That’s 3 million coins. Impossible BTC to $400!
I'm just curious. Selling BTC means buying something. If you're selling to cash you're investing in USD. Not trying to be a dick, just laying out the question.
I had a small amount of BTC in a cold metal wallet and moved it to Kraken time ago. I like to have it there cause I also use Krak debit card and gives me some refunds when I use it. Like I said, it's just convenient specially if you are dealing more than just BTC. Again I'm not talking 50K, far from it.
Are you okay with the idea of having all of your investment and savings drop by half over a week if Trump makes some deranged social media post about Bitcoin? For people where crypto is part of a larger portfolio, a swing like that isn’t meaningful if it’s 5 of their assets. If the stock market crashes however, it’s taking BTC along with it because speculative and liquid assets are the first to get sold. If BTC crashes, it won’t necessarily do anything to the broader market. It BTC goes nowhere in the next 30 years, would you be okay knowing that €6.5k could have been €100k+ after compounding while BTC barely kept up with inflation?
The whole crypto market is connected by automatic trading systems and basically all altcoins are connected through Altcoin/BTC and Altcoin/ETH pair. That's why everything rises or crashes at the same time.
My shit has been on Gemini exchange for over 7 years… my BTC being lost is not even a thought in my mind - that’s how much I worry about it. And I’ve got several hundred thousand on there.
I believe that BTC will go back to 100k till December. This is my bet which I might lose though.
Decide on a % allocation to BTC just like you do with your index fund. In my case it is 10%. I even just buy the etf holding btc. Then only touch it when you buy monthly or rebalance when % allocation is out of wack.
Devalued fiat for inflated fiat priced BTC is why i usually pay for Bitcoin
Check bc1qg4jcyumevszta3rs869v9jrf6rz9z360svpo3jsl5xcryfd7xqvs4hurnq, it does not have any BTC
What’s up with all the anger..? Fella made a mistake for asking the opinion of those in a BTC subreddit about which direction BTC is heading, maybe he’ll learn to take that nonsense elsewhere.
Well, I'm using ByBit. Anyway it preferable to use foreign card in it. Especially after new laws of government about crypto legalization, when I'll be forced to use only certain platforms on the approved government list after September 2026. Vexl should entry this list yet, LoL. If doing legally, my crypto assets would not be decentralized. I guess they want only to get tax, because in Russian terms crypto is the same financial assets like bond, bank deposit or estate. There's no differences and should be declared in special depository. There's one advantage that I could use judicial protection. And cash-BTC exchange is strictly forbidden of course
I believe it's all about gambling. I'm gambling too with BTC.
Literally none of them, with the possible exception of ETH by virtue of being the biggest and for staking which BTC can't do.
Sorry, I got tired of holding my 1million BTC since 2009 and decided to take some profit.
It's very possible that a lot of BTC/crypto volume is just fake, done by exchanges to look more trustworthy and interesting.
Pretty sure they’ve confiscated billions of dollars worth of BTC already.
What are you blathering about? There is no BTC corporation!
If you don't have $50 million or more invested in BTC, don't even bother asking. What do you want to do about it? If you don't have leverage, there is no point. Just enjoy the ride.
I’ve been in BTC since 2014, why is this surreal? This is a pattern I’ve seen at least a dozen times.
I do exactly the same, for the same reason. But I have my BTC spread across no less than four exchanges.
I get that but it's not like BTC are on my name either way.
Cramer's post on X, Something about now is a good time to buy BTC
I mean a lot of people probably shorted BTC near the top end of September/early October and those helped drop it like a rock.
sorry but did i read “dumb ass kids and this wife thing i got hanging around” 💀💀💀 you’ve locked in incredible gains dude. BTC isn’t going anywhere, you don’t need to marry it. you’re starting a new life and can jump back into investing BTC slowly when you can start doing that again
You don't have to explain shit to this people. They are gambling on meme coins and buying BTC that has worse bank run than fiat bank run lmfao. Just buy, hold, stfu. Let these people suffer. We pros follow the math.
Is this a fucking joke? BTC price movements because fucking Jim Cramer says something? At what point will cryptobros admit that everything about crypto is nothing but delusional?
A couple of years ago I would've disagree myself, that's implied in my first comment. I learn them deeply because that was the plan for a long time just to realize I didn't want to. Also I'm not managing 50K but like a 20% of that so if I had a full BTC I'd go the method I think is safest. Also I have other coins so again, the conveniency of it!
