BTC

Good question Merged mining solves network security problem. The same hardware mining Litecoin can simultaneously, with 0 extra electricity or hardware, secure any number of smaller chains on the same algorithm (Scrypt). This isn't theoretical, the AuxPoW protocol has supported it since 2011(?) (Namecoin has been merge-mining with Bitcoin ever since, with no changes to BTC's code), and today on Scrypt, LTC + DOGE + BELLS + PEP all do it at once. So: Bitcoin was technically capable of this from the start, all the merge-mining logic lives on the auxiliary chain's side, not the parent chain's. And yes, in theory you could merge-mine a "ton of tokens" at once, the protocol allows it. In practice, the bottleneck isn't cryptography, it's pool software (has to handle x different chains) and economics (each additional token is marginal benefit for the miner). But here's also a part merged mining doesn't solve: it secures the network against attacks, but says nothing about how fairly the coin launched.... Creator can premine or instamine, meaning allocate themselves a big chunk of supply before or right after launch, and then still plug in merge mining later to look "secure" and legitimate. Hashrate defends against rewriting block history, not against dishonest distribution at launch. Those are two completely separate things, and both need to be checked independently. That's why, for any merge mined coin, I look at two things: who's securing the network, and who actually holds the coins. Pepecoin checks both boxes: 100% of supply mined publicly from block one, no premine, no ICO, and merge mining was added only after the fair launch, not as a way to disguise one.

the only one sounding delusional is you, when tf does someone trust Fidelity on the matters of BTC, i think i’ll trust the people that have been in the space a decade + and if they are skeptical so am I, time will tell who was right

DCA BTC for the rest of your life and Chill. Time is on your side

AI has no effect on BTC mining so what are you asking?

Budget-Aardvark-7860

All i’m seeing is ppl that think they are geniuses because they bought at 75k, and calling everyone that challenges their thesis about up only “sidelined”, idk about yall but id rather not be with the herd on this one, its crazy people are calling a bull market when BTC hasn’t even tested its prior support to hold, ive seen this story before, retails stays getting dumped on smh

Patrick_Atsushi

I personally prefer a relatively steady growth over constant +-10% fluctuations. The long term gain in BTC is better than stocks so here I am.

pubic_discourse

Very good counterpoint, but real estate has a lot of transaction costs, carrying cost and idiosyncratic risks like location and build and whatnot. You’re absolutely right, other real estate stands to gain a large % of the capital, and other hard assets too, but Bitcoin has a lot of great properties for people who come to this epiphany: liquidity, ubiquity, sovereignty etc. I think the thesis is sound even if BTC is only a tiny fraction of where this capital moves frankly

quintavious_danilo

Yes. BTC going to zero is very very unlikely.

Torshein

Dollar cost average. Set it, forget it. Only convert the USD you don't need in the next few years to BTC.

Confident_Ground_775

Not true. When you convert BTC into USDC it is a taxable event.

Zealousideal-Ad7773

Do the opposite of Youtube thumbnails. Everyone was bearish and we got up. Now everyone is calling BTC at ATH, we will probably correct.

88eth

Should be fine I have sent 50 BTC to the wrong address before, its always been returned. One time I sent the $250m payment for my superyacht by mistake 18 times and they refunded it also (browser was bugged and reloading the page would re-send the transaction). You are lucky its only 50 ETH, ETH is literally still worthless and not worth anything more than the $0.25 i paid for them back in the day.

JakobBowser

No guarantees for another alt season, I'd stick with BTC and maybe a little eth

RobOTx63

Reads like OP asked AI to write a story about losing BTC with X, then decided to post across multiple subs.

LetsLearnYouZhongWen

My brother in Christ, you are questioning BTC while blindly throwing money at other crap. 

username12435687

That's still 2.5k worth of BTC.. and at its highest closer to 5k in BTC. I'd be pissed too

Backrus

Performance this year vs benchmarks (BTC and MSTR); performance since we started bull on August 24 (close above weekly ema50), whales' positioning, ETFs flows, and narrative simple enough that even average redditor can understand it (ZEC is privacy, although honeypot lol, but number goes up, but just use Monero, HYPE is basically better CBOE/RH, although for options there's DRV, LIT is the same so it's diversification, NEAR has been he best out of AI plays). Then again, alts shouldn't be more than 5% of your overall stock portfolio. Disclaimer: I've had those since 2025, so my cost basis is infinitely small. Still, every cycle worked like that - early winners just kept running and winning even more.

