BTC

StraightPromise3596

I agree. It can affect the price in the short run, but in the long run, eveyrone know it doesn't matter and BTC doesn't care.

HelpRespawnedAsDee

It's a niche. If 2 out 1000 people know about it in the US (just making a number up), then 0.5 of Latam knows about it for example. SV is obviously an outlier, but even there most people outside the cryto, ai, and overall tech circles, which is small here anyway, don't know or care about BTC.

No_Community7021

How could it? Has BTC not being working before clarity act? Nothing changes.

verus_es_tu

Idek what the clarity act is. But based on its name it implies that Bitcoin would be subject to more scrutiny and it's transactions more heavily policed? BTC is how criminals move shit loads of money. If a law designed to make it more publicly observable failed then you have your reason why this value shot up. Not rocket science.

Because BTC is the monster pump and dump if your getting into it now

BlackhouseBlockparty

It’s not a 1-to-1 relationship, but is an important factor. As the dollar weakens, it takes more dollars to purchase that same 1 BTC.

NeverShallDoHarmToMe

BTC went up vs all currencies

av6344

The fed gonna keep printing $ and then they will buy BTC with it and accumulate most out of all other countries. This will consequently cause correction in the crypto market (shooting all crypto up through the roof). And a new universal currency will be created.

lynchrw

so last year I some BTC for five goats. for sure what back to the replenish my supply of goats but I can only buy three goats. I wonder how that can be?

lynchrw

iska is relative. For every USDC the is one US dollar behind it which is audited. After the last short squeeze when BTC had that big runup ithe leveled out . then there was the upcoming cloture vote and pending FOMC intewar rate action. so I played it safe for a few weeks convert a majority of my crypto holdings to usdc and then they the usdc and earned a family steady 6.9%, which ain't bad really, while BTC was meandering around. So right after the cloture vote and the FOMC meeting I convert from USDC back to Crypto in a certain plan Ed distribution(BTC , ETH and SOL). Plus I keep between 15 and 20% of My overall holdings in USDC and that USDC I still lend and and earn interest on. just a strategy that seems to work to help mitigate downside risk. the bottom line for me ustc is a great place to be somewhat safe probably safe as you can earn a steady good interest rate as opposed to a bank which is less than 2% or money market which is also terrible interest rates and not even insured in some cases. oh one more thing I do with USDC or my rationale behind it. as the portfolio grows I'm maintaining that 15 to 20% in there from gains or new money to help ensure I have money to pay any taxes later the year

JohnMunchDisciple

BTC will be the global currency of our AI slavemasters. I'd rather bribe my way into working at the soylent green factory than the bone meal plant.

RevCoat633

Macro? Forex is for macro. BTC is a game. A pattern works for a few cycles, and then everyone keeps banking on that same recurring pattern. If everyone knows when to buy and when to sell, where is the game? Where is the profit? Who is going to buy at the four-year peak if everyone bought at the bottom?

Dangerous_Flower_708

Clearly BTC never needed any government

crunchyeyeball

> ...with as little fees as possible? Depends on volume & jurisdiction. Nobody can give you a "one size fits all" answer without any details. The is no single "best" option. For very large volumes (multiple BTC), many large exchanges will offer zero fee trades, or an OTC option. For smaller amounts, setting a limit sell order through e.g. Kraken Pro or Coinbase Advanced will minimise fees at the cost of not being instantaneous.

KateR_H0l1day

Buying SOL for the first time after FTX, @ \~ average $28 for the months after, then staking, still have it. Like everyone else, wishing I’d of bought more of course. But my BTC at an average of \~$50K is very nice too 😌

colemusic1

I completely agree, as per my other comment before. It’s changed **literally everything.** And people need to seriously research this. It was a small time thing in 2024 - 2025, there wasn’t that much capital flowing into it. But it’s became absolutely enormous and has changed spot BTC entirely. Cycles matter, but it’s almost silly for anyone to say they’re the exact same when we don’t even have a full cycle since it’s been institutionalised. And if we want to compare previous cycles, we’re gonna need 2-3 full cycles to really compare it to prior ones

