BTC

andDevW

Almost everybody that was aware of BTC back in 2009-2010 has lost significant BTC. It's impossible to convey to people how easy it is to disregard/mishandle something worth so little money, despite the fact that you know it will be worth a fortune in a matter of time. Click on BTC faucet and don't have a pen handy, open a wallet and lose it, etc.

Fragrant_Pear_1425

Fees are just too high and since I do not buy anything else than BTC anymore Strike is perfect.

andDevW

You'd still never be able to convince most people to buy and hold BTC.

riscten

Bisq is good if you plan to use it frequently. My main gripe with it is how you need to stock up on BSQ to be able to open orders. You can also use BTC, but the minimums are quite high, which makes trades more expensive. Robosats is a lot simpler and cheaper. Everything can be done w/ Lightning.

roadydick

Came for this - and, if you had BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, AVAX, BAT, or ADA in your already your private wallet you already should have some

HungryDevelopment409

I have chainlink BTC avax

RecycleModelA1

Bro learn cycle theory! It’s LOW to LOW… in which case it’s followed the cycle perfectly. Halving is not what causes the 4 year cycle btw. Multiple assets before BTC was made have got a 4 year cycle.

ggrand0mkp

Just endure. Remember, absolute fixed supply. Infinite demand because people eventually will need something that can't be debased to store their purchasing power. In retrospect, price corrections always became profitable. Don't listen to bears like Scheter Piff... they are only trying to sell their GLD to you (and probably buy BTC with the proceeds).

Inevitable_Pin7755

Crypto is not stable and probably won’t be in 2026 either. Bitcoin will likely still be the thing that decides everything. When BTC drops, alts usually bleed harder and for longer. The fact that many alts are near all time lows does not automatically make them good buys. A lot of them never recover. If you are investing monthly, the safest approach is boring. Consistent DCA beats trying to time bottoms. If you believe in crypto long term, Bitcoin should be the core. It has the highest chance of surviving another cycle. Alts are higher risk and should be treated as such, not as “discounts”. Personally, I would stop adding heavily to weak alts unless you are fully convinced they will still matter in 3 to 5 years. Most people underestimate how many projects die quietly. Putting the majority into BTC and a small portion into a few high conviction alts is usually more survivable mentally and financially. Nobody knows if another big drop is coming. If it does, DCA protects you. If it doesn’t, you are still building a position. The biggest mistake is going all in emotionally because prices look cheap. Crypto rewards patience and consistency, not clever timing. If holding stresses you out daily, your allocation is probably too aggressive.

Very_Type_C

Where tf does the sell pressure even come from. People want BTC to go up but fucken bobos keep on selling and pushing the price down.

ApprehensiveElk3554

Seeing institutions buy BTC is interesting, but I keep it simple. Best Wallet felt cleaner for me since I prefer fewer steps and fewer screens. Noise is everywhere, so a setup can help me straight.

Unitedfateful

Same My wife and kids are the most important people in my life Not having them exactly as they are would destroy me 10 BTC now wipes all our debt instantly.

sylsau

BTC is the best stablecoin.

No_Implement_5807

I'm actually hoping for BTC to hit 70k and below to see the furnace burn 😂

Annabel511

Holding one whole BTC feels intimidating, especially when guides throw a lot at beginners. Best Wallet made the idea feel simpler to me once I focused on basics only. I am still learning and double checking steps before doing anything. Slow progress can be fine in my experience for now.

anmconnell

Using BTC for payments is rare for me, mostly because friction adds up fast. Best Wallet keeps things cleaner for me, which can matter when I just want it done. Simple beats clutter in experience.

digitalr3lapse

Breakthrough isn't coming till mid-late 2028.. if you are kinda new just accept it and dca over the next couple year, ignore the "BTC is dead posts".

andiricum2

You can buy BTC on Robinhood, but withdrawals can be limited depending on where you live. Best Wallet is what I use when I want full custody. If you care about price, Robinhood may work.

androidianeer

I treat BTC as simpler, conservative code, and ETH as a bigger surface area with more moving parts. Best Wallet let me separate them into different accounts so I don’t mix goals. Long term, I’d read each roadmap, watch diversity, and assume surprises. I try not to overcommit either way.

