BTC

Wizzard_2025

Just to say, the BTC doesn't automatically move to you. It's not yours, even if you do recover it.

No_Bunch_6707

I went to the 2026 BTC conference and met a woman (I lost her business card) who works for a company that specializes in digital asset recovery. Worth giving them a call, of course recovery comes with a fee so you should ask what they could do for your particular situation and for what cost. Here is their website - www.unciphered.com; I’d give these guys call if I was in your shoes.

GoElastic

what are the chances this guy would have posted anything if BTC is at 200k$ now?

Huge-Discussion-9507

Bought 3 BTC at $3,800 in 2019 and don’t feel a need to sell anytime soon

ElderMight

Ouch. How much are you down in ETH/BTC?

cool-lala

I am not even if bubble burst with Claude ipo or OpenAI ipo money has to go somewhere I think that is bull case for BTC to 600k

autoencoder1

Yup ! That’s the way … I bought at $250 but sold too early in 3ks then it ran to 10k .. then dropped to 3.5 then I bought again and sold at 10k !!! And never saw those levels again .. this train will leave 60s station permanently at some point and will only accelerate beyond last ATH and clock another ATH … remember the supply is constrained and less than 5% of the world own BTC ! … if it goes to 10% the price will go exponentially up not linear 2x but multi X

Foreigntragedy

Making so much money shorting this fucking trash. BTC going back under 60k by tomorrow

Massive_Pain_6677

BTC and other cryptocurrencies are just gambling. "Where will my slot machine be at in 2040" would be another apt question.

Ok-Win1261

For what it's worth I'm really sorry to hear that your BTC was stolen from you.

bambil00

Importing the same seed phrase into BlueWallet does not make the wallet more secure. Both apps would control the exact same private keys, so any previous exposure or compromise would still carry over. the cleaner approach is to create a completely new wallet in BlueWallet, write the new seed phrase down offline, verify the receiving address, and send the BTC from Trust Wallet to it. Do a small test transaction first, then transfer the remainder after confirming it arrived. Also, never enter your seed phrase into a website or share it through DMs. Anyone asking for it is trying to steal your funds. For a significant amount of Bitcoin, consider moving to a reputable hardware walled rather than keeping it in a phone wallet long term.

I've maxed out my ISA allowance for this tax year, so I'll re-assess in April. Hopefully there will be more IFISA providers by then, since I'm not familiar with Stratiphy. I'm just annoyed that we now have to use an IFISA instead of a regular S&S ISA. I've got some BTC "proxies" in my S&S ISA and obviously BTC itself in self-custody, but ideally I'd love to hold something like [WXBT](https://www.ii.co.uk/etfs/wisdomtree-physical-bitcoin-gbp/LSE:WXBT) in a S&S ISA.

I have also found $300 - $500 per month to be a sweet spot, really just investing the months leftovers which vary month to month. Small enough that you don't miss it, it works out to be a very small % of my overall investment portfolio so I don't mind the risk / volatility. I only have 0.1BTC after a year or so, if it all went to zero then I'd consider it part of the risk .. if it goes 10x then I won't complain

You've already done what most people couldn't: you had conviction when it was deeply uncomfortable, and more importantly, you managed the debt responsibly instead of letting it manage you I actually think the past five years have been widely misunderstood. BTC wasn't simply moving from one bull market to the next—it was evolving from a speculative retail trade into a global macro asset. Transformations like that are usually slow, frustrating, and far less exciting than most people expect I also think institutional adoption did happen—it just didn't happen in the dramatic way many people imagined. Instead of sending prices straight up overnight, it gradually made BTC an asset that governments, pension funds, asset managers, and corporate treasuries can legitimately allocate to. To me, that's a far more important milestone than any single price target Diversifying into equities now also makes perfect sense. Different asset classes have different jobs, and expecting one asset to do everything is rarely the best strategy That said, if I had to guess what you'll appreciate most three years from now, I still think those 5 BTC have a very good chance of being the most valuable part of your portfolio—not because they're guaranteed to outperform, but because the market usually takes much longer to fully recognize truly scarce assets than most investors expect

Low_Badger_9430

BTC getting promoted to everyone = going to 10k ish. (screenshot this)

so7ow

I don't use Trust Wallet so I can't really speculate. Some sort of malfunction/failure? If all your BTC ended up in Blue, maybe all's well that ends well?

