BTC

Cuddlingmuse

I can think of a few ways: 1. zero day options on Robinhood alternatively 2. perpetual futures with leverage on BTC or something less volatile 3. Polymarket - bet on daily closing bets and martingale it

Seattleman1955

20% a year for the next 10 years and 10% a year after that. BTC at $500k around 2035 and a more mature asset class after that.

SadOrder8312

Nobody is selling them BTC for their worthless currency.

These_Maximum_3953

I’m talking about the ones in power , they have the internet . They be bagging up the $$ into BTC

SadOrder8312

Too late. The rial already epically collapsed. And even if there was still a market for their currency, it’s pretty hard to get BTC without the Internet.

No_South_9912

900 BTC, 600 ETH, 300 SOL, $200 for random alt coins.

Aggressive-Hall1913

I’m a strong Bitcoin holder and a firm believer in PoW. I’ve seen too many “new concept” projects rise fast and collapse just as quickly — PoW is the only thing that’s stayed consistently stable. I’ve also sold BTC too cheaply in the past and learned that lesson the hard way. That’s what really pushed me toward a holder mindset, and these days I trade very little.

Aggressive-Hall1913

Right now, our mining cost in the U.S. is roughly around $60,000 per BTC. A global “average” is very hard to estimate — it depends heavily on miner efficiency and unit power cost. Those two parameters are usually only known by the operator, and for most miners, they’re effectively confidential.

Maximum-Surround8969

Lmao some are making it their 3rd hold next to BTC, ETH, SOL, FART

tehsecretgoldfish

this is true. I did it last week. I got .02BTC free in 2009 when I downloaded a bitcoin client. never did anything with it until 2019 I tried to open the wallet. no joy. I had a .dat file but couldn’t crack it. So I asked ChatGPT if it was possible to crack open a .dat. Four hours later I had a text dump of the file, and was able to look up the three addresses in the dump file on blockchain explorer, found the address that was good and Chat talked me through how to sweep my tiny stake into a new hardware wallet. took some time but I have it.

These_Maximum_3953

Iranians should be converting everything to BTC before the collapse

dj_destroyer

Peter McCormach is a mega bull. Met him in person and his team interview me for their Convoy special they were doing. Ultimately didn't air but this guy definitely didn't sell, and even bought a soccer team with BTC.

youarestillearly

I'll believe it when it's passed. Russian citizens understand the need for Bitcoin more than any other nation. If they pass this bill, the capital flight into BTC will be immense.

elidevious

Had 3 BTC phished in ‘21. Fortunately, that wasn’t enough to fuck my life.

OGdavey420

Technically I didn't loose money but the BTC i sold in 2017 would be worth 10M+ today🥲

50EAGLE

Yes BTC is absolutely the safest. But if you’re hoping on a huge return , forget it. For the average retail investor hoping to make a decent return, they have to make a gamble on an ALT and hope it doesn’t get absolutely decimated by regulation . My speculation is, at some point the regulation will hit and kill 90-95% of crypto projects off the face of the earth, at least from t1 - t2 exchanges. Then we will see strong price performance in the tokens that follow the rules.

Either_Junket6500

What size positions are you using? Or are you literally doing 50x your account so $200=$10,000 position size. Which would be over 0.1 BTC. And less than a $2000 movement would wipe it out? Because you can get $2000 movements regularly and if you used a position size of 0.01 (a tenth of what you're doing) a $2000 move would give you 10% gain and you'd only need 90 trades to make over a million. I highly recommend you think about the compounding interest over huge quick gains.

Either_Junket6500

I started a trading account not long ago with $250. It's up to $842 currently. It's above my acceptable risk usually, but because I started with a small amount I thought it would be fun to see what I could do. I'm doing it on a platform where I can get copiers and earn some extra money if it does well. I'd be interested in sharing trade ideas and strategies. I only trade a few things and pretty much only BTC in crypto. BTC is more stable, but still has large moves.

