BTC

mrmarketinguy

I am already into US, China, European stocks, mutual funds, gold etc. And I will continue to add to my positions. The 2K is money I have decided to put on crypto. I will also be adding another 3-4K to my other accounts. Thing is BTC has had a good run so I am skeptical into buying a large amount currently.

soks86

Coinbase owns CDE which is CFTC regulated and this would most definitely allow them to let you trade perps against BTC. This is end game stuff, might explain the ETF selloff too. No one wanted to pay that 1% to BlackRock and co.

EveningGreat7381

Here's your BTC sir: [7d62f3f8c240aba4843315c61282a8015d041337a17c5e54dad347eaa23ab5c2](https://bitaps.com/7d62f3f8c240aba4843315c61282a8015d041337a17c5e54dad347eaa23ab5c2)

People too cheap for BTC find out they set their money on fire instead of profiting.

tornavec

When BTC breaks down, it's a one-way street. The fact we're chopping sideways with no Santa Claus rally just proves the point.

Aggressive_Spell2314

Economists are saying 4 year cycle has no bearing on Bitcoin anymore. It's now driven by global liquidity, ETFs, institutional adoption, sovereign buying, regulation...etc. It is possible to see ATH in 2026 or 2027. Lynn Alden said BTC is maturing like gold. Gold has no clock that moves its price around. I thought that was an interesting point.

KlearCat

> BTC is 0.85% of its endowment This is wild. I know many newbs here think this is normal, but you'd be downvoted to oblivion if you said this would happen just a few years ago.

"On 27 June 2014, the U.S. Marshals Service sold 29,657 bitcoins in 10 blocks in an online auction, estimated to be worth $18 million" "Another 144,342 bitcoins were kept....Tim Draper bought the bitcoins at the auction with an estimated worth of $17 million" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road_(marketplace) How does it feel, when your government sold over 170K BTC for a lousy $35M?

Nice strategy ! BingX is a great exchange to DCA BTC I’ve been doing it myself this month since the feature launched I believe it’s going to the moon eventually. It’s best to just buy some and hold whatever you’re comfortable with.

aksinya_sidorova

I’ve been DCA’ing about $500 a month, and I’m actually considering upping it. The sentiment right now feels kinda meh, which usually isn’t a bad time to accumulate if you’re long-term minded. Let’s see what things look like heading into the next halving. Also, unless we get a full-on market meltdown, I don’t really see how anyone’s hitting 4 BTC before then 😂 so don’t stress those moon-goals too much. I’ve also been using BingX’s recurring buy, super convenient, set it monthly and forget it. I also throw my idle USDT into their earn section to pick up some passive income on the side. But USDT depreciates recently, no harms done though to hedge against its depreciation.

Evening-Concern7146

I’m staying on solid ground, but I've lost my BTC ever since the Trump son got involved

Aggressive_Spell2314

Sounds like you have meme coins and microcaps. Shitcoins have no liquidity. Hold for now, BTC could rebound in Q1 2026.

UpostedDude

Well you are safe. But need to consider the bonding time. I had a reasonable chunk of DOT and BTC on bonded earn. About two weeks before the main market drop I realised there was a high chance of correction and started to redeem. It took 30 days and by then toooooo late. Market plunged and I was stuck. Not selling but another lesson, don’t stake unless you are sure of market and security both.

WiseChest8227

Honestly the more they buy the more it puts me off BTC.

Cheap_Basil6570

Realized my goal is basically 2 BTC. Running the numbers backward, $350/month from now until the 2028 halving gets me there even with conservative 60–80k cycle tops.

Cheap_Basil6570

My magic number is $400/month until 2030. That plus staking rewards on the side should land me 3–5 BTC..

SwimmingPatience5083

You’re down 70% on BTC?

Connect_Gold_8148

I do $200 split BTC/ETH 70/30 every paycheck. Use BingX recurring buys so it just happens automatically at 9 am on payday. Zero thinking and zero emotion.

Don’t sell. I bought more. Still stacking. Trying to get to 1 BTC.

