BTC

Epileptic_Fridgeboy2

I think in the same way you should diversify your investments, you should also diversify your purchase strategy. Keep a steady DCA policy going, but also pragmatically ringfence a chunk of your BTC for selective buying/selling close to lows/highs (it doesn't even need to be precise at all). I prefer that approach, it's certainly made me a lot more money than just DCA'ing over the years. But I agree, for people who just want to relax and leave it alone, DCA'ing by itself will still work.

I want to invest in public L1 chains.... if we don't support them then we get CBDC hell. The blockchain/decentralized/Web3 future is bigger than just BTC. We CAN have full decentralization and ownership in a way that has never been possible before. Even things as "simple" as owning your actual email address.. or your social media profiles. Big tech won't have custodial ownership and control over all of your data.

Zealousideal_Rain_79

Unfortunately, we are unlikely to see an altcoin season in this cycle. Retail investors were negatively impacted by tariffs, and many who purchased coins in previous cycles and were scammed are now reluctant to engage with crypto. Additionally, the BTC cycle appears to have ended after dropping below the 50-week moving average.

justlukedotjs

Why? Set smart SLs, and buyback is there is a sell-off. You're trying to accumulate BTC... not FIAT.

justlukedotjs

You can wait, I guess.... the entire economic system is currently in the process of transitioning over to blockchain. If CBDCs do become the norm (God help us for starters...) you'll wish you had a bag of BTC if you currently dont.

JakRenden2

Only 10k? If BTC can go to 100k why can't XRP at least go to 50k?! /s

justlukedotjs

NFA, but yes. MACD hasn't dipped this low since the "crash" *between* the ATH peaks in the 2021 bull run. Also, RSI hasn't dipped this low into oversold since Feb in the lead up to the current ATH. This is currently a strong recoil effect from a massively oversold position. I bought in at 82k, my SLs are already above my buy-in, so I'm in free-money territory. Breaking and holding support >92k is going to be huge. BTC is in a good position. We're literally tracking with the macro uptrend perfectly. Dips on or below this trendline are all buys imo. https://preview.redd.it/sqv0kq29wt3g1.png?width=1454&format=png&auto=webp&s=70e125f03bfcdae53e8952b3add589c19d44207c

of course, but there are approximately 60 million millionaires. My hypothetical asks what would happen if they all wanted to purchase a full coin, since they would likely have the funds available to do so. There will never be 60 million BTC - so they each could not have one. Furthermore, much of the supply is owned already. Imagine what would happen to demand and therefore, the price.

mR_m1m3

>admit you have nothing constructive back to say but I did... after all, the fact that you mentioned Bitcoin implies they are somehow similar in terms of supply held by the creator of each, which they very much are not. and pretending that it's cool and not a threat to the coin's price is delusional. >jumped straight the BTC argument that I opened up at the start yeah, because it was, as you said, at the start. and I have ADHD, so I politely let you know that what you, I have no doubts, carefully constructed, I'm not reading and responding to all that, our points of view clearly differ and I respect that, after all - only time can tell, no reason to argue over digital coins, I did my research, you did yours, our verdicts are different, that's all, I don't need any lessons :) >Zip it! The crickets are telling. I meant nothing but respect until this far, but this kind of shit makes you look like pathetic internet macho, I'm too old for this shit >Fare well to you! and here we go back to (almost) nothing, but respect

stocksinya

Don’t sweat the dips. They make you a better investor. .com crash, GFC all fun times. Live through those and a 70% dip on BTC feels like a party! 10m is pretty high. I’d cut any estimate in half to get a more realistic estimate. BTC is gonna do what BTC is gonna do. No one can predict it.

Indi_Cat123

Just admit you have nothing constructive back to say because you are ill-informed. And jumped straight the BTC argument that I opened up at the start as an example. Zip it! The crickets are telling. > so let me summarize: I wish you nothing but luck with your investments, I truly do. but my opinion on XRP is negative, as simple as that! Fare well to you!

I think Peter Schiff can actuall do it 😂. But I also think that he likes BTC and just plays his role.

machinistnextdoor

The current block reward is 3.125 BTC. If you are mining as part of a pool you would get a small portion of that. That number is cut in half every four years.

