BTC

didnt_hodl

it's not diversification when you buy a ton of shitcoins over the years, you learn one simple thing: the longer you observe this market, the more of a bitcoin maxi you become. it's just how it goes takes some time to realize that the only goal of every single shitcoin out there was to get your bitcoin. and unfortunately even ETH started the same way, the initial offering was literally you get ETH in exchange for BTC

Cheap BTC was $11 14 years ago.

First. You shouldn't be listening to anyone myself included. But I will give you my two cents.BTC maxis are regarded as you can definitely make money off of alts. If you wanna make money you have to be a mercenary. Don't marry any fucking coin. First learn about tokenomics, bagholder ceiling. Once you do that. You just buy coins which aren't massively down from their ATHs and listing price. Check if the coins have some kind of working product behind it being used, check if the coins aren't massively down from its ATHs and check if the coins have a clean tokenomics, check if the coins have a descent and growing volume and liquidity. Low volume and liquidity are a massive red flag..

Superunknown999

But it’s not the evolution of money. If there is an evolution happening it’s stablecoins. Essentially no one uses BTC as money and more importantly no one WANTS to use BTC as money. In its 15+ year history, the best “use case” for BTC has been speculative trading.

unknowngloomth

But bitcoin is down from its 2021 top. Holding BTC for 5 years didn't beat inflation assuming one never sold 😏

XRP already got clarity from the SEC my brother and its now a dead coin as its not being adopted bu financial institutions. If you do a bit of research rather than believing influencers that don't know what they are talking about. CC Canton coin is what you should be looking at for this use case , look into it yourself and make a call. If you want long term money growth BTC , ETH and SOL are the coins you should be looking into. This is not advice please do your own research and for the love of God do not listen to anyone making crypto videos on social media.

outofmymind49

No, BTC is in a bear market and has been since October last year. That's a deep as it gets, no need to be reaching so hard 😭

Yuunyxz

People still believe any of this? Don't get me wrong, I've been fan of BTC since 2010, but no way governments will ever allow any of this. And as we know, BTC transaction's aren't all that untraceable as people claim them to be.

CODE_HEIST

If selling $1k fixes a real cash-flow problem, that is a risk-management decision, not a Bitcoin prediction. The bigger issue is having too much net worth tied up if normal expenses force you to debate selling. Keep enough cash that you are not making portfolio decisions under pressure. You might regret selling if BTC runs, but you will also regret being forced to sell more later because there was no buffer.

FanNeither2678

tbh putting half your savings in one coin is pretty risky no matter which one you pick. I get the excitement about potential gains but crypto can be wild - like one tweet can tank everything for months. Maybe consider spreading it around next time? I made similar mistake few years back with different alt coin and learned hard way about diversification. XRP could moon but it could also just sit there doing nothing while BTC runs up. The stress of watching half your savings swing around probably gonna be brutal on your mental health too

Objective_Border3591

Invest 60K. Buy 1 BTC. Become whole coiner. Learn bitcoin and continue DCA. Stay humble and Hodl! Historical time for you. Best of luck!

Polmax2312

It wasn’t 0,31. It was 1BTC per 2000ETH and later for 1337 ETH.

FriendIntelligent177

Should've invested in BTC and major alts, not random sh*tcoins with big promises

doyzer9

Dude I rate xrp, however BTC, Eth, and sol have more potential. What exchange are you using. I ask because in the current market I would stick 50% BTC, 30% Eth, 20 sol and 10 xrp. Set a loss limit to match your tolerance level. Say 10-15% drop if cautious and sell at your tolerance level. Take profit at stages, there will be another dip, study the market and if appropriate buy back at the bottom of the dip (easier said than done) scalping seems to be where the profit is ATM. Long term storage not so sure. This is just my 2cent worth, I have xrp, but don't follow my own advice and I am running at a loss. 🤯🤯🤯

fajarsis02

>Its seems like a very good opportunity to buy now, no? Gauge the market greed and fear index, the more fearful it is the better.. The more frequent you heard people say BTC is dead, the better..