Important_Neck_2122

I’ve been purchasing $500 of BTC weekly since 2022. I have a weekly withdrawal from Coinbase setup and move it monthly to my cold wallet. It’s adding up!!

Stock market is performing so much better than BTC over an extended period. Even if folks think BTC might appreciate, if the S&P 500 will do it faster then everybody's off the BTC bandwagon.

> If not, what would stop you? Running a private lottery is illegal AF. Almost anywhere in the world. I did it anyways in 2014 for a while. Call it a raffle, all the tokens were shite L1 BTC clones anyways. It was fun for a minute but participation is highly subject to the risk on/off cycles of the tokens you're using. Last year I was in a protocol that called itself a lottery, stake for prizes every week, etc... and I came out ahead after about 4 months but it involved being early adopter with a massive stake in a weighted 'draw' system. Anyways this is trivial to create. You can only be so 'fair' in the EVM and people accept that. The reason it doesn't exist everywhere is because if you don't build something to hide the fact that it's run as a lottery you're going to jail when you make any real money. Based on local laws, your mileage may vary.

Important_Neck_2122

In a few years when BTC is $250k, you look back and say it was worth the wait!

ProfsrGabriel

I'd probably go with actual BTC. Even if you don't care much about self-custody today, it gives you more options later. Native staking is a good example of something an ETF can't offer.

breovus

But mercury is in ascendancy then or some shit and my organic tea leaves say you're full of baloney. My technical analysis if I draw the lines the way I want them to say it's actually going down to $10/BTC sucker! /s I think both our statements are of equal likelihood. Let's wait and see what happens.

Majestic_Ebb9783

I think Bitcoin will still be the strongest store of value, but I also expect it to become much more productive. Long-term holders will probably have more ways to use their BTC without giving up control of it. I'm curious to see how approaches like TBVs evolve over the next decade.

Gears6

Clearly I got some BTC (and other crypto), so I'm a believer or at the very least, believe it ain't going nowhere but up in the future. However, I'm not one to put my head in the sand and not consider risks.

Kwbneddit

I’ve bought BTC there bc of the low fees (.65% in and out. That’s lower than river & strike). I’m not sold on multi sig personally. At this stage of life (no kids but have a fiancee) I’m not pressed to do that model of custody. You can withdraw to cold storage but they’ll ask to verify you identity beforehand since they’re are 2-3 keys 

pizzapartycrasher

Lots of hopium, some folks got BTC right tho, impressive

bananabastard

If BTC hadn't been invented, the crypto industry wouldn't exist.

Good-Book-6912

In 5 years BTC has reached $1000 again, and people are pissed and spending their time bitching and moaning over their losses. Some say they will go down with the ship. Other people have moved on to Sui which is the new top dog in crypto, due to scaling and a great programming language for smart contracts.

hereforthefundoc

2017 holder here. We are not out of the woods, I believe the worse is to come. Institutions will add more into your anxiety and to the market correction. My suggestion to every BTC investor who feels anxious. When you are in profit, sell and pay for your initial investment. Keep the rest. Sleep well.

Designer-Beginning16

“A SpaceX-tagged address (15atF…) sent approximately $88 worth of BTC to another SpaceX-controlled address (bc1q9…). The first address has the “Coinbase Prime Custody” tag attached to it." You got a better source than the article itself?

gordonfr_

If you care about this 500 or 100 like you do, don’t invest all into BTC. 

