That's a very interesting viewpoint. Imho it could be argued that the invention of Bitcoin can be thought of making a substantial change to that debate: a Bitcoin standard goes beyond the traditional hawkish, "hard money" approach. It gives perfect certainty and transparency on the supply of money, and removes the Cantillon effect. However that's the idealist view only, because if money isn't pure Bitcoin, if we make, let's say, a BTC-backed fiat, then we lose those absolute properties and fall back to something similar to gold-reserve fiat. We'll see.

Small stagnation untill October-November than slow and steady growth past 120k. Historically BTC was low in summer because most miners are found in the northern hemisphere(US, China, Europe). When summers hit, mining efficiency gets lower and cooling costs go up. This historically made miners "give up" especially retail miners who could not solve the heat issue. In winter this usually reversed, cold weather allowed for natural cooling and more miners would go up. Back in late 2010s, even regular people used to mine btc(and other crypto) in their rooms as a way to passively heat their apartements(while generating new coins). This cycle may not hold anymore, as most btc has been mined already and also more and more btc is being held by institutions, instead of miners. So the new pump and dump cycles probably do not follow the old summer-winter cycles.

“When a short gets liquidated, the position has to buy BTC back” When you say “Has to buy back“ what does that mean exactly? Pls ELI5

Mentions:#BTC

The squeeze didn’t just come out of nowhere. Treasury moved to increase long bond buybacks, long yields eased, the dollar weakened, and BTC already had a couple days of ETF inflows behind it. That gave Bitcoin the initial push through the resistance area everyone had been shorting against. Once BTC broke through that level, the shorts started getting liquidated. When a short gets liquidated, the position has to buy BTC back, so that forced buying pushes the price higher, which liquidates more shorts, which creates even more buying. That’s how you end up with roughly $1.4B in shorts getting wiped out in a few hours and BTC basically going straight up. So the short squeeze was the accelerator, not necessarily the original cause. Now the important part is whether actual spot and ETF buyers keep buying after all that forced short covering fuel is gone.

Predicting BTC is like predicting the weather. Sure we know the seasons and sure we can expect a warming trend in the long term, but day to day, even year to year still will have unexpected variations. Same with Bitcoin that are has some patterns, but they too are not clockwork like some want to pretend.

Mentions:#BTC

Worth noting: the last two major BTC drawdowns (2018, 2022) each took roughly 12-13 months from top to bottom before a sustained recovery started. If this one rhymes, "a couple more months of chop" might be optimistic on the short side — but cycle lengths aren't a law of physics, just a pattern so far.

Mentions:#BTC

When I last had to do a personal assessment that involved crypto I just attached my spreadsheet with about 1000 lines on it. I was quite consistent in recording the ins and outs with values converted to GBP. It was accepted without query. Now I just sit on a small amount of BTC so it’s not an issue until I come to sell. Basically, if you invest then keep some records. If you trade then definitely keep some records. Either way, keep some records.

Mentions:#BTC

Since the top comment is asking whether this is a bull trap, here's what the base rates actually say. I pulled every day across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) where the coin closed up 15% or more on the day. 253 instances. Then I looked at the following day. 57.9% of those next days closed red. 30.3% closed more than 5% down. 13.8% closed more than 10% down. But the average next-day return is +0.92%, comfortably above the +0.21% baseline for a random day. Both of those are true at once, and that is the whole point. The median next day is -1.51% while the mean is positive, because 14.6% of the time the thing rips another 10%+ and drags the average up by itself. The distribution is barbell shaped, not centered. So "is it a bull trap" is the wrong shape of question. Most days after a big pump are red, and the ones that aren't are occasionally enormous. If you size for the average you get run over by the median. If you size for the median you miss the tail that pays. Method: daily candles, Binance spot, up day measured close vs open on the same candle. Happy to be told this breaks somewhere I didn't test.

So glad I did buy more yesterday. Reaching 0.234 BTC :)

Mentions:#BTC

Possibly. I suspect the shorts that were liquidated will play the bull trap. I also suspect this time will be different and they get slapped a second time. The bull trap was done in June. I’ve seen very little that has pushed BTC down of late - not a war restarting, not a fork drama, nor a self custody hack. Nobody knows the future but I’d love shorts to get slapped twice.

Mentions:#BTC

That‘s good overall. Bitcoin became an institutional investment. Means Bitcoin will always be bailed out to save banks from getting dragged down or in other words: BTC will never die

There are almost always second chances.

Bitcoin being too valuable to spend makes zero sense. If you're going to spend fiat anyways, but have the option to spend Bitcoin, you can either spend and replace or convert and spend. Do you think BTC is better "pristine collateral" if it's a greater fool pet rock, or if it's used to foster genuine economic activity?

