BTC

Skepsis93

The fucking image on the article too. BTC pulling the mastersword from a boulder with 68k in the background. It's no wonder people don't take crypto seriously. The entire market feels like a farce more often than not.

Ejemplo: 1,000 dls como cargo a mi terminal funcional del negocio. \-Comisión 3.5% \+CashBack 5% Efectivo final: 1,015 dls en mi cuenta fiscal. De ahí solo lo envío al broker y de esa forma pude comprar BTC con mi TDC.

Ok-Brilliant9930

Creo que quizá no me di a entender, es una forma de obtener "credito" para comprar BTC. El dinero cae a tu cuenta y de ahí lo metes al broker.

Everything is fine. CashApp approved my KYC in less than 24 hours, and my BTC is still with them.

JellyfishStill2690

Of course I have sold. When I first started buying I didn't know any better. When BTC hit $300 I thought it would never go any higher. So I sold a lot then. Little did I know. I've also panic sold quite a few times. Duh. Plus shit comes up too. Life never fails to throw one a curveball that involves money. Plus I bought into a few shit coins in the past. No need to name them. They're long gone now. Swapped my BTC for them. Big mistake! I wanted to make some quick cash. 😕 But now I'm never selling. (**fingers crossed**) For me it's about staking BTC when the right situations happen. We're not there yet of course. There definitely wasn't support like we have now too. I only remember a couple YouTube and Twitter crypto people then that have lasted until now.

Secret_Computer4891

I'm not sorry at all I missed it, and you won't hear me cry about missing it should it run to 1MM. I don't need BTC to do anything at all to get rich...I'm already there.

Secret_Computer4891

yeah, I know. The BTC "investors" I know really like to buy high and eventually cave and sell low. The non BTC investors I know either really don't think about it at all, or just can't figure out where it fits in their portfolio. I'm more in the camp where I don't own it only because I can't figure out how it fits in my portfolio. However, I've made enough money with other asset classes to buy Caribbean therapy for my "emotional damage".

Post is by: BarnacleNo8441 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ri2kbp/digital_credit_explained/ Digital credit isn’t just crypto speculation with a new label. Something structurally different is emerging. It’s built on three core pieces: Bitcoin being used as collateral, stablecoins functioning as settlement and yield tools, and companies holding BTC on their balance sheets while issuing structured equity and debt products. Each of these can generate yield — but each carries its own risks that need to be understood properly. I’m putting together a 180-episode series to break this down step by step, from basic definitions to institutional-level risk analysis. Episode 1 explains why digital credit exists and how it differs from traditional credit markets. I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback and suggestions. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

5 blocks. The block reward is still 3.125 BTC. A non zero chance of life changing money while also helping the network is pretty cool.

Willing_Gas7868

Fair take. Uncertainty usually suppresses aggressive buying. If BTC can’t reclaim key levels with strong volume, downside liquidity is likely next

themrgq

Very, very few people self custody on lightning. And people won't want to wait for BTC to settle and pay the relatively high fees. BTC isn't a network for small transactions anymore

heyheyshinyCRH

Why would the merchant need your ID to accept BTC? That's sounds really dumb

110010010011

I think the implication is that the BTC goes missing. It sounds like you’ve given your friends custody of your BTC which means they can spend it without your permission.

MF_Price

>Poor people... they could buy Bitcoin today and become wealthy in 5-10 years, but their brains won't let them... So if they're not already wealthy they're buying what, $100 worth of BTC, maybe $1000 if they're really willing to sacrifice in the now? You think that is going to make someone wealthy in 5 years? I appreciate your optimism.

I think even people that have Bitcoin feel that sense of regret. I threw away 2BTC on poker and NFL gambling back in 2017-18. Didn’t seem like a big deal at the time. I’m glad it was just part of my holdings, but I’d love to go back and change that.