Mohowl_

Give OP a break, obviously 1 BTC will be worth 1 BTC

CODE_HEIST

fair distinction. hyperliquid has usage and a cash flow model, while BTC is closer to a monetary asset with no operating cash flow. i still would not compare them on one valuation lens though. platform revenue can fall with activity, while BTC's thesis depends more on scarcity, liquidity and demand for the asset itself.

ubermensch1001

Think about it this way, this offer is posted on here with those that are active in the BTC/crypto space. They go through your content, if it's publicly available, and maybe can gather what you hold, how much, etc. If you take this offer there's a possibility that you need to reveal personal information about yourself, or maybe it's a phishing attempt to get seeds, etc. It's basically no different than the private DM's you get if you post a thread about needing help/input with something crypto related.

Robosnails

Your story is sadly the most common for a new Bitcoiner. They are drawn in by the hype of a new all time high and the communities promises that you will 100x your money. You then spend money you cant afford to lose on bitcoin while its at the 4 year cycle peak histeria. Then it all comes crashing down and you wonder how others could possibly endure the emotional roller coaster. The secret is, we dont! Smart money has a plan and strictly follows the 4 year cycle and DCA buy / sell at the same high and low windows that have been repeating consistently since bitcoins creation. Retail money also buys and sells during the 4 year cycle but they buy and sell based entirely on emotion. If price goes up they get excited and buy, if price goes down they panic and sell. Bitcoin returns are nothing close to what the OG HODLERs experienced, so what they preach is(at least at the moment) pretty shitty advice compared to other investment strategies. While BTC gains have significant dimishing returns every new cylce, the gains from peak to trough are still massive. Despite what the financially illiterate claim, you absolutely can time the market, but it does require that you ignore the noise and remain disciplined. Follow the metrics and NOT the influncers claiming its going to zero or 1,000,000 this time for realz trust me bro!

ubermensch1001

I think it's a great idea, but there are a couple things you should consider. If you are using the standard buying option from a typical exchange the fees can in fact add up. However, if you learn how to properly use the advanced feature they have, like Coinbase Advanced, the fees are incredibly cheap, at least relative to the standard buys. To put this into perspective, my last purchase I bought $350 of BTC on Coinbase Advanced and the fee I paid was $2.09. If I were to make a purchase with the same amount right now using the standard buying option I would be paying $6.44. This is a huge relative difference and if you are buying on some sort of regular basis this would add up very quickly. Something else you should consider with standard vs. the advanced feature is the spread. When utilizing the standard buying option, there is a 1% spread on your purchase, meaning it rounds up 1% from the price you are buying at. In contrast to this, when you use the advanced feature you are buying at an exact price, say $64,000 vs. $64640. Again, like the fees this quickly adds up. I would also consider maybe only withdrawing from an exchange once per month or something like that. The fees to withdraw/send aren't that ridiculous for BTC, For instance, I withdrew .011 BTC from my exchange at the beginning of this month of July and the fee was $.35. In early June I had withdrawn .019 and the fee was $.28. This is incredibly cheap for decently large withdrawals, but it does make sense to maybe do it once per month or so. As for you actual plan to accumulate. I think $100/week is better than just one large lump sum per month. The price can swing erratically in that given time period, but by buying once per week it will average out your purchases. I also think it enforces good habits, as you are essentially treating it like a savings account that you just steadily add to instead of obsessing over timing the market, etc.

bizi0909

There's 3 that come to my mind: 1. CoinGecko Pros: closest thing to CoinMarketCap Cons: closest thing to CoinMarketCap 2. CoinTrends Pros:  \- has rank chart for every coin \- can pick custom range on BTC chart to get best/worst performing alts during that period. Very useful for screening Cons: hasn't listed as many coins as CoinMarketCap. 3. CoinPaprika: Pros: logo looks like paprika Cons: data for circulating supply can be inacurrate for some tokens

qwertyuiop121314321

You could have put money in the ATM then you would have had 1 BTC, it's not that hard. But you didn't. 🙄

CODE_HEIST

i think of BTC opportunity cost in regret terms. if an alt runs 4x and BTC grinds, can i live with that. if the alt nukes 70 percent and BTC holds up, can i live with that too. sizing should answer both before the chart answers one of them for you.

