123

But if you never spend or use them to exchange into fiat at one point, then what exactly is the point of BTC for you? At one point you will have to do either to benefit from it

Forded_Fiction24

Yep and I sold at a pretty good time too back in April 16 2021 when BTC was $61k. Afterwards BTC trended down and it gave me the opportunity to buy back everything I sold for cheaper over the course of 2022 and I've been dollar cost averaging weekly ever since. So now I have more Bitcoin than I did before the car purchase, and debt clearing

deleted-_-alt

I buy everyday. Doesn’t matter if BTC is $0 or $1M I’ll be buying

deleted-_-alt

Uuugh dude I KNOW! I wouldn’t have bought a bigger house lol but I’d for sure have some more BTC

trip1travel

Thats a pretty interesting mix. Do you mostly donate directly in BTC or convert it first?

deleted-_-alt

The house is mine and BTC will always be there. The thing is, while others are paying back their BTC loan AND their mortgage I’ll be buying BTC like I have been for the past 10 years. Yall act like it’s not gonna be there next year with the capability of going up again for another 10 years

WeddingPKM

BTC is also gambling, just not for fun.

deleted-_-alt

No regrets. While others are paying their mortgage and paying back their BTC loan illegally just be buying BTC like I have the past 10 years. BTC will always be there and will always go up forever

devCheckingIn

ETFs +28,610 BTC for the week. Not bad.

deleted-_-alt

Can’t predict life! I got two kids who now have a house that’s paid off and I still have the capability to buy more BTC. It’s going up forever and will always be there. Houses are going up forever and will not always be there

deleted-_-alt

I’ve been holding for 10 years, while others are taking a loan out on their BTC to pay a mortgage they can’t afford I own the house out right and still have the capability to buy more BTC. Those who take a loan on their BTC have to buy back their own BTC while paying a mortgage. I just have to keep buying like I’ve been doing the last 10 years

trip1travel

Nice. Sounds like you got the best of both worlds paid off the debt and still kept a solid BTC position.

Forded_Fiction24

A 2022 Toyota Highlander Platinum AWD. It's no lambo by any means but it's no car payment on a $55k vehicle. No regrets whatsoever and i have plenty more BTC to hold for the long run

loc710

I recently just bought a house using BTC too but I wouldn’t say I used it, I sold for fiat and then used that

na7oul

For less than 10k BTC ?

Turbulent-Land-5664

How do you get a BTC debit card? Theres tons of places where I can get cash with USDT (or C) without any KYC.

loc710

I buy weed with it all the time, a lot of plugs will take BTC if you just ask. I also have used it as rent payments (when I was living with my brother), and any site that allows it especially if there is a discount for using it. I try to use mostly fiat when spending and BTC for saving but I think it’s fun using it ever so often

Turbulent-Land-5664

I took a hard look at this not so long ago and the interest is also paid in BTC - anyhow I decided I didnt like it much - I would prefer to take 4% of one coin for 25 years or something like that. I am excited about new and innovative prodicts and options for BTC monetizing and will keep my ear to the ground.

Turbulent-Land-5664

This conversation already breaks the first rule of BTC: Never tell anyone about your BTC.

Low_Explorer_2097

The idea that all this coins are unique is wrong. Nobody cares what utility a coin has. Its all FUD vs FOMO and all shitcoins react to BTC movement.

trip1travel

Travel is a real use case for me. Being able to spend BTC directly on flights and hotels instead of selling it first is useful enough.

RoyalMushroom6202

Not the same. I just sold a small amount of my stack in tax lots to only sell at a loss and I transferred that money to my checking. Tell me again that’s the same as people’s BTC that was stored on a Cold Card and now is in someone else’s stack.

trip1travel

Fair point. Is there anything you’d actually consider worth spending BTC on?

Ordinary-One2597

More or less technically its Fiat Purchase how it works is i keep BTC on there and then when I use the card it sells the BTC in that moment and converts it into Fiat but yeah works the same as any other bank card more or less

trip1travel

Does using a BTC debit card feel as convenient as paying with a regular card?

