Seems unlikely…could they survive a flash crash with a quick rebound? Almost definitely but if BTC is at 15K for even 3-4 months they probably would be toast. Big Money loves to pile on any player of consequence going under. Might not even take 3 months for them to go under at that price.

Didn't China already ban BTC a million years ago?
Banks have to apply a 1,250% risk weight to balance sheet crypto under the Basel Accords, meaning >100% capitalisation (because no bank has only an 8% total capital ratio). Only once the BIS moves of the capital framework will it make even the remotest sense for banks to put BTC on balance sheet.
Almost **100%** of the U.S. government's Bitcoin holdings originate from confiscations, seizures, and civil or criminal asset forfeitures. \[[1](https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/31001502735754), [2](https://bitbo.io/treasuries/usa/), [3](https://bitcoinfoundation.org/news/regulation/what-is-the-federal-crypto-reserve-how-many-bitcoins-are-in-the-u-s-strategic-bitcoin-reserve/)\] The U.S. federal government is the world's largest known state holder of Bitcoin. Its exact stash remains un-audited and varies by reporting source, but estimates indicate it holds around **328,000 to 330,000 BTC**, which includes historic DOJ and FBI forfeitures.

I had a vivid dream I. February that the bottom later this year would be $42k. Let’s just say my largest limit order is set at $42k. The BTC spirits have spoken again.
I really have no intention of ever selling. I’m riding this out for at least another 10 years and will only sell if the weighting I hold in BTC is too heavy compared to other investments. I really believe in the long term value of crypto generally.
I started auto depositing my entire tech salary into BTC at 18k a few years ago, only stopped at 40k. The alternative is to be a wage slave till I die, so yes I more bullish at lows than at highs
Ah yes, good old 2m mcap. Just buy BTC bro
I think you’ll have 2 chains left, maybe 3 and all of them will have to natively interact with BTC and each other. ADA is trying but it’s too late for it. And you’ll probably have banks take over most of the trading, or existing traditional exchanges. The model we have right now is unsustainable
None of them. Maybe BTC
You seem to be missing the point, sir. If trading nets you more BTC, it's working. But do as you see fit.
BTC is the only one where the answer feels obvious. Everything else requires a thesis that could be wrong
Sui, Aster, and ofc BTC,ETH, SOL
2011 - 2012 perfect time to buy BTC BUT security was different - what I understand they get his keys from digital file. Looks like "house was clean" but they left all hardware and data files. Question: why it gpes in parts, not all at once?
Can someone explain why BTC can't go down to zero? Feels like it could. It's not a company. It has no backing. I know Blockchain has advantages but does that alone, make this valuable forever and ever?
Phased recovery plus "decryption resources" usually points to weak key generation, not a recovered seed. A lot of those 2011-2013 wallets had entropy bugs you can grind through one address at a time, which is exactly what a 500-BTC-every-two-months cadence looks like.
BTC is the only one I'd bet on with real confidence over 20 years. Everything else is a thesis, BTC is already proven infrastructure
That's a heck a jump in. My total crypto exposure is still less than 1 percent of investments. I just use my play money and my lady at Edward Jones handles the rest. Should be accumulating a bit using DCA, but as fast as other investments are growing, it'll always be a fraction unless BTC, ETH, XRP or XLM blow up (preferably all of them). At least you are getting in at a good time.
I can see QNT - Quant gain much more value in some 10 years time. Not only is it an overledger technology that is ISO compliant, it has also a great ex-HSBC guy behind it as well as the number of tokens is lower than BTC. But from the more known ones, my money is on HBAR, SOL, ETH, maybe XRP and of course BTC.
Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1umk2g7/are_cbdcs_quietly_becoming_the_biggest_macro/ The most underpriced macro story in crypto right now is that 146 countries representing over 98% of global GDP are actively exploring CBDCs, per the Atlantic Council’s May 2026 tracker. What’s changed in the last year is pace and intent. We’ve moved from “research papers” to pilots and early infrastructure. China is clearly furthest along with the digital yuan already live in dozens of cities and integrated into major apps. The ECB is in the “preparation phase” of a digital euro, with legislative groundwork underway. The Fed is slower and more cautious, emphasizing that any US CBDC would require Congressional authorization, but it’s also quietly building the rails via FedNow and publishing detailed CBDC research updates. Emerging markets are where the real experimentation is happening: the Bahamas, Nigeria (despite adoption issues), Jamaica, and several Caribbean nations already have live CBDCs, and large EMs are testing cross‑border CBDC corridors to reduce dollar reliance in trade and settlements. For crypto, I see two key implications. First, CBDCs formalize the “digital panopticon” version of money: programmable, traceable, and potentially subject to granular controls (eligibility, spending categories, expirations). Central banks and the IMF openly discuss using CBDCs for more efficient capital controls, real-time tax collection, and negative-rate transmission. That doesn’t mean instant dystopia, but it does mean the direction of travel is toward more state control over payment rails at the same time fiscal pressures (aging, deficits, deglobalization) push governments toward stealthier forms of financial repression. Second, this accelerates the need for a neutral, bearer-style asset outside the system. If cross‑border CBDCs plus sanctions fatigue keep eroding the dollar’s dominance at the margin, I expect more institutions to treat Bitcoin as a parallel reserve/hedge – the ETF flows this year already show that behavior starting. Because of that, my own response has been boring and consistent: stay long quality (BTC, some ETH), assume CBDCs will coexist with crypto, and focus on exit ramps. With CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger and I still use Coinbase as the cleanest, most compliant US on/off-ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is thinking about CBDC risk and surveillance in their allocation. Are you actually sizing positions differently, or treating this as background noise? Ledger and Coinbase links are affiliate links. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Update, thats why I didnt want to be here. According to info from The Core blah blah blah We are fucked. I was right. Hive mind will be growing, he is looking blockchain BTC. Why? Simple, they want have a stable form and continuity because they want have memory. All places attacked by them were organised databases. With some hashing. Great. Soon they may get near. Let me think.. what will do hive mind and our blockchain and his BTC"kids" combined together? I dont want to say even worse, as its literally in almost each protocole and signal. From Your cellphone thru military networks, comsats... Hospitals, schools, powerplants...
Attack his funding. The worse the world perceive their position to be the more expensive it gets to fund their day to day operations. The more likely they have to sell. In practice banks will start offering higher and higher rates on the loans to them, making it prohibitive at some point. It also includes suppressing BTC price, in a self fulfilling spiral. One fuels the other until it collapses.
As others have said, you're day trading. I do that a little with some extra cash (not on BTC but generally on the stock market). I've learned some very hard lessons over the years. There's a reason that people say it's hard to be successful at day trading - you can make small gains and even big gains, but all it takes is one wrong decision, and your gains can get wiped out or worse. Think of it like playing blackjack. You might get a few lucky hands, but if you keep playing and you don't know what you're doing, eventually the house will win. In the world of investing and trading, you'll usually make more by investing and holding. Very few people manage to become successful traders.