FnAardvark

This is my main problem with this community. So many of you think you're giving great financial advice for the average person, and you aren't. Then you're shocked when you tell people on /personalfinance to avoid a roth and buy BTC and it doesn't turn out the way you hoped.

KKnightOfNi

Hmmm - BTC doesn’t need to be cut or melted.

OpticallyMosache

There was a time, not too long ago, when $17k Bitcoin made the community euphoric After that, there was a time when $59k blew everyone's mind Then I remember a time when $80k had me calling my Dad to tell him how much we were up! Then there was total disbelief when I joined a watch party on YouTube to see Bitcoin eclipse $100k Now we see $85-95k as just another Tuesday In 3-5 years, I'll be adding "Then we hit $370k and laughed that $17k used to make us euphoric". You can join & buy BTC anytime and get to experience the next ATH. You'll become numb to the volatility.

OpticallyMosache

Right now (it's a floating rate) it's earning 3.51% My view on money has become so skewed though from Bitcoin's volatitly and exchange fees that earning low interest feels meaningless. These are the different eras I've had buying BTC. In the beginning, I bought based on FOMO and when the price was accelerating I wanted more. -Lump summing $5-15k when I felt FOMO -Buying $1-4 every hour on Strike - price agnostic -Allocating 5-10% of every paycheck (bi-weekly) - price agnostic For the last couple years though, I've discovered building up a reserve over 2-4 paychecks and then buying when I feel BTC is tanking provides me the most joy. Instead of buying when I'm feeling FOMO, I buy when I'm feeling FUD. Doing the opposite of what my monkey brain wants to do. However, right now I'm paused and not working (no income). My only BTC action is slowly converting IRAs to IBIT.

True-Rule-7409

Longs on shovels! Yeah, I get what you're saying. BTC > Silver because supply side can't be influence by companies. Silver > Fiat because silver still is limited to the amount present on earth whilst fiat is unlimited.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

Aren't you tired of waiting for the "rotation to alts" for the past 3 years? Oh i forgot, you are in the crypto space for a few months. Let me help you then, pick up any ALT from those you mentioned and check their 5Y chart against BTC. If you are smart the chart will be enough to lead you to the right decisions. If you aren't, your losses will lead you there, sooner or later. Preferably, for you, sooner.

True-Rule-7409

I was trying to address the point around increasing the production of silver not being greedy but actually being similar to the underlying proof of work concept that bitcoin uses. Translating into bitcoin terms, silver miners are increasing their "hashrate" to capitalise on an increase in price. If BTCs price increased, BTC miners would also increase their hashrate to grab a larger slice of blocks. So they dont seem too dissimilar. To talk to your point though, the only variable for BTC isnt demand as the supply is still constantly increasing, it just cant be influenced by anything other than the current block schedule. Which is why we see increases in the price after a halving, which you is a supply side impact to price. Id also suggest the difficulty of mining a block and the price of btc have been proven to be positively correlated and could be argued to be another variable influencing the price.

leovin

BTC is for when you’re worried about the inevitable collapse of the dollar

Anxious_Noise_8805

IMO altcoins are undervalued relative to BTC, but BTC could still go up relative to the US dollar

NOneHOne

The only people who've lost any money in BTC are those who have already sold.  Keep that in mind 

Ok_Extension2820

Stop using leverage. Buy and hold. If you really want leverage, you can buy long dated options on bitcoin ETF’s . There’s no guarantee that BTC will perform that heavily even for options 2 years out though.

PsyOmega

Tulip mania lasted 3 years. BTC has lasted over a decade, and just goes up and up and up. Stay poor!

__redruM

Just the opposite IMO, BTC and ETH are the only safe-ish crypto investments. And you should also be buying stock based ETFs like QQQ, SMH, and VOO.

Defiant-Sun-1110

No actually this honest type of feedback is what I appreciate. And all you said makes total sense from that viewpoint. Many people don't get their asset allocation right and it's often overlooked. Personally I also just do dollar cost averaging and I have a certain percentage that I invest in BTC and that's it. I'm not too emotional about it. The idea came from when the market crashed many people seemed to be way too pessimistic and I thought why don't they track their emotions and then later look at them rationally when the price is higher in say many years long term. (But for that I should also add a feature to look long term at a chart) This is kind of where the idea came from. No investment advice!