Mdlage

Why sell at 120?  There are a lot of reasons to sell at 60k. Such as…. You invested in BTC and realize you don’t understand crypto and want to switch to an investment you understand better. Maybe you have too much of your net worth invested. I sold BTC at 90 to rebalance down to 5% of my nw being in crypto and no more.  Maybe they need the money? Or want to buy a good? Crypto is meant to be a currency not an investment, maybe they wanted to use currency to make a purchase, maybe they wanted to make a purchase that doesn’t accept BTC and needed to swap to fiat.  People have stop losses. They decided they’re selling x% at a strike point and 60k is that strike they decided on. Why ever buy or sell it? 

AWinterHeart

Financial institutions have been trying to centralise BTC -they'd centralise 21 million of they could. Paper BTC/ETFs are the way they get capital flows away from self custody BTC (this is where BTC has its original value and power). Self custody of the coin is the key. And wait this out. If you're a short term profit taker BTC likely won't work for you. You only have to look at who is buying up BTC religiously throughout every headline.

Forward_Opposite_789

I've done a loan on Celsius managed to withdraw everything before they went luckily. Then I did a nexo one paid back easily. Then I did a defi one on sovryn to buy more BTC this I would say is the safest and best of the three I've tried.

NJ0000

So BTC is: \- no currency \- no gold \- no hedge to inflation So what will it be now?

Riflurk123

It literally is though? The guy in the video can hand him 10k cash and he can go into the next store there and spend it. How long will it take him to convert any of the 100 BTC as a completely new person into fiat that he can actually spend? This isnt even debatable that in the case in the video it is "faster money". Ultimately the worse deal in total money worth, but he can spend it immediately

Important-Minimum777

Read my post again. I said standard loan, not a BTC backed loan. Only problem would be if you can carry the payments. Your BTC would never be in jeopardy. You could just do what Saylor did and sell a sliver to make that month's payment if you're in a pinch. A standard loan isn't leverage. It's debt.

shiny-iseult

I bought more ETH and BTC today instead of SPCX lol

IInsulince

Some places do already accept 0-confirmation payments, usually with the audit trail of a name, address, phone number to contact if you somehow get your transaction removed before confirmed, and also usually on lower priced items. For me though, I consider this confirmation time comparison to be measuring not how long it takes for the equivalent of a credit card payment to be approved, but more like how long it would take to do final settlement with something like gold. Good luck doing final settlement with gold in less than 26 minutes, especially if you want to be able to do it with anyone anywhere in the world. If you want even faster forms of settlement (but not final settlement), that’s what L2 and beyond is for. L1 settlement is analogous to gold settlement, compare BTC to gold settlement. L2 settlement is analogous to credit card settlement, compare lightning to a credit card payment.

SYNDK8D

And I have roughly 21M BTC

SN617

I taken one through a couple cycles. The single thing that matters most: your LTV and the margin call level. Know exactly what price BTC has to hit before they call you, and assume it will get tested, because volatility always shows up. Borrow way under the max. If a platform lets you go to 70 percent LTV, that does not mean you should. Lower starting LTV is your buffer against forced liquidation. Also read who actually holds your collateral and whether they rehypothecate it. Watch the rate too, some are fixed, some float. Done carefully it works fine. Done greedy it can wipe you out in a bad week.

hkeyplay16

Yeah, but would he have bought the BTC in the first place if he wasn't going to spend it? That's not a buy and hold crowd...it's a buy spend and..."shit do I still have a wallet with a fraction of a btc left on it after 10 years?"

hkeyplay16

I sold an entire bitcoin for $1,100 USD in 2017. I defi itely regret that. I used it for the down payment on a used pontoon. That was one hell of an expensive used pontoon. I sold the pontoon 3 years later for about $1000 less than I bought it for but I'll never get that BTC back.

