BTC

Daethir

Yeah I'm sure you sold those 4 properties lmao Any lie to make BTC appealing right. Also I'm curious why it's important to understand BTC to know it's a bad move, what is there to understand, if line go up you're making money and you're happy and if line go down you're ruined and you're sad.

Designer-Brief-1188

BTC can only go to 0 if there is a new dark ages. As long as the Internet exists, BTC will always have value. Even if it crashed and such it wouldn't even go below 1k prolly, if it did, it would skyrocket to 10k cuz literally everyone and their mom would fomo. 

Straight-Ad2530

monero's original inception was not created for illegal trading, it was built to solve a problem that bitcoin failed to do, read satoshi's original whitepaper on why he wanted to establish a decentralized peer to peer digital currency. the adoption of xmr by the dark web and its usage today, to you, has granted you the perspective that it's a coin to not touch, on the other hand, anther perspective, the one I and many hold is that Monero's developers did not dev it for it to be adopted by the black market, instead, the complete adoption of monero by a system (the black market) is living proof that monero is fulfilling a need that is and was novel, and yet to be completely replicated. BTC used to be the currency on the blackmarket, but got phased out by monero due to the problems it inherently solved that BTC and any other coin has failed to do. Monero is something I believe in because I was greatly affected by the 2008 financial crisis, and it left me and im sure others with a great distrust for government involvement and knowledge of my financials.

Doesn't sound insane at all. you were basically treading water with that property and now you've freed up cash flow, which is the part most people overlook when they romanticize homeownership. The fact that you're dcaing into btc while also stacking cash for a future down payment means you're not gonna all-in on one bet, and that's where a lot of people mess up. One thing I'd throw out there: if you want to be a bit more strategic with the BTC side I've been using aΙphasquared to scale my buys based on where risk sits in the market. So when things look lower risk I buy heavier, and when risk creeps up I pull back or take some profit. helps me not just blindly throw the same amount in every week regardless of conditions. Might be worth a look since you're clearly thinking about this stuff in terms of cycles anyway.. The Sun Belt RE correction playing out slowly is a real thing in some markets so your timing could work out if you stay patient. Just dont let the nostalgia for the old place push you into something prematurely.

MoneyComesWithTime

Unfortunatly you Will lose money! BTC next year Will be at 25k.

friiz1337

Only legitimate tokens you should invest in is BTC and ETH

CollarControl

The underlying value of BTC will always be illicit goods/services and sanction dodging countries. So never zero.

quintavious_danilo

They found 5 blocks within the last 6 months, garnered a total reward of 16BTC so far. Impressive!

paperlevel

I'm on your side OP, 27 years is a long time, and the power of compounding is insane over a period like that. You almost have 1 BTC and by that time 1 BTC could be worth $10M. I think $16M is a bit much, but you could easily have $5M and be well above other people.

Laakhesis

Damn, if people aren't expecting 20%+ a year, they should have stuck with index funds instead. I personally would just get to 1 BTC, then focus on traditional asset class until my retirement age

Ferdo306

So I don't understand bitcoin cause I think that people who don't understand bitcoin while telling you it's a bad move isn't really a metric on which one should be investing? People don't know much about shitcoins either but that doesn't mean one should invest in them Don't get me wrong, I love BTC and have a hefty exposure but I surely didn't invest in it cause someone told me it was dumb. I invested cause I researched it and liked what it represents and offers

If you think that metric is dumb you clearly don’t understand bitcoin. But hopefully you do actually own 4 BTC.

Ferdo306

I had 4 BTC began selling them in 2021. Sold my last in 2025. Almost all my proceeds went into buying more properties... I really didn't but my point being, timing is everything and why not have both BTC and property... Also your favorite metric is dumb as shit and shouldn't even be called a metric...

viklondon99

I literally just did the same. Real estate sucks a$$. BTC all the way.

