No? If Bitcoin becomes low that 4% Bitcoin will be the exact same, but it'll be less fiat. Scenario: Today 1 Bitcoin Next year withdrawal 4% (0.04 BTC) Balance next year will be 0.96 BTC after that Next year 0.96 Bitcoin next year withdrawal 4% Balance will be 0.9216 Btc after that. The withdrawal keeps becoming less and less Bitcoin but probably more and more fiat.

AP_lookingahead

The current price of BTC

Turbulent-Land-5664

Thats true, but if the total value becomes quite low, that 4% fiat will be more than 4% BTC - if I am understanding you correcty.

elrosegod

did they use a cryptographic strength encryption? if no, then BTC is doomed but if they can assure against getting cracked then theisable long term. I think security is the long issue rn.

Additional_Hat_9313

Quando o Bitcoin cair lembre-se pelo qual motivo você comprou, crises passam o fundamento do BTC continuam.

ProtectionMoney9176

Man, that is a classic and painful lesson. You are totally right, cross margin is a trap when you mix BTC with volatile alts. It looks great on paper to prevent liquidations, but during a systemic flush, alts dump 3x harder and just drag your safe BTC positions into the grave with them. Switching to isolated with strict stops is the best move you could have made. Glad you recovered from the hit, thanks for sharing the reminder.

Fit_Olive_3212

If you save your money in BTC you probably dont have 10k if it hits 200 😂 I dont say it will hit 200 but it could happen, becouse if it dips hard its gonna go faster, but there also will be people who wont accept it and buy more.

Faster_than_FTL

Sorry don't understand...how is wealth being stolen? By inflation? And why will BTC go up to a $1M to counter that?

Turbulent-Land-5664

I think BTC is too volatile for that - for me to depend upon. I will take 4% if 1 BTC up to about 7k max. Thats all I want to supplement my retirement income.

seansy5000

I wish I could get someone to take a bet on that. I’d bet $10k that BTC doesn’t hit $200 in the next 10 years.

Post is by: ApplicationNew4144 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1uhbhco/cross_margin_is_how_a_15_btc_wick_cost_me_the/ I got liquidated on June 4 even though my biggest position was a BTC long at 3x. Not because BTC moved too much, but because I had SOL and AVAX perps open on the same account and cross margin meant they all shared one collateral pool. When the wick hit, alts dumped harder than BTC, and the combined drawdown pulled the whole account below maintenance. The BTC position on its own would have survived easily. A 3x long does not liquidate on a 15% move. That is the part that still annoys me. Cross margin felt safer on paper because unused margin backs every position, but what it really does is let your weakest trade kill the rest. I started checking how different platforms handle the isolated vs cross choice. Some make you dig through settings before you can switch. BYDFi makes you pick isolated or cross per position before confirming the order. It is one extra click but it would have kept my BTC walled off from the alt liquidation. Not saying that platform is special, just that the UX choice is the kind of guardrail I wish I had hit. Now I open everything isolated with individual stops. If one trade blows up it takes only that collateral. Cross still makes sense if you are hedging the same pair or running a tight arb, but I will not run a portfolio of volatile alts on shared margin again. Learned it the expensive way. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

They don't have to take over the administration & security if they don't want to. It's a choice. If they want to just immediately sell it all that is their option. To oversee that (since you keep mentioning that your beneficiaries will get scammed), it wouldn't be that hard to find & designate someone you trust to step in & help with the handling & sale of the btc upon your death. You're so inflexible about the idea that "BTC hard, no one understand" it's almost comical. You've pre-determined that bitcoin is too difficult for you & your family, so just don't invest in it. No one is forcing you to.

eddyblat

The prefs are not listed as debt on their balance sheets for a reason. They are friendly handshake IOU's at best. MSTR is the parent company, not STRC. MSTR survival is more important than pref survival. The prospectus says they can permanently suspend all dividends forever, their choice. The btc acquired through the ATM programs are unencumbered completely. If MSTR walks away from dividend obligations it makes that $10B or whatever of BTC almost free. Remember when META kept pumping with every layoff announcement? If MSTR announced a big giant FU to all preferred obligations they would drop to $50 pre market, $65 market open, and be $200 within 3 weeks. The market is forward looking. No debt, no dividends, $40B btc. Bullish af.

YahushaHamashiach

BTC will bottom 36-45k in October. Sell now.

