I agree even if it doesn’t have any BTC left on it my family still wants to see all the old photos of our grandparents on it before they passed away

We have no idea what site or app we even had the BTC on so getting into the laptop is the least difficult issue

XMR up 4x since last 2.5 years thx, If it continues like this, XMR will overtake SOL when BTC will be around 40k.

Not for me. BTC, USDT, Monero is way better. I havent used Cash for those kinds of things in a very long time.

Phobosion

I wouldn't "throw" money at Bitcoin. However I do continue to expand my BTC holdings on a regular basis, aswell as other less volatile ETFs that also provide steady growth that doesn't keep me checking the value of BTC everyday.

Trump pumped BTC because that's where his bribe money came from. It pumped as soon as he tweeted " buy crypto " on his 100k/mo private feed. Now that the mid terms are over, I expect BTC to go back to low 60's high 50's again. Maybe lower.

Njhuang86

Absolutely! The entire market crashing is not an indictment on BTC. No need to act as if BTC is that far off 80K. The current 73K is only one gap up back to the 80K floor!

BTC's performance this year sure has sucked!

it would be really cool if 1 BTC ≈ $1M eventually

Buy/hold the amount of BTC you are going to keep forever. Don't use it to get rich in USD. USD is going to die in the next 25 years.

*People always point out “Bitcoin isn’t growing much” during low points, bear markets or after sell offs.* I mean, low points, bear markets, and after selloffs is like 75% of the time with bitcoin... I don't think it's disingenuous at all to point out that bitcoin is exactly where is was 2 years ago (with a lot of volatility), and that when it peaked 5 years ago, it was nearly at the same point. It would take a lack of self reflection to ignore that other basic investments (Nasdaq, S&P, fucking *treasuries)* have outperformed in these time frames. BTC has stagnated, and only the future will tell if the market agrees with most of us that it's undervalued. But right now, it's just boring dogshit.

Woulda coulda shoulda is something I tell myself constantly. Was reading about BTC in 2009, but didn't touch my 1st coin until 2020. Missed so many investment opportunities in a dozen things. What I learned is that there are constantly opportunities if you pay attention.

You're honestly better off trading BTC against Eth in a arbitrage bot. Generates sats so it's the same thing as mining. Just without the electricity costs

Btc is worth and very good, but the only issue is who accumulated it...Musk ,USA, china and other big accumulatar...so if anyone want to sell their holdings and then it's nose dive..that's why its so sensitive that with any current world scenario it's fluctuated even with USA inflation data...so it's not world currency as already accompalated by riches..i trust BTC ..but it driven by few people...

If you want a product that feels like a securities-backed line of credit (SBLOC) rather than a rigid 30-year monthly mortgage, true "crypto mortgages" like Milo usually still require monthly payments or heavy structuring. What most people actually do is take an institutional or private collateralized loan against their BTC/ETH (like Ledn’s bullet-style loans, where you pay interest + principal at the end, or custom credit facilities) and use the cash proceeds to buy the property outright or cover the down payment. If you have decent size, check out AlphaGrowth. Beyond on-chain analytics, they work directly with institutional partners and private lending desks to structure bespoke crypto-backed credit lines. That way, you can negotiate flexible repayment terms and conservative LTVs tailored to a property buy without dealing with retail liquidation traps.

Financial-Housing-45

OP, your father may be telling the truth. It was common for some in 2010-2011 to be paid in BTC for some freelancing gigs. You’d take those stuff, store it somewhere, boring and tedious, and forget it. Now, yeah, he probably remembers the value of the gig back then. 300-500 usd. In oct 2011 BTC dropped to 2 usd. In July was about 7 usd if I am not mistaken. It was a bumpy year. Keep searching OP.