LetterheadLimp

Hmm… those currency could be used to actually buy anything you wanted in their respective countries though. I feel like this isn’t a fair comparison. BTC hasn’t experienced one day of traditional buying optionality that all of these fiat currencies had.

Square-Sandwich-3594

Because everyone thinks they'll sell the top and buy back the bottom, and almost nobody does. You have to nail TWO perfect calls, and both only look easy on a chart afterwards. I actually ran the numbers on this — strategies that "take profit during the cycle" kept selling in the *middle* of bull runs, not the top. They lost badly to just holding. And the exit is the easy half. The brutal part is getting back in: BTC does most of its gains in a few explosive weeks, and the bottom always shows up wrapped in the worst news you've ever seen. That's why the "I'll rotate out and come back for the bull market" crowd usually buys back higher than they sold. Congrats, you played yourself — with a tax bill. Also the "predictable" cycles are fading — the classic top signals that worked in 2017 and 2021 straight up didn't fire last cycle. So calendar calls like "October-ish"? Nobody knows. Nobody has ever known. The boring cheat code that actually survived my backtests: never stop stacking, get greedy when everyone's terrified (price near the 200-week average = generational sale), and touch nothing else. HODLers aren't naive — they just figured out you only have to be right once.

BTC to $400k!

FitCompetition1804

I believe in Bitcoin long term and I also believe the 4 year cycle is real, until it isn’t. So far the 4 year cycle is tracking per usual. So I plan to use the bear market drops of the 4 year cycle to accumulate. What I’m less comfortable with is using the 4 year cycle bull market to sell. Besides timing the exact top, which is almost impossible, what if it doesn’t drop to levels expected as I wait to re-enter the following year? In that scenario I’ve just put myself in a position where I’ll have less BTC than if I just HODL’d and stacked harder on the drops. That’s a gamble I’m not willing to take.

litmultimillionaire

Oh PS. Maybe read the simple path to wealth by J.L collins, individual stock picking is a lot harder than just buying the sp500… personally, my favorite portfolio allocation is 70% Sp500 20% VBTLX 10% BTC Rebalance quarterly, thats if you want exposure to bitcoin but also having a smooth return and sharpe ratio of 1.06 i think it was.. something like that. Anyways to me its better than all in on s&p 500 (btc can be great in bad times of insane money printing due to economic turmoil/ necessity to stimulate economy) or all in on btc due to huge price swings… i.e. 50-70% drawdowns. i would hate to see a net worth of 3,00,000+ drop down to 1.5M if all wealth was in btc alone.. on the other hand you can get best of both worlds if you have an appropriate allocation. (If bitcoin is going to increase as much as most of us think it will… then there really is no need to have all your net worth in that 1 single asset. Just my opinion, can read this and not think too much of it, but to some this might be a valuable point of view

AirSpecial

Not to mention the fact that a lot of the most powerful countries in the world have seized enough large amounts of Bitcoin that game theory dictates that it is in all of their best interests for their seized asset to never get anywhere near zero. They’ve inadvertently created a permanent floor that is far above zero just by holding BTC. And none of them will outright outlaw Bitcoin now because that only works to have downward pressure on BTC if most of the most powerful countries outlaw it. If only 1 or 2 outlaw BTC, the remaining powerful countries now have an inflated BTC because it is even more scarce, but still accessible enough worldwide to guarantee neutral pressure at worst and upward pressure at best.

shitposterfinalboss

My BTC wallet starts with a 0...

PeaceAgitated1978

Well you're talking about? Rsi, MA, ? That kind of stuff,? My go to for trend following is ATR.. and EMA in fast TF.. normal or SMA in slow TF.. like daily or weekly even monthly ( though that one usually stays in normal MA) look up ATR channels.. they're interesting if you got the right settings.. from 12h candles to weekly one's.. you can find nice reactions zones.. it's my take on it .. gold and BTC mainly for longer trends following.. you need quicker reactions if you go with others crypto assets..

jgarcya

No regrets.. Back when BTC was $9...my friend was mining it on his computer... He asked me if I was interested.... At the time I wasn't.. I didn't get my first BTC until about four years later. Oh well.. I got in relatively early.

