Funding fee is simply a basis compensation between a coin and its perpetual futures, meaning, if the futures is more expensive than the spot, long holders will pay to short holders an amount to compensate for that, and vice versa. This is done so that the prices of the two instruments never diverge too much. If in your example the futures price was flat, but the funding rate started to increase, it actually means that the price of BTC started dropping. Could that be a reliable sign of an upcoming pump? — you decide.

DanielTheTechie

A bull market doesn't mean that you go from the lowest to the highest price in a straight line. There are bearish retracements along the way. Conversely, in bear markets there are bullish retracements too (e.g. April 2026, where BTC went up 18% before falling a 26% during the following two months).

Hope You Took BTC. All the other ones will explode soon. LTC Next

TheresNoSecondBest

It looks like coinglass takes the USD inflow information (999,000,000) and converts the number to BTC. And for some reason, they used the exchange rate at $81,153, a number we were at last week. I honestly don't see into ETFs that much, but they would have to buy the bitcoin ever the weekend the latest to get such exchange rate.

Iapetus404

When you say "the Internet," you mean the servers and www. There is no problem because BTC it is decentralized. The miners can take control of notes by the net....like the Web 1.0 in 80s And that we want, to make the Web 3

fastfatdrops

Inflation is not likely to never-ever going to fall....so BTC will likely continue to climb Both curves are in sync

DiamondHandsDarrell

I have it and coin base one I earn 4%b back on the first 10k, the unlimited 2% after 10k. Since I've had it (I think almost a year now) I have .05245 BTC earned. Not bad, that's about $4,081 with $473 (11.6%) Then on top of that, I'm holding some cash in USDC which currently pays 3.75% of which I get paid in BTC. That's about $3,500 so far. The biggest trick is to pay it off monthly. And then for me, I make my biggest quarterly expenses with it so even though there's 2% fee to pay with it, getting back $200 in BTC makes it worth it

Noticed that too. I was checking mexc alongside Binance and the BTC perp activity got pretty aggressive.

GrokM14232

$82K tells me less than what happens to real yields and the dollar over the next few Fed meetings. BTC can clear every price level on that list and still get hit if rate expectations reprice higher and liquidity tightens. Fwiw, I’d watch spot ETF flows alongside Treasury yields before calling the bear dead.

KidAmulet

Let's you and me come back to this comment in August 2027, when BTC is only up 3x (from $85k), and the others are up 6 to 10x and have much more adoption and use cases (which is already true). BTC legitimized the industry. It's work is done. Once the market realizes there are better digital assets, the crypto industry will be a lot better off and no longer a slave to BTC price action. Good thing is the decoupling already started this year with HYPE, ZEC, VVV, and NEAR price action while BTC was in a bear market.

jll027

They reversed my transaction after the fact buying 2 BTC in 2015. Got the money back but yeah, still hurts.

Keep stacking sats. At BTC being a million, a sat is now worth a penny equivalent. I mine 4500 sats a day right now for kicks and giggles on my phone, some day that’s going to be 45 bucks a day equivalent without me having done anything.

MiaTaude589

Honestly, calling the bear dead at $82k feels a bit early? I still hold BTC, but those four price levels aren’t much of a roadmap for what happens if it turns around. I’d rather check that my coins are off the exchange and leave the victory speech for later

MiaTaude589

Yeah, it’s a meme, but Bitcoin does run on math: signatures prove you can spend your BTC, and mining uses hashes to make new blocks hard to produce. You don’t need to do any of that math yourself to use it though, thankfully

KidAmulet

I'd do: ETH: 30% SOL: 30% ZEC: 30% - Will outperform ETH, SOL and BTC. BTC: 10% - ZEC implosion insurance BTC's heyday is over. The others are better blockchains, and BTC will start having returns comparable to mag 7, so why take the extra risk?

Dmarine999

I'm keeping my BTC on Coinbase for the near future. I feel like there will be more incidents like this. I'll roll the dice on Coinbase's security vs self-custody/trusting random hardware providers. I'm sure I'll get a ton of downvotes, but, I don't care.