EveningGreat7381

crypto_nerd_21

The shift you’re describing is basically Bitcoin’s institutional takeover phase. Retail washed out, headlines turned bearish, and that’s exactly when the big players stepped in with fully built ETF and derivatives rails. The timing isn’t an accident. Institutions don’t want volatility or custody headaches, they want predictable fee flows and controlled exposure. ETFs let them package Bitcoin into something familiar and profitable. What’s interesting is how the system is pushing people toward these fee products while making direct balance-sheet exposure less attractive. MSCI excluding companies that hold BTC is a good example. It steers capital away from the “Bitcoin as treasury asset” model and toward Wall Street versions that charge a percentage forever. For most people, it means you have to decide whether you want actual BTC or exposure to a product that someone else custodies. Tools like [awaken.tax](http://awaken.tax) do make the differences painfully clear when you see how much of your “Bitcoin exposure” is ETF wrappers versus coins you actually hold. At the same time, this is usually when smaller fundamentals-first projects start quietly gaining relevance because they’re not tied to institutional rails. Things like Money Protocol or Intrinsic show a different direction, one closer to the original ethos of crypto, even if they’re still early. The big picture is that Bitcoin isn’t fighting the system anymore. It’s being absorbed by it. The question now is whether that strengthens it or dilutes what made it unique in the first place.

how much were the transaction fees? (i wish i had my 17 BTC fron 2013)

iamjide91

This is no financial advice. This is just my way of flipping lower caps faster to sell for BTC. And I get why some people might be against it. But I will never put down another person's strategy. We all do what works for us innit?

Amimir1992

According to my calculations, with $400 a month until 2032 and assuming the price of Bitcoin stays at $90,000 for all that time, it will still be impossible, because you would only be able to accumulate about 0.38 BTC. Future crashes will be very helpful for stacking more sats. The problem is that we don’t know when they’ll happen, how big they’ll be, or how long they’ll last, even though those events would actually improve your ability to accumulate. I don’t want to discourage you, but at this pace you won’t be able to get a full bitcoin unless you increase your monthly contributions to at least $1,000 so you can buy around 1% of a bitcoin every month while the current bear cycle lasts.

PirateSKB

Most people just want numbah go up lol Past that, not much really. I was looking at one of my altcoin wallets and it had around $4k worth of crypto in it. I will never spend it, because I CBA to go through the hoops to even use it on anything, let alone convert it to USD. Same with BTC, Eth, and most of my other holdings Most people will just keep using credit / cash for the foreseeable future, but adoption is there, but I just can't see it being "non-niche" in the future

Other_Importance249

In what universe is 2-4 BTC going to cost $33,600? Right now it's about $90,000 per 1 BTC. The math ain't mathin' !!!

Sudden-Ad-1217

You’re missing the formula. Bitcoin is the treasury ie, the reserve currency. CBDCs are pegged, backed, by satoshi’s CBDCs then can be traded as needed across borders based on arrangements based on policies Reality is new “asset classes” (property, titles, cars, housing, IDs, insurance, etc) get tokenized for record keeping, then it allows collateral for new types of credit and borrowing to happen. It’s really easy once you realize the BTC stack never gets spent, and the value only goes up, which means your borrowing power is infinite.

trustmedude913

Because as mentioned BTC is decentralized, while CBDC is centralized. CBDCs have unlimited supply ie. someone has to govern it. That someone is in full control, there's no privacy, they can also ban people or groups and manipulate the economy/value at any time. Of course US wouldn't want to switch to BTC because they are today in control/and if they can stay in the control, nothing will change. US arguably wouldn't want the USD to be backed by anything, I'm sure they would like to be the ones that others back against, so that they can dictate the value, cost, control, and so on. All of which brought us so many times to conflicts in the world. BUT other countries (ie. not US, Russia, China) have the incentive to switch to BTC - why, because they would be in control over their own CBDC which is backed by Bitcoin and not someone else's centralized goverment. At the point when smaller countries start switching to BTC, US has to find a way how to stay relevant, and this is what we see today. They will either start conflicts (either direct or proxy wars)(because arguably USD today is backed by the US controlling and bullying others) or alternatively, US will want to become the leader in BTC so that they can stay relevant, otherwise the ship will sail, USD will lose value, and world economy will switch to a system where US isn't relevant anymore. -- Just to also lay this out in simple terms. Let's say I personally have a CBDC of my own. You, as a person, do you want to use mine, or would you want to have yours or use something more reliable and trustworthy?

tldr; The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a pilot program allowing bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and USD Coin (USDC) to be used as collateral in U.S. derivatives markets. The initiative aims to establish clear rules for tokenized collateral, including real-world assets like U.S. Treasuries. Futures commission merchants meeting specific criteria can accept these digital assets as margin collateral under strict reporting and custody requirements.

BTC was literally the only good investment lol

Does anyone else wonder when a 3rd world central bank starts printing just to buy Bitcoin and secures something like 1m coins ahead of anyone and everyone else and then just bases their currency on the BTC backing with a public address? They could front run almost every other country at this point and be one of the richest countries in < 10 years.... interesting to think about.

