When people stop trading and believe in something…. BTC 🤝 SPX6900

PotentTurnip

According to the BTC Power Law chart, we're around the bottom now. However, take that with a grain of salt.

Choppy sideways action until November then BTC will start rising towards 250k by 2029

My feeling is - everyone who owns BTC right now either believes that we are in the start of the bull market or is waiting to buy more on one "final" capitulation before the bull market begins in October. What that structure means - any actual dip in BTC will get bought aggressively. Even on high inflation news that makes a rate hike almost certain, BTC is flat. If there were going to be new lows in September, rate hike would be the catalyst. The market is shrugging it off right now. It's possible the macro environment deteriorates to a degree that we carve out new lows in December/January, but it feels like bad news is good news in BTC world right now. 30Y and 10Y at 20-year highs causing BTC traders to expect eventual QE. If war ends and 30Y/10Y fall, also supports risk-on. Either way says BTC up. Also, something I think 4-year cycle purists have been missing is that BTC traders have started to front-run expected cycle times. We saw fresh ATHs way earlier last cycle then in previous cycles. Also, the heavy sell-off in February seemed to be front-running the bear market. We didn't meaningfully move below the Feb low of $60k all year. I expect that dynamic to continue, meaning ATHs end of 2027/early 2028. No one wants to be behind the trade.

Use CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap for a quick dashboard, then use TradingView when you need charts. The important part is deciding what “movement” means: price change, volume, performance versus BTC, or derivatives activity can tell very different stories. For any headline that might affect a trade, trace it to the original source before reacting. Check the issuer or protocol announcement, exchange notice, SEC or CFTC release, or status page instead of relying on a screenshot or summary. Then compare the event with spot price, volume, open interest, funding rates, and ETF flows where relevant. Save the headline, timestamp, source, and your interpretation in a notes file. A news event is information, not automatically a buy or sell signal.

LukaBrasi87

Waiting for BTC to crash below 40,000. Will DCA more aggressively then and wait for the next cycle.

1. Never Sell 2. BTC Markets or Independent Reserve are the best platforms to buy in Australia

devCheckingIn

Dogecoin does have utility though. It's a proof-of-work network like BTC but with an inflationary supply (with a decreasing rate of inflation), meaning it's a cryptocurrency designed for spending and transactions. Now with stablecoins taking the spotlight maybe it's not so useful anymore.

GabeDef

Tether prints its own coins to buy BTC. It is a scam used to inflate BTC prices. Prove me wrong.

Worldx22

If BTC is $80k you can expect to pay $95k

ForVictori

In other words they rehyp your BTC? No thanks. I’ll stick with Ledn

Able_Breakfast_3314

But thats what BTC acts like...cash. You can send it anywhere you want without permission. BTC way easier because you can send it anywhere instantly. Having your BTC on an exchange is like having your money at a bank or brokerage. The institution or the government can stop any transfer they dont like

BlazingPalm

Would rather a normal BTC for cash loan. For that overcollateralization, you can do more advanced liquidation loss.

JimmySki6166

I own Bitcoin and have it stored in cold wallets. If someone holds BTC ETFs, and it’s on exchanges, they don’t have full control or ownership of it, correct? It is easier per say, instead of cold wallets etc, but I don’t see the point

Fun-Analysis-182

Exactly. Bitcoin's chain and rules were never touched. Liquid is a separate federated sidechain, and the real BTC that left was sitting in its peg wallet, released because Liquid's software got fooled into signing it off, not because anything in Bitcoin broke.

Reasonable_Band1536

Aren’t rates around 9-13% with a possibility of liquidation due to the volatile nature of BTC?

