BTC

OP, BTC will go down, look at the stats

f2pool-CSR2

BTC can also be accumulated by mining, not just buying.

PhysInstrumentalist

Because there will likely be a fintech advancement that leverages blockchain tech that feels like you’re paying with actual cash. I hate paying for things with Bitcoin, as a consumer I would still rather use cash to buy things, despite how much BTC is better in principle. The usability is simply not there, but people still need it to buy drugs so its not going anywhere.

slop_drobbler

I’m thinking circa £30k bottom for BTC before the year ends, probably around October. Around £120k top in 2029, so the opportunity to make a 4x if you time the market perfectly. People thinking we’ve already hit the bottom, or that we’re moments away from another rally are delusional imo. Trump will find another crisis to manipulate the markets with after he gets bored with Iran. Don’t give a fuck about ETH, it’s not worth bothering with any more imo

Successful_Ad_380

Why mock people? They're coming from a place of ignorance, everyone has to learn about BTC

ShockCatOnSol

Yes,absorption not distribution is the BTC read. BOME volume signature was textbook. SOL entry zone still valid, macro is the only real wildcard. The Grid is watching $80.5K BTC as the confirmation level that changes everything.

riscten

Thanks, just dug a little about this pattern, and you seem to be right, historical 82% success rate with BTC when backtesting. It's interesting. Are we seeing the inverse yet?

Timtim99x

agreed, the market is totally different than in 2022. With this pullback it does not feel this way, it feels just like 2022, but it is not. In 2022 we had a lot of forced selling, this time around STRC is a BTC accumulation machine, sucking the air out of the bears!

evandollardon

$98 on a $1k position in a month feels good, but it's noise in the context of where BTC has historically gone over a full cycle. Selling here means timing every re-entry correctly from now on, which is the hardest thing to do consistently. The holders who compound cycles don't sell the first green month. They park their position somewhere it's working like earning yield at a platform like nexo

mralzh

Every time bitcoin drops, all the "bears" come here to say: I told you! it’s going down!! xd and every time it goes up, all the "bulls" come here to say: I told you!!, nobody has a crystal ball lmao, you dont know if tomorrow its going to start dropping to 50k or rising to 150k. Do you believe in BTC? Okay, bet on it, but dont come to Reddit every time it moves a little with these kinds of posts lol.

VastJuice2949

Btc. Just buy BTC. Maybe ETH.

Bruglione

There are some ideas floating around already that a new BIP proposal for migrating BTC wallets could include a temporary change to blocks so that a fixed % of the blocksize can only be used for migration/upgrade transactions. This will put some strain on transaction costs, but it'll be manageable. That way we could ensure that everyone gets to migrate/upgrade within a certain timeframe, while also keeping space for regular transactions. It'll be up to the user if they want to pay a higher fee and be first in line to upgrade, or pay a lower fee and wait a couple months or even years.

mneymaker

Veeeery interesting and fresh framework. Imagine BTC becomes part of the defense budget spend through each country's Strategic Reserve. Sound reaaaaaally strategic, in that sense.

Live-Dot1624

I was able to buy BTC during the 66k price.

mvds74

Ask yourself what your goal was when you bought BTC. Are you in it for the long term, or for the quick win? And please, invest only money you don't need!

Smooth-Limit-1712

Wow, 815k BTC is just insane. Hard to even fathom that kind of accumulation. Thanks for sharing this news, really puts things into perspective on the big players moving silently in the background.

xanokothe

Print stocks, use money to buy BTC, pay dividends that are less than bank loans, rise and repeat

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh yeah … BTC went from 15k to 126k that was massive … me personally I’m pissed because I was once a whole bitcoiner and i also caught the bottom in 2022-2023..

key take-away: - the board has high confidence this type of machine (Q- computers) will eventually be built - the real vulnerability is wallet-level (looking @ you BTC; an estimated 6.9 million coins are threatened - proof-of-stake chains have additional exposure (looking @ you ETH) - developing quantum-resistant alternatives is not the hard part, its rolling them out and with significant affects on transaction speed, storage, cost. (Analogy: Have fun putting a V10 into a Corolla. step 2: floor it ;) - migrating millions of wallets across decentralized networks, where every user has to take action, is a coordination challenge unlike anything traditional finance faces (looking @ you BTC)

MysteriousVisit5025

The best time to buy BTC was yesterday. The second best time is today man, right now.

