BTC

jasonslpt

Calling it over might be early, but the map leans against a quick rip. About $15M of longs got flushed in the last hour, nearly all of it longs, and longs are still roughly 63% of open interest, so the crowd has not cleared out. There is only a thin long liquidation pocket around 81.3K to 81.4K, then a much bigger pile near 79K, and I lean toward price getting pulled down to that area. I am wrong if BTC clears 81.6K and holds above 82K, since that would squeeze the shorts stacked right overhead. Not advice.

webisticsmarketing1

want to see something interesting? Go on google keyword trends and search for terms like "Bitcoin" "BTC to usd" "Bitcoin price" and for fun you can even throw in "eth to usd" "Ethereum price" etc. Looking at this was one of the main things that finally convinced me to dump my remaining crypto recently. It really seems like the global interest and focus already came, peaked, and went during covid. I genuinely think the masses are over it.

Patrick_Atsushi

Not being able to patch up the quantum threat for BTC for all wallets. This could be considered a design flaw that might shake up BTC if not handled properly and promptly.

Sin-City-Sinner

True i remember seeing a BTC machine like 13 years ago maybe a little less, however it does not mean it’s a smart thing to use in 2026–27

Regular_Attempt_7073

Its been 15 years since BTC came on the scene and has been challenging people’s concept of value and assets. Its timeline is undetermined because no one knows the future but what we do know is that things always take longer than people expect.

I’m holding my BTC. If I would have had money last time I wanted to hold, I would be a millionaire today. 100%. I had the orders ready in 2013, but couldn’t establish the capital at that time. Now is different. I’m holding at 66k. It’s not going away. Not in this playthough. And I won’t gamble by playing the leverages game… they make it too easy to lose everything with one bad choice. If you have to gamble to work in the market, you should find another line of work…. Or a new hobby, because this isn’t a good one to dabble in. I wish I had some insider info, and that acting on said info wasn’t a felony. I need a network of people I can trust, but I can’t meet anyone anymore. Everyone is locking themselves away or getting stuck in dead end, life and souls sucking jobs that don’t even pay the bills. What is a man to do…

CyanDew

is it like buying BTC P2P from say something like Bisq, only more expensive and time consuming? or are these Bitcoin being paid out from exchanges?

cyclik

Omg. Check today’s price of BTC. That’s the catch.

SomeonesSecondary

I got into “crypto” in 2020-2021. Got burnt, got out but learned more about Bitcoin. Now I love Bitcoin and find “Crypto” to be cringe. I think anyone with a very limited knowledge of BTC who heard about NFTs, memecoins, rug pulls, and other scams is automatically going to be very wary of it all. Learning more about the history, origin, and foundational principles of Bitcoin can turn anyone with an open mind into a maximalist, but you have to be in the right headspace to want to even take in any of this information. I think a lot of us look at the price charts and see it as USD getting weaker, rather than Bitcoin rising, but that’s a worldview you have to develop

AnApexBread

Being treated like Cash instead of investment. Right now of I want to spend BTC I have to pay capital gain taxes on it.

economic-salami

Real world adoption goes hand in hand with its utility. Believe it or not BTC needs some way to do the central banking, in sense that it can do a stabilizing monetary policy.

AcanthisittaFuture38

Just as Visa and Mastercard have become dominant payment networks, accepted by virtually every merchant, Bitcoin is already well known. Now it needs to become useful in everyday life. Even many people who own BTC don’t actually want to use it; they’re just waiting for its price to go up so they can pass the “hot potato” on to someone else.

AcanthisittaFuture38

Exactly—not even people who have BTC want to have BTC; that's the biggest problem!

RyzenNinja

Strike has started doing 3.5% in BTC for the cash you store in your account. So you move your savings there then you could get your BTC through words.

Big-Cheetah5159

They accept BTC at the dealership?

AP_lookingahead

I think by this point the average person knows about BTC (it’s been heavily included in popular media, news, etc) but they just don’t care.