PeteyPab305

DYOR! Not a single person can answer this because no has a crystal ball. If inflation accelerates it could be $1,000,000,000 USD to 1 BTC or it could be $250,000 to 1 BTC there's so many factors at play for a fixed global unit of account, It could even be that 1 BTC = 1M Chinese Yuan, depends on what the global monetary system does. The thing that can be said with the most certainty is that it will be worth enough to buy a house a car and still pass along something to your kids. That I believe.

waltotheter

The genesis block had the times headline.. but there was no mainstream news of BTC back then.. in 2010 Slashdot did an article, that might be considered the "first" mainstream coverage

lobhater

This is why I think BTC will go up in value. It is the one thing that has always stuck out to me. Anonymous transactions was dubious from the beginning and has been proven a lie so many times. With KYC exchanges it further complicates things. But the one thing they can't tarnish is how many BTC will exist

Upset_Albatross_9179

I think this highlights two points that many people seem to gloss past or intentionally ignore in the crypto space. 1) Value / marketcap and utility **are not the same thing**. Often utility can drive value. Sometimes tokenomics and investment value is directly opposed to making a coin useful. But a coin that does something besides be a store of value well does not need to be a good investment or have a large market cap. One is gambling / investment, one is usefulness as a tool. 2) There's a difference between a memecoin and a shitcoin. Sometimes memcoins are shitcoins. But dogecoin has good fundamentals as a cryptocurrency. Its primary difference from BTC is its inflationary tokenomics. It's a decentralized proof of work coin. It's a real cryptocurrency, just not built around store of value or investment. Same as litecoin.

Charming-Animal-8856

Yeah, BTC is not the same but it's a slow grind lowerm

Just get to 0.21 BTC. After that it’s personal preference

One time I almost bought BTC. Good thing I didn’t, since I never Thad the opportunity to lose it.

Cash will be eliminated in our lifetimes. (Under 50 years). North Korea is well known to be printing large amounts of usd, euro and cad. South America, with Colombia and Peru being or concern are making huge amounts and we don't have any concrete answers to how much is being printed. There have been insane estimates from North Korea making counterfeit USD. First the banks will have serial number scanners that watch for the issue. Then we will quite quickly find out that the issue is far bigger than previously thought. Then people will wish they're holding BTC. It'll be messy and it's inevitable.

Queasy-Ride4291

 Considering over the last 5 years BTC is 13% below inflation, you may want to re-think your strategy. 

na3than

In 10 years 1 BTC will be a little more than 1/21000000 of all Bitcoin. In 20 years 1 BTC will be a little more than 1/21000000 of all Bitcoin.

richardto4321

If all you do is DCA, you're automatically "doubling down" in a bear market when you're buying at a 50% discount because the same amount of fiat gets you double the amount of BTC.

richardto4321

It's actually a great sign of how far BTC has come. When something like the S&P500 or gold moves 3% in a day, it's a huge deal. Too many people are hoping for huge swings like the early days of BTC, but that's actually not great at all for the asset if you consider the long-term and not just day-trading.

beastmanzx

I dk man, I bought an S&P position, that would have taken me 10 years to DCA with my job, with Bitcoin profit and BTC is still my biggest holding. Kinda an FU to everyone making fun of me for buying BTC for all of these years. Entry at a higher position than their life's work.

JakobBowser

I agree with you op, and like you I get downvoted when I try to help people here understand BTC is the only crypto with holding/investing in. Just stay the course and stack sats

Ok_Golf_6467

Alts have mirrored the economic contraction that has been happening the last 5 years. There we some lucky winners of course aside from BTC. **Some alts will catch and it'll happen fast in a month or 2 as we flip into expansion above 55

Traditional_Most105

The real answer is that nobody knows. There could be another altseason or there could be BTC and a few alts only dominating and the rest nothing or a completely new scenario nobody could think of. Speculation on whats happened before could also make it a self fulfilling prophecy so it could come again if people wait for it and act on speculation... In the end its what you believe and speculate... if you want the safer bet its either BTC or ETH. If you want the higher upside you go for the alts you believe in. You just have to accept whatever the outcome is... it might hurt either way. It might hurt losing money and it also might hurt selling alts that later would go to the sky and thinking what if i didnt sell... so choose whatever you want and accept its consequences. Just make sure not to put money you cant afford to lose...

pendulums123

This absolutely won't work in favour of OP who has a stack of BTC and is trying to sidestep tax. All the NGNL does is defer a CGT charge until you end up with GBP.