Bro this is not about FOMO. At this point in BTC life cycle, no one is FOMOing into crypto. They just want to a good time to get in is. Everyone on this subreddit knows its when the price is low. But most people are not this subreddit.
Can you say more about the tax burden? Maybe there was a taxable event to sell the BTC to then buy the ETF? I’m kind of with you on your sentiment and might follow suit.
This dude wasn’t talking about BTC. Hate on “crypto” all you want. Crypto = Shitcoins, crypto =\\= BTC.
lol, there goes the dream of BTC replacing regular currencies. Years ago people were fantasizing about using BTC to pay for gas and groceries. 'It's the future, man!'. All people care about now is - buy low, sell high.
Source? Look around you? Doesnt global economical events bothers you? And don t you think they re going to affect BTC price?
I don't think that Russian money could affect the Bitcoin price so much. I live in Russia and there aren't many ways to buy Bitcoin inside of country because of restrictions. You need to open foreign account in pro-Russian banks to get opportunity to buy BTC freely. In case of using Russian account to buy in P2P it may lead to its blocking by government like suspicious. In my opinion many Russians take their money from banks to cash it.
This would been more appropriate for when Germany sold its BTC in 2024. MSTR still has tons of BTC left.
I think the high $50Ks are becoming less likely unless something seriously breaks. BTC just pushed into the upper $70Ks after absorbing months of ugly macro, and now ETF demand is coming back while the dollar has weakened. I still expect pullbacks and a lot of chop, especially after a move this fast, but the question has changed. We’re not waiting to see if BTC can get back to $74K anymore, we’re watching whether it can hold the mid $70Ks and turn this into a real trend toward $80K and eventually $100K+. I think the bear phase looks a lot closer to ending than starting.
When BTC gets way overleveraged like it was, price tends to move violently at some point. Maybe the yield thing was a catalyst, maybe it wasn't. That's just conjecture. And by the way don't be surprised when it moves down to do the same thing to all the overleveraged degen longs. Step 6 is the only way to be
Just got the explanation for why it went up. But no idea why it dropped: "The U.S. bond market really does have a problem. The 30-year Treasury yield rose to around **5.34% this week, its highest level since 2007**, while the 10-year yield moved above 4.7%. The Treasury then responded by announcing that, starting in September, it would double its buybacks of long-term bonds from around $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation. But the market interpreted it like this: **T**reasury buys back debt → tries to push long-term yields lower → the dollar weakens → concerns about dollar “debasement” increase → gold and BTC become more attractive. And that is exactly what happened. The Dollar Index fell by around 0.8% after the announcement, gold jumped more than 4%, and BTC moved from around **$64k to above $79k** in just a few days."
No. But if I end up being deported or in refugee status I hope to be able to convert BTC to the local currency to help establish myself.
Didn’t say that. Just said I’d rather trust them then risk making one error in cold storage and losing all my BTC forever
Russian outflows are small relative to daily BTC volume. Real, just probably not the driver.👍
Silk Road days definitely count 😅 Do you think you’d start spending BTC again if it became more mainstream?
Coffee with Bitcoin and sats back nice combo. Do you find yourself choosing places specifically because they accept BTC?
Yeah, that’s a major downside in the US. Do you think you’d actually spend BTC more often if the tax reporting were simpler?
That’s pretty close to living entirely on Bitcoin. What’s been the hardest thing to pay for with BTC?
Because BTC is the only one that isn't a scam.
Exactly this. The valleys and legendary peaks associated with BTC have more than cemented it as a strategic investment, rather than alt cash flow currency in the minds of most people I've encountered... at least for the time being. The writing is on the wall with worldwide digital currency becoming mainstream when considering things like USDC, but imo it's quite a ways off. Even with that, BTC will always have a branded pigeon hole to crawl out of.
No. BTC reaches 300.000 dollars, i am out with my new car.
BTC CFO was allegedly caught embezzling. He claims the BTC was lost in a yachting accident. Two coeds are corroborating the alleged story. For anyone concerned, the yacht is doing well.
Terrible, they only have 840,000 BTC left, 4% of the supply that will ever exist.
