BTC

Yep. Sure are. The ATO doesn't give a dead rat's dried out arse what anyone believes. It's the law. Tax law to be specific. You are on the hook if you convert one crypto to another. It's extremely difficult when dealing with lots of alts, so STOP BUYING ALTS is my advice and just stick to fucking BTC. It not only will be more profitable but a whole heck of a lot less stressful come tax time when you gotta do all that fucking paperwork. It's a pain in the arse dealing will silly memecoins and useless "tech" projects that have promised everything and delivered diddly jack shit, when all along if I'd been a BTC maxi I'd be so ooooooo much better off. Fuck alts, they're a side show, and a less and less relevant one as time goes on. They were a stepping stone for people to get cheap or even free BTC but those days are really starting to park out on the pasture.

ça ne veut pas dire que Bitcoin est faible. Ce qui a changé, c'est ce qui influence Bitcoin maintenant. Cycles précédents : Chocs d'offre du halving (réduction de moitié de la production de nouveaux Bitcoins) Spéculation des particuliers Aujourd'hui : Conditions de liquidité (combien d'argent circule dans l'économie) Taux d'intérêt de la Fed Flux institutionnels (banques, fonds d'investissement qui achètent) Cycles économiques plus larges Le halving compte toujours, mais son impact est plus petit. En 2012, l'offre quotidienne baissait de milliers de BTC. En 2024, la réduction n'était que de quelques centaines. Bitcoin passe d'un cycle de 4 ans à un cycle guidé par la liquidité.

Where is the biggest Bitcoin exchange to fall? FTX gone, cz paid the price for binance. Leverage gone. Saylor has billions to run on flat BTC. You are delusional

oldmanbeganat47

Very relatable - I never have enough cash in my bank account the lend money to anyone. Then again I don’t have one BTC yet so jokes on me.

Raspiblitz works flawlessly BTC only. Just don’t set up lightning unless you want it. I have two nodes that run mempool and explorer with very minimal maintenance. https://docs.raspiblitz.org/docs/setup/software-setup/download

I prefer to pay with my fiat monkey money rather than my BTC standard.

tldr; The crypto market starts 2026 with bullish momentum, driven by macroeconomic factors and cryptocurrency-specific developments. Bitcoin holds above $91,000, ETH above $3,100, and altcoins like DOGE see gains over 5%. ETF inflows for BTC and ETH total $646 million. Key events this week include Turkey inflation data, US manufacturing PMI, employment reports, and Ethereum updates. Employment and inflation data will influence the Fed's interest rate decisions, potentially increasing volatility in cryptocurrencies over the next two weeks. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

BTC at its 4th green day straight.... should be we expecting the mother of the middle finger?

Odd_Fun5012

Honestly same here, I'm mostly just HODLing and treating it like a savings account that hopefully beats inflation The only thing I've actually spent BTC on was some VPN services and maybe a few random things online, but nothing major since the fees can be annoying for small purchases

Francis_Dollar_Hide

You do not need anyones permission to make financial decisions with your own 'currency'. Thats the whole fucking point of BTC.

WickedDeity

No thanks... I stack Bitcoin as an investment and hedge against inflation. Spending BTC can be a tax event in the US. Sorry but using cash is just more convenient.

BeBackInASchmeck

I had $20k to invest in 2012, and asked reddit for suggestions. Someone suggested Bitcoin, but did it in a really shady way by including a link to his own wallet. I was curious about Bitcoin at the time, but very skeptical. When that commenter shared that link, I completely lost my curiosity in Bitcoin, and assumed it was just a scam. A few months later, it blew up, and I managed to buy 10 BTC at around $400, and sold them all when it broke $1000 l, all using coinbase. I was really disappointed that I didn't invest it earlier. At the time, a friend of mine had thousands of BTC and was able to retire at 28. Then in April 2014, I met with my accountant to do my taxes, and brought it my coinbase transactions showing my profits. The accountant was sketched out about it and told me not to show it to him, and made a big deal about it being shady. At that point, I figured that I got what I needed out of Bitcoin, and stopped paying attention.

antaran

They bought BTC with a crypto-currency they can print at will. No real money was involved in this transaction.