Sometimes continuously. I usually like to set limit buys to ease my nerves. But, this and my general clown strategy has kept me from anything more than a 2x even till today. I have missed the following, even though I literally had the buy screen open in front of me: 1. BTC at about $250, in 2015 I think: I just kept waiting for it to go to $150, and forgot to track it after 2. ETH at $10, around Feb 2017: to be fair this was more of a technical issue that prevented me 3. ETH at $90 right around the start of the pandemic: setting a buy order about $10-20 below this, even when my model correctly predicted it 🤡 As you can guess, these continue to haunt me. Added to that, I've ended up losing more money than gaining out of this space. 10 years of looking at the price you'd think I'dve had a yacht by now. Fml. I want to avoid all that this time, and I know it's already a bit late to go all in but I can't miss this boat or I'll never forgive myself. As usual, I think I'll set a limit buy but maybe not be this greedy this time. How do I not miss the boat this time -- any strategies you fine people have tried out? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

All-in BTC = high conviction, high concentration risk. BTC yield usually means added counterparty risk. Sometimes holding safely is the edge

The algorithm does not use SHA256 but rather Scrypt which is wildly CPU bound. ASIC and GPU can still connect but they will not get 1000x advantages like GPU BTC mining nowadays.

110010010011

Could you explain your paper wallet system in a bit more detail? What exactly do you give your friends? If you’re giving them public/private key combos you’re spreading your BTC to several possibly unsecured locations. You’re also turning individual custody into shared custody.

Dangerous_Warthog603

I always found it's better to buy a stock that is the best in its industry instead of the second or third thinking they'll catch up. In addition the tax laws in the US are changing(not sure where you are)to include cryptocurrency profits being reported to the IRS. So you're better off not churning your account but HODL. You can try trading crypto in your IRA, I use IBIT for that to capture the short term moves in BTC.

TheresNoSecondBest

Let me try, mate To understand Bitcoin's worth, it helps to think of it not as a "non-existent" item, but as digital gold. While you cannot hold it in your hand, its value is derived from several unique properties that even physical cash does not possess: Absolute scarcity - unlike paper currencies, which central banks can print in unlimited quantities, Bitcoin has a hard cap. There will only ever be 21,000,000 BTC. Currently, there are 19,996,400 BTC in circulation. Anyone running a node can check the supply and the total cap from their mom's basement. That's impossible with fiat or gold. Because it is impossible to create more than the limit, Bitcoin is resistant to the inflation that often devalues fiat money. Portability and divisibility - gold is heavy and difficult to move across borders. Impossible to send over the internet. Physical cash is bulky in large amounts. Bitcoin, however, can be sent anywhere in the world in minutes. The (electronic) dollar can do that too, unless the sender or recipient is living in Iran, Russia, Somalia, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, North Korea, Belarus, Libya, Venezuela, Tajikistan.... Bitcoin doesn't care where you're living in, if you're black, yellow or blue, your gender or age. The network is open to everyone. A massive, secure ledger - think of Bitcoin as a giant, global accounting book that is guarded by millions of computers. This ledger records every transaction perfectly. Because it is decentralized, no single person, bank, or government can turn it off or change the numbers to benefit themselves. This trustworthiness is where much of its value lies. Market demand - ultimately, something is worth what others are willing to pay for it. Today, the total market value of all Bitcoin stands above $1 trillion dollars. People see it as a store of value, a digital vault where they can keep their wealth safe from the fluctuations of traditional banking systems. I've tried my best. If you need more explanation, r/BitcoinBeginners might be a much better place for this type of questions. If you'd rather read a book, Lyn Alden's Broken Money might open your eyes even better.

phil1rio

Still 21M, but 6-7M permanent HODL’r coins, so a great collective value storage for the entire BTC community. Like gold you know is in the ground, but will never be dug out, but still valued into above ground reserves.

mel2000

Thankfully, no loss. CashApp approved my KYC in less than 24 hours and my BTC is available and is now worth more than what I paid earlier. Too bad my BTC purchase was so small. I didn't buy it as an investment.

bankrollbystander

that’s a pretty big chain of assumptions. state level mining exists, but linking price action directly to regime strategy or coordinated suppression is a stretch without hard data. bitcoin’s moves are still mostly driven by liquidity, macro conditions, and large capital flows, not a single country’s reserves. if Iran held significant BTC and sold or transferred it, we’d likely see it in on chain data. I’d be careful building a bullish thesis on geopolitical speculation alone.

mel2000

> you typically won’t be asked every single time Good to know. My KYC was approved in less than 24 hours, but the product I wanted to purchase is gone. Fortunately, my BTC is worth more than when I bought it earlier.

steyMorgan

I’ve stopped trying to outsmart every new narrative. Most cycles play out the same — alts run, people chase crazy APYs, then money rotates back to BTC. Right now I’m keeping my assets staked on Coindepo with high interest rates upto 24% apy and no lock up period and letting them earn while the market moves sideways. Feels more disciplined than jumping around

Responsible_Mud6241

Well think about it this way. If you had 1000$ in BTC now, then you are better of buying 500$ worth of books than panic selling/not investing as much into btc as you would have otherwise. Either way, knowledge and a btc-focussed mindset compounds faster than any other capital.

mel2000

The merchant invoice expired and CashApp approved my KYC in less than 24 hours. My BTC is still available from CashApp for spending later. But the merchant product is no longer for sale.

