Someone bought 10,000 Bitcoin in 2011 for $7,805 when BTC was trading at $0.78. He survived multiple crashes and held for nearly 14 years without touching a single coin. Then in 2025 he sold it for over $1 Billion, making a 128,205x return.

Not really. When you move it onto the exchange to sell, it should be on there only long enough to convert to fiat…ideally just a matter of minutes. That’s a different story than leaving BTC on the exchange for potentially months.
Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1une99y/how_are_you_adjusting_btc_vs_stablecoin_exposure/ 146 countries now exploring CBDCs, per the latest Atlantic Council tracker, and that’s up from 87 just four years ago — this isn’t a thought experiment anymore, it’s the new monetary baseline being built around us. Looking through the policy moves, the picture is pretty clear: China is still furthest along with e-CNY (large-scale pilots, integration into everyday apps), the ECB is pushing the digital euro design phase, and places like Nigeria, the Bahamas, and the Eastern Caribbean already have live CBDCs, even if usage is mixed. The IMF is running dedicated CBDC training for central bankers, the BIS keeps publishing cross‑border settlement blueprints, and the Fed is carefully laying conceptual groundwork on its CBDC page while rolling out FedNow as the “interim” rails. We’re moving from theory papers to operational playbooks. A small group of countries clearly wants CBDCs not just for retail payments efficiency, but to chip away at dollar dominance through cross‑border CBDC corridors and FX bridges. For Bitcoin and broader crypto, I don’t see CBDCs as direct competition; they’re the opposite end of the spectrum. CBDCs are centrally issued, surveillable liabilities with programmable rules; BTC is credibly scarce, bearer-like, and jurisdiction-agnostic. If anything, the more explicit the CBDC regime becomes, the more obvious the need for a parallel, non-sovereign asset and for neutral collateral in a slow-motion de‑dollarization world. Meanwhile, institutions are quietly positioning: spot BTC ETFs in the US, banks offering custody, and tradfi adopting stablecoins on permissioned chains. All of this happens against a backdrop of structurally negative real yields and ongoing fiscal dominance. The monetary experiment is not ending; it’s evolving. Personally, with CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self-custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger and then I use Coinbase for regulated exposure and fiat on/off ramps in the US: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase Curious how everyone here is actually sizing CBDC risk: are you changing your BTC vs. stablecoin mix, diversifying across jurisdictions, or just treating CBDCs as noise until a major economy fully flips the switch?

