Most people use map-based directories that show local merchants accepting BTC. Search for Bitcoin merchant maps and you'll find a few solid options.
Here are my favorite directories: http://lightningnetworkstores.com/ https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://acceptlightning.com/list.html https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ https://directory.btcpayserver.org/ There's also an option of buying gift cards https://thebitcoincompany.com/ https://bitrefill.com https://www.egifter.com/buy-gift-cards-with-bitcoin - this one's least fave because they use a shitty custodian for payments but are handy for a few cards. Spend and earn some sats back: https://foldapp.com - save up to 20% Starbucks, Uber, Target , whole foods , Dunkin https://www.lolli.com – save up to 30% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily USA stores https://satsback.com/stores-list - save up to 20% by spending BTC anywhere but primarily Europe stores.
Funds and banks are the ones deliberately driving the price. With the creation of BTC ETFs, they buy and sell according to their own agenda. We retail investors don't really influence the price.
It's interesting that companies linked to BTC are now coming forward to talk about inflation and BTC as a safe haven against it. But they didn't start saying this until September 2026 and not during the entire downturn.
Sounds like a good idea. BTC could hit 70k but it will surely go back up. This expert technical analysis guru has it going to 250K for bitcoin. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5hEPMow\_X8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5hEPMow_X8)
The BPL is BTC price ($)= c.(t^m) and has been following this trajectory for over 10 years. If the value of the $ collapses does it means the value of bitcoin collapses?
Remember that we’re measuring BTC in terms of dollars. Dollars consistently lose value over time. Maybe that’s why we have diminishing peaks relative to the channels. And things can get closer and closer to 1.0000 without ever reaching it. You could have smaller and smaller returns infinitely without hitting 1. Not saying this will happen with BTC, just saying that diminishing returns doesn’t automatically equal eventual losses. It could just mean stability, with any value increases just being the relative value losses of the dollar we’re using to measure BTC.
I think it's a real shame you did that. The value of one BTC is immeasurable right now. If this cryptocurrency bill passes. it will bring about even greater changes.

what a coincidence, i just send all my BTC to a Nigerian prince who is going to send me back double tomorrow
For me, (historically) it looks like the last "peak" was not the real peak, because of its "flatness". It looks more like consolidation for the REAL peak. The 100k was (is) a significant psychological barrier. BTW I dont have BTC in my wallet, dont plan to buy, but I play with other tokens, which are obviously connected with BTC price. So fingers crossed for BTC-holders.
The guy that forecasted BTC $200-250k Dec 2025
Another option to compare is Cambio. I work for Cambio, so obvious disclosure. The flow is basically what you're describing: select the USDC network you're actually sending from, enter your native BTC receiving address, get the quote, then send the USDC. No exchange account is required. The important part is selecting the correct USDC network because USDC exists on several chains. Compliance/risk screening still applies and verification can be requested if a transaction is flagged. [https://cambio.one/?utm\_source=reddit](https://cambio.one/?utm_source=reddit)
Lloyds is probably your best high street option since they don't publish caps on crypto payments. Call them before the first big transfer so fraud doesn't freeze it. Revolut usually allows exchange payments, but expect checks as a new account. Monzo caps it at £5k a month. For just BTC exposure, crypto ETNs are open to UK retail now. You buy through a normal broker so the bank never sees a crypto payment, though you don't hold the actual coins. Incoming from exchanges is rarely an issue. Even Chase accepts it while blocking everything outgoing. Also if you're buying in a few chunks over time, HMRC averages your cost across all of it, so keep a record of every buy. A spreadsheet's fine at that size. Tax tools like Bitcoin.tax and trackers like Chain Glance only really earn their keep once you're spread across multiple exchanges and wallets.
I mean, dollars have been parabolic down over the last century with no signs of reversing. Hyperinflation is still a very real possibility around the world. If even a substantial fraction of global trade gets priced in BTC after dollar hyperinflation, those numbers make a lot more sense. I'm not disagreeing with the diminishing returns theory, I've just never seen it actually modeled like this before and was surprised to see it isn't confirmed yet and we are still in the first channel by the skin of our teeth
Did you expect BTC to go parabolic forever? I don’t think 1 BTC being worth quadrillions makes sense.

Three months is barely enough time for crypto to invent a new acronym, so I’d stick with BTC or stay in fiat rather than gamble on an altcoin.
The Crypto Dad posts great videos on YouTube, but they seldom focus exclusively on BTC. There's really not much of a reason why you need to be following 'news' or price speculation re: BTC. That being said, guys like The Crypto Dad have been very helpful in alerting BTC owners about the shoddy firmware that had been published for the BTC-only Coldcard hardware wallets, and teaching them about how to safely migrate their BTC.
Why is this in r/bitcoin? BTC isn't going to help you to avoid property taxes.