On the whole, that's a decent strategy. The main thing you want to have in any selling strategy is to sell chunks when the price is high. And having a simple rule to follow is a good way of doing it. It can actually be smarter to have a simple, slightly less than optimal rule that you can easily follow. A couple suggestions: 1. You might want to adopt a little more of a ladder strategy. Basically, let the sell trigger go up as you sell. Suppose you buy an asset at $1000. Maybe sell some (fixed percentage) when your holdings reach $1500, and then some more when your remaining holdings reach $1800, etc. You can set the first triggers below what you currently use as triggers and later triggers above. This can be preferable in both directions. You are more likely to have sold proportion of your holdings profitably even if the bull run is disappointing for the asset. But you are also likely to have greater exposure for big wins if the asset really takes off. 2. Don't automatically treat all assets the same. Compare BTC with a speculative altcoin. The speculative altcoin is more likely to go up many multiples, but it is also more likely to crash to nothing, and you probably want to avoid being stuck holding the bag if you don't end up selling a lot. Something like stop-loss orders can be great for that. Including as a way of taking profits. Suppose you are doing pretty well on a speculative asset and it doubled in value. Continue to ladder out but set a rule so you sell everything if it falls back to 1.5x it's orginal price. That way you guarantee yourself decent profits while keeping your exposure to big gains. (Of course it's not foolproof. The time this strategy would perform worst relative to alternatives if the asset crashed to 1.4x and then shot up to 5x.)

I don’t know if “this is good for bitcoin” works if we get hit by a recession. Every economic crises we had, downturn, correction, the Covid crash, and the brief technical recession in 2022, got everyone running away from high risk assets like Bitcoin, and BTC took a big hit each time.

richardto4321

It seems you're mainly just focused on price. Let's look at it a different way. Let's say 20 years from now, the BTC network is still running strong. Still with over 99% uptime and no hacks or major vulnerability that would compromise the network. Still with a predictable supply emission and everything is fundamentally sound. Would that make it more or less valuable? That's the main thing I'm getting at here.

Coleyx123

Like I said, I don't know who he is (I don't think). But I'm with you 100% on mindset. Too many people want to emulate others without being in their shoes, and unfortunately haven't developed their own mindset. What works for me may not for you, or vise versa, and that's cool. You've got to know yourself first, or else you're setting yourself up for failure. I think a lot of people screw themselves by not sticking to "their" method, and just do what a whale does, because he's got to know what he's doing. But unless you're a whale, you can't take the same long-term risk, nor do all whales even have a clue what they're doing. Had I started with BTC when I first learned it existed, I'd be set because I'd have been mining some of the first blocks and be loaded, while still not knowing shit about trading. Gotta have a method and stick to it, but most importantly, don't give into the fear.

TheRadishBros

Imo the only adoption that matters is when JPM etc automatically allocate 1-3% of all their client portfolios to BTC ETFs. Once that happens we’ll reach hyperbitcoinisation and tens of millions of dollars per coin over the following years.

CyanDew

maybe they finally get it. maybe they don’t. regardless of this, i will continue to keep my head down and wallet open. few everyday folks currently understand money, let alone Bitcoin. yet the price of BTC is where it is today. we have barely scraped the surface on the path to global adoption. the facts are hidden underneath the noise, and the majority of the world listens to the noise because the facts seem too far fetched to be real — until it isn’t.

aaj094

Back in April 2020, BCH was around $200 with bch's halving coming up first and btc was around 5k. So ratio 0.04. BCH shills were shouting hoarse how it was obvious that BCH had a better 10x potential while BTC doing that was pure hopium (remember the context when toilet paper was considered of more value by some than BTC because of lockdown). The ratio went from 0.04 to 0.002. Now with this latest pump, the shills will come out with the same pitch as last time, just with different numbers.

personpilot

I lump summed then started to DCA right during ATH last year. I was in the red all year but now I’ve gained everything back plus some and will continue to DCA. I have been following bitcoin forever but never bought in until recently, because BTC has now basically proven it will always in the end keep going up. 57k is the last lowest bottom I fear. But that’s not actually a bad thing, but man I hoped it would go to 20 (cause then slingshot signals would be crazy, even more crazy than the Covid slingshot) I 100% believe BTC will hit 1 mill and beyond, but not for a VERY long time. I thought it would come sooner, especially if BTC dipped below 50, but now I’m thinking itll be more like 10-15 years to do so rather than 5-10.

