If I die my BTC would be dig 🪏 by quantum future hackers marauders

Cannister7

If it dumps 12% then anyone buying will have 12% more BTC than today, so, yes, it will matter.

Grand-Drift-956

the BTC journey have really been interest

_Stylite

This is absolutely not true. BTC downtrends and market downtrends are very strongly correlated. Where there’s fear in the markets BTC dumps first

memorandapi

That's all well and good. Thank you. Each to their own. The btc price graph is just a collection of the overall psychological feeling of humans toward the price of BTC. You represent one human. There's others that also contribute to what the price is/ will be. Plenty, actually

Njhuang86

I'm going to be rational here. You might be right, but in the long run, there is a greater change that you are wrong because BTC trends up and to the right. Yes, I can sell now and lock in some profits. However, I would have to pay short term taxes on top of those profits. So why do that if I know that BTC will certainly hit much higher numbers down the road? Furthermore, there is a pretty good chance that 84K is the floor and we are just another gap up before 90K becomes the new floor. Hence it doesn't make sense to sell now unless you have 100% conviction that the prices are going to drop. And nobody has that crystal ball.

Do people in other countries consider US macro data when buying BTC? Hell, do most American buyers even know what macro data means?

We worked hard to solve this and make it easy for people's family to recover their BTC using Casa. Basically all they need to know how to do is keep the Casa app on their phone, tap to get access to the vault if you pass away, and wait 6 months. It uses a 2-of-3 multisig. One key is on your phone, one key on a hardware wallet, and one key held by Casa. So you can keep the hardware wallet as a key while you're alive (improving security with the cold key), but share the phone key with your wife that she can use if you pass away. She'll need the phone key plus the Casa key to access the BTC, and we enforce checks that it's actually her account using the Casa key before we'll approve the transaction with it. Takes about 5 min to set up and is much easier to recover from than trying to have her use a hardware wallet. Here's a tutorial someone made recently: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdtsMWP-Rvw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdtsMWP-Rvw)

lilvixen

No. I got some discount Bitcoin that I can sell you 1sat for 5sat in return. It's good anywhere BTC is taken

throwaway12three4

I did the same. I first had it in a regular crypto account but moved it to a joint account with my wife. That way if something happens the BTC can go to her directly and not probate court.

tenor_tymir

BTC flagged as problematic are usually sold on the black market at a premium or "mixed" so thoroughly that they are no longer recognizable as such, thereby acquiring the same value as untainted BTC.

taquitaqui

Try the Shamir Secret or whatever it’s called. Seed gets split into 3 parts. You give 2 away to people you trust. When you die, they need 2 of the 3 split parts to have the whole seed. That solves the seed part, the other, she has to understand that BTC is money and she needs to do research or you give her a document of what exactly to do in case if your passing.

New_Watercress_4587

I don’t think that’s the main problem. With traditional financial systems there’s KYC and other ways to revert or prevent scams. BTC transactions are irreversible. I’m sure stablecoins like USDC could be better because they control the smart contracts. Obviously some people prefer defi while others like cefi.

quintavious_danilo

I’m pretty sure you do not fully understand what DCA means. It has got nothing to do with lowering your average. It can help, but that’s not the idea. DCA simply means to buy a fixed amount of BTC at a regular schedule, like weekly, monthly, even daily. Let’s say you get paid once a month and then you take $100 out of that paycheck and buy BTC every Monday, for years. That’s a weekly DCA, and that’s how even you can do it without running out of funds.

AncientWanderer00999

BTC did you can't see me

Express-Economist-86

I bought SATA and STRC in a reputable broker. I use Fidelity, and I love the platform, although there’s other decent ones. SATA pays a daily dividend, STRC is twice a month. Over time, I’ve basically added a month of income to my year. I use the dividend from my bitcoin-backed stocks to buy Bitcoin pretty much whenever I feel like it in fidelity. Takes a day to settle the payment and then I can transfer from my stock account to my crypto account. Significant up days I’ll take a little profit, set another sell order for even higher and a bigger buy order a bit below. If I miss, I’ll just wait a bit or maybe buy some more STRC and SATA to get that income higher. If I get a big enough payout, I’ll begrudgingly buy a more aged dividend payer. They pay less, but they’re more stable by virtue of long existence. It’s a long and slow climb. I’m basically counting on 5-10 years of struggle. I may eventually back this whole operation up as an LLC with abundant mines (hosted miners) or the GoMining app (digital NFT miners) for tax breaks. Any of these carry significant risks and are worth learning and plotting the math and taxes BEFORE you enter - this is just how I roll. However, after getting settled into a rhythm with my dividends, it at least feels like free money, and I like that my inflatable bucks are working for me faster than any other rate of return I’ve seen. It would absolutely be faster to just buy bitcoin, but my $100 stock that pays me all the time is psychologically easier to cope with than putting in a hundred bucks to BTC, watching the chart, and getting heated.