TheRadishBros

Why would I spend BTC when I could spend inferior fiat currency?

trip1travel

Interesting so Bitcoin is basically the only payment option for you there. Do you use BTC for anything else?

trip1travel

That makes sense. For you, Bitcoin is more about preserving value and financial independence than spending. Do you think that could change if BTC became more widely accepted for everyday payments?

New_Answer7917

Yeah mate get out of here with your “historical trends”.. historical trend is THE PAST.. where Bitcoin had much smalller volume and market cap so the price was much easier to move with a lot less money.. BTC is a much more mature, nearly trillion dollar asset now..

ConsistentDoors

I was a huge self custody advocate for a long time. I had a ledger and I get spammed to no end years later. The fact that some get kidnapped, although rare, is bullshit. I had a cold card mk4, I dice rolled, but it’s outright bullshit how many people lost all of their BTC. The complexities of ensuring redundancies are in place to protect your BTC is painful. The complexities of ensuring it passes on to loved ones if you die is rough. Shit isn’t worth it. I moved everything to ETFs. The tax burden in doing so sucked. If I die tomorrow, beneficiaries are cleanly taken care of. If the world economy collapses and shit gets bad, a fucking digital coin won’t mean shit. Knock yourselves out with self custody, it’s not for me anymore.

Ordinary-One2597

I keep some in a BTC Debit card that I just use it as my Coffee Budget

Ketchupcharger

Nothing. Bitcoin's value as it stands (at least for me) is the fact it cannot inflate, as opposed to fiat currencies. That's the value. Safe and cheap long term storage, ability to move the funds regardless of any jurisdiction. While BTC isn't increasing in market value as fast as I would have expected an innovation of this caliber should, its still not depreciating as fast as the USD. It also is not dependent on any governent or organisation, which as we know change direction often and unpredictably.

RiceMofo

I bought a car with BTC

JumpProfessional3372

Yeah self custody is not for anyone. But exchanges are also not good for big sums. I guess safest is having ETF shares tied to BTC price. But that cannot be spent directly like in self custody. And can also be blocked by the depository

no_choice99

I'm still patiently waiting for a sub 39k BTC. I ain't fomo into anything yet, I know the price will get floored soon enough.

PeteyPab305

lol I sent some BTC off exchange last night, and [mempool.space](http://mempool.space) had a warning saying "Warning: This address is part of the ongoing Coldcard key exposure event. If you have generated your seed on an affected Coldcard device, your funds are at risk. Migrate immediately." in my Kraken batch output.

crimeo

He's only up 2.6% total. S&P 500 is up like 500% or something in the same period of time, lmao. The more BTC the has, the WORSE he's doing, because that's that much more money that wasn't in index funds, and thus even more money lost versus the simple obvious brainless alternative.

EmuSea4963

ONLY buy BTC. Do not be tempted to put your money into other coins. They all end up being rugpulls and scams and most of the people in this community have fucked around with shit coins and lost money at some point. Learn from other people's mistakes - not your own. Additionally I'd say if you haven't already, you should first invest money in "boring" traditional markets. Buy a popular index fund. Don't jump into investing by throwing everything into BTC. Also - be prepared for a learning curve. Crypto can be absolutely stomach-churning when the market tanks. If you have 5k, you have to be prepared for that to drop to 2.5k or lower and NOT SELL (in fact, keep buying on the way down). I have always considered any money I put into crypto as 'burned', because there's a very real chance you can lose it all (and it really, really does not feel good when you do). Good luck on your journey mate - I have faith in bitcoin long-term.

icantgiveyou

Why does matter to you? If you believe in BTC future, you invest. If you don’t, you don’t. Spare yourself the mental gymnastics and decide once for all.

ObjectivePrimary7585

Its all over sell now. BTC is dead 🫶🏼

No_Community7021

I'm not long term holder, yet. I'm trying to trade up and down some years until I could potentially reach 1BTC to either cash out when I'm older or just pass it on.