Efficient_Range1156

0.0289 BTC?

hoppeeness

Yes. Skipped. Too many old school cryptos here to admit it though. Small cap alts are way out performing BTC and ETH and even SOL a little Great example in DOVU. Actually moved from ETH to HBAR…real tech for real use cases. https://np.reddit.com/r/Hedera/s/dTzrZIvOVg

Night and day is a fair comparison. They're very different assets. Bitcoin is a single, notoriously volatile asset, whereas SPY is meant to be a relatively nonvolatile basket is exposure to many large companies in a variety of industries. That being said, they share the characteristic of being a hedge against monetary inflation/debasement. The debasement narrative has been picking up steam for the last 3 months, and during that time BTC is up 40% and SPY is up 4%

Backrus

Honestly, no point for quite some time. First of all, there's no such thing as "investing" in crypto - to invest in something, it has to have fundamental value. Tokens created in 15s (yes, it takes that long) don't have any fundamental value. You can argue BTC has some, but still, you're gambling on price appreciation without any logical reason. When IBIT options launched, BTC lost its ability to generate upside volatility (in January GVZ flipped BVIV, and BVIV chart alone is just sad). Without that, it's just another stock with market like returns and much bigger downside risk. So it's hard to find honest argument to have it in your portofolio on a risk-adjusted basis. Then again, if you have to hold something, do it with BTC - there are periods when it decorrelates from stocks (but over last 3 years it decorrelated from the upside lol). Since COVID dump / post 2021, stocks have better volatility, and better risk-adjusted returns (BTC has been the worst performing asset in the world on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis since IBIT options launched on November 19, 2024; although it might change with the start of new bull market on August 24). Not to mention all the investor protections in the world. If you still wanna gamba, this cycle has already decided its winners: HYPE, LIT, ZEC, NEAR.

MAGICAlenceria

No lo haga Bro. La estrategia correcta es el Precio de Compra Promedio, entre 12 y 18 meses posteriores al ATH, ya van 12 meses. Te recomiendo aprender sobre el Ciclo Mundial de Futbol Soccer/BTC Requeriría mucha explicación pero el precio correcto para este ciclo de 2026-2029 es debajo de 75K, si eres bueno de 65K a 75K. Y calculamos que llegará de 210K a 230K, 20% de probabilidades a 250K.

These results are much better than if you randomly trade the same instruments during this period. So I implore you to give TA a chance, I was sure it was "astrology for men" until I actually tried it. The pattern here is a horizontal breakout.

I keep my actual BTC stack mentally separate from anything short term cold storage is one thing and trading is another Moon sits more on that second side for me so I dont start treating every little move like a reason to touch the long term bag

So you wanted me to say 'blackrock customers are buying'? Fine - but I chose to phrase it in a more succinct way so that we can focus on the matter at hand, which is retail sentiment. Besides, Blackrock does not represent small retail clients, they service public/corp pension funds, insurance companies, and of course private capital. So whales. I could have mentioned all that but it was easier to say 'Blackrock just loaded up on BTC' ;-)

KateR_H0l1day

Blackrock is not a Company buying BTC for itself, it a holding ETF for retail, same as Fidelity, Ark, etc who have a BTC ETF. This is totally opposite to Strategy, Strive, MetaPlanet, etc. who are BTC-TC’s that buy for themselves! Therefore, your hypothesis is completely wrong, retail is getting stronger than native buyers. They (retail) like the safety of companies such as Blackrock holding their BTC for them, and are willing to pay for that privilege!! Which, also shows the status of how holding crypto is perceived, still far to many scams/frauds and opportunities to lose what you’ve worked hard to buy, including losing your seed phrases 🤷‍♀️

Backrus

And what makes you think you're capable of choosing exact runners that will outperform? Moreover, why do you benchmark alt to BTC? You should benchmark to MSTR (or MSTU if we're talking sub 100M mc).

NivTheGever

Yes seeing BTC going to the bear market low is not something I would think right now, of course there are unexpected catalysts that can happen, which actually Trump said he would so something right after the midterms (which we should take in extreme doubts since it's trump). But I still can't see how BTC can rise with this disaster full year. I don't see any reason for this rally to 87k too. And there are so many times the market don't make sense but we should react. I still want to bet for 60s again but now it doesn't seems likely..