Rude_Difference2273

Let it become more widespread. Right now, it’s a perfect asset for those of us who believe in it; however, the day you can walk into any store and pay freely with your BTC—that’s when you’ll see a return on your investment today.

adarshhehe

To all, I don't think BTC will be valuable in the future. Some folks are just coping and expecting it to boom. No one cares about BTC anymore like it used to be. So chill the f out and do something else. Gold is valuable because, it's a physical entity. And BTC is air to common man. Gold has thousands of years of history backing it up and actual physical applications. You can hold it, wear it, and use it in manufacturing. BTC, on the other hand, is just a string of code on a decentralized spreadsheet, propped up by internet hype and tech bros trying to pump their own bags. When the economy gets genuinely rough, everyday people aren't going to scramble for tokens they can't even touch. The blockchain tech might be a neat experiment, but as a global reserve currency? It's a massive delusion. It’s time to wake up, stop gambling savings on digital ghosts. I used to be a crypto fan boy, but it's not worth it. No body cares

ughonrepeat

100% agree, in 2018 my buddy had 6 BTC. Decided to use a coin for leverage and lost it in short period. Then decided to leverage one to get the one back he just lost. Never called me for advice, at the end of the day he lost all 6. His wife was pregnant at the time but she had no clue he owned 6 to begin with so he is still married…..he told me the next day at work, said he would never touch BTC again and honestly after that conversation I never brought it up again because he must be sick to his stomach

DankShibe

Still has potential . It is decentralized, fast transactions for a PoW crypto , low energy usage ( less than BTC) and a large community. As long as BTC is around , so will Doge

Not even commenting on whether he should put it into BTC or not, but if his entire wealth was in 1 condo, then same-same. It was already in 1 asset class. He just switched assets. Time will tell whether or not he made the correct decision.

pilar-9441

One extra variable in your target math: the loan is in euros but your BTC targets are in dollars, so EUR/USD affects how much you can repay with. A BTC price target alone doesn't tell you what your holdings will be worth in euros when payments come due.

“I’ve been DCAing since Feb 2026, I put in $10 a month in and it doesn’t look like I will be able to retire by the end of the year. Is BTC over”

Queasy-Ride4291

Hell yea, in about 10,000 more years, BTC will also have a 29.1T market cap. All we have to do is wait. HODL!!!

HSuke

I meant in 2021. I remember writing a post about how it was the first time BTC price dipped below the same price after exactly 5 years.

Embarrassed_Bid3531

I mean if you are looking at it like that the elites are jumping in BTC with both feet as well so I think gov and trade fi getting in crypto at all sucks because you know it but some time away from them fucking it all up

Squeiner

This is the kind of thing I'd use a BTC backed loan for

ChuCHuPALX

Where did you spurce the BTC from that it was determined to originate from a "restricted" person?

DietOk3400

Biggest difference is that with BTC you see the price change daily. Keep that in mind, remember your “why”, hodl. Good luck sounds like a nice problem to have

tocortes

The point of the original post was basically “banks think your money is theirs” because you can't instantly withdraw $10k in cash, with the implication that BTC somehow solves this (or does not have this problem). >That depends on who you are, where you are and who you know. In almost all places where there are banks it dosen't depends on who you are and who you know. You just need money, you can store it, you can get it back. >But it's a dumb question, even from a rhetorical angle. How quickly can you transform $10k of *anything* into cash? Why is it dumb? That's exactly my point. The original post presents something as a failure of traditional banking while implying BTC solves it, when it doesn't. And seeing people applaud that argument makes me think they don't really understand how any of this works. BTC is great for many reasons, but for most people in the world, it's still not a practical replacement for everyday money. And Lightning witch can be a solution its still very hard to use We can appreciate Bitcoin without pretending it solves problems it doesn't.

jasonslpt

The friction people usually describe isn't the K-1 itself, it's the timing and the knock-on costs. K-1s often land late in tax season, which pushes filings toward extensions or amendments, and plenty of folks who self file with cheap software suddenly need a paid preparer. For spot BTC exposure most investors see a 1099 product as the default, so a K-1 structure needs a clear, measurable benefit to compete. Publishing a realistic K-1 delivery date and a plain worked example would probably remove more hesitation than any marketing would.

jasonslpt

Plenty of people are still here, they're just quieter on red days. BTC near 81.9K has longs doing almost all of the liquidating this past hour, and funding is still a touch positive, so the crowd hasn't fully flushed yet. I lean down toward 81.6K first, where roughly $457M of long liquidations sit, with a smaller pocket around 81.75K on the way. That read dies if BTC reclaims 82.1K and holds, since about $450M of shorts would get squeezed up there. Late longs are basically paying rent for everyone else. Not advice.

