BTC

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin adoption has surged in 2025 despite a 50% price drop from its all-time high, according to River. Institutions, banks, merchants, public companies, and nation-states have increasingly embraced Bitcoin. Institutions accumulated 829,000 BTC, while merchant adoption tripled in the U.S. and global usage grew by 74%. Five new nation-states acquired Bitcoin, and the Lightning Network's transaction volume reached $1.1 billion monthly. Bitcoin's volatility is declining, signaling its maturity as an asset class. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

It’s not just about “being richer than most people.” With a fixed supply of only 21 million coins, owning 1 BTC puts someone in a very small global percentage of holders. That alone is rare. Financially, it could mean: • A strong long-term asset • More financial flexibility • Potential hedge against inflation • Increased confidence in future upside But true wealth still depends on income, skills, and smart decisions — not just holding one coin. The real question is: would they hold through volatility… or sell at the first big dip?

LibertyWithLiquidity

If it does, we'll go down another 50% from here. Can you imagine $30k BTC again? I can't. But then again: Bitcoin does the thing you LEAST expect.

piggleii

Just a thought: You can't claim prices are manipulated, and not believe we'll another bull market eventually. At least for BTC.

Joy_Boy_12

1 BTC might reach 1M at some point and even with that price that won't be enough to retire 

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

Honestly for me it would mostly be psychological. It would feel like a solid chunk of long term savings that I can just sit on and not overthink. I don’t really frame it as “richer than other people” though. Net worth is relative to where you live and your expenses. One BTC could be life changing for some and just a small allocation for others. I try to think more in terms of financial flexibility. Would it give me more options down the road? That’s what matters more to me than the status aspect.

Glittering_Fact5556

I’ve found the streak matters less than consistency, the key term is allocation, not the absolute amount of BTC you’re getting each week. A practical step is tying your DCA to a percentage of income so it scales over time instead of feeling “too small” if price rises. One caveat is fees and custody setup can eat into small buys, especially if network congestion spikes.

Pure-Building-7162

He likes BTC

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

I’m not super strict about it, but I’ve been consistently adding small amounts for a while now. Nothing huge, just something I won’t stress about if price swings 20 percent in either direction. I get the mental hurdle about buying tiny fractions in the future, but I try to think in terms of percentage of my income rather than how much BTC it buys. If price is that high, it probably means adoption is way further along anyway. Do you see yourself sticking to the fixed $100 no matter what, or adjusting it as your income changes?

Crypto_tipper

I had been buying weekly for years. Same day. Usually same amount. God it puts me at ease not trying to time shit. Just put it away and leave it alone. Right now it feels very similar to when it sat around 16k for months. 2 mil ppl buying an avg of $100 per week would buy up the entire week’s newly mined BTC at current prices. Increase the ppl to 50 mil and it’s $4.10 each per week. There are currently 8.3 billion ppl on the planet. Think about that.

Damythian

Compare the evoloution of gold with the evolution of BTC and you will find that BTC is not the prefered store of value some claim it is. It's market cap is just the manifestation of millions of people dream of making it big. There are many, many grifter that make a living feeding that dream. There are no fundamentals. The fact that the measure of BTC value is expressed in USD should tell people everything. Yet it doesn't, because the dream of making it big while doing nothing is more prevailing. Look, I get it. I have the same dreams. But I have achieved them through "classical" investing and it saddens me that people yolo BTC because I see a very high probability that all those dreams will be killed.

Ok-Meaning-7061

it comes from experience . BTC is the one you need . the other stuff is greed calling you ...

appletart40

Times like right now where we've had a dip for several months. There's no dividends with BTC, so it's not like you're missing out on those when you sit out periods when others DCA. I'm not advocating for trying to find the exact minimum of the dip, but I will lump sum into BTC when it has dropped for several months.

West-Acanthisitta314

1 BTC is cool but definitely not life changing. It’s rough out here these days.

liam-d-carlos

BTC might be the only crypto that doesn’t need a narrative to survive. It doesn’t promise upgrades, new roadmaps or ecosystem growth, it just keeps existing. Most alts need constant development momentum to justify their price. BTC only needs time. That’s a very different kind of asset.