Kitchen_Net_GME

Cold storage doesn’t make sense to me. I’m not knocking it. I just don’t understand. I can buy BTC with my brokerage account. It’s insured. Please enlighten me. Honestly. Isn’t cold storage essentially the same thing as holding cash in an envelope buried in a secret spot?

CyroSwitchBlade

It actually could be.. if BTC can hold up above 60k for a while longer a whole bunch of shorts are going to get liquidated sending it back up probably into the mid 70s

hkeyplay16

Buy the top 3-5, but not all at once. Heaviest (more than 50%) on BTC, then 25% on ETH, then a few others. DCA in and buy extra on the big dips. Take a little off the table during the big bull runs. Like if we get 20% or more past ATH, maybe start to DCA out and DCA back in again when when we're down 40% or more from the ATH. Do this for 10 years. Keep most of it safely off the exchanges and backed up in multiple places, but also encrypted.

insubordinate_kralc

I know people with 100% of their investments in BTC. I know people with 50%, I know people who won’t touch it. I’m not anywhere near 50% but that’s just me. Based on your conviction, you do you boo-boo.

Stock_Coconut1004

Scroll down to bottom of Bitcoin balance page and Check under Settings >> Display currency >> click the BTC button

InternationalRadio1

Wow, this is why you shouldn't. Alts? Now all of a sudden I'm a huge BTC believer??? Just go sit on the sidelines bud.

dj_destroyer

I've always regretted anytime I sold -- but that's just me. I'd have 5-10 BTC if I never sold and would be near retirement.

BabyNimps

You made this same post but with BTC last month back when “10k” was “half” your “savings”

Lord_Gudda

Should have just bought BTC. It has outperformed all alts across the board.

PacoCrazyfoot

I had a buddy that bought 300 BTC back when it was about $1 so he could buy molly on Silk Road (when that was a thing). I’m guessing he regrets that choice.

sigh_duck

60% BTC, 30% Solid Alts, 10% Speculation

Justinformation

Safest bet are still BTC (and ETH). My shill is TRAC. currently hovers around place 200 on market cap. It has been around since 2017 I believe. Its non-inflationary and capped at 500M tokens. They basically deal with interconnected data on their decentralized knowledge graph, but the technical stuff you can read up on yourself if interested https://origintrail.io/. In the coming weeks they should come out with V10, which will allow us to stake again. In previous versions rewards were up to 15%. Big opportunity is a client/partner-company of theirs which should be scaling up called [Umanitek](https://umanitek.ai/). Umanitek got some big name investors and [apparently already have celebrities](https://x.com/otnoderunner/status/2054976492916891803) in their client-list (This is from a video). They're working on expanding worldwide. That should bring more usage and value/rewards. Those should be happening 'soon', but you may remember what 'soon' means in the cryptospace. Ok that was my best shill attempt, thanks for listening.

Puzzleheaded-Pool-71

Nah wait longer people and buy BTC lower than it is now. Really can’t understand all these Bitcoin Bangers who will literally buy bitcoins no matter wtf is going on — and then try to pass this off as some momentous strategy/deep wisdom. If you know about the cycles, then you should be waiting for the real bottom. Cuz it ain’t here yet buckaroos.

TheCurlyHomeCook

Which is exactly whst leads them to think 10k is worth more. Because they don't know that BTC is worth more.

FigmaWallSt

Sure but thats like asking do want 10000$ or 1 Berkshire Hathaway A Share. If you ask random people on the street, they’ll take the 10k, if you ask on a stock subreddit, people will take the berkshire share. A more interesting question in my opinion is whether people would like 1 BTC or 63.700$ (thats what 1 BTC is worth right now). To be fair I assume most would take the cash because they need it to pay their expenses rather than having some invested in a fluctuating asset like BTC with the risk of having less money if you need to liquidate in the next few months to pay medical bills etc.

Warm_Collection_3993

When to sell more for the Anthropic IPO. Thx BTC for the funds for SoaceX today.