SavingsDimensions74

Yes I am. Be greedy when others are fearful. Stocks and metals have had a nice run. Those returns will diminish and rotate to places where the R/R is worth it. I’m in the market and crypto. I doubt the stock market will go up that much more and I doubt alts (the main players at least) are going too much lower. Crypto is a risk-on asset and extremely volatile but money needs to go somewhere when returns elsewhere aren’t doing their job. That’s where BTC, ETH and the top ten alts will make ATHs. Right now we’re at a beautiful accumulation phase where people are selling. When the numbers go north, they will go really north, quickly, and likely followed by a significant down trend. That’s my analysis anyhow.

AdBrilliant7774

Buying BTC usually means picking a legit on ramp and understanding self custody basics first. Best Wallet is what I looked into after checking how keys are generated and backed up. I usually test small sends, read docs, and stay cautious before trusting any setup long term for myself personally.

nugymmer

The answer is obvious for me. I’d change my name and then be able to buy BTC LOL. 

nugymmer

I’d take the blue. I want my normal hearing back and I don’t want this freaking shunt stuck in my brain draining CSF fluid 24/7. And I’d get more than 10 BTC. Multiply that by a thousand or maybe even more.

choicehunter

I'm not worried about the long term because of basic math. Public Bitcoin Treasury companies alone are buying up (daily/monthly) more than 7x the total Bitcoin being mined and most are committed to continue at this rate with more joining all the time. Saylor predicts that by 2026, there could be as many as 700 public companies using Bitcoin as their primary reserve asset. But even if there are no more new ones and the current ones continue at the same rate, there is going to be a huge supply and demand squeeze coming anyway even if nothing changes. Mining company reserves are no longer provide enough "natural selling pressure" to satisfy big buyers so large entities are starting to turn to exchanges and OTC (Over-the-Counter) desks, which are seeing their inventories hit multi-year lows. Unlike gold or oil, where a price spike leads to more mining/drilling, Bitcoin’s supply is fixed and inelastic. When demand hits the "bottleneck" of available liquid supply, the only way for the market to clear is through a rapid, vertical price adjustment (the slingshot). We are currently running at a 7x deficit between supply and demand, and when the OTC desks are drained, they will have no other choice than to fill their orders from exchanges which will finally start to affect the public pricing. Once OTC desks and exchanges are depleted, the only way for a Bitcoin treasury company like Strategy to buy 5,000 BTC is to bid a price high enough to convince a "HODLer" to sell. Since roughly 85% of Bitcoin is held by entities that haven't moved their coins in years, the "ask" price from these holders is likely significantly higher than the current market price (e.g., $150k, $250k, or higher). That supply/demand squeeze finally, spilling over into the public price because OTCs can't fill their orders behind the scenes anymore is really what everybody's waiting for. Best estimates on the math trajectory I can see, imply that this is likely to happen in the first half of 2026 (I can only hope those estimates are accurate just so that they can break everybody's 4yr bear cycle model and destroy everyone's entitlement self fulfilling prophecy crystal ball models). But it's absolutely possible that some paper hands can extend this past early 2026. Also, gamblers doing their games with liquidating longs and shorts will keep the volatility going a while, but even that doesn't matter much over the long term when the asset is running at 7x supply deficit against the demand. Just remind yourself that in the long game, public Bitcoin treasury companies alone are sucking up more than newly mined Bitcoin. Not counting private companies or retail. Let people play their short term games. Stop watching the price. Let long term supply and demand math on an inelastic asset do it's thing. Nobody knows the timeline, but math and logic seem to tell us the long term trajectory/plot. But sure... Everyone with paper hands go ahead and panic sell now (Not financial advice). 🤷‍♂️ You won't stop what's coming, you'll just let the DCA crowd suck up discounted SATs for a little while longer, but a supply crunch is increasingly getting a tighter and tighter squeeze. (This entire post is not financial advice. Do what you want. I'm just saying that for me, the numbers make me not fear the long term outcome)

anil537

If you need to cash out BTC for a home purchase I’d think about timing fees, liquidity on the exchange you choose, and withdrawal limits to avoid surprises. Best Wallet kept my coins safe until I was ready because it may have made the transition off exchanges clearer for me.