PuddingInMyPants

If I needed to convert BTC to USD in 6 weeks Id have open orders between 70-75k. 75 is probably about the top of the current trend.

Ar0war

it will pass it. I mean in this live there is nothing sure but big players love to make money on BTC and dump on retail when the hype is high. I am not talking here about BTC being the next currency blablabla, no. I am saying that big whales make millions and more millions with it, and they will keep doing so. This is literaly a money printer for them

jrafelson

Have you seen Coinbases mortgage program where you can borrow against BTC for a home loan? No selling and from my understanding no liquidation if the price falls.

WastelandOfConfusion

There is no Bullish case. Just sell everything you have and re-buy it at $20k BTC. Or alternatively, watch the value of your holdings plummet by another fkn ton. Luckily, I’ve shorted the whole way this cycle. I’m very happy.

SYNDK8D

They won’t use BTC for this. They will use a stable coin most likely

_Stylite

The idea that Clarity Act passes and suddenly the next year there will be billions in inflows from banks and monry managers with fiduciary dity is a pipe dream and there is no reason to believe that. There is literally nothing stopping any ofmthe parties you mentioned from buying BTC derivatives, ETFs, commodities contracts and pegging a client’s portfolio to BTC to any degree, other than the market risk of the investment. What do you think stops any of those funds from riding BTC investment through other vehicles? BTC ETF’s are already here my friend, and ETFs are the preferred vehicle for all money managers under fiduciary duty. Once ahaincyou have demonstrated thet you have no idea what you are talking about. And btw banks avoid BTC because it’s their competition, and also too risky. Nothing to do with regulation or compliance at all

Acceptable-Risks

Buy and hold and DCA. You are very foolish to think you can time the bottom. Creating taxable events and thinking it's smart to go in and out of BTC is what stupid people and paper hands do.

Middle-Wrangler2729

For me, the question has never been about the future value of $BTC. The reason I do not buy it is because I have read many stories about hacking and scams which lead me to not feel secure in my investment. I do not understand the technology enough to protect myself from thieves. At least with a bank there is deposit insurance.

RoyalMushroom6202

I believe in BTC, but I’ll be honest, I am no expert. But at this point, with so many institutional investors or whatever you want to refer them as, I don’t think BTC will fail because why would they let a market fail that has already proven to be profitable for so many? Or if you want to be more negative about it, a market that they can so easily manipulate. Pull some profits in the bull runs and stack in the pull backs. DCA if you can.

tigidig3x

If it dips? I'd borrow a generous lumpsum from my fiat savings, dump it all to BTC, then slowly repay the fiat I borrowed. Rinse and repeat.

devCheckingIn

BTC is just one big gigantic memecoin.

swissfamrob

What growth rate? You mean price performance? Also I don’t think an S curve even describes BTC’s historical movements

Romanizer

It's $1.7 bn per year. Their BTC reserve is 30x that at $51 bn. I don't think any company in the world has a runway that long.

DrawingWorldly5795

BTC has a finite supply, simple supply and demand, it's popular, the talk of the town, and tons of people are getting in or already in. I theorize demand slowly increases faster than supply increases over time until it tops out. I believe it will pop, just not sure when. I have some, wish I had more, I keep buying the dips. We'll see in a few years or so............

PureCod9290

Nope. It is collapsing because of serious concerns about their creditworthiness MSTR is trading at a discount to NAV, so dilution of common stock is terrible right now. Their sale of 32 BTC tanked sentiment and even the notion of them selling might drive BTC down another 10% or more. Perhaps their best option is suspending dividends, which they are allowed to do at any time... The market sees this

No-Admin1684

Those 15 years also paint a picture of slowing growth, with most bull runs having a weaker % increase than the previous one. BTC will eventually perform similar to gold, because that's what it has become, a store of value. It will never stop going up in price when measured against an inflationary currency, but its days of outperforming other assets by a huge margin are effectively over.

__The__Anomaly__

How long have you been in BTC?

UrbanGrower187

Coca-Cola isn’t a comparable example because its supply isn’t fixed, it isn’t a monetary network, and it doesn’t have the same adoption dynamics. My thesis isn’t “Bitcoin went up before so it’ll go up again.” It’s that Bitcoin’s fundamentals today scarcity, institutional demand, ETF inflows, and growing global adoption support a bullish outlook. Historical returns are just context, not the thesis. And saying BTC could go to $100 or $1,000,000 isn’t a useful investment thesis every asset has upside and downside. The question is which outcome is more probable based on the available evidence.