FromThePits

Well, there's no endorsed words anywhere in this threat, if that helps. The challenge remains the same. No tricks. The 0.01 BTC still sits in the designated wallet. I will publish the xpub next week as promised

__Ken_Adams__

>It probably still works for billionaires Exactly. Pretty much what I mean when I say it works in very limited scenarios. Just for funzies a while back I created a spreadsheet to test the "buy, borrow, die" strategy because I was sick of people on here spouting this terrible advice to others. It had user input settings that allowed you to tweak all kinds of variables like starting btc balance, starting age, amount borrowed, BTC expected CAGR, interest rate, etc etc etc. Almost every scenario you threw at it ended up having you eventually running out of money if you weren't starting with ~$10M or more and starting aged 40+, meaning if you're under 40 even starting with $10M would likely not be enough to execute "buy, borrow, die". Even then, $10M is still not a "safe" starting amount. It needs very optimistic projections in the variables. You'll still go broke in most real world scenarios. Yet you see it all the time here: OP: "Should I sell bitcoin to buy x?" Average redditor: "Just borrow against it instead". OP: "But isn't that a loan that has to be repaid?" Average redditor: "You take out another loan to pay off the first one..." 🤦

ModifiedLeaf

When you understand that the market cap of s&p 500 is 58.44 Trillion and a 3% move is equal to adding or losing 1.64 trillion in market cap I'd say it makes sense. For context BTC is at 1.9 trillion.

No_South_9912

BTC, ETH, SOL are the "investment grade" coins according to major brokerages. That's why they offer ETPs. Then there's XRP, DOGE, LTC, HBAR offered as "3rd party" ETPs. Then there's the coins with no ETPs offered, only owned by those heavily into the crypto ecosystem.

Crypto_future_V

If BTC was really created by the US State Department, it would probably have a backdoor, a CEO, and a bailout by now.

Either_Junket6500

I know the risks. I don't want to add more things to trade. I mainly trade 3 things and rarely a few others. It's better to be good at one than mediocre at a bunch. If I blow this account it really doesn't matter, this is a small amount of money and as I said, it's for fun. I'll either make a lot of money on it, or it'll crash and I'll take out my money before it goes below what I put in 🤷‍♂️ so it's no loss. Y'all don't understand that not everyone trading with leverage is risking all they have, or more than they should. If I lose $200, it really wouldn't impact my life very much. When it reaches $1000 I'll probably take out my $200. And it'll get there if BTC goes to $92,000, and if not... Maybe over the next few trades. 😎

brandonholm

BTC is all you need. Alts have been and always will be just a distraction.

mossyskeleton

Thinking I should exchange 10% of my BTC for gold. That makes sense right? Why am I hesitating?

Defiant-Sun-1110

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I get where you’re coming from. But Bitcoin Mood is actually designed to do the opposite because it’s a simple tool for self-reflection, like a mood journal overlaid on BTC prices, to help users spot their emotional patterns (e.g., panic-selling during dips) and build better discipline. Think of it as mindfulness for crypto, not encouragement of neurosis.

raj6126

In theory yes it’s a dollar to dollar match. The type of assets they are holding to make a 1 to 1. Let’s say they are holding a crypto btc. Today BTC is worth 100k next week it could be worth 200k or 10k. They are using volatile assets. Hard assets take time to lose value so if there is a problem you have time to react to that problem. The dollar amount means nothing look into what that dollar amount actually means.

rcanhestro

a bit, BTC (and many alt coins) pumped too hard too fast, they will go down a bit to "stabilize" before trying again.

