BTC

Yeah Kemosabe, been into Bitcoin since before it was a thing. I have known the things Saifedean teaches us about money-and its evolution-since before 2008. When I saw the Slashdot article in July 2010, I was like “THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE COUP AGAINST THE 1% AND THE CROOKED BANKERS.” I’ve been in love for over 14.5 years now. ;) Guess I’m one of the few that you can say is “here for the tech.” I’ve done everything from run a node, use Bitcoin APIs to make Python scripted to mining back in 2010 on a laptop with a Celeron processor. Back when it was 50 BTC per block that was mined. I mined at least 5000BTC, but burnt them. At least it contributed to the value of everyone else’s coin today and forevermore.

Impossible_Falcon962

Because everyone can see through the bullshit now? Cryptocoins, BTC included, is fundamentally worthless.

Status-Pilot1069

because we allowed force more organized than us to shittify the whole thing. Everyone is for BTC over their normal currency if they understand it.  

Status-Pilot1069

BTC still working just fine (?)

naminghell

Thanks for the sacrifice. You only made BTC more scarce for everyone. (: Happy stacking!

tldr; Bitcoin's price weakness is being overstated as a result of the US-led tariff war. Factors such as inflation trends, unrealistic expectations of US Treasury Bitcoin acquisitions, and a risk-averse macroeconomic environment have contributed to BTC's struggles. Institutional demand persisted despite the trade war, and Bitcoin's limited upside was evident before tariffs were announced. The weakening job market and lower inflation further dampen demand for risk-on assets like Bitcoin, suggesting broader economic factors are at play. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Get these fuckers out of our BTC and Crypto, they are fucking cancerous!

Same here. With BTC and a few other holdings.

So I should spend all of my savings now? I know this sub is biased toward BTC, but let's be real, stuff happens in life. And often, having cash saved solves the probleme that arise. Even if it's losing 10% per year. Being totally in BTC isn't wise.

WVBitcoinBoy

Bitcoin defeats ego every time. I’m right there with ya, buddy. Especially considering I burnt 5000 BTC that I mined in the early days. Doh! 😖

PotatoBestFood

This happens when you have a lot to sell and want to do it all in one second. You place a market order with the amount you want to sell, and click sell. The order gets filled instantly, but the price is based on the order book, and not what you want to get. And the order book gets filled from best to worst price. And if your order was larger than the top of the order book, then it starts filling all the very bad offers. I’ve seen someone buy 2 BTC for like $2k last year this way, as some monkey hand dumped several BTC on a low volume order book.

forgotmypassword4714

I'm wondering the same. I don't have a 401k option at my job, so I only have a HYSA and BTC right now (and HYSAs don't really do much at all). I'm thinking $200/month will be decent. That's $2,400/year, which is $36,000 after 15 years. If some of that (earlier buys) does a 12x and some of it (the later buys) does a 1.5x, then I guess that'd be around $250,000 if my math is correct.

forgotmypassword4714

I don't even like thinking of all the stuff I bought with BTC and XMR years ago. Wish I would've started long-term saving some of it back then.

TheBigLR901

I think you have forgotten about that boating accident when you lost your guns, ammo, and BTC.

summitcreature

This is an exercise in reverse-time extrapolation. Someone must establish an accepted algorithm for the value of $BTC-USD before $BSD. Does anyone want to sponsor me as an academic exercise?

Fantastic-Tadpole-43

The only problem is: Even with Bitcoin you now have the problem that they can control you. Say you hold all your wealth in BTC and you decide you want to cash out everything at once so you transfer your Coins to a CEX. They might decide to freeze those funds, too. Yes, you can go to a DEX, but that has its own risks...

CheetahGloomy4700

> Bitcoin is no more a threat to the U.S. dollar than gold is. Well, suppose after tallying an account between the governments of Russia and China, after the end of a year, they figure out that there was a net export of 1 ton gold or 1,000 BTC from China to Russia. To settle it, consider the following the options * transport 1 ton of Gold bricks from a vault in Moscow to a vault in Beijing * send an on chain transfer of 1000 BTC from one wallet to another Very hard to figure out which is more economical and transparent, right? If you ponder about it, then you realise why Bitcoin might be a bigger threat to the USD than gold. > So long as Bitcoin is taxed like property rather than currency, it remains a commodity for value storage, not a viable medium of exchange. Taxation laws are not universal, not across the world, not even within individual states and territories inside countries. There are already plenty of countries without any capital gains tax. Some countries like Czechia to Portugal etc. are removing capital gains tax especially on Bitcoin, likely if held for more than 3 years or something. The details vary, but the dynamics is still extremely fluid. Taxation also depends on prevailing political wind. It is totally possible to start a movement or advocacy group to remove extortionate taxation if enough people (and capital) get behind it. So no, while taxation laws in specific jurisdictions influence peoples' choice of store of value/currency etc. they are by no means universal or written on stone. The macro picture is much bigger than taxation alone.