ElderMight

Your house might be worth $10M someday but it likely won't because bitcoin as a store or value will probably absorb the premium of real estate. Housing prices come down to their utility. Bitcoin appreciates *much* faster than real estate, and in fact housing prices have been crashing to zero (in BTC) over the last 10+ years.

Quirky-Reveal-1669

Paying/buying/spending Bitcoin is good. Is is not the same as selling through a CEX, which in my philosophy is never done. (Selling through a DEX may be a slightly different story.) After such an operation, I immediately replace the BTC that were used, by buying some with fiat.

No_Hour6830

Well $0 once it’s in your wallet. But actually buying it off an exchange you pay like 0.5% + a huge spread, then you have to own at least two hardware wallets imo, a couple of metal seedphrase plates, the 40-50 cents for each transfer. It’s pretty significant. If you WANT the benefits of cold storage, it’s great. But if you don’t? It’s a massive headache, likely more expensive, and certainly riskier than the ETF. Not to mention, very easy estate planning with the ETF. If god forbid something happens to you, a simple beneficiary will ensure the Bitcoin ETF goes to the right person. Raw BTC? It’s a lot more complicated.

EndlessSummerburn

Losing access to the wallets I used to buy pot seeds on Agora with. At the time it was standard to overpay a little bit to cover price fluctuations and there was also always leftover “dust” that wasn’t worth paying the transaction fee to get out. I’m sure there’s some BTC in there. I don’t like to think about how much money is in there. I consider it a donation, it’s locked up forever.

Rscottys1

I just think it’s overrated. My house will also be worth $10M someday. I DCA a little bit weekly as a hobby. Retired so I have some time to tinker with my BTC miner and put away some play money. I guess my great great great great grandchildren will reap the benefits of my hobby

warrior178

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Let’s say I sold $100,000 in BTC on hot wallet. How much of that will I lose to fees?

bobbyv137

Not me personally, but I did 'orange pill' someone in late 2022. After spending literally hours on Google Meet calls sharing as much information as I could, they agreed it was a worthy "alternative investment" so wanted to buy in. They opened a proper KYC account with an approved exchange in their home country and even deposited fiat ready to go. When it hit the 200w sma (historically an excellent time to buy), I recommended they do so. Despite having enough funds in the account to buy 1.5 BTC instantly, they 'only' bought 0.2. Then it dumped to $15k and I urged them to go all in. But, after watching "an experienced YouTuber" they were convinced it was going to $12k. It never did. So they never bought anymore. The rest, as we know, is history. It's 'funny' as tho we still speak often, Bitcoin now is never mentioned.

longonbtc

Which exchange is best for you depends on what country you are a resident of. [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/ 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. And [Strike](https://strike.me/), [River](https://river.com/), [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/), and [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) are all good reliable places to buy bitcoin from.

Silver-Engineer4287

Right… a decade of mining… I got that much, thanks. Still averages over 400 BTC a year over a decade.

P_Crypto4394

I remember when goofballs said ETF’s was good for BTC and ETH.

intelw1zard

I've had SOL, ETH, BTC, and ADA on auto purchase monthly for all of 2024 and 2025.

MariachiArchery

Sovereign wealth funds/strategic reserves. If the current price trend holds, meaning we kind of stay put where we are now in ETH and BTC, I think more and more countries will start to create strategic reserves, as a hedge against a weakening US dollar. *Especially* as tensions rise in the South China Sea. I think more and more nations are going to look for a different, or alternative, currency reserve. If BTC and ETH can maintain stability, it could be a good move, as it will both hold value, and is easy to transact with. I think sovereignties will join the party.

_ShakenBacon

Buying BTC to play poker on Bovada and Ignition, not knowing the amounts I was buying would change my life if I had never sold them.

Flashy-North-7261

You have to realize BTC is very a volatile investment. I am 54 and do not put into it anything I am not willing to lose! With that said I have thrown in a few hundred bucks over the last 10yrs and my portfolio has doubled enough were I have taken it off a exchange, and purchased a Ledger to hold it. So far I am doing excellent with it, but remember this is disposable income I have invested. If it drops I won't starve! Depending on age it's good practice to have a portfolio of safe investments. CD's, 401k, IRA's etc.. Honestly at this time my BTC has returned me 1.5x my money even when it's down. I still feed my secure investments, but it would be stupid of me to not feed Lunch Money to BTC when it's down. This could get huge!!!