F0rtysxity

If you have not read up on Bitcoin and it is a ‘trade’ for you then I believe you will lose conviction and sell when it dips. Buy high and sell low. That’s not good. The best advice would be to treat it as part of a diversified portfolio and put 5% in BTC and 5% in gold and 90% in VT (world index).

cryptokeyhole

Not wrong. BlackRock isn't trading it, it just takes a fee for holding the coins. Those only move when shares are created for people buying in or redeemed for people cashing out, so the selling and buying in the title is IBIT's investors as a group. Being under water means the coins behind their shares cost more on average than they're worth now. That's widened since the post: Friday's file made it six straight days of outflows, nearly 19,000 BTC since 30 Oct, and at $73,800 the gap is about 9%.

TenderLA

BTC goes down, BTC goes up. If you’re not a trader just buy and hold. It’s a long term investment.

Post is by: ChartChampions and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarketOutlook/comments/1xsohhd/btc_is_sitting_at_major_support_but_the_market/ Bitcoin is currently sitting at a very important higher-timeframe support: the **uptrend anchored VWAP from the June lows.** But is this support enough to reverse the current bearish trend? Let's look at the price action. **BTC continues to print lower highs and lower lows across multiple timeframes**, from the 30-minute chart all the way up to the daily and weekly. This is a significant sign of weakness that we cannot ignore. Despite reaching a major support, Bitcoin has only managed a bounce of around 2%. Even on the 30-minute timeframe, buyers are struggling to establish new higher highs. **The key level we're watching is $76K.** As long as Bitcoin remains below this resistance, the bearish market structure stays intact, and further downside remains the more likely scenario. So, what setups are we looking for?  Locally, we'd look for a **sweep of the current lows or the previous week's low**, followed by a strong reaction. However, this would be a countertrend trade, potentially a day trade or even a scalp. That means taking profits aggressively and keeping trade management tight rather than expecting a major reversal. **And what if the current support fails?** Our next area of interest sits below $63K, with the possibility of even deeper levels if selling pressure continues. For now, we're setting alerts and letting the price action tell us what comes next. There's no reason to rush into a position while the market structure remains weak. Do you expect a bounce from the current anchored VWAP, or do you think BTC needs to move lower before demand strengthens? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

We just need one of those days where BTC is down 28% and alts are down 40-60% each so we can get this over with. Way better than this chop

wolfwood43

Could get very ugly for BTC if we fall below $73k. Next resistance from there is \~$67k

Romanizer

They could but if your holding is ideological like that of Satoshi, you would rather send the whole wallet to miners than let the thief get away with it. They could pay a fee of 51 BTC by supplying additional Bitcoin, but would come out with a loss.

Top-Connection-5455

I was at a house party with this guy, he seems pretty cool, but the pain of trying to recover the BTC...

djrion

First off, a BTC only portfolio would be really idiotic. Diversification is key and crypto should be no more than 1 to 5% of your net worth as a highly risky asset. That said, buy and store for future leverage is the ticket.

growin60sec

Consolidation after a big drop usually means nobody knows the timing, so I would plan around your own horizon instead of guessing when. If you can hold for years, doing nothing is a valid plan. If a further drop would force you to sell, trim now while you can think clearly. And I would not trade ETH just because BTC is boring, chop like this is where leverage and overtrading eat people alive.

growin60sec

Part of it is habit from past cycles, but the setup is different now. A lot of the new money comes through ETFs and mostly sits in BTC, so it does not rotate down the risk curve the way exchange inflows used to. Dominance can also fall just because BTC drops, which is not an alt season at all. I agree with the ETH/BTC point above. Until ETH starts outperforming and stablecoin supply is actually growing, I treat alt rallies as trades, not a season.

bananabastard

OP used market top vs market bottom as evidence for whether BTC is a profitable investment. I didn't cherry-pick dates, I basically said to use any other date besides their cherry-picked dates.