colemusic1

There has been a significant amount of things that have changed. IBIT is genuinely no speculative BTC ETF anymore. It’s got $100B+ in assets, and we have live data now that is showing us how much inflows/outflows is happening intraday. And that’s a huge deal. And that doesn’t mean cycles don’t matter, they still do. But what it does mean is we don’t have any data on how cycles can/will run when this has only been happening since 2024. ETHA (ETH ETF) is also attracting a significant amount more inflows lately, and they even have ZEC on there now too. This is a big deal for BTC specifically though because it exposes BTC to millions of more investors who otherwise don’t own a crypto exchange account and maybe don’t want to. They simply just login to their brokerage platform, buy some IBIT and call it a day. If you want to know how significant this genuinely is right now from live readings of the top 5 most actively traded stocks / ETF’s: • IBIT (spot BTC) • BITO (BTC futures) • NVDA • INTC • SPCX

AssmanMold

BTC never needed clarity for one, and the rate hike... idk, less faith in the dollar maybe.

hoopstar80

Because government reminded us why we like BTC.

Bec BTC doesn’t give a F

GigglesFor1000Alex

Here is the answer(not courtesy of me) **Bitcoin is surging back past $80,000 because the market had already priced in the CLARITY Act’s failure, and investors quickly shifted their focus to major, highly bullish structural news.** While the 49-50 Senate vote on September 15 was initially a setback, crypto markets quickly entered a "risk-on" mode driven by immediate alternative regulatory progress and massive institutional buying. Here is the breakdown of why the market shrugged off the negative news: **💡 The SEC's Massive "Tokenization" Pivot** Just days after Congress failed to pass the bill, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) introduced a major five-year exemption allowing companies to offer blockchain-based, tokenized stocks. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins signaled that the agency would move forward with its own regulatory approvals regardless of the gridlock in Congress. This convinced investors that the industry can achieve institutional integration through agency rulemaking rather than waiting on a broken legislative process. **🇺🇸 Advance of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bil**l On September 16, a U.S. House of Representatives committee advanced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill (ARMA) in a 28-21 vote. This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to purchase up to 1 million BTC over five years and mandates a strict 20-year federal lockup period. The prospect of the U.S. government permanently removing a massive chunk of supply from the open market has acted as an immense psychological catalyst for long-term allocators. **📊 Short Squeezes & Derivatives Liquidations** Positioning heading into the CLARITY Act vote was incredibly one-sided, resulting in nearly $480 million in long liquidations when the bill initially failed. However, once Bitcoin bottomed out near $75,000 and absorbed the shock, it broke back past the heavy resistance level at $78,000. This instantly triggered a massive short squeeze—forcing bearish traders to buy back their positions—which rapidly propelled the price above $80,000. **📈 Corporate "Whales" Are Not Stopping** Major corporate entities are treating the dip as a massive buying opportunity. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to aggressive accumulation. The company holds over 845,000 BTC (roughly 4% of the total 21 million capped supply) and announced plans to raise up to $80 billion through debt and equity to buy even more Bitcoin. **💎 Shrugging Off the Fed's Rate Hike** The market also brushed off the Federal Reserve raising its benchmark interest rate to 3.75% for the first time in three years. Because the hike was accompanied by easing oil supply inflation concerns, macro investors treated the decision as a stabilizing force for the broader financial system rather than a headwind for digital assets.

Holy shit padner...why are you hodling that much BTC online? If you ever get it back...make sure to buy a Trezor or something and get it off the net.

Well the thing about BTC because it doesn’t matter what passes and what doesn’t nothing will change how it fundamentally works.

xaviemb

A smart dude (Physicist) in the BTC Youtube space that has a very rational TA approach, but he's fixated on putting previous cycles onto this one as if the peak was anything like the previous... Lots of people quote him and point to his 'research' as reason to have avoided DCAing into Bitcoin in the low $60k's all summer. Markets don't let you "time" them based on previous models the masses follow. If they did, everyone would be a billionaire.