That’s the question everyone asking into crypto currencies. I don’t have an legit answer but I think BTC is the digital gold itself. Any attempt through tokenism. BTC will go up doesn’t matter what are the conditions. And either governments that they print money without asking me has the power on it or corporations same thing different color. But at least I can move my money faster, at least I can get into it earlier and leave something to my kids

ubermensch1001

Honestly, just buy BTC.

Bruh I’ve been here since 2017. Zoom out on the chart. BTC going to get punished in the future. Still got my bag, I’m just saying. Everyone else (even Cowen) can suck it. I’ve been through too many crypto winters at this point that I’ve already embraced the coming drop.

WoodenHair5973

Feels like this market is doing a great job punishing anyone who needs immediate confirmation. Bulls want the breakout yesterday and bears keep waiting for the perfect flush. Meanwhile BTC just keeps grinding through both narratives. Moon has been pretty useful for seeing how divided the sentiment still is.

Tricky-Tangelo123

The interesting part to me is how little BTC seems to care about headlines that would have caused absolute chaos a few cycles ago. Everyone is trying to front run the Fed and regulation at the same time, but price is basically forcing both sides to stay uncomfortable. Been seeing the same split in the Bitcoin chatter showing up on Moon lately.

I dont know? I'm just asking - is it not as likely to go up as go down? Because this post is insinuating that because BTC has been on an upward trajectory for the past few weeks, that it'll continue to do so, and not go down. I'm asking where that assumption comes from.

Linett-Chukwuemeka61

Saylor's basically just dollar-cost averaging at this point, which is honestly the least spicy thing a mega-corp could do with their treasury. If you're not at least considering BTC allocation in a diversified portfolio right now, the opportunity cost math gets harder to ignore.

Zdendon

Too much fun like this will make BTC go 40k. You know just out of spite.

hoppeeness

Ok. But its value is determinate by how much is owned, demand and its scarcity. Sure you can own BTC and have control over it but if all the financial institutions rather own tokenized gold…how much do you think the BTC you own will be worth? What going to keep the price elevated. BTC isnt transactional this point. It’s just a store of value. How many miners are going to keep going to support it as it becomes more and more hard to mine, energy costs get more expensive and the BTC price increasingly flattens out?

BTC dropped 55% nine months after the 2025 bull peak in October. While it wasn't a 75% drop 12 months after, it's hard to argue the four year cycle is over. I doubt we'll see BTC below 56K, but the year also isn't over.

So far, BTC has shown that it gets better and more valuable with time, not worst with time. The rest is just noise.

I mined and held BTC before any other crypto currency protocol ever existed.

AdOk1101

BTC is an over valued obsolete TCP/IP network protocol due for a bubble burst driven by public IT ROI realization. BTC requires bespoke compute hardware and transactions are slow with high fees that are not adequately rewarding mining operations, and will continue devolve over time. BTC is a pending bubble at current and projected valuations. [https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1tz0z1s/are\_bitcoin\_miners\_turning\_off\_their\_rigs/](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1tz0z1s/are_bitcoin_miners_turning_off_their_rigs/)

AdOk1101

Nothing ever goes up forever. The academic immutable technical fact about BTC is that it's an obsolete protocol. It also happens to be wildly over valued given it's lack of protocol functionality and absolute requirement to use bespoke/specialized compute hardware that is not cheap....transactions are not cheap as well compared to other more technically capable/robust protocols. Crypto currencies are just TCP/IP network protocols folks....eventually the IT ROI value perspective will change the market and it has started already.