Original-Assistant-8

Lol, I had shared that inverse Cramer call a few weeks ago. Unlike other holders of quantum coins, I don't think we need Qday panic, nor do I think it helps utilty coins if Bitcoin fails to navigate the quantum threat. I think it's best if BTC addresses this in an orderly fashion. The more people discuss now, the easier it is to gain consensus on tough decisions and hopefully make for a slow migration process. The common quantum response is "If it can crack wallets, we'll have bigger problems with other systems" That would be true, but thankfully there are upgrade solutions and standards, which are already being planned or implemented in critical systems. Regardless of what, when and how people think quantum threat will play out, the general consensus is the risk must be removed no matter how unlikely some believe it may be. And a wait and see approach is unacceptable. So now we have systems worldwide looking at how to migrate. Solutions that play in that space have guaranteed demand. Qanplatform is the only blockchain based tech I'm aware of offering innovation for this new market - enabling quantum-safe "designated survivor" keys to be used once Elliptic Curve Cryptography becomes obsolete in practice. That's not just "hey look we're adding quantum resistance". That's an actual solution to be prepared today, without disruption.

No_Community7021

For someone to sell there must be someone buying or exchanges just assume that rol? I mean, buying/selling is always available and even though I've been in BTC a few years I never quite dig too deep into the trading mechanism. I was always more interested in the blockchain technology and wallets and now I start to wonder more about the profitability of it. Yes, I'm and idealist who thinks blockchains are an awesome technology.

eiretaco

Do you beleive BTC will never, ever hit another ATH? I think its unreasonable to say it will never hit another ATH in our lifetimes. I dont particularly care if it's this bull run, or 2028/9 after the halving. Irrelevant. I've a nice stack of sats so im ready. You seem to be thinking short term. 150k is absolutely not unrealistic at some point. More likely than not imo. We just dont know when. If it's 4 months from now, great, if it's 3 years from now, we'll than thats fine as well. Who cares...

Why is January 3 symbolic for BTC?

tenor_tymir

*Guarantee* is a strong word in the BTC universe.

appeler213

Trading it with leverage , memecoins however with more risk than BTC 2x is a massive gain you are right I am wrong but for a lower capital 2x is not life changing maybe I just want a miracle, I did invest in CATECOIN which did more than a 2x in a matter of weeks

tenor_tymir

Invest more and you’ll make more. Maybe look into BTC related stocks like MSTR, they tend to move twice as much, then start looking into MSTU or MSTX which again leverage the movements of MSTR. You can amplify your “only 2x“ into the sky by choosing some of the leveraged products which I would not really recommend.

RecipeSelect5035

BTC holders are smiling right now😂

Jaded-Box-717

Always is a good moment for buying BTC… DCA!

Jaded-Box-717

This is the point, but it is very difficult to catch it when you see BTC rising 25%… Better now than at 150k, of course better at 60k than now.

Final-Bodybuilder576

The one I use is Bitsgap, although there are other programs. I just mentioned that because it's what I first came across and their customer service is excellent, you can ask them anything and they will give you very detailed answers. Helpful for if you're starting out and are looking to learn. Basically what you do is you set up a grid of buy levels and sell levels. You allocate your capital to it, ideally with your BTC/USD split however you want it to be split (it prevents the bot buying or selling at market prices to set up your grid). Then you tell it what you want for your grid step percentage (general rule is that the smaller the percentage of the grid step, the smaller the spaces between buy and sell levels, meaning you'll get more order fills but more of your profits are taken by fees, and the larger the percentage of the grid step, the larger the spaces between buy and sell levels, so while you won't get as many fills, you will lose less of it to fees). Then you set the number of buy and sell levels and start the bot. I would suggest backtesting the settings to see how they perform in different market conditions. Then, as the price rises it will sell the Bitcoin you placed at those levels at progressively higher and higher prices, and as it fills a sell order it will place a corresponding buy order for when the price drops near that area again, and as the price drops it will buy Bitcoin with the USD you placed at those levels at progressively lower and lower prices, and as it fills a buy order it will place a corresponding sell order for when the price rises near that area again. So you're essentially DCA'ing as the price drops and making profit off those buys as the price rises. Give it a try! Watch their tutorials, and make sure to backtest. Note that my personal setup is a .10% grid step percentage. It is the lowest grid step percentage you can set, and while it captures oscillations in the price of Bitcoin in the range of $69-$70, it is VERY fee-sensitive. This doesn't affect me because my maker fees on Coinbase are 0%. It's nice because the way grid trading works is it is placing resting limit orders, so a good 98% of your transactions are going to be maker orders. Whatever exchange you trade on, if you don't have 0% maker fees, .10% is not going to do anything for you but lose money, as the fees will be higher than the profit. I'd a good grid step percentage to start at would be .28%-.32%. The grid step percentage restricts your options for how you can set up the rest of the grid (and vice versa with the other parameters), so it makes the rest of the decisions easier. Also, there are preset options for complete beginners that don't want to fiddle with the parameters, but it definitely pays dividends to learn how to set the parameters yourself based on current market conditions. Give it a try!