McDrunkin521

The true BTC holders don't care about the clarity act and know BTC is the future regardless of the clarity act passing. It would have been great but it's not a deal breaker IMO. We gonna moon!!!! 🚀 🚀

This is exactly why this country is fucked. How many ways do they need to show you that this is rigged? Go look at the post last year around this time when people were claiming BTC was going to $200k and beyond. Wake TF up!

El_Daywalkerino

The quickest way to expose yourself as a crypto pleb is to ask "why the BTC pump today". the BTC pump was pre-ordained and needs no reason on any given day

KFC_Tuesdays

I can literally bet without fail there’s a post every time BTC moves upwards, zoom out a bit and you’ll see we’ve been consolidating in a range for month’s. This and the other 5 “pump” aren’t pumps in the slightest.

PM_ME_UR_0_DAY

No handy resources to share, but I could probably answer your question. Were you wondering on the quantum risk in general, or this "would a bank or BTC be more fucked by a quantum computer?"

I called the CEO of BTC and asked for them to raise the price, thats why.

Clarity needs BTC. BTC doesn‘t need Clarity.

No_Community7021

I'm from the Canary Islands, Spain and I've been interested in BTC and other cryptos for a couple years. I've had cold storage, I've had different wallets and right now I'm just holding them in Kraken. None of my social circle is interested and I'd basically tell them to go have a conversation with the AI if they want to learn.

quintavious_danilo

Am I the only one angry at BTC for going up like that? Stay down, I was not finished buying.

Leviathan_Dev

No. Bitcoin has a smallest unit: a Satoshi being 0.00000001 BTC. You can’t go smaller than that.

MittenSplits

As an avid bitcoiner, I'm actually anti- clarity act. BTC doesn't need it. All of the shitcoiners looking for loopholes to the Howey rule need it.

EchoChamberReddit13

I’m wondering when BTC will be truly seen as a hedge against central banks. I view it as that currently, but the rest of the world isn’t there yet.

Brawmethius

For a bitcoin sub I am amazed no one follows the explosion of perpetual futures and derivatives in BTC now. CME and Binance regularly the leading moves now and ETFs forced to follow. Derivative to spot volume is regularly 10-20x; currently at about 13x. Almost all the big random moves are now kicked off from binance in the perp markets. Dealer gamma just flipped massively.

Tomaxisthatdude

Because BTC is going to do what BTC wants to do.

mountain_drifter

Welcome to Bitcoin, and just hear me out on this one. Could it be that the answer is in the assumption that clarity act passing is necessary for BTC, and automatically bullish? Just because social influencers and politicians say one thing is true, doesnt mean the market will give the expected price action. You are being manipulated on all fronts (we all are), and once you believe the future price of BTC must react to the sentiment of talking heads, you become a participant in the game.

ilovesaintpaul

It seems the 10 year yield and BTC are connected somehow. It takes a little time but it seems a loss of confidence in the USD is maybe connected to BTC price. However, it's still mostly conjecture. DOW consistently falling too. Sorta.

Jorsa9_2026

No se shortea Bitcoin, es un suicidio. Entiendo que si sos trader, no te gusta solo comprar y esperar. Y que seguramente usas stop si sabes shortear, pero en caso que no lo hagas, la perdida no tiene limite a diferencia de comprar y que caiga a cero perdiendo solo lo invertido. Pero si shorteas, podes perder muchisimo mas al comprar cada vez mas caro... Ojo con shortear a BTC...

StretchOk7441

I’m not sure I agree, and I could be completely wrong, of course, but in my view everything changed with the arrival of ETFs and institutional capital. When you compare the limited amount of new BTC entering circulation with the purchasing power of BlackRock, Fidelity and the other major institutions, it becomes clear how significant their influence is. For a while now, much of the market’s buying and selling pressure has been driven by institutional flows not so much by issuance vs long term holders

Live_Jazz

$100M BTC is not on the table lol

totallynotexciting

Well. Idk how much truth there is to it or when but multiple foreign governments have commented on how the United States is trying to shed its national debt via stable coins via the Clarity act. I could totally see that happen and if it doesn’t BTC going to a million.

xaviemb

>The problem with BTC vs. USD comparison is that you have to have some way to value your BTC. Meta Question: How do you value your USD?

