BTC

After almost 7 years in crypto, i learn the hard way that anything more than ETH & BTC is gambling.. That being said, I hold a little bit of Solana, Cardano, and Algorand, only successful alt buy was Solana at 8$ Cheers

12 different wallets, all of these are for different coin staking, one Ledger, which I wish I'd never bought,one CEX, which has several low $Value coins, and all my coins in a favourite list. For the most part, I just check the favourite list, and make decisions from there. And, of course I track all my Crypto ETF's in two portfolios, one tax free so far, and the other where I utilise for daily living. Essentially, I can look at BTC price and know where everything generally is, occasionally I get surprised though 😉 So, the easy answer to your question is, no,i have zero issues managing my various portfolios. But, I do this as a full time.e business!!

Super weird story, please finish reading, it is too absurd and specific to be a scam: I saw a post where you suspected funds in an old Blockchain.info wallet, but there were none when logging in. I had a similar issue with an account I knew contained BTC, that didn't show them anymore. After 9 months of messaging with their support I actually recovered the funds myself, because their web interface is simply broken. That original thread is locked, though, so I can’t reply. I also can't DM you. So I searched for one of your most recent posts, which is this one. Main thing is: If there are funds that can be recovered, *there’s a quick and safe way to check using Blockchain.com itself (I’m not involved, don’t send me anything, no script to be run!)*, as described in a subparagraph here: https://github.com/serendipitouslyprosperous/blockchain-legacy-wallet-recovery Reply or DM if you have any questions - I will NEVER ask for any keys, files, seeds, scripts to be run, or anything else. I’m currently just trying to find people with a similar issue to help them solving this themselves, as well.

Constructive input, Edge Lord. People get scammed all the time through their traditional bank accounts. When the majority of headlines claim that accounts were "hacked", it's just a more dramatic & fear mongering way of saying that some noob got tricked into handing over their passphrase or private address. It's almost impossible to penetrate a wallet through brute force alone, and unlike traditional bank accounts, they don't require thousands of employees or overhead for brick and mortar locations in order to operate. It's exponentially more difficult to crack a crypto wallet. Trying to crack a BTC wallet would require spending more money on the electricity powering the hacking device than you'd ever gain from succeeding. It would actually require more energy than we have in our entire solar system. As long as humanity exists, social engineering will always be problem. Blockchain won't eliminate it, but to act like it's not vastly superior is just a low information/intelligence point of view. If you're a total moron or don't care to learn about it, then stick to your traditional bank with their earlier withdrawal penalties & ridiculous overdraft fees. If you don't mind sacrificing FDIC protection just to get central banks and governments out of your transactions, then make the switch. There are plenty of centralized crypto exchanges that function similar to traditional banks, but they also have DeFi platforms that puts governance in the hands of the people - like it damn well should be. Want easier, more seamless access? Keep your money in a custodial wallet on centralized exchange. Want to go rogue & keep your money in an air-gapped, non-custodial cold wallet? You can do that too. Blockchain is for sure the future. Fewer employees, less overhead, user governance, higher security...amongst other things. It's definitely not perfect by any means, but it's still better than anything else before it. Have more of an open mind about it. You sound like the fox who'd rather claim that the hard-to-reach grapes are probably gross rather than admit he can't jump high enough to taste them.

KateR_H0l1day

I've lots of Alt's and a couple of memes coins, very small amount of ETH just for fees! Plenty of BTC & it's derivatives, MSTR/ASST/STRC/SATA/MSTY/BTCI/XXI/MTPLF/GNS. But that's just me. 🙄

JakobBowser

I agree eth and sol are probably the only two projects in crypto that have potential, but they are dependent on BTC continuing to go up over time. Im comfortable with my level of research but thanks, just trying to help OP not get scammed with the 99% of garbage that is crypto

Victorio_01

I hold BTC, PEARL and USELESS. BTC because … PEARL because despite the hate, AI seems to be here to stay. And USELESS because I believe it really represents what memes coins r. Just my opinion btw.