Happy_Discussion_536

Are you talking about BTC? Because there is sufficient and consistent demand for its use.

Sudden-Ad-1217

Listen--- people don't want to hear that "Tokenization" is a thing, but in reality, it's going to replace the current "out dated" structure of how things are done. BlackRock, JPMC, etc. will lead the way to the "traditional" segment of credit sectors, but Strategy will lead the way for truly the next "what's next" when it comes to money, banking, etc. STRC is essentially a leveraged bond (but not in the traditional sense like TMF) of which is backed by capital investment. "Capital Investment" is loosely defined but the point is it tracks with Saylor's statement around "digital real-estate". The point is, BTC will never be sold against assets generated against it as the "backed" asset that, in theory will always go up, despite the volatility of the "now". The reality is, these types of tokens will replace traditional payment systems and/or "net-new" payment systems will at the very least, bridge to these new "Tokenized" assets because it will allow people to take leverage out in new ways, which create new capital, which creates more jobs, which creates.... you fill in the blank. Saylor's "big bet" that he isn't tell anyone because they are too low IQ to understand is Bitcoin is the backed spending strategy that everyone will use because you will have unlimited, Tokenized capital to invest and spend because.... surprise.....!!!!! You're the F'NING BANK! :)

nugymmer

It's actually literally the best thing about BTC. It's just so, so, so fucking scarce. It's why people take an interest in it and not a bunch of alt coins that have yet to prove their real worth. BTC doesn't have to prove diddly jack shit.

nugymmer

DeFi was a stepping stone for those in the know to get easy access to cheap or even free BTC. Pretty simp concept, right?

nugymmer

Truth in this, the one thing that hasn't changed is that people are still writing up alt coins or meme coins with the sole purpose of getting cheap or free BTC. Pretty sweet concept, yeah? That's what most alts are - stepping stones to get cheap or even free BTC, and for the developers to be millionaires whilst those who brought liquidity to the table get fucked over as per usual. Same old story. Create a new "groundbreaking project". Bring in new people for liquidity. Get your free/cheap BTC, and while you're doing that, of course, naturally, you fuck 'em over. It's why people become BTC maximalists. Is it too hard to blame them?

Did this for stocks and BTC, highly recommended. Regular buys, and skip a day out and throw extra money at things if they take a dive. Don't sell unless retired.

Financial_Design_801

When you trade derivatives (futures, swaps), you have to post collateral. This is called margin. Traditionally, that means cash or Treasury securities. The CFTC just said: okay, you can now post bitcoin instead. If you're an institution with a bunch of BTC on your balance sheet, you previously had to sell it or park it somewhere useless while you put up separate cash for your derivatives positions. Now you can use the BTC itself. That's capital efficiency in the most literal sense.

Where is MSTR getting this fiat to loan out? They only have BTC. If you own BTC and want to take a loan out against it, you are doing what MSTR is currently doing. So you want MSTR to start doing the exact opposite? Do you not understand? In order for MSTR to make money off their BTC stack, people would be borrowing MSTRs BTC, not borrowing against their own BTC. MSTR can’t give loans to people with BTC as collateral because they have no fiat, they only have BTC.

devCheckingIn

That's odd I just read an article this morning where some firm claimed they did an analysis and found that there was basically no correlation between BTC and tech stocks.

Zigxy

One of these days we’re going to see an early adopter of Bitcoin get divorced, be unable/unwilling to hide the assets, and we will see a billion dollars worth of BTC dumped on the market by the ex wife. Fun times.

Steezy_Steve1990

There is demand for it. How many Bitcoin whales would love to use their BTC as collateral to get a loan. They don’t have to sell their BTC which means no taxes. Strategy as a first market mover on this can tap into billions of dollars worth of BTC to be collateralized and Strategy can make interest on all that Bitcoin. Think about the amount of revenue generated from interest on billions of dollars worth of BTC. All that profit can be used to buy BTC. Don’t know if interest would be paid in BTC or fiat, probably will have the option for either.

Aaata-

It has been a shitty year for alts because alt market is diluted af, on pumpfun alone there is 20000 new tokens created daily, leverage perps are available in a few clicks and without kyc now. Retail is getting max extracted and is not buying to hold large caps, instead chasing the next 100x and getting rekt. And institutional money is going in BTC and not much in alts.