In this cycle, it's actually daddy XMR (Monero) and daddy LINK (chainlink). easy to verify- just look at the charts. XMR + LINK had mid-August gains, BTC and all others were August 19th
Bought ~0.24 BTC in the last weeks before the pump. I'm more than happy. I'll let it sit for 10-20 years but would eventually buy more after selling my alts later on
It's all a casino and the house makes the rules. It goes up when they want it to go up, it goes down when they want it to go down. Depending on how you define 'retail investor ' only about 15 percent is owned by those in that category. If defined more loosely, maybe 60 percent (at best and these people don't give two sh*ts about BTC as something special). The minority isn't making the charts shoot to the moon and they aren't dropping it to the center of the earth. Everything is a gamble as to what the people sitting at the top will do and how fast you react. Just another speculative asset doing what speculative assets do.
You're just promoting your website lmao, nobody uses BTC to book flights
If you genuinely believe in BTC and now have the funds then go for it. If you are after a fast buck then don't waste your money, there are easier and less risky ways to make a quick buck.
Good luck. I tried to move a small amount of BTC last night from Coinbase to a hardware wallet and had to jump through a bunch of hoops because they said it looked like a scan. After completing all the MFA. I had to scan my ID, then do a video with my face and voice, then a whole chat with an AI agent where they asked me a bunch of questions. All for it to fail. This was to move $50 - test transaction.
I thought the publicly traded part was a clever litmus test too so I used Voyager. That didn’t go so well. I’m now strategizing for publicly traded companies that’s also a brokerage, so will have MUCH more oversight and generally have the right internal departments and culture that would prevent any BTC shenanigans. Robinhood is a good example of this.
BTC is the only one with a fair launch and fair network/system. All the other crypto are at worst outright scams and at absolute best unfair in some way to enrich specific parties.
Many people were waiting for what looks like a sustainable bottom to the bear market. They didn’t know if BTC would bottom at $60k or $35k. Once they believe a bottom is in, then the thinking is “It’s only upside from here even if I missed the first 25% of the move.”
Just buy it. $5000 at current BTC price will get you around 0.065 BTC. If BTC hits 500K, you’ll turn the $5000 into $32,500.
The squeeze was the accelerator, not necessarily the fuel. The real test is whether spot and ETF demand keeps pushing BTC higher after the forced short covering ends
I use STRIKE to store my BTC and use a credit card to buy everything and at the end of the month Stike converts my BTC to fiat and pays off my credit card bill....so basically everything
That’s actually hilarious and true in real life. Every person you see that hasn’t invested in BTC yet,, next sucker. BTC will eat them like a sink’s garbage disposal grinding up a tomato, when BTC price reaches 420million69 .
Babysitting and getting my nails done. I love showing my support for BTC merchants
>keeping it as savings Saving in Bitcoin is "using it" too. Anyway, here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm using Bitcoin almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.
Honestly, I don’t comment much but I found exactly where to put my comment. I’m not saying that’s not overkill, to buy a trezor over $50 worth of BTC. Had I bought 10-15 years ago, when I found out about BTC, I would have no regrets. I was too busy with grammar school to check the charts and there was no such thing as that back then anyway for quite a few years. Then I started asking Google how much Bitcoin is worth, every time I started a new job. I just couldnt keep one under my belt, and because I’m human I totally ignored investing and I spent on frivolous stupidity. I’ve watched BTC grow from obscure GPU mining rigs in Asia, I just never bought in. I would have only had less than $500 to play with in BTC, but having read the white papers the same moment I was introduced to BTC, and immediately wanting to invest in it as a tool to connect with my grandfather, I do regret not buying. However I still believe that with time, the priceof BTCwill change a lot. So this 60k to 90k jump is supposed to be nothing. All of this to say I have no BTC, but I love BTC, and I’m one of those people with no SATS (because I’m poor and just sold them a couple weeks ago to fund life) and it was less than $300 anyways. But I’m not sure if I’m a clown in the space just for having no BTC at all. Seems like you’re only cool if you have compounding gains in BTC. I mean, yeah that’s true but I’m jealous of myself version that did. But just be thankful you have time in the game, if you do. BTC is life BTC is love BTC is laugh
My BTC goes directly from purchase to my cold wallet.
