Alt seasons don’t work that way anymore because of dilution. They are more sector specific that later spread onto the broader market. For example the last alt season in Nov 2023 started with fetch/render then Solana and alt L1s, then ETH defi, and finally memes. And yes alt seasons can start after BTC had crashed. In 2017 alt seasons started after BTC had already dropped from 20k to 13k and in April 2021 when BTC dropped from 65k to 49k.

Don't take out credit. Only commit your money. And don't forget to have precautionary savings, don't waste all your money otherwise you will end up having to sell BTC to have liquidity in the event of a problem.

knuckle_buster42069

I have gold. I also have BTC.

Adept-Ad-738

They can dig for more gold. It’s good to trust BTC. But remember BTC is a currency, not a stock. It’s also good to have a diversified investment strategy. A portion of your assets should definitely be in BTC

CHawkeye

Every few days people post in here they have “lost it all” by leveraging against BTC in an attempt to get more. Don’t be one of those people.

DryMyBottom

if taxation on BTC increased a lot in your country starting from 2026, would you move your investment from the real thing to the ETF where the taxation stays the same? 

Quirky-Reveal-1669

I value XAU as much as BTC. They are complimentary.

TheUnholyMoly

Gold supply is increasing more rapidly as technology improves. I don't think it's a lack of trust in gold, BTC is just the better asset IMO

DonasAskan

I would agree but there are a lot of people who pour money daily/monthly/weekly into BTC as a savings vehicle.

Potential_Giraffe870

My money is on your husbands father just does not want to do the right thing and give you guys your share OR he has already cashed out and there is no BTC left. Have you got proof / wallet address that shows he is still holding?

Lemurtime2

Rich men north of Richmond can't pass a budget to save their life, bud the deficit, just keeps skyrocketing. Ultimately more dollar devaluation pressure...should be bullish for BTC?

ReasonableZombie5564

Maybe Coin futures at 1.5x or 2X really safe ig liquidation price would be low. When you earn some profit you can close the trade and buy 1 BTC in spot. But 0.8 BTC is still BTC so if i were you i would not future trade it.

Few_Interactions_

Anyone know why ICP been pumping, its been doing inverse of BTC when it was dumping

ITHEDARKKNIGHTI

DCA - don't take a loan out to get that whole coin. I know how enticing it is to see that number 1 next to BTC in whatever respective app you use but take it from someone that listened to that fucking scumbag Raoul Paul, who in the fall of '21 said: "There's so much bloody money coming into BTC in Q1 and Q2 - it'll never be this low again!". So I went out and got a whole coin... at the top... and it fell all the way down to 13K the following year... DCA - watch where we're at in 'the cycle' and the fear and greed index. Happy Hunting.

GreenStretch

BTC I don't care about the short term price, but I hope there's enough of a bull to cast off my remaining shitcoins at a fiat profit.

gowithflow192

Apparently BTC and top alts like ETH have topped but there are bullish signals on alts outside of top 10, especially alts outside of top 100. Any alts you've spotted that are close to their floor price? I believe these may be about to surge for the next couple of weeks at least.

Woodpecker5987

This is hilarious 😂 Halloween vibes are near, so I might join Bitget’s Halloween too, at least I’ll have my own little celebration and something fun to do besides staring at BTC all day.

epic_trader

> But isn’t the demand is mainly of not only from transactions since it’s a utility token? No, and ETH isn't a utility token, it's exactly the same as BTC, just for Ethereum. The main driver for demand for ETH is for staking and as collateral or trading pair in DeFi. The amount paid in fees can hardly be measured compared to the demand for using the token on the network. >And if the price does increase couldn’t someone like SOL or ADA or anyone steal market share? If they could, wouldn't they have done so by now? It's always been cheaper to use ADA and SOL, so why are people paying a premium to use Ethereum you think? It's because Ethereum offers substantially better security and decentralization and robustness. > I mean what’s ETHs moat? It’s not really decentralized, who even runs a ETH node and its centrally controlled by big V Ethereum is by far the most decentralized blockchain, like by a billion miles, so I don't even know what you're talking about. And I think neither do you. Unless you're trolling ;D

Spiritual-Welder-113

The best decision I made was on March 6, 2024, when I started investing just $1 a day. I began reading a lot about Bitcoin and gradually increased my DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging). I’m still continuing the plan — and I want to see 1 BTC = $15 million by 2045. In the short term, I’m fine even if it drops to $10,000… because that just means I’ll buy more.