Sos418_tw

Just DCA BTC

Pingon25

If I had a BTC for every time I heard that statement…

watch-nerd

That's great. But BTC is only 4% of my liquid port. A rounding error. It's just a silly game compared to real wealth creators.

ozera202

BTC created in 2008 and it’s been 18 years …. Just because it has not been adopted doesn’t mean we are early., it means the mass don’t give a fuck about BTC .

watch-nerd

With an average BTC price of $46k, my crypto endeavors are fat and happy.

anon-187101

No, I'm not - having 1 BTC in self-custody does not have the same risk/return profile as having $64,000 sitting in bank custody.

mshriver2

I was mining 0.08 BTC per day in 2014 with an asic. Sold it all for cash each day as I was "profiting from mining".

watch-nerd

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Price is what dictates real value. Econ 101. If nobody wants BTC, it doesn't matter what the hash value is.

Ambitious-Border1222

So what can I get with 1 BTC that I can’t get with 64k?

ernie-jo

Owning 1 BTC would allow me to sell now for $65k, then buy half a bitcoin when it goes up to $130k. Then I'd only be $65k away from owning 1 BTC. which is a lot farther than I am now.

iownreddit0690

JayDigi

Streak of 147 days of daily DCA so far. Plan is to continue until early retirement in 12 years. Started at $10 daily when BTC got under $100k. Increasing DCA amount by $10 every $10k drop. Currently at $40 a day.

Rare_Rich6713

Yeah normally you can’t stake BTC directly since it’s not a PoS chain. What I’m referring to is stuff like Babylon they’re building a model where BTC can be used to secure PoS chains without you wrapping it or sending it to some centralized lender. The idea is you lock your BTC and it contributes economic security, and you earn from that.

CaffeineComaMode

Most crypto cards feel cool at first, then you realize the utility is limited or rewards get nerfed. I went through a few before settling on Nexo's card. The difference for me is flexibility - I can spend without selling my BTC, or use credit mode and keep exposure while borrowing at low rates. Feels more like real financial planning than a gimmick.

Rare_Rich6713

I just think if I’m taking risk in this space anyway, BTC is the one with the highest probability of still being here and relevant 5–10 years from now. I'm holding long term and staking that's it.

cheese20202

This comments so funny I can't. It's going to go back to its original price of $62k, already starting to drop 😂. All the fake hope of seeing green is hilarious as BTC always does this

Rare_Rich6713

I know it sounds weird because BTC wasn’t built with native staking like PoS chains. But there are mechanisms like babylon now that let you earn on BTC without wrapping or bridge. I’m not saying it’s risk-free, just that it feels more aligned with holding long term than rotating into alts.

Vannevar_VanGossamer

Ten or fifteen years from now, regular people will be clamoring about owning even 0.01 BTC. People do not think exponentially. Bitcoin will be far, far, far more difficult to accumulate in the future. Teenagers might brag about owning 50,000 sats.

spirax919

We are SO fucking early man Bitcoin is barely even used as a currency right now. Imagine the price when the ENTIRE WORLD adopts BTC as the currency to use for all transactions and FIAT doesnt even exist anymore.

CaffeineComaMode

If you want something best for risk-adjusted upside, I would start by separating networks from business-model tokens. Most gems die because they have no real demand sink. One token I keep an eye on in the second category is $NEXO because it is tied to an actual lending/wealth platform with recurring user activity (borrow, earn, spend). If platform usage expands, token demand tends to follow. Still higher risk than BTC/ETH, but at least the thesis is anchored in utility, not vibes.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

I'm DCAing on the 15th of every month all the way down to 30-40k, and then back up to 126k. I'll decide if I wanna take a break at that time while BTC continues to 250k.

Faster_than_FTL

Sorry don't understand. How does govt printing money and devaluing the dollar make BTC more valuable?

You need a reliable wallet to reserve your BTC, maybe you can try Anybit

Easymacsauce

I agree BTC price does go up and down.

pablodfc_

Volatility is still high, i like trading BTC and almost everyday there's a big movement in price. 2 hours ago we just had a spike from 64k to 66k in 15 minutes. Yesterday we had a big drop from 65.7k to 64.8k in 3 hours. Maybe not the volatility you want, but the volatility is there.

pablodfc_

BTC spikes almost everyday, I trade it a lot, and almost everyday near midday or midnight (sometimes both) it spikes up or down. It happens because during those hours lots of people are online, so there's lots of trading volume pushing prices up or down. A Spike between 2pm to 6pm is more likely to have a deeper reason, besides that its just trading volume.

Gonzothis

Rock on BTC

ChocoChipsTish

Buying more BTC during fear. History shows these dips often turn into the next leg up, so I’m not selling a single sat. I’ve just been adding on BingX, security’s felt solid, withdrawals smooth, and BTC depth has held up well even when markets get shaky.