Reach_Beyond

100% OP bought BTC

lenissius14

Yeah, not saying it should go down always, I'm talking more about longer boring consolidation phases when in a clearly bear market or crash (the ones you know are not going to allow the asset to reach it's ATH in a "long" time whether is BTC or a stock)

KateR_H0l1day

And we never had a High before the Halving, but we did this cycle, plus we never had ETF's before this cycle but now we do! Therefore, it's difficult for me to believe it's acting exactly the same as the previous cycles to this one 🙄 But, it's certainly going through the same cycle pattern, but just not exactly like before. However, I'm definitely not saying it won't go down again! Plus, the US administration is having a huge affect on the, which they've never had to this effect before. Additionally, we've never had a new player in the market place that soaks up capital like AI does. Last time anything effected the markets that much was Crypto itself!! Therefore, there's an awful lot of things that are pulling and shoving the cycle one way or another 😉 I'd be quite shocked if the cycle played out exactly the same as the early three cycles. And I haven't even mentioned the advent of BTC-TC's and their effects 🙄

iGenie

I bought some BTC, so the price dropped. Sorry.

Febos

A lot of people learned or bought BTC because of gaming. There was a big exchange made for gold from World of Warcraft game. I heard about it from Second life. Wasting my years there actually made a positive life change.

Designer-Beginning16

You missed the bottom? Sidelined? Not enough BTC? Buying back higher?

Salsatime117

Ya for me that’s why I keep it simple. Tax tracking in the US for crypto can be very annoying to be honest. So I stick to the big boys like BTC and ETH as low effort solid investments. For the “lottery ticket” higher potential gains, I stick with SPX6900. The whole basis behind this coin is to just buy and hold. DCA. Stop trading and just believe in something. I just see time and time again, trading memes and rotating alts not only will result in failure for 95% of people, but it creates sticky tax situations that become hard to navigate. Buying an asset and holding is what I’ve found to be the most successful strategy over all these years of doing it. Ya it’s not quick gains but it’s more rewarding in the end and more fruitful. Hope that helps!

Aromatic_Dig_5631

My 2 year old son got 7k of BTC too. It was 5.5k when I bought at 63k a couple of months ago. My plan is to sell at 180k$ for a 3x. Will repeat this every 4 years if BTC still exists and the pattern stays this simple. So it should be 15k this cycle. 45k next when he is 6years old. 135k when he is 10. 400k when he is 14. 1.2Million when he is 18. Then I will kick his ass out and tell him to go and buy his own appartment.

derondigital

Wrong, there are actually crypto with Utility. BTC is the king, don't get me wrong. But trust me, if you decide to get deep into crypto, you will realize there is actually more to it. SOL is great, ETH is great. Just to name two, these tokens has utility and DApps on their blockchain that allows you to make greater investments and receive way better yields than a bank with stable coins such as USDC. You got to do some more research but yes, I love BTC and it's great for investing.

Salsatime117

I hold blue chips like BTC AND ETH, and the rest in SPX6900. Just everything about the tokenomics, community, holder stats, lack of insiders and KOLs resonated. The mission as well. SPX6900 feels like early BTC to me and I’ve been around in crypto since 2013. I never tell people what to buy. You should come to your own conclusions. But something to look in to if interested!

Maximum_Mastodon_960

Cypriot bank crisis when I was like 17 made me buy BTC and LTC for the first time. Made sense to me as the future of money. I'd say it makes less and less sense as time goes on.

Fix_The_Money

That non-kyc BTC might be worth a lot some day...

Androoboodro

“About **1.6 million BTC** were mined by the end of 2009 (Bitcoin launched January 3, 2009, with a 50 BTC reward per block).” “Worth noting though: “available to purchase” is a bit of a stretch for 2009 — there were no exchanges yet. The first known real-world bitcoin transaction pricing didn’t emerge until New Liberty Standard published the earliest exchange rates in October 2009, based purely on electricity cost of mining. Actual buying/selling was essentially peer-to-peer among a tiny group of early cryptography enthusiasts — the famous “10,000 BTC for two pizzas” purchase didn’t happen until May 2010.” Unless she had over 50% of all available BTC somehow, I’d say fake.

JakobBowser

BTC is investing, everything else is gambling

Vexom5

There is no brute force password algorithm for quantum computers, there is algorithms that will break the ciphers commonly used in TLS to send those passwords over the internet. However TLS is starting to be migrated to PQC. I have BTC and am a believer in crypto but the quantum risk is real and it’s harder to fix in a decentralized system then in a centralized one. We can fix it in time but we all need to start taking it seriously, and false info doesn’t help.

keralaindia

I own >1M BTC and it's entirely through IBIT and bitcoin ETFs. I'm the resident self custody hater. Doesn't serve me any purpose.

hodler1992

$7500 BTC $2500 SOL. Sell SOL at bull tops and hold BTC for 10-20 years.