Could this mean the end of crypto as we know it. This is becoming one of the more remarkable cryptocurrency asset recovery stories. Here's what has happened: Irish authorities, through the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), working with Europol, have now recovered another 500 Bitcoin, bringing the total recovered from Clifton Collins's wallets to 1,500 BTC. At current prices, those recovered coins are worth more than $90 million. Collins originally accumulated roughly 6,000 BTC in 2011–2012 using proceeds from cannabis trafficking and spread them across 12 wallets containing 500 BTC each. Authorities have now successfully accessed three of those wallets—one in March, one in May, and this latest one. Approximately 4,500 BTC remain dormant, representing hundreds of millions of dollars at current prices. The most interesting aspect is how they did it. Authorities have only said that Europol provided "highly complex technical expertise and decryption resources." They have not explained the method publicly. That has led to several possibilities: The wallets may have been protected by an older wallet implementation with a vulnerability. Investigators may have recovered enough forensic evidence to reconstruct credentials. There may have been backups or additional key material that were never publicly known. It is considered highly unlikely that modern Bitcoin cryptography itself was "broken." No evidence suggests the underlying cryptographic algorithms protecting Bitcoin have been defeated. From a broader perspective, this is another reminder that "lost forever" doesn't always mean permanently inaccessible. Advances in digital forensics, coordinated international investigations, and improvements in blockchain analytics continue to expand what law enforcement can recover. Given your interest in post-quantum cryptography and quantum computing, this story also raises an important question: Were these wallets recovered through traditional digital forensics, or is law enforcement beginning to employ new cryptanalytic techniques? At present, there is no public evidence that quantum computing played any role in these recoveries. The available information points instead to specialized forensic and investigative methods rather than a breakthrough against Bitcoin's cryptography.
I mean if I had a fuckload of money, Id have some bot purchase or sell a lot of bitcoin right as these 15 minute segments start, place a prediction in the opposite (if I sell, bet it goes up, if I buy, bet it goes down). I assume a lot of these prediction trades are done through bots, so Id enter with that opposite bet right as like 60-70% are betting the opposite so I get a 3x return and immediately do the opposite trade. So for example: - 15 minute starts - Buy 1000 BTC - Put bet that btc goes down when 60-70% bet it goes up - Short 2000 BTC
Putting BTC and sealed pokemon cards into my portfolio has been one of my best returns ever 😆
\_”Morgan Stanley could eventually hold Bitcoin directly on its own balance sheet, Oldenburg says it is within the realm of possibility, tying any such move to the continued progress of the regulatory environment.”\_ - sounds like they’re not planning to hold any themselves until Clarity is passed. Probably the stance of many institutions. So if Clarity passed, BTC gonna moon it sounds like. Might be a delay from time of approval as they all go through their processes.
Id rather buy now when I see posts like this, compared to when everyone is euphoric and BTC is doing “well.”
Hedera HBAR is my top pick but I think BTC, ETH, LINK, and SOL will still be kicking.
BTC. almost everything else is a shitcoin except maybe ETH SOL SUI 80% BTC 20% these
welp everyone might as well go ahead and turn their USDT into BTC.
The fact that your true statement is getting downvoted proves Reddit has been compromised by Big banks since it's IPO. Now it's a sesspool of stocks and shares and banker bots shitting on BTC and other crypto, but mainly BTC.
Some of their early "investments" were not stable. It's not clear how much they made or lost. And what's the implications on tax or fines they have to pay (And to who?). Right now the only thing for sure is they can withstand larger bankrun than any 5 banks combined you name it. And no one bother/able testing this theory because what's the benefit? In a sense a 100% bankrun might actually be great for them. So they can retire not telling anyone about the profits. But I am sure it will trigger massive crypto devaluation and bankruptcy for more entities like MSTR or even banks and Treasury. Not only BTC and ETH will dip, bonds too given they are "THE" largest holder.
ETH is planning for the post-quantum era, it likely survives. BTC with current blockspace limits would take close to a year to 'rekey' all 50k accounts to post-quantum cryptographic schemes for signatures, If every block was full of users migrating their accounts to new keys. It isn't too late for BTC but it will be in a couple of years. Worrying about Satoshi's coins is the least of BTC's worries.
Shorting BTC to hedge against stocks!!
BTC and ETH are the easy answers here, everything else is a gamble for that timeframe
People keep screaming BTC is dead while institutions keep buying... Something worth thinking about
If the goal were killing the flywheel you wouldn't need a price pin at all, you'd just need the mNAV premium to compress toward 1. Saylor's whole engine is issuing stock above the value of the BTC it holds and buying more with the proceeds. Once the stock trades at or under the coins, the ATM stops printing on its own. Spot BTC is almost a side character here, the premium is the motor.