quintavious_danilo

In what delusional world is BTC a risk-off asset? 🤡🙈

iciDA

If you die it is lost and everyone's BTC wins in value. You should explain all of it (seed etc) to people you love and trust before... (wife, brother, whoever)

Kryy213

That was what I was trying to understand. Let's say that I have some transaction (for example a simple car washing service) happening with someone, which will settle in BTC on the network. Technically, I'd be willing to accept to do the transaction for a certain amount of "non flagged" BTC which is lower than "flagged" BTC, as a premia needs to be added to compensate for the difficulty of cashing out. Hence my reasoning of why not all bitcoins are worth the same?

biggiemokeyX

1 BTC = 1 BTC There is definitely added nuance with "flagged" coins that might be connected to illegal activity, mixers, etc. You very well could have issues cashing out a "flagged" coin. The issue arises with regulated onramps and offramps, not necessarily the Bitcoin network itself.

Get_the_nak

USD = risk on BTC= risk off Bad news -> risk off Tell me what you don’t understand 

UrbanGrower187

Maybe you still can! Don’t loose faith in what you believe in. no one knows anything but the idea of BTC and how it’s made makes sense to some and for some it is a scam either way best of luck and hope things get better whatever way it goes.

AD1AD

Entrenched? Sure. Unstoppable? Not even close. Brand recognition only goes so far. (It goes a long way, like you said, but it's not infinitely valuable.) If BTC refuses to innovate and fails to be actually useful as digital money (not just "digital gold" that's held 95% custodially), it *will* lose to competitors that are equally scarce but more useful. It maybe take years or decades, but it will happen. No first mover advantage is un-fumble-able.

Grunblau

When ETFs are “in-kind” for retail, it will become a form of custody that might have much of the utility intact. If you wanted to borrow against it for example. You wouldn’t have to sell BTC, it just morphs to be a different wrapper depending on use.

yioshie

It depends what your goal is, if your goal is to get more fiat then yeah, selling some to buy once it drops its usually a good strat. My goal is to get as much BTC as possible, so I don't sell, I just buy when it's low and keep stacking. FIAT just keeps losing value so I don't see the point of selling BTC for it. If I'll need it in the future sure, I'll be willing to sell some to buy/pay what I need, but until then BTC > FIAT.

Backrus

BTC has finite supply but stocks have buybacks which reduce supply. As long as GDP and earnings grow, you can't realistically put cap on stocks prices.

No-Masterpiece2246

Stablecoins are irrelevant to cryptocurrency markets. They're controlled by the same old regulated intermediaries as banking. They can be tracked, taxd, stolen, and frozen by governments. Stick with real cryptocurrencies that are mined using proof of work like BTC, BCH, SOL, etc. Or use privacy coins that are mined like XMR.

CashPhysical1084

Why’s BTC going down 🫠

magma_lakes

What!? Why is selling even an option, if you are trying to acquire more BTC? If you need the money... I get it. But if you're trying to increase your BTC holdings, just buy and forget about it. At the very least, store all your BTC in a hardware wallet, not just for the security, but also to prevent yourself from selling.

Useful-Window-208

Why not do this with MSTR stock instead of BTC as it is essentially a leverged BTC play

cjdangles

EASY. You dump everything but BTC and ETH.

btccyclecockpit

M2 is rising, pumping more liquidity into the market. BTC crossed an important line: the SMA 50 crossed above the SMA 200 (Golden Cross) – historically the point where we say goodbye to the bear.

jgarcya

See you when I start buying again at December's low... Enjoy your over priced 86k BTC.

pl201

Don’t buy it again l! It’s very simple, if you can’t take a 50% loss of your investment, BTC is not for you.