True-Rule-7409

Isnt that just the proof of work concept that underpins btc? The people that put in the work are rewarded. The only difference is that the difficulty doesnt increase as effort increases as inflation is not as limited as BTC. But that is why btc is superior. Lower barriers to entry and Fixed supply If the price of something rockets, you cant blame companies for capitalising on the increase in prices. It's sound business. Do you thing miners wouldnt ramp if operations if btc jumped up to 250k in the next couple of months?

Nemozoli

I know, it was just a joke, but close. I live in Hungary, the country that has had the craziest inflation of currency ever recorded (read: "Hungarian pengő hyperinflation in 1946"). I still have some pengő banknotes from my grandfather. I know that after a while 1 pengő = 0 pengő if you wait long enough... so the rial is up next. Hungary switched to the HUF (forint), but all those that had their investments in only pengő were obliterated. If you had real estate and other resources, you were already well off and the hyperinflation didn't affect you as severely. My grandfather, working in a bakery, had to go to the market every day after getting paid (daily wage payments because of the inflation) to get something for his family. A day later he could have bought less than half... How can anyone tell if you have more than $10,000 of BTC if you don't declare it yourself?

FOMOmeterCrypto

BTC only works while it is the volatility source. If BTC gets absorbed by institutions, rotation becomes a timing game, not a thesis. Most alts still trade sentiment, not fundamentals. BTC stays the anchor. Alts are trades, not a strategy.

Defiant-Sun-1110

I appreciate your reply. But nah Bitcoin Mood is more personal it’s for tracking your own daily emotions (via emojis) right on a live BTC price chart, so you can spot patterns in your trading psychology. It’s just a prototype of an App idea I had and I just put it out. But I know it’s not obvious so it’s most likely going to fail haha 😂

quick-fox-sub

Lost BTC in 2021-2022 when FTX crashed and Blockfi collapsed. It was super frustrating because I had recently brought a cold storage device and never bothered to move the BTC over for a week. I lost 0.2 BTC so I guess you could say it was an expensive lesson. Not your keys, not your coins!

xaviemb

I don’t intend this as a personal criticism, but I think there’s a fundamental misunderstanding here about how Bitcoin and its underlying network actually function. I suspect you've been manipulated by those who want you to believe you can't tell what is happening under the hood. Bitcoin was designed to allow you to, always. What you’re describing is, in effect, the idea that frequent trading of paper claims... analogous to simply claims on BTC being passed back and forth... somehow carries more significance than the movement of the actual custody of the underlying asset itself by long- or short-term holders. That distinction matters, and it’s worth thinking through carefully. Put simply, Bitcoin does not allow the provenance of coins to be obscured. If coins that have remained dormant for eight years are moved, that activity is visible on-chain. By contrast, exchange volume is largely internal churn: a large pool of liquidity rotating rapidly between participants. That activity may look substantial in nominal terms, but it has little direct bearing on price formation. What actually correlates with price movements is the behavior of large holders and the substantial majority of coins (roughly 85%) that are held on-chain. The data makes this pattern clear: near market tops, coins that have been inactive for four years or more begin to move; near market bottoms, activity increases primarily among short-term holders. Exchanges do not alter these underlying dynamics. Regardless of how many billions of dollars change hands within them, they don’t override the on-chain realities that ultimately drive price behavior.

Calm-Professional103

BTC and ETH pretty well cover it all. 

BainTrain55

RIP BTC Bull Run you’ll be missed. Jan 12/26-Jan 15/26.

PuppyIover101

I never said USDT wouldn't have to comply. I'm just stating that BTC itself would be semi-frozen, as in, the coins flagged.

rgnet1

Now think of Bitcoin ETFs. A fund manager relies on a custodian to hold the bitcoin. The custodian may suffer a theft or loss. Maybe they're just incompetent. Maybe they're a bad actor that decides to pretend they bought BTC when they didn't. Any of these scenarios is like looking into the stuffed metal in the OP's silver bar pic. And when the discovery is made and the ETF holds far less actual bitcoin than its purported value, who do you think loses? The fund manager or the shareholders?