Awkward_Potential_

Honestly, even something ridiculous like $100 million BTC isn't off the table. Because at some point a bull run could turn into a bank run if the dollar inflates faster and harder than ever. 

Fickle_Principle_225

80k waking everyone up after weeks of chop is pretty funny. Feels like the worst time to get impatient though, especially after the move already happened. Keeping the actual BTC stack untouched and treating short term calls makes way more sense. Moon can work for that kind of up/down view without turning every little move into a reason to mess with the coins you are holding long term. Now the real question is whether 80k actually holds or this becomes another fakeout.

colemusic1

Even better when they short at like $76k, the low end of the range 😂 If I was gonna short BTC, I’d be doing it now at like $82.5k if I didn’t think it could surpass $83k, and I reckon there’s gonna be ALOT of shorts at that price point, let alone a wall of sellers

BILLYBUTCHER_2

50,000 BTC sitting in a popcorn tin for 9 years is already insane, but getting caught because of an $800 transaction is the real plot twist 😂. Billion-dollar mistake over a KYC exchange.

colemusic1

Anything can happen to be honest. But frankly, with warsh coming out and the world getting the news that fed rate hikes are hawkish, and macro (DXY, US10Y) started soaring is what I’d expect to smash the shit out of crypto / tech stocks. But BTC has genuinely been super resilient. The fact it was able to sit there and hold at $77k for however long it was recently is actually unreal considering US10Y is now above 5%

rockhoundlounge

The problem with BTC vs. USD comparison is that you have to have some way to value your BTC. How much for that candy bar? 0.000031 BTC? Is it possible to get there someday, yes, possibly. But for the past 234 years we've had USD, and it's what everyone knows as the unit of measurement in value. Since most places still do not except BTC as payment, even BTC maxi's want to know how the value of their BTC stands against fiat. If you are fortunate enough to have the disposable income to convert your money into BTC and let it sit, that's awesome and possibly a great strategy. However, unexpected emergencies can happen where you may have to convert BTC to something that can pay for it. My point in all this is that everyone (well most everyone) that is putting their money into BTC wants to get more USD out of it. Whether it be just value wise or actual USD. This idea is inherent and not necessarily a bad thing. And until we have completely moved to a BTC society where we measure value in units of Satoshi's or other increments of BTC we will always compare its value to something else. And right now it's in terms of USD.

CyanDew

for all of those individuals who are still trying to bridge the mental gap between USD and BTC: 100K sats just got $5 more expensive. and 1M sats just got $50 more expensive. buying at 80K BTC vs 75K BTC won’t matter in the long term if your goal is to HODL for the next 10+ years. stop wasting time, keep stacking sats, and don’t pay too much attention to the price in dollars. what really matters is how you’re expending your time and energy, and how much of it you’re putting it into satoshis.

StretchOk7441

Sure, there’s always room for more doomsday scenarios, but my view is fairly simple. The past few years have been so saturated with wars, geopolitical shocks and the mismanagement of major world powers that I’m starting to think investors have become more risk tolerant or perhaps simply desensitised after such a concentrated series of events. Just a feeling, to be honest. I’m more concerned about the liquidity drain that major AI companies could create across the market. That said, perhaps SpaceX is a reasonable comparison: it absorbed significant capital but didn’t have an especially dramatic impact on BTC beyond contributing to lower overall trading volumes.

Androoboodro

BTC will continue to cycle the way it always has, regardless of geopolitical narratives. Or at least that’s what it seems. DCA every day and enjoy a totally different experience than reacting to highs and lows.

Omniwatch

I suspect you may not have been entitled to those BTC initially, and you are seeking a workaround. If you possess proper documentation that verifies the funds’ origin and legality, I see no reason you could not pursue legal escalation. No one would simply wait passively with 1.5 BTC and say they locked my BTC and no one will help me.

CyanDew

it takes time. some people get it sooner than others. either way, Bitcoin frees you. the reason why so many people aren’t jumping for joy when they buy BTC is because they’re still looking at the money in terms of dollars rather than in terms of Bitcoin (sats or bits). sure, its a nice addition to see your Bitcoin’s worth in dollars go up because it validates the thesis right then and there… but what happens when Bitcoin’s value in USD drops 40%? has *your* thesis changed? because Bitcoin’s thesis hasn’t. are you with Bitcoin? or are you not. plain and simple.

