BTC

Even_Sugar6852

Deposited 0.001 BTC on ViaBTC.co.uk; just to test their “withdrawal” functionality, I withdrew the same 0.001 BTC. That worked. I deposited my 0.001 BTC again and this time tried to withdraw 0.002 BTC (I.e. more than I had). That also worked, and it started confirming on the blockchain straight away. Not complaining, but still quite a stupid bug.

BlazingPalm

Haha I found that funny too. Like, you gotta have the crypto hacker guy spamming email refresh and RAPIDLY immutably send millions worth of BTC where a mistake can be costly. Surely they meant minutes? “Sorry folks, we missed out window, we’ve gotta turn it around now…”

Wildwildworld123

yes, I use USDT monthly. I use to use BTC monthly but due to accumulating .2 at around 66k ive decided to just hold onto it.

RainThick

What’s your strat once you have the BTC? Barrow against it? Sell? I know I’m holding for a long time but I’m always curious what then plans of others are

Doritos707

I mean its generally already been known that those certain individuals have been there since day one. Its just literally all open source software. Now where the fuck is the 1 million BTC is probably the concern of the govt and others.

Afraid_Grocery3861

On its way to 11-15K usd. Highly doubt the BTC bear market will be over by years end

FairBlamer

Consider two worlds: World A: All bitcoin is split evenly among 8 billion people, so each person owns ~0.002 BTC World B: Our real world Why is World A’s bitcoin protocol “healthier” than our world’s bitcoin protocol?

Dependent_Code7796

You can’t pay it in yen (JPY). It was proposed that it would’ve been accepted in Chinese Yuan, or some unnamed stablecoin, but highly unlikely they would have chosen one that is US based. As of yesterday, all the credible information that I have seen is that it will only be accepted in BTC.

Iran won't accept USD. They will prefer BTC because can't be sanctioned.

He was not, and I’m quite certain. His picture was put there as a tribute after his tragic suicide. Not for BTC, for other things. His (ex) wife says he was not Satoshi.

$BTC 100% set it and forget it. Cold wallet.

Theres nearly 1m coins which were generated before BTC started trading, it matters if SN is dead, still alive, or a state actor. If any of those coins move it would significantly destabilize BTC.

BTC is a wild mustang. It does what it wants when it wants to. But yes up long term always

OP there are a fixed # of BTC (~21 million). explain how US hedge funds control supply? im either misunderstanding a basic premise of BTC or about to be enlightened.

Far-Illustrator6145

I bought my first BTC off of Ebay. Yes Ebay. Then traded on BTC-E.

cashbox_cash

Interesting approach, but the comparison to the 4% rule doesn't hold up. The 4% rule means: I withdraw 4% annually and live off it. Your model basically says: I don't withdraw anything and watch the floor value grow. But what do I live off then? As soon as I sell BTC to cover expenses my stack shrinks and the floor growth shrinks with it. Then it's not a 2.5 million portfolio anymore. A retirement portfolio you can't touch isn't a retirement portfolio. 🤦🏽‍♂️

DangerHighVoltage111

Because it was not Bitcoin. Chivo was custodial and most LN wallets were custodial and on top of that if you tried self custody you have to deal with the crippled base layer. BTC was crippled to fail.

Fnuckled

Every BTC transaction is on the public ledger and is what brought Silk Road undone. Cash is used far more than BTC for criminal activity.

Scarecrow4980

everyone was so excited when BTC made it to wallstreet. I didn't like the feeling I had when it happened for this reason.

BaldBear_13

I can send internationally. Crypto might be a bit faster, but they are in a different time zone anyway and will not get it until tomorrow anyway. ETF cannot be taken from me. I know the government *could* take over the brokerage, but also hackers *could* take over your wallet app through an undiscovered backdoor. I do not have to ask permission to change the numbers. I believe brokerage does buy BTC to support it. And even if it does not, it has plenty of capital to cash me out when I want to.

bobbo6969-

That’s very clearly not what I said. I’m not even a BTC maxi. I don’t even hold any BTC. You’re so smart though. You should be so proud.

slickyeat

FYI: I just received a notification from Coinbase while sending out a transaction to my BTC address. They had notified me that the address is a "scam" despite having used this exact same one for multiple years now. This address was in fact the same one they had on record so i didn't have to copy paste anything. I even confirmed multiple times using a separate explorer that it was my wallet. This shit is starting to look very suspect. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but with Iran now accepting BTC for passage through the Strait I'm starting to wonder if something else is going on here.