There is only 1 coin rookie, and his name is BTC

mikitu

By priority stock I presume you mean preferred and by bond I presume you mean the convertible debt? He is paying off the convertible debt and said it is something they don't want to more. He financed billions of BTC purchased with STRC sales above par, and that's why their priority is not to get STRC to par again, that's how they will finance more BTC purchases and increase sats per share. So no bonds and no covered calls.

quintavious_danilo

You do you, pal. BTC can smash up but also down. We’ve seen it before.

It has lots of scammy stuff. Most of it is scammy, most of it is extractive. I totally understand all the arguments people have against crypto and most of them have some weight. Regardless, Blockchain is a very interesting technology and the total value of BTC is bigger than meta so there is something in that.

**Kraken doesn’t want to compete with banks anymore. It wants to become one.** That may be one of the most important shifts in crypto right now. **For years, the narrative was simple:** → Bitcoin replaces banks → Crypto bypasses banks → Exchanges are just gateways **But look at what Kraken is building:** Payments. Custody. Yield. Lending. Stocks. Tokenized assets. Cards. Institutional services. And now potentially… **full banking.** The real endgame may not be “crypto kills banks.” It may be: **crypto exchanges become the banks of the Internet.** That changes everything. Because the winning platform won’t just let you trade BTC. **It could eventually hold your cash, move your salary, manage your investments, lend against your portfolio, settle payments 24/7, and give you access to crypto and traditional assets from one interface.** The exchange becomes the bank. The bank becomes software. And Bitcoin still sits underneath it all as an asset you can withdraw and self-custody. That last part matters. The future may not be: **Be your own bank.** It may be: **Choose whether you want to be your own bank.** Crypto spent 17 years trying to escape banking. **Now it may be rebuilding banking from scratch.**

DrApricot

Preveen Perera did a very careful study which he posted on [x.com](http://x.com) entitled “Inside Wave 1”. He tried to mathematically reproduce the attack vector, and found 132 addresses he simply couldn’t explain. He said he knows of no other researchers who have successfully explained them either. Perera’s forensic data supports the idea that **the math of the public bug alone was** ***not*** **enough to account for the entire theft.** Sherlock Holmes would look at this exact data point and declare the case broken wide open. When the public software explanation leaves a massive, unexplained 132 BTC gap, whatever remains—the presence of an undisclosed data advantage—must be the truth. The attacker had an instruction manual the rest of the world couldn't see. The 153 unexplained addresses are the definitive, physical fingerprints of a supply-chain or data ledger compromise that the mainstream narrative has tried so hard to dismiss. If you have doubts, then may I suggest you read Perera’s x post.

Some reversion was inevitable after spiking so high. Let's see if this correction means than BTC will go downstairs even further or if it was just a temporary stuff.

DiamondHandsDarrell

The squeeze didn’t just come out of nowhere. Treasury moved to increase long bond buybacks, long yields eased, the dollar weakened, and BTC already had a couple days of ETF inflows behind it. That gave Bitcoin the initial push through the resistance area everyone had been shorting against. Once BTC broke through that level, the shorts started getting liquidated. When a short gets liquidated, the position has to buy BTC back, so that forced buying pushes the price higher, which liquidates more shorts, which creates even more buying. That’s how you end up with roughly $1.4B in shorts getting wiped out in a few hours and BTC basically going straight up. So the short squeeze was the accelerator, not necessarily the original cause. Now the important part is whether actual spot and ETF buyers keep buying after all that forced short covering fuel is gone. So far, they haven’t disappeared. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have now had five straight days of inflows, roughly $1.9B total, so there is real demand underneath the move and not just forced short covering. Next week is going to test that. Bessent speaks Monday with Iran sanctions and the Treasury bond intervention both in focus. Wednesday we get PCE inflation, the GDP revision and Nvidia earnings, then Jackson Hole and Warsh at the end of the week. Long yields are still extremely high and oil/Hormuz is still a mess. If BTC can keep holding while all of that gets thrown at it and ETF money keeps coming in, then this starts looking like something much bigger than a short squeeze.