Interesting_Loss_907

No. There is no capital gains tax liability when you *transfer* BTC from one wallet to another. Capital gains tax is due if you sell it, use it to purchase goods or services, or exchange it for another currency.

Interesting_Loss_907

Yes, it’s about right as a fee estimate for selling on an exchange. But the more important question: *why would OP’s FIL have anything to do with the cost of selling?* He needs only *transfer* the BTC to OP’s husband. That’s it. Won’t cost more than $1 in txn fee to transfer.

Interesting_Loss_907

OP: why did your husband give money to his father to “buy Bitcoin on his behalf”? Especially considering his father is “shady”…? And why didn’t he ask his father to transfer the 5 BTC to his own wallet 10 years ago? Why let the father hold it all these years if he’s “shady”? This doesn’t add up.

Kornbread2000

No. 1 BTC is as arbitrary as having a kilo of gold - it doesn't mean anything. I'll ask you this - will you stop buying you get to 1 BTC? Is 1.001 BTC worse than having 1.000 BTC? It is a number that only matters in your head.

MaintenanceSafe5444

Have him send the BTC to your own wallet on coinbase. That will be very cheap. Then you can sell them and pay the taxes yourself. Not your keys, not your Bitcoin. Get custody of all of it as soon as possible. The taxes aren't his burden if he doesn't sell them and only bought them on your husband's behalf.

Interesting_Loss_907

OP you are confusing 2 very different things. Selling is not the same as sending. If your husband has five BTC that his dad bought and has been holding for the past 10 years, his dad can easily transfer those BTC to your husband. Regardless of the amount of BTC he is sending it should cost less than $1 to transfer it to your husband‘s wallet. *Selling* is a different matter. There will be fees, but it should have nothing whatsoever to do with your husband’s father. He should transfer the BTC that belongs to your husband to him, and then your husband can decide if he wants to sell. If he does want to sell some of it, yes there will be a fee from the exchange (typically around 1% or so), and then your husband would of course owe capital gains tax on the profit.

MariachiArchery

I fully expected that slide to head down to the 90k and sub 3k range. I was very surprised to see ETH bounce off that support at 3.2k, three times. BTC did the same thing just under 100k. Hit it three times than bounced right back. Both assets shot down, then bounced. Usually when this happens, we get one good bounce and then its all down hill. To see us bounce three times while only a few candles outside of 'extreme fear' surprised me. Another thing that has me intrigued, is the fact we have had this big pull back, without any real bad news hitting the crypto world. All the news around crypto has been relatively positive. The only bad news we are getting is about traders getting rekt on leverage. In the past, big pull backs leading to extreme fear has always coincided with some sort of event, like FTX for example, or Terra/Luna. I think, that sans some major event in the crypto space, there is a good case to be made for the bulls. However, the market's sentiment is fragile right now. If something bad happens, that will rocket us into extreme fear, and it will get ugly, fast. I guess we'll see! Fundamentals haven't changed, so I'm just gonna sit here and watch it unfold.

Unable_Mess_2581

Public means that 6 billion more humans who do not care about BTC. Or maybe 99% of humans. Sure as hell in my school alumni/circle there are only two BTC investor, me and the other guy, out of 150 people. And they are not illiterate, nor uneducated. Some even are BTC haters.

Dramatic-Battle-9737

Arguably BTC hodlers *do* know something most people don’t know. Well we like to think we do at least!

VariatCA

Yeah, unless a particular coin is in the midst of its own rally, everything usually drops harder than BTC on days of uncertainty. It's a built-in perk of BTC having 5-6x the market cap / liquidity strength compared to its closest "competitor." Though if ETH's use case can expand to more real-world applications like securing/backing real-world asset tokenization, it has great potential to expand in both price and stability. That kind of adoption, along with treasury companies like Bitmines building vast reserves, is steadily in progress. Short-term market/economic uncertainties are just holding back growth for now, though.