devCheckingIn

Don't forget that miners are selling a crapton of BTC -- something like 15,000 coins in the past couple of months. They need to pay the bills and mining isn't very profitable right now. Then you had Nakamoto Holdings and Bhutan selling about 2,000 BTC combined in March. But I do agree that "paper BTC" is likely used by institutions for leverage trading, and that short selling pressure isn't helping the price any.

bobbo6969-

Ok. “Illegal toll fees” the illegal part is the point. If the US is going to keep sanctioning more and more countries. And those countries respond by trading in BTC, that’s the demand. That’s the use case. Also, I’m pretty sure Iran has already been getting paid for their oil in crypto for a while.

AnotherThroneAway

They could take rubles, yuan (which they are), dinar....but BTC is clearly the best overall choice.

WamBamTimTam

Because companies and countries operate off of currencies they are familiar with? Every country has an idea of what USD is compared to their currency, one of the results of it being the most popular global reserve currency. 30 BTC is prone to fluctuating, and at the end of the day they’ll exchange for fiat anyway since that is what they spend on their day to day. Iran also accepts Euro and Yuan, currencies they use anyway, so it makes sense. BTC is just a form of exchange to them, they want the fiat, not the BTC

yunghelsing

The usability in question: oil tankers are forced to pay a fee in BTC when passing the strait of hormuz Dont see how that applies to us

MarioWilson122

Yeah, that tracks. Bitcoin holding around $72,000 after a big options expiry makes sense, and Strait of Hormuz issues are the kind of thing that can keep markets on edge. So it feels like BTC is just sitting there while broader uncertainty hangs over everything.

InvestAISavvy

I built a pipeline that tracks social engagement across about 10 platforms and scores each asset by how abnormal the current attention is relative to its own baseline. Basically a Z-score for social buzz. That filters out the constant BTC/ETH noise and surfaces stuff that's actually spiking in a statistically meaningful way. The other thing that helped was finding a second data source that scores assets independently. When two systems that don't share data both flag the same coin at the same time, that's a much stronger signal than either one alone. Took me about six months to build but now I spend maybe 20 minutes a morning reviewing what it flagged overnight instead of scrolling CT for hours.

Quirky-Reveal-1669

In practice, a minimum of 5-8 hops should be fine. But it is ridiculous that CoinJoined bitcoin is seen as any different than non-CoinJoined BTC.

bobbo6969-

I’m not grasping at anything. Iran is engaging in a strategic assault against the petrodollar. The US just destabilized the Middle East. It also failed to protect the gulf states. And now some oil trades are happening in BTC. I think you’re the one grasping at straws. Is it early, of course. Could it go another way, absolutely. But the facts are what they are. Even if ONLY Iranian oil traded in a combination of BTC, and Yuan that’s a huge development

MarshmallowReading

Doubtful considering gold more than doubled with a market cap 15x the size of BTC

KCConnor

That's a bit too low unless we get another FTX sized collapse. Strategy being forced to sell into the lows, Blackrock being proven to hold no actual BTC for their ETF (though that should actually drive price up rather than down but it's scandalous enough), something like that. I see a trend line from the October high to the January 14th high, descending through to October 2026. By the first week of June we should be in the $58K range. I expect summer flirtation with $60K on and off, then an August/September scare to $44K.

dtg99

Listen bub, you can hope, cope or do whatever it is you'd like to do but BTC has been moving inside the same channel for \~3 months now and the next thing it does it going to be move another leg down. Nothing changed with BTC, it will follow the exact same pattern it has during every other single cycle. There is no "this time is different" on the way up and there sure as fuck is no "this time is different" on the way down.

Boring-Bus-3743

Oh they are doing that again? Last time It happened we came off the gold standard. Are we getting a BTC standard now?

ivy_rosetn

This is exactly the kind of post this community needs more of. The distinction you make right at the top — that Bitcoin uses digital signatures, not encryption — is something that gets butchered in almost every mainstream article on this topic, and it invalidates half the fearmongering before it even gets started. The fact that you led with that tells me you actually did the work. The point about the 6.26 million BTC with exposed public keys is the one I think deserves the most attention going forward. It's not a sky-is-falling number, but it's not nothing either — and the people holding those coins range from lost wallets to early adopters to Satoshi's own stash, which makes any community conversation about it genuinely complicated. The BIP-360 mention is encouraging. Bitcoin has navigated hard upgrades before and come out stronger. The bigger question is whether the governance process can move at the pace the qubit timeline now seems to demand. That feels like the real race. Genuinely appreciate the no-hype framing. Bookmarking this for the next time someone sends me a "quantum computer will destroy Bitcoin" headline. Will have more as I read more but this is my first pass after reading segment 1 - great research...:)

