Whatever, speculators are going to speculate. Some people need to pay bills and don't have 16 BTC.

bitcornwhalesupercuk

Well if the orange pedo keeps this war going you can almost guarantee borrowing rates will go because of inflation. BTC Casino tends to do better when there is more liquidity and cheaper rates . The safe haven narrative is dead. Gold and silver have been pumping while btc is stagnant or dumping. So yeah 50k is in the cards.

Which exchange is best for you depends on what country you are a resident of. I recommend buying bitcoin on [Strike](https://strike.me/), [River](https://river.com/), [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/), or [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) if these platforms serve residents of your country. [River](https://river.com/) and [Strike](https://strike.me/) are the best platforms to set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule (automatic dollar cost averaging schedule). If you set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule on River, then River stops charging you fees after the first week. https://river.com/zero-fee If you set up an automatic hourly or daily recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first week. And if you set up an automatic weekly or monthly recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first automatic purchase. https://strike.me/faq/how-do-i-set-up-a-recurring-purchase/ You should also be aware that exchanges get to choose how much they want to charge their customers for withdrawing bitcoin from their platform. This fee is referred to as a bitcoin withdrawal fee. Some exchanges choose not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee at all (meaning it's free to withdraw bitcoin). [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee. [Strike](https://strike.me/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you choose the slowest option. [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you withdraw 0.001 BTC or more and you choose the standard speed option. [River](https://river.com/) chooses to give their customers one free bitcoin withdrawal per month.

I'm not doing cross-asset derivates: Long OIL: entry at $85.94 Short BTC / ETH: entries at $68705 / $2070 So if oil goes up, and crypto goes down, I double dip.

Correct-Potential-15

An address has to store all your BTC for long term holding might aswell make it a vanity (generate them offline it’s just like generating a normal address just don’t leak the key)

Enough_Angle_7839

Could be a trap in the short term, sure. But the bigger picture still looks strong — ETFs, institutional flows, and shrinking supply aren’t exactly bearish signals. Even if BTC revisits $50K, that would probably look more like a reset than the end of the trend.

Joseelmax

you said it yourself, nobody programs a model to say anything, but if it reads this subreddit it'll think Bitcoin is some sort of supernatural deity, all you do is shill bitcoin 24/7 as if that would move the price instead of actually use and build on top of its technology, and you know what? I'm starting to believe what's actually moving the price is monkeys posting "GO BUY BTC NOW" 4 times per hour on this subreddit. All you say is "buy this asset because it will go up in the future" not "we're building a future where BTC is really useful". The only reason AI agents will use it is because they are actually somewhat motivated to build on top of it (or because they are prompted to "make a lot of money in BTC")

CaffeineComaMode

I think it's a mix of a few things, nothing dramatic. There just isn't massive forced selling right now. The people who were going to panic already did that on the earlier drops. Long-term holders seem pretty chill around these levels. There's also still steady buying in the background. ETFs, bigger players, that kind of thing. It's not euphoric, but it's enough to absorb dips. And honestly, compared to stocks swinging hard every time oil moves, BTC just kind of sits there. It's volatile, sure, but it's not reacting like it used to. Also, more people are starting to see fiat slowly losing value year after year. Even with all the macro noise, some would rather park money in something scarce than watch purchasing power erode. That probably helps too.

NovastaKai

price action manipulated. staking mimics trad. u.s has the backdoor keys for ethereum. does the u.s.a trust a russian owner? Eth has utility sure. but it never really went very far in my opinion to be considered a worthy investment for short terms and long term.. yeah look at that stag.. BTC is SIMPLE in this regard. money here to there. limited supply.. boom.. like gold under the templars 🤣 everybody wants a piece, Unlike gold, which is unaccountable these days and van be traded again after it was confiscated from the people for no good reason, If the u.s. pulls a "reserve" on btc or eth, I'd half bet they try confiscating that too, i know which i would try to keep locked away ;) and which would be intrinsically more valuable :3 Eth is nice to get around and see the space, To use it soso, but the majority of use case within is brand-focused and trendy which has no value to society as a whole i.m.o. especially with those fees o_o

andys811

Fundamentals aren't amazing on BNB, don't get me wrong it's decent for a digital asset, but it's kinda ass compared to BTC and ETH. I care more about long term fundamentals then short/mid term price action

Zestyclose_Paint3922

People realizing BTC will never be a real currency.