The Trumps managed to create a shitcoin form of BTC, amazing grifters

There is no benefit for him in doing so, unless some bad shits happen and trigger a death spiral with MSTR and BTC strategy.

If the 4 years cycle break then u know..goodbye BTC. 1 million per coin will be in 2150.

South-Specific7095

Thx. This exact statement is why I DO continue to buy 50-100$ every paycheck. I think what the hell? What can it hurt. I have plenty of money invested almost 500k in traditional things. BTC is my secret little gambling thing lol

mcjohnalds45

BTC and gold threaten USD as the global reserve currency. It doesn’t pose an immediate threat for use in small transactions.

Bryanharig

I have definitely used Wise in a similar situation. Worked great, fees were minor. If you want to buy and hold BTC that’s a great long term way to preserve you purchasing power, but I would not do it just to transfer the money.

LayWhere

Let's not kid ourselves, if BTC has a cataclysmic crash eth is getting vaporised

MowMonet

Perfect, all the more reason why ppl should hold BTC. I had to sign some bs letter and listen to a 2 page disclaimer from my bank before they “allowed” me to transfer my own fiat to a CEX. Fuck you big bank! Not impossible to imagine a world where banks largely go the way of blockbuster.

Dewskerz_

Goodness BTC is finding support at a 50% increase in 6 months and people are panicking?

jeg26

This needs to be higher up on the thread. The point isn’t to solve all the systemic problems with one swoop. There’s no magic bullet. This is a serious blow to the oligarchy, but it’s not the coup d’etat that the BTC maxis think it is. Think of BTC as a tool in the toolbox to dismantle the entrenched systems of oppression, but not a single solution for everything.

nugymmer

How many people fugged up this way? I should have sold everything last March and then bought into BTC after it went back to 45k

nugymmer

BTC and a select few blue chips. Forget memecoins.

> Your problem is you don't understand the difference between circulating supply and total supply. no actually that's you. Again its a 100% premine. >>The XRPL founders gifted 80 billion XRP, the platform’s native currency, to Ripple. Which is NOT what you asked. you asked if they put 80% into ESCROW which as I stated, didnt exist until dec 2017, so you're wrong once again >So, educate yourself. so far you've been incorrect every time... >Taking supply off the market has one purpose ... to reduce the circulating demand. incorrect again. directly from the link "this lockup eliminates any concern that Ripple could flood the market, which we’ve pointed out before is a scenario that would be bad for Ripple!" Also escrow doesnt remove from circ supply. to hightlight why you're wrong again. if I escrow my BTC/ADA/ETH does CMC remove from circ supply? or how about we use wayback machine prior to dec 2017 to look at cmc data, notice whats wrong with your argument yet? >This is common practice to avoid prices dropping; as in De Beers, US gov't warehousing cheese, and Trump coin. De beers controls the supply of diamonds, Ripple does not. the US Gov warehouses cheese because the dairy industry collapsed during ww2 and needed to be subsidized. The gov turned it to cheese because it doesnt spoiler unlike Raw milk. Trump coin you are correct. congrats ur 1 for 3 in your basic understanding of examples. >It is never a sign of strength, and can only be effected (with digital tokens) if one centralized agent controls the supply... in a premine for example. And yet its mcap is in the billions. and again that premine was up for anyone to grab as much as they liked. >To summarize: that is why premines are shady, they allow central control of supply to artificially conscript producer surplus on a supply demand curve. >Now, do you understand how supply and demand curves work, or are we gonna have to do an eli5 on that as well? ok lets follow ur example. Why hasnt Ripple set the price to 100$? since you claim they control it. they would benefit the most by doing so, yet they havnt. so what gives? Turns out you dont understand what you're talking about agian. lol

