BTC

u_spawnTrapd

Interesting breakdown. Market cap can make BTC look huge compared to some traditional commodities, but volume tells a different story. Makes you realize how context matters when ranking these things.

No_Film8853

I really really do not understand China and the Hong Kong thing. Is it just a playground for the really rich communist party grifters to hide their money and evade the rules for the rest of China? Zero capital gains on something that is officially banned? Makes no sense. Or is it a trap to get people to bring their BTC to Hong Kong so they can later confiscate it pointing to their policy of having banned it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

They missed the opportunity to buy BTC 4% cheaper just a few hours later.

altFINS_official

BTC after moving sideways for weeks, price broke out of a Channel Down pattern, which signaled a bullish trend reversal. We would be buyers on pulls back to $88K support, with +12% potential upside back to $100K resistance near-term. We at altFINS are bullish on BTC short-term.

RandomPlayerCSGO

Converting an asset that has recently been on a downtrend to an asset that is at ATH is stupid, the time to convert BTC to gold and silver was when BTC was at ATH and gold was on accumulation phase, now that gold is a ATH and BTC is on accumulation phase it is time to do the opposite

nicky_thermos_dick

Right. Although for people who get panicked to dump US dollars/assets, what looks more like a bubble to you Bitcoin or gold silver and precious metals? I don’t believe metals are a bubble as currency is collapsing but at some point people will likely feel that BTC is the cheapest option if metals keep rocketing

CryptoBrown87

Buying BTC is easier and more useful than finding a girlfriend 🤣

Distinct-Speaker5435

For stable coins, yes. But not for the reason why most people are in this sub (“random coins or even BTC going too the moon”). Crypto and crypto are different things.

mystiqueshaco

I am DCA'ing $2800/week, distributed to: BTC - $2100 ETH - $500 SOL - $200 I am focusing on long term DCA, I do not plan to sell, I plan to utilize my BTC in long run. I also have strategy for dips you might be interested, just adjust it to your risk appetite. It triggers on BTC price: 86-84k - $8k dip buy ($6k BTC / $1.7k ETH / $300 SOL) 78-76k - $22k dip buy ($14.5k BTC / $5.5k ETH / $2k SOL) 74-72k - $12k dip buy ($7.5k BTC / $3.5k ETH / $1k SOL) 69-66k - $7k dip buy ($4k BTC / $2k ETH / $1k SOL) I am trying to keep my portfolio balance to 80% BTC / 12-14% ETH / 6-8% SOL. Every drawdown I am more happy because I can buy coins cheaper. With your money I would seriously consider DCA'ing BTC.

Internal_Resort5451

Solid lineup, just a bit heavy on SOL for a long-term portfolio. For a 5-year hold I’d personally tilt more toward BTC/ETH for stability (maybe 30–35% BTC, 25–30% ETH), keep SOL around 20–25%, and use the rest for higher-risk plays like RNDR and TIA. DCA monthly is smart. Biggest advice: don’t overtrade, rebalance once or twice a year, and don’t chase hype mid-cycle.

Inevitable_Pin7755

You’re 18, supported by parents, and studying medicine. That’s basically the lowest financial risk phase you’ll ever have. Going heavy on BTC can make sense if you accept volatility and don’t panic sell. DCA is the right approach. That said, 100% in anything is still concentration risk. Even a small S&P 500 allocation gives you psychological stability when crypto dumps 50%+. A simple split like mostly BTC with a bit of index funds lets you stay aggressive without blowing yourself up emotionally. Biggest mistake at your age isn’t being wrong on assets. It’s selling early or changing strategy every cycle.

uncapchad

quantum is the new "bitcoin is bad for the environment". Wall Street analysts barely understand how Bitcoin works but of course it's good for headlines when they dump BTC and site quantum as the reason. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon because all markets are driven by fear these days. Yes work is being done at many levels as this is a collaborative activity across many agencies. Wallet providers pose a risk only if they store or expose public keys insecurely—for example, in third-party apps that track balances or manage keys. If such apps are compromised, attackers could gain access to public keys and later use quantum computing to steal funds. So legacy addresses for e.g. Another reason to not re-use addresses Testnet is already out [https://www.ccn.com/education/crypto/bitcoin-2t-risk-btq-technologies-quantum-proof-testnet](https://www.ccn.com/education/crypto/bitcoin-2t-risk-btq-technologies-quantum-proof-testnet)

Zaardo

the day to day price doesn't really matter if you believe the long term of BTC is up, it could hit $10k tomorrow and I'd just put some more spare change in. it's spent money untill I retire. then I'll take it out at whatever price it's at in 2050 or whatever

ImDeepState

The people that sell BTC think you should buy more.