Known_Experience_794

Blue because I’d drop $100 in BTC in the very early days and be a billionaire now.

moopy389

What "backs" bitcoin is that it has some properties that people find desirable and are therefore willing to offer dollars for to obtain some amount of BTC. The price is just supply and demand market forces

dividedSt8s

All crypto not BTC are shitcoins that have no future.

retroapropos

Bout 160k sats with gemini CC just from Christmas. That gemini card is dope. You buy something and then get a notification spent 50 bux in gas, recieved $2 in BTC.

NOIRCEUR_TRADING

Yep, DCA and lump sums on Strike. Move my BTC to Cold Storage every $5k accumulated.

khai0001

Analytically speaking, here's the takeaway from the graph: When BTC's price drops below its previous year's price, buy, because next year's price during christmas will be higher. It has 100% win rate so far.

pablo_in_blood

Are any of these rewards cards actually as good as just using a higher-point rewards card and using that cash to buy BTC manually?

khai0001

Traders are bored with BTC. At least that's a good time to accumulate some

NorthvilleGolf

I’m not panicking. Even if my BTC went to $0, I’d lose no sleep because it’s less than 1% of my assets.

jonny_snowy

Depends on your spending. Gemini is category-based: 4% on gas/EV charging/transit, 3% dining, 2% groceries, 1% everything else. No annual fee on either. If you spend a lot on gas and dining, Gemini wins. If your spending is mostly random stuff, Coinbase's flat rate might be better. I went with Gemini because I drive a lot and eat out more than I should. The 4% and 3% categories add up fast for me. Plus I didn't want to worry about maintaining a balance tier. (fwiw as of December 2025, if anyone's signing up for Gemini, 55bpz2kdp gets you $50 of free BTC)

vansterdam_city

ETFs and real money managers are involved now. BTC is down YTD and tax loss harvesting is happening. The fact that things snap down at the start of Monday trading hours is a clue here.

Johnroberts95000

Ah interesting, reddit kept telling me it was deleted. 25% of ZEC under ETFs will make me consider it co-opted as well. 5% is fine. Saylor is a liability with his avg at $75K - \*if\* there winds up being a deep bear from the dread of Saylor coins being dumped or if Wall St bands together to decide the official bitcoin fork deletes Saylor's coins. All treasury companies (including Microstrategy) were retarded. It's just that BTC ETF + Coinbase + Treasuries grew to 25% of the network. A real problem for governance / cypherpunk values.

Left_Slice_3082

If your time horizon is five to ten years and BTC and ETH are already your core holdings, then the rest of the portfolio should not be used to chase market moves. I would prioritize infrastructure focused projects such as Ethereum scaling, oracles, cross chain systems, or decentralized storage, because these are used long term rather than driven by hype. The key things to watch are whether development continues during bear markets and whether the token has a real function in the network, so the portfolio can grow alongside the industry over time.

gmehta7

Was there 1 full BTC?

Leynnox

Alt season has nothing to do with tech or whatever. Safe assets go parabolic, liquidity then goes to BTC, BTC goes parabolic, then liquidity goes to ETH, then altcoins, then some random memecoins. It's all about greed and cycles, tech and utility don't mean sh*t, it's just good for bag holders

Away_Marsupial5196

Hahajja maybe I would never knew mu wife. I would never had my baby boy. Come onnnn, gimme my 10 BTC

Mackinnon29E

Not to mention it'd be easy to make far more than that from BTC and nearly all other investments with the knowledge we have now anyway.