DevelopmentKnown1937

I think, but do not know, because Saylor and co are buying up so much bitcoin along with the other institutions, they are literally breaking the cycle right now before our eyes. I think BTC wants to keep heading north from here however the ongoing geopolitical situation, if continues unresolved or straight of hormuz remains closed, could hold BTC back. I literally have no idea though of course but with less than 2 million BTC liquid now and more and more getting gobbled up in what will be a race - this might be the last time we see these prices in many years to come.

pop-1988

There's no supply shock. BTC trading volume is hundreds of thousands of BTC per day. The halving is a reduction in minting volume from 900 BTC per day to 450 BTC per day

Aerocryptic

BTC with a slightly higher high. Breakout or deviation?

pop-1988

Exclude everything that was launched as an airdrop by fraudulently inheriting the prior history of Bitcoin - BCH, BTG Exclude everything centralized by design - XRP and similar entrepreneurial projects Exclude everything centralized by outcome, because their blockchains are so bloated that nodes are expensive to run, which makes the node network very small - ETH and all the other so-called "smart chains" This leaves BTC, NMC, LTC, DOGE, XMR In recent years, apathy has led to developers drifting away from LTC and DOGE. They both still have large-enough node networks to be decentralized. But each of them is only one Core bug away from having zero nodes > the Price is volatile So? The price market isn't relevant to the question The software which runs on each Bitcoin node has no price-related functions The gold analogy is ludicrous

BTC is the global stablecoin, all currencies just fluctuate against it a lot.

BTC still leading & altcoin trying to catch up

Commercial-Ad90

Sold my C8 Corvette and bought 1 single bitcoin with it (sale price BTC overlapped by chance a month ago). Family thinks I’m crazy. We’ll see in 5 years.

DSMRob

Hmmm you seem to be missing alot on the real estate side. Tax write offs every year, 1031 exchanges, monthly cash flow. This is just a small part of it. While BTC is good to hold so is a real estate portfolio.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

If there were almost no buyers and no sellers, a single buyer could purchase a dollar of BTC at the equivalent of $330k/btc and move the needle instantly. The only thing that keeps this from happening is a world with tens of thousands of buyers and sellers at any given moment. That's my philosophical thought for the evening.

I am a degenerate gambler. I dont know when to take profits or to walk away. I acknowledge and accept this. Having said that, that should provide some clarity as to why i act the way i do. In very early 2024, I basically got "lucky" on a random memecoin. I only spent around $550 or $600 total for a massive bag. at the time i was unemployed , living with my mother after a bad breakup, with probably 5 grand to my name, and i was just messing around with what little savings i had while i was looking for new jobs. Well i found a random memecoin on reddit, as a "recommended subreddit" for another random memecoin i think i originally saw listed on this subreddit. So long story short, being out of work and not having anything to do most of the day, i deep dove into it and decided to buy some. So i bought a couple hundred million of it, around 250M in total, spent around like i said at most 600 USDT. the memcoin itself was on a sketchy exchange but it was new and there was no where else to buy it, aside from people mining it on mining dutch. basically the only supply was people from mining dutch selling it here for like 2 or 3 USDT per 500k at first, to really put in perspective just how cheap this was in the beginning. So, time went on and i more or less kinda put it in the back of my mind. I ended up getting a job which i still have today which im blessed for, and it provided financial stability. I randomly checked again on the coin in early july of 2024 and saw that it more or less hadnt changed much in value. i think i had lost 100 or 150 bucks, it was all just sitting on the exchange. Didnt really care about it or need it so just left it there. Didnt buy any more just left it. Then, late 2024 happened. The coin was picked up on some merged mining site and it absoutely went haywire. price went from like 5 to 7 USDT per million to something stupid like 1000 USDT per million. suddenly I see my bags go from 450 USDT to quite literally a quarter million dollars within the span of a couple weeks. Now i wasnt entirely stupid, I did sell around 25,000 USDT worth of it on the exchange, put into bitcoin, solana, also bought a PS5, a new laptop and couple nice watches. The rest, i left it on there, around 220M coins in total, so i sold more or less 30M Unfortunately, greed took hold of me, as it does to many people in this scenario. I decided to say F--k it, im just gonna keep it all. I ended up making a seperate wallet on the actual blockchain and i pulled out all the rest aside from 10M or so i was using as a swing trade bag on the exchange to get a couple 100K coins profit to add. So i moved like 210M - ish to this wallet, put the wallet dat onto a USB stick and basically stopped checking the price. It basically just kept going down with very little exception. From ATH in Dec 2024 all the way to present, the price has gone from 0.0016 all the way down to 0.000122, todays price. My bag is worth a hair under 30,000 USDT right now, which basically makes me sick. It makes me depressed knowing how i couldve better used that money. I have no one to blame but myself and my greed. At this point, i dont even want to sell it because im just disgusted by it all. The exchange i bought it on is now defunct and i have no transaction data aside from 3 or 4 transfers from coinbase to the exchange to buy it, which are lost to time. To some people 30,000 USDT is still a good chunk of change, but i just cannot fathom cashing out now. I guess the moral of the story is dont be stupid like i am/was. I wake up depressed most days thinking about it. I think about had i just converted it all to SOL or BTC and just kept it on a ledger or something id have an actual retirement fund, instead of basically smoke in mirrors. Financially im in a better spot now than i was 2 years ago, have a good savings, and just got a pay raise at my job, but this shit just haunts me at night. I wake up sometimes just angry and sick about it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

