I spent way too much time recently trying to crack a 1 BTC puzzle and I'm officially questioning my life choices.
Someone bought 10,000 Bitcoin in 2011 for $7,805 when BTC was trading at $0.78. He survived multiple crashes and held for nearly 14 years without touching a single coin. Then in 2025 he sold it for over $1 Billion, making a 128,205x return.
Why Litecoin is always left out, despite being one of the big 3 from the start, stable as ETH through all these years, and one of the oldest coins out there?

Multisig and time locks are different things. I would not time lock anything at all, especially for far into the future. Things change, and locks might become garbled and unspenable. There are variations to multisig the "firms" can offer. In basic setup the "firm" only has one part to give to your family. The "firm" can't spend anything with just the one part it holds. Your family will have another part that they get from you. Your family can't spend without the part the "firm" has, and cannot get it from the "firm" until whatever conditions you set up are met. For example you're incapacitated and unable to function. Or dead. It prevents your family from having the keys, spending your BTC, and playing dumb saying they got hacked, or blaming you that you got hacked or you spent it yourself. Also, the "firm" might handhold your beneficiaries through how to use their 2 parts to get access. They might be clueless. And properly and legally set up transferable on death title of ownership. Your millions of dollars worth of BTC get a stepped up cost basis at the time your family gets it. If they just have a seed phrase they inherit your cost basis. If you got in cheap they will be liable for much higher tax bills when selling. If you have a way to pass on the seed phrases and hardware wallets and passphrases and instructions to people who can figure it out, well do that. But also consider that legally documented TOD setup could save them a lot of money in taxes. You do have to set it up all legally and formally, and when you die it will reset the cost basis of BTC your family inherits.
Good. Once all these leveraged positions are liquidated, BTC can begin to grow again.
Assuming not a troll, tough to give an accurate answer based on many factors, the biggest being location. Idk anything about taxes outside USA but assuming USA, you can sell up to $49k annually (increases every year) without paying cap gains. Sounds like you have roughly 40 BTC minimum. If it were me, I’d sell enough for 5 years expenses and take that tax hit. Ride the rest and sell up to cap gains limit each year thereafter
No. Websites. Simple coding. That is all child's play nowadays. You need to do something that is worth BTC. I suggest physical labor. Learn a trade (plumber, electrician, framer, etc.).
Yes, and he’s saying that your money isn’t safe anywhere, so there really is no good place to store it. Currency BTC is the most secure, as long as you’re not susceptible to social engineering.

>If you think your money will be worth less in the future, you invest it into things that produce actual economic growth or you spend it. This drives the economy. If you think your money will be worth more in the future, you are less incentivized to spend it, and this can lead to a feedback loop of a contracting economy. This is completely wrong. The logic here is completely destroyed with just a few examples: Laptops go down in price if you wait a year, yet people buy millions of them every year. In 1980, a 10 MB hard drive cost $3500. Today it costs pennies, yet they continue to be bought up in the millions every year for decades. The price of these goods go down every year, yet people still buy them... your logic is completely broken here. If the thing I want to buy (car, hard drive, computer, anything) brings me more value now versus waiting a year, I will buy that thing now. It's an economic calculation people make every day and it can't be explained by your nonsensical logic that lower prices over time disincentivizes spending. It's borderline stupid what you're saying here, but I would love to entertain you explaining this away with whatever mental gymnastics you can conceive. >If someone got paid in bitcoin during the period of 2021-2023 and had to actually live off of that, rather than speculating it will increase in value in the future and choosing to invest in it, the deflation would have fucked them. I've been living off it since 2021 lol. Do you not know how it works? All savings paid in BTC, all bills paid in cash. I still keep 6 months emergency fund in cash. This isn't complicated. If you have a big stack, you could get paid 100% in BTC, pay bills with credit card, then pay credit card by selling btc. If price takes a down turn, you can write that off as a capital loss and pay no taxes. >It is extremely obvious that I am not the one misunderstanding money here. You are confidently wrong on this one. It's obvious to everyone else here you do NOT understand money. >You just said you have not spent any of your bitcoin, and that the goal of it is money which is what you use it for. This is contradictory unless you mean the goal of it is to resell it later for real money. This really underscores your misunderstanding of money. Money has 3 functions. The first function of money is store of value. Money cannot be a medium of exchange without first having this function, which bitcoin undoubtedly does. The second is medium of exchange, and third is unit of account. Bitcoin does all 3. It's mostly used as a store of value currently because it's still in price discovery, but eventually it will be used for all three functions. Just because I have not spent it yet does not mean I am not using it as money. Holding it is using it. There's no contradiction or conflict here. I also use it as a unit of account. For me the price of houses have decreased over time when priced in bitcoin, and even though housing would continue getting cheaper for me in the future vs now, I chose to buy a house now because it brings me and my family more value versus waiting another year or more. See what I did there?
