Post is by: SyntaxSource and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rld47n/bitcoin_near_74k_while_pi_network_leads_altcoin/ Bitcoin climbed to around **$74,000**, its highest level in about a month, before facing resistance and pulling back to around **$72,000**. The recovery comes after BTC dropped to **$63,000** last weekend during geopolitical tensions but quickly rebounded. Ethereum also moved higher, rising above **$2,100**, while major altcoins like **Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP** posted moderate gains. The biggest mover earlier is **Pi Network’s PI token**, which jumped about **13%**, making it the top gainer among major altcoins. Overall, the crypto market added roughly **$60 billion** in value, pushing the total market cap above **$2.5 trillion** as most crypto trade in the green.

Die Volatilität hängt vor allem damit zusammen, dass es sich als Zahlungsmittel etablieren muss. Wenn ich irgendwann meine ganzen Euros abgelehnt habe und dann was kaufen will, dazu dann aber am Ende einen Gutschein kaufen muss, sodass der Händler es in Euro umtauscht, dann bringt das auch wenig. Ziel ist es, einen Kreislauf zu entwickeln, in dem man BTC nicht mehr gegen Euro verkaufen muss.

Congrats on becoming a whole coiner! Having nearly 2 BTC is a huge milestone. Just letting it ride at this point sounds like a solid plan. Keep those diamond hands!

TheresNoSecondBest

**You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket.** 6.15 BTC is where you want to be.

Six months to get 1 BTC is a strong DCA 😆 But I agree the overall advice 👌

aspee38

I had a boating accident and lost all my Bitcoins, but if I were you, I'd keep buying. The idea is to DCA, not just buy once. If you can buy that much BTC at once, your lifestyle is clearly above average, so you should stack more to match it.

financeguruIB

BTC is king buddy. With that kind of portfolio you can afford to buy a whole bitcoin. If you want to buy alts then look into TAO(Bittensor) same fixed supply as Bitcoin. Decentralized AI SOL (Solana) future of Internet capital markets and ETH biggest competitor ETH as well for stability RENDER (Decentralized GPU compute)

Short-Cantaloupe-899

Interesting summary. The 4-year cycle pattern has definitely been one of the most persistent structural patterns in BTC, mostly because the halving keeps creating supply shocks that ripple through liquidity cycles. One thing I’ve noticed though is that while the **macro cycle structure tends to repeat**, the **short-term path inside the cycle is extremely noisy**. Two bull cycles can look similar on a 4-year chart but behave very differently week-to-week depending on liquidity, macro sentiment, and volatility. That’s why I’ve been experimenting with separating two layers when looking at BTC: **Structural cycle context (multi-year)** Halving → expansion → distribution → reset. **Short-term statistical forecasts (days / weeks)** Trying to estimate the probable path inside that macro regime using market drivers like volume pressure, macro indices, volatility sentiment, etc. What’s interesting is that when you run short-horizon models (like 7-day forecasts), the market often moves **against the intuitive “cycle narrative” in the short term**, even when the longer-term trend stays intact. So I tend to think of the cycle more as a **macro backdrop**, while the actual price path inside it is mostly driven by shorter-term market pressure and liquidity conditions. Curious if anyone here has tried combining **cycle phase + short-horizon statistical forecasts** rather than relying purely on the cycle projection.

Salty_Lab_8935

Right! I also had an experimental phase where I was using the fomo family to monitor trending altcoins and just check out the people who are making trades. I'm settled now, just doing BTC but I always pop in to see how the altcoins are doing.

It’s not as safe as the original BTC blockchain network, but of the 2nd layer solutions, probably the best and closest to the original one.

>Surely you would've rather bought that Bitcoin at 5k or 20k instead of buying it at 103k and waiting for years of lost opportunity cost to maybe make it back? Of course but I didn't for multiple reasons (focused on other stuff, didn't see BTC as a serious investment for the longest time). If your point is I could've waited for a better opportunity to buy rather than at 103k then yes with the price being ~70k right now that's obvious. Would I have delayed buying in if I had more knowledge of the space? I don't know. My plan has always been to hold long-term (min. 4-5 years) so I wasn't that nitpicky about it. I still disagree with your original point that you need to actually use crypto to understand how to make a profit off it. I don't think there's any correlation between utility/technology and what the price of a token is.