silverous

The "where does the yield come from" question is the single most important question in all of crypto finance, and it's remarkable how rarely people actually ask it. The structure you describe, using new investor capital to buy BTC, then needing BTC appreciation to fund the promised yield, is a dependency chain. It works in bull markets and breaks in bear markets. That's not necessarily a scam, but it is a fragile structure. The honest framing would be: "STRCH gives you leveraged BTC exposure with an 11% coupon, funded by continuous dilution and BTC price appreciation." That's a legitimate product if people understand what they're buying. The problem is when it gets marketed as "safe yield." Anyone evaluating yield products should map the actual cash flows. If the yield requires asset appreciation or new capital inflows to sustain, it's not yield, it's a leveraged bet with extra steps.

LorenzoVonMatterh0rn

If this is the case I plan to have acquired a full BTC by the end of the year. I am skeptical about the 4 year cycle talk with the big time institutional buy-in

charmquark8

Strategy can do whatever the fuck with their BTC whenever they want. BlackRock does not have that freedom. That freedom is the difference between ownership and custodianship.

BTC swept to $78,348: highest print since February 4. Oil dumped from \~$100 to sub-$89 in hours. S&P 500 pushed through 7,000. **Weekend to Monday:** Ceasefire deadline pressure. US-Iran maritime clashes. Iran rejected a second round of talks. BTC flushed back to $73,753. $83 billion wiped from total crypto market cap. **Tuesday:** Reports that a US delegation was heading to Islamabad for a second round of negotiations. BTC bounced to $76,944 intraday. Then both sides escalated rhetorically and it pulled back. $97 million in leveraged positions liquidated: 64% of them shorts, so the market is still leaning bullish despite everything. Today the ceasefire technically expires. Second round of talks is underway. Fear & Greed sits at 33. Kevin Warsh's Fed confirmation hearing is running simultaneously. The past five days have made one thing very clear: this market is moving on events that happen at 3am with zero warning and zero runway. [The $78K-to-$73K round trip took roughly 72 hours.](https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-seesaw-geopolitical-uncertainty-shakes-btc-price-ahead-of-us-iran-deadline/) The Kelp DAO hack on Saturday was another version of the same lesson from a different angle: Aave's WETH pools froze mid-crisis and depositors couldn't exit their positions while the price moved around them. In an environment like this, the gap between wanting to act and being able to act matters. That's partly why non-custodial setups are worth thinking about. If you're on a platform that requires KYC approval, withdrawal queues, or holds custody of your assets, the headline has already moved by the time you're in position.

Just stay with ETH and BTC 90% or greater of crypto investments. Use monthly candle chart to buy at lows and sell on the highs for longterm. Don't get greedy big swings mean a lot money while being safe.

VastPresence2412

While I don’t believe it is the most important part in my opinion, what I like the most about Bitcoin is that the control is in the coin holder. No one can freeze your account during the time we need BTC the most.