elixon

I was not aiming to discuss personal perception. The point was to examine global perception and collective expectations, specifically whether Bitcoin can realistically remain a trusted asset in the long term within an expanding crypto ecosystem where it is no longer the only viable option. The mechanics are well understood, as are the structural limitations, and there is nothing inherent that prevents highly capable people from pushing blockchain beyond BTC and friends. If Bitcoin were to acquire a reputation for corruption either moral of objective or merely excessive concentration of power, which would not be difficult given the existing balance, confidence could erode regardless of whether that perception is fully justified. In such a scenario, capital would not disappear, it would migrate. There is already a wide and growing range of alternative destinations available. The hypothetical question was simply whether this chain of events is plausible, not whether it is inevitable or desirable. Unfortunately, discussions like this often become difficult because strong ideological attachment (I would dare to call it religion in this case) can replace critical analysis. When trust begins to resemble belief rather than informed confidence, it becomes much harder to evaluate risks or even acknowledge that they can be discussed rationally at all.

Chrysalis1111

I tried to trade back in 2020, stupid oh so stupid. I was -0.2, -0.19, +0.06 BTC in my three trades. Quit when I was up. Good thing I did, wish I never ever started. Never again, HODL only. That is 30K+ lost forever in todays $$$, God knows how many in tomorrows.

Mission-Stomach-3751

BTC is king, just watching if lower volatility opens rotation in 2026.

Alpha_xxx_Omega

Nobody ever lost money in BTC, that’s a myth by the radical left

StackIsMyCrack

What does that have to do with BTC?

Mission-Stomach-3751

BTC = king. TAO is interesting as a decentralized AI play — could ride the AI narrative if that sector keeps growing.

uncapchad

do you swap GBP for USD and then USD for BTC? If so, are there fees for each swap or perhaps a spread? If so, stop enriching exchanges. Just buy in your local currency.

Neither_Plan_8387

I lost 500k. In November 2013 I opened account on Bitstamp, sent $1000 (\~5BTC) to them from my bank. Then Bitstamp reverted my bank transaction due to their problems. That is why I don't have 5BTC now :)

yell0w8

how can you be down if BTC went from 30k to 100k

ThuleWulf

BTC and TAO BTC = King TAO = decentralized AI with crypto. It could ride the AI hype.

Warrior-Scribe

IMHO Alt coins will out perform BTC both to the upside and the downside in the short/medium term. Diversification may help reduce portfolio volatility and risk in the longer term horizons.

CapitalIncome845

>I’m not sure why they would have bought if he really thought we were going to plummet down soon.  Strategy just buys. They don't care about the price now - they're thinking 10+ years in the future. Until you have 1BTC, don't look anywhere else. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment - it's effectively gambling.

Suboptimal_Design

Bruh...seriously. Is this your first time, both investing and on the internet? BTC is gonna do what BTC does. No one can predict it. There are no true indicators. It's all just thoughts and prayers out there. You would know this if you used a search engine for that question instead of the most sarcastic group of individuals on the planet, save for 4chan. I can't answer your question, no one can. I can, however, be an ass on the internet and apparently, today's my day. It's your day too, dear redditor. It's "our" day. Rejoice and buy/sell more BTC.

BavarianComet

If you believe in BTC yes. accumulate steadily and HOLD. If you don’t believe that’s fine. It’s ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE It’s my personal opinion not a recommendation. Inform yourself and make a decision either way. At the end you will blame yourself or celebrate - but again it’s YOUR DECISION AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY what u gonna do with your Fiatelos 😉

Mission-Stomach-3751

Agreed — BTC alone has been enough historically. My point is more about rotation, not replacement. BTC still leads, alts just tend to move after.