Price is ripping. ADX at 64.58 means this is one of the strongest trends of the entire year. EMA ribbon is fully bullish on 4H — 8 above 21 above 55 above 200. MACD histogram at +636. By every momentum metric this is a freight train. And Fear & Greed is at 16. Extreme Fear. The crowd is terrified while price goes up. Here's where it gets interesting. Top traders flipped to 1.06 long. Retail is 0.86 — net short. Retail is literally shorting into the strongest trend signal of the year. There's a $106M short liquidation cluster sitting between $73,255 and $75,000. If price pushes through that zone, those shorts get liquidated and fuel more upside. But — and this is a big but — BTC is still 13.9% below the 200 EMA at $84,951. That's the macro line in the sand. Until price reclaims that level, this whole rally is technically a bear market bounce. CVD is falling while price is rising — that's bearish divergence. Someone is selling into this strength. Two things can be true at once. This can be the strongest short term trend of the year AND still be a bear market rally. The question is whether $75K breaks or $84,951 rejects. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: dustyllanos27 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1shuhgv/2_months_with_an_ai_trading_agent_full_review/ TLDR at the bottom if you don't want to read my novel. Been on 1024EX beta for 2 months. BTC/ETH momentum strategy. Started with $3k. Here's everything. \*\*Numbers:\*\* \- Month 1: +9.6% ($3,000 → $3,288) \- Month 2: +4.2% ($3,288 → $3,426) \- Total: +14.2% in 60 days \- Max drawdown (worst point): -4.1% \- Total trades: 59 \- Win rate: 56% \- Profit factor: 1.62 Month 2 was less exciting because BTC consolidated a lot. The agent traded less frequently (24 trades vs 35 in month 1). This is the correct behavior for a momentum strategy in a ranging market. \*\*What I love after 2 months:\*\* 1. Risk management is the killer app. Not returns. The agent cut my drawdowns in half compared to manual trading. 2. I sleep. I actually sleep now. Cannot overstate this. 3. The decision logs have made me a better manual trader. Reading the agent's reasoning is like having a journaling partner. 4. It doesn't get worse on bad days. My manual trading quality drops when I'm tired/stressed/angry. The agent doesn't have bad days. \*\*What still sucks:\*\* 1. UI. It's gotten slightly better but it's still not good. 2. I can't fully explain the risk model's decisions. "Elevated risk score" is not enough info. 3. Strategy tuning is trial and error. No proper backtesting for agent behavior (only for raw strategy logic). 4. Limited assets. Top 20 tokens only. 5. No mobile app. \*\*Who should try this:\*\* \- You have a trading strategy but not the time/discipline to execute it 24/7 \- You know your biggest weakness is emotional decisions \- You're okay with modest but consistent returns rather than home runs \- You want to stop waking up at 3am \*\*Who should NOT try this:\*\* \- You don't have a strategy (the agent executes, it doesn't think for you) \- You want to gamble with high leverage (the agent will fight you on this) \- You need to trade obscure altcoins \- You want a polished consumer app experience (it's not there yet) \*\*Would I recommend it?\*\* If you're in the first category: yes, but start small and spend time on your strategy description. The agent is literal — garbage in, garbage out. If you're in the second category: no, wait 6 months until the product matures. tl;dr: +14.2% in 2 months, max drawdown -4.1%, sleeps better, UI still sucks, risk management is the actual value, not the returns. happy to answer specific questions in comments. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Block reward* gets smaller! Halving of block reward every 210,000 blocks I believe, roughly every four years. I think there are less than One Million BTC still to be mined, of the original 21 Million. Will take over a century.

ryansalad

Why don't they just say that the price is 30 BTC per ship? If they say it's $2M per ship, payable in BTC, then it shows that the USD is still the currency of exchange and the payment is just a form of money laundering, (anonymous, untraceable etc...)

slickyeat

You know what else is interesting about that 1MZBude8bq6MbEoNkie2v1biYXHQEjQKPj address? There are only 2 transactions dating back to 2014. It received a single payment of .59 BTC then immediately transferred the funds out. How often do people do that if this is a legit wallet?

