Should've just stuck with BTC

IgotnoideawhatIsay

True that. I moved to AI in 2025 and I’m making significantly more than with BTC.

DBRiMatt

Honestly, the vibe here is worse than in 2022. And BTC has only just slipped to 88k... xD

DiligentGambler4

If I started with $1k today: * **60% BTC/ETH**, DCA * **25% top alts** to learn * **10% spec plays max** * **5% cash** Use a major exchange + strong security, don’t leave everything on CEX. Avoid leverage, signals, hype calls, and DMs. Year 1 goal isn’t profit — **it’s not blowing up and learning.**

DiligentGambler4

Well I gonna wait for the BTC Halving on April 2028 and it would be more affordable, happening right now are just a healthy dumps so if youre a scalper well you can do DCA's

How do you lose it all? Isn’t everyone just sitting on their BTC?

> BTC Maxis were giving Trump a handjob Objectively they performed grievous amounts of fellatio on Saylor as well, which in its own way is kind of depressing

Blockchainauditor

According to https://txcity.io/v/eth-btc/launch, it has been 28 minutes since the last BTC block as I type this. 10 minute average means some will be settled faster than others. That is a problem.

Crispin_Clover

I tested out the cash app BTC roundup. Damn, they are making a killing on that. The spread is awful. Checking the BTC price and the executed price my purchase was at.. the spread is kinda bad. I mean, for $0.55 purchase, sure, it’s reasonable that BTC would give me a spread $500 below the average rate in the market. But when you add that up, day after day, over years. You’re paying a premium for sure.

BlockScopeHQ

Congrats. People underestimate how big 0.2 BTC already is especially long term.

OneRobotBoii

I essentially did this for an entire year, doing about 4 million per day. Guess how much BTC I got? 

devCheckingIn

Objectively the regulatory environment improved under Trump. It just turns out that doesn't mean anything for price action. And we also found out that BTC is indeed not "digital gold".

biba8163

~1 Year Ago: - BTC Maxis were giving Trump a handjob because he was creating a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve - ETH Maxis were tickling Trump's balls because the Trump Crime Family had created WLFI DEFI lol and were buying ETH, AAVE, etc with money from scamming people selling $TRUMP and WLFI tokens - XRP Lunatics happily had their noses up Trump's ass tossing his salad because he was firing Gary Gensler and the SEC would no longer be "persecuting" scammers like Ripple

Cryptopearl13

One push higher for BTC. Second half of 2026 we will reach bear market low -> 3 - 3.5% USDT.D

DBRiMatt

Just put that 21cents of BTC into the long service leave package, then it might be worth something years later.

XoXeLo

How is anything even relevant to crypto price? The fact that crypto goes up in price doesn't even make sense to start, and this was true since Bitcoin was $3k. There is no reason why BTC ever reached $100k or why it should keep going up, except to make gamblers money.

Mantis-Prawn

It is your own mindset that decides to calculate everything back to your local currency. You are free to choose to calculate everything you have in Watts, hours, BTC, eggs or apples. 

Funnyurolith61

We might see BTC at around 65k

Takakikun

Mostly BTC & ETH. Some Alts that I’ll convert to ETH anyway. But that’s somewhat beside my question which is what is the best to send from Kraken to Revolut? Stable Coin or GBP?

MK2809

I think we are seeing the 4 year cycle play out, and this upwards movement was just a bull trap. I think Trump will be out of office one way or another this year, and I think that uncertainty when that happens will set BTC and Crypto on another leg down. The 4 year cycle would then suggest BTC bottoms around October. I know many have supported the idea that the market would rally again in 2026 with new ATHs and the fact there hasn't been an alt season has also caused people to think this, but as the days and weeks passes it's looking less likely and less probable. But, I guess we'll see.

zbanana

No one really knows the exact bottom, but 60k isn’t a crazy level to think about. We’ve seen BTC do 30–40% pullbacks even in strong cycles, especially after fast run-ups. At the same time, a lot depends on macro and how spot demand reacts on dips. Volatility is just part of the game.

stentz-

Dude, chill. It was supposed to be 250k last yr. Heavy market manipulation by the big money. The silver market proves that manipulation has limitations. When BTC rips these guys manipulating the markets will be jumping off buildings.

skarrrrrrr

BTC pumps : Yay we are so back ! - BTC dumps : Orange man bad ... lol

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A GitHub project called Mnemonic Slots allows users to spin a 'seed phrase slot machine' to check if the resulting Bitcoin (BTC) address holds any funds. While the concept may seem enticing, the odds of finding a wallet with significant BTC are astronomically low. With 2^128 possible combinations, even spinning continuously for trillions of years would likely yield no results. The developer acknowledges this, stating 'there are no winners.' The project highlights the improbability of striking it rich through such methods. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Stock-Sheepherder258