Tebasaki

Better can reuse your BTC while they hold it, they just have to give you the same amount back later unless they can't, then they won't So this is like fractional reservation but worse in some ways because you don't get a cut on the btc you lend

Random_Person_246810

They all inevitably trend to zero against BTC. Remember that when investing in doodoo coins.

Lost_Anywhere_69

Lemmi know when I can do this for the entire purchase price of the house AND sell the locked up BTC to pay of the mortgage if MY BTC suddenly 10x’s

randominternetanon6

Yeah if they can use your BTC, that means they can go bankrupt and you’re fucked. People’s Reserves is a much better option. They put your BTC in a separate entity that is separated from bankruptcy. For the 1:1 BTC to loan mortgage, you get your full stack back after the loan is paid off. For the one where you just cover the down payment, they get a cut of your BTC once it appreciates enough to pay off your mortgage

Obviously assumes BTC will go up.

That's why BTC is the answer

KomorebiParticle

> What would have been cool is if you could just buy a 400k house for 1 million in Bitcoin that you just keep on Coinbase and have the house essentially for free at that point. How would the house be for free? lol you still have to pay the loan back, the BTC is just collateral.

polymath_uk_

It's correct up to the line "Your BTC goes into Better's custody on Coinbase.". Unfortunately the line should read "Your BTC becomes Better's on Coinbase.".

ryancalavano

Holding your btc until the full loan is paid off is insane. The BTC loan is just for the down payment

TheWraith2K

BTC heading straight to 80k... I don't even know if that's up or down anymore.

The hardest flex in crypto isn't a Rolex, it's a cold wallet gathering dust in a safe while BTC hits new highs.

Hi! I'm running MostroEuropa, an independent Mostro community focused on Europe. We've just been testing p2psats with a real live MostroEuropa order and noticed that it isn't showing up in the EUR order book. The order is currently available: SELL BTC, 10–100 EUR, +5%, with Revolut / Wise / SEPA Instant. MostroEuropa publishes its orders through Nostr, so I'm wondering if the issue is simply that p2psats isn't listening to the relays our Mostro node uses. I'd be happy to send you the relay list or the raw NIP-69 event so we can check it. We'd definitely like MostroEuropa orders to be discoverable through p2psats — the aggregation you're building is exactly what small P2P communities like ours need. https://mostroeuropa.github.io/

1000-1250R a month in Nubank R Bond. It’s what 14% APR rn? The rest into BTC. You can also divide that up and convert the R to USDC and stake for 3.4%? APR if you want exposure to USD. Nubank IIRC also gives you Exposure to EWZ and VOO if you want to go along those lines. My wife is Brazilian and we put away 500-750R a month into the Real (Reis?) Bond.

The hard part is whats happening right now, which is nothing, on purpose, for hours, while two charts do absolutely nothing. BTC and ETH both channeling, no structural change on either. ETH's putting in what could be a higher low, showing a bit more strength than BTC right now, BTC's got more rollover risk if it cant hold. Could go either way from here honestly, thats not a call, just whats actually on the chart today. Took me way too long to stop fighting this part. Used to feel like dead time, now I actually enjoy it, because I know exactly whats mine to control and whats not. My setup criteria, my size, my stop, thats mine. Where price goes after, never was. Thats why I read adopted stoicism, not only as a personality thing, as a practice. You accept the loss before you even take the trade, so when it hits your stop its not a surprise, its just the distribution doing what distributions do. Same with waiting, you're not missing something by sitting still, the market doesnt owe you a trade just because youre bored. Livermore said it best a hundred years ago, it was never his thinking that made him money, it was his sitting & it still true. Nothing in my life feels late or rushed or out of order to me anymore either, took losing basically everything twice to actually fully grasp that one, but I do now, fully. So tonight I just wait for the best setup I can find and act when its actually called for. Thats how I get paid, everything else is noise. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I started to dig more into what happened in previous cycles. I think I may have jumped too quickly to the conclusion that 59k was definitely the bottom. It might still be the bottom, but I don’t see it with the same certainty anymore. I initially thought a drop of only 50% would make much more sense in following past cycles. I thought the only reason past cycles dropped more than 50% was because of events like FTX. But BTC was already down 72%. FTX and Luna brought it to 77%. I also thought that because bull cycles dropped so much in intensity, bear winters would also get equally milder, but they’re actually not. The bounces this year to 96k, 84k, 81k, are very similar to the 2018 bounces to 12k, 9k, 8k.