_Stylite

And to explain this for you further - the tjing which is causing massive capital outflows from BTC and creating risk of future outflows, is **market risk, not regulatory risk.** Fund managers aren’t sitting on their hands wishing they could buy BTC because of regulatory risk. This has actually never meaningfully stopped institutional investment on BTC - those institutions acquired hundreds of billions of BTC. The Clarity Act removes an insignificant portion of regulatory risk from an asset which is extremely volatile - the market risk far outweighs any regulatory risk by a long shot, and it’s always been like that.

Turbulent-Land-5664

What kind of math are you using? My strategy is 4% of whatever value of a BTC is - that will give me some income for 25 years to 0. But I actually plan to cap the draws - so if the value of BTC soars the max I would take out is still small in comparison. But as I am taking money out every year, if theres a new ATH, I might convert more to a stable coin to cover off 4 years - just for some peace of mind. Then maybe I can put that stable coin somewhere to earn a bit of interest, not sure how all that works.

Raquepas97

By that logic you should invest into coca cola, with the stocks split since the IPO you would be up more than 10 million % Past performance isn't indicative of the future, BTC could go down to 100$ as much as it can go up to 1 000 000$, it's gambling

_Stylite

Show me any cases where significant funds have been blocked from BTC investment by compliance attorneys. Every major wall street fund has owned BTC for years now buddy. They started in 2014. Please wake up

_Stylite

Again, it does nothing for bullishness of crypto or BTC. It is opening the door for more nee blockchains to enter as scams and rugpulls, and that’s why they’re removing SEC oversight on crypto. If this is a bullish scenario to you, get your head out of your ass please.

LTP-N

Doesn't matter what you think either. All crypto is useless and we're all out here gambling, get off your high horse, you don't know any more or less than the rest of us. Before you cry and reply saying I'm salty because I obviously hold alt coins, correct, but my gamblings are 50% BTC, 30% ETH, 10% XTZ and 10% ZEC.

xean333

The broader market is prepared (and has started) to move out of risk. BTC bloodbath will follow

joatmone

Heard this in 2022! Once BTC runs alt coins will double from here. Easy. Just sell and be done.

Jacmac_

BTC has been on a perpetual dip for the last year.

Improv13

All dependent on BTC price. If I were to guess 2-3 years.

Historical_Blood_408

the "taking profit vs needing liquidity" split is a good distinction — people conflate those and they're genuinely different decisions. borrowing against the position has a tax logic to it, but it adds liquidation risk right when alts are most volatile, which is the opposite of what i want near a top. how do you think about that liq risk — only borrow against BTC/ETH, or against alts too?

TheBigLR901

Thats a good sign... BTC is following an established trend. I'd be worried if retail was saying it wasn't dead.

JunkBondJunkie

I will trade my honey production for BTC. I have 5 gallon buckets of honey.

SYNDK8D

BTC has 9 lives

jongolfpro

Saylor is not selling everything. He sold an insignificant amount (0.0038% of his stack) for reasons unknown to us, probably to prove to investors BTC is liquid, or maybe to raise $2.5mil quick and easy rather than the hassle of issuing more shares. The following week he bought $110m. If you check the numbers on the Strategy website they have enough cash reserves to pay dividends for about 20 months. And that doesn’t include raising any more cash or their cash flow from software. He’ll make it through this bear market no prob.

Flexerrr

Anyone still holding altcoins is delusional. They don’t have any utility, cant store value and there is no hype either, as AI is riding the hype train right now. So just buy BTC, or don’t hold crypto at all

UrbanGrower187

When I was doing larger spot buys I purchased 1/2 a coin when prices where at 16k on the last crash and I’m sad I didn’t buy more when I was doing those larger spot buys… but yeah last three years just do steady daily buys reduces my stress a ton and noticed a decent steady increase over the last 3 years in valuation despite buying everyday. BTC “dies” a lot over the life span it’s had kinda cool how it never does though.

joelus666

Is this gonna help push BTC back up to a new high!?