Thank you to all who replied. CashApp verified my docs in less than 24 hours, and I saw that my BTC amount was still available for spending. I'm relieved to know that a poster stated that I shouldn't have to go through the KYC process again. Unfortunately, the item I wanted to purchase was no longer available. Fortunately, my BTC is now worth more than when I purchased it earlier.

Cevapi-Lover

What the fuck did I partly watch and skip? 12 minutes of this shit? Really? This is just a sad persons attempt to justify not affording 1BTC.

Ethan_brooks8225

You lost all your BTC but still giving buy advice? That’s wild.

Cryptocaller

It’s interesting how the benchmark keeps changing. I recall hearing this same thing when I first bought BTC at $2300’ish. “When this happens I’m all in” Just start buying more now, because what’s more probable is that the price runs away from you, and you never buy.

Educational_Care_156

If long term instability is in the future of the middle east, wouldn't this be good for BTC? Considering it can circumvent local governments etc? And also as a store of value?

Cautious-Lecture-858

Because there’s less overall money going in the asset. It’s just stalling. So yeah, it’ll go down until it finds new equilibrium. It may absolutely mean BTC never makes a new ATH ever again. But that’s the game. Especially when considering highly speculative assets.

Post is by: Seko96 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rhvl95/btc_update_0326/ **BTC Update 03/26** I will post a monthly update showing where BTC currently stands and what lies ahead. My analysis is based on the BTC 4-year cycle in combination with a multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. **Current Phase:** Bear Market * **Last Cycle High:** 07.10.2025 at approx. $125,000 * **Next Cycle Low:** 07.10.2026 * All MTF indicators on the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframe turned bearish on 02.02.2026 at $78,715, confirming a Bear Market **Market Structure** BTC is currently trading at approx. $66,500, inside what I call the **"Golden Zone",** the range of the previous cycle high from 11.10.2021, between $69,033 and $62,800. This area typically sees a consolidation phase before the price continues either lower or higher. A bearish **Monthly Fair Value Gap** has formed between approx. $68,000 and $75,730, acting as a potential resistance zone. **RTI Indicator** The **Daily RTI** (Relative Trend Index by Zeiierman on TradingView) has been in oversold territory since January 28th. The longer the indicator remains in this zone, the more likely a price increase becomes. The **Monthly RTI** has also been in oversold territory since 03.01.2026. Historically, this zone has consistently marked the cycle bottom. **Short-Term Outlook** Golden Zone acting as support → Daily RTI in oversold territory → Relief rally (rising prices) likely → RTI reaches overbought territory → FVG acts as resistance → Ideal entry point for a short position. **Long-Term Outlook** We are in a bear market until 07.10.2026. The ideal entry point for long positions would be on or around that date. In the previous bear market, BTC lost approx. 85% of its value; in the one before, approx. 77%. I expect a drawdown of approx. 70%, which would correspond to a price target of around $37,000. Historical patterns are probabilities, not certainties. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Still just a price argument + more slander. >Usage (barely 15k daily txes on a busy day) Yes, this has been the pivot point for p2p cash since Bitcoins inception. The BTC slander didn't help.

And again FIAT is secondary >Ownership decentralization (Top 100 addresses own 35%+ of the supply) It's better than most cryptos and only slightly worse than BTC, mostly because Maxis sold their BCH >Public endorsement (no IRL celebrity has ever mentioned BCH) Yeah no shit, everyone that did got brigaded. Sound money is too dangerous. This either works as bottom up revolution or it don't. Your are not telling everything new, you are just showing that you are an opportunist and not interested in a better system

the_rodent_incident

I should post the long-term BCH/BTC chart now, but too many people already did that already. I'm slandering BCH's price action, not the project itself. Project is solid. Community is battle hardened, as I've said before. BCH works and there's a few wallets available. But it SEVERELY lacks: - Usage (barely 15k daily txes on a busy day) - Being an inflation hedge (never reclaimed previous ATH) - Ownership decentralization (Top 100 addresses own 35%+ of the supply) - Public endorsement (no IRL celebrity has ever mentioned BCH)

the_rodent_incident

Sorry, it got rejected hard, and is now fighting to keep #11. Soon to drop below #15. Similar thing happens with every BTC / US Election 4-year cycle: BCH tries to get up, gets punched in the face, drops down. At some point it will be unable to get up, and that'll be the end. NANO path, drops below #300. And because BCH depends on PoW, it will be attacked by 2 dudes with a few antminers in their basement, just for fun.