AdOk1101

Get it before the BTC bubble bursts on the ever increasingly clearer news that BTC is an oversold obsolete technology.

jakedaboiii

Nothing points to bitcoin having a ceiling at 100K. Money keeps inflating, so everyone keeps getting more of it. Bitcoin has a limited supply. Continually pour water (fiat) into a bucket (BTC), and the bucket is gonna get heavier and heavier (increase in value). We reached 100k before without much adoption. As adoption increase, it will only go higher. Most people with bitcoin are treating it as a long term investment/store of value.

Lavayo

Smarter than me. I was still smart enough to never go below 80% BTC though, even when I was starting with BTC and "the best altcoins". I understood the difference when I heard someone say altcoins are just privately minted fist currencies.

Queasy-Ride4291

I actually have a legit answer to this question. It stems from human psychology and how our species evolved to survive. Humans evolved to understand cause and effect, a subconscious understanding of Newton’s third law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If a saber-toothed tiger is chasing you, it will not stop until something stops it. Like a spear. It’s the same reason gods exist, to explain the inexplicable. We used to have many gods, that explained the wind, the sun, the moon, etc. Once science explained those away, we were left with one god to explain the rest. This brings me to markets. Stocks, bonds, commodities, sports, tulips, doesn’t matter. A market is a market. When something is trading in one direction, humans believe that only an outside event can cause that trajectory to change. Cause and effect. The flaw is that markets don’t work like that. The markets are the collective will of all participants. The market moves without regard to what’s happening around it. Sure, a news event can cause some volatility, but it’s not going to change the collective will of the market as a whole. The latest group to be burned by this phenomenon was Bitcoin bears. Price was moving down and bear the bottom several news events occurred that made them believe price was dropping even further, since the effect of something like cold card wallet attacks is negative, therefore that only adds to the trend. Well, once again, as can be related thousands of times over thousands of years, that line of thinking is incorrect. The market does not move “reacting” to outside events. If anything, outside events are reflected in the market. The cold card hack was at the bottom of a market of some degree. The “FTX crash” at the bottom of a market after a sustained downtrend. The beginnings of World War II, you guessed it, the bottom of a down trend. Same thing happens to the upside. A “pro crypto” president gets elected in the US, etc. The news events that happen are reflected by the trend that is already occurring in the market. Of course this happens at varying degrees. So, of course price can reverse for BTC, without a “reason.” It has before and will continue to do so. Because the laws of the market are more akin to quantum physics rather than Newtonian physics. Humans just aren’t hard wired to understand it since it goes against our very survival instincts. Anyway, that’s the answer to your question. 

Common-Reserve-389

With BTC I think having a plan before buying matters more than finding the perfect entry. lti yeaDecide how much volatility you can actually sit through and whether this is a trade or a mr position. I keep BTC on my Moon watchlist mainly so Im not making decisions off whatever headline is loudest that day.

Late 2022 vibes again. 2027 will be boring like 2023 probably but the market should start going up slowly . But mostly sideways . 2028 will be the explosion . Unless the elites decide to kick it off earlier before the next halving this time . 2025 was kinda bear market for most alts except BTC , XRP , Tron and BNB

Calm-Neighborhood-43

So if we pick a random alt coin AlGO. It rose 130% between April 2025 and July 2025. On the same dates BTC rose 61% Going back further between to Nov 2024 and December 2024 ALGO rose 400% while BTC rose 60% These are the 2 most recent big moves. The same would be true for most alts in the top 150 coins Can you show me where BTC putperformed? A lot of alts just broke out of resistance in the last few weeks some of them reaching already 2x Can you see BTC higher than 2x from here? Im not predicting anything, im just pointing out evidence contrary to your claim that "BTC will outperform" and "that there is no point in holding alts"

The rude awakening may be for those that think BTC will hit $300k or more this cycle. The conservative mindsets will not be surprised. Where is all the new money coming from? If we see a true supply shortage, it could happen, but that isn't a guarantee, it's a theory. And we are a ways away from having exchanges being out of BTC to sell.