Alexander-305

Because the last few cycles trained people to expect it. But the mechanism was never "dominance gets high, then rotates." It was a BTC run strong enough to pull in new money, and that new money went looking for higher beta. Without fresh inflows, dominance near 60% mostly means alts are bleeding against BTC, not coiling up. What I'd watch instead of the dominance number itself: - ETH/BTC. Alts rarely get a real season while ETH keeps lagging, and today ETH is down about 2% on the day versus roughly 1% for BTC. - Stablecoin supply growth. Rotation needs dry powder coming in, not the same money moving around. - Whether alt rallies hold after funding resets. A lot of recent alt pumps have been leverage-driven squeezes that fade once longs pile in and funding turns positive. Not saying it can't happen, just that "it always follows" comes from cycles with very different liquidity. Until those start lining up, I'd treat alt pumps as trades, not the start of a season.

Adorable_Quantity875

BTC es un activo q está madurando y su rendimiento ya no es tanto. Diversifica a largo plazo en lo de siempre. Las 7 magníficas, gld, spy y acciones con dividendos. La única forma de ganarle al largo plazo es creando habilidades de trading q superen por mucho a la inflación.

Capt-Kowalski

It was a curious situation, actually, because the drivers behind BTC and stocks were different. On BTCUSDT it appears that a big entity had been running a short accumulation bout for a couple days before the elections. After the mini rally hit the stocks after dems wiping the floor with resps, there was a spillover effect on the btc too, that caused the price to run into short stops of the traders betting on a downward sentiment. That mini rally in turn left a bunch of long stops behind that got wiped out next day when the operator brought the price back into their original accumulation channel and continued absorption there. They were done accumulating by Sunday evening UTC time and sent the price lower to distribute. By the look of it, they continued to short accumulate yesterday at the new lower price, so I would expect the price to make lower lows this week because it was not looking like they were distributing very heavily yesterday. I haven’t seen the charts today yet, things may have changed, but so far I think the short bias is holding.

Not really. I'm going to explain further by using an example. I'm going to use address1 address2 address3 etc during this example instead of using actual bitcoin addresses like 1719H3AWMiM3G3eREmaNe9eCTqsyMBSnk9. Say I own 2 BTC and it's made up of 20 UTXOs that are split evenly among 20 addresses. That's 0.1 BTC at address1, 0.1 BTC at address2, 0.1 BTC at address3, 0.1 BTC at address4, 0.1 BTC at address5, 0.1 BTC at address6, 0.1 BTC at address7, 0.1 BTC at address8, 0.1 BTC at address9, 0.1 BTC at address10, 0.1 BTC at address11, 0.1 BTC at address12, 0.1 BTC at address13, 0.1 BTC at address14, 0.1 BTC at address15, 0.1 BTC at address16, 0.1 BTC at address17, 0.1 BTC at address18, 0.1 BTC at address19, and 0.1 BTC at address20. Now let's say I paid 0.09 BTC for my tax bill. I use the UTXO at address1 to pay my tax bill and receive the change back at address21. They won't know anything about address2, address3, address4, address5, address6, address7, address8, address9, address10, address11, address12, address13, address14, address15, address16, address17, address18, address19, or address20.

Let it drop, the lower the better, we are a month away from the beginning of the peak accumulation period before the next halving. Everyone should be hoping for a fire sale. BTC is going to have a new ATH, and its a when, not an if.

I too once held about 100BTC and it got stolen. Not even due to a fault of my own. Didn't bother with crypto since. There are zero checks and balances. There's no one to call. Pretty sure every BTC out there must have been stolen at least once. The concept of anonymous irreversible transactions are weaknesses not strengths.

trowawayatwork

thanks Mr investment professional lol what if BTC itself was overinflated and was just correcting? I don't see BTC needing to react directly to inflation numbers. that doesn't make sense, and there's no mechanism for it to work like that. use that investment professional brain to make a simple deduction and take it or leave it. Can bitcoin be printed into oblivion like a normal government controlled currency? If yes, you don't buy it, if no it seems plausible it's an inflation hedge

Quirky-Reveal-1669

Fixed amount in BTC, or a USD-amount equivalent at the current rate?