Substantial_Ad_2116

BTC don't give a *shii*

BuildWithJohnny

Solid approach. For a 3/5 year horizon with an 8/12% allocation I'd suggest. 1. Bitcoin (BTC) Core holding digital gold institutional gateway. 2. Ethereum (ETH) Smart contract leader deep liquidity ETF potential. 3. Solana (SOL) High speed growing ecosystem institutional traction. 4. One infra play like Chainlink (LINK) or a major L2 like Arbitrum (ARB). 5. Possibly a small bet on a macro play like Ondo or Maker if you want RWA exposure. DCA in on pullbacks store in self-custody and rebalance occasionally. Welcome to the circus.

watch-nerd

I think BTC probably will go to zero over the long term. The idea that it will be worth something in the year 2100 is ludicrous to me. In the mean time, happy to play the game of PVP chicken for profit taking.

watch-nerd

I am. At 60% spot long, 40% short MAR futures, I win more on up days. Shorts are very far from liquidation: BTC intraday short liquidation $145,641 / overnight $126,224 ETH intraday short liquidation $6850 / overnight $5588

Careful_Rooster_113

So if everyone waits until October, do you believe BTC will wait until October? Or do you suppose smart money front runs that prior cycle timeline?

jlittle984

Millionaires, for better or worse, in one way or another, figured out how to accumulate a lot of fist. Even though they could benefit significantly from BTC. they don’t need, or it’s associated risk and volatility to stay wealthy… I hope to lap some of them and leave them in the Fiat dustbin.

Strong_Garlic2990

Wow congrats man, getting to 1 BTC before 21 is insane. I’m pretty new to investing, I only have about $150 in BTC that I bought during the dip and it’s been going up a bit. Want to keep stacking sats slowly. Where do you guys usually keep your BTC? On exchanges like Binance or do you move it to a wallet? Just trying to learn the safest way.

FoundationNo6368

Congratulations on this major milestone. However, let this be the last time that you ever divulged, in public, how many BTC that you have. I remember when I reached a whole coin. That was the best feeling of accomplishment. Even better than when I reached 5, 10, or even 20 coins. Cherish the feeling. Keep on stackin.

ETHERC20

BTC, ETH, SOL should definitely be your core holdings (BTC being the heaviest). If you want to add some altcoins, stick to ones with actual fundamentals — exchange tokens like BNB, HYPE, that kind of thing. Skip memes and honestly most coins that bring zero real value — 99% of them will still be sitting near their lows long-term.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

dtg99

Trend flipped bearish months ago. BTC is literally just doing what is has always done.

RobinhoodtraderBTC

Could be that they only now decided BTC has a future now that they see it rising. It’s not a bad time to buy if you believe it will go up way past where it sits now, and plus, when you DCA you don’t care about price.

Start with BTC, it is king and most follow. I also have plays in eth, sol and hbar. Those cryptos aren’t going anywhere. Any of the current ones with spot etfs are fine. Make sure to check the expense ratios to see how you feel

BTC mostly. Possibly ETH and SOL. Bitcoin will outperform everything in the long run.

I haven’t only been buying BTC for two years — I’ve been strictly DCA’ing for the past two. Before that, I made multiple lump-sum purchases. In total, I’ve been in the market for about six years.

No_Bullfrog_5994

I hope so I’m tired of BTC being so expensive it’s just not worth the flip. 70k to 130k is less than double the amount put in. So if you can only afford 2000 you’ll get 4000 which is not making much of a difference. Just let it die to 30k again, then 2000 could end up being 6000 and so forth. Much better investment. 

Subject-Chest-8343

Well, in OP's scenario, the cost basis was 40k. Selling 1 BTC at 100k means a realized gain of 60k. Assuming you do pay 10k in taxes and buy back 1.3 BTC at a new 70k cost basis, and then sell some time in the future for 200k... That's a new realized gain of 169k. On the other hand, the person who held on from 40k to 200k and didn't sell ends up with a realized gain of 160k. So the tax bill will be a bit less, but coming from a smaller cash pile, because he sold 1 BTC vs 1.3 BTC. I suppose it depends on how much BTC we're talking about and what your tax bracket is. If you sell for a fuckton of money far in the future, that tax bill is going to be big no matter what you do. On the shorter term, if you sell a million dollars worth to buy back lower, the tax you pay now reduces how much you can buy back. So it has to drop by at least X amount to make it worthwile, otherwise you have the same amount of BTC albeit at a higher cost basis. If you're poor, though, and manage to turn 0.1 BTC into 0.2 BTC, because you're in a low tax bracket, that's significant. Especially if you sell it in small chunks in retirement, staying in a low tax bracket.