Mission-Dependent391

Funny how everyone wants the crash until the crash actually shows up I was watching BTC across Moon and a couple charts during the drop and the mood changed fast Buying when the timeline feels awful is a lot harder than planning it beforehand

Proof-Chemistry9630

Selling everything and even taking loans for BTC is wild I get having conviction but thats a lot riding on one outcome I still check BTC across a few places Moon included and even normal swings are enough to mess with your head Ten years from now this post is either gonna look genius or completely insane

hoppeeness

Yes. Skipped. Too many old school cryptos here to admit it though. Small cap alts are way out performing BTC and ETH and even SOL a little

Competitive_Cook_939

He is correct about BTC not being in a bull run yet though

tiv5656

I understand what you’re saying but I have 2 counter arguments… 1: Bitcoin will scale with inflation. I think we’re all confident the value will grow past inflation rates but at the minimum it will keep up. 2: I like to look at mining rewards. In 20 years, miners will get less than half a bitcoin / block. Having more BTC accumulated than the current mining reward has always been a significant amount of USD. I suspect that will continue

A_Honking_Goose

You people don't really understand whats happening atm, we aren't in a BTC bull run yet believe it or not what is happening with most alts is they are now correcting compared to a really deep pullback during the bear. BTC and ETH did not correct as much so for the time being they arn't pumping as much. Normal fairly clueless retail people like yourself will be caught out by a huge correction in a couple months after that is when the real BTC and eventually crypto bull run will start.

Calm-Neighborhood-43

People are saying stick to BTC which is a normal and sensible response. But given that you've already bought some shit coin that no one has ever heard of i takeit that you dont want to do the safe thing and buy BTC. Look at something like bittensor Instead. I wouldn't be surprised to see it 10x in a bull run.

usedmattress85

I personally do a combination of using the Larsson Line and just paying attention to the BTC cycles. The Larsson Line subscription is very expensive now but I was an early adopter so I have it for life. I believe there are free alternatives on TradingView you might look into. I believe it’s just a combo of a couple of moving averages or something with a little secret sauce added in…I really don’t know. Then I watch a lot of Ben Cowan to understand the charts, macro situation etc. now Ben was predicting a bear market low on Q4 this year and that may not play out exactly but we may still get another dip down at least. My strategy is to sell everything when the Larsson Line flips blue then buy back at some price that will come close to doubling my bag. So far it works. The best part is that it’s stress free. Worst case scenario I buy back at my sale price and I lose nothing . Yet I have so much to gain through this strategy. Everyone says HODL but that really never made sense to me, especially when BTC cycles are so predictable Best of luck

Accept the losses, or you will ride that shitcoin to zero and lose more. Put 90% into BTC The other 10% can be played with in shitcoin if you must, but if you don't have a lot to lose or are comfortable with losses (it's clear you're neither of those) I wouldn't bother

Hello Su tu veux commencer avec 300€ ,ça peu être simple est sans prise de tête . Tu ouvres un compte sur un plateforme ,moi je préfère Weex ou Pionex mais il y en a beaucoup. Tu prends une position sur BTC on va dire de 50€ avec un levier de 2 et tu laisse tourner . Vu que tu a de la marge de côté le risque de liquidation est très bas voir inexistant,sauf évidemment un crack du marché . Si tu vois après quelques jours que tu est en positif ,tu place un stop loss a ton prix d'entrée est la t'es sûr que aucune perte en cas de chute sévère . Et tu recommence ensuite ,car a un moment donner ou a un autre le marché va repartir est l'idéal c'est d'être dans le train . Cette solution est évidement sur du long terme et pour éviter toute perte

S&P 500 is good for long term holding. For Monero you can only speculate. I keep some to always be able to make anonymous payments. I also think that it has a lot of potential with fiat currencies getting digitalized. But I don't think it will become mainstream like BTC because governments do everything to make it unavailable for normies.

This calculator assumes the BTC are held through retirement. Y’all don’t even understand what you’re criticizing, lol.

crunchyeyeball

Kinda. This [video from 3Blue1Brown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4) explains it far more eloquently than I ever could. Basically, a miner groups together as many transactions as will fit into a block, prioritized by fee. These miners *compete* to create such a block by find one whose header *hashes* to a value below a certain threshold based on the current "*difficulty*", where this *difficulty* adjusts to keep the time between blocks at around 10 minutes. This can be though of as finding a hash with x zeroes for simplicity. The winning miner gets to award themselves all the transaction fees, plus the block *subsidy* (currently 3.125 BTC).