EthanDavis63

1 BTC = 1 BTC. We aren't celebrating Bitcoin getting expensive; we're watching fiat currencies race to zero.

We_DemBoys

Invest overall if you haven't done so already. Don't forget to diversify into etf's such as VT as an example too. Don't put all you eggs in one basket. If you believe in BTC and it's future then yes. Asking advice strangers on the internet is not doing your due diligence though. Do your homework on anything you decide to invest in.

PhilMyu

When you divide infinite amounts of dollars that could exist by 21 million, you’ll get where Bitcoin price can go. It’s just human psychology to believe the status quo is „just right“ and any projection sounds unbelievable. $100 and $1000 BTC used to be pipe dreams as well.

Porcellanidae

if you want actual Bitcoin, the easiest way is to register yourself at a wellknown centralized exchange, such as coinbase. It is worth mentioning that a bitcoin is always dividable up to 0.00000001 (1/100.000.000). Which we call satoshi's. So you literally can start buying with any amount. for small amounts you can keep it there, but when your are serious you should leave notable amounts never on the exchange. An exchange is meant to exchange dollars for Bitcoin. To hold Bitcoin for the long haul you should go for a self custody wallet, such as Trezor/Jade/Bitbox... If the above is all too difficult, too hard, then you could also just go for a regular brokerage account. For instance through your bank. Most places where you can buy stock or etf's you can also buy the Bitcoin ETP. Here you can start investing in Bitcoin for 1/10000 of the price of a Bitcoin, so $8.50 gives you roughly 0.00001 BTC. ETP's are IOU's, which mean you own a paper version of Bitcoin, you dont own the actual Bitcoin, but you are exposed to its price.

UrbanGrower187

I actually agree with you. I’m not talking about people who simply have a different strategy or choose not to own Bitcoin. I’m talking about the people who repeatedly show up during every downturn claiming holders are going to lose everything and that anyone accumulating has no idea what they’re doing. Then, when the market turns around, many of those same voices disappear. So I understand why long-term accumulators occasionally push back. For a lot of us, the goal was never to prove we can time every top and bottom it’s simply to keep accumulating BTC over the long term. There’s a difference between celebrating your strategy working and rubbing it in someone’s face.

FX_King_2021

I saw the same hopium posts like "$500k, $1 million, etc." when Bitcoin hit $125k :D All I’m hoping for is the BTC price to reach its ATH again, stay there for a year or so, and then maybe aim for the next target of $150k-$200k. The $300k mark sounds like it’s still years away.

Adventurous_Mode_369

Wallet is fine!! Just keep stacking. Buy Buy Buy!! I did something similar, lost around $15k in futures. Now I treat my wallet as a “one way street” the BTC I send to it, will NEVER be sent out. If I want to leverage trade again i’ll deposits money directly for that, never gambling with my stack again though!

I’m going to give you the harsh truth those TikTok influencers won’t, but it’s the exact advice that will actually make you money instead of losing your savings. Those videos of people making thousands a day from their phones? They make their money by selling courses to beginners and farming engagement, not by trading. The statistical reality is that 95% of day traders lose their money to algorithms and insiders. If you try to quit your 9-to-5 next month by flipping crypto, you will get wrecked. If you actually want to change your financial future, here is the boring, proven playbook: 1. Turn off your DMs right now. Anyone messaging you on Reddit offering to "help," "guide you," or asking you to connect a wallet is a scammer. Every single one. 2. Stick to the blue chips. Open an account on Coinbase or Kraken and buy Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Ignore the meme coins promising 100x returns, they are essentially lottery tickets where the house always wins. 3. DCA (Dollar Cost Average). Buy a set amount (even just $20 or $50 a paycheck) every single week, regardless of whether the market is up or down. This takes the emotion out of investing and prevents panic-buying. 4. Think in years, not days. Crypto moves in 4-year cycles. Buy, hold, and learn how to move your coins to a hardware wallet (like a Ledger or Trezor) for safe keeping. Keep grinding your day job, build your stack quietly, and have patience. It is not a get-rich-quick cheat code, but if you are disciplined and hold long enough, it is one of the best wealth builders of our generation.