Actual_Pattern_265

[Silver chart looking healthy.](https://postimg.cc/D4LCP7h1) If the BTC chart looked like this every headline on planet earth would be talking about a bubble and impending disaster. This chart is actually MUCH more concerning than a crypto bubble, yet no headlines other than "wow, look at silver go! how cool is that!?". Haha.

Ill_Swimming_8296

Nice detective work dude, those rankings sound about right from what I've seen floating around Though tbh the whole "commodity" classification for BTC is still kinda weird to me since it behaves more like a speculative asset most days

av6344

Bc you clown you can come close to having zero BTC but you won’t run out of it even if you keep mining forever. At which point the energy becomes the limiting factor. Imagine a future where your wealth is determined by decimal place of coin in your custody.

jwz9904

gold and silver are too expensive. Buy BTC, it's fixed supply and easily to hold.

Arbeke

I'm very happy to die on this hill. Fiat is a scam and going all-in on BTC is a great way to point that out for people.

SwissPrivateBanking

Cashing out large crypto positions can be surprisingly difficult even for legitimate holders. This is especially true for early adopters who used multiple exchanges over the years, including platforms that no longer exist. Even crypto-friendly banks remain highly cautious due to regulatory pressure and historical associations with illicit activity. In many cases, the hardest part isn’t converting crypto to fiat it’s getting the fiat accepted and deposited safely without triggering a freeze or rejection. A few things are critical to prepare in advance: \- Document your entire transaction history and provenance (sometimes going back a decade). \- Maintain a clear audit trail of wallets, counterparties, and exchanges. \- Anticipate complex compliance reviews that are often misunderstood by front-office staff. Without proper preparation, it’s common to face weeks or months of delays, repeated document requests, or outright refusals. One overlooked problem: early wallets are sometimes flagged as “tainted” because of exposure to exchanges like Mt. Gox, BTC-e, or Cryptsy. Blockchain forensic tools such as Scorechain assign risk scores to this historical activity even if all funds are perfectly legitimate today. Addressing this requires clear documentation and, in some cases, assistance from a regulated intermediary who can contextualize the forensic hits. I work professionally in this space (Swiss-regulated financial intermediary) and have helped clients manage these exact challenges from tracing the source of funds to onboarding with private banks. Happy to share more detail if you’d like.

0x_Crypto_Pirate

You are young and doing all-in Bitcoin is a strategy I would do if I am in your position. I love your strategy of consistently buying whatever the price of BTC is, which makes you a believer of Bitcoin as the future. Don't forget to buy your first hard drive. Keep your sats in cold storage as part of your strategy

Jessyy97

Better than holding worthless USD, which is getting printed day after day. I'll trade it for BTC when the price rises.

nitroxxz

I am aiming for ETH, due to volume of transactions, if we talk about bypassing USD in trade +++.. But i see the point for BTC as well, it just dont scale well enough if everyone jumps.

Aggravating-Buy-1695

I’m buying $20 worth of BTC every single day for the next 5 years.

doinkdoink786

How do we know if it’s a modern day address? I bought BTC in 2021

Mantis-Prawn

BTC is meant to be freedom money, not the other way around. 

Mantis-Prawn

No. The average buy price of their BTC holding is just above 66k. They are still up.

Fit-Poet6736

make sure to get some BTC as well

Real-Technician831

Bagholders are saying that Bitcoin is undervalued. Since BTC has had a rather dismal value development for high risk asset for past 5 years, it’s a surprise that BTC is this high. BTC barely outperforms stock indices, which are way less risk.