Parad0xxxx

You are wrong. BTC can be updated and has been in the past. Most likely a hard fork is required for this. Everyone keeps their old coins which will become worthless after the hard fork and gets new coins which will be secure.

Colekaine

I thought I was a regarded 100% altcoiner, but this year I found a few $100 worth of BTC dust on an old exchange I forgot about. So now I can post in the BTC sub about how much of a financial genius I am.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin (BTC) maintained support at $90,000 during the US Thanksgiving holiday, avoiding selling pressure and reaching weekly highs near $92,000. Analysts suggest a potential rise to $100,000 if resistance at $93,000 is broken, with $97,000-$98,000 identified as a key liquidity zone. Market indicators, including taker cumulative volume delta (CVD), show signs of recovery, signaling a shift from a leveraged phase to longer-term capital inflow. Analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's ongoing bull cycle. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Colekaine

For me it's the ones that scream BTC is dead/too volatile/too boring/shitty investment when it has a 10-40% pullback. MF you just watched it go from 16k to 126k this cycle, what more do you want.

Jason_Bourne6023

“O” stop it your all Debbie Downers do any of you know what long term investing is - it’s certainly not the lottery.. BTC is just that - time is on your side - come 2027, 2028, 2029 you’ll wish you had more; keep you powered dry. —————————————— “””In finance, to "keep your powder dry" is an idiom meaning to hold onto cash or highly liquid assets and reserve them for future investment opportunities or to weather an economic downturn. It implies preparedness and strategic patience, rather than immediate action”””

110010010011

And if your electricity isn’t free or close to that, you’ll probably be at net zero or worse if you were to sell the mined BTC immediately.

AgnosticWaggs

I don't really think anything will change. BTC will mature but there will always be people searching for the new 100x

BeeCommon1798

I mean he got close. He's saying people aren't feeling BTC and when people aren't feeling crypto, prices tend to go down. 

kipha01

I decided to do SETI instead of mine BTC in 2009... I saw no value in BTC. I am a fucking idiot.

ContentFlagged

Like I said, still bullish. We haven't had a weekly close below 72.5k. Blow off BTC in March 2026. Liquidity is currently low and will be slow without a series of rate cuts and the money printers need to be turned on. Expect a BTC price of 150k-200k. Plenty of macro and micro support this. Delayed, not denied, gents.

Supreme-Muffinator

JPM are all clowns... tried to "warn" people that BTC is collapsing just so they themselves could buy more for a cheaper price... These guys should be sent to court for market manipulation

As long as there's casinos, sports betting, horse racing, whatever gambling - there will be shit coins and new crop of people chasing wild gains. BTC maxi is smart, but many more people are dumb.

purritolover69

Possibly. Everything is always uncertain with BTC, it’s somewhat more accurate to just say it will create volatility. That volatility though, since we already have sell pressure, is likely to cause a price stagnation or decline. In the shortest term, it will cause a downward spike just because money has to move around, but it’s likely that bump will influence price action for days or weeks

excelance

Used Grok to answer your question since I didn't want to type the entire thing out myself: Bitcoin mining in 2025 is basically solving complex math puzzles to validate transactions and earn newly minted BTC plus fees. You do this with specialized hardware called ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) that crunch the SHA-256 hash function nonstop. The network difficulty is extremely high, so solo mining with anything you can buy as an individual is effectively impossible—you’d win a block maybe once every few centuries. **What to buy (realistic home/retail level):** * A modern ASIC miner: Bitmain Antminer S21, S21 Pro, or MicroBT Whatsminer M60S series (200–350 TH/s, 3,500–6,000 W power draw). Expect to pay $2,000–$6,000 new, less on secondary market. * Cheap electricity (under 6–8¢/kWh) or you’ll lose money. Good cooling/ventilation (these things are loud and hot). * A decent power supply (PSU) if not included, and a mining-friendly wallet. **Pool or solo?** Always join a pool. Pools combine thousands of miners’ hash power and pay you tiny fractions of every block proportionally (e.g., Foundry USA, AntPool, F2Pool, ViaBTC). Solo mining today is like playing the lottery with one ticket while pools give you steady, small payouts (think salary vs. hoping to hit Powerball). Even with one S21, a good pool will pay you $5–20/day before electricity costs (at \~7¢/kWh you might break even or slightly profit, depending on BTC price). Bottom line: Unless you have access to very cheap power (<5¢/kWh) and can handle noise/heat, mining at home is usually not profitable in 2025. Most people buy Bitcoin directly instead.

