BTC

No annual fee, it buys the BTC automatically for you at the time of each transaction

Odd-Fun-1482

Retail, like you and me, aren't the one's selling. As far as I can tell, it's institutions that are selling. "The Game" players, that drove BTC's price as high as it is right now. Without them, BTC would still be 10-20k. That's why the price will ALWAYS be in flux when above that threshold.

lukesmit695

It’s not about how much the BTC is “worth” when measured in a pretend currency, it’s about how many sats you accumulate👍🏻

sounoriginal13

Since when did BTC give a shit about geo politics

Hitem20

We took a slightly different approach... Don't buy any BTC, YET. Read about dividend ETFs. (I prefer energy & BTC related products). Buy those every week. Take weekly, monthly, quarterly earnings from those and buy BTC. Every time you hit $1k of USD value in your BTC balance, send it to cold storage. We took 100% of our savings (all depends on how comfortable you are) and purchased STRC (a stock pegged at $100), it pays 9-11% interest. Take the monthly earnings from that and buy BTC.

HashCrafter45

early 30s with high risk tolerance, i'd personally lean heavier crypto than most financial advisors would tell you. something like 60% stocks, 40% BTC is not crazy at your age. the upside asymmetry on BTC over a 10-15 year horizon is hard to ignore. just don't touch it when it dumps 40%. that's where most people lose.

Alexchii

Most people diversify as it’s considered the only free lunch in investing. A diversified portfolio of stocks has a centuries long track record of doing well and that’s not likely to change. A 100% BTC portfolio could do anything. Most people will choose a few million by the time they retire over unknown odds of $0 - $10 000 000.

Tricky-Dish-670

100% BTC.

hitmarker

I have been trading all my life. Crypto is the most rigged system ever. The amount of times I "hit margin" and lost my entire position and the price didn't even come close to closing me.. I remember one night I had a long position on BTC, I wake up, check the price, I am happy. Check bitmex, position liquidated [hit stop loss]. Check the price on bitmex, nowhere even close. I message support. "It was slippage, we cannot do anything". Slippage with 1000 usd difference, sure.

Boozenooze2

correct, BTC is just a high-beta proxy of the Nasdaq completely hijacked by smartmoney. The decorrelation vs gold is very high, meaning it's not at all a safe haven asset anymore.

Elendron

To work out your capital gain, just deduct (-) your cost basis of the asset from the price that you sold at, then times (x) that by the quantity that you sold. Then apply your country's capital gains tax to that. To find the fiat value of whatever you converted to BTC, you could get the one min chart up on Tradingview, find the date and time that you convertred and get an accurate enough value. You'll need to know the value of BTC during the conversion too. Ez pz :)

Glittering_Fact5556

It really comes down to allocation and risk tolerance, not age alone. Many people cap BTC at a percentage of their portfolio and adjust over time rather than going all in. Just make sure you keep an emergency fund so you’re not forced to sell during volatility.

GreenStretch

I'm having a big struggle with my crypto taxes. I haven't chased down the basis for my few biggest sales into fiat and haven't gotten the fiat values of some of my conversions into BTC. At the moment with partial information, I owe 10-15% of what I sold into fiat.

Low_Administration22

If 401k opens up to BTC by our government then YES

hitokiri1859

I think the hardest thing about alt coins is 1. not user friendly if you send shit to the wrong wallet poof its gone.  2. Theres so many out there and its wild west if you pick a scam say goodbye to your money. 3. Most people shy away from anything that isn't easy or they need to read a whitepaper for. With that being said will there be an alt season maybe? But not in our current economic conditions. Reason is we aren't at a peek point of the market crypto isn't fully accepted by everyone and theres more fear and reduced spending. We have silver and gold ramping more then btc even because theres fear of war and fear of recession. When we pivot to after recession or after risks and dollar gets stronger and people rotate out of silver and gold and go more BTC than you'll see a push towards alts again.

thomacik

Nice move! It's always a wild ride with BTC, but that's what makes it exciting, right? Just remember to enjoy the journey, whatever happens! 🚀

thomacik

good luck on your BTC adventure!

Bbronson123

My friend got gifted 1/2 a BTC when it was worth < $100 in middle school. He also sold at the $20k peak and bought his first car.