Easymacsauce

Depends on how you think the market is going to go. If I had $100k I’d put $50k now then set when I’d go in next. You need to set your entrance levels so you don’t FOMO. I set my limits for my two lump sums and I actually missed which was to my benefit. End of the day I believe BTC will be trading well above $150k by 2030 so a couple thousand dollars now doesn’t matter to me.

Avanchnzel

>Has anyone here used MPC wallets? How was your experience? Yeah I've been using Viltisig from the beginning. The upsides are: \- There never exists a single full key anywhere, so there are no seed words to be compromised. \- There's no single point of failure. \- You use your own hardware that you already own (smartphone, desktop, browser extension, etc.) so you don't need to buy any specialized hardware. \- You can always add or remove a device or re-distribute the key-shares without losing the underlying wallet, which makes it flexible. \- It's pretty much chain-agnostic, open-source and has undergone public audits. And in case the application gets abandoned for some reason you can use an [emergency tool](https://docs.vultisig.com/security-and-technology/emergency-recovery) to retrieve individual keys per chain (i.e. a BTC wallet key, an ETH wallet key, etc. depending on what you need). There's a user-friendly tool and a CLI tool for more technically inclined people. The downsides are: \- Slightly higher overhead for signing transactions, because you have to coordinate with multiple devices (though there is a single-device option that involves a third-party signing server that works together with a password, completely optional) \- You have to make sure to keep (optionally encrypted) backups of the key-shares for each threshold device, which is the equivalent of keeping a backup for a seed phrase. If you don't and use more devices/keys than the minimum threshold, you're fucked. (You also need to make sure not to keep the backups in the same location, but they can be encrypted with a password at least, just in case). That's from the top of my head, I'm sure I forgot some details. But yeah, it's not necessarily more secure or less, it really depends on your needs and wants.

Morkyfrom0rky

Thank you. I was just reading about this method. Still no KYC using bitrefill that I could find and a $500 apple giftcard will cost $515 in BTC. Apple only accepts 8 cards online and 20 in store

RetiredAvocado

Buy apple giftcards on bitrefill. They have a max value of $500 so you will need multiple cards. On checkout you can add several cards, or at least you could before. Double check that. Get to final checkout page to get the total and see how many codes you can add. The final difference you can pay with credit or debit card. If you never used bitrefill try smaller amounts first and read the TOS. Add 2FA to bitrefill account. Mine is pretty old and there's on option to do ID verification in it but they don't force me to do it. Not sure how they roll with new accounts on pushing for ID. And it will cost about 2% in their fees plus maybe lousy spread on market price of your BTC.

Fun_Manufacturer_122

He didn’t ask you whether it’s worth selling BTC; he’s asking how to do it. Learn to read.

BrendanRodgersss

I think the important distinction is privacy versus the safety of the coins themselves. A public server knowing your addresses doesn't give it the ability to spend your BTC, but it can still learn quite a lot about your holdings and activity. That's worth considering even for a normal holder. Your trust point is the key caveat though. Routing through your node changes who gets that information, not whether somebody gets it. I'd make that very clear in the tool.

BrendanRodgersss

It's understandable to feel that loss even if you never lived there. Having a place you've owned for 12 years is a different kind of security from having an investment account. The one thing I'd make sure of is keeping enough liquid cash for your travel and living expenses so a BTC downturn never forces you to sell at a bad time. Hope the next chapter treats you well.

strangegod

Buy $worthless coin it’s paired to BTC

BrendanRodgersss

I'd separate Lightning spending from anything described as BTC staking. Bitcoin doesn't have native proof-of-stake rewards, so most BTC yield products introduce some additional counterparty, lending or wrapped-asset risk. That's very different from using Lightning to pay someone. Holding for savings and spending small amounts where LN is accepted aren't mutually exclusive either.