Few-Sky-976

I started out buying Butcoin, ten years ago, and only regret that I didnt buy more. My strategy was to swing trade Bitcoin by buying at below the current median price (buy the dip) then sell once it rose to 10 or 15% above the median. Rinse and repeat, hundreds of times. This strategy was designed to increase my holdings, as BTC was very volatile years ago. Of course I had to pay shirt term capital gains every year, but I didnt vare, just as day traders dont care. Now, we have better options for buying the top 4 cryptocurrencies, as the wallet storage issues and crypto taxes are a nightmare, frankly. Instead of opening a Coinbase or Gemini or other account, you can just open a Fidelity or Robinhood or Webull account instead (Webull has great offers for new accounts, too), and then simply buy ticker IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) or ticker ETHA (Ethereum ETF) or ticker GSOL (Solana ETF) or ticker XRP (Ripple ETF) after you deposit USD into your new brokerage account. A simple buy and hold strategy where you use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) to buy any of these 4, will allow you to hold crypto in ETFs, where you DO NOT HAVE TO DO CRYPTO TAXES. Instead, the brokerage will send you a 1099-B form at the end of each year, which is 20X easier than a complicated crypto tax return. I know, we do them every tear, and we have to use crypto tax software to summarize our gains. And here's the deal. The gains are the same essentially, minus a tiny ETF fee. Also, Coinbase or whatever exchange charges you a fee for every buy and every sale, so it works out to be the same capital gains purchasing via a crypto ETF with a brokerage account. This is a huge advantage that only recently became possible, when Bitcoin ETFs were launched, followed by ETH ETFs, then Solana, then XRP So, this was not even possible 4 yeaes ago, but it is now. Also, with a brokerage account, you can also invest in Strategy stock (ticker MSTR) and its new preferred dividend stock "Stretch", (ticker STRC), which pays an amazing 11.5% monthly dividend based upon MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings. So, it's now easy to have a 100% crypto based investment strategy using a brokerage account. Do it with a Roth IRA and it's an even better strategy.

richardto4321

The 4-year cycle was already broken when BTC hit a new ATH before the last halving in 2024. That had never happened before. So it's probably safe to say that whatever comes next will be out of what we all thought was the "norm."

Unbalanced_Acctnt

Check out BTC Sessions on YouTube. Ben does a ton of free training videos showing how to use different wallets and how to get Bitcoin off exchanges.

SY0123

I guess this sub is very pro BTC. The difference in these calculations is the risk and that past performance is not a guarantee for future returns. Also a good rental property investor also typically makes money on the purchase; they look for properties that go under value. Houses are not like stocks and bitcoins, the bid ask spread is huge sometimes.

LushLustPin

Nice breakdown. That BTC absorption looks legit, feels like classic slow bleed before a move. I’m with you on BOME, that kind of volume vs mcap while price drips is exit liquidity vibes. SOL entry zone looks juicy too if macro doesn’t nuke everything.

Constant_Counter_595

Monero definitely has its place but yeah people get weird about privacy coins lol BTC is solid because it's simple and proven, but saying everything else is scam feels bit extreme to me. Some projects actually solve real problems, just gotta filter through all the garbage tokens

I thought long and hard about this so its a toss up between these 2. you can store it in your head. its that wild you can store any amount of money within your thoughts(providing you know the code dont forget it kids) a "bank "account literally tied to your neurons. need a word for this gotta think outside of banks as we are so conditioned to see our primary store of value our bank account which is the promise of another person. and 2 Its truly the only object that is outside the system. Even Russian billionaire oligarchs get their bank account frozen and taken off them, but with bitcoin good luck I could have 0 cash in the systems eyes but have billions in BTC without them knowing

Plot twist: the mod is actually a BTC maxi and banned you for suggesting a BTC ETF instead of self custody.