Swaps usually use an API, so the coin you’re swapping into comes back into the wallet you started from. So, you send bitcoin to MoonPay and receive USDT. However, you can send the BTC directly to Coinbase from Arculus and sell it there. You will most likely have lower fees selling on Coinbase than you will on MoonPay. If you use Coinbase Advanced with a limit order, you can keep the fees even lower.

colemusic1

DXY fluctuates all the time in multi year cycles. BTC is a volatile asset, yes, but it’s still sensitive to macroeconomics. BTC doesn’t simply ignore inflation fears, it in fact has benefited quite a lot recently from oil futures going -14% in just 5 days. So BTC can, at times, ignore macro completely if we’re in a full on euphoric bull run and a FOMO frenzy, but it’s becoming increasingly more sensitive to macro factors, especially inflation fears that we now have happening in October

T1gerAc3

For about the past year now, BTC and the USD have both been eating shit. I would think that as the US dollar devalues, every currency, including BTC would increase, relative to the USD, regardless of liquidity or interest rates

colemusic1

What are you referring to, for BTC or for macro? Because the world reacts to macro intraday, not based on 2 years

colemusic1

No, that’s not how it works anymore. That was how it worked when BTC was more speculative and hype driven, but it’s now backed with $100B+ in assets via IBIT. Macro plays a huge role in BTC now since it’s not just some speculative asset, it’s a globally backed asset that now reacts to macro as does any volatile growth asset

VettaQ

The indicators with the most consistent tracking record are the boring ones: DXY, US 10y real yields, and a global liquidity aggregate (M2 or central bank balance sheets). Stablecoin supply is the endogenous one worth adding - it measures dry powder actually inside the crypto system rather than conditions outside it. The trap is treating any single correlation as structural. BTC's correlation to Nasdaq has swung between roughly 0 and 0.6 depending on the window and the regime - risk-on/risk-off phases tighten it, crypto-native cycles (halvings, ETF flows, exchange events) loosen it. A fixed "BTC follows X" rule breaks exactly when you size up on it. What worked for me: pick 2-3 indicators, fit the relationship on a rolling window, and treat the current beta as a regime reading rather than a law. When the rolling correlation snaps back toward zero, macro stops being the driver and positioning or on-chain flows take over - that regime switch is usually the more useful information.

anotherbrckinTH3Wall

Oh dear. A tale as old as time. Well, you can either learn your lesson and change your mindset or continue to be trapped in it. There’s a reason we regularly say “time in the market is better than timing the market” Step 1: decide on your time horizon, and stick with it. For me when I started my time horizon was 10 years. Step 2: decide if you are prepared to lump sum or DCA or both, and stick with it. Step 3: live your life. No need to check BTC price all the time.

VettaQ

Funding works better as a crowding gauge than as a direction signal. Strongly positive funding means longs are already packed in - by the time it reads like a signal, the move that caused it has usually happened. And it cuts both ways: extreme positive funding marks local tops about as often as continuations, because those same crowded longs become the forced sellers in a flush. On the carry math, your numbers are worth framing as a rate: $1.5/hr on 0.2 BTC is roughly 0.1% per 8 hours, which annualizes to triple digits on notional. That percentage, not the dollar figure, is the thing to track - it is the price the market charges you to hold the consensus side. The perp-spot basis moves with funding, so the two together give a cleaner positioning read than funding alone. If you keep the trade on, treat funding as a cost line with a hard annualized cap in the plan, not as a spidey sense.

UrbanGrower187

lol can’t wait for everyone to create new accounts and start pumping BTC to 40k again. My family and I just keep buying daily pretty wild I know. Best of luck to everyone

colemusic1

The dollar is increasing in value, not losing it. When DXY rises, it makes it more expensive for foreign currencies to buy USD denominated assets like BTC, and when US10Y also rises in tandem with that, it makes it more attractive to funnel liquidity into bonds / less volatile assets. [This is the current reading of how much the USD is strengthening against major foreign currencies](https://imgur.com/a/lCgJCSU)

Shady8tkers

You sold at essentially the end of the bear cycle. BTC will now start its climb to a new ATH sometime around Oct 2029.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Don’t worry, BTC will go down in Oct just for you and your friends.