Hefty_Half8158

Bought in 2014 and left in a Blockchain.com wallet with all the details on my laptop. That laptop was stolen from my home in 2018 and it took a few days for the reality of what was lost to sink in (I hadn't thought about BTC for years). When it did I spent days trying to remember my Blockchain.com password and get back into the account. Luckily I managed and moved the BTC to a different wallet. Really made me think about how I secure my information!

Same, me and a friend had a part of our BTC on there and we both withdrew before the bankruptcy - it was a gut feeling too. Im never doing yield again no matter the concept around it

You cannot escape owing CGT by law if you sell your BTC regardless of venue. You can PERHAPS escape discovery of tax fraud in the \*near\* future by selling elsewhere. In the more distant future, HMRC will contract with some third party who will use AI to track wallet addresses from exchange datafeeds to HMRC, find all the people who avoided tax and bum them. Expect the penalty for clear dishonesty to be absolutely eyewatering. You can borrow against your BTC. You can short BTC in a CFD if you can find a provider. You'll need collateral - potentially quite a lot of it if the price rises further. But when you close the CFD your gain/loss on it and the change in gain/loss on your owned BTC will match; it's effectively a sale at the price on the day you short it. If you have a spouse can you transfer BTC to them and use their CGT allowance (your base cost transfers to them as well) to sell some more. Advanced level, and what I actually did, is transfer your owned BTC to a futures exchange - Bitmex was good but is now closing, Binance works but don't think they take UK customers, Deribit may be an option - and short a far-out BTC future using your BTC as collateral. This has the same economic effect as a sale; you can't be margin-called as your BTC is the margin; when the future settles (or you close), your gain/loss on the future will match your gain/loss on the BTC. Your funds are at-risk on-exchange. Or you can expatriate. If you follow the rules and don't return to the UK then your tax residency ends when you leave the runway - you can literally mash the sell button from your seat on the plane. Better hope it doesn't divert to a UK airport or return due to a tech issue though :-)

dream_system_99

I mean that BTC price has always correlation with M2 money supply. when M2 money supply increase, BTC price go up. my question actually invite all BTC investor to examine their conviction, when M2 money supply increase but BTC price does not go up, will they still hold BTC and what other catalyst to make BTC price go up?

I would say, Dollar cost average into BTC and SPX6900, keep it clean and simple ✨

Bitcoin and SPX6900 if you ask me…. this is coming from a BTC Maxi

quintavious_danilo

This might not help you directly right now, but I’ve been 100% invested in BTC since 2022. Do I have any regrets? Yes, that I didn’t buy more when the opportunity arose to get in below $20k. Is it risky? Yes, it’s a volatile asset, and I wouldn’t go "all-in" at an all-time high. But we’re currently far from the ATH; so if you get in now, there’s a strong chance your investment will never, or at most, only for a few months be in the red. I was lucky enough to time the 2022 bear market relatively well. Since then, I haven’t seen a single day of losses on my total investment. Sure, my most recent purchases fluctuate up and down with the market, but my overall holdings have consistently been in the green. My point is: this is a great time for such a major decision; you’re lucky that we’re currently at low levels. It’s a bit of a "now or never" situation. Good luck!