Pantzzzzless

Let them, can't really stop it. The part that matters is that they can't mint more BTC.

Dark_Raiden_

Great response and thats true over longer time periods. But the immediate response to red days is not like BTC, ETH dumps quite hard. If ETH was ever able to achieve the reduced downside volatility on a level closer to BTC than to all other alts, itd attract a lot more retail interest in the asset.

VariatCA

It's easy to lose perspective when seeing lots of alts making +10%, +20% or higher gains today. Though many of the alts making the biggest gains (i.e. recoveries) are also down much, *much* more from their highs than BTC, Eth, Sol, et cetera. With much lower marketcaps, it also takes much less capital to make large percentage gains. While BTC is still around -20% from peak ATH and ETH -30%, some of these coins like Near were down -50% *just since October 10th*, and was down more than -80% from its December highs.

DerpyTrader

This guy is a joke. How some of these people ever become wealthy is beyond me. He will hate on BTC forever, and it will be $250,000 and still "It is time to sell your BTC and buy GOLD".

xarips

hes the reason BTC even went above 100k, you lefties are fucking clueless

VariatCA

All in all, a decent day of progress towards recovery while relief looms over the economy's worries. Hopefully soon we get some resolution to this extended shutdown and a Court ruling on tariffs to wash away some of this uncertainty. It was a rough start to the morning with Euros trying to drive BTC below 100k again, but it's a resilient barrier that held strong through another -1% morning for stocks. BTC rebounded +4% from the morning low, alongside ETH's +8% and many other alts nailing double-digit recoveries. To be up +3-4% compared to yesterday, while stocks basically just finished flat (slightly higher for S&P, slightly lower for Tech) is a promising signal that Crypto was vastly oversold. Further recovery is in the hands of stocks continuing to show strength through next week, but things may positively reverse-course in a heartbeat if it happens.

gowithflow192

BTC needs to be finished off already. It keeps bobbing up past 100 again and again.

Character-Dot-4078

A 2011 Casascius Series 1 Bitcoin with the "CASACIUS" spelling error is a highly valuable and sought-after collectible. In November 2023, one of these coins sold for $78,000, 70% above its 1 BTC face value at the time. Here is more information about the coin and its value: Origin: The coin was part of the original Casascius series created by Mike Caldwell in 2011. The Error: Some of the 2011 Series 1 coins were produced with a "CASACIUS" spelling error in the hologram, instead of the correct "CASASCIUS". Rarity: Only around 3,500 of the 2011 Series 1 coins were made, which increases their collector value. This value is independent of the value of the bitcoin it contains and is primarily driven by its rarity and collectible status. Auction history: The record-breaking $78,000 sale in November 2023 was for an unredeemed (loaded) coin, meaning its bitcoin was still available. Other "double error" versions have also seen significant interest at auction. Collectible factors: As with other physical cryptocurrency coins, its value depends on its condition (often graded by services like PCGS), whether the bitcoin has been redeemed, and the rarity of the particular series and error. For the most accurate current valuation, the coin should be professionally appraised and potentially offered at a specialized auction.

namieorange

Other cycles you reference BTC always held borrom around the previous cycle ATH, which in this case is 68k Also never before it reached ATH before halving, which did this this time. Also also increased value in QE, which is coming next year. If you want to bring some historical data, you might as well bring them all

Ok-Exam13

Have you ever thought of (Micro) Strategy being the first and only secure BTC deposit bank? They buy bitcoin, and ensure noone gets access to that asset. Let's go one or two steps further: You want to exchange BTC to USD (or something non-FIAT)? They'll buy your BTC and get you liquid. Or they'll lend you money, depending on how many BTC you deposit in their systems. Just an idea...