LinusVPelt

BTC doesn't have defi integration or functionality. AI agents would be able just to hold it or move it to another address. Why should it be the preferred choice?

Advanced-Industry-50

Even I am sad tbh, I was promised bear market till October, so I had scheduled some sweet recurring buys every Sunday. Also some dry powder in events where it goes to 40k.  Probably first time sad that BTC went up😂

AdrianHawk1220

Well its not impossible to use your 401k or your IRAs as collateral. Tools available to working class. And BTC should be no different. Even more so because everyone with an internet connection can access it.

Vino1980

Good for you. Thinking of selling an FJ for more BTC myself.

Tokenised gold solves most of what satoshi was trying to solve with BTC. Divisible, transactable, scarce haha

It’s because of that China btc treasury company JZXN acquiring 10k bitcoin. That’s a large amount with potential access to more capital and a sign China may be more open to BTC

RockandFeller

Rode from 500$ to 20K then 3000$ then 70K. Sold only at the 70K mark because i was aiming for 50-100K mark. Didnt go nuts when it crashed. Ignored the noise because i had a plan. Then i started gambling with alts. Made a ton. Lost a ton. Since 2021 i noticed that the market is really changing. One lesson someone told me long time ago that i now understand. BTC is the way. The rest is casino.

unpopular opinion but, maybe put some BTC into an exchange, or a bitcoin ETF, like the blackrock one. That would be the simplest way to handle that. Not only it would be harder to get stolen or lost, it would make it easier tax wise. Yes, you get other risks by doing that, but if one of your main goals is to ensure your parents or wife will get your BTC, that would be my best guess. Specially if they are not tech savy, cause even if you do everything perfectly and they recieve your detailed instructions how to get the BTC from the trezor, they still might: * send the BTC to a wrong adress and lose it forever. * They might ask for help to someone, and get robbed without knowing it. * They could mess up their taxes badly, and get in trouble with the Tax man.

MundaneOrdinary7493

If you think there is absolutely no reason for btc to have even $1 of fundamentally backed value, then BTC must go to zero over the long term, like 20 years. I disagree with that for the reasons I pointed to above. You can trade profitably in the short term without regard to fundamental value or long term behavior, as long as you understand the forces that drive the price movements better than others doing the same. I have no disagreement about any of that.

CarrotLevel99

Remember when BTC “100 k in 2021 “ actually hit 100k in 2024

watch-nerd

What something trades at, its price, can decouple from value. I trade BTC as a volatility game, but I don’t think that means anything about its fundamentals other than others are willing to play the same game.

donjoe0

Even if tech has become the new safe haven, once the war scare dies down people should still be expected to come out of their safe havens and rotate back into whatever looks like growth and promising risk-on stories. In that case the new BTC rally could prove to be just a partial bounce and could still return to the lows and still push for those 45-50k values that a lot of people have been predicting.

PrestigiousAd9825

$61K was a support level - because the price didn't fall through it, it's created a market speculation where larger players are taking long positions in it to pump it up. In winters, BTC pumps value out like a heart pumps blood. It'll crash deeper once the price turns again.

DasKapitalist

The most interesting part is how significant an increaae even a conservative 10% BTC share of a portfolio has on returns. +17.5% *on the entire portfolio* for a 10% share is enormous. For most other investments, you'd need to invest a huge % of your portfolio into an extremely risky asset like Ukranian Tourism Futures to get that type of return.

Fro3en_Cornchip

It baffles me how certain most people are here that the bottom is in because the price is going back up. Do they not realise BTC still has rallies during bear markets?

DwightsShirtGuy

I think BTC will push to another 3 to 5% before cooling off.

There are a lot of ways to buy it. You can use PayPal or CashApp if you already have accounts. Coinbase is probably the biggest US-friendly exchange. If just buying a small amount to play around with it's likely fine to just leave it where you buy it. You can look into custodial wallets if you want to get a little more serious, or use the BTC to make grey market purchases.