Any_Score3619

Yes, it's limited supply, scarce asset, decentralized, global, easy to transport and transact. Store of value for the internet age. There is a lot of FUD: Fear of Quantum (nobody ever got hit by a bus that they saw coming... like Y2K: it should get resolved, the banking system faces the same threat), Uncertainty (is this real?.. yes it is) and Doubt (what if I am wrong, tough to stomach volatility...) and speculation. Markets do follow narratives, and sometimes the new shiny thing runs ahead of itself, but BTC is still there is case you need it. Valid hedge against your own country's currency (fiat monopoly money) devaluation, being bombed... confiscated, etc. So yes it absolutely is a hedge. Do not buy memecoins that are centrally controlled by someone. Stablecoins are backed by a portfolio of assets that may or may not be audited properly. Bitcoin is the OG.

zoom out on the data: whale wallets (1k+ BTC) have been net accumulating since late Feb. retail sentiment is at rock bottom. the gap between what people feel and what the money does is the widest it's been in over a year. historically that divergence resolves in favor of the money.

DangerHighVoltage111

You know what's scarce on BTC? Transaction throughput. The world only gets 4 transactions per second. If the top 1% make a single tx every 200 days BTC is indeed stopped for the other 99%

BTC price action ( in the long term ) is fairly simple. Look for 90EMA on weekly. If it closes above, buy and hold. If it closes below, sell short. Thats it.

Itur_ad_Astra

cashflashmil

One thing people might be underestimating right now is how much the structure of the crypto market has changed. Previous cycles were mostly retail driven. Now you’ve got Bitcoin ETFs, companies adding BTC to their balance sheets and much deeper institutional infrastructure. Retail usually only notices when price explodes, but the groundwork tends to be built months earlier. I follow a short daily crypto market brief called WebSnack that breaks down Bitcoin moves, macro liquidity and the narratives driving the crypto market. It’s useful for keeping track of what’s actually moving things.

Alone_Salamander7485

OscarCorterz_20

When people say "I investing for the long-term" they usually just want a 2x flip and then they just expect BTC to die after they sell all of it

bigphatfuck

Sorry man but that's not going to happen. BTC has two good days in a row and everyone gets excited, forgetting that it has completely dumped since October. This is how bear markets work. If this is your first one, just relax and be patient. We will probably get to $200k+, but not until 2028-29

Suspicious-Cut3237

Lol... BTC has been called a scam so many times...

Shrijit27

For me it's hard to pick just one... BTC and ETH still feel like the safest long-term bets to me, while newer plays depend a lot on narratives and execution... Top crypto experts like Balaji and Evan Luthra often emphasize fundamentals, adoption, and time horizon over short-term predictions. For me it’s less about which pumps most this year and more about which still matters a few years from now.

If you’re considering borrowing against your Bitcoin, here are a few things worth checking first: **Core requirements** 1. **No rehypothecation** – your Bitcoin isn’t re-lent or used elsewhere. 2. **Qualified custody** – assets held in insured, bankruptcy-remote custody. 3. **Segregated collateral** – your BTC sits in a dedicated wallet address, verifiable 24/7. 4. **Off-balance sheet** – your collateral is not part of the lender’s balance sheet. 5. **Independent capital** – the lender has its own funding source, not pooled or matched. 6. **Flexible exit** – you can repay anytime and retrieve your collateral quickly. 7. **Human support** – real people available when needed. No bots. No tickets. **Bonus (but great to have)** 1. Same-day funding 2. Line-of-credit functionality * Borrow more if BTC appreciates * Withdraw some collateral if LTV improves 3. Loan rollover option for additional flexibility If a lender checks most of these boxes, you’re likely looking at a much safer borrowing experience.

bro make sure you have a COLD wallet with a securely help seed phrase! Also make sure you have a portfolio tracker like CoinStats app to track your BTC Good bless the sats 🙏

0xZennite

You're not wrong that a hard fork could technically change the supply cap, but getting consensus for that would be near impossible — it would basically destroy the core value proposition overnight. The scarcity argument alone isn't enough, agreed, but combined with growing institutional demand and the halving cycle it creates a pretty compelling supply/demand squeeze. What would actually make you bearish on BTC long term?