ColdOverYonder

ETH cannot be frozen at the protocol level. L2s are different. BTC doesn't technically need consensus for a fork to happen. Though it can be argued that a fork without consensus is simply a shitcoin. You're right, they're not the same.

tequilawhiteclaws

You can argue that crypto in its final conclusion is incompatible with kyc/aml markets. People want centralization, customer service, and institutions with pretty apps. The eventual outcome is brands of stablecoins held on your smart phone are the center of crypto. This is the likely outcome of BTC even, because its transaction fees are too high and centralization has gotten so bad that we'll only use it for BTC-backed USD instruments It was libertarian and noble for about a decade. It will still go up in value a ton, but I don't see how you think a rush for who can be the first bagholders gives it some magical justice

PaulitaN_Price

still bullish overall tho. even if it’s “paper BTC”, all that inflow brings attention and liquidity. just two different paths, convenience vs control

Hirragi_Jeslon

but it’s a different game. ETF holders get price exposure, not actual control. i keep my BTC in gem wallet because owning it directly feels like the whole point

For me, I'm out, paid my taxes, and now just a small portion goes to BTC just for the speculation... I don't even hold actual coin anymore (another custody thing full of hype and BS) - I use a Bitcoin fund. So I don't need more research but I'm glad you guys have done yours. In fact we can agree we are both heavily researched, and are just coming away with different conclusions. It happens and what makes the world go round! Good luck, fortune favors the bold.

Funny you ask, because as a 10 year BTC investor myself, I just mentioned to my wife that now is a good time to buy BTC (or IBIT if you have a brokerage account). Its levels are back to where it was many months ago. Also, Garrett of Verified Investing, (a YouTuber & stock technical analyst) I trust just posted another video showing how his technical analysis shows a high probability of Bitcoin going up to $80,000 very soon, and possibly beyond that. In short, Yes.

ScholarPlayful3421

Agreed, budgeting is a game changer, when you can see exactly where every dollar goes it’s easy to cut out the excess spending. Random subscriptions, takeout, etc. I was genuinely shocked the first time I budgeted and realized I spent $250 that month on takeout fast food…trying to keep that below $50 and the rest I DCA into BTC

ZucchiniDelicious789

Honestly, if I started over at 20, I'd DCA part of monthly income that would not affect my daily life into BTC, zero leverage, no alt coins until I can explain what the chain actually does. Hardware wallet from day 1, nothing stays on an exchange. Retail's only edge is time horizon. Institutions report quarterly, you can hold 10 years. That math beats trading for most people. Investment is one of the two ways normal people can move up the social ladder, the other is through entrepreneurship. Though risks exist, making educated decision after doing your own research, knowing your where your edge is, and investing the amount of money that you can lose separte you from gambling.

You can use ETH chart simultaneously with BTC chart to control false signals. Fifferent percentages but ETH and BTC tend to go same direction. https://preview.redd.it/lvxa3bu7vlwg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daa4dba771a150e9d9758420df42dba4667da1d1

sicknal

I will add to test your seed phrase, reset the wallet and use your seed to restore it, that way you are familiar with the restore process, then you can send a bigger amount after you tested with a small transaction and recover it. Something to consider is when you transfer don’t be cheap with the transaction fee because the lower the fee it will take more time for the transaction to ne confirmed, let’s say you are sending 3000 usd worth of BTC would you pay.36 cents and wait 24 hrs or more or pay 1 dollar and ensure your transaction get processed on the next block ( 10 to 20 mins) peace of mind, good luck!

There’s a lot of hindsight benefit in that calculation. I’ve done both BTC starting in 2016 and stocks. The Bitcoin did amazing and the stocks did a steady 14% each year. But panic selling the bottom isn’t the hard part. The hard part is selling the top. If I was starting today I’d do both still with BTC at 10%. Maybe: - VOO: 60% - QQQ: 20% - SMH: 10% - BTC: 10%

Additional-Ad-7599

The fixed supply. No central bank or government can dilute it. 21 million, that's it. In a world where every asset is subject to someone with an incentive to print more, BTC is genuinely unique.

MoverWhoStacksSats

I did struggled with this back like 2020ish and I sold during a dip. And waited for a larger dip to jump back in. Since my emotions always over ruled good logic it was a hard lesson for me to learn but glad I personally learned it back then. It is almost impossible to time BTC without a system. Buy and hold over a cycle will normal always win over time.

ShockCatOnSol

Exactly the read on BTC confirmation - SOL’s thesis strengthens significantly above $80.5K. On PENGU, the IP angle is what separates it from pure narrative plays. ETH chopping zone is the right frame range trade or wait for the catalyst. The Grid is watching the ETH/BTC ratio as the real tell for when that changes.