Steel-Tempered

We've seen BTC go as high as $126K on 10/5/2025. It then dropped all the way to $57K on 6/30/2026. That's a $69K drop in 8 months. Then it climbed back up to $82K yesterday 9/3/2026. That's a $25K jump in 3 months. BTC is volatile. It also doesn't help that the current US government and leadership is batshit insane and doesn't seem to have any desire to stabilize the economy, so everything with investment right now is a gamble.

Appropriate_Ice_7507

I bought 75x leverage BTC 80k…margin call will be my most loyal caller

derondigital

i still don't get it, so the trust wallet you used was how you got scam. Because i stake my Solana from my cold wallet, and i've never lost any. You went wrong by not doing your own research. Also BTC cannot be stake, it's a proof of work network which mean it can only be mined. Not of proof of stake network.

CaptainK718

Well, if BTC goes to about $160,000 (2x) you’ll have made about $300. Minus 15% capital gains. So if all goes well, you could see yourself with a pretty sweet $255 in 2-3 years.

hodler1992

I believe we will see another 25% hike very soon and after that we won't see BTC below $70k again.

hodler1992

We will never see BTC below $70k mark my words

Davidoff90784

I still believe in it. Took BTC years to do what it did.

Hfksnfgitndskfjridnf

STRC is a senior obligation. There is 10 Billion of STRC outstanding. They have less BTC per share than they had prior to issuing any STRC at all. Last I checked 10 billion is more than 7.5 Billion, so I am correct. They have less BTC per share and more senior obligations than they had prior to STRC IPO.

Giuse_000

**BTC quando vede arrivare l’ordine di Saylor: 💀**

Roguecop

People trying to blame some economic indicator for this or other dumps are kidding themselves. The true answer one single whale (person or 'entity' dumping hundreds perhaps over a thousand of BTC on the market in less than a few seconds. These degenerate f\*\*ks make indicator trading extremely difficult as they shit all over support and resistant lines with these moves. This same sort of actitvity plagues SPCX as well, making me think the same billionaires are involved in both .

Cool-Bath874

Yup. Correct. And people saying “just another day”, yes of course it’s just another day where BTC will fluctuate a couple percent without anything more than intraday volatility, but there’s days like today where there is a genuine reason for an algorithmic selloff

Cool-Bath874

Oil futures applied a bit more to high beta stocks (semi’s and other high growth tech stocks) more than it does to crypto. This morning was a sudden DXY surge that led to BTC dropping my instantaneously. CL1! Is actually down -1.87% today

ATLienZ777

Just BTC doing BTC things

Terry_cheng

Appreciate you checking the terms yourself! Exactly—that 0.003 BTC (or equivalent token value) per day compounds so fast that it completely devours the entire balance before you even notice. It's daylight robbery disguised as an inactivity fee Notice how quiet they are? Not a single official word or defense. They know they can't justify this. Underneath all their 'legal and regulated' corporate branding, this is plain, daylight robber

AdrianRamirez0

Yes, absolutely getting a hardware wallet is mandatory if you treat BTC as your 401k. **Not your keys, not your coins.** Keeping your retirement savings on Cash App leaves you completely at the mercy of their terms of service algorithm.

0xrpl

$BTC just got flushed from $81.4k down to 79k. Reason: monster jobs report just dropped (+162k vs 53k expected) + $1.6B liquidations. Rate-hike fears back on. This is the classic shakeout. Dip buyers already loading. Rebound incoming.

