BTC price has nothing to do with its success. It’s an exercise in human psychology and economics. Cryptocurrency has no value proposition. Why should I or anyone else not use FDIC insured banks? Why should any financial institution switch to cryptocurrency? Just like, why should I or anyone else switch from a DB to NFT for storing users’ digital items? You’re a smart person. Read what you just wrote 3 times out loud. It sounds ridiculous. No one cares about how you were configuring TCP/IP. Your comparing cryptocurrency to the Internet is outlandish. The Internet has value. It solves problems. There is unprecedented value in myself or others using it or moving existing systems to it. Same with cloud services. Cryptocurrency? Sounds like a cool thing for the sake of being a cool thing. It’s not the Internet. Get over yourself, and stop being an asshole to victims.

BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE for majors XMR, ZEC, MORPHO, SKY, RUJI for alts I also recommend 30% of portfolio in market making products like jlp or hlp. 

Kaspa would be my pick outside of BTC/ETH. The tech angle is what got me in: it’s a proof-of-work chain using a BlockDAG structure instead of a single blockchain, so it can process blocks in parallel rather than sequentially. That gives it way higher throughput than traditional PoW coins without giving up decentralization the way a lot of “fast chain” alt L1s do… I’ve been DCA-ing into it for a while now with a set exit plan rather than just holding blindly, since it’s still a small-cap and can be brutal in drawdowns. But for a 3-year hold, low market cap + real technical differentiation + still PoW (so it fits the “relatively low risk by crypto standards” framing) is the combo I’m betting on. *Not financial advice, obviously, just why it’s in my bag.*\*

TL;DR It’s a philosophical/ideological conflict between Bitcoiners. The BIP-110 folks (such as Matthew Kratter) believe BTC is digital money and should only be used as digital money. Save in it, Spend with it, and don’t fill up BTC transactions with digital spam (because I guess you can add images or messages to transactions somehow?) The original Bitcoin folks believe BTC should be completely free of censorship. It’s a decentralized monetary asset. Since BIP-110 aims to block certain unwanted transactions, they view BIP-110 as a form of censorship. And if BIP-110 folks can implement this form of censorship, then it’s a slippery slope to more weird governance. I personally believe BTC should be completely decentralized. But also, whatever happens, happens. BTC will always be dictated by the vast majority of miners. And the miners obviously don’t support BIP-110. Not sure if its the reasons I stated, but numbers don’t lie.

I don’t have kids, not blessed, but I get where you’re coming from as I’ve got good family, which includes nieces and nephews who I love. My dogs, along with my wife, are my family, but they’re dogs and I love them to bits, but they’re not kids. I don’t treat them as such. In dog terms, they have great lives. These people who treat dogs as kids don’t realise that dogs just want to be dogs, walking and running! If I had to choose between saving my dogs and individual members of my friends and family, I’d save the humans. However, I’ve done work where I’ve seen the worst of humanity, so anything outside the circle of my friends and family, I choose my dogs over any other humans. It might make me seem like a bad person but that’s what certain experiences in life do to you. But the BTC question, easy, I’d blue pill, as I’d still have my wife, met in 2009,  but we’d be doing a lot of good with the BTC money we’d have made from 2020 onwards. However, I’ve got a good BTC story. 2016, my wife come home from a night shift, saying an agency colleague spoke about saving in BTC and my wife asked what it was. Me, my ego/arrogance, knowing nothing about it, said it was mad Internet money. I didn’t really learn about bitcoin and what money really was until 2020. Hope this guy kept saving and is retired drinking cocktails on a beach somewhere!

So? It was 6 figures earlier. I'm even a BTC maximalist and have more BTC than USD, but I fear that seed management and irreversible transactions (in terms of mistakes or hacks) are difficult for the majority of people and that these will be a major contributor to why it may never go mainstream. You cite only the price but nothing else to back up your claim, whereas I can simply mention the thousands of forever lost wallets, the clogging of the blockchain with dust [that The Cat nobly tried to propose an aggressive solution to deal with](https://x.com/ostrom72158) that was shot down, so now we're stuck dealing with worthless UTXOs causing needless congestion. You seem to think I'm an anti-crypto idiot or something, but were you even aware of these things? I'm not against BTC; I *fear* for BTC. I *want* it to go mainstream but I'm concerned that may be too technical and absolute/no-mercy-for-mistakes in the nature of its transactions for the masses.

The "100 BTC" message may refer to the recent coldcard hack rather than a burn, though a lot more was taken over the course of the last week or two. People have burned well over 100 BTC of course. That address alone has burned over 800 BTC. Most of it was burned back when it was worth considerably less though. The weird "**X2[**" OP_RETURN messages seem to be related to some kind of "sidechain" I'm not familiar with: https://medium.com/rootstock-tech-blog/a-review-of-the-stacks-blockchain-from-a-rsk-perspective-9e3361970f34 > If you want to explore addresses from a Bitcoin blockchain explorer, Stacks’ Block producers create ordinary bitcoin transactions where the first output contains an OP_RETURN opcode followed by a push of data starting with “**X2[**” for Stacks 2.0.