Jimbeam5150

Some people need that whole-number— it’s psychologically satisfying to see your net worth equal one full coin. That’s a real flex. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with dollar-cost averaging (DCA) or buying dips. If you have strong conviction and can handle watching your numbers swing for 10 years, go for it. It’s a personal choice, and if you have enough money to cover your bills and don’t need the funds, joining the “whole coiner” club can be fun. But if btc drops to 25k you can’t freak out. Anything goes and volatility is part of the game. I’d keep this milestone to yourself — you don’t want to be a target when BTC hits $10 million. Regardless, you still have more than most people, and you won’t see life-altering changes beyond this point. Either way, millionaire status is inevitable over time. You’ve done well! Good luck. #diamondhands

Vegaslover28

Sell BTC buy ETH

CaptainK718

In 2017 I read a post from a guy who took out a $100,000 second mortgage to buy 5 BTC. I thought he was an idiot at the time.

agoracomm

There is no 'huge fee'. The network fees are quite reasonable these days. It sounds like something else might be going on i.e. the BTC simply doesn't exist and the husband's father is giving you the runaround.

East-Cricket6421

I used to mitigate things by putting the same amount into every project that interested me but I was only into that in the early days when projects had fair launches and people like you and I could get the lowest pricing available. Versus now where they spend a few months selling to insiders at a huge discount and then rely on retail to pump their bags on day one. Solana was an example of a project that did that but still seems to have succeeded for the most part. But for every Solana there's like 1000 projects where the early investors dump so hard the project never recovers. I made out like a bandit in the early days but have reverted to BTC maximalism because of how unfair new projects structure themselves.

kumardi

It’s not, but the optics that go along with it absolutely impact market and investor sentiment - private and professional investors see posts like this and think “wow, I should buy BTC too”.

Head-End-5909

>I am considering taking a loan of 25k to buy the remaining 0.2 BTC NO! It’s very possible the coming months will see more pullback, perhaps severe - think $90K, $80K, lower. >I only started learning about BTC in the middle of this year and this 20% decline from ATH is the biggest decline I have experienced. Because you’ve only been in for a second. Bitcoin never really broke thru $120+K, just flirted with it. What’s your rush? Just DCA.

Easy_Onion_1409

Not true, if he sends it to let’s say your coinbase account you can then sell it. You will be charged a fee by coinbase, and they can send the cash to your bank account. Now, you will need to know how much you paid for the original BTC as that will be used to calculate your capital gains. Which should be offset by your capital losses. Your tax person should go over this with you.

Easy_Onion_1409

I’ve moved amounts larger than you are talking about and I’ve never paid over $2.00, usually it’s less than a dollar to send BTC from one wallet to another. Good luck.

Easy_Onion_1409

Yes, they should offset. I’m doing this this year as I was forced to sell some BTC to pay taxes. Capital gains and losses do offset.

CipherScarlatti

Watching people freak out about the market is so tiring. Have people forgot that BTC was at 83k back in April? People need to stop chasing drama.

ifoldkings

How? BTC is not even close to ATH and neither is ETH

Nickanator8

Right now is not when I would be taking out a loan to buy BTC. While I do think there is still room for BTC to run, I also feel that a correction is coming in 2026. I'd probably consider leverage at that point, not before. General rule of thumb, only take out a loan to buy an investment if you know something most people dont.

crazy_lolipopp

BTC already below 103k. Laughably weak.

CryptoConfluo

Anyone else worried that if this bull cycle is really done, BTC topped way too early? 126K should’ve been just mid-pump territory, not the peak.

Ok_Reputation9512

Litecoin flashed back. Ready to run to new ATH after making a head and shoulders on the LTC/BTC chart. Major uptrend imminent.

threedeeman

I like Peter, but he is the last person I would listen too on BTC. At this point, even he does not believe his BTC takes, and is likely trolling.

xSpAcEX7

It's not a bear market. BTC is above 100k.

tekn0lust

As others have said, you need to verify that FIL actually bought and has the BTC in legitimate coinbase account. There are many many copycat websites that look like legitimate exchanges but aren't, they are all fake. Look up pig butchering scam... A telltale sign is the site requires upfront fee payment to get balances transferred. If this is what's happened then all the money is gone.