SpontaneousDream

Better entries!? Bro, these coins are all going to ZERO. Sell everything NOW for BTC.

RetiredAvocado

I guess I don't know then. Debt is debt and they owe it, convertibles or whatever. And their income doesn't seem to support servicing it. Which was the point of the "business model" comment. And yes, bad bitcoin price is very very bad for them with all of that debt load. They would have to sell BTC which is bad for everyone else.

joeguy1776

At this point checking the BTC price is like checking the weather in San Diego. "Oh look, it's 90K and sunny again, what a surprise"

VicoxLegal

The Malibu chart is brutal; it shows how real estate in prime locations acts as a classic "store of value": scarcity + constant demand = strong historical gains. But Bitcoin has been much more explosive in the same period (multiplying thousands of times vs. tens of times over decades). Both share that "scarce asset that people want to own forever" vibe, but BTC wins in liquidity and total portability. Ultimately, premium real estate is the analog Bitcoin: slower, more tangible, and with income, but with less crazy upside potential. I see them as complementary for diversification.

WellieWelli

??? BTC prices are directly and intrinsically linked to their Valuation and their valuation is directly linked to their debt and equity market cap (which allows them to control debt & interest through convertibles). This is my point, you have no clue what you're talking about.

TheCollectorOne

My daughter was born within that time, unless I can make sure that I have HER specifically then I take the 10 BTC.

diego_ya

Go back to 2010 and buy BTC is the only good answer.

ForsakenTree770

I remember the faucet but creating a wallet was quite hard and 5 BTC was less than a dollar and the big discussion was if it were ever going to break a dollar so I gave up after like 30min. Would've sold at 100$ at the very latest, I think, so it doesn't bother me much. I'm more sorry I didn't move forward with my plans to mine bitcoin with a couple of rasperry pis because I wouldn't have broken even with my electry bill right away..

greatben1943

Honestly speaking, there is no good reason to take the red one, except if you’re worried about altering your future by changing actions you took in the past that led you to who you are today. If you take the blue one, you could get 10k BTC, not just 10. It was cheaper than coffee back then.

Anxious_Noise_8805

Just like BTC is better than fiat currency, privacy is better than BTC. Just my opinion.

RetiredAvocado

Why did you compare it to buying a home then? I said nothing about BTC prices at all. Just the company's debt, interest on that debt, and the profits available to pay for it all.

No_Giraffe_4647

There are many reason for example to build a diversified asset class savings for retirement and once retired sell it a bit every year to complement your pension and live a bit better. And you sell to anyone as the BTC is very liquid there are always buyers out there. It could be as well to fund long term project like buying a secondary residence then you cash out once you have accumulated enough to do so. Ultimately it could be as well to provide some transmission to the next generation without having to pay tax immediately(delay the taxation process) you just need to transfer to another recipient who will hold it for another generation and so on (depending on the country applicable rules sometimes transferring asset could be taxable)

nugymmer

LOL alt bags always lose money. BTC only.

Anxious_Noise_8805

Why does it bother you if it moves against BTC? Don't be a BTC supremacist, it's stupid

nugymmer

Stick to BTC. Just DCA. Thank me later.

Right_Vermicelli_663

I don't think they are worried about copying and pasting the wrong address. I think their question was does anybody do dusting with BTC.

angelwolf71885

That’s the thing cash only depreciates gold and metals aren’t rocket ships either BTC is mostly vertical over 5 years and nearly vertical over 10 years but keeping $250k in the each bank isn’t insane to me because i wouldn’t use that money to weld power or buy things i would let the $2k a month pay my bills and stack sats with a portion of what’s left but in a realistic setting 0.250% is the highest the average person can go and there aren’t enough high yield banks to get the maximum out of interest rates and stocks and bonds aren’t rockets either