_RonPaulWasRight_

I really is the other way around - true bottoms form when no one wants to sell. When all the selling has been done and no one else wants to unload any more BTC. Then, you have a bottom. Only then.

TheCurlyHomeCook

I think the reason your point is lost, is that if the dates aren't accurste then this basically says: "Here are all the price levels BTC has hit at some point disconnected to the dates. Also, here are some bigger prices it hasn't hit that aren't connected to dates. Let that sink in" It's akin to highlighting a bunch of past dates and stating that humans existed on these dates, and then some random future dates and using the fact that we existed in 1990, 2000, 2010 so we must also humans survive to 2090 or 3540. No connection.

Electronic-Rate5497

Doesn’t SpaceX have a large chunk BTC?

Capital_High_84

The key here is **belief**. Is there too much belief, or are the fundamentals truly that strong? Michael Saylor became the evangelist of Bitcoin, using historical parallels and powerful allegories to argue that BTC is the GOAT of all assets throughout history. His conviction inspired many, but now, seeing how the mighty have fallen, it's incredible to witness. Perhaps this serves as a reminder that no narrative, no matter how compelling, is immune to reality. The question remains: was it excessive faith, or are the fundamentals still stronger than the current sentiment suggests?

FigmaWallSt

They don’t think that 10k is worth more than 1BTC. They probably just don’t know how much 1BTC is worth right now

BookOfKingsOfKings

I am DCAing BTC and one alt, XLM, for now. I want to look to diversifying past crypto but got no idea where to start (ETFs, stocks mutual funds etc) one thing I sure won’t be buying is SPCX. 

Lacklusterlandon

Nobody gives a shit about BTC anymore it’s had a long time and literally has nothing to show for it

Xennenial

The AI stocks are very overvalued. This will probably lead to a very big market correction before anything else gets moving. It's possible that if the Clarity Act passes, it could kickstart some bullish sentiment. Hard to tell how that would play out though. The average person believes it's still 2009 and BTC has no other purpose besides buying drugs on Silk Road, that sentiment has to change.

RemoteSize1397

All the banks are underwriting loans based on BTC 10-40% per year over the next 10 years. But most people are too stupid to connect the dots.

ledgerthrowaway12345

The only time I ever sold bitcoin was at $12k in 2019. I sold 0.2 BTC. Yes, I regret it.

Be_Me_Anon_irl

Less likely to not be given 10k than BTC

DrEtatstician

Unlike stocks , BTC value is driven by supply - Demand and if 1 person is willing to pay more he price increases !! High risk high reward play

OrangePillar

It’s sats, 0.00000001 BTC.

canadas

Yes but I keep it general, not I own x BTC.

DrProfresher

Disregarding if those funds where accumulated nefariously or not; Monero showcased its purpose and this is also another reason not to use USDT (or any other freezable crypto). A centralized actor having the power to freeze wealth is exactly the problem BTC was meant to solve.

MrKillerKiller_

Buy us out? Huh? It’s a trade in a tiny market cap asset in the sketchiest asset class in the history of markets. Huge pullbacks are gonna be a thing for at least the next decade for BTC

No-Conference5664

BTC remains the only safe bet long-term. Most alts bleed against it forever. ETH has real risks from AI audits and quantum threats. Stick to native Segwit BTC, no address reuse. That’s your edge. The rest is gambling.

No-Conference5664

Crypto is bleeding, but it's not over. BTC near $60k support hold or drop to $50k. ETH under $2k looks weak. Alts are dying, but good projects survive. This is a normal cycle crash, not the end. Stop panicking. Don't overleverage. DCA slowly. Keep cash ready. Wait for real bounce above $67k. You've seen this before.

FitCompetition1804

Told my mother in law, who was nice enough to store one of my Shamir backups that I’m getting into BTC this year. She asked, “isn’t it down?” My response was “exactly”.