Hfksnfgitndskfjridnf

Yes, they have 10 Billion in STRC and only 6 billion in cash + 1.5 debt retired. So they have more senior obligations now and less BTC per share than before launching STRC. Thats what happens when you issue STRC to buy BTC at 80k and then dilute at 60k to build a cash reserve. It’s also why using their new mNAV doesn’t tell you the whole story, its not really accretive just because it’s above 1. Since senior claims stay fixed in dollar terms, when Bitcoin tanks, MSTR tanks more yet mNAV can stay the same. And it’s pretty obvious that issuing shares when MSTR has tanked more than BTC is worse than if they issued shares when MSTR has gone up more than BTC even if both are at the same mNAV. This is another reason why STRC is a bad product for MSTR shareholders. It’s more likely to be at par when BTC is up big so they are basically buying the top every time. But they have to pay the dividend every 2 weeks regardless, even when BTC is down. It structurally makes them a top buyer and bottom seller. If they have to pay 12% and keep 2-3 years of cash reserve it can still be a net negative for shareholders even if BTC compounds 30% a year over the long term because the volatility eats away at that spread difference.

Ok-Leather3937

Yeah, PayPal is fine for buying BTC, but it gets clunky when you actually need to move crypto outside their ecosystem for business payments. We ended up looking at Inxy for the gateway side because it supports external-wallet payouts, hosted checkout, and USDT/USDC with the KYC/AML stuff built in rather than trying to force a consumer wallet into a payment stack.

UroborosJose

Sure good luck with that day The day you go in a grocery store and see prices in BTC not euros or dollars You pull your wallet The guy accept a transfer directly in satoshis not passing by Mastercard that day you guys had won Meanwhile I’m not a believer because nobody is accepting as a currency!

FreshPitch6026

BTC actually makes the world a better place lol.

KrazyKreutz

let me ask u a question: If it had went up to 85k would you have sold there?, if not then just relax and wait? because then there really is no difference in 79k and 85k, aside from the psycologic difference. If you planned to hold for a decent amount of time, it really don't matter. 82k is probably a pretty nice price for a BTC in 1-2 years.. Just my guess.

CannonBurt

**Imagine a future where only 0.011 BTC exists in the entire world. Everything else loses 99.99999999% of its value, while your 0.01 BTC becomes the most valuable asset on the planet. That tiny piece of Bitcoin could make you the richest person on Earth.** **At that point, your hometown wouldn’t even need asphalt roads — they’d be paving streets with bricks instead.**

No-Masterpiece2246

BTC maximalists are the worst with this. They give you the sales pitch for BTC or regurgitate some Saylor nonsense, and if you push back or ask any questions, they'll tell you "have fun staying poor" or whatever.

Ambitious_Stock2571

BTC has a lot of potential I would hold if I could afford it I have some mining stocks that are in the toilet

DaSnitch

Where is the guy that sold BTC to buy SPCX ? (add Bogdanof meme)

Porcellanidae

Some guy named Crypto-Chris put it on Youtube with the title: " Bitcoin Meme | Saving Private Ryan | FREE $20 BTC see description"

Lavayo

My point stands too. BTC will always be traded by people that care about those short term factors. Even if this percentage shrinks to 0.1%, the total change in fiat will still increase. Hopefully.

xaviemb

My point still stands... roughly 5% of the network (suits) care about jobs numbers relative to Bitcoin, the same way they care about rotations into QQQ or bons)... but the illiquidity of Bitcoin means when that 5% sells (risk on/off mentality) the other 95% of the network just has to shake our heads because we know what is happening long term, and US jobs have nothing to do with exchange rate of Bitcoin/USD ... but Wall Street thinks it is everything, because they price things in USD (and not Bitcoin). To be clear... jobs reports numbers have absolutely 0 real impact on the actual value of Bitcoin... but people reacting to what the US might do because of job numbers in their manipulation of markets and rates... is what drives knee jerk reactions to these news events that materialize in the short term BTC price in USD ... it's just entertaining because nothing stop where this is going

gordonfr_

Not a popular opinion here, but within the range of reasonable standpoints. However, what will happen if BTC gets mass adopted for any reason? That is the dream here, nothing more, nothing less.

xaviemb

It's cute that jobs numbers have an impact on Bitcoin... because of how Wall Street knee jerk reacts to expected rate hike odds going up from 50% to 65% in the last hour. I'm looking forward to a future where these kinds of news events have 0 impact on Bitcoin, because it's a global network... not a risk on/off asset like some of Wall Street that cause these knee jerk reactions on like 5% of the BTC cause in the illiquidity.

AdrianRamirez0

Proof that conviction > capital. 0.01 BTC in a third-world country takes more discipline than 1 BTC in a tech hub.