FastVideo9700

Ya which was just bought a few days ago around 91k-ish. I’m not sure why they would have bought if he really thought we were going to plummet down soon. No one knows anything, but I am new to the game and know the least lmao. Pulsechain has just been stressing me out because I know it was a mistake. I don’t have a bunch in there, I spent 1700$ and have about 600$ left, it’s just my first time and wanted to show my husband that it was worth it to start crypto in general. We discussed holding eth, BTC, & xrp long term, so not really stressed with those. I’m just aware that this alt (pulsechain) more than likely won’t come back & feel like I failed

Premium_Hunter

Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas changed my investing life. Talks a lot about emotions and how to control them. I can almost guarantee before reading that book I would have bailed on BTC after buying at 105k and it dumping to 74k regardless of me having long-term faith in the asset. Fortunately, I've held on for the ride.

OkZucchini5351

Meanwhile BTC going up 5 days straight: alts crabbing 5 days straight

Ok-Leadership4856

Artistic-Comb-5932

Altcoins yes. Made all back from BTC

VariatCA

There were also very specific *reasons* that BTC and stocks were falling together after that 9-10 week period. Inflation and Unemployment reports were coming in extremely hot, hitting 8.5% inflation in March. March 22nd was also the first interest rate hike in nearly 4 years, with the Fed signalling more to come soon. From early April until late May, stock markets also fell between -15% to -20% as rate hikes and QT accelerated. Crypto had its own problems going on as well, as Luna Terra collapsed in May 2022. Economically-speaking, we're still moving in the opposite direction compared to 2022 in terms of liquidity/M2 and relaxing interest rates.

texas-hedge

Funny how everyone was posting the M2 money supply vs BTC charts a few months ago until that didn’t work out, now I guess it’s time to draw some new curved lines on a chart and see how it goes. Just HODL for a very long time and keep stacking, we will be ok no matter what silly charts like this say.

TexasBoyz-713

Very true I can’t deny that, the market conditions are also different from what made BTC drop so low in the first place back then. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst

GoldmezAddams

Neither. Paper wallets are kind of obsolete and full of foot guns. Ledger is a sketchy company with a sketchy product. Look into a Coldcard, Trezor, Jade, or Bitbox02. Preferably a BTC only model.

TheMaruchanBandit

if you lost your BTC? does that count? I lost 10BTC i had gotten way back in the day on a cold wallet, lost the physical wallet and the keys. 16 year old me was kinda an idiot. I learned, lived, and laughed. Would of it changed my life today? yes. does it keep me awake at night? only if stay up passed 1am.

I was drilling into a wall in 2018 in my house. My stud finder said I was in wood, but it went through to easily. I pushed further and hit the hot water pipe. It shot a 30 ft maximum water temp through the wall to the other side of my place. I addressed the water frantically. Months later, I was looking for my codes because I'd bought a new trezor. I couldn't find them and couldn't remember the code to get into the trezor I had. I looked everywhere. I eventually found them in my bookshelf that had been hit 30ft across by the water. Water damaged, faded away. all BTC and ETH purchased from 2016-2017, gone. (11btc+, and 80eth+). I was spooked from it all and didnt want to ever touch it again. In 2020, I slowly starting buying again. In 2021, had reaccumulated 1.6 btc from slow purchases. put all of it into SPELL. it ran up to 8BTC + worth. Then it came out that the treasury for SPELL was connected to QUADRIGACX collapse and potential founder death. It fucking cratered before I was even aware since I wasn't frequently checking. It fell all the way back to pretty much my initial, AND I HELD. SUNK COST FALLACY hit hard with LOSS AVERSION. (understand these). I took the 'last' BTC I had and wanted to put it somewhere 'secure'. I SHOULD have put it into USDC or USDT if I had the knowledge I have now. My cousins who had been in before me, and with the feeling of SCF and LA alive in me, had me highly suggestible to any insights or recommendations. They recommended I put I put it into a 'blue chip NFT'. so I bought a high rarity Doodle. :(. A few months later, Doodle pumped and I didn't sell. A few months after that, the Doodle founder came out saying 'Doodle was never meant to be an investment vehicle', CRATERED 80-90%. so from 1.64 reaccumulated BTC (+ 20 ETH that I had on the side making some trades), I went up to 8BTC, greed held, cratered to 0.4 BTC. ETH from 20> 46>4>2). So, journey indeed.