MarsupialNo7114

StretchOk7441

Look how many times BTC has tested $80K. The longer an asset consolidates beneath major resistance, the more explosive the eventual breakout can be. We saw something similar after the ETF approvals: BTC traded sideways for months while Germany sold its stack, then nearly doubled within weeks once the range finally broke. Patience is key. Timing the breakout is impossible, but the market increasingly looks positioned for a move higher sooner rather than later.

UrbanGrower187

You’re arguing semantics because you don’t have an answer to the actual point. 😂 Yes, “will be” is stronger wording than “I believe.” Fair enough I clarified exactly what I meant. That still doesn’t magically turn “I think BTC will eventually trade sustainably above $100k” into “therefore I should liquidate everything, max out my credit and leverage myself for a guaranteed 25% return.” Those are completely different claims. And mentioning that I already have substantial BTC exposure wasn’t a “flex”; it was directly relevant to someone asking why I’m not buying as much as humanly possible. **Because I already have significant exposure and I manage risk.** As for the alt-account detective work, you’re welcome to believe whatever makes this Reddit exchange more exciting for you. 😂 If your entire rebuttal has moved from the investment argument to my wording, how much BTC I mentioned owning, and Reddit accounts, I think the original point has been made.

kelvintiger

Get USD to BTC ASAP. Wait and USD = less BTC

colemusic1

😂😂 the amount of X posts from bots I see about this shit is so funny. When I see a surge like I did this morning, they change their posts from: “BTC is doing exactly as expected, lower lows” To “ITS A BULL TRAP 🚨”

StretchOk7441

Of course, but $80K is the last major level before relatively open air toward the previous ATH, so it makes sense for the market to keep testing it. We might see one more move lower, but given how aggressively every small dip has been bought, it feels pretty clear that BTC wants to move higher in my humble opinion

KateR_H0l1day

Exactly, do they think that Blackrock Grayscale Fidelity, etc are buy BTC hoping someone comes along that wants it 🤣. Of course the BTC-TC’s are buying a bunch hoping that someone buys their stock; MSTR/ASST, etc.

colemusic1

I hate to be that guy but sorry dude you can’t compare what BTC did in 2017. Completely different era it’s in now when it’s massively institutionalised as well as significantly larger in MC. That’s not to say BTC can’t or won’t explode when macro is hostile, this morning is definitely proof of that (although oil futures dropped significantly so that’s a massive help for risk assets), but macro is becoming increasingly more important than what it was pre 2021

jashanjeet

BTC is only up cus everything else is either down or flat. It means nothing unless we close above 82 and make a new lower high and dont brakedown belowe 76

Accomplished-Pop-720

I knew it, BTC never disappoints position traders and HODLers 😊

likwid07

All these predictions are garbage. BTC was at $60k and every analyst said there's a lot more pain to come. Now at $80k and everyone's bullish.

Efficient_Range1156

it’s gonna rip out of the stratosphere, the entire world is sobering up out of the USD hegemony fugue-state wouldn’t be surprised if BTC hits 500k this run

colemusic1

Oil futures just plummeted enormously. I think this could be one of the best things that could’ve happened. it’s dropped -8.2% in 3 days which is huge. That immediately takes pressure off inflation fears and can definitely be a massive tailwind to BTC’s surge this morning (along with shorts being liquidated)

NegativeSky603

I keep a password-protected file on my computer containing all the instructions they would need in case I die, including how to access my BTC, where the seed is hidden, which hardware wallet I use, etc. It also includes very emphatic warnings about what not to do, such as trusting anyone or entering the seed anywhere other than a hardware wallet if restoration is ever necessary. I also include links to good videos explaining how to use the specific models of my hardware wallet, exchange, etc. In other words, the information is there; it’s up to them to figure out the rest. I keep the file as up to date as possible, and every year I send an email to my wife and parents reminding them where the file is and which password to use.