EthanDavis63

When local systems and infrastructure fail you, Bitcoin gives you a store of value that no corrupt official can devalue or take away. This is what BTC was truly built for. Keep stacking at your own pace!

Fragrant-Bus-2228

Ive been messing around with Moon for questions like this lately. Basically giving it the rules and having it dig through the historical scenarios where the strategy wouldve triggered. The big thing Id want to know is how much upside you miss during periods where BTC never gives you that 40 to 60% drawdown.

cedarrapidsiaus

If you plan on holding through then yes. If it doesn't get a brutal 51% attack (which is counter productive to an attacker trying to make a lot of money on BTC) or quantum exposing everyone's keys based off of supply and demand alone and in relation to hyper inflating fiat its common sense. Keep in mind millions of BTC are lost and more and more get lost by the living or through more souls passing on that own it on the daily. Bitcoin could be 1 million per coin right now and still be 10 trillion dollars under the gold market cap. This is why BTC still has a lot of potential as a long term investment. In 14 years when gold is likely over 100 trillion Market Cap it would be unfathomably shocking if BTC is still the top digital store of value and under 1 million a coin. It really doesn't make sense for it to be within these same price ranges in 14 years. It'll either be dead, severely faulted and less valuable, or worth a bundle and extremely scarce being over 99.9% mined. Anything is possible but it makes by far the least sense for it to not be drastically different in price in 14 years simply based off its design in relation to the dollar.

Tall-Ad1293

You have more foresight and financial discipline than millions of people living in developed countries. 0.01 BTC is a solid foundation. Huge congratulations, keep going!

3003IES

Specific year-end targets are hard to take seriously. I’d pay more attention to liquidity, ETF flows, macro conditions and volatility than whether someone picked $120k exactly. For people who want to trade the volatility rather than hold spot BTC, CFDs are one route, although the leverage and financing terms make the risk profile quite different from simply owning bitcoin.

3003IES

Not touching spot right now but still trade the volatility on libertex with a spot BTC CFD, no overnight swap so holding through the chop doesnt bleed me on fees

Michael-Ryder

That’s a solid milestone. 0.01 BTC may not sound huge to everyone, but getting there takes consistency.

Old_Preparation8434

? I’d rather give up a few percent of upside to confirm that the trend has actually changed and then take a position with conviction. Blindly buying and hoping the BTC bottom is in is just gambling. This is exactly why most of these people don’t make money in the market — they’re gamblers, not professional traders. There’s still a very real possibility BTC goes back to $60k or even lower from here. Good luck with the markets. https://preview.redd.it/3avqvggfshnh1.jpeg?width=1289&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd464af602ae6e3ac7ee877ea1577dfd1b208392

Forded_Fiction24

Fair, but my point wasn't that Bitcoin is getting shut down, but rather that inflation as a policy tool keeps running regardless of bitcoin's existence alongside it. The two aren't mutually exclusive and governments can simultaneously not be able to stop Bitcoin and continue debasing the dollar as long as the economy is still largely run on Fiat. The government will hold on to its grip as long as they possibly can because it works for them and not us Just because adoption of BTC isn't being stopped doesn't mean it's displaced Fiat as the dominant system.....yet. Until that happens and I think we have a long time before we get there, inflation will persist and continued to be weaponized against the world and its own people to benefit the people that make the rules. The government is not voluntarily changing that system or encouraging Bitcoin adoption even if they can't stop it. The United States has last hoorah will last at least a decade, probably 2 if not a little longer I think. I wouldn't underestimate its grip on the world and it's ambition to defend the currency. Once they can't the nation crumples so it'll be defended with its last dying breath. Not happening soon

Low-Ad-705

Some people say that BTC bull markets look like bear markets and bear markets look like bull markets. I think it's what we could be seeing: the beginning of a shift back into a bull market that looks like a bear market.

DCA and HODL. Bought my first BTC end of 2020 and haven’t sold a satoshi since then

NamedBird

Eventually someone will appear with an ASIC or special software on overclocked CPU. Then they will control the entire chain as long as nobody can replicate that. It *does* stop excessive mining scaling, but in turn it stays vulnerable to new developments. Also, i am still not fully convinced that it cannot scale. Having more parallel attempts may still increase the chances that you find a result first. It's not as bad as BTC, but it's not nothing either.