The ‘lost forever BTC’ assumption keeps getting more fragile every year.
You’re just gambling your families money at this point. The 24h continuous cycle of BTC has reckt soo many people, and can tell you you’re not immune. Also: Uncle Donnie has pumped and dumped the entire market, so all that hype that got folks to buy is now padding his pocket and leaving you in the dust.
If only there was something public and permanent that let you trace your BTC transactions to the exact day you acquired them. Something like that would be the solution here..
Did this by hand for a couple months back in 2021, sold at every 500 up feeling like a genius, kept a little log and everything. Then BTC ripped like 4k in two days while I was sitting flat, and I spent that whole run buying back in higher than I'd sold. The little wins were real. They just never added up to the one move I scalped myself out of.
Yes the same old fad of quick asymmetrical gains. Crypto will look good in comparison and BTC becomes the new gold when it matures and there are no more coins to mine. I see BTC surviving and becoming like literal digital gold,succeeding as a store of value and fulfilling its ultimate goal.
Not my BTC …. I switched to daily DCA about three years ago and haven’t looked back. I buy the same amount every day regardless of price, and I’m up roughly 44% at current levels. I used to make big lump-sum buys, but DCA has been less stressful and more effective for me. Very few people consistently time the market well.
Damn you could not be more wrong, I know a handful of early bitcoin millionaires and none of them have issues spending their BTC. One of them even went straight to a lamborghini dealer in Miami and purchased a Countach using BTC.
Well, if BTC goes 15k because of USDT you are going to have that MSTR black swan as a free bonus on top.
Sorry but can't take you seriously when you say you are a HODLer and that the price is driven by sentiment. The price is actually driven by the underlying asset which is Bitcoin. And hey feel free to sell. I just started buying IBIT as BTC is bottoming over the next several months ahead of its next cycle.
You're onto Something OP. WallSt is smelling blood with STRC/MSTR and you know what that means. They don't want money from buying BTC cheap, but from STRC/MSTR stock in the gutter. And they're attacking their funding, not so much BTC. If STRC/MSTR cannot run the business because funding is too expensive, they'll need to sell coins to pay for it. And the recent sell of a handful of coins was the canary in the coalmine.
9day old account, 1 karma point... "Hello I own 8.5 BTC..." Totally believable 🧐
Just Bitcoin, nothing else. Our portfolio is the example. 100% BTC treasury
You could easily re-draw those lines to show it has not broken out. But yeah I am pretty heavy in ETH. 50/50 ETH BTC.
BTC is a point to point asset. You do not make money holding it, only selling for more than you bought it for, Is the only way to make money. Forever holds do not make you money.
Well, yeah they can do anything they want with USD, that's why you don't want to save on USD but on other assets. Fractional reserves: that happens if you go against the whole purpose of BTC: self custody: not your keys not your coins. The whole point is: you can't have fast payment metods such as Paypal or Visa with blockchain. You just can't because of the trilemma. You can go safer or you can go faster. Also, let's be realistic: people is not going to massively adopt crypto for savings, payments etc... We have the option to do it but it's still an option and after 15 years it's still a very low minority. And it would still be a minority even if it was fast, because it's NOT official money. The point is that I can keep my wealth in BTC and I can transfer it in a decentralized way. That's a reality and it works and it will never be faster than centralized methods. But still I don't care because I don't want to pay stuff in bitcoin.
I paid in BTC then topped up again by re-purchasing the amount immediately. If we want BTC to be useable as money we have to use it as such.
> I seriously doubt BTC ever gets above 100k ever again. I mean you have given 0 reason so I will disregard that, but even based on former bears/bulls it could actually take a really long time to get to 100k again, like we could be talking 2 or even 4-5 years..