Few_Connection_6618

BTC is now part of the broader financial markets and is considered a highly speculative asset. Come Monday the fund managers will begin off loading speculative assets, expect a dip below 60k

BuildWithJohnny

Going all in on BTC depends on your risk tolerance but historically it has been the lowest risk asset in crypto relative to alts. As for earning yield without wrapping or bridging options are limited because native BTC doesn’t have built in DeFi like Ethereum. The main routes are Lending via reputable centralized platforms (counterparty risk) Bitcoin backed loans (if you don’t want to sell) Running Lightning nodes (more technical modest returns) High yield usually high risk. If self custody is the priority sometimes no yield is the risk managed choice.

Generationhodl

"However, the crucial step is immediately posting those 2 newly bought BTC as additional collateral to your loan." I thought I did read here somewhere that not every platform does allow this? But I get your idea.

Generationhodl

"use your existing stack (e.g., 5 BTC) as collateral to borrow stables and buy 2 more BTC now" I saw that story maaany times on reddit over the years, didnt went well for most of the people But It was mostly because the platforms for the loans were busted / went bankrupt or people lost their bitcoin sitting on some strange websites. I also thought about taking a loan on my bitcoin but I already pay a credit off for bitcoin from my bank without having the risk of getting liquidated, so thats more relaxed for me because I just need to wait. I seriously would rather take a credit from the bank and buy btc right now and just pay back the credit for 4 years until btc is higher. No risk of getting liquidated or losing the btc.

CashApp likely froze the send pending KYC, so the BTC should stay in your balance rather than go to the expired merchant address. You should be able to resend after approval, and once fully verified you typically won’t be asked every single time unless something triggers a review.

systembreaker

You have fundamental misunderstandings. You seem to be confused about concepts like market cap, total supply, and generally economic concepts. I'm truly trying to help you understand, but you're dead set on arguing without listening. Your stubbornness is almost impressive. First let me point one thing out, you won't stop saying this idea of "people can keep dividing bitcoin". No, they can't, **THE LIMIT TO DIVIDING A BITCOIN IS 1 FUCKING SATOSHI**. Satoshis are analogous pennies for physical dollars, it is the smallest unit because the Bitcoin network enforces this. To your other um...words...what does 1 BTC give you over 0.8 BTC? **1 BTC GIVES YOU 25% MORE BTC THAN 0.8 BTC**. Say we make our own denomination that represents $1 million, let's call it "CHEESE". You're basically asking things like "What exactly does owning 1 CHEESE over 0.8 CHEESE give you? What can you do with a CHEESE that you can't do with a penny?" The answer is that, **1 CHEESE GIVES YOU 25% MORE THAN 0.8 CHEESE. 1 CHEESE IS EQUIVALENT TO 100 MILLION FUCKING PENNIES. YOU WOULD NEED 100 MILLION PENNIES TO HAVE 1 CHEESE**. What is the value of any unit of money? It depends on market perspectives. One is that its value is what you're able to purchase with it. Another is that it has a relative value to other currencies. Another is that its value depends on the total supply of dollars in circulation. Bitcoin has a supply. Markets exist where you can buy/sell your BTC and markets exist where you can trade derivatives, to give a couple examples. Each market gives BTC some value based on the market forces of that market. At this moment BTC has a market value of X dollars per BTC on spot exchanges. What the actual number is doesn't matter. Again to your question "what does 1 BTC give you over 0.8 BTC?" Well, if you sold right now at $X per BTC, **1 BTC GIVES YOU X DOLLARS AND 0.8 BTC GIVES YOU 0.8X dollars**. Lastly, **100 MILLION SATOSHIS GIVES YOU 1 BTC, AND 1 BTC GIVES YOU 100 MILLION SATOSHIS. THEY ARE EQUIVALENT** Counting your BTC in satoshis is like counting your dollars in pennies. I don't know what else to say bro, but hope I helped.