Altruistic_Let_8091

The psychology of a butt coiner is truly sad. Imagine how miserable your life has to be to actively root against a digital asset. Of all the things there is to do and explore in life they choose to talk shit about BTC and post about it online. Humans are funny

hyrola_au

Irrelevant of the maths, whether you used a AI to write this for you, I am purely writing as if this post is legitimate. I did the exact same but with only 20k AUD in alt coins, a chunk of money I was happy to lose (but ideally didn't want to). My brother in law has been through multiple alt coin seasons, he's had BTC, ETH and then a range of alt coins. His initial investment was 100K some time back now, and before the crash in October? this year he had 600K (500k profit - not counting taxes and money to withdrawal). He does charting every day, he's done courses and has a group of people who invest and collaborate who do the same. He was loving seeing the profit, till now. Hes gone from 600k portfolio to less than 300k as he moved all his BTC and ETH to alt coins such as SOL, SUI, SONIC etc. I too have about 20k in the above and down over 50% currently, for me its a live and learn. I wish I had that 20k now that we just had Christmas etc. but also I am just going to leave it there now and wait. Brother in law still has a slight hope of an alt coin season but I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice, his hope is not like it used to. Now to the real question which option. I would rule out option B. You are taking more loss transferring, and right now its just too volatile to pick any alt coin to rally. So you have the get out option A, use the tax losses to your advantage but still come out down. Otherwise if you can live and survive, not have to sell a car, or assets might have to sit on what you have, just remember you havent lost anything yet till you actually withdrawel. You still have the amount of coins you had when you put in 88k or whatever it was. Either way, yes you got caught up in the hype train, 4 year cycle was coming to an end, top analysts were all banking on massive rallies... but at the end of the day, this is all funny money, dictated purely by the whales out there. We are living in their world, they want to pump in a few hundred million, watch the little people like us trip over themselves, then pull out. This is not a game you play to bank on winning, only hope.

Oscars_trash_home

Pfffffft. I could but 100BTC back then for under $100 and have over $11mil today if sold at high.

GILL-47

Crypto is getting exposed now. Don't hope for any season of any kind. It's a dumpster even ETH and BTC at this stage. There is a reason stock is up, gold, silver is up because people beleive these are the real proper assets not some ponzhi scheme like crypto.

mtnmahogany

If you do business with Coinbase, they can issue you a debit card which you can use for purchases or at ATM's.  Each transaction with the card triggers an automatic exchange of BTC to USD.

> I see that it’s the leading revenue generation coin by a wide margin. Be careful of NOOB bagholders shilling and misinforming you.

Both networks have had upgrades resulting in declining fees but ETH's drop in Fee revenue has been MASSIVE from $26-40 Million per week in the first couple of weeks of the year to $2-3 Million or less today as traffic has migrated to L2s and upgrades have slashed fee revenue to very little. See my other comments, ETH fee revenue is down -98% since the 2021 peak. I am not advocating to invest in TRON in any way, just pointing out the facts. Bagholders of all sorts of Alts think they have fundamentals and point to fee revenue, technology, partnerships, etc. But the fact is that all Alts are completely double speculative assets that rely completely on BTC price movements (BTC itself is speculative) **ETH is a double speculative asset** ETH is a double speculative asset that historically has a 0.96 correlation coefficient to BTC. *ETH only appreciates when BTC goes on parabolic bullruns.* Otherwise like the rest of crypto, it does nothing relying entirely on BTC for any appreciation of value and then *loses 70% to 90% of its value when BTC goes into a bear market.* - Summer 2017, ETH hits ATH of $400 after BTC hits local top of $3,000 - January 2018, ETH hits ATH of $1,400 after BTC hits cycle top of $20K - May 2021, ETH hits ATH after BTC tops out in April 2021 - Nov 2021. ETH hits ATH in December after BTC tops out in November 2021 - August 2025. ETH briefly touches past 2021 ATH after BTC breaks $120K

i_have_chosen_a_name

ShitcoinJoe

No its not. If I go back 10 years in time my kids are away . I can make new ones but they wont be the kids I have/love right now. I would choose 10BTC even if stupid from a financial + ageing aspect

makograves

Don’t mess with the timelines, get the 10 now as it is a sure thing. You go back in time, step on a butterfly and BTC does not grow into anything. Rookie time travel mistake 😝