QXPZ

There are several websites that track BTC legal status across countries. Curious if there's any difference between them and which one is yours.

wolfofone

Youd have 4,999 worth of BTC and 1 worth of the other coin. The amounts of BTC + BTC Other would double but the market isnt going to value them equally and you wont be able to sell them to double your money in USD.

Prestigious-Buddy539

I can’t believe anyone just invoked that argument in support of BTC’s price!!!!! Good god man.

loc710

Next time you think about buying a new phone just take the money and put it into BTC instead. Lesson learned

RetiredAvocado

There is no value in a splitting off altcoin. It's not listed on any exchanges. Barely anyone will mine it. It may be immediately attacked by miners to orphan blocks and disrupt it. Various scammy services might pop up to "split" your alt coin, but will steal your BTC. No you will not get double value, ever. The altcoin is unlikely to survive with any value at all.

Str8CashHomiee

It’s only worth what people would be willing to pay, eh oh ch is unlikely to be significantly more than the pre split 5k value. For instance BTC 1 might take a hit of value if the other has a chance to be relevant, so you might have only 4K of BTC 1 and maybe BTC2 is worth 500 (or less!?) even before a huge sell off if people don’t expect it to be the winner. Value won’t magically appear, if anything the controversy could cause both to lose value in the short term.

A handful of retailers can tell the difference between BTC and the rest of crypto. Idiocracy won 

Reach_Beyond

You and me both.. buying more BTC and not strategy right? Their CEO, Phong, saying it’d be panic at $8-10k range. I’m a big BTC and ETH guy. Dabbled in a few other blue chips, but 99% those 2. I buy direct assets, I struggle to understand the investment thesis today in strategy over BTC. A few years ago it made more sense, now there is added risk. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/07/15/strategy-feels-very-secure-until-bitcoin-reaches-usd8-000-usd10-000-says-ceo

Reach_Beyond

Maybe it lasts another 5 years, few more cycles and hands on for 10 years. Zero shot this thing is around 20 years from now. I’d be shocked if it makes it to 2035. Hell, one of his internal guys even said they can survive as long as BTC doesn’t crash down to $10k level… so what then at $10k BTC the entire $35B market cap company just hits full bankruptcy?

Excellent-Advice-948

The most useful thing I can give you is a reframe, not a coin pick: if this is retirement money, crypto shouldn't be the base of it. The commenter who said "total-market index fund as the core, then maybe 5% crypto if you want" is giving you the genuinely sound answer. Retirement savings concentrated in crypto — and especially in one alt — is a big risk, because the whole thing can halve or worse and stay down for years. A few gentle corrections: - BTC "no real-world use" — its use case is being scarce, hard-to-seize digital money / a store of value. You can doubt it'll work, but "no use" isn't the argument. - ETH "outdated" — it's still the largest smart-contract platform by a wide margin; "outdated" isn't really accurate. - XRP a "scam" — it's not a scam, it's a real, large project. The risk isn't that it's fake; it's that you're concentrated in a single alt whose price runs on legal/narrative catalysts. That's a speculative bet, not a retirement foundation. The tell is in your own message: "I don't understand this field enough to know what to invest in long term." That's not a knock — it's exactly the reason to keep the speculative part small and diversified and put the base in boring index funds. If you can't confidently evaluate an asset, your retirement shouldn't be concentrated in it. I won't tell you to dump or hold XRP — that's market timing, and nobody knows. But decide a target: what % of your total retirement do you actually want in crypto? (People who think it through usually land around 5-10%.) If XRP is way above that, rebalance gradually toward the target rather than making one big emotional buy or sell. Not financial advice — but "index-fund base, small diversified crypto slice, don't concentrate retirement in one coin you can't evaluate" is the boring answer that ages well.