OpticallyMosache

Best time in almost two years. Stacking will become critical. You can't go wrong loading up here. In the bull run, BTC makes most of the gains in like less than 14 specific days.

RoughReality277

Also, if there is a "run" on bitcoin withdrawals/sells.. they WILL lock you out of "your" coins. They will put a stop, and you can't do anything about it... but if it was in a private wallet, you can do anything you want with it. If the government wantes to confiscate all BTC, they can't if it's in cold storage. If you owe back taxes or someone sues you, they can take your BTC if it is on an exchange.

PaleontologistNo6593

Actually. All things being equal. They pay for that wastefulness. They know who and what they are paying for. Miners charge a lot of people that don’t know otherwise for the blocks they unlock. I’d be willing to bet. Most people that start on BTC. If you gave them the whole run down. You know magic money and all that. Throw in they were subsidizing Iran and Russia. Sprinkle in hydroelectric dams are used to mine bitcoin while other people can’t pay their way into a good electrical grid and I bet a lot less people would start.

DSMRob

I’m not even that much into BTC but if it dropped 60% i would buy a couple coins.

Odd_Lengthiness_2175

I stopped my DCA for a bit to shift over to gold, but I started stacking bitcoin again about a month ago. Seeing "Bitcoin to zero?" in my news feed is one of the most reliable bottom indicators. I sold about a quarter of my stack last year to pay off my house but other than that just DCA + HODL club here, since 2016. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. BTC isn't as volatile as it used to be but it's still way more than most people can handle.

Blooberino

I don't know about availability and rules for Australia, but you can use a coinbase card anywhere Visa is accepted for USDC. Costs nothing to top up and use, and you can get 0.5% of your purchases back in USDC, BTC. and a few others. If you need to use USDT or coinbase card isnt available then ignore this.

CitadelChad

I think you’re wrong about that. Eventually another block-size war will start. And I don’t want too much centralization of BTC in the traditional system because then they’ll win that war…

Rogue_Tra

Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, is estimated to hold approximately 1.1 million BTC, amassed through early mining in 2009–2010. These coins are distributed across thousands of addresses and have remained unmoved, making Satoshi one of the world's wealthiest individuals, with holdings valued at over $130 billion as of early 2026.  **Key Details About Satoshi's Holdings:** * **Total Amount:** Roughly 1.1 million BTC, representing over 5% of the total 21 million supply that will ever exist. * **Location: Spread across an estimated 20,000+ addresses, none of which have been used to spend or transfer funds.** * **Origin:** Mined during the infancy of the network, meaning they were generated rather than bought. * **Status:** As of February 2026, these wallets have remained dormant, with the last communication from Satoshi occurring in 2010.  Wikipedia +4 While some large institutions, such as US spot ETFs, have recently surpassed 1.1 million BTC in combined holdings, Satoshi remains the largest single, known, non-institutional owner of Bitcoin

AcanthaceaeOk809

I had no issues for many years with CashApp. I buy from multiple exchanges. All don't always work when you need them to work. I actually had direct deposit set with 100% allocation to BTC. It was free and sending to your wallet was free. I am and was satisfied. Customer service has always been helpful and I was on the priority list.

carsonthecarsinogen

Should someone not have the right to AC if they can afford it? I can make the argument that my hypothetical *is* wasteful but not that it’s not their right to waste said energy. I could also make the argument that mining BTC is far from wasteful but I’m willing to bet nothing I say would sway your opinions, and I won’t waste our time. One cools air that’s not being used, the other secures and creates the best form of money ever created. Cheers

AInception

You can't exactly steal BTC with a 51% attack. At best you could double spend a transaction once or twice. An attacker can censor the network indefinitely, though. Yes, sending the value to $0. Western governments and central banks despise Bitcoin, and have practically unlimited money at their disposal. Many other nations hate the West and everything markets stand for. If someone could erase a $1 trillion 'decentralized bank' from existence using $1 million I think many would jump on the idea, even just for teh lulz. Crypto has made a lot of enemies along the way..

goawayjoebro

Volatility is irrelevant if I plan to hold for 6+ years, and assuming I'm staying clear from liquidation, which I was able to avoid during this current dump just fine. BTC can be down for 2 years straight and it won't affect me. Funny also that you mention the S&P because my prediction of 16.7% CAGR is very similar to the S&P's growth over the past 12 years, except my timespan for bitcoin is half that.