Your exact use case is why crypto payments exist. Custom work + in-person pickup + chargebacks is a brutal combo. Square with Lightning enabled is your fastest path since you already use Square. Zero interchange fees on BTC payments through end of 2026 and instant conversion to dollars if you don't want to hold. BTCPay Server is the self-hosted option if you want zero middleman but it takes more setup. Start with Square Lightning, test it on a few orders, and expand from there.

Colekaine

This is a kind of miserable time in the cycle where it's too high to buy and too low to sell if you aren't a DCA investor, there's people who are still coping that we aren't in a bear, the super cycle cope people, there's these weak bear rallies that run out of steam and dump. I don't think we've seen the bottom yet and expect it to go back to crabbing around the 60 range before it dumps further over the summer and finds a bottom around 40 by E0Y. It's a long way until the next halvening and we only just started the bear year. This used to just be noise for me because I would think of the space in longer terms but it's really running out of steam if the last 2 cycles gained 50k from the bottom and are going to see more diminishing returns from there, it's going to be a long time before BTC hits 1mill and next cycle would put it not even at 200k at this rate. I would love some hopium but there's a lot of uncertainty.

Post is by: ProofThatPLS and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1shobst/how_to_borrow_against_your_crypto_step_by_step/ A lot of explanations of crypto loans are vague or skip the parts that matter. Here's a concrete walkthrough with actual numbers. **Step 1: Understand LTV (Loan-to-Value).** LTV is the ratio of your loan to your collateral value. Deposit $10,000 in Bitcoin, borrow $5,000 - that's 50% LTV. Most platforms let you borrow 50–90% depending on the asset and loan term. Higher LTV = more cash but less buffer before liquidation. **Step 2: Calculate your real liquidation threshold.** Real numbers: you deposit $10,000 in BTC, borrow $6,000 (60% LTV). If BTC drops 25%, collateral is now worth $7,500. Loan is still $6,000 - LTV is now 80%. Most platforms warn around 80–85% and liquidate around 90–95%. Starting at 60% LTV, a 33% price drop puts you in danger. Starting at 50% LTV, it takes a 44% drop. That buffer matters enormously. **Step 3: Understand loan terms vs LTV.** This matters more than people realise. Shorter term = higher LTV available but a repayment deadline. Longer term = lower LTV ceiling but more time. The right choice depends on your cash flow, not just how much you want to borrow. **Step 4: Interest rates.** Typically 8–15% APR depending on platform and term. On a $5,000 loan at 12% APR for 3 months, you pay about $150 in interest. That's the cost of keeping your crypto position. **Step 5: Platform differences.** Nexo and Ledn are well-known, offer around 50% LTV on BTC. YouHodler goes up to 90% LTV on 30-day loans, Swiss-regulated. More in [r/YouHodler\_Official](https://www.reddit.com/r/YouHodler_Official/) on the specifics. **Step 6: Manage it actively.** Not set-and-forget. Check LTV every few days during volatile periods. Most platforms let you add collateral or partially repay to bring LTV down. Have a plan: at what BTC price will you add collateral? At what price will you repay early? TL;DR: Start at 50% LTV or lower, know what price triggers your liquidation, have cash ready to act. The interest is usually your smallest concern - liquidation is the real risk. Questions welcome. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That’s exactly why I’d use some BTC for it.. because those costs exist. The point isn’t to move blindly, it’s to move strategically. Even after covering visas, taxes, and setup costs, the upside can still be huge: lower living expenses, better mobility, and more long-term freedom + Growth and most importantly "SAFETY". Staying stuck with a weak passport also has a cost..it just isn’t as visible.

Calm-Professional103

Maybe Iran should pull a Bukele and be the first major country to adopt BTC as currency since for all means its own currency is worthless

SHA256-Ghost

This is a tough question, or not? Bitcoin was designed to be a digital cash payment system, so people should use it to pay for services, and the value should be stable, not being affected by the inflation. Users are supposed to calculate the value of services in coins or satoshis instead of converting the dollar value of the product or services to bitcoins. The value of the coin is steady; it is still 1BTC. The problem comes when people realize how strong the protocol is compared to the weak power of traditional money, and that a bitcoin is a good investment opportunity to protect the value of their traditional funds. But that brought a high demand, and with limited supply, the price skyrocketed. Owning bitcoins and considering their dollar value is a nice thing, but that is not what they were built for. I am so sad seeing how many people here are thinking in dollars. Bitcoin is not a good investment. The price is not growing with the time, it is still one bitcoin. If value of 1BTC is now equal to 72k dollars, and it was 27k 3 years ago, it does not mean the value of bitcoin grew almost 3 times since. It means the value of the dollar dropped to almost one third since then.

sidestyle05

“Rando on internet draws lines on a chart, predicts BTC to go up if it doesn’t go down.”