No_Giraffe_4647

In my opinion most of the uptrend catalysts were there but ignored so far: 1/ extreme fear indicator: we could not go lower it was only expected to bounce from there 2/ the clarity act finally coming to last stage, opening doors for more cash flows and mass adoption 3/ the war: Middle East money is flooding into BTC it has already been shown and explained on many chats and subs analysis please search 4/ the short liquidation: there was a lot of short selling activity that needed to be force closed and now we have a reverse trend. 5/ risk awareness on AI sector: investors are rotating from this risky sector to another less risky and fairly priced (crypto) I am thinking that this trend may continue for a while not sure about how long and how high.

Character-Resist-961

lol BTC is still flat for the last 30 days.

aaj094

I think what Saylor has done through the real time STRC dashboard is basically give the market a view into his constant buying and that must have at least some psychological effect of thoroughly discouraging any shorting. Who wants to open a short position when you can see a live progress of constant spot buying every minute of the trading day? And this apart from creating a real flywheel of fiat into BTC.

bbrout

Way too early to tell; but BTC as a "safe" haven? The volume is still too low. However, there's a lot of BTC in storage. Nevertheless, a safe haven is the design feature. No one knows at this stage. Buckle up.

cashflashmil

BTC is still the main driver and risk barometer, it’ll show the direction. But a few alts will almost certainly outperform hard - just with way nastier drawdowns on the way. So the game is not guessing “which moon coin”, it’s managing size and timing so that one bad alt bet doesn’t blow up your whole stack

Historical-Olive-630

Probably my guess is the confirmation of the Pro Bitcoin Fed Chair might help and usually BTC does the opposite of what you think it will do.

partymsl

I am surprised Saylor didn't bribe his way to the FED chair, could have easily done it by purchasing TRUMP instead of BTC for one week.

CryptoCircle_

I believe that BTC will lead and guide as it has so far, but there will certainly be a few altcoins that will make a very big and profitable leap for some, but the risk is also commensurate with the gain.

Previous-Piano-6108

Few people on here like to talk about another option: DCA but keep reserves to buy more during the dips When BTC is at the ATH, DCA less and save for when it dips Or another option: only buy on red candles.

jup1t3rr

Yeah im done lol, kids just took any chance i had at eating, and can't get the 15kusd to get past mr.worldwides memecoins.

Dangermiller25

I’m a big fan of BTC and own more than most but if you are looking for the fastest crypto for full final settlement I would say XRP. It’s sooo fast, if I send from my phone I can look at the ledger on my desktop and it’s done in 2 seconds. Fully done. I know most BTCers hate XRP but it’s fast.

spokesman74

BTC is still faster if you want to transfer huge (millions etc) amounts of money

Accomplished-Tap916

For larger amounts, you'll likely need to use a P2P exchange like Bisq. Once you have the BTC, running your own node and using a service like Qoest to monitor your wallet's incoming transactions can help you verify everything privately

Post is by: Responsible_Potato76 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/HodlyCrypto/comments/1rkra0p/bitcoin_surges_past_73k_what_this_means_for/ Bitcoin has officially reclaimed the $73,000 level today, March 4, 2026. As of now, BTC is trading around $73,200, up 7.2% in the last 24 hours. 24-hour trading volume has exploded to roughly $68-75 billion, pushing Bitcoin’s market cap above $1.46 trillion. Three clear forces right now: 1. Haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions, investors rotating into Bitcoin as “digital gold” while traditional markets remain under pressure. 2. Strong ETF inflows, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $458 million in net inflows on March 2 alone (the strongest recent daily figure), with BlackRock’s IBIT alone pulling in $263 million. This institutional buying pressure has been consistent and is clearly supporting the breakout. 3. Major banks joining the ETF race, JP Morgan Chase has stepped up big time, now offering direct access to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs through its J.P. Morgan Self-Directed Investing platform and significantly boosting its own holdings in spot Bitcoin ETFs (up 64% to $343 million in BlackRock’s IBIT alone in recent filings). Additional fuel came from \~$400 million in short liquidations over the past day, accelerating the move higher. Sudden +7% pumps can feel exciting, but they also test discipline. History shows these ETF-driven rallies, especially with big banks like JP Morgan getting more involved, often mark periods of accumulation. With thin order books above $73K (limited sell walls up to $80K in some analyses), momentum could continue, but volatility remains elevated. Despite today’s strong surge past $73K, there is still significant risk in the market. We are in a US midterm election year, and history shows these years are often extremely volatile and painful for Bitcoin, with major drawdowns in past cycles (2014, 2018, 2022). And yet… this year is the perfect year to accumulate Bitcoin. I know how heavy the uncertainty feels right now, the headlines screaming, the charts swinging, but this is exactly the kind of environment where patient holders quietly build life-changing positions. Stay calm. Accumulate wisely. Not financial advice. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Recent events in the Middle East have led people to buy BTC because it offers them freedom of movement. There were problems with many banks during those days.

dormango

How sure are you that this news is what has caused BTC price rises today?