ScoobaMonsta

I'm Not talking about renewable energy. Bitcoin mining is becoming centralised. This will continue to increase. The renewable energy going into mining means nothing in the grand scheme of things when bitcoin is captured by the legacy system. BTC ETF's is fractional reserve banking. Selling paper BTC. Chain analysis companies working with authorities to force exchanges and mining farms to censor transactions is a serious problem that all Maxi's refuse to acknowledge. Having the government become the largest holder of BTC and black rock and sailor also hold massive amounts of bitcoin IS NOT a good thing! Once the block rewards get cut to the point where it doesn't cover the cost of mining you'll see the hash rate plummet because of miners turning off their machines because they're losing money. Anyone who thinks transaction fees will make up the difference are delusional. No one will be using the network with high fees and censorship and low security. Bitcoin has failed at its fundamentals.

filipluch

It's a practical example highlighting how timing the market backfires. The example above is using s&p 500 to illustrate what happens if you miss the major dips. Yes looking back it's obvious lol but looking at the price right now and trying to wait for the 30% dip is how you lose on the average. To give you a more practical example directly related to BTC. I've been DCA-ing for the past 3 years or so. Weekly. My average cost is $32,600. And no, you can time every dip for the past 3 years.

braccinocorto71

With such an income it is crazy to have exposure in crypto. Personally in your place I’d go 75% in sp500 and 25% BTC and just leave there to compound

admin_default

OP was complaining about BlackRock buying loads of BTC and the lack of wealth distribution - equating this to “centralized”. What OP really wants is socialism.

Stony_1987

U.S.A has to complete a full audit of our nations BTC holdings. Which could give direction to the 1st years installment process of a strategic BTC reserve.

Fit_Trifle2469

BTC, XRP, & Jasmy.

billybadassman

Sadly seems like those are people more likely to look at the price of BTC, say its too high...then lose all their money gambling on a shitcoins and just leave crypto behind all together instead.

BidNo7722

For any of you waiting for a dump tomorrow to either load up or short, look at how fast the price has been recovering from these dips in the $80k range. Upon severe tariffs, do you really think a bunch of whales are going to throw up their hands like "oh my god, I never saw that coming" and sell all the BTC they've been accumulating, to you, for cheap? Is that really going to cause the big players to dump their digital gold at a discount because of this tariff "curve ball" that only you saw coming? You guys are going to get burned so bad that you won't buy back in and you'll miss the pump.

dj_destroyer

The purpose of BTC was NOT to be the "largest transfer of wealth between generations and classes of all time" however it very well could have been if you bought before now. The idea of a fair system is that everyone has equal access -- the BTC that America buys, or MicroStrategy, or Blackrock, is the exact same that you can buy at the exact same price. That IS fair. BTC is open-sourced, decentralized, fair, equitable, immutable, etc. and we're all going to benefit from it.

Honest_Bruh

It's so wild that all these channels still show BTC, ETH, and LTC. Haven't updated their format since 2017.

The_IrishCream

I got you bro. I just did what I suggested AND I have another 401k with my current employer that cock blocks me the same. What you CAN do is...add a PCRA (*self-directed brokerage account*) account to said 401k and then move funds over (mine requires me to leave 5k in the 401k shell) to the PCRA. Once in there, go HARD on all the BTC ETFs! While no direct BTC can be bought via 401k (YET), at least you'll directly gain off the backs of giants investing in our BTC 😎💪

jwz9904

6th day of BTC green candles.

Minute-Ad-6894

Grandma can buy a BTC ETF though, right?

Hot_Establishment216

I would. Honestly would. But I've been with my employer since I started investing in my 20s. I did take out a 401k loan, because the terms were very favorable, so I've made some progress. I'm capped at the moment by my CEXs limits and my bank won't let me wire transfer, haha. I might throw my Roth into a self directed one where I can self-buy and manage my own BTC. The issue that's holding me back is the fees. Good God the fucking fees.

The_IrishCream

Rollover some past 401k accounts from previous employers you've been procrastinating on dealing with into an IRA that lets you buy BTC directly. DO IT.