Nobody knows the exact bottom, but $60K isn’t a crazy take. Fast drops usually mean high volatility both ways. BTC could wick lower to shake weak hands, then bounce hard. What matters more than the number is how price reacts there volume + demand

Artistic_Mango4576

I have found something that kind of works... First buy shares in a gold producer. as gold rises so will your gold shares. Whenever your shares are worth 5% more than when you baught them, sell the 5% profit and use it to buy BTC at these cheep sub 100k prices. Ive personaly used 20K worth of gold shares to buy 12K worth of bitcoin for effectivly free over the past 8 months

Sea-Environment-5938

"Market meltdown" is such a dramatic headline for what BTC does every cycle. Below $ 90k is definitely a key level, but unless you're overleveraged this is just volatility doing its thing.

robyer

Well, if Q-day happens before Bitcoin is able to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography (which is possible, because core devs and community are mostly downplaying the threat) and fully migrate (which will take years, and 20% of coins are probably already on addresses with lost keys, ready for quantum computers to grab), then you may get massive discount at Bitcoin. Because it would be practically dead. Good info about Bitcoin is on https://quantumrekt.com But at least read also something about QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) while you're waiting for the BTC discount :) https://theqrl.org/why

Albako442

And what are you going to do with it besides holding and selling it in the future? Why us it valuable? What value does it hold besides fiat value? What does BTC represent exactly?

Signal_Zone8554

Gold/silver has real value and always going up no matter what, BTC is a fun casino game that get you very rich or very poor, high risk only put in what you can lose.

Sensitive-Copy6959

Is Bitcoin a safe haven like gold? Nope, gold is a store of value and Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. Gold going up doesn’t necessitate BTC going up. The market is noise for a holder.

vansterdam_city

As a long time holder of BTC, it does disappoint me to see the "digital gold" thesis hasn't played out during this run for gold. It seems the BTC and gold markets are two completely different groups. BTC is still held mostly by risk-on, high leverage / high risk investors. Gold is the opposite. Your grandpa understands gold. But this is a short term issue to me. Over the very long term, BTC will become gold for the Millennial and younger generations. I don't much care what happens with these odd anti-correlations in the short term. It's still early.

jozhn2997

Yeah.. I got the same value for BTC to drop till this year.. 😬

Cryptomuscom

If trading is the goal, learn technical analysis on BTC or ETH first.

svjaty

You don’t really need a wallet. If you don’t have a significant amount of money you can leave it on binance. Wallet is just a safe way to store BTC when something fishy is going to happen in your country. But even if you are forced to flee, you can revolver it from Binance.

Ok_Budget9461

The most important part of what you’re saying isn’t the price — it’s the anxiety and lack of trust. When a position is relatively small in dollar terms but takes up a lot of mental space, that’s already a signal. Especially if the issue isn’t volatility, but not trusting the founder or the long-term story. One question that helps me in situations like this is: if you didn’t already own Pulsechain today, would you choose to buy it with fresh money? If the honest answer is no, then reducing or exiting isn’t irrational — it’s aligning your portfolio with your real conviction. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Selling part of it to simplify, lower stress, and concentrate into BTC/ETH is a completely valid move, especially if you’re newer and don’t want to add more capital right now. Letting something “ride” only really makes sense if you’re mentally comfortable writing it off and not thinking about it. If it’s causing constant anxiety, that cost is real too — even if it doesn’t show up on a chart. There’s no perfect answer here, but choosing the option that lets you sleep better and stick to a long-term plan is often more important than people admit.

HugeLarry

If BTC surpasses gold's market cap and becomes less volatile, then I think it's likely to become the most popular safe-haven asset, but that's probably a ways off. It's probably going to keep being seen as a risk asset by most of the world for a while longer. Self custody of physical gold will probably always remain popular with people who are worried about doomsday scenarios.

DryMyBottom

tough days, but at least we’re holding BTC. I’m not envying alts investors right now

liviughg

That is the problem. A BTC only market is a vicious cycle whereby its price is driven by those who give up on alts, not because there is any value in BTC. The reverse will come, but not when you expect it.

qpxa

BTC sells off in dollar terms while dollars being debased. Because dollars are such a safe haven.