BTC price aside, there's not a lot of other laughing going on with this war.

Suspicious-Cut3237

Going "all in" is mostly a risk tolerance question, but I get the mindset. BTC is the one asset that consistently survives cycles, so focusing on making the core work harder is more rational than chasing the next shiny thing. On the "earn on BTC without wrapping/bridging" part, your options are basically CeFi yield or using BTC as collateral for liquidity. I do a mix on Nexo: keep most BTC long-term, and use a small slice for yield / or borrow modestly against it at low LTV when I need cash instead of selling. The key is not getting greedy with size and treating it as an accessory to the BTC thesis, not the thesis itself.

biophysicsguy

Not necessarily. Robinhood allows the purchase of spot BTC as well as Bitcoin ETFs that go by tickers such as IBIT, FBTC, GBTC, ARKB, etc.

KCConnor

RTG's generate maybe hundreds of watts. And generate a lot of heat. They're used for deep space missions past Jupiter where the Sun's radiation is far weaker, solar won't be mass efficient, and thermal radiation is easier to balance. Some of the rovers on Mars also use RTG's, but there's a thin atmosphere there to also give convection to shed waste heat. Regardless, hundreds of watts is insufficient to mine BTC, when you're spending tens of millions for a space launch and satellite command/control/orbital maneuvers liability for the life of the satellite. Far more cost efficient to just pay the terrestrial electric bill.

Fluffy-Crab7929

degenknght

Custody is the thing most people skip over and it's the most important. If they hold your BTC, they control what happens to it. After that, LTV buffer, what the loan is built on under the hood, and then yeah APY absolutely matters too. If the collateral is earning yield that automatically pays down your debt, the effective rate changes completely. That's what makes the self-repaying mechanic so useful - Altitude Finance does this and ends up with some of the best net borrowing rates out there because the yield is working for you the whole time. Structure first, then rate. But rate is definitely part of it.

Savings-Leading4618

BTC appears to be a huge bargain right now. It’s always recovered ATH territory, and the current price is about half the ATH. It just might take a couple years or more to get there.

Rockwall_Mike

Wash rules apply to the ETFs but not to actual BTC since IRS considers it property. Just some random guy’s opinion.

Jolly-Might-903

You still don't get it. There is no usufull mass adopted useful crypto yet. BTC has value because it's the first and holds the trust of the hold blockchain/crypto market and technology. All other altcoin shit coin and what not has limited functionality, xmr if you want to do be anonymous, USDT for digital dollar, Solana if you want to ape on pump and dump coins, matic or whatever layer 2 for cheap transactions. And promises the possibility of mass institutional adoption XRP for example with its atemos to get into the banking system of many countries. None of it matters it's speculation and none of them outperforms in the long run BTC holding. One thing propably possibly in my opinion for certain BTC spawn it all, it started everything and it will exist as a trust for this system whatever the future mass adopted coins are.

Ok_Sir_6633

BTC went up 30 seconds after I opened a short position on MSTR. I can't win.

stuart_nz

If you used BTC as collateral would you need to give them access to your wallet/seed or something before getting the loan? If so that sounds like it could end badly and if not then how are they going to collect the BTC afterwards ha!

stuart_nz

During my credit card application the bank wanted to know the amount of every crypto I own. Bank statements detailing my personal spending going back years was a big ask already. My BTC balance is my business so I told them it was zero. That was a lie.

degenknght

The "mortgage-like" product you're describing already exists in defi - low LTV loans where the collateral yield slowly pays down the debt over time. You borrow against your BTC or ETH, the position earns yield, and that yield services the loan automatically. You never touch the principal unless you want to. Protocols like Altitude are doing exactly this on top of aave and morpho, so the infrastructure risk is as battle-tested as defi gets. Non-custodial, on-chain, you hold your keys the whole time. The liquidation risk doesn't disappear but it's meaningfully different. Lower LTVs mean the buffer is wider. And because it's on-chain you can see the position in real time and add collateral yourself before any threshold is hit - no waiting for a cefi support ticket while your BTC is already gone. Your backtest framing is interesting because it actually undersells the self-repaying mechanic. The loan isn't just cheaper than dca in expected value terms - it also has a time-weighted pay down happening passively. That changes the effective APR calculus over longer terms quite a bit.