MarioWilson122

You never really know for certain. Sometimes everyone thinks the news is priced in, and BTC ends up pumping anyway. Of course, with the current administration, those surprise pumps haven't seemed to happen as often. I'd take anyone claiming to know exactly how the market will react with a grain of salt.

JuxtaposeLife

>Data can demonstrate that few old UTXOs were spent. But it does not demonstrate their owners consciously decided to hold supply during market downturns. Actions are more important than intent. What matters, is what correlations exist between modeled activity, and actual price action. Most who dive into on-chain analytics start with the questions you're raising, and then look for correlations that come true when followed forward. The hard part is not cherry picking your backtesting, and being objective in the patterns you see until it's proven in real time and forward. The same way hedge funds and their quants connect Level 2 or 3 data for price movement in markets (then wall of that data to the general public, to protect a signal that helps them). You don't have to know every retail trader is capitulating on a market dump, to know that if you cause one, most of them will. In much the same way, I don't have to know that 1 in 100 BTC moved yesterday was consolidation and not a sale, to know that when volume picks up for a given cohort... it signals something that happens time and time again.

I said post 2019, working from memory. 2021-mid 2022, now that I punch it up. From 02/28/2021 to 6/30/2022 US CPI rose from 1.7% (1.3% core) to 9% (5.9% core). Over the same period BTC lost 59.5% in value. This is the only serious move in inflation that has happened in the time BTC has been a liquid financial instrument. From this I conclude that BTC does not appear to be a reliable inflation hedge. US equities, measured by the S&P500, returned +1.4% over the same period. I'm a career investment professional here, trying to make sense of crypto instruments. No real opinion other than that I check a lot of what I see and read against facts and come up empty.

HODLing is deferred consumption to reach a goal, or the ultimate exit strategy where a hodler waits until it gets universally accepted as a direct medium of exchange. But just like with fiat, if you're HODLing *forever*, then it's the same as not having any coins to begin with yeah. If you meant those, then yeah you're right and their holdings are indistinguishable from lost coins. But HODLing does not imply to hodl forever, the latter is a subset of the former. Having said that though, I suppose one could borrow against one's BTC and live off of that, never paying off the outstanding debt as long as the collateral value rises. But in this case, the collateral BTC is either the same as lost coins (if the debt actually never catches up with the appreciation), or the debt will eventually catch up, forcing liquidation of collateral, thus making use of the coins. In the former case it's the same a lost coins (i.e. they will never move), in the latter it's HODLed coins that will eventually be used.

KipishGrid

I agree that Bitcoin’s biggest opportunity may still be ahead. The more people understand scarcity, self-custody and financial independence, the more relevant BTC could become. Adoption takes time, but the long-term potential is hard to ignore. The key is having the conviction and patience to see it through. 🚀

A good mutual fund can see 10-12% annualized over the past 10 years. Properly & slowly moved to a Roth after you retire can minimize the tax burden. I use stocks/bonds/HYSA & BTC to stay diversified and basically HODL all of them.

Snackyums

You think people investing in AI stocks get out and decide to put it in BTC instead?

Avanchnzel

I was mostly joking, but yeah lost coins necessarily decrease supply, which theoretically increases the value of the remaining coins. There's a lot more details though that make this not as straightforward. For one it's pretty much impossible to identify which wallets are truly lost or just have very patient owners. As more coins look permanently lost, the market adjusts its perceived available supply upward. But if a massive dormant wallet suddenly moves coins, it can trigger temporary market panic and price drops. You saying your BTC shall be inaccessible once your mind is gone is a guarantee though that those coins will be lost. And thus it definitely increases the scarcity. So no matter how small that increase is, every little bit helps. 😁

growin60sec

For a few hundred bucks on a major pair, I've found the headline quote matters less than the timing — exactly what you ran into. Floating is basically the market price at confirmation, so if BTC moves while you're waiting on confirmations, that 'better' quote evaporates. Fixed is locked when you create the swap, but only if you send within the time window it gives you — send late and it can expire or get recalculated, so that's the catch. In practice I use fixed when the network is busy or price is moving, floating when it's calm and I'm sending fast, and I compare what actually lands after fees rather than the rate on screen.