Comfortable-Half5165

Bitcoin will likely lead, but some altcoins can outperform it in a bull run — with much higher risk. Strong narratives like AI, RWAs, and ecosystem tokens could see bigger % gains. If projects like **RYO** keep building real utility and adoption, they could outperform on upside. BTC is the base. Alts are the higher-risk, higher-reward play.

ZenOfFool

BlockFi and Celsius should be a reminder of what happens when you're seeking yield on your BTC.

Libertarian000

0.1 BTC is better

ThulsaAmon

Say we live in the future where all BTC is mined out. Two people are selling- 1btc for 1mil. .8btc for 1 mil. What exactly does owning "1btc" over ".8" give you? There is 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis ever possible to be created. So people can keep dividing and buying / selling / storing wealth in these units to the point of that many. So again, how is owning a BTC important?

soozler

I plan on dumping. will buy again when BTC is four digits

systembreaker

Bitcoin can't be divided infinitely. There is a smallest possible unit that the network accepts, 0.00000001 BTC. But even if bitcoin could be divided infinitely, that wouldn't somehow make bitcoin have infinite value. As an analogy say there's a guy who buys water for $X per gallon. You can sell him 100 gallons for 100*X dollars, right? Now say you sell him half a gallon, you get 0.5*X dollars. For 0.0000001 gallon you get 0.0000001*X dollars. And so on. Let's say we can sell him an arbitrarily small fraction of water and he'll still give you X times that fraction of dollars. But one day you go up to the guy to sell some water and he announces "I have a new rule, the smallest unit of water I will accept is 0.01 gallon". Does this rule change the value of the water you sell to him? No, he'll still give you X per gallon dollars. It's just that he set a limit for the smallest amount you can sell him. Well, the bitcoin network was designed to accept a smallest unit of bitcoin and nothing smaller, a satoshi or sat. 1 sat always has the same value relative to bitcoin's value, just like how half a bitcoin is always worth 0.5 BTC, except that a satoshi is special being the smallest amount that's allowed to be used in a transaction. In general computers can work with much smaller decimals than 0.00000001, but that's irrelevant because we're talking about the bitcoin network which was designed with this smallest allowable unit.

ThulsaAmon

Lol'd at first statement. But think you're missing is a pie has a use case, and a physical value. One pie is useful for eating and providing x amount of nutrition and satiety. One bitcoin is completely speculative and with no actual use case or even physical existence. Thus, It can be divided up into insanely small units that a pie cannot be. Also, again, it's value is speculative and really contingent on the buyer. So if someone says "I want to sell 0.00001 of a Btc for one million" or "one dollar", it's not backed up by anything and just lives on sentiment. Thus have one BTC is not inherently more value than any other unit of BTC because (ultimately) it is finite. It is 100% speculative, tiny digital units.

systembreaker

It is absolutely true. The smallest possible Bitcoin is 0.00000001 BTC

Zestyclose-Cry-9969

To be clear before you read any further, I'm pro BTC and yes the supply matters. It's not the whole point, but it's a major point. Just do more research and you'll learn quick. Listen to old podcasts with Preston Pysch or Jack Mallers. This is a rookie question. Sorry to be blunt.

Patrick_Atsushi

Let's see if BTC will hold it when the stock market dumped :p

ThulsaAmon

Dude, use your brain. The OP is saying "How is owning 1btc so important". Well all up there's around 21 million BTC ever, then that can be divided also infinitesimally small so as price increases, it can just flow down to the decimal, of which there HEAPS. A Satoshi is 0.00000001 of a bitcoin, which means there is a lot more of a tradeable commodity than 21 Mil.

EvilBeanz59

How is it not if you can split it theoretically in infinite parts? Serious question. I have always wondered what’s stopping someone from getting .0000000000000(enter any amount of zeros)1 BTC? Etc etc…. Sure there are only X amount but even just one theoretically could be split up into so many small parts that you could almost call just even one bitcoin infinite?

ecrane2018

You’re looking at how the decimal points work. You are not dividing the BTC you are selling 8,000 satoshis the actual base unit of Bitcoin. Kinda like how you don’t have to buy a Troy ounce of gold you can a gram or an ounce or any other unit of measure. Gold is very divisible.