FilmDazzling4703

One major reason I got into BTC is so I wouldn’t be supporting the military with my money. Your dollar is your vote, I’m not going to put it behind things I believe are spiritually compromisable and morally bankrupt

The_Real_Opie

It's just dumb anyway. An human that dies with his keys is functionally identical to a robot that never sells. There's no difference. It's dead BTC.

Zarigis

USDT has the advantage of trading 1:1 with USD on Bitrefill. In contrast, if you use BTC then they're going to charge you based on the current BTC/USD market rate, and the rate they give may not be great. Note, however, that Tron fees are comparatively pretty high. If you can get it on an L2 chain like Arbitrum or Polygon then you'll save money (both are supported by Bitrefill).

Hfksnfgitndskfjridnf

What money? They’re spending all their money to buy BTC. Why would they stop doing that? Why are they going to become a lender when they are a huge borrower?

Sinister_Tuna

Please take a look at the weekly BTC/USD chart from either Bitstamp or the CME, whichever you prefer. I’d appreciate it if you could point out specifically where you see a bear market developing, because from my perspective the recent movement could still fit within a broader upward trend. At the moment, there’s no clear indication that the larger bullish structure has been invalidated. It’s understandable to compare the current price action to what we saw in early February 2022. In that period we did get a bounce, but the price eventually continued downward, which effectively started a weekly bear market. My point is simply that our minds tend to look for familiar patterns — especially ones that happened recently — but the market doesn’t necessarily have to follow the same path again. So while there may indeed be bearish behavior on the lower timeframes, the medium- to long-term trend still appears constructive, even if several moving averages have been broken along the way.

tomatalez

Okay let's go back in time a lil bit before I own all BTC, price is going up like crazy because some big whale is buying even if price goes up. Does it go up to infinity or will it drop before I own all the coins.

NinjaChore

Congratulations, you own all of BTC, everyone now uses ETH, your BTC is worth nothing

FJ1989finance

Not immediately. The CFTC approval means Bitcoin can now be treated as eligible collateral inside regulated systems, but that doesn’t automatically mean that every platform offers it to users. Coinbase could allow BTC to be used as margin in the future, but today most platforms still use cash or stables until risk models and internal approvals are updated. So the permission exists, the actual usage will phase in gradually.

amanj41

Guess how much it costs to ship $4B in gold… BTC never was going to make it as a day to day small transaction settlement layer. Great store of value and cheaper and faster to settle physically than large amounts of cash or precious metals

lebastss

130 million is a lot of gold. Is it physical or paper? Did Harvard say they prefer BTC over gold or did the article draw this conclusion. It's incredibly difficult for private institutions to get their hands on physical gold.

terp_studios

Ah, found the idiot thinking they know what “satoshi’s vision” was. Wall Street adopting bitcoin was just as inevitable as people adopting it. You can’t have one and not the other if you want it to actually get anywhere. Nothing about the network has changed; anyone can use it anywhere they have an internet connection, there will only be 21 million BTC, and the only way you can get some is through purchasing at market price, or mining them. All the same as it was back in 2009, just with more security and liquidity.

Confident_Section568

Well I assume they cant just ask their money back But people can sell their MSTR and then how is he gonna deflate it even more? Will his BTC stack make it profitable to buy then Even if you can buy BTC yourself Well BTC has to dump below $75k for that Maybe the 4 year cycle is truely over but never seeimg $50-75k again I aint buying it... maybe im crazy

Part of it would be speed. I can drop $1 in a homeless man's cup without breaking my stride, which is way faster than pulling out my phone, aiming at a homeless man's QR code, setting how much I want to send, then clicking approve, then clicking approve again. I'm all for saying BTC is superior to fiat, but even I can admit that in some instances cash has some advantages.

Neat-Finger197

Sure, some OGs sell into strength in bull runs, this is nothing new. If I had 5000 BTC and sold 1000 as “lifestyle chips” who wouldn’t consider doing that? Those coins are then back on the market to be further “democratically” spread throughout the market, which drives further adoption. Your comment is normal investor behavior

So wait he created another stock and that will pay out dividends based on BTC's yield? And where is this money being paid out coming from If he doesnt sell BTC

Aromatic-Contact610

Yes! In that way you can use it - as something that swaps to USD during a transaction for a moment. But like as THE currency - no one would ever spend it. I sure don’t spend my BTC. If I use it for a transaction I immediately replace it with new BTC

VariatCA

I should clarify that Strategy (#MSTR) doesn't pay a dividend on their common stock, but they do pay dividends on their preferred stock STRC. They basically sold and diluted their common stock to raise & secure cash funds to pay out this preferred-stock dividend for STRC through basically all of 2026. I'm not in here trying to argue merits of buying their stock at all, and I own none of their products. The intent of my original post was just that with pressure reducing on them, confidence can return to BTC buyers that Saylor won't flood the market with cheap Bitcoin in a pinch.