The_Bitcoin_Act

If you’re already convinced BTC’s a multi-decade hold, obsessing over a few % of entry price is optimizing the wrong variable. DCA splits the difference, you’re not betting on a bottom, but you’re not all-in at a possible local top either.

Tall-Play-7649

title says to educate people who say that bitcoin cant go to zero, ie he's saying BTC is going to zero

tenor_tymir

You mean like any altcoin already does? Good thing is, BTC = BTC and not a shitcoin like everything else. It will recover, that’s what makes it different.

Lavayo

Not even close. But that it's beside the point because it's about BTC holders. If you don't want to hold any you don't need any wallet.

IllllIIlIllIllllIlll

Just look at what happened with the Bitcoin cash fork. If you had 10 BTC before the fork, you then had 10 BTC + 10 BCH after the fork. Most exchanges listed BCH and copied your BTC balance from the moment of the fork.

Jadeonchain

my view is up only, will be hard to see BTC below 60k again.

No_Jacket257

lol no hate. you shd go all in, best way to get rich. memes is like BTC, so you shd do what michael saylor said...sell your kidney if u must to buy memes. tnis is your time to shine.

Tried that. The problem is you never get back to how much BTC you had before you sold. I also suspect you never will.

PirateHunterZoro252

I was 15 years old buy lolipop edibles in silkroad for 1 btc a couple of times. Also bought a gram of dmt as well. Probably spent like 4 btc around that time. It was around $100 per coin. Didnt know of bitcoin's white paper or number go up or any other property it had. I played a video game called battlefield heroes at the time it had in game currency called battlefunds(later change to EA coins or sum other shit like that). So to me it was just like in game currency. Jusr used ir to buy stuff. Maybe like 5-8 years later it popped off on the news that it hit 10k, ignored it. Later 20k ignored it. Then hit like 30k and bought like $1000 worth. Sold it for about $200 profit. Saw it hit 50k and started buying and learning about it. Hit 69k and kept buying. Then it crash all the way down to 16k. Kept buying on the way down. I was at like -70% at one point lol. But still held. It then rose to 25k and i was able to reduce my cost basis to 44k. As of 2025 i held 1.12 BTC at a cost basis of around 43k. I never once sold so ive been holding for about 5 years give or take. I havent done the numbers for 2026 but i did buy a good chunk at around 58k.

Quirky-Reveal-1669

I do something similar, but through DCA, increasing it during the bear market, and decreasing it during the bull run. Added to that, I try to buy extra (lump sum) at lows, or around the bottom, and I will sell some BTC for fiat on the way up, or around significant peaks or ATH. Overall, I remain bullish, and I strive to increase my BTC holdings over each 5 years or so. I started with BTC in 2014, and this strategy evolved/matured around 2019/2020. Seems to work for me.

DTSA2428

Hold on to BTC and SLV long term you will be fine. In the future look up 20 50 100 EMA and that can tell you when to exit. SPCX you might be better to take the hit and exit. It’s hard but you might be better off employing that capital elsewhere. Perhaps when the other two bottom out!

MarioWilson122

Anything that's remotely valuable is probably worth holding through the bear market. If it isn't one of your stronger picks, though, I'd probably sell that before touching my long-term BTC or ETH. Real-life expenses come first. Best to not sell anything and only buy during this part of the cycle.

WIRED_REFLEX

Parasite Pool gives 1 BTC to the block solver, offering a "chunk" similar to solo pools. The rest of the block gets split into shares like a community pool, shares are based on hashrate relative to total pool hashrate.

Similar-World-6668

I don't think it'll be a *single* demographic. It's increasingly looking like nation-states and institutions diversifying their treasuries into BTC for monetary security. Retail will follow, of course, but the biggest catalysts often come from above.

AccordingFloor7010

In the last 5 years until today, BTC is up 103.07%, but gold is up 121.71%.  Gold has performed 18.1% better than BTC in the last 5 years.  