chainglance_cm

It doesn't matter which platform you sell on, HMRC taxes the disposal itself, not the exchange. So "which exchange" won't change your bill at all, and most major ones (Kraken included) now report to HMRC anyway so they'll know. Real legal ways to reduce it are... a) spread the sale across two tax years to use two £3,000 allowances instead of one. b) If you're married, transfer some BTC to your spouse first (tax free between spouses) and let them sell using their own allowance too, effectively doubles it to £6,000. c) Also check if you've got any losing positions elsewhere you can crystallize to offset the gain, and heads up that the 30 day rule kills any "sell and rebuy quickly" trick, HMRC will match it back to the same pool and ignore the disposal. Beyond that there isn't really a loophole. Crypto gains are treated exactly like shares now at 18/24% depending on your income. Worth looking into a tool like Bitcoin.Tax or Koinly. They make this way less painful since they tracks your cost basis and pools automatically instead of doing it by hand in a spreadsheet. But if you don't have a lot of transactions and diversified holding, you should be fine without one.

US can control dollars. US cannot control BTC. Therefore BTC will not replace dollars. I still think BTC is the most ideal form of money. Humans need it. But deep down Humans don’t want it. They want control. BTC doesn’t let them control.

never_safe_for_life

Well there was a single exchange that listed them. A small startup that felt they could use the exposure. Then the BIP-110 guys harassed them because they refused to list it as BTC. They were so toxic the exchange decided to wipe their hands of the whole affair. So, I guess you can try to find an individual who'll trade with you directly LMAO. These clowns

YaAldrich

That makes sense. No need to force an entry when you’re not convinced yet. If BTC keeps ranging here, gradually averaging in sounds more reasonable than trying to time the perfect bottom. I’d probably do something similar and keep some cash aside in case we get another deeper pullback.

ubermensch1001

To be honest, man, I'm not really super excited about buying super heavily here. I want to see what plays out over the next month or so, might throw in half of these funds or just dollar cost average into BTC at a steady rate if we stay in this range.

At around $77–78k, I’d personally still keep BTC as the core position rather than go 100% into alts. You already did well accumulating in the $50–60k range, so there’s no reason to get too aggressive now. I’d rather keep most of the BTC and use a smaller portion for selective alt positions if the opportunities look good.

jimmytug

It doesn't get discussed because spending wisely and saving is just common sense. Owning Bitcoin should not be how anyone learns the value of investing and spending wisely. BTC has been and still is a high risk / high reward investment. I made money on it because I have owned since 2017 and am still holding. But it did not "change the way I look at spending" and it should not. The way you look at spending should be governed by simple common sense.

ubermensch1001

He isn't the only one, there were several other posters on here that were arguing with me about this. This was a reply I made to another poster more or less arguing with me about the same thing pertaining to buying ETH vs. ADA right now. "Let's say we go into 2027; the market is starting to get into a bullish environment and BTC is trading at 90k+. Let's say ETH at this point is trading at 4k, so a little over a 50% move from here. What do you think would happen with the rest of the alts? In this environment, do you see ADA at best matching ETH's performance by only being at 30 cents? Very short term price action is impossible to predict and pointless. For instance, in the fall of 2024 ADA was trading around 35 cents while ETH was at a similar price to where we are currently, about $2400. After the 2024 election hype ADA traded as high as $1.30 while ETH peaked at about 4k. I'll use XLM as an example from that same time period. Right before the election it was trading around 10 cents and then climbed above 50 cents at it's peak, so a 5x. A weak example would be LTC, it was around $65 and peaked at a little over $100 in this same time period. Another one is Bcash, both of these had very little price movement for years leading up to this, at least relative to the rest of the alts out there. The whole point is that when we do get bullish phases with alts, ETH leads and many of the alts with smaller market caps will OUTPERFORM it. IF someone were looking to do this, they need to be able to identify the correct time to be buying. I'm not saying people should do this, the point is that when ETH pops hard relative to BTC the broader alt coin market follows along even stronger. It has nothing to do with fundamentals of the coin lol. If you aren't aware, virtually all alts, including ETH, are primarily driven by hype and speculation. Picking the horse that runs the fastest is honestly going to come down to luck. What is NOT luck is identifying when these alts are low and where they could be making large gains for profit. What you are seeing now is NOT a bullish phase in the market, it's a bear market rally. This is not the same as the Q1 2024 ETF pump, the Q4 election pump or the spring 2021 alt season. When this occurs again, and it will, you will see what I'm describing here play out."