DeeW2017

I think BTC will reach some more new ATH but 10x is hard to see any time soon or maybe ever. Crypto is changing, it’s not just buy and get rich anymore. The crypto with the best returns will be the ones that have utility once it’s mass adopted

RonPaulWasR1ght

One that people often don't consider - if you are DCAing and have a bunch of small UTXOs, then you need to consolidate them while fees are low! I didn't realize this and ended up getting caught having to pay a good bit in fees to get mine consolidated. If you don't, you could end up with worthless UTXOs as the amount of them doesn't exceed the fees needed to consolidate them. Also - ordering a miner from eBay and trying my hand at home mining...yeah that was a learning experience and a major loss. Just buy the BTC. If you're worried about KYC, then use a mixer. But don't try home mining. You have no comparative advantage over the "big boys". Good luck out there!

Extension-Map4918

Damn it, this isn't like other months. BTC is taking forever to rise, but I'll still hold until I die.

Accurate_Green8300

Had a friend that was seriously leveraged into strategy.. I think he actually took out loans upwards of.. $750k to put into it.. dude had a “net worth of $1.8M” last I talked with him.. wonder how he’s doing now 🤔 he also has a lot of BTC tho

akcryptofinancial

If you forget your keys or don’t touch your BTC/or any digital asset for years, what happens depends 100% on whether it’s self-custody (decentralized) or custodial (centralized): Self-custody / decentralized (you hold the private keys): Nothing “times out” on the blockchain. BTC doesn’t expire and there’s no inactivity rule. But if you lose the keys/seed phrase, the coins are effectively gone forever—no reset, no recovery, no state, no company can move them. Custodial / centralized (exchange/broker/app holds the keys): You’re not holding the keys—they are. If the account sits inactive long enough, it can be treated like a dormant bank/brokerage account under unclaimed property laws, and the custodian may have to turn over the value to the state after required notices. That’s not the government “taking from the blockchain,” it’s the custodian complying. So: self-custody = sovereignty but zero recovery. Custody = recovery options but legal/third-party exposure.

ResolutionPopular562

18,250 a year to BTC is like just under a third of what i make a year before tax lol

repomies69

Electrum offers atomic swaps from LN to onchain. It finds swapping partners via nostr. First, open a channel to some big LN node. Then you can do an atomic swap to a fresh BTC address. After that you have essentially guaranteed separate coins in a new address. However your counterparty will have the data from the tx, you can use multiple counterparties and do it in smaller increments.

SeemedGood

Their liability doesn’t pay interest, but they are getting paid interest **for taking rate risk** as well as default risk. Yes, “money market”instruments have low TVM discounts and liquidity premiums, but if your liabilities are theoretically *redeemable at par on demand* but your assets aren’t, then your liabilities aren’t actually redeemable on demand at par. Then add to that the fact that some of your assets (aka BTC) actually have high return volatility and we arrive at the inevitable conclusion that the “stablecoins” are just banks by another name except that they don’t pay any interest at all for their capitalization. As any old-timer Wall Street trader will tell you, “pegs” are unsustainable. You may keep the scam running for years or even decades, but eventually pegging movies always end with someone getting rogered without Vaseline.

thomas533

I put my Bitcoin on a Ledger hardware wallet. I wrote down my recovery phase but didn't safely store it. I think I might have put it in my dresser and forgot about it. Some number of years later, a housekeeper decided to clean up my dresser and probably tossed it. At dome point later I decided to load up my ledger and check on it. Ledger has changed their software and it required me to upgrade the firmware. The instructions said the process might wipe out the info on the wallet so I should confirm I have my backup keys. That was when I realized I didn't. Long story short, the firmware update wiped the wallet. I never did find my backup keys. 12 BTC lost.

Manic-Optimist

Lost BTC on custodial wallet on localbitcoins .. they “close down” and ended up charging exorbitant amount of fees. Left only 1/4 of what I had. Lesson: self custody!!

Crypto-Camel420

Too many to count but trusting a 3rd party with my BTC was the worst.