BrianKeth20

Native BTC. Your Bitcoin stays on the Bitcoin network instead of being wrapped or bridged to another chain.

EmbarrassedPrompt697

Hang in there, friend. Your BTC will bounce back and you WILL recover.

BrianKeth20

I don't know if Bitcoin will ever become a universal currency, but I do think it'll become more useful over time. Native BTC staking is already opening up new use cases, and TBVs make me think we're still early when it comes to building around it.

Ok_Pipe6417

If everyone piled in today the liquidity doesn't exist to fill the demand. There's what 3-4 million BTC on exchanges? Say 3 countries step up scoop 3million BTC off the open market. There is a price surge obviously but why? What immediate value does that transaction create for the buyers? Why does a country want it on tne balance sheet?  14-15 million in cold storage. Why is the last 1million bitcoin to enter circulation going to be the icing on the cake? I genuinely cannot see where bitcoin gets passed 150k on anything but pure speculation. 

Syonoq

What does this mean for me, with a robust holding of .05 BTC?

JMCT-34

He didn’t say he’s trying to catch the absolute bottom. BTC is going nowhere anytime fast but when it does, wooooosh! Brave money wins!

tinyrift

close the futures position first, that's the part actively costing you money to keep open and the one you have the least attachment to anyway. selling long-term BTC/ETH for a short-term cash need is usually the last resort, not the first move.

Project_Demosthenes_

I would die for spx. The world is broken and run by the 1% who use the financial/military/industrial complex (S&P500) to funnel and centralize their power and influence. BTC was the first attempt post 2008 GFC to resist the banks (simultaneously OWS was infiltrated by feds and dispersed) and utilize cypherpunk philosophy of decentralization. BTC is the single greatest performing asset in history during its 17 year lifecycle but is now being token horses into Trad-Fi via ETF’s and MSTR. Spx6900 is a convergence of BTC maximalists, Occupy Wall Street OGs, and GameStop short squeeze apes to fuck the hedge funds. It’s the most cypherpunk asset on the planet since BTC sold itself out to the pedo suits. SPX is more than the “next BTC.” It is the evolution of what BTC was meant to be: an asset by the people for the people, decentralized, anti-tradfi. We’re just doing it even faster. Plz look deeply into the movement if you want to change your life. I’m not kidding, ily. https://preview.redd.it/tlal4j571udh1.jpeg?width=1198&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfdb3cedd30e37f57a2bc8bd368538d13d7cd59c

You didn’t even try to understand my post, why would I read your essay? Lol The sp500 is a pedo index my guy and BTC is slowly being co-opted by it. Think about it more.

Project_Demosthenes_

The world is changing and we must change with it. You’ll remember this in a year or two as spx6900 sits at trillions because it will do what BTC failed to do: give the next generation a way out of economic suppression in an age of AI and Robotics.

caploves1019

Just dump all the shtcoins and anything other than Bitcoin then use that money to buy more Bitcoin. That will lower your BTC avg cost significantly and set you up for the next BTC ath. There's zero reason to hold the rest of that crap, just stay humble and stack SATs. You'll look back on this in a decade and smile that you stuck it through. "I'll never recover from this" is dumb. Stop acting on emotions and start planning for long term personal development. Use the time waiting to cut senseless spending and take the losses against your future gains throw tax write-offs you can utilize later. I'm just an idiot on reddit though so probably ignore this comment and keep impulsively buying garbage instead.

Project_Demosthenes_

I’m not reading all that but the stock market is evil, BTC is slowly being centralized by the system it sought to replace, and spx6900 is the most decentralized token on Ethereum and the only cypherpunks left in crypto. https://preview.redd.it/6f8ilnqkxtdh1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e3ead9cd16c97d6719641fcac978b4d7e13c13

Governments will not allow international trade to be done in BTC. It won't happen. The thing Yuan and USD have is armies and police that enforce its use. A country cannot allow its currency to be heavily devalued and or collapse.