> One good recovery day for BTC someday, and the entire doomer narrative will flip 😒 Like to where? A sudden jump from now 59k like to 85k, then 110k?
Post is by: babarob98 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ukmep7/quantum/ Hi fellow Bitcoiners, I would consider myself a long term holder of BTC. I am not writing this post because “sentiment” is low or anything. I would be writing the same post even if price was at 200k. Down to my point. I don’t see many Bitcoiners worried about the quantum threat. The excuse is always “oh we will do a fork, we’ve done it before” or “Banks and everything will be fucked too”. My concern right now is that, yes a fork is possible, but for the Bitcoin devs to align it could take years… For example the block size war took 4 years and Taproot took 2 years. With Q-Day being around the corner, expected 2030 or even 2029 now. BIP-361 proposes eventually freezing wallets that haven’t migrated to quantum-safe addresses, and that goes against Bitcoin’s most sacred principle “immutability” and no central control. That debate alone could slow the entire upgrade process for years while the clock ticks. And it’s not just a technical problem, it’s also a philosophical civil war waiting to happen. I am concerned about OG Bitcoiners and devs not being worried about and working on this subject enough. In my opinion we might not make it on time if it takes years to align on simple subjects, let alone this one which questions the core principles of BTC. What are your thoughts on that? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Yes, but not specifically bullish on BTC. Like in 2022, I was bullish on SOL despite it dropping to single digit prices, because the price was clearly detached from the fundamentals. Right now there are a handful of things I'm bullish on, but the market has matured a bit so none of those are down 80% and the things that *are* down 80% probably deserve it.
Send it but I’d buy 30k worth right now and if it hits 50k buy another 15k if it hits 40k buy another 15k find another 15k if it hits 30k. BTC rewards those who add on aggressively as it goes down
I tired to convince people to buy it but they didn’t want to I had a very small amount in the market back then and BTC was only like 5% allocation. I think I had 300 or so in BTC at 17k avg bought over a few month period
How many times BTC has been declared dead?
BTC gives you the freedom to choose what you want. You can keep or sell. No one will gain or lose but you. If you are in dire need of money then sell. If not then keep. You know and I know that it will go up and by a lot.
every get-rich-quick-scheme ends with bagholders. The BTC winners are cashing out and the losers... well...
I agree on the first part, most of my investments are not in crypto. But I think BTC is still a good investment.
Thus post is the sound of someone who bought the top, didn't have the stomach for the cycle, and is looking for external validation to justify throwing in the towel. Man nobody can force you to hold. Sell your shit but speak facts bro. a macro cycle grinds down, tech stocks are capturing all the market attention and retail investors flee to chase volatility elsewhere. Thats what happened. The people left behind in crypto spaces like OP get bitter. They mistake a temporary loss of market momentum for a structural failure. If we used his logic then everytime BTC takes a dump it has failed and is dead. Btw this is not the worst downturn. Everyone assumes BTC will go to 30k or 40k. Do they have a crystal ball to know that? This is probably the 490th time bitcoin is dead..probably more...this is the exact type of bs that historically marks the accumulation zones where smart money quietly builds their positions while These paper hand dudes FUD their way out of opportunity. You played yourself.
You begin with the wallet you’ve always had, for years you’ve had this wallet. We’ll say wallet A. Then, in order to protect the bitcoins from entering the new chain, as is being discussed, you move them to a new wallet, wallet B. Wallet B will have an entirely new seed phrase, completely different from Wallet A’s. This is why the person who is saying “It would be super annoying to have to etch a new seed phrase” is saying so because they would be moving their orignal BTC to a wallet they do not want interacting with the fork, and have to etch that new wallet’s keys for longterm preservation, because that is how they have chosen to store their private keys.