SeaOutlandishness595

Ok but... The first 2K coins, half the total, were mined in just one year from 2017-2018. Cost to mine at that time must have been crazy low - BTC was between $1000 and $5000 for most of 2017 before popping close to 20k at years end. If we assume they didn't mine at any instantaneous loss, the average energy cost to mine those first 2k btc had to be below $2.5k/btc, i.e. under $4M total energy cost for the first half of the coins. The cost to mine the subsequent coins is going to follow a curve upwards based on increasing btc price, mining difficulty, energy cost (potentially), etc. but point is the cost to mine all these over the time period that they were mined in accordance with the accumulation curve we see in the chart, it comes to nowhere near as much as the hypothetical current cost to mine all these coins right now lol

akcryptofinancial

California “seizing unclaimed Bitcoin” is being misunderstood — this is about custodial crypto, not decentralized wallets A lot of the panic around “California can seize your Bitcoin” is coming from people not separating custodial/centralized crypto from decentralized/self-custody. This bill is basically unclaimed property / dormant asset rules being applied to custodial crypto—the same concept that exists for inactive bank and brokerage accounts. Here’s the difference in plain terms: Centralized / Custodial (exchange, brokerage app, hosted wallet): The platform controls the wallet and/or the private keys (or they control withdrawals). If your account goes inactive long enough to be considered “unclaimed,” the state can require the custodian to comply and turn over the value under unclaimed property law. That’s not “the government taking it from the blockchain.” It’s a regulated intermediary complying—like traditional finance. Decentralized / Self-custody (hardware wallet / non-custodial wallet): You control the private keys. Nobody can move your BTC without your signature. There’s no intermediary to compel, so the “state seizing BTC from the blockchain” framing doesn’t really apply. So the real takeaway isn’t “decentralized crypto is unsafe.” It’s: if you leave assets on custodial platforms, you’re subject to their legal obligations (including dormant/unclaimed rules). If you self-custody, your main risk is key management (and inheritance planning). Curious what others think: are the headlines just sloppy, or is anyone seeing actual bill language that suggests something beyond custodial compliance?

OldKentRoad29

I bought 2400 dollars worth of cardano a few years back. I should've just bought BTC.

SpoonPlateAndAFork

I remember I first bought the fraction of BTC in 2019 for about 20€ at that time. Bought the coffee and some other shit. Final amount was under 1€. Today it would have been 30x higher. Anyway. My mistake was not reading and learning about it enough then..

No_Hour6830

If you’re not going to self custody, there’s no point in buying actual bitcoin. It’s cheaper, easier, and far more secure to just buy the ETF. With that said, you lose some of the most valuable properties of BTC. Financial sovereignty, 24/7 liquidity, the ability to transfer money 24/7, etc. But if you just want to speculate on price and get a fiat outcome, the ETF is the best thing you can buy. You pay a 25bps management fee, but it’s going to take a long time holding it to be worse than the spread + fees on an exchange.

Well I can give you a hint they are usually attracted to the same type of male and if there is one around very hot he will catch all the attention and all other boys around will not be noticed. A little âme thing happen with bitcoin against million of other coins all attention goes to BTC right?

auniqueusername2567

Yup. I was earning 1 BTC roughly every 1.5 days and I preferred to use my graphics card for AION (gaming) instead. Of course, I also had a chance to buy it cheap but sending money to Japan seemed way too sketchy at the time. It was using MtGox and that could have made me lose it all anyway, so who knows how that could have turned out.

Personal_Setting6761

I did some online casino back in 2016 with BTC. Maybe it's me lol

auniqueusername2567

Same! My 18 BTC miner earned about 0.2 in rewards since it was one of the first ASICs available in the US at the time.

2xfun

I think the narrative will never shift. And TBH the "we are still so early" claim is also not suitable anymore. BTC just turned 17 yo and retail interest have been gone since 3 years now despite all the bullish news. At some point we are not early anymore and we must admit that people are too stuck in the FIAT mindset (making money out of real estate and the stock market) to ever change. I think this is where we are now. Idiocracy and ignorance won.

>but you can buy drugs off the internet with btc! I'm always entertained by people who deny that a big use case for crypto is buying drugs, because "you can trace wallets" and "it's not really private" and yadda yadda yeadda. Meanwhile, in reality, there's a whole bunch of places to buy drugs online and just about all of them operate in BTC.