Educational_Cable405

It's not useless, it's underspecified. Dominance going up can mean BTC is pumping or it can mean alts are bleeding out faster than BTC, two totally opposite tapes, and the single line won't tell you which one is happening. I never read it alone, I put it next to total2 or just an ETH/BTC chart so I know which leg is actually moving. By itself it's noise, paired up it's a decent filter for whether I should be holding alts at all that week.

RandomPlayerCSGO

Not BTC dominance itself but it is common for experience crypto traders to trade alts against BTC, cause basically if your alt does not overperform btc you should just be in BTC.

Norkis_13

Crypto does not need to kill the dollar to go up. Most people are not buying BTC because they think the US will wake up next Tuesday and retire the petrodollar

AdVisible298

Most of the world uses SWIFT. And outside the US are a lot of countries where the argument for BTC is even stronger.

Successful-Web-8715

Because they have mostly issued stock at a massive premium to buy bitcoin. How do you think despite having a cost basis lower than the current BTC price that their stock has risen 566% since they started buying?

thelonghand

I really hope we don’t look back in a decade or two and find out that Bitcoin’s price rising was caused by all the money printing in response to the pandemic. Even aside from whales I wonder how many retail investors used their stimulus checks to buy Bitcoin. I don’t subscribe to the 4-year cycle because just in the course of its existence the macro situation with the economy has not been stable to say the least, launching at the tail end of the Global Financial Crisis and mooning after COVID make me weary of putting too much weight on past trends. Its rise to ATHs is much more likely a result of society and the market recognizing its utility and the long-term benefits BTC will bring to society but if it was all a mirage we might get stuck in the doldrums.

devCheckingIn

You can track IBIT flows here: [https://www.coinglass.com/etf/bitcoin](https://www.coinglass.com/etf/bitcoin) In both BTC and USD.

SYNDK8D

The whole point of BTC is decentralization and transparency. I think that’s the whole point 😂

Reach_Beyond

Almost definitely not. It has no more 100x investment. Long or mid term 10x sure, 15x maybe. Whatever the mid to long term gain could be at this point, it’s no 100x. A handful of regular stocks will be able to beat BTC in the next 5/10/20 years.

HSuke

If they stop paying STRC dividends, Microstrategy is dead. That's pretty much the final straw that will break all trust in Microstrategy. They have cash reserves to pay until early 2027. That's it. There are 6 convertible notes with put dates between 2027 and 2029. They are puttable before 2030. Exact value of all obligations before 2030 is over $13B. If MSTR starts paying off all those obligations, it will lose half of its value, and it doesn't have enough value to pay off $13B. So they will eventually need to sell BTC unless the bull market begins by 2028 to early 2029.

TheManBL2020

'There is no better buy than BTC' This is nonsense.

How do I see Peter Schiff all over the media ragging on BTC for being down when gold is down 30% itself (so far) and is clearly in a bear market also?

mark35435

Impressive how many people hold the BTC turd given the massive tech boom which has just happened

United_Weight3580

The regards who sell today because "bItCoIn iS dEaD" are the same ones who rushing to buy when the price crosses 100k again. If you believe BTC will ever rise above 120k again, buying today GUARANTEES to double your money. If this happens thia year or the next one or in 2030 idk. But I challenge you to find another instrument that you know can have a 100% return in 1-4 years

devCheckingIn

29,110 BTC were sold from ETFs this week. Still a million more to go!

I do. Every three months or so I end up hitting 1m sats and then it automatically transfers that amount to my trezor. My entire BTC operation is taking care of itself lol

MF_Price

I would much rather have had my money in MU leaps in 2026. BTC is good if you want a "set it and forget it" investment.

maybesomedaywhen

BTC's correlation to tech stocks is highly telling imo. It shows that BTC trades in line with risk sentiment and hype rather than any of the typical narratives like it being a store of value or inflation hedge. 

highlandspring1001

Comparing the Mag 7 to BTC is both bizarre and ludicrous

MrKillerKiller_

The first requirement is BTC pumping people into big profits and holding sideways for an extended period of time. If that happens, and hype is high and interest rates are low (leverage on), and the larger market is risk-on. You need to check Total2 AND BTC.D. Hype / Leverage / Risk On / Btc Profits. Thats the recipe. Alt seasons is simply BTC trades attempting to sweeten their gains when the BTC price gets boring.

Full_Computer6941

Simply based on history I am confident it will bounce back. Plus the fact that there is no substitute to what BTC does.