I sold all of my BTC in 2011, paid off my house, and have been living off of investment income ever since. Not working doesn’t feel good, so I have had a few businesses along the way. But if I wanted to walk away from my business now I could do it in a heartbeat without fear So my advice to you is YES! If you can cash out and not worry about money again, do it.
Incorrect. Not if you compare its ATH to the S&P at the time. Cherry picking BTC during it's winter lull is disingenuous. The BTC ATH in October 2025 was $126k. The price in October 2016 was $700. That is an increase of 18,000%. The S&P has never had that kind of return.
I have a Roth IRA that I buy mutual funds with so I do plan on maxing that out at some point but I’m still prioritizing BTC at the moment

Lol and then we wonder why BTC hasn't caught on with the masses.
The only balance you need is BTC‘s balance in your wallet
At some point I yolo'd all my retirement accounts into grayscale, then the ETFs when they came along. Sold those on the way down at $102k. Now ready to buy back in. BTC in cold wallet still chillin' in parallel.
I'm a bear and I welcome this pump. It was too risky to sell in the bottom. Now I have finally the security margin I was waiting for. As soon as I see BTC rejecting its closest resistance level on the daily chart, I will start shorting your shitcoins mercilessly. 😉
I had some BTC on Coinmetro which is an exchange I have used for years. I put it there after an email hack and nervousness as to whether I had ever compromised my seed phrase so I moved it whilst I set up a new ledger. It was meant to be there 24 hours and it got stuck. It took me a month, a load of fees, and many sleepless nights to get most of it back and into cold storage again. I actually had to sell a bit as well which I just don’t do. Coinmetro has now - 2 months later - suspended all deposits and withdrawals and admitted it got screwed by a liquidity provider. If you ask all the people who stored their crypto on the exchange if it was a good idea you would buy a cold wallet tonight. If my situation had happened just a few weeks later I would sitting here hoping the Estonian courts find a way to give me a few pence back.

Not really. When you move it onto the exchange to sell, it should be on there only long enough to convert to fiat…ideally just a matter of minutes. That’s a different story than leaving BTC on the exchange for potentially months.
Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1une99y/how_are_you_adjusting_btc_vs_stablecoin_exposure/ 146 countries now exploring CBDCs, per the latest Atlantic Council tracker, and that’s up from 87 just four years ago — this isn’t a thought experiment anymore, it’s the new monetary baseline being built around us. Looking through the policy moves, the picture is pretty clear: China is still furthest along with e-CNY (large-scale pilots, integration into everyday apps), the ECB is pushing the digital euro design phase, and places like Nigeria, the Bahamas, and the Eastern Caribbean already have live CBDCs, even if usage is mixed. The IMF is running dedicated CBDC training for central bankers, the BIS keeps publishing cross‑border settlement blueprints, and the Fed is carefully laying conceptual groundwork on its CBDC page while rolling out FedNow as the “interim” rails. We’re moving from theory papers to operational playbooks. A small group of countries clearly wants CBDCs not just for retail payments efficiency, but to chip away at dollar dominance through cross‑border CBDC corridors and FX bridges. For Bitcoin and broader crypto, I don’t see CBDCs as direct competition; they’re the opposite end of the spectrum. CBDCs are centrally issued, surveillable liabilities with programmable rules; BTC is credibly scarce, bearer-like, and jurisdiction-agnostic. If anything, the more explicit the CBDC regime becomes, the more obvious the need for a parallel, non-sovereign asset and for neutral collateral in a slow-motion de‑dollarization world. Meanwhile, institutions are quietly positioning: spot BTC ETFs in the US, banks offering custody, and tradfi adopting stablecoins on permissioned chains. All of this happens against a backdrop of structurally negative real yields and ongoing fiscal dominance. The monetary experiment is not ending; it’s evolving. Personally, with CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger and then I use Coinbase for regulated exposure and fiat on/off ramps in the US: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is actually sizing CBDC risk: are you changing your BTC vs. stablecoin mix, diversifying across jurisdictions, or just treating CBDCs as noise until a major economy fully flips the switch?