BTC requires a minimum 5 years horizon

1mma_Pr0bl3m

This is when having a clear strategy helps. Doesn't seem like you're wanting long term. Seems like you just want a quick pump and to make some money and dip...or hope it pumps more then ride it back down. I started in crypto in 2017 and was only able to invest about 1500. BTC price when I bought was around 1k but I bought, sold, bought sold, and hopped around a bunch. If I knew then what I know now. Just buy solid assets and hold. BTC is at the top for a reason. Don't look at the price now, just know that it will be a lot higher in the future and you won't regret it. Also seems like you're investing money that you aren't willing to lose. May want to only put some into BTC and spread the rest into other investments or leave in your bank account.

colemusic1

Definitely a tiny healthy pullback, although I gotta say if the October fed rate hike does happen with a 25bps increase, we may get smashed along with all of nasdaq. Check up on the news this morning about it, it’s pretty nasty. But who knows, BTC has held through really shit macro the last couple months and could very well hold through it again

JarlBallnuts

I guess I can say that I at least didn't lose any money, but it sucks that all I have to show for 2+ years of BTC investing is a measly $2.5k. If I had just held onto it all, I would be in such a great spot right now. Could have sold that top batch at least to get rid of the weight. I could have also just sold the top batch at a loss, but I wasn't willing to throw away that much money on a gamble. Made more sense to me to break even.

colemusic1

For those wondering why today’s had a sudden smack down: [check up on DXY, US10Y and oil futures.](https://imgur.com/a/RmYMaCF) All three have soared, but **particularly DXY and US10Y.** US10Y just hit a 19 year high and we just got further reports that October may have a 25bps fed rate hike. So put simply; this isn’t just BTC related. This is global financially related. Any growth stocks / high beta assets, including BTC, are getting smacked by this and we may genuinely see a hit in October if we see macro get even more fucked up. But please don’t be that person that thinks “October dump is because of a cycle.” If it does happen, it’s because US10Y is the highest it’s been since 2007, and trust me that’s no joke.

A simple conversation with an LLM can tell you exactly what command to run in your terminal to find the information you’re looking for. One important rule: **never put your actual private keys (or even your own public address) into an LLM**. Instead, ask it to use a placeholder like \[generic address\], then substitute your own address locally when you run the command. On that note, you should NEVER type your private key or key words ever on a keyboard (unless you're spending BTC). Even if you think you're local and protected. You can pull your transactions, or all of your UTXOs (your individual BTC amounts), directly from your node. Your node maintains a highly efficient UTXO set in memory, so these lookups can be almost instantaneous. I can’t stress this enough: keep your keys and personal addresses out of the LLM. Let the LLM teach you the command, then run it yourself against your own node. Treat it as a learning experience. Once you realize how much you can inspect and verify for yourself, it’s incredibly liberating.

Jan_Bula

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. A little context on why I built this. I started this app for myself. I’m also involved in Bitcoin mining, so my interests go beyond the price. None of the free or paid apps I tried offered the combination I wanted. I found the Apple Watch options particularly limited, so I decided to build my own. I learned a lot along the way, and building something I actually use has made the time worthwhile for me. As it developed, I thought some other bitcoiners might find it useful too. So I paid for a CoinGecko data plan and backend hosting, and made the app available for a small subscription fee to help cover those costs. I understand subscription fatigue. If you just want the BTC price, Stocks or a free exchange widget may already cover everything you need, and this app may be more than you need. It might be useful for people who also care about mining and network data, and who appreciate seeing those metrics at a glance, with a consistent design across their devices. It won’t be for everyone, and that’s fine. It’s something I wanted to use myself and decided to share.

labvinylsound

The broader market has been doing this all morning. It's pattern trading not indicative of the price direction of BTC itself.

AdrianRamirez0

Tech stocks print more shares through stock-based compensation and dilution. Bitcoin prints blocks, not coins. That's why 1 BTC will always remain 1/21M, while 1 share of tech stock becomes 1/infinity over time.

I doubled my BTC position at $62k! I saw the signs and wasn’t going to wait for a lower bottom.

AP_lookingahead

In theory, wouldn’t every short term trader that believes BTC would go lower than $59k take a gamble and sell hoping they can buy in lower in the near future?

Beautiful_Level_3259

We’ll see. BTC has never existed through a SPY crash which is definitely possible this year/early next year. Funny how BTC can deviate above and cause everyone to believe the low is in but can’t also eventually deviate below and cause a lower low… The people that were claiming cycles don’t exist now are all talking about how we’ve broken the cycle because it now fits their narrative. MMs best option from here is a complete wipeout sometime in the next 6 months to flush out the extreme greed I’m seeing everywhere. 99.9999% of people now say up only. That’s a perfect recipe for lower.