I’ll keep buying BTC

Kurosaki56843

Borrowing can be better than selling if your BTC thesis is long-term and you just need temporary liquidity. Selling forces you to pick a price (and often triggers taxes), and if BTC rips later you cannot "undo" that decision. Simple example: back when BTC was around $100, a lot of people sold 5-10 BTC to cover a few hundred bucks in bills. In hindsight, that was the expensive choice. If they had instead borrowed, say, $500 against a 10 BTC stack and repaid over time, the interest cost would have been tiny compared to the upside they kept by not reducing their BTC exposure. The catch is you have to do it like a grown-up: low LTV + a real repayment plan, otherwise you are just adding liquidation risk. I'd rather borrow against my stack on platform like Nexo and repay later with fiat, rather than give up my bags altogether... Plus, you do not need to pay capital gains when borrowing..

PJacouF

No. The math will still work until the last BTC gets mined.

Born-Taro-9383

Ourcrypto_news

Curious what the Royal Government of Bhutan is planning with this BTC. Could be treasury management or some new initiative.

Ourcrypto_news

I usually check the interest rate first and how much volatility they’re expecting. Borrowing against BTC can be risky if the price swings hard.

rv8n8

Before borrowing against Bitcoin, prioritize several key criteria beyond just APY: platform security (look for audits and insurance), loan-to-value ratios to minimize liquidation risk, flexible repayment terms, hidden fees, and the lender's reputation for reliability. Compare options across trusted platforms like Nexo, BlockFi, or Aave—check user reviews on forums like Reddit or CryptoCompare for real experiences. Use tools like DefiLlama for rate comparisons and historical data. This deeper research builds confidence and protects your BTC long-term.

cashflashmil

Nice entry. If BTC actually moves like that, it’ll probably happen fast. A lot of the big swings lately have been tied more to liquidity and macro than anything else. If you don’t want to miss moves like that, it helps to follow what’s actually driving the market. WebSnack publishes short daily crypto market briefs covering Bitcoin, liquidity and the main narratives.

dpnk1

Dont learn trading, better invest in BTC only if you are keen on investing and that on major dips such as now. Dont look or search for anything else or you will burn your hands

South-Monitor-1589

Actually the amount of BTC coming to the market is constantly slowing down

Actual_Pattern_265

They'll create BTC derivative products that you'll buy (or your government, or your employer, etc.). This will also diversify BTC exposure (offloading risk, reducing volatility, etc.), while they accumulate the underlying asset. This isn't anything new. It happens in almost all asset classes, some of which have WAY worse ownership concentration than BTC and do just fine. You'll also notice that there is MASSIVE institutional / retail exposure to Gold while most have zero physical holdings / vaults - ask yourself how that happens.

Django_McFly

Dorsey was willing to fuck the payment app over for years, just to promote Bitcoin maximalism. Dorsey fucked his company just to be a BTC maxi. I don't think Saylor would do that. Strategy is arguably doing better now than it ever was as a pure business intelligence company.

obolli

Yeah, though, as the builder of this, I have been looking at this for a really long time, Longs were underwater for so many months, there was not a single green day (mainly because a few large whales held on). This is literally the first time I see longs in profit as a whole (almost gone again now though). Shorts have always used lower leverage indirectly, longs tend to go all in, shorts use a percentage, so even with 20x leverage they usually only risk a small portion of their account and won't get liquidated until BTC would pump 100% or more