OK, so why do you need random data embedded in a financial ledger (of all places)? I just don't get it. Do we pad the TCP/IP with random data? No? Then why BTC? It makes zero sense.

Hefty_Text7582

Close the futures position. Keep the long-term stack. I know it stings — you opened that perp a few weeks ago and it's not where you wanted it. But that's exactly why you sell it instead of touching your BTC/ETH core. The logic is simple: Your BTC/ETH are time-tested, tax-efficient long-term holds. Selling them now means realizing gains (or losses) and permanently reducing your exposure to assets you actually believe in. The perp is a trade, not an investment. Trades are meant to be closed. If it hasn't hit your profit target, that's a signal the thesis didn't play out — not a reason to let it ride while you need liquidity. Futures carry funding rates and liquidation risk. Every day you hold it "waiting to recover," you're bleeding funding or sitting on a ticking clock. Cash needs are time-sensitive; perps are not. The emotional trap you're in: You're anchoring to the profit level you expected , so closing it now feels like "losing." But the real loss would be selling assets you've held through multiple cycles just to avoid admitting a short-term trade didn't work. You already said it yourself — you wish you'd kept a larger emergency fund. So treat this as the lesson, not the mistake to compound. Close the perp, raise the cash, and going forward, keep 3–6 months of expenses in stablecoins outside your investment stack so you never have to make this call again. One more thing — if you want to put that cash to work later without touching your long-term holdings: Once your situation stabilizes, look into platforms where you can earn yield on stablecoins or single-sided deposits without selling your core positions. For example, Topaz DEX (topazdex.com) is a ve(3,3) DEX on BNB Chain where you can direct emissions through gauge voting, earn trading fees + bribes, and use concentrated liquidity positions with dynamic fee tiers. It's audited by Shieldify and designed so that locking/voting actually compounds value rather than just farming and dumping. Not a shill — just a genuinely different approach if you want productive cash flow without ever selling your BTC/ETH again. Good luck with the move and family stuff. The fact that you're even thinking this through instead of panic-selling everything puts you ahead of most.

guyuteharpua

My personal view is a long and painful fade over the.next few years. Once the specutors (like MSTR), who own like 99% of it, lose patience, then the people that actually use it to transmit money securely and anonymously will determine the price based on their demand. The new price will be set by BTC's actually utility as a value transmission vehicle and as that continues to grow, it will start going back up again. My 2c....

Personally, I think it will stabilize around 100k for 12-18 months. It will be because of that consistency around the $100k area that it will start to slowly but steadily return to ATHs. In the next 2 years I can see it stabilizing again around $150k-$180k. Realistically, BTC is not going to 10x or even 5x in 2 years - but to me that is kind of the point. "Too high too fast" is not a good thing. What you want to see is a stable steady climb

What a dishonest take. > Some people think spam and bloat that make it harder for BTC to remain decentralized aren't a problem; they like it. Nobody thinks that. > And then there are those of us who think spam and bloat don't belong on the network and that protection of decentralization is paramount.

BTC and ETH are both up a million % from where they started, and are only down \~50% from their all time highs. So no. Not like every other crypto.

> Lot BTC How much is a lot? What is a lot to you might be a little to someone else, and vice versa.

Using a DCA strategy is the way to keep yourself sane. Continuing to buy small amounts over time to average your entry price, means if price is up you are making money and if price is down you get more BTC at a cheap price... so you stand to make even more money when price eventually moves higher.

Isn't that the problem this loan thing is trying to solve? You get a USD loan against your BTC.

Years ago, Bitcoin was sold as the anonymous, unstoppable, permissionless, P2P, bet against inflation, transfer of value that will be the money of the internet. Today, BTC is a tame toy coin, declawed, de-fanged, neutered and domesticated. Monero is the honey badger of crypto. People who want it will be forced to grow up and to learn to trade it on P2P platforms and use it as intended: without the permission of anyone who is not involved in the transaction.