Rshellnizzle

There’s several different platforms that lend, coinbase, strike, nexo etc. just do a search and see who has the best rates and terms. You’ll have to move your BTC to the platform and let them hold it as collateral and apply for the loan or line of credit if you choose that route but usually the interest rates on a line of credit is adjustable and not good for long term like a loan.

Deposited 0.001 BTC on ViaBTC.co.uk; just to test their “wothdrawal” functionality, I withdrew the same 0.001 BTC. That worked. I deposited my 0.001 BTC again and this time tried to withdraw 0.002 BTC (I.e. more than I had). That also worked, and it started confirming on the blockchain straight away. Not complaining, but still quite a stupid bug.

You should buy coins with high growth potential now that are similar to what BTC/ETH was 10 years ago

sylsau

Nothing more and nothing less than with 1, 5, or 20 BTC. The purpose of Bitcoin is to allow you to live your life on your own terms. With 10 BTC, you'll find a way to do what truly makes you happy in life. Without needing to ask anyone else.

kingcakeaholic

In 2012 I met a dude at Starbucks and received $200 worth of bitcoin from him for something I was selling to him. He sat down with his laptop and “sent” me the bitcoin to my address. We had a coffee while the transaction gathered a couple of confirmations and boom, we were done. You can do exactly the same thing today with someone across the table or across the world on the Internet. I’d advise you to use something called a ColdCard to manage your Bitcoin wallet keys. It works great with an app you’ll run on your laptop called Sparrow. There are lots of videos by a guy named BTC Sessions on YouTube on how to set this up. Enjoy world wide payment, low fee, secure, and 10 minute irreversible settlement across the Internet.

sophie2701

just integrate a button on you website which, when clicked on, generates a random bitcoin adress to a wallet you own. same with lightning, get yourself a lightning adress with a self custodial wallet like "green wallet", and generate lightning invoices if people wanna pay via lightning. (In that case you'd get liquid BTC tho, but you can transact the liquid via lightning to any exchange account you own and it'll get transversed back into BTC, for instance you'd have to send from Green Wallet to Coinbase.)

Well.. a central pillar I keep in mind is that nothing will happen over night. Even in middle school I knew replacing modern currency would take a lifetime. So far in my life, I’ve seen crypto follow the early predictions to a T and Iran officially adopting crypto is proof of that. Just like I can’t use GPB to pay rent in the US, I can’t use BTC either, but I can use GBP for rent in the UK and BTC for oil in Iran… it’s officially been adopted by an actual government as a recognized currency. Plus when you consider the near decade of stacking Blackrock and other top .1% types have done, the slow steady climb BTC has done, and the assumed logic that billionaires won’t let the normies in until they’ve hoarded as much of the new wealth as possible… plus the increasing insolvency of fiat… Makes me dismiss your pessimism. Things are going according to plan.

I didn't say that at all. The argument was that \> The useability of cryptocurrencies and specifically of BTC is beginning to be a reality Which paired with these news just is wrong, and would actually be a counter argument. I don't think Bitcoin is doomed, but I also dont think it will become a proper fiat currency anytime soon.

That was before ETFs and Strategy, I think it will play out differently this time. We didn't have a blowoff top so maybe a 50% draw down is sufficient. Also you have to be impressed how well BTC has held up given the situation in the middle East.

I mean, i wouldn't throw everything at once, but having that 90% to throw while DCAing. 2-3 years feels more than safe to me to invest almost 90% of my savings expecting a good returns. But those returns couldnt be that good if i invested, for example, into BTC, thats why i choose ETH to post about it. Also, wouldn't invest in any other crypto than those 2. Maybe few dollars in some like SOL but really not for the long term, just for months to see what happens.

A terrorist regime bypassing sanctions with BTC. Not a good look for crypto. Just reinforces that it's used for nothing good.