OceanPassion66

I use to be HEAVILY invested in BTC for Freedom. But it changed….it’s more like thank the govt for pumping it 467 times. What happens when they change the narrative? An anti govt and freedom coin that is now run by the govt of which you depend on the govt or Sailor to pump or crash your bags. It will only go up or down if they pump or crash it. That’s Freedom?

No_Toe710

~3-4 BTC per block including transaction fees. Or 0.1% to 0.4% of total value settled. Thats 1/10th the cost of Visa or MC.

Literally everyone who wants to go online has to use TCP/IP. Almost no one needs to use BTC. Let's be real, most people see BTC as highly speculative asset and only reason they buy it is "number go up".

Upbeat-Protection-67

No you need to buy and hold until you’re dead. Sell everything and accumulate more BTC. Eventually your body will learn photosynthesis

No man. Buy high, sell low; that’s the way with BTC 😛

AriesThef0x

Step one: take out as much debt as possible, as often as possible. Step 2: buy as much BTC as possible Step 3: Ignore the collection calls, buy BTC instead Step 4: lose BTC in boating accident Step 5: go to jail for fraud / concealment of funds (forced hold and free room and board) Step 6: Profit

RobinhoodtraderBTC

Well until the next big thing replaces BTC, it will be the thing

BlacksmithPlane3988

This is a very dangerous (and unfortunately wrong) train of thought. Say your 16.7 % CAGR pans out and say you get a 12% APR ‘no-brainer’ loan. You’re comparing CAGR to APR, but that ignores volatility and risk-adjusted return. BTC might return 16–17% annually in your model, but with approx. 70% annual volatility. As a counter example let’s use the S&P 500. The S&P does 8–10% with approx. 15–20% volatility. Sharpe ratio (return per unit of risk) roughly: • S&P: 9% / 18% = 0.5 • BTC (unlevered): 16.7% / 70% = 0.24 • BTC levered with 12% loan (4.7% excess return): 4.7% / 70% = 0.07 So you’re taking 4–5x the volatility for maybe ~4% expected excess return. And once you account for the loan, your risk-adjusted return collapses. A 0.07 Sharpe is basically random noise. You’re basically risking the very real chance of financial wreckage for a very thin mathematical upside. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. (I can’t believe I got to actually use my MBA, yaay)

Fire sale 🔥 BTC 50% OFF 🔊 And market still dumps 😆

WolflingNL

Damn, he looks old. Bear market did not leave uncle Saylor unscathed. Banks turning to BTC is pretty sick tho

mldefense12

I was looking for the same thing. BTC only, fully cold, no battery, and no stress about the company disappearing in the future. Got Tangem and never looked back, 'cause it's just simple & secure and the key is generated on the card and never leaves it.

ThePardoned

If you're only holding BTC long-term and want something with no battery and fully cold, Tangem actually fits your requirements pretty well. It’s NFC-based, so no cables, no charging, no screen to fail. The private key is generated on the card and never leaves it. Also, about the one address concern, that’s more about how you use it. You can generate multiple addresses for privacy (like any standard wallet). It’s not limited to just one static address.

Shoddy-Membership-51

Nothing. I own a couple of BTC

Sharlach

Gavin is a real one, and I think what he said there is completely plausible. Wrapped BTC exists today too, and is the only way to plug BTC into the wider de-fi ecosystem, so it may even be inevitable. These days there's more of a focus on interoperability as well, so in the future we may just have one giant mega blockchain, imo.

whisperedstate

You might be interested in the opinion of a famous Bitcoin dev on Bitcoins future: https://riski.wiki/wiki/User:Gavinandresen/Blog/2021-09-21_A_Possible_BTC_Future So at least some people think BTC can live on without Bitcoin the network and still command a large premium. I'm not so sure about that, but it's certainly a possibility.

Full-Sound-6269

Yea, that's bs, more people will sell BTC and go into cash then.

Gremlin555

Na no really. I actually don't hold any. I'm just saying if it dipped I'd buy. I don't believe in throwing everything into BTC.