CyberCrud

In the past decade my USD have lost half its buying power.  Converting to USDC coin wouldn't change that.  In that same period, my silver has gone up 500% and my BTC has gone up like 900%.  Paired with USDC, that's still true.  Fiat is already dead.  We just don't know it yet.  They can print infinite amounts.  BTC is finite.

I think it's very good to DCA when BTC is dumping

Negative_Salt_4599

Dude just do stocks. Crypto is very volatile. Otherwise just BTC… DCA I’d wait at least 6 months but you do you.

Rude-Pick-2026

Cash app has seamless integration with BTC. Buy, sell, send all relatively cheap to complete the transaction. Can set up direct deposits to automatically purchase a percentage of BTC each week. Withdraw to a custodial wallet for extra security where only you hold the keys ensuring security. Venmo unsure.

ccroz113

Can you really blame them? Hindsight helps obviously but you can’t expect many people at all to be that clued into something like BTC in 2014

fattobby

You can look for small Bitcoin gift certificates based on the Lightning Network, which can be easily redeemed for BTC.

TimYapthebest

BTC

mossyskeleton

not infinite. 100,000,000 Satoshis in 1 BTC

bollocksgrenade

If you only bought BTC than the total sum of all your crypto is zero.

PMull34

Where'd you buy that BTC? Part of what makes BTC so valuable is that you yourself can hold the keys to your wealth and move it without oversight. If you buy it on Robinhood, they are the owners to the keys of your bitcoin.  Check out some youtube vids, people like btcsessions will explain wayyy it better than I can on a mobile phone.  Welcome to the new world of money

Selling for Silver cause that chart is going up and BTC just keeps going down!

24 hours ago, hue hue XMR decoupling from BTC Now, sound of crickets

DelapidatedNoodle

Coinbase says I can't buy only 21 cents of a BTC at a time because that would make me a poor and they don't want to service poors. Needs to be at least 1 dollar.

bollocksgrenade

BTC is not "Crypto"

kstreetsushi

Imagine you get the $400.00 accumulated and I BTC goes to $125k again. Bam 40% returnz +$160.00.

This_Maintenance_834

send BTC to exchange to get shitcoins. send shitcoins to DEX and buy BTC. send your BTC to your local wallet. no one will ever find out, unless your need to cash out. When you cash out you can do similar way to get fiat.

Sin-City-Sinner

Don’t sell unless it’s part of a strategy to lower your DCA and or total investment in BTC, it’s what I did, it worked out well for me, and now I’m watching the price with my figure on the trigger to buy back in as low as I can for the same amount after I withdrew some nice profits when it was at the ATH. HODL my friends you won’t regret it especially if you ya e the capital to buy 0.5 or a whole BTC

blockstreamHQ

Generally, we advise moving off exchanges as soon as possible to remove third-party risk. For the base layer, the million-sat mark is the community standard for a reason. If you consistently withdraw in smaller fragments, you’re just piling up future fees. A 1 million sat UTXO ensures your Bitcoin remains spendable without being eaten alive by transaction costs later on. This is where Liquid fits in. Lightning withdrawals from your exchange to Liquid via a service like Boltz swaps (service coming soon to Blockstream app) is the elite way to manage UTXO sizes. Massive privacy benefits as well. 🤫 You accumulate in Liquid and only pay the on-chain fee once when you swap that large Liquid balance to your cold storage. **Exchange Lightning withdraw ➔ Boltz Swap ➔ Liquid (Blockstream app) ➔ Accumulate to 1M+ sats ➔ Peg out Mainchain BTC (Cold Storage Blockstream Jade)**

AKBonesaw

Yes exactly. They would have been paid all their hours as regular time and then received all the OT as BTC under the table. The point is not only did none take the offer. As suggested by others. Anytime I paid a friend in BTC for something we split like a fishing trip or gas money, they would always immediately convert it to dollars.

Lisaismyfav

I thought BTC is digital gold?

Hena_Evore

Machines.cash lets you convert BTC or USDT into spendable balance through virtual Visa cards without exchange hopping. You deposit crypto once, create cards with spending limits, and use them anywhere Visa works. Settles in USDC with single-use deposit addresses to reduce wallet linkage.

AKBonesaw

I don’t doubt what was said about most people not able to have the conviction to hold them or it being unreasonable to think they would have invested them long term being the most likely outcome. However for context, nearly all of these guys were single or just dating with no kids at the time. Also I was, and still am, a fucking BTC maxi who was trying my best to help them not blow all their money on cigs, beer and eating out and encourage them to put something aside. I led all these people to the spring and not one of them drank from it. I don’t really try to help people out IRL in this way anymore.

heinzmoleman

Well how can she purchase 11 BTC then???? CAD is 70% USD value.