Overall-Fold-9720

"Chatgpt, hallucinate me data for a graph. Use my 1000 previous chat to find which is my sentiment towards BTC, and as a good people pleaser, make the data STONGLY hint that way"

Glittering_Pick_9738

Don't get me wrong. Dropping from the top is normal and expected. Bitcoin has been doing that many times in its history and would always recover. Nothing noteworthy here... except for the fact how weak BTC 126k top was. It was so weak, short and fear-ridden that many people completely missed it. 

friggleriggle

I think it's "digital gold in the making", but it's not that yet. Needs way higher adoption and to survive another global crisis / war or two before it officially takes that title. Right now people feel too uncertain about it, so it trades more like a start up tech stock. WW3 would be very bearish for BTC in the short term, but bullish in the long-term assuming it (and the planet 😆) survived.

MistarMistar

I ordered 3 BTC for $75 each, printed the confirmation and and to the bodega to send the cash via Western union... but got sketched out about sending $150 cash, so grabbed a Arizona ice tea went home and cancelled the order... Very much regretted chickening out on that, especially when FOMOing in over the years most recently when it was over $100k... all these years later DCAing and not even close to 1 BTC yet, and the canceled order for 3 BTC for $150 forever just sitting there.

DangKilla

You’re imagining being wealthier than you are. None of it happens if you don’t hold. You treated it like currency and that’s fine. I also had a few BTC. I was also a millionaire from Nvidia if i stick with your logic

wtftocallmyself

Use bitkey. Accumulate BTC into it then deploy the inheritance feature to secure their future. Too easy.

Mack_Mimsy

You’re not alone. Every old head I know has a similar story. I’ve heard some heaters too. This one dude could have bought his own private island by now. Another mined 300 BTC on his laptop and panic sold when it dropped from $3.00 to $0.30. With the deflationary nature of Bitcoin everyone who spends will have the same stories for the rest of history. But if we spend into circular economies (preferable) then we are contributing to the true nature of bitcoins creation and we can rest easy knowing we’re contributing to an electronic cash system that’s outside the control of government. Keep your head up. Sometimes doing the right thing hurts.

PureRely

Look at this BTC is back to 87k. Look like I was correct about the bears not needing to make noise.

Busy_Rich266

0.6 BTC would be worth $52,647 today, not $76,000

Pure-Jackfruit-95

Depends on lifestyle and where you live. For a comfortable retirement, think ₱15M–₱45M. If BTC hits ₱10M/BTC, that’s roughly 1.5–4.5 BTC. Key isn’t timing or Lambo money, it’s long-term DCA, patience, and using BTC as freedom insurance, not the whole plan.

GreedVault

BTC is definitely undervalued, even my cat knows that.

SwimmingPatience5083

Also the quantum fud is not going away ever, it will continue to weigh on the risk profile of BTC

ForgotMyNameeee

This is the last time to buy BTC below 100k

whataboutbenson

You could be waiting until 28/29 to see a large run up again. Not saying don’t do it, but just be prepared to be in the cold for a long time. And stick to quality assets. At least some BTC. Tbh you shouldn’t only invest in crypto, its future is uncertain.

Seattleman1955

Women are right. The BTC is just to get the women, just like cars and houses.

Myles_Standish250

Right now I have just 1% of my net worth in BTC but I have about 5% in crypto so I’m heavy on the speculative side. I’d rather not say what my net worth is but suffice to say it’s well above average for a 40 year old American.

loupiote2

If bitcoin armory wallet can only secure bitcoin, then the deposit address was a BTC address, not a XRP address. No wallet will let you send XRP to a BTC address. Therefore, your story makes no sense at all. What you describe cannot happen.

Does this sub really think BTC will replace the dollar I find it hard to understand given that its value is measured jn dollars.

JediRebel79

You have enough of everything else lol 100% BTC, before it takes off again

Not this stupid shit again… Not every millionaire even wants a BTC, they’re millionaires after all, they’re already rich. I don’t know why people took this “there’s not enough bitcoin for every millionaire” idea and ran with it.

crazy_lolipopp

Rao Paul is still probably thinking BTC will go to 100k before Feb 🤡🤡🤡

Icy-Patient-1880

For 5 years, your BTC/ETH split is solid. That part is hard to argue with. The only thing I’d question is SOL being 35%. SOL is strong, but it’s still an ecosystem bet, not the same category as BTC/ETH. If the goal is long-term survival + compounding, I’d probably flip it closer to BTC/ETH heavy and keep SOL slightly smaller. Something like BTC 40%, ETH 30%, SOL 20%, and the rest in smaller conviction plays could reduce risk without killing upside. Render and Celestia are interesting, but they’re still higher volatility and trend-driven compared to BTC/ETH. Also, if you’re investing 10% monthly, your biggest advantage is consistency. Don’t over-optimize allocations every week. Set rules like rebalancing once every 3–6 months, and avoid chasing whatever is pumping. If you hold through multiple cycles, staying calm matters more than picking “perfect” percentages.