Post is by: Nick_BitOK and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1xs32yv/someone_just_dropped_bitcoin_by_2000_in_10/ On Sunday, when the order books were basically empty, someone dumped millions of dollars worth of BTC and ETH in seconds. BTC broke support at $75,500 and instantly crashed to $73,500. Result — almost $1B in liquidations, and the weekly candle closed below the 50-week MA for the first time in two months. A lot of people considered that level the line between bull and bear market. The worst part is this isn’t the first time. These Sunday thin-liquidity dumps keep happening, and they always end the same way — retail with leverage getting wiped. Looks a lot like manipulation. The Clarity Act could actually prevent this shit in the future. If it passes, one big player wouldn’t be able to just extract billions from the crowd once a month. What next. If bulls push the price back above the 50-week MA this week — it was just a fakeout for panic. If not — some analysts aren’t ruling out a move down to $60k. Fear & Greed already dropped below 30, market is on the edge of extreme fear.

BTC might never go above $75k again. 😳

Not buying enough BTC in 2013

BTC 35k! 😁💪

Let me rephrase what I said so you maybe understand me: if you DCA'd into BTC from 5 years ago until this point, you legit will have been worse off than doing the same in gold or an all-world ETF (and like someone else said, literally in US treasury bills too). No shit buying from the bottom gives you the best gains, as if most people can time the bottom perfectly. This means, from an investor who just wants to DCA monthly, the "BTC is a good asset to DCA" thesis is hanging by a thread. But as I said before, I'm not changing my strategy just yet.

Bias stays down while BTC trades under 74,931, where our Hunter Killer liquidation heatmap shows about $166M in shorts. Right underneath, roughly $191M in longs sits near 74,706, and the bigger long pool is about $468M near 72,540. A reclaim and hold above 74,931 proves this lean wrong, with the next large short pool around 76,616 holding about $304M. Not advice.

Sounds like a solid way to think about it. I got curious and ran your plan through my simulator: 2 BTC, spending from January 2030 and lasting 30 years, rising with inflation. Just the bitcoin half, not your other investments: Conservative path: about $900 a month (bitcoin doesn't reach 250k by 2030 on this one) Baseline: about $2,500 a month Saylor's path: about $7,000 a month Those are in 2030 dollars. Here's the Baseline version if you want to play around with it, switch paths or change the amounts: [https://bitcoinlifespan.com/?btcUnits=2&income=2500&scenario=baseline&simPeriod=396&hodlUntil=2030-01-01](https://bitcoinlifespan.com/?btcUnits=2&income=2500&scenario=baseline&simPeriod=396&hodlUntil=2030-01-01) Good luck with it!

I have completely migrated my holdings to wallets that don’t use seed phrases. Seed phrases are completely insecure. I don’t care what anyone says. I have assets split across Tangem and MPC wallets such as Vultisig and Zengo.  I am comfortable keeping multiple BTC on any one of these platforms.  And this is a very unpopular opinion but hear me out. At this point the iPhone is the most secure device to generate a seed phrase.  iPhone entropy has been audited for years. Cold card has proved that hardware wallets are vulnerable. Ledger and Trezor have suffered supply chain hacks. I would not personally do this myself, but if I had to use a seed phrase I would personally just use Coinbase wallet on my phone. You can’t argue against this. Cold card was supposed to be the best but it is really just like 2 dudes in their garage. Apple iOS is trusted by the entire world and audited very heavily. I would bet my wealth to an apple device running a reputable software wallet such as Coinbase or exodus or blue wallet if you’re only in BTC, over any hardware wallet that generates seed phrases at this point.  Now I don’t have much advice on the 5 dollar wrench attack. I’ve been struggling with that one for years.