AprilsMostAmazing

I sold a very tiny amount of BTC, in a attempt for very small profit and buy back later. Let's see if that causes a pump

TexasBoyz-713

Just a reminder that BTC had a +45% rally in early 2022 over a 9-10 week period before truly entering bear market territory. With being up 20% from November lows, about 9 weeks ago from now, I’m still extremely cautious that this could still be a fakeout

TexasBoyz-713

I’m just looking at the fact that BTC had a +45% run in early 2022 before truly entering a bear, so this could very much still be a trap

investingtruth

For alts my favorite right now is XRP. The regulatory clarity under this administration is a massive tailwind. XRP has been held back by the SEC lawsuit overhang for years. With that resolving and potential crypto-friendly policy coming, it's got room to run. Altcoin season doesn't really start until BTC consolidates and capital rotates. We're not quite there yet, but XRP is positioned well when that rotation happens.

Kinimodes

I made losses on other crypto early on, only BTC since 2020, zero losses, only gains lol

CapitalIncome845

Short term, yes. Bought a large (for me) tranche of BTC a few months ago at an average of around $105k. Currently down multiple 5 figures on that tranche, although I'm about even overall. Am I worried? No. It will come back.

giospez

Prople who lose money in BTC are those who think gambling and investing are the same thing. They buy at ATH out of FOMO and panic sell when there's a temporary drop.

Illustrious_Ant_9242

He didn't lose those, he traded them for goods and services. And why is no one talking about the guy who bought 10000 BTC for the price of two pizzas

caffeine_and

hi everyone, I use Kraken/Kraken Pro and usually purchase BTC/USD however I'm based in the UK. Should I stop buying in USD and switch to BTC/GBP? I think the answer it's pretty obvious, but I just wanted to check with you.

Itur_ad_Astra

BTC: Down 1% Most alts: Down 3-7% Yup, this is a reminder than Alts died on 10/10.

Grouchy_Suggestion14

Lost most of my crypto portfolio to Celsius bankruptcy. Would have had a nice stack today if it wasn't for Celsius scam. Bought BTC since 2017 when it was at around 900$ Got less than 5000$ from the claim. So I decided to stay away from crypto. So fair in 1 year I made 250% from stocks.. The big potential is not crypto anymore .. sure you can make some nice gains, but you also need a decent amount as entry if you want to make it really pop.

Muddy-Waterz

Only way people are losing money is by selling lower, in which case they don’t understand BTC. Or they are shorting BTC and it went the other way. Either way it’s a dumb move Buy and hold for the next 20+ years imo

Artemis647

I lost money! By selling around 3 BTC for other stupid shitcoins back in 2019. That, and leveraging, are the easiest way to lose energy/value.

Various_Primary3783

Are you guessing it’s 0.5% from their bank, because you didn’t write that’s what they said. Assumptions are bad. I earn over 4% in a high yield savings account. That’s decent interest. I get your sentiment here, but it’s good to keep some money in a high yield savings. Not everything needs to be dumped into BTC

Based on this comment, I would assume you might need to read more about BTC. I might be wrong though, but when it goes down I actually feel the urge to buy more, not to sell. I might be wired to be an idiot, but that's just me.

Chill dude, so much hate easily triggered by yahoo news, blaming the whole country/nation because of 1 man Putin. Russia is in top 5 crypto miners, it's gonna be state centralized exchange with millions of retail traders (kinda crypto mixer), it never meant to increase BTC price, more likely it's needed to receive payments for oil/gas from China and India or from the US for uranium, metals and fertilizers so you could keep eating your GMO corn and big mac

If you purchase BTC, the only way to lose is if you sell. The best-performing BTC wallets are the ones whose owners lost their private keys. If you keep stacking, you will never have to sell; just borrow against it.

It's designed for HODLers, traders, and anyone who's emotionally invested in BTC to track their daily sentiment with emojis, overlaid right on a real-time Bitcoin price chart. The goal is to track your emotions better and therefore make more rational decisions. What do you guys think of that idea?  *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