Post is by: AdAncient6591 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rpvg1o/crypto_market_intelligence_march_10_2026/ The digital asset sector is witnessing a high-velocity rebound this morning as global risk appetite returns to the market. After a period of intense volatility and a brief descent toward $65,000, Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the $70,000 threshold. This recovery is largely attributed to stabilizing geopolitical sentiments and a cooling of the recent oil price surge that had previously stoked global inflation fears. Institutional confidence remains a primary driver, evidenced by massive "buy the dip" accumulations from major investment firms totaling billions in value. ​Solana (SOL) continues to exhibit some of the strongest fundamental metrics in the industry. While currently trading in a consolidated range between $82 and $87, the network has handled over 1.9 billion transactions in the last 30 days. Institutional adoption for SOL remains robust, with dedicated ETFs adding over $21 million in assets this month alone. As the fastest-growing network for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, Solana is positioning itself as the primary infrastructure for enterprise-grade deployment in 2026. ​Ethereum (ETH) is currently in a high-tension defense of the $2,000 psychological support level. While immediate price action shows a tightening coil, 24-hour volume has reached $22.4 billion, signaling that the sell-side momentum is exhausting. Analysts are closely watching the $2,050 resistance; a sustained break above this mark could ignite a broader altcoin recovery. ​The macro landscape for March remains focused on the U.S. CPI data release scheduled for tomorrow, March 11, which will likely serve as the next major catalyst for market direction. ​Thank you for your time, Thomas Harrison founder of festive official brand *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

bankrollbystander

a lot of bullish arguments around Bitcoin come from the supply dynamics tied to the Bitcoin Halving, which historically reduced new BTC entering the market. some investors also believe increasing institutional access and accumulation could tighten available supply over time. however, macro factors like interest rates and decisions by policymakers such as Jerome Powell can still heavily influence market sentiment. So while the long-term thesis can be bullish, short-term price movements are still unpredictable.

CapitalIncome845

There are no cryptocurrencies like BTC

Thankyouclouds

Yes this is exactly why. I know it sounds regarded but some of us have partners that are absolutely terrified of this crash and are applying unnecessary stress to us and pressure to sell. You don’t get any of that when BTC is 120k. And no, not gonna leave my partner or sell but I know BTC will go up again so this stress is just SO unnecessary. I also understand the concern because my retirement & Roth account (all IBIT) is sliced in half while partner’s half is sitting pretty in SPY.

altFINS_official

**A few things are keeping it from falling harder:** **Extreme Fear = contrarian support.** When sentiment gets this negative, leveraged shorts pile in, and that creates fuel for short squeezes. The $80M squeeze we saw recently is a perfect example. **Stablecoin sitting on the sidelines.** Huge stablecoin supply means dry powder is ready to redeploy. It's not buying yet, but it's there. **BTC dominance holding (\~56-58%).** Institutions rotate into BTC as a "safe" crypto when everything else is uncertain. It's acting more like digital gold than a risk asset right now. **The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.** Government-level endorsement that didn't exist in past cycles. It sets a psychological floor. **ETH's $2K level.** That's a key psychological support. Holding it keeps broader altcoin panic from spreading.

I try not to ask these questions.... I fear however by the time it comes up properly will go up also.. It sucks. I'm saving for a house and I know just 100k BTC would do it. Right now.

FYI BCH is doing just fine even in the FIAT department. Believe it or not, not everyone bought during the short timeframe of the forkwar. If the sound money revolution succeeds BCH early adopter will gain freedom and enough riches to never worry again. BTC/ FIAT maxis however will always have to worry if an exchange will not freeze their coins when they want to sell. 🤷‍♂️ >And where's your revolution? Well, you have to look at BCH for that :) > Nobody cares about BCH Ah, good old projection :)

Arch_Lending

Our rates are around **8.49–11.84%**, but many borrowers look at Bitcoin’s long-term growth. BTC has averaged roughly **\~45% CAGR over the past decade**. That’s why some prefer borrowing instead of selling. And if timing isn’t ideal, the loan can **roll over**, so you’re not forced to sell your BTC. And if you sell, you could also trigger **capital gains tax, typically 22-37%.**

oopssomething

This has to be the weakest bearmarket since BTC excistance. Can't keep it under 70k too long and soon 100k will be the bottom.