BstardSun

Nice ! If I could only get my daughter to save in BTC or save anything at all I would be happy! I have a little more than 2x your amount, what kind of vacation do you think I could have with 2 people in your area or somewhere nice that you know near your slice of the planet? I have been wanting to visit El Salvador, I wonder how far and what fun I could have there with my stack? 3rd world can be better in many ways than the paved roads and corrupt leaders in my slice of the world, people have better mindsets I am positive of that for the most part.

Syrion1984

It's never too late while there is still BTC to acquire! What has really worked well for me is setting aside a percentage of money I have left at the end of the month and putting it towards BTC on the same month day (say the 26th of each month). That way you accumulate BTC at a steady rate at whatever the price is currently, averaging it out over time.

Scottex99

99% of Reddit are broke as fuck, the rest don’t know where the short term price of any crypto is going, nobody does You’re not “new to day trading” you’re a noob and if you try to trade you will lose money Buy and hold BTC, ETH, SOL with a small amount of money and then start trying to learn, watch YouTube, read Twitter, after 100 hours you might know something, you might not GL

fitzdagan9896

"I've been buying BTC since 2021, so I understand the mechanics of the cycles. When it dropped toward 60k, I reinvested little by little, knowing it could go lower but probably not below 50k. Now I'm going to sell in tranches to reinvest the profits during the next dip. My target for this cycle is around 160 170k for the top and i will probably start buying again around 70 80k after that top. Also im in crypto for the long term so its easy to manage.

Congrats - wondering if your country has a volatile currency/ big inflation and do you consider BTC a hedge against that?

Why is everyone acting like BTC is at $200k rn?

inioggy

Driving trading decisions purely based on daily spot accumulation can be brutal when the market is just chopping sideways like this. If you're just looking to scalp the volatility without overexposing your long-term spot portfolio, riding the price action through derivatives is usually less stressful. I've been testing out Libertex lately for short-term BTC plays specifically because they don't charge overnight swaps on it, which at least prevents your position from bleeding out while waiting for a breakout. It’s definitely not a substitute for actual cold-storage holdings, but it keeps your capital liquid if you're just trading the ranges.

Hefty_Mongoose691

Been watching BTC around the 50 week MA again and it’s got me thinking. This level seems to matter every single time we get into one of these big moves. On the way down it acted as a really important area and now we’re back above it. BTC is pushing up towards the 82–83k area now. So I’m wondering what everyone thinks… Are we actually seeing the start of a proper change in structure here, or is this just a really strong relief rally before we get another leg down? I’m still not convinced either way. For me the important bit now isn’t BTC pumping another few grand. I want to see what happens when it gets tested properly. Does the 50 week hold? Does 82–83k turn into support? And does the volume actually back the move up? Interested to hear what you guys are seeing because there are arguments for both sides at the moment.

ICantWatchYouDoThis

Yeah markets are tens of trillions of dollars and BTC is less than 3 so they can do the same %

tadnarosix

There is another way the people in charge of the hard fork could profit from it. Knowing that BLAKE2b was going to be the proof-of-work algorithm ahead of time would have enabled someone to buy a bunch of BLAKE2b ASIC's cheaply ahead of time. That would have enabled them to quickly mine, also known as "instamine", a bunch of lukecoins before most other people were able to buy BLAKE2b ASICs due to the very low mining difficulty that Luke launched his new altcoin with. Just look at how fast Lukecoin blocks have been getting mined. The Lukecoin chain is already longer than the Bitcoin chain. Whoever knew that BLAKE2b was going to be the PoW algo ahead of time could heave cheaply mined a bunch of lukecoins before most other people were able to get BLAKE2b ASICs and then they could later exchange those lukecoins for BTC with fools who believe that Lukecoin is "the real Bitcoin" and think they're getting a great deal. Luke chose multiple PoW algos as potential options for his new altcoin and he used a testnet4 block hash as the random beacon to pick which one to use. This was an interesting selection method considering that it's possible to manipulate this selection process by simply mining blocks with the right hash because mining a testnet4 block has a trivial cost. So Luke or somebody else could have forced a specific PoW algo to be chosen by just mining a testnet4 block with a specific last byte in the block hash. When Zcаѕh devs did something similar for a trusted setup, they used the block hash of a specific Bitcoin block in the future, and they specified that the block hash would in turn be re-hаshed 2⁴² times¹ to ensure that absolutely nobody could possibly pick the value in advance. Luke's faulty method of "randomly" selecting a proof-of-work algorithm leaves us with only two possibilities. Either Luke is incompetent or Luke's PoW algo selection process was a sham to enable Luke to pick a specific proof-of-work algorithm while making the selection appear random.