This is cherry-picking. If you zoom in on a specific 5-year window that begins at a massive cyclical peak and ends in the absolute trenches of a brutal multi-month drawdown, I can use that same logic bro. I can make any high-performing asset look terrible on paper not just BTC. This is FUD nonsense man. you are deliberately ignoring the structural asymmetry of bitcoin. The S&P 500 doesn't experience 70–80% drawdowns sure but it also doesn't give you generational, asymmetric upside over a 10-to-15-year horizon. It will never fucking happen. So trying to measure btc's fundamental thesis purely by a localized, cherry-picked 5-year ROI during a tech-led equity rally is an emotional reaction to a red chart bro. And fyi no asset can magically become a widely accepted medium of exchange overnight without first establishing itself as a reliable Store of Value. Bitcoin is a work in progress at that. It's volatle,dpeculstive but it is evolving into that. A good percentage of the world still haven't discovered or used bitcoin yet. That is obvious. Expecting it to behave like a stable, fully mature fiat currency while it is still expanding its global network effect is putting the cart miles ahead of the horse. Absolutely regarded take. Look at Bitcoin for wha it is right now. It is undeniably an immutable, decentralized network with massive institutional rails, public corporate balance sheets, and multi-billion-dollar global spot ETFs. Calling it a rug pull is pure frustration talking man. There is no CEO. No unlock schedule no centralized treasury to dump on holders. So what the f are you talking about?
Here is a quote from the President. BTC is the best way for criminals to hide transactions and steal from rubes along the way. My bestie, God rest his soul, used it to pay off judges.
Nah, this would be wayyyy too easy of a bear market. You literally give up all hope and just accept that Bitcoin is done for -- and when you finally just stop looking and caring about it, accepting that all your BTC is going to $0 -- then it miraculously pulls out of it.
Sinking ship? Lol Do you think companies like BlackRock will lose money? Corporate entities and institutional funds now own roughly **3.2 million to 3.5 million BTC**—about **15% to 16.5%** of the total 21 million Bitcoin supply. Here is the quick breakdown of where it sits: **Spot ETFs:** Wall Street funds (like BlackRock and Fidelity) hold the largest institutional share, commanding over 1.6 million BTC. **MicroStrategy:** The world's largest corporate holder owns over 700,000 BTC, which is more than 3.5% of the total supply. **Public Miners:** Companies like MARA and Riot platforms collectively hold over 50,000 BTC from active mining operations. **Corporate Treasuries:** Other public and private firms (like Tesla and Block) hold an additional 200,000+ BTC combined. And this is just the public data. Sinking ship? Lol
I would invest some into Bitcoin, like 3-5% of your net worth, 15% is high but you're young and it's the time to take more riskier investments. I see BTC hitting 150k again, but it might not be until 2028.
The kind of courage I need to, but will never have. I am a very conservative risk taker 34M and my gut feeling has proven I was right many times. If you think a lot of things cannot go wrong at the same time, you are wrong, or maybe you know your luck cycle. From reading your replies, you keep saying it will definitely be double or 100K. If it was that simple to predict, everyone and their granddad would double their money. But the BTC cycle or pattern can change anytime and BTC can be at 15k for years to come. No one knows. For me I lost my job and whole lot of things at the same time in succession, But my safe investments + years of savings gave me peace of mind. What if an unforeseen accident occurs, that hinders income ? What if there could be another recession ? Wrong sub to say this , but If you borrow 100k and at least throw it in ETFs , you'll definitely have long term growth
I DCAd for years but also put in a lot of savings around 20k-100k throughout the time when there were big dips. Then I went and bought a house and sold a part of my crypto when BTC was around 105k or so. I told myself I’d DCA fast after the purchase but every month it’s something else. This broken down at the house. Needed to add a fence. Other expenses like all my tires got shredded. Next is a bunch of car maintenance again lol. A year later I’ve bought only like 5k in crypto and 3500 was btc. BUT the light is coming. I can see it.
Another 3500 BTC left IBIT yesterday. 🤣
Serious question. How can anyone really considered to be a BTC technical investor?