Efficient_Range1156

I literally sold MY M4 max 48 GB ram macbook a week ago for 0.03BTC

Signal-Fig-2952

The easiest way to sell BTC is through a CEX. I personally would just take a loan against it, since that’s tax free.

KIG45

Alright, the decision has been made. Now, all that remains is to adequately secure your BTC, so that you don't end up with nothing at some point. I hope you know how to protect yourself properly. Good luck!

0a0d0s0

Good idea. I also think $500,000 in BTC is far too big an advantage in 2013. Time for some changes!

Bakkus1987

Do this shit if you wanna lose your BTC

Professional_Tea4502

It’s not, I buy BTC every week so I caught all the low 60s which is the low of the bear market. We have already bottomed this cycle. You clearly aren’t good at reading charts 📈

bjm3384

I live in New York also and have been trying to find away around this problem for a while. I was able to find that Speed wallet works well. It accepts traditional BTC and lightning. I also mine Bitcoin from my phone on GoMining. It’s free to sign up and earn bitcoin daily. Currently New York users can’t deposit or withdraw but I’m still earning for the future and will withdraw once the state turns its head around on crypto https://gomining.com/?ref=MINEWITHPURPLE

Rav_3d

Why not use BTC or similar ETF?

CyanDew

bitrefill is dope as f. in the event that you’re cut off or somehow shunned away from using a U.S. bank account, prepaid cards paid in BTC is pretty clutch.

lus1d

Or wrap ur BTC and borrow usdt at an easy 50% lvr and buy ur stonks.

lus1d

Exactly! Portfolio should be balanced across all sectors….. BTC, L1 Dino coins, DeFi, Memes, CEX Tokens, Governance coins, Utility tokens, RWA

lus1d

I’m not a fan of looping, but you could always use it as margin on a CEX and get a leveraged long position. Let’s say price around $80k and you know deeply and profoundly and spiritually we are never going to see $40k again (lol) throw it into an exchange, and take a long position of 1 BTC for a couple years till the next peak. Close your long in say December 2028, you (probably) still have your 0.5 plus you have the additional profit of riding 1 BTC from 80k to 200k. Woohoo I wanted to do this from $16k to $100k with funds pulled out of my mortgage….. but I chickened out 😂 🐓

audiomediocrity

Last time I checked the BTC ATM, it also wanted a drivers license

Huge_Position890

Good question, so I checked it. The split rule and my guess were written down before I ran it. The question itself came after the post, though, so treat this as a follow-up rather than a pre-registered test. Each day I split coins into thirds by their past 30-day trading volume and re-ran the same regression inside each third, in both periods. **Next 7 days vs the average coin, per 10% coin-specific move:** ||small|mid|large| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |after a pump, 2022–26|−2.2%|−2.0%|−3.1%| |after a pump, 2019–21|−4.4%|−2.1%|−0.4% (not significant)| |after a drop (further fall), 2022–26|−0.6%|−1.1%|−3.3%| |after a drop (further fall), 2019–21|−1.4%|−1.9%|−2.2%| Your mechanism fits the pump side better than the drop side: * **Pumps:** in 2019–21 the largest third's pumps didn't fade at all, while small coins gave back a lot. That's where size matters. * **Drops:** the continuation shows up in every size group in both periods. In 2022–26 it's actually strongest in the largest third (large vs small difference, t = 4.6). So it isn't mainly a "small altcoin with nothing underneath" effect. My own guess was also that drops would continue less in large coins, and that was wrong too. **BTC and ETH on their own:** * **BTC pumps:** BTC-specific pumps fade over the next week in both periods. A BTC-specific pump means BTC beating what the market and its own characteristics predicted that day. In 2022–26 that's −2.7% per 10% (95% CI −4.5% to −0.9%); in 2019–21 it's −5.7% (CI −10.9% to −0.5%). * **BTC/ETH drops:** the intervals are too wide to say anything. Their coin-specific moves are small (daily residual sd \~2.2–2.6%, vs \~4–5% for the median coin), so there isn't much signal to work with. One caveat on "large": it means the top third of Binance spot pairs by volume (\~110 coins a day in 2022–26, median \~$13M a day), not just BTC and ETH. Why would large coins' own drops keep going longer? I don't know. One guess is that a large coin rarely falls on its own without real news (an exploit, an unlock, a regulatory story), and news takes time to sink in. I can't separate news days yet, so that's untested.