Lol, that's funny. I'm hopeful that BTC will reach 1M in the future but definitely not expecting it to be anytime soon.
Better get used to the feeling that BTC will never ever be 100k again, if the AI bubble pops in 4 months or less. Pumptober lol, you are lucky if it doesn't dip below 40 before eoy.
When I was starting to learn about BTC, I found all the sources on YT. There's one guy, Andreas Antonopoulos, on YT and he explains everything in depth. However, if you wanna start investing, learn about wallets and how to store your BTC.
moving the same coins between accounts you own isn't a sale, so the transfer itself generally isn't taxable. Two things to watch. The network fee: if it's paid in BTC, that small amount can be treated as a disposal, so it's worth noting even though it's tiny. The bigger one is cost basis. Cash App won't know what you paid on Kraken, so if you sell there later its tax form may show the basis as missing. Download your Kraken trade history before you move, and keep it with the transfer record so you can match them up at tax time.
Just buy IBIT in the Roth. The good news is, you can sell at the top of the cycle if you want and you don’t pay capital gains, rebuy in the bear market. If you’re playing the BTC cycle trade, IBIT in Roth is the move.
These are the speculative bags. Most in BTC and ETH.
This post DOES NOT APPLY if you have only been in BTC for 1-3 years. A LESSON for you newbs learning - BTC was at $10K during COVID and went up to $65K in that one year alone (crazy gain$), and by the summer of 2022, it leveled back down at $20K (crazy Lo$$) a BTC - so $60-65K was the sweet spot, and has been so for a while. But that level was a key moment. (Do your homework). Now, $100K, the moon!🌙, yes, a lot of us made it. Wow!!….but then, it went back to $65K (felt like a crazy Lo$$ mentally) and guess what!…now it’s poppin back up to $100K. Enjoy the ride. Don’t be a fart and sell your stash, stick to the plan (HODL), and DCA (what you can) and wait. The rest of you, just sell, take your screenshot of your sale, save it for 3-5 years from now for a “HAD I” segment and start again. Whales 🐳…ummm 🫡 thanks for the lessons over the MANY life cycles. Man….Had I just….🤣 🧡
Well yea its literally a shitcoin. What do you expect? Look at LINK/BTC dude...
BTC will never have everyone already jumped in, even though it is still growing. And the new money comes from the money printer ;)
Yup. I am thinking of dumping all ETH for BTC. I already dumped half earlier today. Looking at price charts, BTC is the vastly superior investment.
They say to only invest in crypto if you can afford to lose it all. BTC has no guarantees, but being debt-free gives you a lot more options. Clean up that line of credit first - the interest you pay is money lost. If you love Bitcoin, pay off the LoC and then buy BTC with the amount you would have been paying in interest. That way your total is going up, at least it is always green even if value drops.
yep BTC is about to dump, the memes are just getting dumb at this point; hold on to your butts!
Hey it was only 10,000 BTC. At the time the pizza was worth more
Yes you can transfer from one wallet address on an exchange to another wallet address on an exchange. So in your case you’d just have to establish a new wallet address on whatever new exchange you’re moving to. Once you have that new address, in Kraken you will send BTC to (insert new wallet address you just got from new exchange). As a best practice, you can first attempt to send a small amount just to make sure the transaction goes smoothly before sending the rest, or full amount.
Hopefully that BTC short did well for ya….
I don’t think BTC, ETH will pump that much even through EOY but I think SOL and smaller utility alts will in a few weeks and continue through EOY. Not to say BTC, ETH won’t but it will be the lower side of all expectations…I think others will be mid to high expectations

BTC has definitely made more numb to changes in markets.
the real flex will be buying the iPhone 30 for 0.0000001 BTC and still complaining about the price
People always panic during geopolitical conflicts and rush into traditional safe havens, buy BTC recovers and outperforms everything once the dust settles.
Try moving a few BTC from one ledger to another. It's legitimately traumatizing to be in sole control of that much money, and not really worth the risk any longer for the majority of people.
> What would be the point of the wallet if Im not going to withdraw from it? Long term savings . You will eventually withdraw from it by restoring the seed in a secure matter but you won't occasionally make transactions from it. >Im not really thinking about sending money to people anyway and in case of needing a money I might withdraw money from it so what should I do Depends upon how often you transact. Perhaps keep a separate wallet with some emergency BTC funds so you don't dip into your cold storage
It’s always weird to see that initial pop based on some news headline and then the BTC market go “aw never mind”
I think the whitepaper is a bit technical, especially for beginners. I think the best thing any beginner can do before diving into BTC technicals is read up on and understand the evolution of currency/value; get a good sense for what money actually is, and then start learning about how compute and encryption enabled the creation of BTC to not only persist tx data in a redundant way, but to solve the double-spend problem. After getting a good understanding of this, then start diving into BTC/blockchain technicals. Learn self-custody, private key encryption, UTXO sets, etc.