No need to start projecting lil bro. Hold that BTC till 450k you'll need all the help you can get.

Seems like a "sell the news" on the Bitcoin reserve, plus geopolitical nonsense/chaos. Turns out BTC is still risk-on even 17 years in.

Suspicious-Skill1934

BTC never been a safe haven, at least for now, its a risk on assets dumped with risk on market.

Woof-woof69

They coulda at least do $1 extra…. .21 cents is a joke even if BTC… so in maybe ~5 years that’s a dollar extra but like come on 🫠

RepresentativeAspect

The only thing propping up the price of BTC is its own momentum. It can’t afford a lengthy stall out as people will grow disinterested and sell. Then there’s no fundamental value to sustain any price at all. So Saylor is doing what he must, and praying for the carousel to keep moving.

Agreeable-Sleep-1589

This is the 5 year chart... Does it look like a bear market or the brice just returning to the mean? Every time it swings it either to the moon or to the gutter with everyone. BTC has become mainstream and may not trade in bull and bear cycles like before now or ever again. Looks like a healthy price returning to the mean.... Where it should be.

Odd-Farm270

These guys are going to be earning an extra 1,3 satoshis. BTC being used for explotation 😂😂😂

Big_Storage_3708

Old money doesn’t need BTC. It’s a store of value for the future

Fantastic-Two1110

How many times have people been scammed on losing their BTC? Works both ways BTC doesn't fix stupidity

blockstreamHQ

The cope is real. Gold: requires physical vaults, armed security, and professional assayers to prove it isn't tungsten. High friction to move or spend. Bitcoin: 12 words, moves globally in minutes, verifiable by a $50 node. Both hedge fiat. Only one is natively portable and instantly verifiable. $100k USD in gold is \~650g. $100k in BTC is 0g.

Reasonable_Band1536

Do not touch alt or meme coins. Invest in BTC.

ancillarycheese

This is fine but many locations are not “company-operated”, instead they are franchises. Steak n Shake’s goal is to shift all locations to franchise. So the number of workers impacted by this is smaller than it may seem. Still great for the adoption of BTC

Aus_Dave

Good analogy. At least with eggs, consumers MUST buy some every week for food recipes so there is a hungry constant demand regardless of high prices (happened in Australia recently and the egg aisles were empty). Bitcoin has always been speculative alone, and has competition in global payments and fierce competition for hedging against the dollar (as we've seen with Gold vs BTC prices). As much as I love the Bitcoin concept, if this 4 year cycle drops below Strategy's floor it may help fuel a bubble burst moment where people realise BTC always needed 'more buyers and then... more buyers' without intrinsic value to prop up price. Like the 2000 'dot com' burst where Amazon dropped >90% then rose 1000x, a flush out of the crypto market will be a rare opportunity to buy the few long-term winners that deliver the greatest service most efficiently.

Crazy_names

I have to take a trip in a few weeks and I am so excited there is a Steak'n'shake in the area so I can go and buy lunch with BTC. I dont plan on selling and I know its a little silly to spend it something kind of frivolous but if it encourages businesses to use BTC I'm in for a every now and then.

s_360

That’s 0.005 BTC/year if you work full time.

Citizen_Kano

TitanicChurro

I use Ally as my BTC bank...never had one prob with it.

GalaxyDefender1x

Doesnt people use BTC... like gold or silver? shouldnt the news make BTC go up.. not down ?

wizardofwestworld

Your logic makes no sense. The S&P averages a return of 10%/year or 100% over 10 years. If you think BTC is going to increase by 20-25% in that time, how is it "clear" that it will be much higher than the S&P?

shredyeti

The only thing to keep in mind is whatever you sell BTC for will probably not appreciate in value nearly as fast as BTC- the only reason to sell is to buy things that offer utility. Otherwise you are just uselessly diversifying.

paulzag

Everything has risk, the goal is to reduce the opportunities for compromise. If you are *not* a well-known BTC HODLer: Download APK & check signature. Boot from a newly prepared Linux live usb Check APK signature still matches under Linux Obtain clean/new SD card Move APK to SD card SD card into Android phone Install APK. Well-known BTC HODLers know what to do as they can’t trust anything.