tekn0lust

nope. I don't know all the facts here so I may make some assumptions that aren't right, but from what you've written. Your FIL is the owner of the BTC in the eyes of the exchange and of the US IRS and carries the capital gains burden until he sells or transfers. Essentially your husband gave him the money to purchase, he made the purchase in his own name. Your inlaws estate and your estate are completely separate. Your stock capital losses have no bearing on this BTC transaction. You are getting into the realm of needing real tax professional help not only to unwind this, but resolve it correctly. A tax professional can help figure out how to handle and how long it will take legally. Don't rush, you can get really in a bad way with the IRS especially if your FIL just sells it all booking the capital gain or transfers it to you breaking gift limit rules.

brad1651

Your husband can setup a CB account, and his father can transfer it to him without fees inside CB. Your husband can then sell if he chooses, and if he signs up for CB One, pay no fees to sell ($30/mo for the membership I think, cancel anytime). However, from the sounds of things, those BTC aren't there. Your father in law is acting shady in this case. He should be able to instantly prove a balance within CB. If he sent coins to an address outside of CB he controls keys to, that's also very easy to prove. Good luck, and sorry for your loss in this case.

Future-Bet4783

BTC dominance just checked mondays low

karbonator

I generally transfer off the exchange when there is 0.01 BTC. If you already have that much you might already want to research cold wallets. I recently got a Blockstream Jade Plus, and found it very easy to set up, though you'll want to compare and see what's best for your needs. 0.01 might be enough you don't want to carry it on your phone. But as far as phone wallets, I like [Bitcoin Wallet Android](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.schildbach.wallet/) for on-chain and I like [Phoenix Wallet](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.acinq.phoenix.mainnet) for in-store lightning payments.

Thick-Ad5921

I second this. I have a good friend who is Chinese and has lived in Canada for 8 years. She is returning to China December to March. We have little visits about BTC. She says everything works with VPN but she will monitor her stack and news much less frequently.

HoldYourFire87

I lose money on BTC every time, too. I invest, it crashes, and a month later I'm out 5-10% minimum, if not more. At that point I just sell and put what I've got left back into savings. I've learned that prices will never recover so long as I'm in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Impossible-Weight852

It also holds gold. In fact, it holds more gold than BTC. Maybe gold is the better bet.

zachmoe

....Technically True, if the price goes down, you will be able to buy more BTC per $.

mikeinho0

I’d like to add: it’s BEEN a bull market for BTC…. We made new highs when skeptics were the majority… the script is flipping to the majority being convinced we do well. So odds of upside expansion in some sense are getting smaller. Long term bets are dangerous for BTC, unless you buy AFTER 10+ MONTHS OF DISASTROUS PRICE ACTION (minimum 50/60% value loss nowadays, used to be more) Good luck with the bets

VariatCA

People saying that only quantify it as "All my friends aren't talking about the same Dog Meme Coin like they were back in 2020-2021, retail is nowhere to be found this time." Hell, there are plenty of people who *hate* crypto but still speculate on it by buying/trading stuff like BTC/ETH. Crypto gets a ton of exposure, but small investors are spread thin between the thousands of various alts and random memecoins.

Nzain1

BTC can go to 20k before that happens to MSTR. He’s selling bonds that are easy to pay off and better than treasury bonds. Treasury bonds are terrible so he capitalized on that. People are told to buy bonds for guaranteed returns by traditional investing. The man’s a genius, I just wish the stock didn’t perform so badly. Once he reaches a trillion he will start putting the capital to work and then it will launch the share price.

TapThatYak

Trust is important. One thing I will say is, proof is in the pudding. I managed to convince one family member to buy Bitcoin after showing them percentage gain across several portfolios. A lot of people that are not educated on the Euro-dollar or FIAT system will not understand money erosion over time. I've told friends and family about gold, BTC, ETFs etc. They never listened to me and it hurt because millions of people are a victims of inflation and the cash scam. I realized it's not my burden to carry. When you move on you will thank yourself and be wiser. If they come back to you for wisdom, it will be your choice whether or not you want to be involved again. But there's one thing you must always do, disclose the risk involved with these investments and ask them if they can stomach them.