thrwaway1614211

Really depends on your outlook. As you correctly identified, the days of the crazy gains are long gone. Personally I profited from BTC in the last decade, but would not invest in it now. Since there are no real fundamentals, it is purely hype driven speculation..... and the hype is just kinda gone. The crazy upside is gone and you can make much bigger gains with the AI plays, which means much of the speculation money has shifted from BTC to those stocks. But at the same time it's also not stable enough for the passive investors. So what's the point of investing in it? In the absolute and quite unlikely bull case I would expect at most a 2x - 3x in the next 5 years, but this moderate gain still comes with huge risk. In the end it's your decision, but just don't get fooled by people posting crazy CAGR percentages which track btc since the inception. If you look at rolling window charts, the CAGR has completely collapsed and sits around 12% for the last 5 years and still trending down.

thrwaway1614211

This is such a stupid argument. If the only reason for BTC/USD increase is devaluation of USD due to inflation, then BTC did not rise at all....

Agreeable_Ant769

BTC, LINK,… Du hast meiner Ansicht nach das Richtige getan.

Consistent_Sea6490

Push to 1 BTC!!! Last effort!

Zhytaleks

That actually makes sense to me. When a stock drops, there's still a real business behind it that might attract buyers. But with many altcoins, once people lose confidence, there's not much stopping the price from falling further. I wonder if this pattern holds for BTC and ETH too, or mostly smaller coins?

stay_safe_and_calm

0.5 BTC a good number? f you get sick tomorrow, that will barely cover the first doctor's bill.

iLikeEggzzzzz

Personally I buy BTC almost weekly. But then I end up selling it and trading it for a few other Cryptos that I think have more potential to make me more money. It's a gamble, but I don't mind taking the risk right now. Maybe in a few years I'll stick to the safer stuff. To each their own.

TheVeloRebel

He should be talking about it, everyone will be talking about it in multi year succedssion. Vote consensus will eb around how to upgrade and what to adopt. BTC is slow moving, it needs a good head start and that means now lol

Even-Temperature3103

Kind sir, my post is total sarcasm 🙄 lol. I share your view and hodl on. Walmart doesn't even know what BTC is. 🙏

HesMyButlerMonroe

I'm right there with you, brother. Sold my house in 2025 and bought BTC with the proceeds. Been living on the road ever since and enjoying the freedom so far!

TheresNoSecondBest

>How do you use your Bitcoin? Saving in Bitcoin is "using it" too. Anyway, here's how spending bitcoin IRL looks like: https://youtu.be/Tlhvnpi2ukA I'm "using Bitcoin" almost on a daily basis. Buying groceries, paying for meals, taxis, domains/hosting, VPN... Spend and replace is usually the name of the game so no, I'm not spending bitcoin while saving in cash. If you're thinking about spending some, here are my favorite directories: https://btcmap.org - awesome map, you can even add your local vendors in, once you orangepill them. https://spend-sats.com/ https://spendabit.co/ 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.

Big-Cheetah5159

That’s only because BTC is down and he bought at a higher price. I know some people that bought at the recent low of 60k and aren’t complaining.

TheSquattingSlav_21

So we’re just going to ignore smart contracts and the plethora or decentralized service options this is going to lead to, which BTC doesn’t have the infrastructure for, much faster block times, and power efficiency of POS? You are an embarrassment to this community lol

Fun_Spinach7872

The blockchain is too slow and clunky. Requires a metric fuckton of energy every five seconds to keep the antiquated BTC blockchain alive. I've bought bitcoin at under $1700 and at $50,000. It's done well as a digital store of value but it's the floppy disk or walkman of crypto. We've invented better and faster blockchain technologies. But Bitcoin will remain the Mac daddy of crypto. Albeit a gray haired senior citizen Mac daddy.

nassauboy9

Give me 10 BTC and I'll accept the shame.