InevitableButterfly6

Here's my take on your situation and how Bith⁤ome.​tech might be a game-changer for you: You're at a crossroads, and it's a tough one. You've done well to accumulate over 1 BTC, which is no small feat. Your current situation, with minimal expenses and a prom⁤otion, gives you a unique opportunity to make a significant financial move. Bith⁤ome.​tech could be the bridge that connects your Bitcoin holdings to a tangible asset like real estate, allowing you to diversify your portfolio without completely liquidating your cryptocurrency investments. Bith⁤ome.​tech provides a platform where you can buy and sell real estate using Bitcoin and other cryptocur⁤rencies\^1,3\^. This means you could potentially use a portion of your Bitc⁤oin to purchase a home, giving you the stability and peace of mind you're seeking, while still maintaining some exposure to the potential growth of Bitcoin. It's a way to have your cake and eat it too—you get the security of real estate and the potential upside of cryptocurrency.

flumpsy

I'm from the UK I use Strike to DCA. Once you've done a certain amount of recurring buys there's no fees. Think it was about a week's worth. The way I do it is send a standing order from my current account to the strike app banking info each month and then it buys the same amount each day. You can set it in the app to automatically send it to your cold wallet once it reaches your defined threshold in BTC. So you may for example set it to send each time it reaches 0.001BTC so it's in your custody and not theirs. It's pretty "set and forget"

tcp-xenos

time in the market beats timing of the market. If you believe in BTC and what it stands for, a few % on the weekly chart makes no difference on the 10+ year horizon

paulzag

If you have a nation-state’s nuclear secrets on that hard drive, then its adversary’s TLAs use the HDD frequencies and every other trick you’ve heard of to read that drive. That’s current capability. For < $50K USD? A wrench attack or break-in is the greater threat. So I agree with you. People shouldn’t overthink it. If self custody BTC is legally risky 1. Buy IBIT if you can (that will get me downvoted fast) or 2. Follow those instructions via old android phone or Linux USB. Secure your 12/24 words offline for always and forever. Q: if OP buys more at a later date, use a new wallet address. Should OP generate e.g. 5 addresses via 13th/25th word passphrase or 5 brand new wordlists? I think address reuse is a bigger risk if the state ever finds out about ANY of OP’s transactions.

Longjumping-Row-6147

Buy the top, panic sell at a loss, then cry when it goes back up again. Kidding - we are most likely in a large prolonged downtrend after we lost the 50wma for multiple weeks. Slowly DCA into BTC as it drops and stick with only bitcoin for like 2-3 years (maybe some eth) then at the next halving in the post halving year maybe start diversifying.

Ok_Lake8089

BTC people are so smug

RefillCeltics

20–25% CAGR isn’t “bearish,” it’s actually *insane* for a $trillion-ish asset. I’d frame it as a range: maybe **10–25%** nominal depending on adoption + macro + regulation. The bigger BTC gets, the more it behaves like a “high-beta macro asset” instead of a 100x lottery ticket.

awesomeplenty

Whales are looking to liquidate MSTR as they publicly stated that they would be in trouble when BTC reaches $20k. All hell will break loose, cascading domino effects, all exchanges bankrupts as reserves are all fake, 99.99% of projects capitulates as Devs can't pay the bills and finds a real non crypto job, miners switches off asic and pivots to providing GPU for AI instead, everyone's portfolio goes down 90-99%, USDT depegs, and we start over fresh.

Nakamanua

I remember when a guy here in the sub said BTC would never fall below 90k ever again lmaooooo

LuckLocal8213

If you want unbiased information, coming to r/bitcoin and asking if you should DCA Bitcoin might not be the best option. I think just about everyone on here will say that buying it is a good idea. I believe that and so does just about everyone on this sub. At an amount like $4 a day, something you have to think about really is “what’s the worst that could happen.” Obviously, the worst is BTC goes to 0. Highly improbable though and the more realistic worst scenario that could happen in the next year or so would be something like a 50% or 60% drop. Still, I wouldn’t expect that, but let’s say it does happen. Let’s say you DCA and your average price is $100k over the next year and then out of the blue it drops to $40k. If for some reason that makes you want to sell, you would then lose $876. Yes, that is a loss, and that could be a lot of money to you, but that is likely not life changing money. Now let’s look at the upside. Let’s say you DCA and your average price is like $100k and the year ends off with BTC at $130k. This would be relatively low for what would be “expected” in the next year, but would still gain you $438 in “profit” if you were to then decide to sell. In the end, with an amount like this, you aren’t too risking much, so even if it turns out to be a bad financial decision, it won’t end your life. TLDR: $4 everyday is not going to make you go broke even if Bitcoin turns out to be a horrible investment, but it probably will not make you a millionaire in the next year either. This is relatively low risk