the_Guy1996

Best thing about BTC is that you are always right as long as you are willing to wait. BTC to 60k? Sure. BTC to 150k? Also yes

epic_trader

Everything you say about BTC and mining is correct, yet you're completely missing the point. If the hashrate drops, the network is less secure. It becomes cheaper to attack the network, there's more mining hardware sitting idle on the sidelines which potentially could come back online to attack the network. Do you get it? The fact that the difficulty will adjust itself based on the hash rate or that you know the issuance schedule does absolutely nothing to make the network more secure. >In fact the less valuable ETH is the more transactions can be done on it, and the more value the apps that use it are! That's the entire point of Ethereum, that I think everyone is missing. This is nonsense and I don't know why you brought this up anyway (I mean I do know, but it's not relevant here). The cost of using the network isn't relative to the price of ETH, it's based entirely on demand for blockspace.

If you ask this.. you know nothing about BTC :)

VariatCA

And publicizing that you've got no necessity or intention of selling for years because you can cover your dividends with an established cash-reserve is a great way to get the target *off* their back for a while. It's saying "yeah you can try to keep up short pressure, but can you keep it up for *years* while I'm still leveraging my financial products to buy more BTC and simultaneously paying out my dividends without having to sell Bitcoin?"

You're worried about price, he's worried about quantity. Who cares what price he bought at -- I'd rather have 660k BTC.

VariatCA

MSTR holders definitely aren't out of the woods yet either, yeah, still down around -60% from July's high. Though compared to Bitcoin their investors also have to deal with dilution / debt / dividends / insolvency concerns. I'd imagine that some of BTC's recent downturn revolved around de-risking from the asset over MSTR concerns of potentially being forced to sell to cover expenses. If one was worried they would start saturating the market with BTC sales, they would sell first prior to that affecting the price. If concerns over them having to sell BTC are silenced, that can allow confidence to return to the market in that regard.

Typical-Split9803

Some of the posters here are the biggest idiots alive and don't even understand the basics of how a capitalist economy runs. Are we socialists now or what happened? Those governments are by law not allowed to hold these assets nor should any government just sit on assets idly. Especially not a criminal department. This a central banks job. And why would a government do that anyway? A government works completely differently to a private household and you can't compare that. Any government spending is money that is injected into the economy. If they start withholding money from the economy and keeping assets, that will be your spending power just sitting there not pushing the economy forward. What do you think will happen to bitcoin and stocks if the government is storing and keeping liquidity withheld? Ever heard of quantitative tightening? Do you actually want the government to do quantitative tightening besides a central bank? One entity removing liquidity is enough. So now, you want two? Here's the deal. In any capitalistic society, it is our job to grow our assets, because we are the one's who pay taxes. The government doesn't pay taxes; they receive them. Their job is to run services and to spend that money which brings it back into the economy where you have access to it. If you have any sense, you would want to have access to as much liquidity as possible. In any capitalist society, a government is not supposed to sit on money. YOU are supposed to sit on money. So why in the hell would any sane person want that a government bunkers BTC? Unless you are a communist or a fascist who thinks that the government should melt with the private sector in some way...

JcTrismegistus

Reddit isn’t a diary, it’s a feed. When the topic changes or escalates, a new post makes sense. If you don’t like seeing the posts, that’s what the scroll wheel is for. And yes money, inflation, and political lies are 100% Bitcoin content. That’s literally the whole point of BTC.

I wonder which out of BTC or the ECB, will attain irrelevance first?

turbo5vz

If you think about it, after years and countless dev commits, BTC effectively does the same thing and has the same user experience as it did a decade ago.

inkandpaperguy

M2, the end of QT (QE usually starts shortly afterwards), the extended ISM/ business cycle. Also. the 4 year cycle will likely be extended. Look at the massive level of regulation and institutional sentiment change in the USA. The SEC will be dropping rates as of Wednesday December 10th at the FOMC meeting. The Americans want to be the leader in the crypto markets and they intend to run their economy "hot". Countries are adopting BTC and crypto, banks are going to adapt or suffer. The world has changed.

But you seem to be implying that fiat/USD is a 'usable currency', because it's not subject to this problem of lost opportunity - but that doesn't seem to follow, in a world where it's relatively trivial at any given moment to turn X amount of fiat into the equivalent in BTC 🤔