Muddy-Waterz

Bro they have parents that cover any expense. Big emergencies don’t even worry about. But I would still recommend holding a certain amount of dollars at any point just to have it. Like maybe $500 for anything you may not want them involved with ? BTC should be a savings

Over_Entrepreneur100

Yup I already know, but thanks for the reminder that I missed out and should’ve bought 1000BTC before it blew up

Unbalanced_Acctnt

I have no idea what it will do, but have conviction that it will succeed in the long run. I don’t consider myself a maxi because I do carry other investments since I will hopefully retire in the not too distant future. I don’t have the risk tolerance to hold everything in a single asset. I try to keep Bitcoin separate from my portfolio when I think about allocations. To me it’s a different asset class that is currently volatile and not very predictable, but could eventually be more a savings and money vehicle than true investment. I stack sats when I can and believe they will grow in value over time as adoption grows. I don’t worry about or try to guess what that timeline is to get to a certain price in USD. Frankly, the next step in my learning curve is to learn to use it for small regular purchases. I saw btcmap.org in an X post and located some businesses near me that accept BTC. I’ve downloaded the Aqua wallet app and am going to start using it on occasions at retailers who accept it. Just part on my learning curve and an attempt to help increase adoption as a form of money. I don’t have any influence or control over the price of BTC, so I try not to let myself worry about price fluctuations. Although it is more fun to watch when it’s running higher.😁

pablo_in_blood

This - nothing worse than the feeling of selling BTC at a bad time because you have no choice. Keep your fiat debt low and keep enough cash (or gold or something, I suppose) to cover emergencies. Your stack will thank you later

Little_Willow_326

Sell all BTC for the precious things you can, like him gold. The whales are going to pull a rug move when it's time.

ivan971

That's fair and a valid point. Now I could say okay instead of 5 years let's do only 3.5 years, then BTC return to date would be closer to a 3.5x to 4x

Grunblau

Either BTC was a 15 year liquidity sponge to keep everyone out of precious metals… or we are about to see some rotation into actual useful collateral for modern finance. No in between.

Accurate-Chest252

Theoritically 0.3 BTC per millionaire if no bitcoin was never lost..

Mr_Mnply

Bachelor in Psychology and an MBA in finance and international business, 35 years old, work as a healthcare consultant. I believe there will be a big push against fiat currency over the next decade; not just the USA, but worldwide. In the end, I think BTC and other (functional) crypto will be the main use to get paid and complete most transactions. I think that due to geopolitics, functional use in electronics, and distrust in crypto, there will also be a number of people using precious metals as a form of barring for other goods, think when you'd normally use cash like garage sales, paying for the neighborhood kid to cut your lawn, etc.

OkEmu7082

BTC is the "savings account"

Choobtastic

It’s buying time!!!! BTC!!! 

Veronica_JW

BTC and crypto markets have always been cyclical, with periods of outperformance and underperformance. Just zoom back out and see for yourselves. Do you want to buy when others are greedy or fearful?

Deep-Cryptographer61

When the markets and the world is volatile, and nations and people panic. What do they do first? They get rid of risky assets like NVDA, BTC and anything speculative and start worrying about the future. It is human nature

Veronica_JW

You should work towards owning 1 BTC. There are only 21M people who can own 1 BTC. In reality, much less when you account for whales', Satoshi's and other missing wallets.

Carbuncle2024

All I suggest is that if/ when you purchase IBIT you keep a note of the price of BTC when you bought it bc IBIT price is not the same ac BTC. If / when you add to the IBIT fund later, you can then determine your average cost exposure to BTC. 😎

nicholasCageSucks

Gold 5 year return: 175% BTC 5 year return :150%. Fuck i hate a world in which Schiff is right. Fuck this shit

nugymmer

When "Stoneman" and "Sadpuppy" BTC stacks (and also one anonymous address with 8000 BTC from 2009 that has never moved since) suddenly start moving, you'll know we are in REAL trouble. Keywords 8999 BTC, 8000 BTC. Keep an eye on those, since the "Sadpuppy" BTC amount, even though the user mentioned it in their post, is not an easy number to remember, whereas 8000 and 8999 are easy as cherry pie.