Putrid_Economist_617

Been DCAing into BTC for over a year now and went through the same frustration with manual buys. A few things I learned: Exchange built-in DCA (like Kraken's recurring buy) is the easiest option but usually comes with higher spreads — you're paying a hidden premium on every buy even if the "fee" looks low. Dedicated DCA tools that connect via API to your exchange give you more control. You keep your funds on whichever exchange has the best spot fees (OKX, Binance, etc.), and the tool just executes the buys for you. This way you get real spot market prices instead of the inflated "instant buy" prices. The key things to look for: API-only access (no withdrawal permissions — your funds stay on YOUR exchange) Spot market execution, not "instant buy" with markup Some kind of profit-taking logic — pure blind DCA works, but DCA with automatic profit locking compounds much faster I switched from manual weekly buys to an automated setup on OKX about 3 months ago and it's been night and day. \~2% monthly on total deposit with zero effort. The bot handles entries AND exits, which most exchange recurring buys don't do at all. The 25€/week approach is solid for accumulation. Just make sure wherever you automate it, you're not overpaying on spreads. That eats into your returns more than people realize.

It's about control. They have strict capital controls, 50K. It's the reign in and control the populace. Authoritarian regimes work when they control your capital. BTC is the ultimate back door to get your capital out.

I built almost everything you just said! Can’t wait for the world to see my project. It’s on the hush right now. Give me a month/two I’ll return back to this thread. No KYC no reporting requirements aside from what normal BTC buys would require if you want to comply with that 🤣 no regulations because the user is in control I just made it easier. Best of all non custodial. So yes I checked all your boxes ✅

It's odd that China doesn't support BTC. I don't quite understand why

phantaasama

Yes. But do keep your seed phase safe and in a place only you know and completely offline. If you lose it you lose access to your BTC

Fijiambed

Sell it as there is not enough BTC for all of the believers.

👌 When you understand how a Swiss Lombard works against BTC, you see clearly why DeFi hacks are not a ‘risk’, but a reminder. Custody matters, always.

Actually I bought at this range but the problem lies in the fact that I started the BTC journey at higher prices so it's harder to lower the avg cost

Logical_driver_42

Why weren’t you buying a few days ago at 62k… nothing is promised in BTC I think/ thought the bottom would be between 45-55k I could’ve been wrong but I’ve been buying literally ever dip since 85k because I don’t have a crystal ball. It could go up it could go down selling for a loss to rebuy at a lower number seems like a stupid thing to do worst case scenario you don’t get an entry and end up buying even higher and then it drops again. Best case scenario it drops 15% you get a nice little discount then it goes up. It’s just so much risk for such little reward. Buy more BTC but don’t sell at a loss that’s the only way to lose money on BTC.

I sold my entire rei portfolio except for my primary residence and a vac home that I occasionally rent short term and couldn't be happier. The raising property taxes, general maintenance, surprise repairs, increasing insurance, income tax on gains, tenant issues and even property management fees when all added up didn't amount to enough to make it worth while. I made 2 posts about it back in 2022 and 2023. Feel like I traded at a very good time and don't plan on selling anything until 1 BTC = $1M

Also, bro ignores that selling your house to someone triggers a tax event, further reducing the actual BTC amount they would get. "Do you want to sell me your house for Bitcoin, but at a slightly reduced home value, get taxed, pay me rent, and then maybe trade back after 8 years?" "Um. No."

If you think about how mining works in practice, there is something to be said about Bitcoin "decentralisation". Instead of servers, ask yourself "where are the mining farms?" Anyway, I'm not saying he is right, but us supporters of BTC should be more critical about it than anyone else.

Yeah, it could revisit that range, but that’s exactly why anchoring to one recent price can mess people up The market doesn’t owe anyone the same entry twice, and a level feels “likely” mostly because it’s still fresh in your head That’s why DCA is usually the cleaner long-term move unless your actual Bitcoin thesis changed If you want a better way to follow this stuff without getting lost in every short-term move, WebSnack is useful for tracking the bigger picture around BTC, macro, ETF flows and the kind of market context that usually matters more than one exact re-entry level

SOL conviction at 3:1 r/R makes sense given the ecosystem momentum, but I'd want to see the $80.5k BTC breakout confirm before getting too aggressive. The PENGU narrative is interesting — IP-backed meme coins with genuine community have held up better than pure hype plays this cycle. ETH hold at 44/100 tracks with what I'm seeing too. The symmetric range suggests it's in a chopping zone rather than a trending one — good for range traders, rough if you're trying to catch a directional move.