Show me where BTC has had \*any uptrend in the last year. This is year #1 of 4-yr cycle. Might be 5yr since crypto has never had a sitting Prez PUMP & DUMP yall so hard. Clarity will never exist, and think many are having hard time telling themselves they got dunked on with all the hype.
I use CoinTrends to quickly screen for gainers and losers over certain period of time and also use TradingView to look at charts and patterns for the coins that I find. I select period of BTC that looks interesting to me and the site shows me which coins performed best/worst. Also I can quickly see how coins from my portfolio (watchlist) performed during that period of time.
BTC/ETH/SOL. Possibly HYPE. I’d like to say TAO/Bittensor but I dunno, the AI space is crowded.
Wow 😮, If SNP500 or dollar would collapse, are there any chance that people would use BTC for trade, Or do they would run to buy overprinted priceless dollars? 💸 💵
You’re going to see quite a few ‘not your keys…’ comments - which are 100% true. What you may also want to consider are the fees and spreads of the exchange you are using. Before you buy any more BTC take a look at your exchange and see how much it will cost to sell or transfer it then compare that to other exchanges. You may also want to look into some exchanges that offer ‘staking’ of BTC if you are not planning on selling (research them thoroughly before deciding).
Not El Salvadors. They buy 1 BTC daily dollar cost average.
Are you jocking right? WHERE DID YOU HEARD THAT? You just post this shit to create controversy? What's the source? You need to read more about BTC and how it works. THEN ask yourself again the question "IS Bitcoin Cash BETTER THAN Bitcoin?" I you will feel dumb. Is easier to post it here than look up for answers on google before. Research about the blockchains and the problems they solve before post here please.
If CDC or Coinbase goes under there’s more problems in the world than whether or not you have a cold wallet or what price BTC is
ETH/BTC back at weekly 21 sma resistance....been rejected each time since November. Break and close above big signal...btc.d could start to collapse.
That means other people bought 491 BTC
Some people didnt think they needed a cold wallet and letf their coins on MtGox, or FTX, or Blockfi, Celsius, QuadrigaCX, Cryptopia, Bitgrail, Youbit, Einstein, Cointed, Bitcoinica, Vircurex , Coin.mx, BTC-e, Cryptsy. All of them ended up regretting their choice. Meanwhile, those of us who have cold storage have lived thru countless exchanges collapsing. I've used at least 3 now-defunct exchanges in the past. Didnt care when any of them went under cause they didnt have my coins. I have my coins. Dont take unnecessary risks. Self custody is very easy to learn. Not your keys, not your cheese
BTC is used for crime that’s what.
If you're still asking yourself if BTC is a scam you've pretty much self-identified as a crypto noob who hasnt done much homework or trading.
Look at Cuvex Bit (BTC only, stateless)
This post kind of insults people intelligence. It's like I can't ever get the time back. I'm not sure if someone who doesn't understand the difference between BTC, altcoins and crypto should be allowed to post.
Meh, yes and no. I have a few thousand $ worth on Robin Hood because I like their platform and charts, and I fool around with shitcoins. I would not trust them with all of my BTC tho. I think you're fine trusting the exchanges while you learn how BTC works, but eventually you'll want to secure your investment. It's a good idea to set up a cold wallet and just move a little of BTC around until you are comfortable with how it works.
lol sold out of BTC while it’s low, to buy into AI at the peak… true WSB mentality
I wasn’t referring to the BTC itself becoming lost, but your access to it. Exchanges have been known to lock customer accounts due to “suspicious activity” and won’t disclose what that means. The rise of relying on AI to auto flag these things is probably going to make that worse. If your account gets locked, it can be very difficult to get access to it again. Meanwhile, you don’t have access to the BTC because they control the keys to it.
I’m going to go against the grain here and say it depends. It depends on how much risk you’re willing to go through and how well you sleep at night with that risk. A Trezor is what, €60? What’s the point of paying that if you own 20€ in BTC? If you own 200€, I still think it’s not really worth it. At 2000€ it starts making sense. My point is, I think it’s stupid to recommend cold wallets to people who can easily bear the very unlikely scenario their cold wallet gets hacked. Up until multiple thousands I had my coins sitting on Blue Wallet on my Mac because it’s a simple, great wallet that’s quite secure. When I went 5 digits I was uneasy so I moved it all to a Trezor. It’s a relative question not an absolute one,
There is absolutely no reason you should have gotten downvoted for this. This post shows exactly why people new to crypto should never self custody. Losing BTC on an exchange is almost unimaginably rare now compare to losing it via a mistake like the one OP made. Way more people have lost funds due to self custody errors than to exchange failures.