But the Bitcoin that you bought in an Exchange should not give you problems... for what they use it, it will be another matter! That it can give a bad reputation to the token yes, but I don’t think that in the future it will be so negative as to devalue cryptocurrencies or BTC for example to zero...

Not sure what they think they can do with the BTC in their graves

Dependent_Code7796

I appreciate this for the double entendre, being a BTC sub and orange really does have a fantastic smell

mustafa_khalifa

why all the countries adopting BTC are the evil or failing? Iran is a Islamic Dictatorship, and that fact that they are using Bitcoin proves that today, digital assets are used mostly for illegal staff.

I'm not recommending any kind of investment. You absolute 🤡. Yeah, I'm aware of FTX collapse. So what? That's the risk I'm willing to stomach it. Who said I don't trust the project? I trust HYPE. The team literally didn't sell a single coin. It's all on-chain. Even Arthur Hayes who held and had dumped HYPE watched the team literally not selling their coins. He bought back and became bullish. HYPE tokenomics is deflationary. They use the trading fees to buybacks and burn. Everything happens in real time which you can check by yourself checking on-chain data. Am I saying that hype will be the next BTC? No, fuck that. Am I saying that HYPE is a sure thing? No, fuck that. In crypto everything is uncertain. But yeah, I believe that HYPE has the potential to dwarf SOL and compete with BNB, XRP and ETH. Am I recommending you to buy HYPE? No, screw you. You don't have the balls to go all in on ETH the wager you believe and that's why you're posting here wondering to strangers. Nobody knows shit about fuck in this space 🤡

BTC is inevitable

The useability of cryptocurrencies and specifically of BTC is beginning to be a reality

aeronauticalingrid

I hold mainly stables which I might use for real world payments and also a small amount of BTC.

TheRadishBros

I mean, the world’s largest economy now has a literal strategic reserve of BTC; you can’t get much more mainstream than that.

Keep your money for end of the year..when BTC ..will drop

Total game changer for capital efficiency. Being able to keep gold exposure while using it as margin for BTC/ETH trades is a solid move by BingX. Definitely beats letting assets sit idle

Momentum strategy on BTC. The agent is profitable (+3.1%) but it passes on SO MANY setups. Like, I can see clear breakouts that meet all my criteria and the agent just sits there. When I check the logs it's always something like "insufficient volume confirmation" or "risk-adjusted return below threshold." In the last 10 days it took 5 trades. I would have taken probably 15. On one hand — it's profitable and the trades it DOES take have a high hit rate. On the other hand, I feel like it's leaving money on the table. Anyone know if there's a way to make it more aggressive? Or is this just... the point? That it's supposed to be the disciplined version of you? starting to think the agent's biggest feature is stopping me from overtrading and I'm not ready to accept that emotionally *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If you want safe relative to crypto, there's really only BTC and ETH. Slightly more speculative you have Cardano.

brianmonarch

Not true. XRP has outperformed it in the last year or 2. Look it up. BTC just has a store of value at this point. And that might be enough for it to succeed. But if utility matters in the future, and I think it might, I’m not sure it’ll be as good of a money maker as it has been. But maybe!

0.00057053 BTC was sent to bc1qjjww43wu2e4uxxhkw3nrueyg2nljj8acn870k3 in that transaction and the transaction was confirmed. Nobody here can tell you if that is their "old address" or anything else. It honestly just sounds like somebody is scamming you.

This is a solid place to have made your first entry into this asset. If you are possibly interested in accumulating more, I would spend time learning about BTC itself and also study where it currently is compared to previous cycles and where it's going. I would also come up with some sort of accumulation strategy if you do in fact decide to continue to buy. IF this is the case, I'd also learn about self custody, how to use a cold wallet, securing seed phrases, etc. I would also accept that unless you are willing to accumulate a lot this is not going to make you rich easily and that it will take time and effort. Depending upon your budget, set goals for yourself that are reasonable instead of going to some insane target you have 0 chance of ever hitting. You will always feel left behind, but going for .01 then .025 and .1, etc. If you are living in America and serious about accumulating, you still have a very realistic shot of getting to .1+, which is a very big deal and way ahead of what the overwhelming majority of people will ever have.

What of Steve Keen's prediction on BTC hitting $0. He says the core design is flawed :-p

Apprehensive-Book787

16 years ago, 10.000 BTC got you a couple of pizzas, today it gets you 350 ships through the Strait of Hormuz… progress..