book4225

One of the comments: BTC will be around $600k, ETH will be around $40k. Let’s see haha

No_Theory9958

Bro, you got scammed. Be glad it was only $400. People have learned much more expensive lessons than this in crypto. You’re wasting your time and energy arguing with this company/exchange. 0% chance they return your BTC and you will definitely spend more on legal fees if you go that route

1. Have stable income 2. Pay your monthly bills 3. Service your debts 4. Contribute to retirement account for tax advantages and stock exposure 5. Account $ for daily expenses (food, gas, etc.) 6. Build 3-6 months of cash savings in case of unemployment. 7. Consider $ for hobbies/entertainment 8. DCA whatever’s left, or whatever you’re comfortable with into BTC. 9. Get adequate sleep, whole nutritious foods, proper hydration, sufficient sunlight, strength training and mobility/injury prevention exercises. 10. Support your family, friends, and community.

>He says nothing about monthly.., 👇🏻 >When I get money I invest all of it into BTC immediately... You don’t have to be a genius to figure it out lol

tommazikas

There is, but if there was no BTC there would be no alt coins, it started with BTC, maybe someone else would have created something different then would be somethong different. Debate worth nothing to debate about.

barchilla

99% of shitcoins are just a cheap copy of #Bitcoin 4 me there is only 21millions of BTC and a world full of fiat inflation

machin_bidule

Imho, main benefit is protection against inflation, because banks and government can't create Bitcoin from thin air, like they do with $. Bitcoin is rare bc the supply is mathematically capped. USD is based on politics, Bitcoin is based on maths. Hardware wallet cost is $75 or less nowadays. They are useful only for big amounts. Op lost 0.1BTC, he should have bought a hardware wallet...

Some-Platform1968

Yes, because that company’s stock price was based on expected future profits and the business burned down…no more future profits. BTC is valued on magic so I think it requires more time for investors to gradually exit the market. But I can’t think of an event that would make every holder sell at once to drop the price to zero. I wonder what could happen that would make every investor go to sell the same day, or over a really short period

Capital-Ad8143

Stop spreading lies, you evidently do not believe in the technology and advancements that BTC brings to the financial world.

paperlevel

You don't buy on the wallet, the wallet is how your keys are stored. I would actually recommend starting with an ETF especially if you already have a brokerage account. If you want BTC directly an app like Strike is pretty good, keeps it simple.

paperlevel

DCA is too passive for me. When I get money I invest all of it into BTC immediately. I keep all other accounts as close to zero as possible. If you do it like this you'll make progress much faster.

Juus

300 billion dollars disappeared from SpaceX in the last 5 days, so i don't think it is farfetched to see a trillion disappear from BTC in 14 years.

racecrack

Except that... it is deflationary compared to the dollar. So even if the dollar value of things would remain stable over the next 16 years (*allow me to cough there*) - the USD value of a stable BTC amount would still rise.

Old-Committee944

Tbh I dont even care about the exact price anymore. If BTC is still around in 2040 after 4 more halvings, thats already game over for the bears. Feels like people will be arguing over whether it’s worth $2M or $5M instead of asking if it’s dead lol.

How would quantum computing devalue BTC? I’m curious.

Two users predicted BTC to be at 68k (that‘s damn accurate!) and 60-80k.

Arijan101

Nobody controls it? It's more centralized then regular money, check how much supply is in the hands of a few players. Nobody can print more? It's literally open source code with trillions of identical copies. No government can shut it down? They can just shut down the internet, rendering it completely useless. No one can hack it...yet. The 1st Quantum computer will crack it open like a can of cold beer after a long shift. Also if anyone's ever gets to control 51% of the entire network, that person can then literally change anything and everything about it. No bank can deny you acces to it? What a stupid take. Exchanges can freeze your assets at any given time, just like banks can. Also if you hold it in cold storage you still risk,damaging it, losing it or getting robbed,so this whole access mumbo jumbo is just another dumb talking point. Your BTC can just as easily be tracked and confiscated by the government like regular money. Decentralized? Look how much of the supply is held by a select few wallets. The top 100 wallets hold 15% of the circulating supply. How is that decentralized?