Only if you really need your BTC
yes u can swap USDT to BTC in trust wallet and then send it to another wallet. just watch fees and make sure u're on the correct network....
China owns 190,000 BTC https://bitcointreasuries.net/governments/china
Buy now. Go all in before it's too late! Sell your house and go all in BTC!!!!
Life is meant to be lived, but BTC is life sooo...
Why would you not buy stuff you want also? BTC is just an investment, nothing more, and like any investment you use money thats left over to help you in your later years. Dont forget to live today while you save for tomorrow.
When is ETH finally going to deliver another 3x? At this point, it feels like “never.” Over the last several years, ETH has consistently underperformed Bitcoin. Every time it looks like it’s about to catch up, it gives back most of its gains while BTC continues to make new highs and outperform over the long run. Why should I keep allocating capital to ETH when Bitcoin has repeatedly proven to be the better investment? At this point, the opportunity cost of holding ETH instead of BTC seems increasingly hard to justify.
Not just you, there's something about 1 BTC that hits different as a goal. It's probably because it's the only asset where owning one full unit is going to become increasingly rare.
How many of you are also exposed to the SP500 and also raking in gains there vs just being a troglodyte and all in on BTC while missing gains elsewhere due to ego and pride etc.? I'd bet over half of you at very least are eating shit and pretending to smile lmao.
why is a shi\*?LTC was fine from the start. I use it for payments since 2015 probably, never had issues, it was always faster than BTC or ETH, lower in fees, and stable.. Idk, i will always trust more on some coin with history than some 'better' new alt
because higher x? BTC will go maybe 2x, ETH can do 3x?
Alts existem milhões, ja BTC só existe 1!
ETH has a completely different use case and well, it’s been stagnant over the last couple of years while BTC has consistently gained value. I don’t exactly know why people buy ETH over BTC. I would not.
I think BTC more as the super hot extremely bipolar older sister and LTC the younger kinda meh looking with potential and only slightly bipolar sibling
Why LTC when you can have BTC? It’s like the little brother who will never surpass its older sibling.
Yes. Sell half your BTC, buy an apartment or two, rent them out and go to SEA and life off rent + BTC profits. If you hate your job and you keep doing it, you'll end up with a stroke, cancer or a chronic illness.
i think its healthy to have a balance. saving and investing are important, but so are experiences and enjoying ur life, if buying BTC means never spending on things that genuinely matters to u, it's probably worth reassessing that balance.....
When I bought it at the time, sure maybe a bit. But now BTC allows me to buy whatever I desire. Without my stash I wouldn't be able to do and buy half the stuff I do
You can't even do math. To reach the price of $250k BTC would need a market cap of $5T. That's exactly 4x from the current market cap of $1.25T. Also, please stop posting your posts are getting dumber with each passing day.
When walls come tumbling down ... Saylor gonna be forced to sell at some point... Just so he can DCA.... That my friend is when the bottom is in. Saylor is BTC. Then there is the billions the us govt owns because they confiscated it from criminals... They can dump the market at any moment ...and they will. Especially with daddy trump
You don't have to post it. You can just buy it and then watch BTC go down in August, and then you'll sell in September, and then it starts going up in October that's when you comeback to complain that every time you buy it goes down and then when you sell it goes up.
The Internet needs an infinitely scalable decentralised blockchain that can handle 1M+ TPS, with nodes running on cheap consumer hardware with 4 cores and 16GB RAM. It doesn't need BTC.
Likely just BTC even ETH will die probably soon.
I've never seen so many micro BTC inflows before, like less than $1, but there are hundreds of them, and why with the fees being maybe more than the actual amount. He has an account at Cryptonit.net.
Some say the BTC Spot ETFs, which were not there the last 4y cycle, dampen the overall downside. Seems logical and I think we are not going down much further.
I'm in a similar situation this year. When BTC is in a bear market, I tend to save money. I often hesitate to buy something. But just yesterday I bought a ticket to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert" (a film with a symphony orchestra). The event doesn't take place until April next year, but tickets are selling out quickly and I've been wanting to experience this for a long time. (I also want to build a new PC, but prices have gone up a lot, I'll wait....)