I think the most used chains have a chance, since they have real world use, revenue generation etc. That's the bottom line. They're treated like companies now with backers, vc etc... so look for the coins with the best product and funding. They'll survive. Same as the TRON's and XRP's of the old days still alive.... IMO I like , ENA, XPL, SUI, HYPE (not in any order as they all kind of touch on different future areas.) So in short the bets for Sui lets say working on A.I agentic scaling blockchain and finance tools, will be different than the market XPL is going after with their set of everyday neo banking products etc. I personally think XPL and ENA are primed and in great real world markets with actual products, and low marketcap relative to those products and their utilities. HYPE is ... well hyped... and Sui is awesome team and tech, but yet to find their product market fit, or accelerate their unlocks to get rid of their shit tokenomics. Keep an eye out on their october Sui basecamp for updates... But hey, Final word is this ... if BTC crashes to 50k , none of these thesis will matter. If BTC stays relatively strong however, then yes, give the next 1-3 year bull market a chance to sort out these technologies and winners. Alot of their success is almost irrelevant to how much money is in BTC anyways.

BTC will drop like everything else when the margin calls come.

Not crazy at all… just redrew on our mortgage to buy more BTC. Benefit of redrawing on the mortgage (in Aus) is that the interest on that portion of the loan is tax deductible as it’s an investment, problem with being in Aus is that when we sell to pay off the mortgage we’ll donate 47% (of the profits) back to the govt 🥴

Just go into BTC if you are a first timer

Always go for BTC and ETH.

People are almost priced out of buying one percent of a BTC. Eventually people will wish they bought one percent when they could. It’s never too late to buy in. $pep will be volatile. If you look into it it’s really cool. Community is dope and reminds me a little of early Doge. Hold that for a very long time and if it works out you’ll be very glad you did. Same goes with whatever else you buy

Oh no! It's just your anecdotal evidence against mine! Except for the fact that 33%+ of entire BTC supply hasn't changed wallets in 5+ years. Either you only know scammers or you're lying. Good thing we can verify that onchain!

Brother, investing in crypto is not for the faint of heart. The space is rife with scams that you can easily fall victim to without even knowing it. You probably already have a bunch of DM’s claiming to be support simply from the comment I’m replying to. Crypto is self custody. This means you are in control all of your crypto assets and where they go. If you fall victim to a scam whether or not you know it, it’s gone. There is no getting it back. Getting a really good grasp on how crypto works takes years of learning with mistakes along the way. If you just plan on buying and parking your BTC, that’s cool, but be aware that the ups and downs of crypto are insane to conventional investing. Your $4,000 might turn into $1,000 or it might turn into $10,000. It can happen in a blink of an eye and you may panic. My best advice to you is that I hope the $4k you invested is money you’re ok with physically burning. Invest money into crypto that you’re already ok with losing. That’s the mindset you should have because when the market tanks, it **fucking** tanks.

75% BTC, 25% movement coin like spx6900 for some excitement

Nobody's asked the actual question: is that $100 a week money you can afford not to see for a few years? Coming out of the mines with irregular income that matters way more than which coin. A first timer who buys BTC with money they need in eight months still sells at the worst moment, and then the coin choice was irrelevant. If it's genuinely spare, weekly buys into BTC and ETH is the boring right answer and you can ignore most of this thread.

The Big Three BTC SOL ETH - also HYPE

My two are BTC and SPX (SPX6900). My crypto portfolio are mostly those 2. Study both before buying though.