Crnorukac

Yes, buying whenever possible. Time horizon is 10 years minimum. Biggest risk would be if US government decides to seize Saylor's BTC for example, that could bring some negativity. Today, tomorrow, in 2 years, there is no better buy than BTC, it is the only scarce asset, people simply don't realize what this means.

ProtectionMoney9176

Honestly, nobody day-trades the metric itself. It's way too slow for that. It’s mostly a macro asset allocation tool. When BTC dominance is in a clear weekly uptrend, you stay in BTC. When it clearly breaks down, you start rotating into big alts. Trying to trade the daily noise will just get you chopped up.

Due_Jellyfish5857

Sorry. Just speaking about this last entire year. Think of this from a business perspective. I don’t want to sit on it and add risk to my business. Sure I can convert it, but so can the customer. My investments, while modest, are safe and growing. BTC can destroy people that can’t survive a year like we just had. Leverage is the enemy.

Epictricker2025

You do your TA on it. If you expect it to dump, you sell your BTC and buy alts. If you expect it to pump. You sell your alts to buy BTC or stables.

Top_Performance_732

From the OP "The first 1,000 participants who move €1,000 or equivalent lock in €50 in BTC" Im not euro so I didnt bother looking at the actual link cause im not European anyways.

I think we still see a $1m BTC price, but not for another 10 years. Whether it holds that price we shall see.

Slow-Food-524

honestly I am watching for 20-10k. what happens if large money gets liquidated? What kind of ecogonomic enviroment are we currently in? Everyone is income the same, with expenses 2x. Few have money to invest. when the confident 60k-64k camp is not talking 50k'ish or 45k. it depends on the speed of which these targets are hit and count for natural drift as the market tests buyers or sellers. Trump already made his crypto grift. so you cant count on him to pump it. What kind of ecogonomic turmoil are we walking into? 2 years left of this corrupt leader, and years to fix the damage done. They rich are trying soo hard to cover up the ecognomic strain society is feeling. What's going to happen when the market turns bearish? How will BTC get dragged along with negative market sentiment? so if blood for the next 2yr+ how far down can it go? 20k? 10k? $POL @.03 and under for a 5yr hold. see how its Mastercard partnership amoung others develope. $POL may be the story next cycle.

Mundane-Context-3979

BTC and ETH from now easily 4x and 6x, but neither will 2x in a week like an alt might. I believe alts are pure gambles and I am happy with my 3 year 4x+ these days

Educational_Cable405

The trap is that your exit price assumes someone is sitting on the other side of the trade, and on a thin alt the people who pumped it ARE your exit liquidity. They hit the bid first. The other tell nobody checks is the alt/BTC pair instead of the dollar price. Plenty of alts are already bleeding against BTC while still printing new USD highs, so by the time your dollar bag looks amazing the money is already rotating back into BTC and draining the bids under you.

Low_Inevitable_7439

Lo único que puede confiar son los históricos de BTC, es decir, imposible que llegue a cero y seguirá subiendo y bajando pero sobre todo hasta arriba de manera exponencial aunque no se note hasta después, pues es bastante simple. Sólo los tontos se asustan y pierden más rápido que los demás.

Due_Jellyfish5857

It all comes down to convenience. All business ends with the IRS. Taxes, write offs… It’s calculated. And the IRS is dollars. BTC is a wild card and an unnecessary risk. All of my business friends feel this way. We will accept BTC, after you convert it to dollars. Why should I do that for you? I also don’t take pesos. 

Lavayo

Sure could be. My post was meant as an example that one market can rise (bull) while the other falls (bear) sometimes because of each other. Not necessarily stocks <-> BTC. But for that specific case I think it depends. If stocks fall because of a nuked straight of Hormuz, yeah BTC will fall too probably. If the AI bull market reaches a certain top many traders will go back into BTC and other assets though. When traders are after big gains, a asset below the 200 WMA is much much more attractive than AI stocks that just crashed 20%. Esp when momentum on each side changes.

FitCompetition1804

If you don’t have enough cash flow to be able to sit on those BTC payments, that’s understandable. But if you believe in BTC and set up a reserve of it, especially in bear markets like we are experiencing now, there could be big gains to be had while supporting the growth of Bitcoin at the same time.