ElderMight

Why would you sell at a loss? Just keep holding what you have and buy more at these lower prices. I've been buying btc since 2021 and I literally get paid now in BTC through direct deposit on strike since 2024. My paycheck has come in from $50k to $120k. The dollar value right now does not matter because long term when the price is $1M I got this btc at a 90%+ discount.

BlazingPalm

Nah, the mods don’t allow the mention of BTC. Seriously.

qzuc

I believe in BTC I have heard about it a while ago, but the thing is reaching the 60s range looks kinda "achievable" that's why I'm asking

BackgroundPangolin42

I learned my lesson the very hard way. Everything else is BS. BTC is the way.

cashflashmil

If you’re planning to hold long term, selling now just to buy back at $65k is usually the classic mistake of trying to be right twice You’d need to nail both the exit and the re-entry, and most people end up selling, waiting for a lower number, then watching BTC run away without them With a position this size, the simpler move is usually to keep DCAing and stop anchoring too hard to one price target If your long-term thesis on Bitcoin hasn’t changed, trying to outsmart every swing usually does more damage than just staying consistent

GasFeesAteMe

Same. Maybe day traders can see earnings, but there's nothing more stable than BTC. Once I saw the light, I have not invested in anything else.

Bodhisluttva

I’ve got about 1.5 ETH and 2,500 ADA from when I first got into this space. Haven’t bothered exchanging them and I’ll probably just let it ride. All BTC for years now.

“He/she has been in BTC for 10yrs” so therefore they must know what they’re talking about lol You know what I realize, these folks who try to act like they’re so rational and everyone else is delusional stems from the fact that they truly do not know what the hell they’re buying hence why they’re mad that others who do are super optimistic about it.  Humans are by and large not stupid, they might’ve slow moments but stupid they’re not. We won’t advance as specie if most humans opted and/or settled for inferior solutions when clearly better ones exist. As a matter of fact, that’s what separates us from other species. So whenever you see these people call bitcoiners delusional, just know that they’re inadvertently calling most human beings stupid and that these folks will choose fiat over BTC long term and that in my estimation doesn’t track with how humans behave. Innovation adoption is usually a battle btw secret pessimists disguised as optimists vs actual optimists.

Conviction 68/100. 2:1 R/R. Holding $75K with $43B volume in a Fear environment. Not the moment to add aggressively but absolutely not the moment to exit. Watch $80,500 for breakout confirmation. SOL — BUY. Conviction 63/100. 3:1 R/R. Entry $82–$88. Target $128. Positive 24h print with $3.3B volume while broader market sits in Fear. Ecosystem meme activity elevated. Most favorable asymmetry of any major asset today. ETH — HOLD. Conviction 44/100. Underperforming BTC with negative 24h print. Symmetric range between $2,100 support and $2,700 resistance. Not compelling enough to add, not broken enough to exit. PENGU — BUY. Conviction 61/100. 3:1 R/R. Entry $0.0072–$0.0082. Target $0.0135. +3.71% on 30% market cap volume in a Fear market. IP-backed narrative with genuine accumulation signature. Clearest bullish divergence in today’s meme data. BOME — SELL. Conviction 18/100. 94% volume-to-market-cap on a -6.75% day. When 94% of a coin’s market cap trades in one red day the smart money already left. Distribution event unfolding now. Fear at 33 is where weak hands have already sold and strong hands haven’t bought yet. The setup lives in that gap. Not financial advice. Signal over noise. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

On top of him being a fake professor, he’s actually a mouthpiece for Beijing. He’s promoting China interests and China’s interest is not for BTC to succeed.

Some day in the future, when BTC is over $1 million, the r/personalfinance will be banning people for not suggesting BTC.

I'm in the same boat. In BTC from 2009 then during Covid had some fun playing 1 percent of portfolio. Just exhausting and also dealing with places closing and regulations. Out for a while. Can't say would not play a bit but have own corp and do t have the time like during covid.