Maximum-Cover-786

Over-Winter-3668

Bruh… Does that mean I’m in the 1%? I’ve got .13 BTC.

Nice-Worldliness9254

I lost 10 BTC from 2014 myself. Back then wallets didn’t use seed phrases like today — you had a wallet file sitting somewhere on a hard drive. I went through years of trying to recover it and never managed to. So honestly, your story didn’t impress me that much considering what some of us already lived through in the early Bitcoin days.

HoldMyCrackPipe

People will buy and hold BTC then wonder why it doesn’t have adoption as a currency…. Why would you buy anything with your bitcoin if you very truly believed it would be worth more tomorrow…

JunkBondJunkie

My dad does and he told me BTC was stupid when I was mining it.

FKNLE63ND

Cold storage : Coldcard Q Seed storage: Crypto Tag Zeus (titanium plates) Watch a few videos from BTC sessions (on YouTube) for the Coldcard Q setup They just need to have access to the seed phrase and they’ll be fine. Good move! They’ll be happy in the future 😎

usa_reddit

It's not that bad, it's only down 30% YTD. Just keep holding, it will go up when everyone realizes how amazing BTC really is. Do not sell, diamond hands all the wall to $100K. Over the past 5-days BTC is up almost .34% which is a positive side, some might say statistical noise and trading sideways, but I say positive sign.

IndustrialPuppetTwo

This isn't the end—it's the start of the next cycle. I'm talking about BTC. One of the most interesting on-chain indicators is Bitcoin's Supply in Profit vs. Supply in Loss. Supply in Profit measures the percentage of coins whose current price is above their last on-chain purchase price, while Supply in Loss measures the percentage of coins currently underwater. When these two lines converge and cross, it means that more than half of Bitcoin's circulating supply is sitting at an unrealized loss. Historically, these periods have coincided with major bear-market bottoms and some of the best long-term accumulation opportunities. The crossover has now occurred again. In previous cycles, similar signals appeared around the major lows of 2011, 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2022. While no indicator is perfect and history never repeats exactly, this has consistently been one of the strongest on-chain signs that the market is entering a late-stage capitulation phase rather than the beginning of a new downtrend. If history rhymes, the next few months could look a lot more like accumulation than collapse. It has not failed yet. Of course it could but it has not so far. Now is an excellent time to DCA and perhaps in a month or two ape in a bit. Don't throw any money into BTC that you need to feed yourself or pay your rent.

BakedGoods

lol so many bad takes. he sold the equivalent of $10 bucks of bitcoin to us plebs. he also told everyone he was going to do it on the last earnings call. the s&p500 inclusion and ratings agencies clearly stated they won't count Strategy's BTC as an asset unless they prove they're willing to sell it. so he sold $10 worth to prove he could and a week later bought 100x that amount. not rocket science guys.

__redruM

It likely is, but stop at 10-20%, put the rest in index funds. If you don’t have a brokerage account, open one, and: - 15% BTC - 25% QQQ - 60% VOO

Blackiris-Code

I'd rather use a piece of paper as cold storage tbh. A written seed phrase can be broken into pieces (with numbers for order) to increase security, duplicated if needed, wedged inside books, moved digitally... Unless your kids want to use DeFi, there isn't much to do with BTC, beside holding it in the hope that its value goes up. (It will very likely go up from today's value, at some point.)

Beginning-Tax-8473

All of crypto is a fkn joke!! Worthless and seems like every crypto we thought would be legit was just a fkn rug pull. Even BTC is a shitcoin , ETH is useless, SOL is worthless, XrP dont even get me started on how big of a fuckery xrp is..  The whole market, stocks and crypto is rigged and completely market manipulation.. The 9 families that created the Central Banking system are at war with anyone or anything that could make one $$ or self reliant.