If you’re new to crypto, I wouldn’t put the entire $1k into one altcoin. I’d start with BTC/ETH and take some time to understand how you actually want to manage the risk. One thing I’ve found useful is using data instead of relying purely on Reddit sentiment or a coin’s recent price movement. I’ve been looking at Opulence Alpha for this kind of research — it lets you compare assets/strategies using historical data, forecasts and risk analysis rather than just following a single signal. For $1k, I’d probably enter gradually rather than trying to perfectly time the market. And I’d stay away from leverage and “guaranteed 10x” type plays, especially as a beginner.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

For the same reason BTC didn't launch with VCs. The passionate founding devs had a goal that its community understood.  The only difference is that BTC stopped innovating after Satoshi left, but Kaspa keeps the heading towards a p2p currency that doesn't need institutions or third parties to scale.  Today Kaspa is factually more cypherpunk than Bitcoin.

So many people hoping BTC to have that one final dip. Well, that dip was bought up by the frontrunning crowd, a.k.a the market. I'm not saying that there's no possible way for a dip or crash, just that the odds are stacked against it.

Ha55aN1337

The rules to this sub are: 1. You don’t buy low, because BTC is dead 2. When it starts to pump, you begin thinking about buying 3. When it’s ATH you buy 4. When it drops you post WTF is happening and panic 5. You hold for 4 years and post Copium memes about why it will definitely pump next week 6. You panic sell a bit 7. When it reaches bottom you repeat step 1 8. When it starts to pump again you tell everyone “ I 1. told you so!” a 1. s you wait for the new ATH to break even from 4 years ago. 9. ? 10. 1. Never profit.

Businesses are increasingly adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Fidelity Digital Assets reported 49 public companies holding at least 1,000 BTC at the end of 2025, up from 22 in 2024. It identified 19 as traditional companies using corporate treasury funds to buy Bitcoin. Institutional adoption is also expanding. A 2026 Coinbase/EY-Parthenon survey found 73% of 351 institutional investors planned to increase digital-asset allocations in 2026. The shift is from Bitcoin being viewed solely as a speculative trade toward being treated as a treasury and reserve asset. For regular holders, that could mean Bitcoin increasingly becomes part of ordinary portfolio and corporate treasury infrastructure, although volatility remains.

>I predict it will go down strongly toda when the us market openings Give it up. You've been predicting it would crash now for the last two weeks. In that time BTC has surged more than 20%.

GreatBreadfruit8139

I’d separate “do I want BTC exposure?” from “can I time this exact move?” They’re different decisions. A fixed recurring amount removes a lot of the pressure to guess today’s entry. Are you thinking long-term accumulation, or are you mainly reacting to the recent move?

klitchell

Yeah but BTC experienced a stochastic vol-spike triggering a liquidity-cascade rug-flop, decoupling the moving-average convergence from its own fibonacci retracement while the order-book gamma-squeezed itself into a recursive candle-wick paradox.

TheVeloRebel

I would defo start with the gateway drug of BTC LOL BUT Having said that, if you're new, you haven't made your choices yet, old projects are evolving, new projects are evolving. I'd suggest looking into other narratives like Institutional connections, RWA (Real World Assets), Quantum Resistant projects and the other narratives like "Crypto Agility" that align with blockchains that are able to adapt over time to new protocols. Most Blockchains arent very flexible and need generations to change to the new threats, this will be a future issue IMO. Be careful with most crypto and spread risk. Perhaps try LLM's to search for these narratives to get a rather simplistic and sterile answer that's not too emotional? Look for common knowledge bytes/answers of information. Ask them to list top 5 etc and do the research. Be carfeful out there. It's very easy to be swayed by slick talkers who own projects and influencers looking for liquidity lol I own a few from the narrative of Crypto Agility, some from RWA and a few of the main staples like BTC and Eth. Learn about the tech and their history. Visit their socials and Reddits.