Power law has it around $4M per BTC in 2040. The support line is $1.5M. The upper bound is around $9M. If you want to see these charts yourself just search for Bitbo Power Law

Arijan101

And 100% of the BTC total supply is literally digits that some random dude typed on his keyboard while coding it, so what's the difference? Instead of 21M he could've just typed any other number at random and it wouldn't make any difference. This entire "scarcity" argument is pure B.S.

Long term it’ll equal gold market cap. Is that 10 or 30 years? Not sure but BTC will be a 10x minimum in 5-10 years

MotanulScotishFold

Crypto advantage is that there is no middle man to cover your mistake, you are your own bank if you buy and store BTC to a cold wallet. If you want systems with consumer procetion, you need a middleman, a business like a bank to do that for you.

UrbanGrower187

People act like self-custody is some impossible task when it’s actually pretty straightforward. • Buy a **Ledger** directly from the manufacturer. • Follow the 10-minute setup. • Write down your **24-word recovery phrase** on paper or a metal backup. • Never photograph it, save it digitally, or share it with anyone. • Create a Bitcoin account in Ledger Live with one click. • Transfer your BTC from the exchange to your Ledger address. • Verify the address on the Ledger’s screen before confirming. • Store the Ledger somewhere secure. • That’s it your Bitcoin is protected by your private keys, not an exchange. If your Ledger is ever lost, stolen, or destroyed, you simply buy another compatible hardware wallet and restore it using your 24-word recovery phrase. Your Bitcoin isn’t stored on the device it’s recorded on the blockchain, and the recovery phrase is what gives you access to it.

BashCo

Companies who make wallets with screens (Coldcard, Trezor) argue that without a screen on the signing device, the software app you're using to create your transaction can lie to you, tricking you into signing something you wouldn't normally authorize. For example, suppose I'm a very sophisticated hacker. I create a clone of the Tangem app and trick you into downloading it. Or maybe I'm a disgruntled Tangem employee who slips a malicious function into the official app. The compromised app is identical to the official app and everything looks normal when you go to spend your coin, but on the backend it's replacing the amount and destination address you're sending to with my own information. The app shows that you're sending 0.1BTC to your exchange, but on the backend you're sending your entire wallet balance to an address I control. You happily complete the transaction without realizing that the software is lying to you. This is hypothetical of course, but that's the general argument for having a screen on the device that shows you precisely what you're signing.

MajorAnamika

From that thread: >Cryptocurrency won't be just a currency, it will be everywhere like in payments, internet, vpn, supplychain, games, social media, maps, etc etc. It's the future!! I feel like now we're at a stage similar to how the beginning of internet was like. Also, ETH will flip BTC.

Dangerous_Relief8971

You can have firms custody BTC for you. I have two BTC with Fidelity because I don't trust myself with keys. It's not true BTC ownership like the nerds will say, but it works for me.

BetterSeesaw

Bitcoin is dramatically easier to access than stocks. You can buy, sell, or transfer BTC 24/7/365 from anywhere in the world with just a phone and internet — no broker accounts, no trading hours, no paperwork, and no borders. Plus you can self-custody your own keys and truly own it.

Specialist_Trust4945

Except that in the timeframe you're considering BTC was still relatively small (and not as easy to access) compared to stocks. On the other hand, when BTC became "big enough", it started being outpaced by real investments. Let's see in the next 20/30 years if BTC will outperform S&P500, Nasdaq-100 or MSCI World. I'm ready to bet it won't.

Zealousideal_Pool_65

I know it’s too late now, but this is worth remembering for next time: if you can afford to save enough for 0.1 BTC, you can afford to spend $100 on a hardware wallet to keep your assets safe.

3M pounds per BTC in the next year? Let’s keep it real $250K is my expectation. Do I see it reaching the Ms in 5-10 years, absolutely. More than happy to be proven wrong, but there’s a difference between FUD and being realistic.