Monsterinvestor1

Gold isn’t money anymore — it’s a store of value. Very few people buy physical gold to use. They buy it to hold, hedge against inflation, and protect against failures of fiat systems. Nobody walks into a store shaving off flakes of gold. Same logic applies to Bitcoin. Expecting BTC to function like daily cash misses the point. Value is social agreement + scarcity. Gold has no magical property that makes it “worth” money. It’s: scarce hard to produce durable hard to fake widely trusted That trust took centuries to build. Bitcoin compresses that process into decades using math, cryptography, and network effects instead of metallurgy and empires. Strip away the mythology and it’s the same human behavior playing out in a different century. Bitcoin fits the digital age better than metal does. We live in a world where: wealth moves digitally ownership is abstracted generations trust code more than institutions So a digitally native store of value actually makes more sense than vaulting heavy metal. Gold is hard to move, hard to verify globally, and dependent on physical security. Bitcoin is portable, verifiable, and borderless. That’s not hype—that’s structural advantage. Gold or silver or any piece of metal can be valuable if we deem it to be valuable. Paper money works because people believe tomorrow it will still work. Bitcoin works because people believe the rules won’t change—fixed supply, predictable issuance, decentralized control. That credibility is rare. I am not claiming Bitcoin will replaces everything I am saying it will become one of the most important assets that anyone can hold. Especially for a generation that grew up digital and skeptical of fiat systems If gold is the ancient store of value shaped by history, Bitcoin is the modern experiment shaped by technology. Whether it fully succeeds or not, the idea it introduced—provably scarce digital assets independent of governments—doesn’t go away.

pablo_in_blood

The reason it’s different is that every other form of money can be debased by printing/paper IOUs/etc. Yes, even gold. It’s not that BTC is _merely_ scarce, it’s uniquely scarce, and also has specific functions and properties (ie permissionless cross-national transfer) that other scarce things do not.

Overall-Fold-9720

Literally half this sub said 6 months ago was the last time you could buy BTC below 100k lmao

UT_NG

Really? I thought a Satoshi was the smallest BTC unit.

Jyouzu02

Uh were you sleeping at $120K BTC? If you bought when you should have (in ‘22) you would have hit an 8x return just this past year. Yeah that’s over 3 years, but what’s gold doing these days? 2.5x in the same timeframe? I’ll buy more once it drops more. Actually please keep dooming it bc I’d like another discount.

AmazingfurnitureCT

Oct 10, Gov Shutdown, Japan. BTC hasn’t changed, it on sale

Sweaty_Camel_118

While I mostly agree, there's another perspective. The world is clearly moving away from using our controlled usd as a means of exchange. I think it is very likley that these nations are buying up precious metals to create a currency that has a real backing, possibly brics. If this is the case, gold and silver could both continue to run. One could argue they have been incredibly undervalued because the world has been valuing fake, unpacked currency and that is changing. I am not putting all my eggs in one basket. I am staying diverse. But I'm certainly not afraid to sell a bit more bitcoin to buy gold. I still have BTC as a significantly larger portion of my portfolio than precious metals. Additionally, look at the history of gold when it goes on a run. If it performs the same as it has in previous runs, there is room for more growth.

Vipu2

Crypto yes, BTC will keep ticking 1 block after another.

Vipu2

Time to buy more when $87k BTC is in the "it have failed" moment.

Manateeboi

BTC has no top because FIAT has no bottom.

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

I really look at Tether's mcap to feel things out for what's making the crypto market bouyant. Tether hasn't really printed for the last 40 days, which is VERY uncharacteristic compared to the last several years. There were a couple weeks starting in mid-Dec 2024 where there was no constant slight growth in supply of USDT, and a blip in July 2023 too. Other than that, it's been a slow and steady climb. Once USDT starts to grow in capitalization again, we're going to see significant gains in BTC's price. Frankly, I'm amazed that it hasn't gone down significantly over the past month, considering Tether's stagnation.

tobenvanhoben_

You didn’t fall out of love with “digital gold” you fell for the slogan. Bitcoin isn’t gold. It has no intrinsic demand base, just “next buyer pays more.” Mining costs aren’t a value floor (they’re sunk costs), and scarcity is not store of value. So BTC trades like a high-beta risk asset (tulip dynamics), while gold behaves like a defensive commodity with real-world demand.