Odd_Fun5012

Because if those early coins start moving it would freak everyone out and probably tank the price hard. Satoshi has like a million BTC just sitting there untouched since 2009-2010 and people assume he's either dead or never coming back. If that wallet suddenly wakes up it means either someone cracked it or Satoshi is back, and nobody knows what they'd do with all those coins

Successful_Flow1329

You built family, you’re happy, you don’t want to loose that. 10 BTC means you don’t have to worry anymore. You cash that out, invest into etf, enjoy about 2k a month in passive income. Or just hold couple months or years and cash that at the moment btc hits certain value, because you don’t need anything. Or you have nothing worthy going on in your life, you take the blue pill, take the chance to fix your life and start over. I suspect majority of redditors will be in this group, and majority of them will end up in the exactly same place as they are now, but with fuckton of bitcoin.

VariatCA

Even though BTC has only traded with about +/- 4% variation centered on 87k these last two weeks, it's kind of striking when you look at the chart for it. So many 2% swings happened in barely the span of 15 minutes. "Rollercoaster" hardly even describes it... more like one of those gravity-tower rides at a theme park lol. https://imgur.com/a/lnbEIic

SOwED

That's me more or less. Not silk road, but similar. I'd buy a few bitcoin, do my deal, and be left with a casual $9k in today's BTC. I actually came across an old paper wallet from those days, years and years later, had a few hundred bucks worth of BTC on it that was worthless change when I was using that wallet.

FOMOmeterCrypto

If your cost to generate those guesses exceeds the reward, the genie doesn't give you BTC—he repossesses your hardware.

bbatardo

With the current prices you can almost argue that alt season was Sept/1st week of Oct before the BTC drop. 

DrSpeckles

No, they are saying if you like BTC, buy it. Not through an increasingly shaky operator like Salor.

morpheusKKK

I was 5, I would’ve had a stroke if I went back 15 years with this much knowledge about BTC. Young Sheldon would’ve nothing on me.

OpticallyMosache

I don't hold any altcoins but have been considering buying some now as a gamble. I've been mainly a BTC guy and mostly anti-altcoins but now would be the time to buy.

UnagiBro

Example Hello friend i am rakeesh bhaaraatamumbai Number 1 BTC to cash please give seed phrase i may begin convert my friend

BlueM92

I hold 85% BTC and 15% ETH, so still heavily weighted towards BTC

microautomaton

You mean I could buy BTC in 2010 and also avoid ever meeting my ex-wife the same year??

handsomeslug

Yeah you can even mine many sorts of crypto (probably also BTC) from your phone through various apps. It's just very slow to do it if you don't have the proper hardware.

Dry_Title_2738

All very decent projects, but unfortunately crypto doesn't always make sense. - I would definitely get out of some of those dinosaur coins, and swap for 70% BTC / 30% ALTS - Try BTC/QNT - I would slowly DCA out of the market each month from here, then slowly DCA back in when prices are a bit lower next bear market (although we're already at pretty cheap prices)

Juice79man

Easily 2010. Plus you could buy 10 BTC back then for no more than $9.50. Go back to 2010 and buy as much as you want. It never once broke $1

Slowlane3570

One of the reasons why BTC appreciated is that many of us never knew this would have happened to hold as many as we can. Even though the BTC halving kept the supply balanced, while demands grows.

HopefulGuy1

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but BTC lacks any future cash flows, right? How does that refute the point?

giorgioorwell

10 BTC for sure. That kind of knowledge/time travel would break you. There's no way you could to go back and live through 2010 to today without going a bit crazy no matter how much BTC/$$/Assets you'd be able to accumulate. That kind of mental burden would be ridiculous. You wouldn't be able to tell anyone anything that you know is coming without them thinking you've lost your mind, or being deeply creeped out by you when they discover you're right, or knowing horrible events are approaching (personal/family or global) and you really can't do anything to stop them, or being visited by the Men in Black if you do something to trigger their curiosity.