Pretty solid list, but there's no BTC or ETH in there at all. Alts tend to move together, so if the market pulls back they'll probably all drop at the same time. I'd keep some kind of base in BTC or ETH and let the alts be the fun part.
Lapsecoin: fun new project. Just stacking. I’ve stacked quite a few of little ones actually. Some listed, some not. But I need a much larger amount of belief to actually buy. Some I’ve bought: BTC, XLM, ETH, SOL
I would drop: SUI - still got a lot of dilution ahead. Quant - sell the current pump I don't think it will last. Cronos - I don't like exchange related coins and it also has a dilution problem. Would replace them with BTC, SOL, and XLM
I no longer DCA, instead I am opening multiple positions with 3x/4x leverage while we are -30% from ATH. That way when BTC doubles from here (approx 170k, not too crazy a taget) I will have oustized returns which I can use to add to my spot BTC. I’d gain more BTC for the same fiat invested.
BTC charts really have two settings: “I’m a genius” and “why did I do this to myself?” 😭
I don’t check BTC anymore. I just open the app, take emotional damage, and close it.
What datasets were used to train these agents? I'm fairly confident that if BTC was used today as as a unit of exchange more so than a store of value than these agents would have come to different conclusions.
Money isn't the same as religion. It exists as an agreement between us all to make transactions more convenient (rather than trading chickens). Fiat or BTC could potentially fulfil the same function, but everyone knows how fiat transacts, so it has a branding headstart.
It's naive to want BTC to be purely utility driven and organically adopted. Even animals in nature have useless (as far as utility go) evolutions but help them in marketing. Look at all the bright colors some males have to be in order to attract a mate. Marketing/Branding/Reach has real world value, even if you think it's often done for impure reasons (which it is but not exclusively).
BTC is getting more stable. Bear markets and bull markets will become softer and softer while the trend continues to move higher, not just because BTC becomes more valuable but also because fiat becomes more worthless. Eventually cycle ranges will be so contained that it will start to be seen as a stable vehicle to store value and I guess it will be then when it becomes a globaly accepted and used. Then if will be a standard of payment and value store.
How will I doom scroll with 0.024 BTC?
First decide whether you actually want more BTC or just feel like this small position needs to "do something." I wouldn't chase yield with it. If the goal is simply long-term ownership, learn basic self-custody and add slowly with money you can leave alone. The easiest way to complicate a simple hold is turning it into some leveraged yield experiment.
The thing I'd add is a base rate. BTC has closed positive over a random 90 day window more often than not since 2018, so 8 of 11 might be less of an edge than it looks. And with only 11 and 7 episodes, one or two results going the other way would flip the whole story.
# gain of $24,000 is for 1.000000 BTC traded; if traded and if in at the right moment...
“Free electricity” definitely changes the calculation, but I still wouldn't use the miner's advertised daily revenue as the decision metric. I'd calculate: hardware cost ÷ expected net mining revenue and then stress-test it for: • increasing network difficulty • declining BTC price • pool fees • cooling • hardware failure • the miner becoming inefficient relative to newer ASICs Solo mining isn't a scam. It's just extremely high variance — basically exchanging regular small pool payouts for a tiny chance of finding an entire block yourself.
The thing I’d understand completely before doing this is the liquidation mechanism. Interest rate matters, but with BTC collateral I’d want to know the liquidation threshold, whether liquidation is partial or total, how quickly you can add collateral, and what fees apply if it happens. Borrowing against a volatile asset can look very safe until the collateral drops quickly.
At this point the interesting part isn’t even another BTC purchase. It’s watching how Strategy keeps using different pieces of its capital structure to finance the overall Bitcoin strategy. The financing mechanics are becoming almost as interesting as the accumulation itself.
The largest addresses on the blockchain are cold storage vaults belonging to major cryptocurrency exchanges and spot ETF providers. These single entities hold funds on behalf of tens of millions of everyday retail investors. Treating an exchange wallet as a single "king" is like looking at a bank vault and concluding the vault manager is the richest person in the world. Bitcoin operates entirely on proof-of-work consensus. Holding a massive stack of Bitcoin grants exactly zero authority to alter the network's rules, inflate the fixed 21-million supply cap, or censor transactions. The network is secured by miners and maintained strictly through node-enforced governance. A whale with 100,000 BTC is bound by the exact same consensus rules as a user running a node on a cheap laptop. The economic study factors in decades-old dormant supply without adjusting for permanently inaccessible coins. Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated 1.1 million untouched BTC, alongside roughly 3 to 4 million early coins lost to hardware failures and forgotten private keys, are statistically counted as concentrated wealth held by elite early adopters. In reality, these defunct UTXOs effectively reduce the overall circulating supply, rather than serving as usable capital for a centralized entity. The authors evaluated base-layer on-chain data to assess wealth distribution and transaction volume. As adoption grows, daily retail activity and micropayments migrate to layer-two scaling solutions. Consequently, on-chain volume naturally skews toward massive, batched settlements by institutions and exchanges. This makes the base layer look artificially top-heavy to traditional economists, while entirely ignoring the distributed, high-volume peer-to-peer economy operating above it.