NoodlesOnTuesday

APY is almost the last thing I'd look at. The number that actually matters is the LTV ratio and where the platform sets the liquidation threshold. Borrow at 50% LTV and they liquidate at 80%? You need a 60% BTC drop before you're in trouble. Liquidation at 65%? Much less room. In a volatile market, that gap is the difference between a useful tool and a wipeout. A few things I'd check before comparing rates: * Do they notify you and give time to top up before liquidating, or is it automatic and instant? * Is your BTC held in their custody, or verifiable on-chain? * What's their track record when markets move fast? FTX taught everyone that APY means nothing if the platform has issues. Once those boxes are checked, then compare rates. Optimising APY before liquidation mechanics is the wrong order. Cheers

TrustLordJesusChrist

99% of the BTC will have been mined at some point in 2035 according to Saylor. Does the math confirm this?

Realistic_Fee_00001

🤷‍♂️ Only for a tiny fraction of the population since the crippling. If any bank starts using it as "settlement" layer say your immutable tx goodbye. It is not mostly true, it is mostly false. In fact at any single day only 0.005% of the population can transact on BTC. if the top 1% make a single tx every 200 days no one else will. Now add Banks to the mix.... And no LN doesn't solve this, because people will not get onto LN self custodial either. If people understood just how crippled BTC is the whole crypto space would look very different.

Realistic_Fee_00001

> No it can be used for other stuff though, like paying for goods at certain businesses while getting discounts and sending to people all over the world. So you might want to actually look into that before saying that. BTC got hijacked and crippled to prohibit exactly that. With just 4 tps the use as MoE for payments is out of the question at any significant scale. Peter Todd additionally killed 0-conf meaning you should always wait at least 1 conf (10min) before accepting a payment. And no LN does not help, because people cannot get onto LN at scale with 4 tps either. That's why people say it got stripped of it's use case. Also the reason why Bitcoiners forked into Bitcoin Cash. It is the Bitcoin where you can actually achieve this.

The sad part is we still have to go through the bank if we want cash for the BTC we sell. (I don’t sell) but I wonder about this someday…

Investors in the middle east are buying bitcoin as an insurance because they can't trust anything else. >I also think it has deviated from its original purpose. Go and read the Bitcoin white paper. The original purpose is still the same. Just people realized Bitcoin can and will, do more than one thing.

Depends on what their debts are. Sure they may have that BTC but also might be sitting on 2x that of bad loans.

I disagree. If anything, BTC is alluring because it isn't tied to a war machine. I'm glad to hold a currency that isn't responsible for dropping bombs on children.

Interesting angle. In situations like this I usually try to separate the story from the mechanics: do we have any recent confirmations on the BTC holdings (audited statements, wallet info, filings), and what does the float/liquidity look like on OTC if someone actually tried to build a position? If the BTC is real and accessible, the discount could be wild, but OTC can stay irrational for a long time. Not marketing related, but we have a quick checklist we use for evaluating these kinds of narratives vs fundamentals here: https://blog.promarkia.com/

BTC wasn’t $61K yesterday or even the past week

Why does a BCH propaganda paper show BTC in its thumbnail

BTC got deliberately hijacked and crippled. They want even higher fees and killed 0-conf instant payments.

It doesn’t really matter why; AI agents are going to play a key role in investment strategy going forward, and they love BTC.

Partially, but people in Iran or other places like say Africa, South America, they don't have access to paper BTC.

Anything that has to do with buying BTC is a good strategy, even DCA during bull market. Anyone too scared to pull the trigger is a pussy.

Good news is 1 BTC still equals 1 BTC

Take your profits and switch them to USDC. Buy the dip. BTC isn’t down anytime soon

ETH is way more secure but there’s also a very real reason that you can’t actually attack BTC with $16B. The hardware doesn’t exist. You can’t actually buy $16B worth the ASIC miners. The real problem is halvings and the fact that Bitcoin’s security budget gets lower every 4 years unless it rapidly increases in price.

Synthetic BTC is the problem.

I use Coinbase so can choose to buy 0.00069420 BTC 🤣