Efficient-Concept713

You could transfer to Coinbase, use their credit card, and pay off the balance in BTC. Might be easier.

jonovision_man

Exactly - what turned those companies around? They came up with new products and brought in actual revenue, billions and billions of new money. What is the catalyst for BTC? The new investor pool is drying up, unless Trump decides to hoard it with taxpayer money it's hard to imagine a new FOMO wave to lift it back up.

coinegg

Enjoy sending BTC to people from cold storage to use a daily payments. lol

eiretaco

Places that except BTC immediately convert it into cash. They aren't sitting on a huge amount of something volatile if they need cash flow to sustain their buisness. Some may keep some exposure if they choose to, but typically its just converted straight to cash.

_Stylite

You do realize in the comment you just posted, “This removes the SEC’s regulatory gray zone.” This is **pure AI slop and it’s obvious you don’t understand your own comment** That SEC regulatory gray zone isn’t some bad thing - it prevented people from selling crypto **as an unlicensed security** eg defrauding investors. This used to be illegal and a no no. Trump is trying to make it legal with the minimum amount of regulations that he can use to seek compliance. Please explain why this is good for crypto or bullish for BTC?

EvoBrah

Then we’re all just dreamers and there’s no real value to BTC.  But I disagree with you.

I will literally never accept payment in bitcoin at my business. Too volatile. From the time I’m paid to the time I pay my bills, BTC has changed too much and usually it’s down. All business ends up in dollars.

That really isn't a thing. Nobody in their right mind let's you pay for a coffee with BTC 😬

WastelandOfConfusion

There’s going to be more Bull Run soon! … a downwards Bull Run to $20k BTC.

Plus-Tangerine2186

It's a fake token airdropped to thousands of addresses at once, the name spoofed to look like BTC (or it's just a worthless token someone minted for free). The token itself is bait. It can't do anything sitting in your wallet. The actual scam is the next step they're counting on: you try to sell or "claim" it, the only place it's listed is the scammer's own site, and that site asks you to connect your wallet and approve a spend or sign a message. That approval is the drain, not the airdrop. So don't interact with it. Don't swap it, don't "claim" it, don't visit any URL hidden in the token's name or description. Just hide it. It's only dangerous if you touch it.

Distinct_Survey_3402

This is a fairly accurate assessment of what’s going on. My involvement in cryptocurrency began officially in the fall of 2016. I bought my first BTC in my wallet. Back then if you shared the coinbase wallet you would give someone .01 of BTC. There are a lot of wallets out there that still have that.01 BTC in it and every so often I’d get a message from someone I shared that with, thanking me! That .01 is now over $600.00 We have gone to a whole new level and the acceptance is nothing like it was back then and I watched BTC go from $400 to $10,000 and all the while saying to myself this can’t be real. I watched my account grow from 10k to 95k in a matter of months. And then I watched it fall back almost 90% Volatility is what drives this market. Sadly Capitulation is an important part of the crypto ecosystem. We really haven’t seen it like we have in the past two big pull backs. Going from $15k back to $2k or the $64k to $16k I don’t think we will this time. JMO! I think BTC will test 53k maybe even touch 47k who knows!, it still won’t see what some of us saw in March of 2017 into 2018 and Again in into March of 2020. Who else was brave enough to buy that dip to $3000 for BTC ? And then watch it explode from there to $64k in April 2021 and then retrace 55% to $29k? I’ll bet very few here bought at $30k ride it back to $60k and then all the way down to $16k Nov 2022 do you see the pattern ? Then all the way from there to $124k October 2025 almost a 3yr rally ! And here we are June of 2026 sitting on $59k wondering will it test $30k or will support be $53k Most will never buy a full coin again but you’ll have a chance to buy .1 BTC and pay between $5k and $6k ! Or will you watch it again and say it’s never going to see $125k again ??? We are on the brink of a new era! The currency shift will happen and July 4th this year celebrating 250 years could make for an interesting time to make that shift. How important is the clarity act? How important is the blockchain and the tokenization of wall-street? What alt coin is going to rally 40x is unknown. But BTC will move forward with more money on the sidelines than we have ever seen before. I have a personal friend who is sitting on 3000 BTC and has never sold a single coin. Why some would ask, because he’s his own bank ! If you own just one Bitcoin you are your own bank. That is the goal and I own a few myself. Not as much as my friend but I didn’t stand by watching. I hope those of you who are watching will make your move. It’s about to get toasty!