You're such a loser bro. I am doing 30% BTC while the other 70% is Bitcoin
Keep DCAing through a reputable exchange and move the BTC to self-custody as the stack grows.

So a significant part of the value proposition is marketing? Doesn't sound like a currency to me.. sounds more like a product I don't want to be selling to the greater fool retail investor. I want to be selling to the governments that came late to the party and realised their mistake in trying to regulate it out of existence. The previous extremes of the peaks and troughs have been created by press exposure that call for its death or claim its going to millions, but that is the exaggerated elements of the natural moves it makes due to the properties that give it a value proposition in the first place Yes there is a place for people to talk about BTC, but as I said in another reply, sorting the wheat from the chaff is exhausting, so ignoring it all is the best way to remain safe when you understand BTC
Respectfully, There’s nothing wrong with any of the channels. It’s a space for anything regarding BTC. While a lot of it is complete and utter non sense, it’s important that people are talking about and using BTC for what it is. Of course the price prediction videos are for clicks, But if everybody single person just “bought, hodl, wait” then BTC is useless. BTC needs to generate mass scale adoption and any and everyone talking about it draws in more attention every day.
In a bear market that is the BTC we know, no matter how many Strategy buys
Joe Consorti James MoneyZG Ben Cowen Simply Bitcoin BTC sessions
The MSTR sub believes that mNAV will grow much higher than 1 like in the last cycle, but I have yet to see any logic explaning why it should continue to do so. Logically, mNAV should be much lower this cycle for multiple reasons: 1. Diminishing returns on BTC growth every cycle 2. Strategy is now actively arbitraging between BTC and MSTR price in a way that reduces mNAV and increases BPS. BPS and mNAV are negatively correlated, and Strategy's goal is to maximize BPS. 3. STRC investors are no longer just blindly buying it, so the STRC ATM is less profitable than before. Originally, STRC was supposed to be the golden goose that increases mNAV.
Yeah fair point People discussing the tech I'm all aboard with, just that signal to noise ratio is skewed WAY towards noise, so I tuned it all out years ago I just found that trying to pick the 1% of good content out of 99% of scammer stuff wasn't worth the effort, so turned it all off I'm only replying to this BTC reddit because I'm on a new account and haven't blocked it yet :) Seeing how the current landscape is before going grumpy old man
here’s the caveat though austin: money **doesn't need** global adoption to be considered money, it just needs **a community that actually uses it to trade.** Bitcoin already has that. just because it’s early on the spectrum, doesn’t mean it’s NOT money. prison cigarettes were money until it was banned from prisons. money is **whatever a community settles on** for trading, and it can change when conditions change. ramen didn't need global adoption to become prison money, it just needed the people in that system to accept it. you’re conflating whether Bitcoin is money with its level of adoption. two entirely different things. it’s very easy to say it’s not money when you only look at it through the lens of someone who strictly uses other forms of money. but that doesn’t change the fact that IT IS money for some, and therefore it can be money for all. especially Bitcoin, considering it’s permissionless, open source, and has no issuing government. nobody can tell you that you can’t own Bitcoin, use it to exchange for goods/services, or price things in BTC.
US signing the GENIUS Act into law last year, while not exactly being bullish on BTC, it is extremely bullish on crypto and in a way, creates the possibility/path of an official US coin being minted one day The US effectively said "we can't beat crypto, so we'll join them and make the rules" which is writing on the wall for what the govt expects will happen in the next decade with crypto, in the US and across the world Gold and (farm)land prices are controlled by the govt, no way they'd inflate the prices just because, and both aren't as finite as BTC believe it or not I'm no crypto bro but the US govt signing on to crypto and writing law around it is more than enough to prove BTC will continue to grow in value and the US would like a piece of that action, they will try very hard to usurp BTC as the no 1 cypto, and it might work someday, but that will only cement BTC's value even more
How do I begin to stack BTC? Just started getting into crypto in general so not sure where to read up and get educated
I put in an annual spend of $150k, and starting with 60 BTC and retiring now with 45 years until death. In 'reality' which you referenced in a comment telling someone 'welcome to reality' I could sell those 60 BTC today and retire forever with that $5m, pulling down $150k annually. Your model suggested I would need 885BTC starting funds. That's about $73m worth of BTC. The model is super-duper-broken and you're being snarky to people. It's making you look like a twat.