Easymacsauce

I have a feeling the spike may of been from the SOTU incase old Donald mentions BTC. Guess we’ll find out if the price drops after if he doesn’t.

dylanbeck

Its expensive. BTC doesnt make sense above 10K.

InterestUsed7978

I might be wrong but isn’t the difference that they’re basically tying the company to BTC itself? Like normal treasuries hold a mix of stuff, but this feels closer to running a leveraged Bitcoin fund. I get why people are bullish if BTC keeps going up, but it also kinda explains why some think it’s risky.

Ace2021

Any BTC in 5 digits is a blessing, take it as such. My philosophy.

Zealousideal_Rain_79

I won’t if I know when the bottom hits! BTC cycle for the win.

brkinard

Just like all the BTC that Satoshi mined in his basement in private.

CipherScarlatti

Line went up. People who thought line would go down are now unhappy about this because they bet that line would go down further and they are obligated for selling Bitcoin they did not down under the assumption they could make money from line going down. Example: Sell 1 BTC now at let's say 65. BTC continues to go down to 60 when they have to buy the BTC they sold to replace the one they sold earlier. Profit 5.

It’s a good time to start building positions in BTC and ETH, but the bottom could still be way lower. Definitely don’t go all in right now.

Bought the dip today. £5k across ETH and BTC

platinumarks

Pretty much. You rent spare capacity from the company's network of mining hardware, you pay based on hashrate and time, and then you tell it which mining pool to use during the rented time. There are solo pools that basically distribute large amounts of hashing tasks to each user, and if you find the block, you get to keep the BTC (minus a small fee to the pool operator for the infrastructure to assign tasks, which makes it a lot easier than manually setting it up).

Stagnant-Flow

If I owned 1BTC my wife would take me back, my kids would start to love me, everyone at my job would think I’m cool, my boss would give me a raise, I’d have lots of fulfilling friendships and my cancer would go away.

Yes that’s BTC

Subject-Chest-8343

Lol. Deeper drawdowns alright, but less upside ? Have you compared both over the last 10 years ? >So, I think you want to actually time better your entries in BTC Have you even read my post ? Nasdaq is at all-time highs, while bitcoin is at rock bottom prices, if past cycles are any indication. Which of the two is a better entry point ? Ever heard of ''buy low, sell high'' ? You sound more like ''buy super high, try to sell even higher''

NonVideBunt

It makes me so happy to see all the BTC maxis post these insecurity posts … hoping to ditch that shred of doubt. 😂

EeeeJay

And the current monetary and banking system runs without any electricity or emissions, does it?  How quickly people forget the financial crisis of 2008 (and others prior), and don't put 2 and 2 together to realise that BTC and blockchain would solve this.

Sos418_tw

Stacking BTC is definitely the sleep well at night strategy.

SurroundAccording535

Negative skew implies capped upside with outsized losses. BTC's upside distribution has historically dwarfed the drawdowns. Fidelity measured a Sortino nearly 2x its Sharpe, meaning most volatility was to the upside. That's the opposite of negative skew.

azblazer007

BTC only. Anything else not the time if ever. To many lessons learned

Numerous_Ruin_4947

In previous cycles, Bitcoin dominance fell by 52% and 30% over roughly one year. The current BTC.D chart is showing a similar tapering pattern. If this continues, BTC.D could drop around 28% in 2026, from about 58% to roughly 30%. That scenario would likely come with a rise in ETH dominance. This cycle could always diverge from the past, but the setup on the chart is hard to ignore.

Other than the obvious $BTC and $ETH, there is $SOL, $RENDER, $TAO and $DOGE

Sharp-Perception5658

Well good call for sure. I have been hodling BTC since 2015. I have been studying BTC technicals for over 10 years and I'm still trying to understand what happened this cycle. It's different than any cycle I've ever seen..In my opinion, BTC shouldn't have crashed when it did. It was way too early. We should have had a climactic run just like every cycle before. It should have easily hit $300k based on historical movements. We had a halfing and BTC didn't even move this time. This was the worst most muted cycle I've ever seen. I'm still trying to understand what happened.

OpticallyMosache

I had a buy order for 4 BTC that got filled at 320,000 MAD!!!