Suguha_chan

Lucky to be early. Once BTC has established itself worldwide as a store of value used by everyone, we won't see those big pumps anymore, then it will really be just a store of value. Right now its a booster of value

drizzlead

coinbase is the obvious one but honestly? robinhood crypto. my non-crypto friends already had robinhood for stocks so adding BTC was literally just tapping a button. zero friction because they were already in the app

gorewndis

The people who actually kept their gains had one thing in common: they decided what "enough" looked like before the number hit. Most people treat crypto like a slot machine - they don't have a number, they just have a feeling. And feelings don't trigger sell orders. What I've noticed this cycle is that the smart money is way more boring than people expect. They're not chasing new L1s or memecoins. They're sitting in ETH and BTC, maybe some DeFi blue chips, and they have specific price targets written down somewhere. The discipline to sell into strength when everything feels like it'll go higher is genuinely the hardest skill in this space. Way harder than finding the right token.

dj_destroyer

Personally I think this is good for the United States but not overly great for Bitcoin or financial assets in general. The guy is incredibly hawkish and prefers higher interest rates and less QE. I know that BTC pumped on this news but not entirely sure why. Miran would have been better for Bitcoin, no doubt.

Gen_X15

Holding a bit of BTC w my wife. NF selling until 200k+ or new ATH. Super cycle engines are warming up.

andys811

I'm not sure if it will be the same in US as UK and there's a slight catch but with an imo easy work around. Trading212 offers a card that has both auto invest cashback and invest spare change (which is round up). It's a debit card and you receive 1.5% cashback. The catch is it only auto invests into shares not crypto, however you can set it to auto invest into a Bitcoin ETF, the ETF will track the price and then you can either just hold the ETF or after some time just sell the ETF and use the money to buy actual BTC. Credit card options are still a good choice however if you get more cashback from them, which isn't the case in the UK from what I've looked at. Not only do you get the cashback but you will also earn interest on the money you spend up until the due date, just make sure you pay off the full balance statement or it won't be worth it

BigA19900

Yes it’s enough to buy $15 worth of BTC every week.

Sharlach

No, but you could use wrapped(tokenized) BTC if you want to "hold btc" and use it with DeFi and smart contracts.

andys811

Objectively speaking it is worse to leave cashback on the table. Spending less of your own money upfront is irrelevant. With cashback if you spend less you still have that money to invest, if I make 3 payments today of £10.01, I can invest £2.97 at the end of the day as the round up, and I get an additional 15p on top, I use a 1.5% cashback debit card (I'm UK out credit cards suck for rewards). In your scenario that £10.01 3 times will cost you £33 and you will have £2.97 of BTC. In my scenario it will cost you £29.58 and you will have £0.45 of BTC if you invest cashback, you can then invest the round up at £2.97 costing you £32.55 instead of £33 and you will have £3.42 worth of BTC instead

But Reddit told me $50K BTC is a given we did not even come close to it. Looks like new ATH is on the way now.

That was an AI Satoshi that told you that; the real BTC CEO never promised such a discount

You have to pay for round up aswell what are you talking about? There is nothing you get from automated rounding up if you really wanted to you could do it manually on top of cashback, cashback on the other hand is actually free as it quite literally lowing your expense, meaning you have more money to put into BTC. It's not about getting as much cashback as you can it's about keeping more money after your expenses and investing the difference

You are aiming for $80k to sell and you think others will too? I don't think so, I am not selling BTC.

Today it flagged a possible BTC trend shift forming. The interesting part is the divergence between price action and sentiment. Curious if anyone else here is seeing something similar on their charts. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Exactly. Is there anything more bullish than BTC being dead at 75K?

The BTC CEO got a loan. So it can keep working. Thank you Mr Satoshi Nakamoto!

Check the history of BTC after the full moon…. Very very strange.

If you DCA and hold, you'll be wealthier over time. Trading has historically been the best way to lose BTC, not gain it. Even worse now, since you're competing with professional traders and AI. Stack sats, not fiat!