As a Surgeon, I got a surgery paid for with BTC a couple of months ago. That’s the only real-world use of BTC I’ve seen first hand. Personally, I am just hodling and hope to sell some of it in a couple of years
They didn't. I exchanged back to USD, paid taxes, then paid the dealership. I had cross shopped a Kia and Superior Kia in Orangeburg SC did accept BTC through a coinbase wallet to wallet transfer but after inquiring it wouldn't work well anyways. Due to titling, registration and lemon law requirements by paying in Bitcoin you would jeopardize your consumer protections because there wasn't anything set up at the state level at the time. So if anything was wrong with the car title or it became a lemon you'd be screwed so even if I had gone that route I wouldn't have paid directly in BTC.
Feels good when I read a post that is “I bought MARA” and I have no clue what MARA is because I learned to go solid BTC from previous runs.
But if you never spend or use them to exchange into fiat at one point, then what exactly is the point of BTC for you? At one point you will have to do either to benefit from it
Yep and I sold at a pretty good time too back in April 16 2021 when BTC was $61k. Afterwards BTC trended down and it gave me the opportunity to buy back everything I sold for cheaper over the course of 2022 and I've been dollar cost averaging weekly ever since. So now I have more Bitcoin than I did before the car purchase, and debt clearing
I buy everyday. Doesn’t matter if BTC is $0 or $1M I’ll be buying
Uuugh dude I KNOW! I wouldn’t have bought a bigger house lol but I’d for sure have some more BTC
Thats a pretty interesting mix. Do you mostly donate directly in BTC or convert it first?
The house is mine and BTC will always be there. The thing is, while others are paying back their BTC loan AND their mortgage I’ll be buying BTC like I have been for the past 10 years. Yall act like it’s not gonna be there next year with the capability of going up again for another 10 years
BTC is also gambling, just not for fun.
No regrets. While others are paying their mortgage and paying back their BTC loan illegally just be buying BTC like I have the past 10 years. BTC will always be there and will always go up forever
ETFs +28,610 BTC for the week. Not bad.
Can’t predict life! I got two kids who now have a house that’s paid off and I still have the capability to buy more BTC. It’s going up forever and will always be there. Houses are going up forever and will not always be there
I’ve been holding for 10 years, while others are taking a loan out on their BTC to pay a mortgage they can’t afford I own the house out right and still have the capability to buy more BTC. Those who take a loan on their BTC have to buy back their own BTC while paying a mortgage. I just have to keep buying like I’ve been doing the last 10 years
Nice. Sounds like you got the best of both worlds paid off the debt and still kept a solid BTC position.
A 2022 Toyota Highlander Platinum AWD. It's no lambo by any means but it's no car payment on a $55k vehicle. No regrets whatsoever and i have plenty more BTC to hold for the long run
I recently just bought a house using BTC too but I wouldn’t say I used it, I sold for fiat and then used that
How do you get a BTC debit card? Theres tons of places where I can get cash with USDT (or C) without any KYC.
I buy weed with it all the time, a lot of plugs will take BTC if you just ask. I also have used it as rent payments (when I was living with my brother), and any site that allows it especially if there is a discount for using it. I try to use mostly fiat when spending and BTC for saving but I think it’s fun using it ever so often
I took a hard look at this not so long ago and the interest is also paid in BTC - anyhow I decided I didnt like it much - I would prefer to take 4% of one coin for 25 years or something like that. I am excited about new and innovative prodicts and options for BTC monetizing and will keep my ear to the ground.
This conversation already breaks the first rule of BTC: Never tell anyone about your BTC.
The idea that all this coins are unique is wrong. Nobody cares what utility a coin has. Its all FUD vs FOMO and all shitcoins react to BTC movement.
Travel is a real use case for me. Being able to spend BTC directly on flights and hotels instead of selling it first is useful enough.
Not the same. I just sold a small amount of my stack in tax lots to only sell at a loss and I transferred that money to my checking. Tell me again that’s the same as people’s BTC that was stored on a Cold Card and now is in someone else’s stack.
Fair point. Is there anything you’d actually consider worth spending BTC on?
More or less technically its Fiat Purchase how it works is i keep BTC on there and then when I use the card it sells the BTC in that moment and converts it into Fiat but yeah works the same as any other bank card more or less
Does using a BTC debit card feel as convenient as paying with a regular card?
Why would I spend BTC when I could spend inferior fiat currency?