Mentions:#BTC

Folding at home. Then I was curious, since this was a resource (compute), could I passively earn? Found BTC in 2012. Relapsed in 2014. Woulda coulda millionaire billionaire story. Been clean for about 2 years. Got a new car out of it tho. Last time I sold BTC (6 over 6 months... About 8-9 years ago), I was houseless, living in my $500 ride. McDonald's bathroom hot water towel showers. Sleeping a few blocks from my tech job ($16/hr managing a production art lab). I didn't realize that was a $60k job the way my output was. Car got stolen. Went to Louisiana and was a plug for a while. Got kicked out of the trap, back to West Coast. By then my previous gig and career prior that were but a distant memory. Continued hustling- enrolled in college. Spent all my grants, tuition and scholarship money on mining equipment and buying BTC. My apartment was just mining gear in the second bedroom, a mattress no box in the main, a computer in the living room, and a table and chair for it. 95°F in snowy winter with the heat off. Sold equipment when my 42 TH/s was no longer profitable. A year later my auction house $250 special got stolen from my parking lot. Sold nearly all my crypto for ~$38k. Original investment (equipment, electricity, buying crypto) roughly ~$9-11k. About a %245 return. Not bad. Bought a new car for uhhh $29k down. Was wild taking the Greyhound 200 miles away because this happened during COVID, and due to the chip shortage, there were zero cars in the make model trim color package I wanted. Rep that held the car for me picked me up from the bus station in the whip. 33 miles on the odo. Told him to pick up his greasy fries out of my cup holder. Broke the dealerships money counter with the small bill bonanza Bodega haul. That left me with enough BTC to take a vacation for a few weeks to just lay on a beach and not really dent it, because I sold at a point right before it corrected and just re bought. But... Relapsed again. This time due to university pressure. I had stopped hustling on the street and was hustling scholarships, just investing in stocks, BTC, and oh wait I didn't actually stop hustling... Just feeding my addiction with petty exchanges. Relapsed hard into what would be a 6 week supply, in the face every 3-4 days. String of love letters. Then vendor disappeared. Then a market. Left with nothing but some fucking memories? Kind of... None of those friends during the fast times and $5 bags stuck around. I knew that's how it went, wasn't my first rodeo, but I was a different person now- in uni, new ride, purpose on my shoulders. Fed into the relapse. Took a year off during my undergrad. Got a job. Two years later was two years ago. Decided I have what I needed in life finally. Put everything I had down on a nice two story in the safest part of town, 12 minutes from work. New car. Two beautiful dogs. The best health insurance. Got my weight and health under control. How much BTC am I holding? $500 worth. How far would I be without crypto? I mean hell I might have made it to here, but crypto was my safety net during at least half a dozen critically devastating points in life. It facilitated the absolute worst and abhorrent vices. When I was done hanging myself and didn't somehow die, it gave me that same rope and I was able to climb into whatever crumbs are left of the American dream. Did I answer the question? I forgot what we were talking about.

That's my point, if they DON'T think it's over... then it probably is. That's why buying fear and selling greed work as general rules... I called a BTC low approximately 35 minutes after the February low simply due to capitulatory volume, an extreme volatility reading (largest in the cycle) and a historical fear print. I was ultimately wrong about that being the low... but that low held for like 3 months, do you understand how tradeable that is?

Bitcoin is pristine collateral, it is A) a tool to provide the OPTIONALITY of reducing counter-party risk (this comes with a tradeoff, but for some is an absolute life line when needed), and B) a long-term debasement hedge. Long-term because of it's immaturity as an asset, but this is what solutions like STRC try to give people who want to try and front-run that long-term capability and bring SOME of that functionality forward into the future. The best way for MOST normal, first world people to use BTC right now is to heavily accumulate when it is below business cycle fair values (so, now) and have a long duration view, using it (if comfortable with some counter-party risk) to reduce the rate on their mortgage for example. Actually locking it up, saving it, and getting a financial benefit in the here and now. Bitcoin isn't about changing the government or something, it is about diversifying your risks from debasement - at least on the financial investment side of things. BTC is not a good currency for spending, because it is too valuable for that. Unless you are "SPENDING" (trading) it to buy undervalued (or fair-valued) strong assets to diversify your book at times when BTC is specifically over-valued. This is a bit difficult to do (not that hard though, just plot a 0 to 1 fib between the 2 year and 2 year x 5 MA on a log chart, and when BTC crosses the 0.5 threshold, put in a trailing stop below monthly bullish higher closes). So if you think Apple is cheap or fairly valued at a given time when BTC is ripping... great, go get her tiger... but assets for assets. Dollars are ONLY FOR IMMEDIATE LIQUIDITY, particularly in a crisis.