WinterTry8190

This is clearly a misunderstanding. Bitcoin is a digital currency and it is impossible for the USPS to deliver it to your door in physical form. If someone tells you that this is a "physical Bitcoin coin", it is essentially just a souvenir or a cold wallet, not a real BTC asset. As for the "blacklist" issue you mentioned, real Bitcoin transactions are conducted through the blockchain, and every transaction can be traced. If the Bitcoin you received is from an illegal source, it may indeed be marked as "risk funds" by the on-chain analysis tool, but this usually only affects the deposit review of the exchange and will not put you in jail. If you really have questions about Bitcoin, you can ask me at any time. I am a frequent visitor in this area, specializing in short-term trading, and have in-depth research on capital flow and risk control. If you want to learn how to safely store and trade BTC, feel free to chat

AnoAnoSaPwet

Combine that with free electricity and government regulations making mining illegal while mining it themselves (Russia/China)? Taking that you now need specialized hardware to mine BTC, vs before anyone could (and technically still can, but not profitably), and the government themselves has literal farms of this equipment set up?  I'm calling BTC pretty fucking centralized. 

OldRefrigerator6528

Bro that died long ago, nobody cares about BTC's utility or use as currency. Anyone is welcome to feed the ponzi.

AnoAnoSaPwet

The point of using BTC is to "use BTC". Whatever the price of BTC ends up being, it won't ever interfere with that function, unless the fees are enormous? Crypto has always been a VC-funded enterprise, they've just never really been too vocal about it.  Money just exchanged hands and now the same people who were rich in the previous world are richer in the new world.  I honestly don't get why everyone was so Pro-BTC Reserve? Idk what everyone is expecting to happen? 

Tonyalarm

For your $5,000 BTC purchase, timing’s tough due to volatility (5-10% daily swings). Buying now could earn $250-$500 if BTC rises, but a drop risks the same. As of April 2, 2025, BTC’s around $85K-$90K, with optimism from ETF inflows after a choppy March. Waiting until just before your purchase avoids fluctuations, especially if it’s soon. Check mempool.space for low-fee dips. If risk-averse, wait; if you can watch the market, buy on a dip now. Good luck!

Reasonable_Base9537

Bitcoin is just another form of value. If it is accessible to everyone, it only makes sense that the wealtht can simply convert their wealth from one form like USD to another like BTC. Wealth is wealth. The main point of BTC is no centralized entity control it. The ledger is public and anyone has equal ability to use BTC. I personally think Satoshi wouldn't love the idea that the bitcoins themselves are becoming concentrated but it's a free market, anyone can buy or sell it if they want to

NiagaraBTC

If you have to ask, you won't ever have enough BTC to be invited.

AnoAnoSaPwet

That's usually what happens, but we're in a weird quasi-bullrun currently? BTC is still super high with ATH dominance, but it's not enough.  If there was a lot of buying it would be reflected in prices, and pretty much only BTC is being bought up? Everything else seems to dump quite regularly.  I just see the market bleeding out and we end up back in a bear market again. With the odd little pump here and there. 

Reapthewhirlwind88

Surely if he knew it had all this valuable BTC on it, he would have kept it somewhere safe? Sounds like he forgot about it so he’s partly at fault himself?

zxc123zxc123

Should have invested in eggs in the 90s that turned into chickens that produce more eggs. Sorry to burst your bubbles but: >Compounded for eggponential gains > BTC returns You'll have to make the case of ease to secure, fungibility, or something else.

Additional-Series230

Y’all love saying that, but it’s all fiat. BTC is as worthless as anything else.

Pdxraiderfan

Don’t be…in fact that is a little dramatic. Fiat money (us currency) is still backed by fdic up to $250,000 on deposits. The US still had enormous political and economic credibility. BTC is an amazing asset to have as part of a portfolio but be cautious of the doomsday bitcoiners who are preparing for the fall of society. While that could happen i would imagine your bitcoin held personally likely won’t help you much if it did. So, don’t be scared, but invest wisely and know that BTC can create generational wealth as an asset class with a lot of upside.

Alphius247

Instead of standing on the sideline fearful or uniformed for a decade, you could have gotten involved and been knee deep in some BTC by now. Life is what you make it.

xtra_clueless

Well, I capitulated, sold off my last ETH (after selling a first batch in the end of December). Now all I still hold is Bitcoin. I never thought I would sell at such a low price but here we go. My reasoning is that I think the tariff wars and its effects on the economy (both US and worldwide) are only just starting. Trump is serious, stubborn and surrounded himself with yes-men and he's not backing down. The news of tariffs have already shaken the markets, but the full effect of significant price increases over the coming months is not priced in, in my opinion. And the geopolitical instability is also only getting worse. Recession, stagflation, you name it... seem way more likely scenarios than an imminent crypto bull market. So even though I might be late to sell, I still think it's better to do it now than watch ETH drop even further. I am more optimistic about BTC, though Saylor is the only one holding it up and he too will stop buying at some point and I expect BTC to go lower, too. But I want to keep some skin in the game and BTC is the only solid rock in crypto.