Interesting_Loss_907

Do you know anyone at all IRL who has BTC? If so, just ask them if they can sell you some. They can transfer to any wallet address you generated.

BeaverSack

This is the right move. I’m bullish on BTC in the short term but surely nobody here actually believes anyone will be holding bitcoin 100 years from now. Make your money while you can. Bitcoin has value, but most of what you see here is parrots rehearsing tribalist bullshit.

GalaxyDefender1x

is there a ME TOO for people that is losing money with BTC

MuscularFrog13

I’ve been in since 2016 and have bought more BTC in the last 6 years than when it was sub 50k due to having better career opportunities. Just keep DCA-ing and you’ll be fine. The value of bitcoin will outpace inflation any day

Snowman33001

Worth noting MSTR has outperformed BTC since the company started its acquisition strategy. With that said, no company is as pure as Bitcoin.

MatchboxVader22

.5 BTC is a great amount to have. Just hodl it.

Weird-Web7456

Well said. I messed day trading in my mood 20’s. Got into BTC at $56k 2.5 years ago ish.. added substantially at $60k last month bc personally a believe the bottom is in. Added again at $766 I’m 43 now and the last 10 years I just watch for good companies near their 52 week low then buy and hold, (got PLTR at $30), that one has helped alot. Of course I spent a long time living cheap and saving every dollar I could. But BTC is the future, it is early. I sold my stocks and if this bull run hits an ATH of $250k. I’m off to some beach somewhere with the golf clubs and better half. Best of luck. No one is promised tomorrow. Love reading a post about enjoying the here and now!! Good on you!

TexFarmer

The gold bugs say the same thing about BTC, too!

GalaxyDefender1x

BTC is not for everybody. I have only lost money with BTC this year... instead I am up 18% at the stock market. I think that the people that made money with BTC will keep making money, everybody else is now late to the party. I hope I am wrong because I plan to keep the BTC I bought, I invested in BTC with money I dont need right now but it feels sad seeing you lose money with BTC and everything else is going up.

throwaway12three4

My god tier advice is to not be stupid. There is no magic button to make tons of easy money or easy BTC. It simply is not a thing. I was bored so I pulled a who is report for you. If you want to help so badly, here is the email for the domain registration: abuse@namecheap.com. Go email them and have the site removed.

BowDown2No1ButCrypto

Id rather throw my money at BTC than something that gives me a short-term dopamine rush!

BowDown2No1ButCrypto

What's the point of buying BTC then?! Cuz that's what we're all striving for...eternal riches my guy!

Airspeed-X

I think some people are in overdrive when it comes to stacking BTC and others are still in first gear. Find your cog that suits you and go with it. Id never pass up a good vacation with my family or a large purchase to make future memories in lieu of stacking btc. Still have to live

mozy-rama

The early investors or "OG" Bitcoiners are the ones who have been rewarded greatly. Those astronomical gains once seen are dimenishing as time passes. As you have mentioned.. the gains are getting less-and-less. Breaking down the Price for All-Time-Low & All-Time-High for BTC in each 4 year market, DCA method will continue to work if investing weekly or monthly: Binance Exchange - ATH & ATL for each 4-year BTC Market Cycle: \* Dec 17, 2017 - $19,798.00 \* Dec 10, 2018 - $3,610.00 \* Nov 10, 2021 - $69,000.00 \* Nov 9, 2022 - $15,588.00 \* Oct 6, 2025 - $126,999.00 \* Current Price today on Oct 18, 2026 - $81,758.00 The reason why you should stack BTC is due to the following reasons: \- 1.) Scarcity. Only 21 million BTC coins will ever exist. Some BTC cannot be accessed as individuals either lost their seed or passed away (deceased) without providing access to family estate to BTC wallet. \- 2.) Government & Corporate entities are purchasing large amounts of BTC to add to their balance sheet or "Bitcoin Reserves". \-- There are approximately 19 US States that are currently discussing proposed legistation on establishing a Crypto Reserve Framework. Texas is the only US state to have an actual "Bitcoin Reserve" established. Arizona is seizing unclaimed digital assets but not liquidiating (similar to United States setup). New Hampshire has authorized state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of public funds into alternative assets (limited to BTC at the moment). More states will adopt similiar Crypto Framework mentioned above as BTC matures. As BTC matures, more and more BTC will be gobbled up by the large insitutions leaving less BTC available for the common jane and joe like us to purchase BTC. Once everyone figures out what BTC really is, everyone is going to want to jump in to buy what they can. By the time Banks will recommend the average person to buy BTC, BTC will be worth $10 million per coin. Even though BTC has existed for 17-18 years, we're all very early. We're probably about 50% the way to massive adoption. Here's an excellent YouTube video I would recommend to watch with great explanation of why BTC is the solution to your mentioned concerns (e.g. US Debt, Inflation, etc.) coming directly from a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2BYyhHO5-A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2BYyhHO5-A) Check out some of YouTube content made by: Rajat Soni, CFA. I highly recommend them. Good luck in your quest to financial freedom! Cheers!