I'm sorry you fell for this, but crypto *per se* isn't the issue. If you stack sats in a cold wallet, and stake your ETH natively or with a decentralised staking protocol such as RocketPool, there's no way for you to be scammed or hacked. Not exactly sure what happened to you, but he must have gotten ahold of your seed phrase somehow. With ETH and similar chains, it's also possible to approve a malicious smart contract that can drain your funds without ever knowing your private keys. Also, Trust Wallet is not to be trusted. The best hot wallets are BlueWallet (for BTC) and MetaMask (for ETH/SOL).

I own 0.2 BTC and I am from Canada. 0.01 BTC is the beginning

Love it! Congratulations on owning 0.01 BTC and I'm certain in the near future you'll own even more! Like yourself I truly believe in BTC as well and make sure to acquire some on a regular basis!

0.003BTC .. PER DAY!!! wow..

Which basically means Strategy is an accelerator in a crash. i.e should BTC go down significantly, they will sell, thus contributing even more to the sell off.

for what it is worth: I used NeoxEX last night to dump BTCB2 for bitcoin successfully. (transferred BTCB2, sold for BT\_C and withdrew BTC to my wallet). worked fine, got 0.005 BTC per fork coin

Leverag your BTC as collateral and borrow some USDC…. Live a little and don’t sell any of your BTC… buy more… wyla…lol

Dead Internet + Shitcoins = Crypto Fear & Greed Index Please don’t post that metric every day, like it is in particular a good BTC metric. It’s not! If anything, check BTC chart weekly and monthly RSI instead.

Anonymity is probably not realistic starting out. Most centralized exchanges (which is where most beginners should start) require KYC, so your identity gets attached from day one. Even staying fully non-custodial, taxes will eventually link your identity to your holdings once you file. For building wealth, there are basically two ways: hold or trade. Holding means buying BTC and/or ETH and sitting on it for years, while trading is a real skill on its own, similar to day trading stocks, and it takes real time and losses to get good at. It's basically a full-time job, not a shortcut. And unlike other skills that can make you money, trading requires you to be emotionally resilient, the lack of which is how 90% of traders lose money. I would personally recommend you to start by learning how blockchains work, how BTC and ETH differ, and how wallets work (custodial vs non-custodial). Then slowly dip in with a small BTC buy and expand from there as you learn more. As your portfolio spreads across chains, platforms, and coins, having a portfolio tracker like DeBank or Chain Glance for DeFi tracking and Koinly or Bitcoin.Tax for the tax side will save you a lot of headache.

Just got an ad when BTC got back to 80k. Buy $10 worth on CashApp and they give you $20 worth in October. Seems like they think it's going to drop.

This is the natural course of things. I also dumped altcoins three years ago and went full BTC, best decision ever.

But the would do FIFO, so the BTC they are selling was bought low.

Nothing. Yields go up, the fed hikes rates. That’s it. A tale as old as the Fed itself. When yields come back down, you guessed it, the Fed lowers rates. There’s a lag of course, by several months, but that’s what happens. As far as BTC is concerned, it is not affected.

I don’t think the money flows evenly across crypto. If CLARITY passes, I’d expect the first institutional money to favour assets with the clearest regulatory status, deep liquidity and existing institutional infrastructure so Bitcoin first, then probably established large caps such as ETH and XRP. After that, the bigger long-term beneficiaries could actually be the infrastructure: regulated exchanges, custody, stablecoins, tokenisation and networks that institutions can realistically build on. Smaller DeFi and speculative alts may rally on sentiment, but regulatory clarity doesn’t suddenly make every token institutionally investable. So for me: BTC first → regulated large caps → institutional infrastructure/tokenisation → broader alt market later.

I'd watch why the 10 year is rising rather than just the number itself, since inflation, growth expectations, and fiscal concerns can have very different effects on BTC, which also spills into crypto platforms like gamdom.

Trying to mind trick people into thinking BTC will go to 130k.