BTC dominance isn’t an answer as to why you dummy

You’re right, it crashed. BTC is back at 62k and everything retraced their pumps. Get out while you can because it will not go any higher ever again in the short term foreseeable future.

Relative valuation plays a large part in pricing crypto assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative\_valuation. In the short term, if no new information is available, any coin is likely to maintain roughly the same relative value to another. E.g. if ETH is 20% the market cap of BTC and BTC goes up 5%, then probably ETH should go up 5% too. Algorithmic traders will arbitrage coins based on their own proprietary models of expected correlation — e.g. if an arb bot thinks one is under-valued and should return to its model of expected value, it'll buy the cheaper one and short the expensive one to capture the spread. Most coins have zero fundamentals, so you can't really value them based on something like a discounted cash flow model, that analysts might for companies. Relative valuation is used for stocks and other assets too though.

Stablecoin_news

Add market makers hedging in BTC and liquidation cascades hitting all pairs at once, and you get near-perfect correlation.👍

BargePol

BTC stayed within it's flagging range the whole time yet the whole market shat itself

External-Sand-9436

Welcome to the world of trading pairs. Your coins aren't just priced in dollars, they're priced against BTC on most exchanges. So when BTC takes a 5% nosedive, the bots and algos instantly rebalance everything to maintain the ratio. It's not people panic selling their ADA because they saw a red candle, it's automated market makers doing their thing. Think of BTC like the tide. All the boats rise and fall with it, even if some have holes and are slowly sinking in satoshi terms.

This is definitive evidence of an emerging recession. GDP growth declined by 0.6% between the first and second quarters, mirroring the pattern observed in 2025. A plot of U.S. GDP clearly shows a downward trend since its peak in early 2024. In addition, unprecedented heatwaves - the hottest year on record - have destroyed approximately \~20% of global agricultural output, profoundly impacting the meat industry and the entire food supply chain. The ongoing war in the Middle East is causing a severe energy and fuel crisis, disrupting logistics across all sectors. The U.S. economy is deeply interconnected with the global economy. Expect a rapid rise in food prices shortly, followed by increased fuel and energy costs this autumn and winter, higher unemployment rates, declining profits, rising interest rates, and a spike in bankruptcies. Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin - given its limited supply - are increasingly regarded as a safe haven for the wealthy amid signs of economic instability and geopolitical unrest. The recent price surge of BTC is not random or isolated. Gold used to serve as the primary safe haven, but in today’s digital, interconnected world, where gold is impractical, and the sharp increase in Bitcoin's price signals a warning of a declining economy. Global warming continues unabated, with even higher temperatures anticipated in the coming years, and no country’s agricultural infrastructure is prepared for it. Agriculture influences the entire global food sector. Look at the increase in global average temperatures since 1950-60 which shows that as temperatures rise, economic performance declines. It's simple math, and every country’s GDP will be negatively affected, including the United States. https://preview.redd.it/fe3oae2uxukh1.jpeg?width=1226&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72b8c85abfe8153b8d80ea06c404d41db8fd2739

I think it will. I would be more upset with myself if I buy to all the bullshit these pumps cunts are saying. Earlier this year I informed my on BTC and crypto in general more than I ever did before. If I don't stick to what I learned which was time that I originally sacrificed to better my understanding then I will lose myself mentally. It's like that test where you see a series of patterns and based one one shape, its size and color what is the next shape type of thing. These jackasses out hear want to pretend like there is no pattern that can be recognized. I need a W here dude and the way that will happen is if the coin drops to 40 or lower.