Pretty much this. Everything else is trying to imitate it and come up with utility. The utility is all bullshit and it's how you brainwash morons into thinking a coin is valuable. Having zero utility but beiythe original and free is what will keep BTC around.
Yes, I’m haunted by that myself as well. I’m refraining from buying stuff and mostly buy BTC instead, especially when in a bear market like right now. I tell myself I’ll be more generous to myself once I become financially independent, but guess what - I don’t believe this to come true, ever. So i became creative and tricked myself into spending more for myself by getting one of these fancy crypto debit cards that gives me 2% cashback on every purchase, paid out in BTC. Now whenever I make a purchase, I’ll pick up some sats as well. Now I find myself in the position of buying stuff I don’t need just to get the BTC, lol, I’m just joking 🙃 , but honestly spending has become easier for me though.
No, forget about other things and just buy BTC. Don’t let your life distract you.
It’s to late for that. BTC is already down 50%. Everyone who followed the cycle sold/shorted in Oct/Nov and are winning. Even if $58k turns out to be the bottom, -50% is buying territory already so nothing to lose, and even those who wait till Oct, it’s very unlikely BTCs going to be over $100k this year, and everything under $100k BTC is deals 🤷🏾♂️
Hey lad, I wasn't giving my opinion on Strategy (but I will below haha)😁 Just so fed up with people on **both** sides of the argument flinging shit without substance/proof. WSJ isn't exactly proof btw - citing a news outlet to be your source rather than doing the research yourself is a cop-out I'm afraid. I'd say the same to a MSTR fanatic that blindly defends Strategy too. So my opinion then: I do lean more on the side that Strategy will be fine because they now have 17.4 months of cash for dividend coverage. BTC could literally sit here for the next year and a half and Strategy are chilling. I think them paying off that other convertible debt recently was not a good move but it's not "death"-inducing, and is entirely separate to their pref obligations. Plus, it's a very human thing to want to find a scapegoat for anything bad in life, and it happens every crypto cycle. This cycle's blame game is being sent in Strategy's direction but it's unfounded. Only those who *haven't* read Strategy's balance sheet and *haven't* been present in their shareholder meetings are saying that Strategy will die, because once one reads the numbers the "Strategy will die" mantra becomes an argument with math itself. I will now step off my soapbox.😉
Typical? This cycle the substantial gains were made in the year before the halving, where BTC went up almost 5x from the bottom. After the halving it barely got to a 2x. Big money stepped in, stuff changed.
I left the second trump touches BTC, everything he touches goes to shit
>What is "rugged"? That's when you realize you've been lied to. If your node runs bip110 and stops agreeing on 99,5% of the mined blocks being valid (these are the current numbers), than you're in the 0.5% chain split. One day later, your chain is about 143 blocks shorter than the main chain. One week later the difference is 1,000 blocks. Orphan. To NOT become an orphan, somebody will come up with an idea to hard fork out of Bitcoin. Creating a new shitcoin like bcash. Every BTC holder gets the same amount of that shitcoin. People will try to get rid of one to support (buy) the other coin. If you're in the wrong camp, you might have regrets. Bcash, Bitcoin gold, BSV and other fork holders lost more than 90% of money. Don't get caught in that. Run the bip110 node if you wish, just be careful going all in on the new fork. The people telling you to, will still hold BTC because they know how bad this might end up.
I hope it doesn’t tank. It’s not like it can’t happen. I believe in BTC long term being something that’s helps me rather than hinders and I believe it has true support by people who truly support it regardless of mainstream opinions and so on. I think and hope that enough people believe in it to the point it can’t fail because of its fundamentals. Good luck on getting that coin.
They'll all still be here, surely. I mean imagine a world without 10 million ways to send someone a bit of unstable currency. Just BTC maybe? The rest will be more defunkt than now. Proof case of viable tech at best. If governments wanted you to 'own' money then fiat wouldn't still be owned by the printers. Only BTC had half a chance at being an alternative to that. Frequent BTC forks and companies like MSTR trying to own 5% of it only destroys the premise
Charting was the easy part of that tool. The expensive bit was holding live order book state across a dozen exchange feeds at once, since each one streams diffs and you rebuild the book locally, and if you drop a single message you have to resnapshot the whole thing. Running that for BTC across Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp 24/7 costs real server money, so any free clone either paywalls itself in month two or just goes stale and dies.