Parraddiddle

I just did!.. I took out a BTC backed loan on Coinbase with 3 BTC as collateral then bought 1 BTC on another exchange and transferred the 1 BTC back to Coinbase and now have 4 BTC as collateral for a $60,000 loan, the terms are to pay back whenever and there is no minimum payments, so ideally I could wait for let’s hypothetically say $200,000 BTC and pay back in full plus interest on the original $60,000 loan. The risk is that BTC goes below around $18,000 and I would be liquidated. This is worst case scenario and I don’t think we will get close. I will also be transferring around $20,000 to Coinbase for a safety net in the event we get close to the liquidation point, in this case I can either pay down the loan or just add more collateral by buying more BTC at a lower price. I’m not suggesting anyone do this, it’s just what I am doing.

Leithm

Since you left,  Saylor  has leveraged his balance sheet against Bitcoin bought 50bln of BTC with 60 Bln of borrowed money and people are trying to work out how the gap  will be filled.  Eth cannot  scale and Solana started eating it’s lunch now Hype is eating Sol’s lunch and none of them look much like what Satoshi invented. Ask yourself if you care about… Proof of work vs Proof of  stake, decentralisation, what crypto is for.

Ge_Yo

I was referring to things like native BTC staking, using BTC as collateral, and the infrastructure emerging around those models. Not saying they'll be the main driver, but they could contribute over time.

TenderLA

So are you actually pricing it in Bitcoin or will you change the BTC amount as the USD value changes?

Retire_date_may_22

I said Crypto keeps printing. There’s little barrier to a new coin. If you can’t read you probably don’t understand crypto. As for BTC. You don’t even know who owns most of it.

Arboga_10_2

I personally would not go over 5%. BTC could to a million or to 0. Don't invest more than you could stand to lose completely overnight.

Much-Log-187

The news are terrible but BTC is still 60k+, which surprises me. I think it will drop between 40-50k from October. Many people lost money with crypto, they are tired of praying for their token to pump, which is way too risky and random. They discovered ETF, semiconductors compagnie, AI, which rely on something in the real world, which is adopted contrary to defi... In less than one year AI has been adopted wildly. At the opposit, more than 10 years of cryptocurrencies have only raise scams, suspicions, sophisticated ponzi schemes and next to no adoption. Altcoins are too diluted. It is too easy to create a new crypto. Blockchains are mostly hype trains but after some time still 0 real usecase. People still believe on BTC as a mean to protect over inflation, monkey money, but as it is also highly centralized and manipulated and its performance are decreasing and decreasing, people will prefer ETFs or stock picking.

FranklinCook

I dont see a reason to go into anything crypto related except BTC and maybe top 3 alts. If i want more of a short term gamble i rather buy a stock/Tech sector ETF etc. Obviously some selected alts will do well but its so hard to get the right ones now with the sheer amount of projects/coins available…

Chemfreak

Just factually wrong. If I buy 100 BTC, and 100 people sell 1 BTC, there is 100x more sellers than buyers but supply and demand mechanics hold. I'm so confused how confident you are when it's clearly wrong.

JustStopppingBye

According to crypto twitter lol A 32 BTC sale is tiny relative to btcs daily trading volume.

thistimelineisweird

If they went IPO just to access money to buy BTC, I've got an exploding rocket to sell you.

Patient-Ordinary-359

The same way Not at all the same. Not remotely the same. Fundamentals eventually matter because earnings exist. Your BTC or any crypto give you no claim on any income. Some defi tokens do, then it's more valid valid. But show me how to value any crypto without resorting to scarcity and network effects, which is no better than horoscopes.

jawni

you want to know what a BTC address would give access to? bro i'm not answering your dumbass questions anymore, go find an LLM or if you want me to keep entertaining whatever it is you're doing, you can send me some of the crypto that you seem to think is worthless but I'm not wasting my time with this for free anymore.

Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1u419f9/are_cbdcs_quietly_becoming_the_biggest_macro/ China quietly piloting a full-retail e-CNY at scale while the EU locks in its digital euro framework and Brazil moves toward a 2025 Drex rollout is probably the most important “crypto” story no one in crypto wants to talk about. If you zoom out, the direction of travel is obvious. According to the Atlantic Council tracker, nearly every major central bank is beyond the “research” phase, with China, the Bahamas, Nigeria, and the Eastern Caribbean already live, Brazil and India running serious pilots, and the ECB now in the legislative weeds. The Fed is still publicly cautious, but you don’t get an ongoing website, regular policy papers, and Congressional research notes without a long-term plan. At the multilateral level, the IMF and BIS are openly treating CBDCs and “non-bank private monies” as a new layer of the system, not a sideshow. This isn’t about replacing Visa; it’s about making state money programmable, traceable, and directly distributed. For Bitcoin and crypto, I don’t see CBDCs as direct competitors so much as regime clarifiers. A world where governments can tighten financial conditions and enforce capital controls at the wallet level is a world where a censorship-resistant, non-sovereign asset has a clear use case. At the same time, CBDCs plus fiscal deficits plus ongoing financial repression are a tailwind for “hard” assets in general — gold, BTC, even quality equities. The institutional pivot we’ve seen in the US (ETFs, corporates putting BTC on balance sheets, Coinbase becoming the “clean” on-ramp) fits neatly with a slow shift away from unbacked EMFX and a gradual, messy de-dollarization at the margin. Personally, I’m positioning as if CBDCs are inevitable in some form. With CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger and I use Coinbase for regulated exposure and fiat ramps because it’s the most compliant US ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is actually sizing CBDC risk: are you changing your BTC/ETH allocation, adding more privacy-focused assets, or just assuming this will be slow and muddled like most policy shifts?

Because I'm agnostic about crypto. Believe it or not I bought in the $300s and paid my kids' tuition. But I don't believe in the BTC thesis; I only saw an opportunity to arbitrage irrationality.

Billkr

If I needed to wash some coins I would send my coins on-chain to my Phoenix wallet. I use this wallet for trivial spending cash. It supports Bitcoin and Lightning without having to run your own lightning node. Then I would go to [boltz.exchange/swap](http://boltz.exchange/swap) and create a swap from lightning network to my 'clean wallet' bitcoin address. That will create a lightning invoice that you can pay with Phoenix wallet through the lightning network. This will cost you BTC transfer fees as well as the boltz transfer fees. You have now moved BTC through lightning without having to have any lightning knowledge or node. This is not the most efficient. It is the easiest way without doing coinjoin with wasabi wallet.

I'm also currently at the BTC Prague. Lot of mining services but haven't talked to any of them yet. Have you seen any service that is innovative? I run about 240TH solo on CK-Pool.

The more price goes down against dollars, the more Bitcoin you get. You literally get double the amount of BTC now compared to buying at all time high. Setting automatic buys is a good way to go because it just takes all emotion out of the equation. Then just set some limit orders for any brief deep dips if you want to make some bigger buys at steep discounts.

Because it will dump even harder for the next 3 months, then you can buy BTC

its not there yet. in the coming years, ETH, HBAR, XMR, and BTC are different types of coins that do very different things. Right now even though these are, technology wise, very different coins, pricewise they are very correlated in that they are generally following BTC. The bear market is determined by BTC. The bull market you can have different performance levels for all alts, even different performance levels (but all bad) during the bear market as well.

Ive seen the cycles and lived the exhilaration of surges and the deflating feeling of the crashes, and I know these cycles and I expect them - but I dont pretend to understand them or predict them - so I also do not trade. I simply am happy to focus on how much BTC I have and I look at that potential - knowing that fiat number last ATH gives me home, I know it will be more next time. But I am aoso getting too old for this - quite frankly I am living quite lean and ready to retire and wish I had some money giving me income, and soon I will need to exit some of my BTC or come up with a strategy for realizing some of this asset without all the angst of timing it all right. Thats a really weird thing about money - the more you have the more you have to worry about. How Ironic.