Old-Director-6727

Well, do you understand how much less in market cap Bitcoin is compared to GOLD or any other asset? It's still new historically, and this instability mainly arises from large holdings, that for eg whales and institutions. If Bitcoin had the same volume/market cap as gold, it would have been very much more stable. Comparing gold to BTC is like comparing BTC to a memecoin, which was released two days ago

Meet them in your local meetup. There are some people who earn in BTC and must sell for living expenses. Try things like Vexl and see if your network is already on it. If not, try to grow your network. Perhaps through the Bitcoin meetup. Some have had success with hodlhodl, robosats, but I haven't yet.

keith976

youre stupid if you think bitcoin cannot be controlled by centralized entities.. sure it cannot be "controlled" in a sense but they can buy up huge amounts of BTC and manipulate the price which gives them control over its value

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, or if you're legit new to what's been going on. People have been talking about the 4 year cycles since around 2014/2015. And it became big when it unfolded exactly again in 2016/2017 with BTC returning from the ashes as predicted. Ever since then, people have made the same predictions. And every time there's always someone that goes, "everyone knows we're gonna have a bullrun in 2021, so we're not gonna have a bullrun". But then the 4 year cycles keep unfolding. You want some posts? It took me 2 seconds to find people talking about "we all know about the 4 year cycle" and about another bullrun in 2021, posted in 2020. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jwe9p9/cycles/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jwe9p9/cycles/) Here you even have comments about a peak in 2021, and a start of a bullrun in 2024: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ja0arp/the\_case\_against\_lengthening\_cycles\_and\_my/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ja0arp/the_case_against_lengthening_cycles_and_my/) Here's a guy talking about not buying the upcoming bear market in 2022, in a 2021 post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qe7ku3/this\_is\_why\_im\_rarely\_in\_the\_red/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qe7ku3/this_is_why_im_rarely_in_the_red/) This guy precisely talked about the end of the bull market and the bear cycle starting after February 2022, posted in 2020: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ja0arp/the\_case\_against\_lengthening\_cycles\_and\_my/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ja0arp/the_case_against_lengthening_cycles_and_my/) And there's hundreds more of these.

MushroomDizzy649

Again, hindsight is 20/20. Even if you perfected those plays, do you think you can keep going? Probably not. You’d hop on one hype train after another and eventually your luck will run out and you’ll be at a point of regret and play a scenario in your mind where you just held BTC from the start.

bananabastard

Only buy BTC, nothing else, and for now, buy on Coinbase and leave it there until you learn more about Bitcoin. I'll be honest, it took me years before I moved out of Coinbase and into self-custody. There's a lot to consider and it's people who rush into it that end up fucking themselves.

wkndatbernardus

I sold my house in 2025 and put most of the proceeds in BTC at ~$105k. Sure, it stings right now because I'm 40% in the red but, i take solace that I'm part of the revolution. Even if Bitcoin collapses, it will have been worth all the losses I incure for the shot at freedom from the tyranny of government controlled money.

FlavalisticSwang

I dont think you guys understand. The money only sits in usdc at 3.5apy for 2-8 months as it is incrementally DCA'd into BTC, after which it is transferred to cold storage. Better for the money to be generating little nibbles of BTC for a few months and/or positioned for deployment in the case of an undeniable dip, and to be rotting away as cash.

Puzzled-Rip641

No because those things won’t completely fuck me over with one mistake on my end with zero recourse. \> This is why your Visa credit card is happy if you keep paying them interest to borrow money that doesn't retain value in exchange for their protection while they implement crypto rails for payments to take advantage of programmable money. I’m super happy with the safety and security my visa credit card gives me. A fun hack with credit cards is if you pay your bill theu don’t charge you interest….. \> Bitcoin just happens to be an international standard that cannot be controlled by central banks to inflate away the value - it can only be changed by network consensus.

Yea it’s perfect, expect for the fact you can lose everything with one mistake and you have zero recourse……..