Nothin' like a nice, quiet, low-volume weekend where Crypto is slowly creeping up in price to be able to just ignore it all & enjoy your weekend doing other things. There was apparently even a nice little $50M liquidation of shorts about 80 minutes ago for icing on the cake as BTC touched $90.7k. I hope that ruined the shorters' Saturday lmao.

He answered in the thread, it was "only" 0.5 BTC. So still worth the effort with today's value, but far from the generational wealth you might imagine

Literally no break in the cycle.  The cycle is still holding, the halving in 2024 was just earlier than previous cycles.  It's not based on a literal calendar year.   The bottoms and ATH are historically 12-18mo before and after the halving.  We're right on schedule.  🤔 I'm about sick of folks that don't understand the BTC cycle.  But that's fine.  I'll continue to get rich off your ignorance.  Again.    HODL to 2029.  💪

I’ll buy your BTC for you, and send it to any wallet you want. Find an “escrow service provider” that you like and is trustworthy. My fee would be 10% of purchase, and you cover all escrow fees and costs.

If you want to gamble go to a casino. If you want to invest in crypto buy BTC and ETH. All the others are just poker chips on the roulette table.

BaldBear_13

It was likely a group of people, who want to preserve the mysterious image, or do not want the attention that this revelation will generate. I do not see what would "those in power" gain from this revelation. The cat is out of the bag, the blockchain works as intended, founder(s) have no control over it, so even if founders are somehow controversial, it will not change BTC direction. Lots of rich people make or made money from BTC, and it would be profitable to generate a drop or spike in it, but if Satoshi identity was easy to find, it would have been done already.

Demodras777

Research the top 100 and see which 5 (always at least BTC) makes the most sense to you. Buy them when they are down 4x from their most recent (2 year) top. Then sell half at 2x and the other at 3x. Rinse and repeat with the same coins if you still have the same conviction.

That's what bitcoin is for. I believe there will be massive asset seizures by governments world wide in my lifetime. Buy bitcoin and hold hour keys.

CompetitiveAppeal663

I’ve always just used the exchanges and they obviously know who I am….what happens if I sell my BTC for cash?? Then what if I buys someone else’s BTC with that same cash?? And maybe even find a group of people to split it up and shuffle it around?? Or even if I “sold” my BTC for cash and moved it from my cold wallet to “some stranger’s” (def not my other cold wallet). Does any of this anonymize it??

Few-Engineering9803

Step 1: Work like a madman and live like a sewer rat for a few years and invest every available penny into BTC. Step 2: Get enough so you can live of the compounding gains eventually. Step 3; Quit your job, enjoy life.

houdinic4

Strike allows you to send usd to any BTC lightning wallet. You get what I'm saying?

XXsforEyes

At 18 you have enough of a time to screw it up either way. Experience is the best teacher. Regardless, I’ll say this: A get rich quick scheme, this ain’t. The more you learn about Bitcoin, the higher your conviction. You clearly thought BTC only goes up, and no investment does that. No one has ever lost money holding BTC securely for four years. Educate yourself and you’ll have diamond hands.

MiserablePhilosophy

The 35€ is already lost. Think back to when you bought the BTC and what the plan was. If you wanted to gamble for a month or two then take it out take the hit and call it a day. If the plan was to invest it for the future and let it rise for years then keep it.

No_Difficulty7633

Very few traders make money trading BTC short term. If you want life changing money hold for at least 10 yrs and always have some cash to average out when price drops below your cost basis.

Manuel_Alde

It wouldn't matter to me if I had a steady salary and was 30 years old. But I'm an 18-year-old student, all I have is €400 on Revolut, €160 of which is in BTC, and for me, losing that €35 would mean losing a large part of what I have...

frecklie

This is a nice little uplifting speech you wrote to yourself, but it doesn’t reflect reality. Small scale bitcoin holders, people with less than one Bitcoin, control only 5% of all BTC. Even accounting for users with 1-10 BTC that’s an additional 9% of users. That means 86% of all BTC is owned by people/institutions that have essentially $1 million+ of the currency. The wrong people already have it, the workers are cut out. Do you see that?