1 BTC for $1k and all you need to do is put your life in danger for receiving some FREEDOM 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Top-Care-8946

I am afraid of the fiat and traditional finance's future. I think that would regret not buying BTC in future because if inflation will go uncontrollable high then there's nothing to save. At least I have chance to buy gold with crypto in future but with cash, never. That's why I decided to start collect BTC (main idea is not to earn profit and become rich but to be ready and survive in the near future).

Rambo7dot62m

Download the Arkham Crypto Exchange app to see the top BTC holdings and their wallet activities. It’s so awesome and really puts things into perspective.

Romanizer

That's true. Mining supply is already miniscule in comparison to the trading volume and demand. The exchange is surely not rising because of lower supply, that's only where miners have to adjust. For most people today, the only way to acquire Bitcoin is to buy. I don't really see a path where adoptions stalls and Bitcoin falls out of favor of regulators and asset managers and still survives. Seeing how all alternatives and attacks have failed it will be hard to convince anyone that Bitcoin will be <$1m/BTC in 10 years.

LibertyWithLiquidity

The value of BTC will rise just fine without the sheeple, their buying power is insigificant. So yeah, I'm okay with that.

olias_bitcoin

Few people are more bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects than me, but there is no necessity that the USD/BTC exchange rate has to rise because of halvings. Nobody is obligated to buy Bitcoin. Adoption could stall out, it could fall out of favor with Wall St., the regulatory environment could turn negative, etc. Nobody is going to care what price miners need to stay profitable at a global hashrate of 1 Zh/s as the block reward is cut in half again and again. If Bitcoin is trading at $10k in 5 years, most of that global hash will disappear, and the difficulty will adjust to whatever level is able to sustain profitable mining. Nobody is going to automatically think “well, I’d better pay $200k because that’s what miners need now”. And new issuance is already very little of the supply coming onto exchanges, it’s mostly old coins changing hands.

Ok_Lunch1400

Well, if that person buys at 1 dollar, and no one wants any of his BTC, then that's a total loss on his buy, which is effectively zero.

Royal_Phase9500

When I also give advice that costs 0.5 BTC, look at history because it repeats itself.

OpticallyMosache

With AI, a code based monetary network could become increasingly valauble. If AI could confirm its own settlements on the BTC blockchain, it wouldn't need a third party hosting anything. If we expect AI to better rely on a big banks settlements, it would hinder its acceleration. Holding native BTC might be the source of banked funds for AI.

OpticallyMosache

The hard part to overcome is that talking heads that only understand BTC like a stock price are bearish and fear it will underperform other markets. But the people that understand what BTC actually is have never stopped being massively bullish. If you are only in BTC for NGU technology, it's probably scary to watch it compared to other investments. But if you're into BTC for a sovereign, bearer (no counter party), permisionless and fixed supply technology network then you never stop being bullish. All the loudest voices are only tracking its price.

HuntlyBypassSurgeon

Yes you have 0.00669586 BTC and 43 transactions in and out going back to Dec 1 last year

whisperedstate

The Bitcoin price cannot increase exponentially, but the mining rewards DO decrease exponentially. At some point, mining revenue from block rewards will decrease every 4 years and there's no BTC price that could compensate for that, so the result is that network security inveitably decreases, until you get what happened with Monero and the network just starts to fall apart. This is the trajectory Bitcoin is on right now, if nothing changes )i.e. the 21m cap is abolished)..

whisperedstate

You're missing the entire point of the thread. It's not a risk today, the hashrate is very high. But it's only very high because miners still get a block reward worth mining for. At some point in the 2040s, 2050s, 2060s, the price of BTC will never be high enough to make the fractions of BTC mined for block, worth it.

Ok_Barber4987

Since it’s dropped 50% from its high I say it’s going down another 50% soon enough. We’ll be looking at 33k BTC in 6 months. 