Sharp-Perception5658

I'm getting to the point where I do need it. Times are getting tough. I'm not going to sell at these prices though. Right now, BTC is hovering around the previous cycles top. If it doesn't bounce from here, something is very wrong. BTC has never gone much lower than the previous cycles top. NEVER.

Sharp-Perception5658

Scam is a very overused word nowadays. It's not a scam. It's just leverage. MSTR has a solid strategy while BTC is rising. In a rising environment, everybody is winning.. However, during sustained bear markets, MSTR would need to service their loans. The only logical ways for them to do that is to issue more shares. This dilutes shareholder value. If you took out a loan right now and bought BTC and the BTC crashed, you'd still need to have money laying around to make payments on your loan and that money has got to come from somewhere. MSTR has a great strategy truly but BTC must always go higher for it to work...which I hope it does, but sadly there are no guarantees. There is something very broken this cycle...very broken...and I wish I understood it.

Sharp-Perception5658

Well, I'm not talking about MSTR. I'm talking about actual Bitcoin. The thing I don't understand is that it was always the goal for BTC to gain institutional adoption. Back in the day, BTC operated under the radar and fraud and theft were quite prevalent. It was hard just to store BTC. We never trusted the exchanges because there were all kinds of risks we weren't protected from. They could go belly up and run off with our BTC, they could get hacked, they could simply ban us from the exchange and our BTC would be trapped. We all longed for the day, BTC would be accepted by institutions and used on a more macro level because it would at least solve some of these issues. I remember how excited we were for an ETF to finally be released. We waited for years...and then it came. I feel safer holding BTC now than in the past. Institutional buying and gov acceptance will also create a larger user base. So what's the problem?

Alatarlhun

>The fact that BTC has already become pretty stagnant for the last half a decade, underperforming the S&P 500 over the same time period, is not a great sign. And the stagnation extends to the development side, too.

ThePugz

But it’s acting true. The detractors are permanent there’s no amount of evidence contrary to their opinion that would ever change their mind. So there’s no answer to the question for them. It will be at $1 million per BTC & they’ll still be saying it’s going to zero. 🤷🏽‍♂️

5_yr_lurker

I love how nothing negative can be said about BTC here. Maybe we reached the ATH already? I don't know. I keep my month DCA going but could still be wrong.

Serenaded

Ethereum these last few months is looking far more bullish long-term than Bitcoin is. Bitcoin has nuclear FUD with the quantum computing, I think it's basically over. We always knew Bitcoin was the first but won't be the last. Last cycle was weird with all the $$$ pumping into BTC but QC is going to fuck all of that. It's clear that elites are eyeing Ethereum as the next giga-pump.

I remember when people gave up when BTC went from 19k to 3.5k.  Now they complain about people who have money and say it's unfair.  A tale as old as time. 

Pure-Rent1574

A better way to say it in my opinion is that BTC will move from the weak hands to the strong hands.  “Poor people will sell what they have to rich and powerful” is reddit slop. Everyone on here hate rich people apparently, and it’s cringe.

Haha speaking of a hundred bucks worth. I sat down with my sister and showed her a purchase I made back then. I paid $150 bucks and got roughly 0.05 BTC lol and today that purchase is worth 20x. That’s what tipped it for my family lol they’re like we aint missing out no more.

lemons714

If you owned 1BTC you would have a volatile, speculative asset currently worth \~$70k. What it would do for you depends on the rest of your net worth and income. Where approximately $70k places you in economic rankings depends on the sample you compare it to.

slash_networkboy

Of course! And I'm also obviously on the back half of my career, not starting out fresh and broke. If we magically translated this to 24 year old me but with today's BTC prices and asked me this same question the answer would be "it'd be life changing for me. I could look at a down payment on a condo and at least build some equity or something instead of renting." (Today's house prices) or "put 40% down on a house." (if 24YO me's house prices)

kdizzle619

This is so incorrect, the price of BTC in 2021 never even broke $70,000. He's full of shit

It’s really not interesting at all. This has happened multiple times before and it will 100% get a new all-time high again. There’s no doubt in my mind or yours if you’re being honest so your comment is silly. This is not evidence of anything except another cycle. We’ve seen numerous times with BTC. And ALL the detractors are just like Charlie Brown attempting to kicking the football. You’re ALL back again to try to kick the football again. You never learn.

You can also use exodus. However you might need to send BTC or eth to your exodus wallet and then convert it to usdc on there and from there send the usdc to your ledn. Exodus is non-kyc so there’s nothing to report to the tax agencies