LostMyWasps

Yeh, maybe. But I'd live pretty comfortably with 10 BTC for the rest of my life. If I went back, I'd just appreciate more spending time with my loved ones instead of trying to get rich. As I mentioned before, I'm not greedy, I'm practical. This choice would be the practical one.

terp_studios

USDT has almost nothing to do with BTC and its price.

durEckNs

If #BTC really runs to $250K in 2026, the “XRP upside case” people are pushing is basically this: XRP held up better than many alts in 2025, Ripple is building real financial infrastructure, and the SEC cloud is finally gone. A few articles making the rounds claim the broader altcoin market fell ~42% in 2025 while XRP was down ~15%. They also point to Ripple spending $2.7B+ on acquisitions (payments, treasury, trading infrastructure). And Reuters confirms the SEC case is ended, which removes a major long-term risk. Big question: if BTC hits $250K, do you think capital rotates into “use-case + regulation” coins like XRP… or does it mostly chase whatever has the strongest momentum?

Blockchainauditor

Why use the term “sold”? He paid for the pizza with BTC. Do you say you sold your dollars to the electric company when you pay your utility bill?

angelwolf71885

If this was pre $1k per BTC i would say you could meet up with a person in meat space to trade BTC for cash…but post $1k per BTC you are more likely to be mugged and at $100k territory you will be tortured just like that one guy in las Vegas at the crypto convention in 2024

Fear_Blind83

It's part of a 50 BTC block mining reward, someone must have found their wallet.dat 😀

angelwolf71885

I mean in 2011 Bitcoin was barely worth pocket change and most people used the free BTC for silk road

nugymmer

And then it’s already too late to get in and most get burned anyway. In the end they learn the lesson that everyone needs to learn, and then they become a BTC maximalist.

Aware_Panda_7931

Haha 10 BTC now 😎 but 2010 knowledge would have been insane !! 🚀🚀

Zerojuan01

10 BTC, I can't imagine not having my family right now... I don't want to get too rich... 10 btc is enough for me to live comfortably

MaximumStudent1839

Is this a copy and paste from that deleted thread? Wrote the response back there here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pxzwfv/comment/nwf2c3l/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pxzwfv/comment/nwf2c3l/?context=3) Instead of getting a reply, OP just capitulated and deleted the thread. > It is functioning as a cypherpunk hedge against bitcoin  It is grasping for every straw that I see. First, they talk shit about crypto getting co-opted by ETFs/DATs. Then Grayscale files one for ZEC, and the twins launch Cyph DAT for ZEC. Then you hear all the blah blah from these advocates on how BTC will crash because Saylor's Strategy mNAV will go below 1 or how ETH will crash because Tom Lee's Bitmine mNAV will go below 1. Then I look at Cyph mNAV already below 1 - can't fathom ppl throwing stones in a glass house. If anyone irl asks me why crypto feels manipulative and deceitful, I will gladly tell them story about ZEC.

i_have_chosen_a_name

According to this graph, if I have 1 BTC on an address for 1 year I am a long time holder. If I move it to another address, I have sold. Which is obviously nonsense.

Decentralization-God

As far as I know, alt season needs a trigger: BTC crash and that is not gonna happen as BTC is already “owned” by fin. institutions, not retail. BTC went up, it made almost double-up, but it forgot to crash. This is obviously a metaphor. Charles H. explained that recently well - retail is not already dumb, wont get caught for 3rd time (2017, 2021). Honestly this whole idea of the cycle is utterly stupid. It basically is a scam.

Lol, I understand completely. But people are assuming a lot of things out of ignorance from this. But honestly, 10 BTC right now is more than enough money to last me my whole life, and it would be even more with time. I'm not greedy. I'm practical.