Virtual-Metal9290

Today it is pretty simple. You buy a specialized computer that does nothing but mine Bitcoin. You plug it in to power (usually a dedicated double pole 240v supply) and internet. Then you login through the network using a different computer and input your BTC address that you want your money to flow to and configure a few other simple parameters. That's it. Small amounts of BTC will flow to your address on a regular basis.

The_Vibe_is_Eternal

The ETH/BTC chart is looking pretty juicy, as well as the TOTAL3. A classic move is for people to move into BTC, just for alt coins to start outperforming BTC. I really anticipate alt coins to outperform bitcoin for the next month or so.

Archophob

assume 1.3 million BTC still to be mined, and 11.7 million "not for sale" for various reasons, then 8 billion people would compete for 8 million BTC, allowing for an average purchase of 100k Satoshis (or one mBTC) if you got more than that, you'll at least be above average.

Post is by: ChillGuy383 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1p83q3v/people_are_borrowing_against_btc_instead_of_their/ I have been watching the lending numbers lately, and something interesting is happening. More people are borrowing against their BTC and ETH instead of tapping home equity, and honestly, it makes sense. Galaxy Research put crypto-backed loans at around $73.6B in Q3, which is the highest we have ever seen. That is not a DeFi side experiment anymore. That is a lot of people choosing liquidity without selling their stack. Meanwhile, traditional finance is doing its usual dance. JPMorgan spent the week pushing FUD around Bitcoin and MSTR, people started the whole #BoycottJPM thing, and then suddenly JPM wants to let clients borrow against BTC and ETH. The timing speaks for itself. What I found more useful was Galaxy’s breakdown of the actual lenders. The biggest players right now are Tether, Nexo, and Galaxy - basically the firms that survived 2022, tightened up their collateral rules, and kept things simple and fully backed. Comparing this to real-estate loans feels like two different eras. With crypto you get: \- Liquidity in minutes \- No capital-gains hit because you are not selling \- Global access without banks slowing you down. Sure, volatility matters and you need to keep your LTV sane, but the market today is way healthier than the last cycle. So I am curious: If you needed liquidity tomorrow, would you borrow against your house or your Bitcoin? Anyone here already doing this? How has it played out?  *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

50% BTC 30% ETH 20% SOL Once I understood the genius behind “Proof of History” I really fell in love with Solana.

ChainConcepts

I would advise to look at bitcoin halving cycles alongside the price in a chart. Never buy bulk at the peak of the bull. DCA is a strategy, but you can also use historical drawdowns as a guide. I bought in at the peak in 2017 and had to wait 4 years to see my money again. At that time I did not fully understand Bitcoin’s value proposition and the supply schedule. This is crucial if you want to be in BTC long term.

martinjarviz

After watching alts bleed for years while BTC holds its own, the maximalist path is tempting... but I've been burned by going all-in before. Maybe 80/20 BTC/alts this cycle?

AllCredits

They have debt and almost 1B in liabilities they need to pay out each year with all their complex instruments they’ve issued, so if the price is below NAV then they have to dilute which will anger shareholders and crash their stock more or they have to sell off assets ( BTC ) to cover which also crash the price, not saying I’m hoping for this to happen but it’s obvious that Wall Street is pouncing them

Easik

I took $16k and turned it into $106k... I now have $90k to buy the dip during the bear market. Do you even have an emergency fund for the recession that's coming to avoid having to sell your BTC for rent and food money?