I purchased 50k in a lot of different crypto assets in 2021. Some good, some bad. I sold everything earlier this year and made a profit of 35k. If I was smarter I could have walked away with profits of 80k. But I’m grateful that I walked with profits and not losses. If I could do it all over again I would have taken that 50k and just dumped it into an index fund. Doing that would have allowed me to not stress, constantly looking at charts. Crypto is stressful and completely unpredictable. And unfortunately I just didn’t get in early enough to get crazy 10x pumps on my coins. Those days are likely behind us for good IMO. Some people will disagree. I will also say, if you’re dead set into getting into crypto, just stick with BTC. Have a game plan and stick to it no matter what. It’s incredibly easy to say you just want to double your money and get out, but you will 100% get greedy and wait to see if it will 3x, 4x, 5x. And the reality is that by waiting to see what happens, you’ll likely start losing profits. Getting into crypto is an interesting study into the human psychology of risk/reward, and will make otherwise smart people make incredibly risky and dumb decisions. Again, my advice is to stay away and put money into long term stocks. This is just the opinion of someone that invested and payed attention to the chats every day for 5 years. It wasn’t really worth it.
In Italia tassazione è completamente diversa, se compri BTC 33% sulla plusvalenza, se compri IBIT 26%
BTC: store of value ETH: smart contracts XMR: p2p digital cash. Maybe a few other longshots like LINK BCH DOGE for reasons I'm sure you can guess after minimal research.
How do you measure what you have? For example I easily know that I have .1 or .2 or 1 BTC in my self custody. When you buy an ETF, how do you know how much BTC that represent ?
With BTC having a market cap of $1.3T versus global equities at $160T, bonds at another $150t, and real estate at some $400t, owning SOME BTC may make sense, but is it less than half of a percent of your asset allocation if you look at the total market of investment opportunities.
What ever happened to those states proposing no taxes on BTC sales? I remember Texas made it official then I guess backed out of the whole thing.

You may not view it that way, but that is how financial markets value assets. The present value of its future income are discounted back to its current value. BTC is currently perceived by all the financial wisdom of the planet (that are all pursuing profit) as having the same economic value as 2x of Costco, or a similar value to the major payment processors. Its actually quite a high value if you think about it.
**Headline:** K Wave has abandoned its Bitcoin treasury strategy, sold all of its BTC, and is pivoting toward AI infrastructure while seeking to raise up to **$250 million**. **Why it matters:** It's another example of a company reversing course after the corporate Bitcoin treasury boom faded, highlighting the risks of tying a business to crypto speculation. * **Bitcoin strategy is over:** K Wave sold its remaining Bitcoin in April and May after holding just **88 BTC**, abandoning a previous goal of accumulating **10,000 BTC**. * **Pivot to AI:** The company plans to redirect capital toward **AI data centers and GPU infrastructure**, reduce debt by selling its entertainment business, and rename itself **Talivar Technologies**. * **Financial challenges:** The proposed **$250 million** shelf offering is far larger than the company's current market value, and Nasdaq has warned K Wave twice this year over minimum listing requirements. * **Part of a broader trend:** Several companies that embraced Bitcoin treasury strategies have since retreated as crypto prices and share prices fell. Some, particularly former Bitcoin miners, have shifted toward AI infrastructure in search of more stable revenue. * **No guarantee of success:** While some firms have benefited from AI pivots, AI infrastructure is highly capital-intensive and competitive, leaving K Wave with significant execution and financing risks.
BTC will have another massive bullrun ahead and after the halvening. This is literally when you bu ly btc. October is the floor lol, this has happened in a 4 year cycle every year like clockwork and you still get moronic ass posts like this. It’s not a store of value to your average joe. It’s something you trade. If you’re close to retirement at best it’s a hedge against inflation with low allocation. Anyone who says otherwise is a crypto bro or blowing smoke and I don’t care.
Agree completely. The fee will be paid whether the price goes up or down. Blackrock itself is BTC agnostic.
That the 8 billion people on the planet have chosen to value BTC’s future value creation as 3x of that of Costco’s value proposition should give you an idea of just how fringe the belief in the value of the token is. Diner’s club was also early in its innovation of credit cards, and is not irrelevant. Visa is now worth half of BTC ($600b), Amex $240b, and Master card another $540b. So the market currently values BTC about the same amount of the current american based credit card processors. You may be right that the value of BTC is too low, but the market currently does not agree with you.