Visible-Structure-86

If you’re looking at “new coins,” I’d zoom out and ask: Is the token just inflation + marketing… Or does it actually do something structurally different? One project worth studying from a design perspective is RTRx (Reflectr) because of its Cascade system. Here’s what Cascade actually allows you to do: 1️⃣ Choose Your Base Rewards (Layer 1) Holding RTRx lets you select 1 or 2 reward assets out of 7 options (BTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, BCH + curated DeFi tokens). You’re not locked into a single emissions token — you choose exposure. 2️⃣ Provide Liquidity Without Losing Holder Rewards (Layer 2) Normally when you LP a token, you stop earning reflections. With Cascade, LP providers still receive Layer 1 rewards. So your capital can: • Sit in LP • Earn pool incentives • Still collect chosen base rewards That’s stacked yield instead of trade-offs. 3️⃣ Earn DEX Fees (Layer 3) Since it’s standard PancakeSwap-style liquidity, you also collect trading fees directly from volume. So Cascade lets you: • Earn BTC/XRP/SOL/etc while holding • Earn those same rewards while LPing • Earn pool-specific rewards • Earn DEX trading fees • Compound rewards like BCH back into the pool to increase position size There are currently 11 live Cascade pools, including BCH recently added. The interesting part is that volatility increases volume → which increases fee flow → which increases reward throughput. It’s not designed as a pump token. It’s designed as a liquidity engine. If you’re evaluating newer projects, it’s at least an interesting case study in capital efficiency and layered incentives. Do your own research — but structurally, it’s different from most “new coin” launches

Theoretically yes. If for whatever reason it became a currency and BTC continues to appreciate to significant enough value, then Satoshis (or sats) will be of a proportional value that they can be used to transact. So, 21 million BTC = 2.1 quadrillion sats. Again it's all theoretical at this point and assumes a few things that remain to be seen.

Does the AMOUNT of limited BTC matter? No, the number itself is arbitrary. The fact that it’s finite is what matters.

Get cash. Meet someone in person that has BTC. Show them your cash. They transfer the BTC to your wallet. You give them the cash.

Seems like BTC already recovered. I was able to get more BTC at 63,500.

If you’re looking at newer projects, I’d focus less on hype narratives and more on structure. One project worth researching is RTRx (Reflectr). It’s not trying to be the next meme cycle — it’s built around liquidity architecture. What makes it different: • Holders choose 1 or 2 rewards from 7 options (BTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, BCH + curated DeFi tokens) • If you provide LP, you still earn holder rewards • On top of that, you earn DEX trading fees (PancakeSwap etc.) So instead of “hold or farm,” it stacks both. They currently have 11 Cascade pools live, and BCH was recently added. You can compound earned BCH back into the pool, which creates an interesting reinforcement loop. It’s more of a capital-efficiency play than a hype play. Not financial advice — just something structurally different that’s worth digging into if you’re evaluating new designs.

There have always been sellers, those who are willing to part from their Bitcoin at a price. Just last year a whale sold 80,000 BTC which signaled this current bear market we are in and this is with Bitcoin’sbuilt in feature of absolute scarcity that this videos has repeated highlighted. I think the credit market built on top of Bitcoin will be massive because it will allow people to borrow from their Bitcoin without ever having to sell. That is when selling your Bitcoin isn’t the option and borrowing dollars becomes the option.. It’s something the wealthy have been doing forever and it will be the how Bitcoin owners build wealth. By using their wealth create businesses and create value and demand to get paid in Bitcoin no less. When no one is willing to sell a single coin because they would rather just borrow fiat, the price will squeeze.

BTC bounced back strongly a month after Ukraine/Russia blew up. We’ll see how it goes this month.

Yes, and it is. You think all these ETF issuers and "treasuries" actually hold the BTC they claim to buy? There is heavy speculation that they don't, thus artificially inflating supply and inevitably driving down price.

Wait there's paper BTC? Can't they just manipulate that?

The entire point of BTC is to be a digital replacement for gold with a finite supply. Hopefully some day people see its relevency for this purpose instead of choosing an inefficient paper ownership of gold that may or may not even have any gold behind it. Unless you hold gold physically, you essentially are doing the same as holding BTC on an exchange. I believe barely anyone actually holds gold physically so I don't see a modern use case for this.

Which only proves how dumb paper BTC is lol it abides by the five business day rules 

Awkward_Potential_

It actually makes sense to me. If the US bombing Iran on a weekend when BTC is the only thing trading, and we don't get a new low, doesn't tell you something, I'm not sure what will.

And BTC is stable? 🤐, please keep filling my sell orders

Oddly enough, BTC made its biggest increases under Biden. So "owning the libs" unleashed a leopard that ate their faces.