ComasArentFun

Dude, if I need to fanny around with arcane parameters to get somewhere close to actual real world expectation, it's nothing short of fantasy economics and moving goalposts to arrive at a number the user is happy with, which is by definition useless If I go to my pension planner, and I could just straight up lie about everything to make it sound like I can retire tomorrow, reality wouldn't reflect that (which is why their sites rely on your assets and realistic projections) - your site has the opposite problem. I'm not sure if you have totally vibed the entire thing without understanding the core concept of why BTC matters, and how it works, or this is an "Anti-BTC" attempt with a vague handwave at some flawed data to project a veneer of legitimacy. Honestly, I've seen both many many times so it's a coin flip as far as I'm concerned. Roger Ver? Is that you? Is there another site that tells me why BCH is the better alternative and I can retire on a fraction of the upfront costs?

meaningful_convo

Me too.. we are all learning as time goes on, no mattwe how long we're in the markets. Seeing that you do not express dunning-kruger effect like most new people and admit it, you are one step further from others. Just know the math, don't emotionaly attach to any crypto I will one advice that i wish i had been given when i started on Feb 2017.... price of a tooken is actually not important, what is is market cap. That is why inflation rate is so important. Know that the difference beetween 2017 and now is that nowdays at a ~$1.2T market cap, Bitcoin is a massive ocean liner. Every new dollar that comes in has to absorb the selling pressure of early adopters taking profit. For BTC to double from here, you need the equivalent of the entire market cap of Amazon, Google, or a significant chunk of the S&P 500 to flow exclusively into Bitcoin.

The blockchain does not turn money into BTC. Only an exchange can do that. Wether it’s a marketplace exchange like Binance or Coinbase, or an exchange between individuals. There are hundreds of thousands of scams out there. If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t do it. 

Queasy-Ride4291

Because the power law support curve is a constantly moving goal post. BTC broke it 3 times this year alone lol

faisal_yk26

I'd flip it. This doesn't make Zcash a threat to Bitcoin, it makes Bitcoin a threat to Zcash's main selling point. It's still just a paper though. No way to move BTC in or out yet, no launch date, and Bitcoin itself doesn't verify the private transfers. Big validation for Zcash's tech, but if BTC ever gets working privacy, the reason to hold ZEC shrinks.

Not gonna read all that. Is the “TLDR” Zcash will ultimately become the greater BTC?

Thorchain will be providing a on-chain swap for XMR. You can swap from something like BTC to XMR and swap back. You don't need to swap same amounts. Just like any other exchange, but Thorchain all on-chain and no KYC. Once you've swapped in you're shielded. Until this happens, Monero is vastly inferior to options like Zcash with Solana. Too hard and costly to get in and out. Monero maxis will respond with some garbage p2p marketed services that leverage centralized components, escrow, or some form of semi trust based sketchy solutions with little liquidity and no true permissionless order books. Many of these sketchy services are operated by the whales looking to escape their illicit XMR. Nothing truly solved until Monero adds complex contracts, but Thorchain will finally be the first reasonable option for your average person.

BTC pumped less last cycle than the S&P…. So, you might want to learn the asset you’re trading. It is no longer the volatility play that it used to be. Plenty of better places now for asymmetrical risk.

I think BTC will cross the 100,000 mark.

Sacredwisp

Because BTC is the only one with any inherent value. It's target market is all monetary premium in assets, which is conservatively valued at several hundred trillion. Meme coins are just that: memes. No utility or use. They are simply gambling. News flash: NFTs are never getting a resurgence. They were a scam to take your money with a fancy story to justify them. Memecoins are the same. Just take the 30-40% CAGR. Don't be greedy and lose it all. If that isn't enough for you, you've got bigger problems.

I calculated my avarage entry today. Even with the recent fomo buys at \~80k$, thanks to some buys from back in 2020 my avarage entry is \~53k$/BTC. So I had never a loss on my BTC spot position in this bear market, even though I started DCAing right under 100k. It was sometimes quite a hard ride but I could manage staying convinced.

faisal_yk26

You've hit the classic Bisq catch-22. On Bisq 1 you need some BTC already, because buyers have to put down a BTC security deposit. The way around it is Bisq Easy in Bisq 2. Buyers don't need a deposit there, the seller takes the risk based on their reputation. Trades are capped at small amounts, but it's built exactly for getting your first sats without KYC. Once you have a little BTC, you can use that as your deposit on regular Bisq for bigger trades.

soks86

Halvings also have minimal impact on BTC now. The natural inflation of BTC is significantly lower than \_any\_ available currency worldwide. It would only affect the largest buy and hold stashes and only assuming they're not using any of the stash to generate interest income. Even a small amount of passive income on your BTC will beat whatever loss you have from the printing of more BTC and all of that will be swallowed up by volatility and the ever-increasing scarcity of BTC.