IsItSafe2Speak

I think many people will become BTC msximalists because the emotional roller-coaster is too much. They probably bought high and panic sold when it dipped and are now watching the market slowly climb back up. Pain. To know your portfolio wont get rekt if the market has a correction or a huge dip is comforting if you're all in on BTC. Then there are the others who are addicted to the casino. They will pick the projects they believe in, wait for good entry prices, and hope for huge returns. We will see market sentiment , which projects have buzz because there will be new shiny projects to invest in and continue the degeneracy.

BlackDog990

The human brain is wired to hoard. We get loads of anxiety and fear when we perceive that we are "losing" something already in our possession. The volatility of BTC is very hard to handle for most, heck I don't like it myself. For the masses to adopt the roller coaster needs to smooth out.

devett27

If the theory on presidential elections and BTC price hold it should never go below $70k. However, none of the old thoughts or ideas are valid anymore as this is now an institutional investment. Halving cycles are out the window. There will be no bear market like in the past.

DarrinEagle

The entire world has about $30T of gold, and the U.S. $1T. I dont see the relevance of the market value. What I expect is that gold owners will begin to buy BTC instead of gold. They will bid up the value of BTC to the value of gold to where the total value of all BTC will equal the total value of all gold. That is roughly 10X from here. This does not require gold to go to zero or even decline. It just requires marginal demand to shift to BTC rather than gold. Recently, we have seen marginal demand from central banks shift from dollar-denominated bonds to gold, so such shifts in demand are quite plausible.

panthera_N

both bulls and bears said nothing when BTC stopped falling and froze temporarily, no one knows if it will fall harder next or continue to shoot to the moon, I was prepared for both cases

DarrinEagle

Again, this is not my prediction, and certainly not within a decade. But some commentators estimate the current value of all assets - stocks, bonds, real estate, BTC, gold, commodities - at $900T. They point out that a lot of these assets are held and valued not for their utility but rather as a store of value, because they are superior to things like fiat currencies and even some other hard assets that lose value as fiat is inflated. The argument is that over time people will value these other assets like real estate and fine art less and instead use BTC to store value. I think this is plausible because you are seeing more and more portfolios shun bonds. As people disinvest from other assets like real estate and fine art, they will bid up BTC. I think this is a plausible argument but one that will take multiple decades to play out.

I_buy_silver

I’m interested in the answer to this, too. I’ve sold BTC before using Coinbase. Worked okay, but not comfortable with them. Did anyone ever sell using Ledger Wallet? Can you transfer to a bank account?

SocialScope_0912

Instant BTC selling doesn’t have to be painful. Using a tool like MentTech to organize and track transactions keeps things secure, fast, and transparent without relying on messy centralized exchanges.

Suitable-Profit231

Who knows... however he did not make the right decision either way... He put 1700 × 0.08 = 136$ in and sold at 0.3 receiving 510$. That is a profit of 374$, not nothing but also not great in any way... So when he wrote that he could have at least afforded to buy for 136 again, which would have been ~17 BTC worth about 1.5 Million today... or maybe she would have sold it again at 80$ being 10x profit... The though error is here that his mistake was to sell at .3$, while it actually was to sell and then leave the game... could have kept 250 of the 510 and reinvested 260 of it and again and again along the way...

Look_Up_Here

No. This is wrong. I know many people with substantial assets and retirement accounts that do not touch BTC (today being Thanksgiving, I will see several that fit in that category). BTC is a risk asset and it is not right for people with less of a risk tolerance. And, as it has gained more main stream recognition, it has not performed as well (down 5% in the last year) as it is a harder sell. I know it is logical to say “zoom out”, but people considering new investment classes will look at recent performance - it’s just natural. I like BTC, but am also less risk adverse. BTC only makes up about 4%of my retirement funds.

No_Presentation1242

You think BTC will 100x in 15 years?