Pianoguy_SW

No, crypto will remain: we ARE seeing a wider adoption all over the world, and BTC is higher now than all-time high in the previous cycle. Most of the doom and gloom atm is caused by one man: Donald J Trump. His tariffs-on, tariffs-off game is creating an atmosphere of uncertainty where nothing is certain and nobody dares to invest. The world is even losing confidence in US treasury bonds, for the first time ever. Gold prices are skyrocketing, meaning that investors are losing confidence in the financial system as a whole, and prefer physical assets like gold, who will retain their value irrespective of how reckless a government behaves. I prefer to lay low and wait for the most part. The Orange baboon in the White house will die soon enough, and when he does, the fin. markets will have a rally we haven't seen in a very long time.

Jaded_Look_4044

Let me ask you this: Can you realistically sell hundred of hundreds worth of gold in a split second? Can you bring all of your gold with you if you were to flea your country for some reason? Is gold really a scarce resource, even though it seems like we are discovering/mining more and more of it? Thats why I only buy BTC.

Hot_Philosopher3199

Best. I'll have more BTC

All4fund

China controls ~90% of silver either through mining or refining and on Jan 1 they made it a commodity of national interest that cant be exported without government approval (their new bargaining chip).. microchips, batteries, solar panels and many other essential items still need to be manufactured. The inelastic demand is running into an extreme supply shortage… causing a price run up in silver. Thats not a narrative that’s global economics and a geopolitical trade war. BTC going down as it is… 🤷‍♂️ harder to explain but probably due to Japan raising rates therefore tightening global liquidity pushing speculative investments down. I feel like btc needs a PR firm to step in and teach the masses what it’s potential is and show the path to global wealth for everyone… for the people by the people… if everyone globally started trading in their currency for btc we would ALL BE WEALTHY.

Exotic_Cantaloupe_96

Lots of shit happening around the world at the moment. If global situation stabilises and uncertainty is removed then all the profits from gold and solver goes back into stocks and crypto. If things get worst gold and silver go up another 500% and stocks and crypto get wrecked (BTC suffers the least). What do you bet on?

Hot_Philosopher3199

Minnesota, Tariff Tantrums, Gvt Shutdown. BTC is showing you what the market will do tomorrow

Legitimate-Nobody499

I don’t understand this explanation and I see it a lot. Aren’t there lots of things that are scarce? I’m not disagreeing that BTC is a store of wealth and I expect it to be a long term play (I have a few) but being scarce alone does not make it the next “base layer of wealth”

Demonyx12

So it’s all permanently over for BTC from this point forward? You'd recommend full reallocation from BTC into ETH, SOL, and XMR?

No-Masterpiece2246

Not really. Innovation has ended *on BTC*. Other coins are carrying the torch. BTC will remain a Wall Street plaything and a mostly useless collectible for some time. Small gains are possible but longterm the growth will happen on coins like ETH, SOL, and XMR, that have utility and innovative concepts behind them.

esiob12

Withdrew 12% in November and paid off a lot of the mortgage so I can DCA into BTC harder. Withheld 50% in taxes. Getting a big refund to stack with.

Big-Ad2651

That need trust, but without rules there is lies. USA promise the world its curency would be back by phisical gold. Nations trusted. Then narative and rules changed, all they where left with was paper and new promises that they had to trust. BTC is trustless, I can ''verify'' the rules and every bloc.

Hamachiman

OP makes good points. Similar points were made about silver not long ago. It’s all cyclical. I own BTC, and also precious metals. Fiat currency is losing trust by more and more people.

Big-Ad2651

The price is not important if you bet on the core/concept of it. As long the mecanic function and is the better ''fiat exit option'' avaliable/imaginable, BTC will do what BTC have been conceptualize for.

OkRadish2611

Here is why I think BTC goes lower. I'm expecting a 58K 3 month chart- 20 day moving average is at 58.9k 1 month chart- 50 day moving average is 57.7k 1 week chart- we are sitting at the 100 day moving average. Signs point down. The 200 day moving average sits at 58k. Could be wrong but I'm gonna wait on the sidelines until I see something see something different.

ThatMBR42