Notorious_Degen

Here it comes… BTC is going to go back to its original price… 3 BTC for a pizza….

I thought BTC was "for the people" Institutions are not people . Big money always has a way of interfering with regular Joes and Josephines 🇺🇸🦅🚬🚬🚬☕🚬

Scared-Ad-5173

That’s not how it works. Controlling 51% of mining power doesn’t mean you can "control the network" in the way you're implying. It allows for temporary double-spends and censorship, but it doesn't let you rewrite history or take others' coins. Plus, coordinating multiple major miners (who are financially incentivized to not destroy trust in the network) is easier said than done. As for forking again to “keep mining profitable,” forks dilute community and developer support, rarely gain traction, and usually result in long-term losses. BCH and other forks have nowhere near the security, adoption, or liquidity of BTC. Looking at short-term gains without understanding network effects, hash rate, or long-term viability is how you end up holding bags of irrelevant forks.

VariatCA

BTC is up 3% today, and up over 7% since it's March-low of 79k. This is a faster recovery than the S&P/DOW/Nasdaq over the same time period. Though BTC has fallen relatively farther from its all-time-high compared to those markets on a percentage basis, so it's recovery would need to be stronger to recapture January's valuations.

Aconyminomicon

If you own >51% of the mining/transactions (or get a few companies to band together to gain 51%), then yes, you can control the network. Also, what is to stop a 4th fork of Bitcoin to keep mining profitable? Even now, the BCH network (a bitcoin fork), is looking better than actual BTC as far as gains to be made.

This is the game theory. For mass adoption, this was guaranteed to happen. Even the most libertarian or anarchist crypto enthusiast must be able to see the writing on the wall - that if value shifts, the rich and powerful will inevitably follow, and they will take every advantage they have (because they are the rich and powerful) to front run the change and end up still on top. At least BTC promises a protocol where the rich and powerful can’t fuck with the money itself, and you can transact without a middleman (bank) if you so choose (and yes I know layer 1 protocol can’t handle all the traffic, and so layer 2 and 3 will inevitably crop up… and this is why I say “if you so choose”). A bitcoin standard would end the bailouts and democratize prosperity worldwide. A humanity changing event. My advice if you think BTC is indeed headed to global mass adoption. Load up your bags before it’s too late, so that you and your descendants are the rich and powerful next time around.

OldPyjama

Been absent for a while. Took a break for a few weeks. Did I miss anything? Bull run still ongoing? Crab market? Are we still optimistic that BTC could reach 200-300k by 2030?

Stunning-Insect7135

You know BTC is divisible right?

awazzan

I think you misunderstands how fiat currency works. The US dollar has ditched the dollar backed by gold standards in 1973, and switched to fiat which is basically backed by nothing but their word aka the military. Just like gold, the U.S cannot print BTC out of thin air, even if they own a huge chunk of it. They might want to create a CBDC or other type of currency to replace the dollar, but for sure it won’t be based/backed by BTC. And even if they do a currency backed by BTC, they still cannot print it out of nothing, that’s the beauty of BTC. Keep your coins off of platforms and safely store your keys with backups.

RandoDude124

Only reason why Trump, his idiot sons and Senator Lumis are interested in this? #BTC big number, me like big number. They do not give a single fuck about the decentralized nature of crypto, and what it could be used for.

partymsl

"Tariffs on foreign mined BTC" actually sound real lol...

Nothing is ruined tho and it actually supports BTC even more. All their shitcoins are making alts looks like and BTC dominance keeps pumping.

Dayo22

In the short term . If you buy $5k worth of btc to sell within a few days, weeks , or months no one can tell you if the value will be less or more than your initial investment. In the long term though I think BTC is an amazing investment. If you are willing to put that $5k in and forget about it for 4 years , there is a very good chance the value of your BTC will increase more than the value of whatever it is you are planning to purchase with that $5k.

inShambles3749

You still own your BTC that's the point. You can't want adoption but say nonono rich people and governments pls stay out of it. The point is that none of these entities can *control* it. Sure they can manipulate the markets but literally every super rich entity can do this. Aside from that you can't get robbed you are free to transfer to anyone you want and no one can interfere or freeze your assets. Isn't that incredible on its own?