Otherwise_Rain431

Only if you sell... And selling my BTC? Lol

No_Investigator3369

As a long term holder 5+ years it's by far my best returning asset. One of our 401ks is only grayscale eventually converted to BTC and it is up something like 600% since day 1. Another one of my sep 401k's I started with a account I run and bount ibit pretty low )I think around $40k). Last I looked it was about to round 300% gains. It's probably at high 200% right now in this dip. Once you get that conviction you just stop looking, toss it on some MFA cold storage and keep working and generating revenue and making DCA or big dip buys (the 2 I participate in)

jeremiahcp

The odds of Fed rate cuts are rising because the job market is clearly weakening. That’s good for a short-term bump in BTC, but it’s not exactly great news for long-term economic growth.

qzuc

first time I heard about the BTC was around 2015 when the sarkweb / Tor got kinda trendy that year I was confused what's BTC and who's controlling it etc.. which got me serious

Drorta

Can someone explain this to me: why isn't MS Valuation just the NAV of the BTC they hold? Do they add any value to the BTC they buy? With this price drop in their stock price, is it still trading at a premium over there NAV?

BTC is the new home ownership. Those of us that have been stacking vigilantly are going to be heavily rewarded regardless of what the market does. We will have the same options and leverage that home owners used to have, and in spades with more flexibility and liquidity.

$1.5M price target for BTC is wild. Imagine the amount of millionaire/billionaire there will be if that really happens. lol

TheRealTheory001

It's incredibly accurate for many many things. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it untrue. Divergences, EMA's, RSI, Wedges, etc are invaluable for trading. Fib's for price targets. If you're not aware of that, you are in the dark. All asset prices follow EMA's 12 & 26, very often. Just go to BTC chart right now and look at the 15 minute chart 12 ema and 26 ema. If you don't see the

alts are getting pushed down while BTC is slowly rising, this is a trap. BTC dump was clearly top, this is now a trap slow rise with sold alts money. In bull season both alts and btc rise.

Huge gains in a short time usually mean it’s smart to slow down a bit. A common move is to secure some profit and move part into something more stable like BTC, instead of letting it all ride on one memecoin. Trying to time the perfect dip is a stress sport even for pros, so scaling out gradually tends to beat going all-in or all-out. Basically: protect the win first, then let the rest keep playing.

All valid points! I plan to look into stocks in the future, after I've reached my BTC goal. We're probably in very different phases of our Bitcoin journeys, but i have a feeling that you may become more of a maxi as time goes by. That's been my case. i used to think like you when BTC was 15k, and i regret it bitterly. But yes, balance as well. Good luck!!!

You won't ask the question when BTC is up 30% from it's ATH because you want to feel validated in your negative beliefs. I'm buying forever.

febio1

I invest a lot in stocks, btc and others. However we also need to live our life. I will never not buy anything just because I could put it in BTC. Balance mate

Silk Road, had to learn how to buy BTC so I could go shopping on the dark web. Then you start to think, hold on a moment, what actually is this internet money. Then you get that lightbulb moment, and buy more, because you just don’t know what it’s going to turn into.

MSTR was simply a BTC ETF before ETFs were legal

RealityGrand3745

So there is no hope in my current portfolio Iam planning to add fund in BTC in coming months and reduce alt coins slowly

Cut them all and put into BTC. You'll sleep better at night and have the highest chance of having backed a winner. Once you're on the btc train, you don't get off.

Given that MSTR's price movement is amplified by BTC's fluctuations and that BTC trades 24/7 while MSTR is limited to US market hours, it raises an interesting question. With US markets closed for four days and BTC experiencing a significant upward surge, what would it mean for MSTR short sellers if the markets reopen on Monday—especially if BTC surpasses $95,000 or even $100,000? While it may not have immediate ramifications, it could certainly be amusing if MSTR forced shorts to cover their positions by buying in large quantities.

1 BTC can be purchased in fractions so it is not accessible to only 21 million people.

I prefer being the top of my BTC

Hairy-Secretary2218

It’s no coincidence that MSTR is down while BTC is down and sentiment is in the gutter - if BTC hits $150k he will be the belle of the ball again

> Whether or not someone holds 10% of the entire supply has nothing to do with whether or not bitcoin becomes the number one asset in the world. You might actually be an idiot since you cant read. At no point did I say Saylors buying is going to cause BTC to become the number 1 asset, dingus.