Alright and? Also 0.5 to you may be like 0.05 or 5.00 to someone else. You talk about a personal trainer and buying a car, etc. Half of a BTC or 0.5, at current price wouldn't even cover the average cost of a new vehicle. The only reasons to quit buying would be if you're overexposed and trying to reallocate/rebalance your portfolio, going into retirement, or losing faith in bitcoin, and if you're losing faith in it, you must never truly have understood what bitcoin was/is, in the first place. I'll stack throughout retirement because ideally I have surplus income during retirement and can continue to reinvest to my death bed, leaving behind generational wealth.

I think tjd market and BTC will flatline until the election results are known.

If I were you, I would tax harvest the current loss (if you hold spot BTC and your jurisdiction allows) and deploy that 30k right now.

i would dca maybe half or a third of your 30k, say… weekly until you see a better time to lump the other sum into BTC at say, anywhere near the moving averages currently around lower than 80k. don’t get greedy and sit around hoping for a sub 70k Bitcoin. pay attention to the 50 week moving average. if you ask me, i’ve been trying to keep a cost basis around there for the past 6 months.

The argument is that a more digital world could drive greater demand for Bitcoin while its supply stays capped. That could help it outperform gold or stock indices, but scarcity alone doesn’t guarantee that people have to keep wanting it. Then there’s the long-term question, can BTC survive quantum computing, superintelligent AI agents, or whatever the fuck comes our way between 2030 and 2040? Those are the assumptions worth questioning and the threats worth stress-testing against.

Just HODL. You just picked the wrong possible period of time to start doing it, but still, you will get big money in the future. Just trust in BTC. It will only get more valuable with time.

If I understand correctly, when it hits $100 they issue new STRC shares and those get sold and the proceeds are used to buy BTC. This is the same deal with SATA. So for this whole thing to work, STRC and SATA have to be quite consistently at $100. In fact, they rarely are. So these companies are just paying out dividends and not getting anything for it.

What about Lightning Network? /S BTC Maxies have reached peak ignorance and arrogance. BTC is one of the only coins that DOESN'T scale. Look at Solana, Ethereum, BCH, DOGE, etc. All have 1000x the capacity of the pathetic BTC chain. And mining BTC is so expensive, the fees go to the moon once every few months.

Tell me you're losing money gambling without telling me you're losing money gambling. We're near peak BTC Maxi ignorance and here you are. Pride before a fall.

lobhater

Yeah def. Putting everything you have into 1 asset is idiotic. Diversify. But instead of gambling on options I buy BTC instead. If it crashes or never goes anywhere oh well. If it skyrockets great maybe I can retire a few years earlier

Inexperience people are selling out of fear. BTC will still climb up, just time will tell.

I just keep my BTC on CB. Right on the platform. Up to $20k at least, anything else gets stored in an ancient bread wallet I’ve owned literally forever. It’s been safe for over 10 years. Just saying its worked for me in my experience at least… I’m glad I didn’t get a Trezor now, I almost did about a year ago. 😮‍💨

I put traders in a different catagoring than DCA and hold. I know that if I started trading BTC that I will be left with nothing very quick. It's a skillset paired with luck that I do not have.