Nzain1

It was a sad year for BTC let’s see if it bounces off 100 as long as it did last year.

Nzain1

Bitcoin holders say sell gold buy BTC, gold holders say sell BTC buy gold.

OptionalMangoes

In any event the fee will be taken out of the balance so for 5 BTC then post transaction he has >4.9999btc

KittensFirstAKM

That's way over my pay grade. Once you have confirmed he has the BTC to sell I think the next step would be consulting a tax specialist.

JustPhackOff39104

Yeah but it is objectively better to use 100x leverage on BTC for example then to buy frickin 67 coin. Probably much more fun too. And you know you won't get rugpulled.

What? How is BTC failing when it’s testing $100k? Guy is such insufferable. Acting like it’s impossible to hold both and see the benefits in each

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas clarified that Bitcoin ETFs are not to blame for the recent BTC sell-off, which saw a 20% price drop in October. Instead, the sell-off was driven by Bitcoin whales and long-term holders who sold 405,000 BTC, valued at over $41.3 billion. ETFs experienced less than $1 billion in outflows during the crash, with inflows resuming shortly after. Analysts suggest ETFs are stabilizing Bitcoin's price volatility, signaling market maturation and growing confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

zachnicodemous

Chart or no chart, there is a reason I am throwing every last cent I have right now into acquiring every last Satoshi that I can. 25% gains at minimum guaranteed because every time BTC hits a new ATH and then drops, it eventually demolishes that previous ATH.

Duardo98

One day everyone will have BTC, but each will pay the price they deserve.

VariatCA

RSI is basically just a measure of the average performance of an asset, versus its short-term performance on a given time frame. Lots of alts have been getting their butts kicked over the last 5-30 days, so a recovery across the board for alts of this magnitude will absolutely appear as a high RSI. On the 4H, 24H and 7D frames, the higher Mcap coins like BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP are all still basically neutral RSI. It's the smaller alts that were relatively oversold and are playing catch-up today.

General_Feeling8839

I mean why invest in stock, when you can just put everything you earn into an appreciating asset. The funny thing is that BTC doesn’t move - just fiat

General_Feeling8839

I’m just going to to say it- need it to go down a bit longer so I can have my business accounts approved. Then will move 100% in to BTC

In that case, wait for BTC to hit about 150,165k then ride it up to 175 then back to 130, then sell then buy back at 165

steve_b

The top doesn't have to be behind us, just the astronomical jumps. If you look at BTC price history over the same period, from Nov '24 to Dec '24, it went from $75K to $100K, a 30% jump, and you see that reflected on the chart. Since then, other than the Trump-caused dip in April that hit everything, it has wavered between $100K and $120K. There's nothing there that is going to get anyone interested, particularly when the rest of the market has seen a steady rise of 20% (minus the Trump dip). What's to get excited about? There is no other external news (tech advances, adoption by major players, etc.), so there you go. Everyone wants BTC to become "real money". What do you think real money looks like? Not something that jumps 5x then crashes back 50% every 4 years.

justcurious3287

I invest in SHIB, PEPE, and BONK, and I'm certainly not complaining about this! I also buy BTC for the stability.

Larryrroscoe

Quite simple actually: Whale worth 500 Billion takes a mere 500 Million and buys btc at 100,000. This is 5000 btc. Price jumps. Liquidates 5000 btc Price goes down. Have nothing against btc or people’s speculations. But PLEASE protect your future your family: Young-Long term, long term, long term. Make a pie chart. 50% stock mutual funds, 20% bond mutual funds,10% crypto BTC only, 10% precious metals, use a fund rather than holding hard metal, and 10% cash. DCA works. You can’t lose. Adjust as you get older. Age 7O+ for instance conservative dividend paying funds, cash. You are 30 today. You will be rich in 20 years. NEVER fails.

THIS is what many do not yet know. You may hold on to your BTC and simply borrow against it! Have 5 Bitcoin? Borrow up to the value of 2.5 Bitcoin. Have 10 bitcoin? Borrow $500k currently sometimes more sometimes less. Just get it in your OWN wallet!