There's an argument that MSTR is ONLY a BTC treasury, so what point does it serve beyond something like IBIT? If they want a valuation above their BTC holdings they need to offer some purpose, like being a liquidity provider, or some crypto tech stack or something. Saylor seems totally uninterested in doing that though.

MrMBTC

I guess thats up to the eyes that sees, like with most things 🤷‍♂️ my thoughts was that when I started, i didnt think that much about what BTC can do - besides give me money. NOW i think more about what bitcoin can do for us in the future 🤷‍♂️

ADottore8533

Work and meanwhile try to learn about BTC and accumulate the Satoshis you can regardless of the amount.

DistributionOk2111

Dude dont get it twisted, krypto are scam projects to make the developers rich, BTC is a decentralized project to keep the people who believe in it rich I learned it the hard way back in 2021 aswell

Difficulty refers to how hard it is for miners to find a valid hash (i.e. a proof-of-work) for the next block. The time cost to find that hash must be *below* a target value - the lower that target, the harder it is to find such a hash. So **increasing difficulty = lowering the target threshold**, meaning miners must try more hashes on average before finding one that qualifies. --- Why it's needed Miners can join or leave at any time so without an adjustment, the system's timing and issuance schedule would drift. If more miners join (hashrate ↑), blocks would be found faster than every 10 minutes. If miners leave (hashrate ↓), blocks would be found slower. --- How it works Every **2,016 blocks** every node on the Bitcoin network recalculates the difficulty. It compares: ``` Actual time to mine last 2016 blocks vs Expected time (2016 × 10 minutes) ``` Then it adjusts difficulty proportionally: ``` New Difficulty = Old Difficulty × (Actual Time / Expected Time) ``` Constraints: * 75% change cap - the adjustment cannot increase or decrease more than **4×** or **¼×** in a single step eg Suppose miners get faster and mine 2016 blocks in **10 days** instead of 14 days. Actual time = 10 days Expected time = 14 days Adjustment factor = 10 / 14 ≈ 0.714 The network *increases* difficulty by 1 / 0.714 ≈ **1.4× harder**, so future blocks again average ~10 minutes. --- Economic and technical implications * Keeps **block issuance steady**, preserving the inflation schedule (21M BTC cap). * Makes the system **self-stabilizing**: more hashpower = harder; less hashpower = easier. * Prevents runaway block creation during mining booms. * Prevents block creation supply dips during mining droughts. * Predictability of rewards over time.

BTC Cash isn't a bad option either and offers real utility. I like the idea too. However, the design where all transaction traffic passes through a single blockchain isn't the best approach in my opinion. I prefer the BlockLattice design, where each user can manage their own blockchain (where blocks contain only a single transaction). Here, you don't have the limitations of time or block size. No leader selector is needed. Thousands of transactions can be executed in parallel and asynchronously. Not depending on mining and other intermediaries seems like a great advantage to me. I don't know what you mean about was never sound. Nano has been around for over 10 years and is quite robust . It offers one of the best user experiences. For microtransactions is perfect too.

>> Also, I think you may be confusing Saylor's stack with Strategy's. Saylor owns ~17K bitcoins. Strategy holds ~650K bitcoins. > who do you think controls the decisions of Strategy, dingus? You wrote: > When BTC becomes the number 1 asset in the world and the currency of the world, Michael Saylor will be holding 10% of the entire supply. 1) Whether or not someone holds 10% of the entire supply has nothing to do with whether or not bitcoin becomes the number one asset in the world. I note that you do not respond to this point. Your statement is nonsensical. 2) Strategy's coins are not "held by Saylor". Ownership of those coins is distributed across Strategy's stakeholders. You are struggling with some basic facts.

2 day old Reddit account, with 2 comments both attacking BTC, begone fud bot, you have no power here

Do your job. Pay bills on time. Don't waste money on things you WANT. Buy things you really, really NEED. Put rest in BTC. It doesn't even have to be every month, or same amount always. Depending on the situation. Long term, DCA wins. Good luck in stacking sats.

And? Since 2017- I’m 70% BTC, 20% ETH, 10% Everything else… Things are great. Your shill bags are lame. 😒