Smoking-Coyote06

>Like why would I want America to start a huge Bitcoin reserve? If you're American...for the same reason you would want America to have a huge Gold Reseve. >Or for Microstrategy and Blackrock to just keep buying more and more BTC? They are buying at the interest of their shareholders that have have asked them to do so. If you are not shareholder it would not impact you. If you were a btc holder their collective buying power places additional buying (and selling) pressure on btc. >It's no different from any other asset none of us can afford. You can buy btc is any size denomination.

throwawayaccountdown

The fact that Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million doesn’t mean its price can't be manipulated. You would assume that buying BTC from a centralized exchange means that you own real BTC, but what if the exchange simply credits the account with an IOU instead of actually purchasing BTC? If an exchange operates on a fractional reserve system, it can issue more "paper BTC" than it holds, inflating the perceived supply. What if a whale buys a massive amount of Bitcoin, but the price doesn’t move because their orders are internalized by exchanges and never hit the public order book? Additionally, derivatives like leveraged BTC ETFs, futures, and options influence Bitcoin’s price without requiring actual BTC to be bought or sold. This creates a system where the price of BTC can be dictated by financial instruments rather than true market supply and demand. Similar practices occur in traditional stock markets as well. The only way to ensure one owns real BTC is to withdraw it to a self-custody wallet. Once it’s on the blockchain, you have verifiable ownership. But the majority of people use CEXs because it's simply easier for the average Joe. This keeps your core ideas intact while making the argument more structured and persuasive. Would you like me to simplify it further or add more examples?

honestly I havent done specific calculations and yes MC isn't everything, it's more about liquidity. But right now I think BTC is by far the best asset to invest in with its risk:reward ratio massively skewed in favour of reward.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy (now Strategy), has become a prominent Bitcoin advocate, with the company holding over 528,000 BTC. While Saylor promotes Bitcoin as a high-value asset and encourages institutional adoption, critics argue his approach contradicts Bitcoin's decentralized ethos. Concerns include the concentration of Bitcoin in Strategy's hands and fears of a potential market crash if the company sells its holdings. Despite these worries, Saylor has dismissed the idea of selling, emphasizing Bitcoin's central role in Strategy's business model. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

If anyone can rugpull (and ruin) BTC, it’s the Trumps.

wicodly

To get paid in…? Where’s the value in BTC if everyone is waiting for its value to be some ungodly amount in USD? 1BTC = $200,000, now what? Fiats collapse, physical commodities lose their value (gold and diamonds). It just all seems so pointless for everyone’s advice to be hold out on btc until it’s valuable then sell it for the thing btc is supposed to be better than.

Electronic_Drama_727

Do you think $1k-$100k is the same as $100k-$800/$1mil? Do you have any estimates what you think the MC would have to be to get BTC to $800k-$1mil? (Yes yes yes MC isn't everything, I know).

Mental_Gift9727

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I just moved to the US and I have some money in 2 diff back account in 2 diff countries. I’m looking to move it all into an American one, I’m thinking BTC is the best way to do this by buying up BTC with my cash, sending it to my wallet, and then taking it out onto my American bank. Is this the best way of doing it?

HoldOnDearLife

I have not seen so many fake articles trying to get us plebs to buy their bags. If you want cheap BTC don't buy now and watch Trumps long get wrecked.

PrestigiousLoad6098

They're rolling out 10bps hardfork at start of May I believe. They are about to redefine what was thought possible with BTC-era PoW. Think SC in three months. Whether the price will ever reflect the tech will obviously remain to be seen. But for me, it's the most exciting team and project in crypto rn.

Due-Inspection-5660

yes. I've been holding since 2017 and I can tell you back then ppl thought $100k was completely out of the question. Now we are having institutional and potentially governmental adoption.... $800k per BTC is a very reasonable valuation

Due-Inspection-5660

realistically BTC could hit a new ATH in April or certainly May if the tariffs are relatively soft and if some countries agree deals (they remove their tariffs in exchange for the US not tariffing them.)

What are ‘non-American crypto assets’? I do not remember BTC having a national annotation. Or is it currencies held by foreigners?

The scammers never go away, they've always been regular assets but now they can do it out in public and get away with it, its just out of control. Just look at this cycle, apart from BTC its pretty much shitcoins that pumped. It doesn't look good and it still holds us back from being a legitimate asset class. If we didn't have thousands of shitcoins a lot more of this money would have driven other coins higher.

It’s a test of the BTC market and BTC itself. It might eventually self-correct, and the unfairness could be temporary.