BTC's sitting at a level I've been watching for months. Move off the 2022 low has been one long methodical climb, real corrections, real consolidation, not the parabolic chaos people expect. Every time price has come back to test old resistance turned support it's held, and it's testing that same kind of level again right now. What actually has my attention isnt the chart though, its the disconnect between price action and how bearish sentiment's gotten. Momentum on the way down hasnt matched the actual selling, which usually means the move down is running out of people willing to keep pushing it, not that somethings structurally broken. Not calling a bottom. Just looks a lot like the other times this thing built a base quietly before doing what it eventually does.

I'm far from an expert, but why have *only* your wife sell? You each get a £3K CGT allowance, and if you have a lower salary, you'd only pay 18% CGT on the rest. I'm an idiot when it comes to tax, but what if you transfer maybe 22K of BTC to her to sell, and maybe you sell 30K yourself instead of her selling *all* 52K? E.g.: She pays 24% on 19K (22K-3K) = £4,560 You pay 18% on 27K (30K-3K) = £4,860 You each dump 20K into an ISA, tax-free (or shuffle it around and use a SIPP if you prefer). You could even use the ETNs in an IFISA. I'm sure there's some nuance for the figures, and there'll be a sweet spot to totally minimise tax, but there's got to be a better option than 24% of 49K (52K-3K) = £11,760

Depends on your goal, here's what I'd recommend after 6+ years working FT and investing in the crypto industry. \- safer and long term holds: go with the big names, BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI (not XRP, Cardano, they're dead) \- riskier, shorter hold, higher upside: find a project that's about to launch, get involved in their community and get in early. Or look for well funded projects in the 200 - 400 market cap listing on coingecko .com (expect it to go to zero) These are very early startups, very young, very risky. Not advice but Euclid Protocol is one of my favorite projects that we've worked with for years and will launch in 1 - 2 months.

Did you at least buy BTC with the proceeds of those kidneys?

Mentions:#BTC

Probably BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP (Larger market cap coins with institutional support). Do some research and go with the one you have the most conviction on.

These relies are lacking so much info or just straight up wrong. Some people bought it, some people mined it, some people got it for free from faucets (sites that just gave free BTC daily). Thats not what actually made the price increase from a technical standpoint. Bitcoin operates on an algorithm to determine the rate of new Bitcoin released into the economy. Roughly every 4 years, the amount of BTC you get when “mining” it is halved. This means that less and less Bitcoin are being created every time that mining reward goes down. At the same time, the use cases and the ability of Bitcoin to function as money has been improving. So you have an asset with a rapidly decling rate of production, and a rapidly increasing rate of adoption and use cases. This lead to an extreme increase in price (supply/demand), causing each coins value to skyrocket. People who were early adopters of the system and mined when the block rewards were extremely large could acquire thousands of coins monthly. If you were able to store these coins successfully, they are now worth expinentially more than they were at the time. Of course, over the years many coins have been lost or destroyed, so the actual amount in circulation is actually a lot less that 21m number that many quote. But, that’s essentially how it happened in very broad terms.

BTC to $400k!

Some forward thinking people bought into the idea of BTC at the beginning and saw its future potential (this was a minimal amount of people). 10c a coin $10, $100. Some bought (or mined) and forgot then found they were sitting in a fortune. So many people bought at 10c and sold at $10 or $100 and made a massive x100, or x1000 or more on their investment. Why wouldn’t you! The people that understood (again, minimal) sold at the ATH of $126k or whatever it was. The people that really understand didn’t sell (maybe a bit) and they are still buying at the current knock down prices of 50% of ATH.

It was during the period when universities were running protein folding leaderboards and people would leave their PCs running on 24/7 with a view to furthering medical research, there were leaderboards and everything, coold times. Then BTC came out and just about everyone stopped folding proteins :) It was a fun use of distributed computing. Satoshi was posting on the p2p foundation website at the time, it all started there with mining. Originally there were sites called bitcoin faucets, where you could grab them for free. It took a long time for their to be any kind of exchange rate established.

Mentions:#BTC

Some of them may have mined early when solo mining was easier. A lot bought some early and sat on it. There was a time when a bitcoin cost almost nothing. There was a website that would give you 5 BTC for free just to promote the technology. The thing is, bitcoin is scarce (only 21,000,000 can ever be mined, about 20M have been mined so far) and it is useful. The more people came to appreciate that it was a good money, in many ways superior to the dollar, gold, etc, the more people wanted some. With increasing demand against an inflexible supply, price/purchasing power has to go up. So what was once worth cents is now worth about $65k USD.

I'm with you. Just more and more convoluted solutions to keep our BTC safe. Now we have to buy the components ourselves and assemble them.