That’s probably what they have when it was set up. There was 0.4418852 BTC sent on March 3,2015 and another dust amount of 0.00002132 BTC on March 31,2026 probably from a scammer.

Bitcoin is for winners who have the guts to buy when it’s scary and weaklings are crying about BTC (like right now) and sell when it has gone up 200% and everyone wants to get in on the action.
Probably an old screenshot. The actual [wallet](https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/159L1v25bWPbRBy9sLCtjDEn6Vqk7USCKD) has 0.44190652 BTC
BTC wont get to 0, but it might.
They're saying they keep their private key etched into something physical. If they move their BTC to a new wallet, they'll need to etch the key for the new wallet in order to store it physically like they have the old one.
This time feels different because the shine is off on institutional investment and there are so many other distractions from institutions (AI), no real government adoption, and with more than 50% of BTC underwater, fear from new entrants. A novel problem looking for a solution.
I'm going to sell my NFTs and buy more BTC in the Dip !!!
> They do it already to reduce the memory requirements to run a node. This makes no sense. Mining a dust UTXO does not reduce memory requirements. It has nothing to do with it. >If fees did get to 100$ there would be very little dusting in any case and it is a fraction of the un-pruned blockchain today. That's a nice way of saying 99% will only own dust and there are unable to use BTC at all.
The question isn't who is selling, the question is who is buying when crypto returns look like this and a safe boring boomer S&P 500 index is returning 164% from early 2018 and 65% from late 2021? LTC is -18 from December 2013 XRP is -55% from December 2017 ADA is -80% from December 2017 ZEC is -45% from January 2018 XMR is -20% from January 2018 ETH is -18% from January 2018 when accounting for inflation LINK is -60% from 2020 SOL is -70% from 2021 price BNB is -20% from 2021 price Even BTC is -13% from 2021 high
MetaPlanet has also purchased over 40,000BTC in 2026. I can keep going, just lmk how dumb you’d like to look!
Them going down means BTC will see a significant drop from here. BTC could drop -30% from here.
I mean… El Salvador literally just bought BTC yesterday 🤡
I mean everyone is saying we’re at the bottom but we’re down 2.5% this AM. Is this people getting out before Saylor “monetizes” the 2 billion 💵 of BTC?
The rise to 100K had the following catalysts: 1) MSTR buying billions every chance they got 2) The election of a "pro-crypto" administration 3) Institutional ETFs, allowing boomer money to buy BTC 4) The rise of Stablecoins 5) The worst inflation in the last 40 years 6) And most importantly, the backdrop of a 13+ year bull run (minus a blip in April 2020) What else is there? You have to have more people buying into bitcoin for it to go up, that is the cold hard truth. Now: MSTR has cratered, STRC is looking incredibly unstable, and the only way out for them is to dump their bitcoin. Trump is 2 years in and really only cares about grifting (Trump coin) and the EU has halted a crypto exchange. We could easily see an anti-crypto candidate emerge in the US. Institutional money, who were already skeptical of bitcoin and don't understand it, have now been roasted, all while watching index funds do what they always do, deliver returns. They are not going to come back. Stablecoins are still around, but if some of these companies get audited things could go sideways fast. Inflation is much more inline with where it has been almost all of my life, you can't tell people their fiat is evaporating at 13% anymore. If the markets finally cool off, and I suspect they will if you look at the Shiller PE ratio, stocks are overvalued at almost the peak dotcom boom, many people (not bitcoin diehards, but the people that have bought in and pushed it up this much) are going to sell anything that is risky and retreat to safety. The fact that it has cratered like this during a bull market is a terrible sign.
A mercenary is selling heavily into the euphoric bull run and buying during bears. You said you've been for a long time yet you didn't buy BTC or any other alt and made money off of them. Either that or you lost money on some shitcoin hence You've been here for a long time longing for BTC death innit? How many times has BTC declared dead? And it always rekindles and hit new ATHs