DanielTheTechie

>There’s no way it doesn’t retrace these levels Rookie mistake. Many people before you has gone bankrupcy after spelling out "there's no way that X doesn't do Y". Market does the unexpected more often than what people thing. And if a coin is up 3800%, there is nothing stopping it going to 5200% (even if it's in a deaccelerated way) before the retracement truly starts. In a previous message you said: >I’m revenge trading because I sold ZEC at $350 At the moment of selling, did you also think "there's no way it pumps to 10x in three months"? And yet, the market did it. Here is my unsolicited advice: find an actual trading strategy and a time horizon in which you are most comfortable working, stick to it, follow its signals religiously and stick to set some risk management rules for yourself (e.g. how much % of your account can you risk per trade and how much % of your account can you lose before completely stopping to trade for that month). Revenge trading makes you feel relieved while it goes well, but when it doesn't (and it's a matter of time that it doesn't), expect to lose a lot more than what you earned previously, that without mentioning the persistent psychological pressure and the ego drop when you feel forced to sell low because you can't afford anymore the pain of seeing your account bleeding day after day. >I also don’t believe this bull rally Do you even have some definition or what conditions must satisfy a "bull rally" so that you consider it's a true bull rally? If not, you are gambling. Again, stick to a backtested strategy for at least 30 trades (you can use smaller amounts of money while you are not confident about it yet), journal them (you can something as simple as Excel), and later compute your ROI average. If it's positive, you will have already found an edge that is more reliable than your beliefs and impulses, and given your messages here, it shouldn't be hard to find it. Personally I have two accounts: one for investing and another one for trading. For multi-month/year investing, the safest time for buying crypto was when BTC's price contacted the weekly EMA200. The second best time is... nobody knows, but now it's probably safer than next month. Personally I would just wait for a daily red candle in BTC to be closed, and then, buy your favourite altcoins, set a realistic take profit price beforehand (don't do the silly thing of "I will just sell when I believe it's already on the top or when my favourite cryptobro asks me to do so"), and don't login again until BTC reaches its previous ATH, so you avoid the "revenge investing", the "I will sell this because it's down 10% and I'm scared" and those shits. And with your mind in peace knowing that you are already invested in crypto, you can do your trading in parallel or (even better) in a separated account.

I think the Mt Gox payout is through, not? We had an option to get a lump sum payment or two payments because some company claimed to have huge reserves on Mt. Gox that would've changed the payout for everyone. In the end 3.4 BTC turned to 0.5 BTC but by the time it was payed out the 0.5 was worth a lot more than the 3.4 BTC originally on the exchange.

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things because quibbling over when to get in is futile. People just need to get in. In a few years $86k will be the $30k of 2021. If BTC dips to $50 or 60k next month, what does it really matter?

Funding fee is simply a basis compensation between a coin and its perpetual futures, meaning, if the futures is more expensive than the spot, long holders will pay to short holders an amount to compensate for that, and vice versa. This is done so that the prices of the two instruments never diverge too much. If in your example the futures price was flat, but the funding rate started to increase, it actually means that the price of BTC started dropping. Could that be a reliable sign of an upcoming pump? — you decide.

A bull market doesn't mean that you go from the lowest to the highest price in a straight line. There are bearish retracements along the way. Conversely, in bear markets there are bullish retracements too (e.g. April 2026, where BTC went up 18% before falling a 26% during the following two months).

It looks like coinglass takes the USD inflow information (999,000,000) and converts the number to BTC. And for some reason, they used the exchange rate at $81,153, a number we were at last week. I honestly don't see into ETFs that much, but they would have to buy the bitcoin ever the weekend the latest to get such exchange rate.

When you say "the Internet," you mean the servers and www. There is no problem because BTC it is decentralized. The miners can take control of notes by the net....like the Web 1.0 in 80s And that we want, to make the Web 3

Inflation is not likely to never-ever going to fall....so BTC will likely continue to climb Both curves are in sync

I have it and coin base one I earn 4%b back on the first 10k, the unlimited 2% after 10k. Since I've had it (I think almost a year now) I have .05245 BTC earned. Not bad, that's about $4,081 with $473 (11.6%) Then on top of that, I'm holding some cash in USDC which currently pays 3.75% of which I get paid in BTC. That's about $3,500 so far. The biggest trick is to pay it off monthly. And then for me, I make my biggest quarterly expenses with it so even though there's 2% fee to pay with it, getting back $200 in BTC makes it worth it

I got one recently. It’s a ploy to get us to hold BTC there… but I like the high rewards. Gotta up those numbers ;)

>In Aug BTC went from $63K to $77K. (>20%). Ohh you're right. Thanks! >What that 90 days comment means is that it pays to wait! But more specifically, it means that we will potentially have another big step up, but it could take more than 90 days after August?

pezdal

Yes we have. In Aug BTC went from $63K to $77K. (>20%). We are up 40% in trailing 3M. What that 90 days comment means is that it pays to wait!

You're welcome. I think it's around 15 BTC given away total.