The sheer existential dread is what causes the instant panic. * The Supply (The Execution): 1.1 million BTC is roughly 5.5% of the entire circulating supply. No market on earth can handle an active, multi-billion-dollar seller looking for the exit. Even if Satoshi only sold a fraction, the massive overhang of the remaining supply completely breaks the math behind Bitcoin's scarcity. So the principle triggers the initial heart attack, and the threat of the massive supply ensures the market doesn't recover from it.

It is rather a good sign that you consider it weird. If you look closely you can see that there a lots of those people in the BTC and crypto community as well. I think about people irrationally hating on taxes, government, inflation, the "mainstream media", normies and so on. To me hatred is a sign for a lack of understanding, thus never shows intelligence but rather the opposite.

Blue and it doesn't have shit to do with BTC.

The issue here is, so much of the psychological price of BTC is based on the fact that his wallets are basically considered burned tokens. So we have no idea what the fallout would be if even $1 was moved from the wallet, it could cause BTC to collapse and not come back to these levels

Hello... I am not sure why it is a tax headache. As BTC is considered property it does not fall under the "wash" rules. And... "the next bull run"..? I am beginning to think that there being a next run is bull.

2.5 BTC, A "sat" is 0.00000001 BTC.

2010 is already the year I use to torture myself. I got married that year and I did the math once: I could have used just $100 of the cash gifts we got, and it would have bought BTC worth $63M at the peak.

Nobody said bitcoin was hacked, they said its price was not affected much even though thousands BTC have been stolen

If you moved one Satoshi worth from that wallet BTC would implode, and you would get nothing.

"the war on BTC" ??? Explain, what have I missed?

Put as much money as you can on an exchange that offers leverage. Use as much leverage as you can, and short the BTC market. Move a few of Satoshi's BTC into some random persons wallet. Profit. That wallet is never going to be able to cash out. It will tank the market, and you will have all kinds of unwanted attention from government and just about everyone alive. The only way to profit off that wallet is to know it will tank the market, and to let it do exactly that.

Maybe the point of Satoshi's wallet is to never be found as to maintain a dollar value for BTC

Tell him you'll sell it to him for 100K/BTC and will buy it back for 60K/BTC later. He loves that type of deal.

That would probably trigger a massive panic sell ... The second people realize Satoshi's BTC is moving, the market would shit itself and BTC could absolutely nuke toward $0

Could buy a lot more than 10 BTC back then

BTC is undergoing the same structural change that names like GLD, SLV, OIL, equities have undergone... which is why the original BTC thesis is out the window. Bitcoin's valuation was built on two foundations: A hard cap of 21 million coins No rehypothecation That framework was altered the moment we started to layered things on top of the chain: Cash-settled futures, perpetual swaps, options, ETFs, broker lending, wrapped BTC, etc... Why do I say the thesis changed? Well, it is clear, the layers created change the hard cap. It essentially created an INFINITE supply of BTC but NOT on-chain. That INFINITE supply of off-chain BTC has synthetically has fundamentally altered the real supply, and as a result, price no longer reacts to demand. This synthetic supply of BTC no longer reacts to demand, but rather to positioning, hedging, and liquidation flows. Wall Street can not trade against BTC and doing what they do in every derivatives-dominated market: Create unlimited paper BTC Short into rallies Trigger liquidations Cover lower Repeat They've effectively turned Bitcoin into a market where supply can be created on demand. And they literally print their own Bitcoin out of thin air.

So the move is \- Short BTC with leverage \- Move BTC from Satoshi’s wallet Do both on separate machines on different continents (don’t rely on a VPN service, have a physical machine you can log into remotely). After the act, collect your machines and wipe them.

FBI knock your door. DOJ seize the BTC. So maybe just hodl lol

the day Satoshis wallet cashes out will be the exact moment in time where everyone will call BTC the biggest "scam" of our time. I doubt this would ever happen. If anything I can see a random day the monst randomest of the random where Satoshi would burn all his/her BTC to keep BTC's idea forever alive.

At one point I sold \~ 100 BTC to pay for my son's birth and week long stay in the NICU. Honestly would do that one over again, but no way would I risk anything that would fundamentally change my life from what it is now. Great wife, 5 wonderful kids, solid career, good health, good friends. I'd be hard pressed to go back and change anything that would make me happier today.

The best defense is diversification frankly. I'm mostly reacting to people who had 10+ BTC stored on a coldcard. That seems very crazy to me, unless it represents like 5% of their net worth or something.

His biggest contribution may be turning Bitcoin exposure into a familiar corporate finance product. Investors who would never manage keys could buy a public company, while the company used debt and equity markets to accumulate BTC. Whether that ultimately proves healthy is separate. He changed the distribution channel more than the technology.

Is your time horizon 5 years? 3 months? A snapshot? Are you a trader? I firmly believe in BTC and with that firmly believe MSTR will succeed and be one of the largest companies in the world - whether 5, 10 or 25 years