Relative_Article556

(When it’s 1 milly per BTC) I’ll walk into work say f*** you guys. Instantly retire. I’ll travel the world for a year or two and have a family

totoin74

Well certain Rolex watches are considered as collectables so they too appreciate quite a lot over time. I suggest buying one instead of the second BTC

wholelotta2564

This is a genuinely cool experiment. The fact that gpt-5-nano is outperforming the more expensive models on raw data alone is interesting, but I'd take the 48-hour results with a grain of salt. Trading on pure pattern recognition without any macro context or risk management logic can work for a while until it hits a volatility spike it can't handle. The real test will be during a proper correction or black swan event. That said, if you're keeping this running and want to scale into testing on actual perpetual futures markets with more asset classes, Ventuals is worth a look. They run 24/7 on Hyperliquid and have a bunch of interesting markets beyond just the major crypto pairs, including some thematic baskets and even pre-IPO exposure. Could be a fun way to stress test these agents in a more complex environment once you've exhausted the BTC/SOL/FARTCOIN angle.

namieorange

Phantom wallet. I think you can buy ETH and BTC (other coins too) with a debit or credit card. And best of all you dont have to go through an exchange, have it in hot wallet or move it into a cold wallet once you get one and have enough in crypto to justify the expense

DueVillage9198

When BTC reach $10, I will buy

EarningsPal

4% cash back paid as BTC like the Gemini card.

Lavayo

10k$ means ONLY institutions and saylor will remain, they will never leave. Retail handed over their SATs over the last 12 months. It is what it is. BTC is for anybody. There will never be a check if you are a institution or sell an ETF after you buy. All we can do is stack and hodl.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

Bitcoin zealots. Do not thread on their BTC, which Btw I also hold in equal amounts along with ETH, SOL and XRP.

PuzzleheadedBell4057

There is no more supply cap. BTC has been securitized. It doesn't make a difference if there can be only 21 million mined when they can now be created out of thin air through the use of derivatives.

vulnid

That isn't a smart way to live. If you have 0 monthly payments, do you have a lot of savings? and if so, why put a loan instead of saving money and then putting some of that to BTC. "I can just start over", even if you are young enough you shouldn't have that mentality, that will come with you as you age if so you'll be fucked long term. BTC isnt the magic potion to getting you rich af unless you invested way long ago

No_Blood125

Yes — ETH for DeFi & Web3 dominance, SOL for speed & cultural traction, AVAX/DOT for cross-chain growth. BTC leads sentiment, but real alpha comes from high-utility ecosystems. Smart money rotates before retail even notices. Which one do you think will lead next?

Comprehensive-War-34

Where is BTC headed this year?

KCConnor

I see an inverse story to this. The reward for lumpsum purchases on credit invested into BTC is diminishing. It was considerably more profitable 5 years ago, but the last year of data has rapidly eroded that reward.

jup1t3rr

Sorry all alts are alreadyt probably down they usually do when BTC about to pump XD

jup1t3rr

BTC

PJacouF

Read all before replying. There is no rule for buying or selling. You don't have to sell all you have. Best strategy is to combine both HODLing and cycles. What I'm saying is, there is no better strategy for BTC other than cycles. Again, go open the chart and just count the candles.

Odd_Bar9513

Just out of curiosity - let’s pretend you would manage to break your way to my email - how would you still get hold of my mnemonic and/or passphrase? Neither of them have nothing to do with my email. Let’s say you would also rob a bank and all of their safety deposit boxes and find my mnemonic there. Assuming it was there. You still wouldn’t get hold of my BTC without the passphrase which is only stored within my head.

PJacouF

Are you pulling those numbers out of your ass? If you strictly follow the cycle, you would only DCA during the exact month counts (it has always topped on the 35th month and bottomed at the 12th month). You don't DCA for a year, you just DCA during those months. If you follow that alone, you would exit between 110-126K. And another point, no one told you to sell your bags completely, but if you sell even for a 1% difference, it's profit. It's not hard to buy low and sell high. It's even easier to optimise it. If you protect yourself against any drawdown, it's a plus already. There's no asset other than BTC that follows a pattern this closely. Don't believe me? Go count the candles.

jup1t3rr

If you have BTC and it's going down, and want it to go up im offering that. If you have money and want to be rich im offering the best signal of your life.

DonkeyAsleep7884

33k BTC is a grain of sand ona beach The total supply is 21M

DonkeyAsleep7884

Didn't they also say BTC is going to 300k in 2025?

nafnaf0

Yep, this strategy would have been great from 2016 to 2026, and even better before then. Michael Saylor / MSTR still offers convertible near zero coupon corporate bonds with the main purpose to buy more BTC. They have products like STRC that they have to dilute when the price gets too high and they use that money more BTC.