I like your write up, but I will make the following counterpoints for posterity. **Durability**: Bitcoin has only existed since 2009, mere decades. Gold has served as money for millennia, so it scores higher than BTC Also, bitcoin is at risk of being usurped by another "better" token. As someone said "The first car isn't the best car, the first cellphone isn't the best cellphone" and as such I can totally see some other technology replacing it within our life time. **Security** is also a huge issue and the reason I'd never recommend any crypto to anyone, we've all seen how easy it is for Joe Public to lose everything in an instant. Gold storage has been tired and true and is guaranteed by insurance underwriters. Good luck recovering your crypto when something goes wrong. **Value**: Since bitcoin derives it's price from highly speculative markets, it's value is not as stable as gold has been. To some this is a weakness, to others it has been a welcome trait. **Luckily** you can fractionally allocate as much or as little of either asset in your portfolio as you want =)

The question I'd ask myself: Is it more secure to store my secrets somewhere else and I've to type it in everytime, or is it more secure to store the secrets on the stick on an encrypted partition? Of course, at the end you need that secret to decrypt the partition as well, so we're back on square one :) I don't want to be dis-encouraging, but have you ever had a look at Tails OS, because it kinda does something similar (with Electrum). However, yours is much more targeted to BTC signing (without secret store) only, while Tails does a bit more (persistent storage, encryption with LUKS, tools to backup persistent storage, etc.). It probably depends what you're looking for. I like the idea of having an USB stick (with a backup stick), with an OS booting into RAM only, and an encrypted partition with the wallet on there (which can be encrypted again with another passphrase). I personally don't want to restore the wallet every time, since typing in the secret words adds an attack vector. You'll have the same with Tails, but let's say a camera or keylogger (physical or wireless) records your keystrokes: with Tails they only know the passphrase for the encrypted volume and they still need the USB stick (2FA, what you get & what you know). With your solution they would've the seed / private key (1FA, what you know). I think that's the biggest attack vector you've. Because of that, I'd rather have my private key (or equivalent) encrypted on the stick (or a hardware wallet), than externally and I'd have to type it in every time.

Depends when you bought. What’s more likely to happen first? SPX $7000 to $14,000 for a 2x? Or BTC $60,000 to $120,000 for a 2x. 🤔

Dawg just because you need ChatGPT to understand microstrategy doesn’t mean it’s complicated. Your info is out of date anyways, they abandoned bitcoin yield as a kpi after decreasing it for multiple months in a row. Go look the website. You’re now down to BTC yield of 1.7% on the year, down from a high of 13% on 6/1. This means that if you bought MSTR at any date after that you literally own *less* bitcoin than you did previously lol.

Ehhh I made the mistake of letting "life happen" during the bear market of 2018 only to *still* be clawing my way back to that stack. I sold 2.8 BTC and might not ever reach that amount again. BTC was easy to sell and had high liquidity so I thought it made sense. But I could have easily taken out a loan or LOC or asked family to help -- anything to avoid selling that stack. Anyways, it happened again in 2022 where "life happened" but instead of selling, I found ways to deal with it without selling BTC. Greatest thing I ever did because instead of selling 1.5 BTC, now I have it and continued to stack since then. Low and behold, life happened again during this bear market but I never even once thought of selling. I'll likely never sell again if life goes well -- I can leave that up to my children to decide (but not before I teach them the lesson that life always happens).

People will be saying the same exact thing about BTC at 60k when in 2028 we are trading above 200k. This is literally the last opportunity for regular people to accumulate .1+ BTC if they are at 0. We are getting very close to the point where the masses will be left behind.

24k BTC and 15K eth is very risky portfolio

Me: Sells 10% of my BTC to cover bills on Monday. BTC: Goes up 5% on Wednesday. Typical.

Why are you guys so obsessed with proving BTC is a good investment? Usually people who KNOW something is a good bet, keep quiet.

Imagine looking at the 4 year chart and thinking it makes BTC look like a good investment or currency 😂

Stop worrying about the price. Either price is irrelevant and you believe in BTC or you’re just gambling.

That was good advice at the time because the MNAV was almost 4, but it's terrible advice long term. MSTR will almost certainly outperform bitcoin long term because of the built-in amplification. Basically, as bitcoin goes up in value, the senior claims on the balance sheet (which are in dollars) go down proportionately, which gives common share holders a larger slice of the pie. As they continue selling preferred shares to buy bitcoin, as long as bitcon's CAGR exceeds that of the cost of capital, they will always outperform bitcoin. It's simple math, and demonstrably true. The only possible way that MSTR could not outperform bitcoin is if it's MNAV drops way below 1.0, which never happens in a bull market. And even if that did happen, over enough time, MSTR would still outperform BTC.

The days of 20-30x between cycles are long gone. It's increasingly correlated with the stock market as well as institutional investment has grown. We've been in this 60k channel for 3 months, it's the lowest volatility i've ever seen in BTC