Show me where BTC has had \*any uptrend in the last year. This is year #1 of 4-yr cycle. Might be 5yr since crypto has never had a sitting Prez PUMP & DUMP yall so hard. Clarity will never exist, and think many are having hard time telling themselves they got dunked on with all the hype.
I use CoinTrends to quickly screen for gainers and losers over certain period of time and also use TradingView to look at charts and patterns for the coins that I find. I select period of BTC that looks interesting to me and the site shows me which coins performed best/worst. Also I can quickly see how coins from my portfolio (watchlist) performed during that period of time.
BTC/ETH/SOL. Possibly HYPE. I’d like to say TAO/Bittensor but I dunno, the AI space is crowded.
Wow 😮, If SNP500 or dollar would collapse, are there any chance that people would use BTC for trade, Or do they would run to buy overprinted priceless dollars? 💸 💵
You’re going to see quite a few ‘not your keys…’ comments - which are 100% true. What you may also want to consider are the fees and spreads of the exchange you are using. Before you buy any more BTC take a look at your exchange and see how much it will cost to sell or transfer it then compare that to other exchanges. You may also want to look into some exchanges that offer ‘staking’ of BTC if you are not planning on selling (research them thoroughly before deciding).
Not El Salvadors. They buy 1 BTC daily dollar cost average.
Are you jocking right? WHERE DID YOU HEARD THAT? You just post this shit to create controversy? What's the source? You need to read more about BTC and how it works. THEN ask yourself again the question "IS Bitcoin Cash BETTER THAN Bitcoin?" I you will feel dumb. Is easier to post it here than look up for answers on google before. Research about the blockchains and the problems they solve before post here please.
If CDC or Coinbase goes under there’s more problems in the world than whether or not you have a cold wallet or what price BTC is
ETH/BTC back at weekly 21 sma resistance....been rejected each time since November. Break and close above big signal...btc.d could start to collapse.
That means other people bought 491 BTC
Some people didnt think they needed a cold wallet and letf their coins on MtGox, or FTX, or Blockfi, Celsius, QuadrigaCX, Cryptopia, Bitgrail, Youbit, Einstein, Cointed, Bitcoinica, Vircurex , Coin.mx, BTC-e, Cryptsy. All of them ended up regretting their choice. Meanwhile, those of us who have cold storage have lived thru countless exchanges collapsing. I've used at least 3 now-defunct exchanges in the past. Didnt care when any of them went under cause they didnt have my coins. I have my coins. Dont take unnecessary risks. Self custody is very easy to learn. Not your keys, not your cheese
BTC is used for crime that’s what.
If you're still asking yourself if BTC is a scam you've pretty much self-identified as a crypto noob who hasnt done much homework or trading.
Look at Cuvex Bit (BTC only, stateless)
This post kind of insults people intelligence. It's like I can't ever get the time back. I'm not sure if someone who doesn't understand the difference between BTC, altcoins and crypto should be allowed to post.
Meh, yes and no. I have a few thousand $ worth on Robin Hood because I like their platform and charts, and I fool around with shitcoins. I would not trust them with all of my BTC tho. I think you're fine trusting the exchanges while you learn how BTC works, but eventually you'll want to secure your investment. It's a good idea to set up a cold wallet and just move a little of BTC around until you are comfortable with how it works.
lol sold out of BTC while it’s low, to buy into AI at the peak… true WSB mentality
I wasn’t referring to the BTC itself becoming lost, but your access to it. Exchanges have been known to lock customer accounts due to “suspicious activity” and won’t disclose what that means. The rise of relying on AI to auto flag these things is probably going to make that worse. If your account gets locked, it can be very difficult to get access to it again. Meanwhile, you don’t have access to the BTC because they control the keys to it.
I’m going to go against the grain here and say it depends. It depends on how much risk you’re willing to go through and how well you sleep at night with that risk. A Trezor is what, €60? What’s the point of paying that if you own 20€ in BTC? If you own 200€, I still think it’s not really worth it. At 2000€ it starts making sense. My point is, I think it’s stupid to recommend cold wallets to people who can easily bear the very unlikely scenario their cold wallet gets hacked. Up until multiple thousands I had my coins sitting on Blue Wallet on my Mac because it’s a simple, great wallet that’s quite secure. When I went 5 digits I was uneasy so I moved it all to a Trezor. It’s a relative question not an absolute one,
There is absolutely no reason you should have gotten downvoted for this. This post shows exactly why people new to crypto should never self custody. Losing BTC on an exchange is almost unimaginably rare now compare to losing it via a mistake like the one OP made. Way more people have lost funds due to self custody errors than to exchange failures.
Only if you really need your BTC
yes u can swap USDT to BTC in trust wallet and then send it to another wallet. just watch fees and make sure u're on the correct network....

Buy now. Go all in before it's too late! Sell your house and go all in BTC!!!!
Life is meant to be lived, but BTC is life sooo...
Why would you not buy stuff you want also? BTC is just an investment, nothing more, and like any investment you use money thats left over to help you in your later years. Dont forget to live today while you save for tomorrow.
When is ETH finally going to deliver another 3x? At this point, it feels like “never.” Over the last several years, ETH has consistently underperformed Bitcoin. Every time it looks like it’s about to catch up, it gives back most of its gains while BTC continues to make new highs and outperform over the long run. Why should I keep allocating capital to ETH when Bitcoin has repeatedly proven to be the better investment? At this point, the opportunity cost of holding ETH instead of BTC seems increasingly hard to justify.
Not just you, there's something about 1 BTC that hits different as a goal. It's probably because it's the only asset where owning one full unit is going to become increasingly rare.
How many of you are also exposed to the SP500 and also raking in gains there vs just being a troglodyte and all in on BTC while missing gains elsewhere due to ego and pride etc.? I'd bet over half of you at very least are eating shit and pretending to smile lmao.
why is a shi\*?LTC was fine from the start. I use it for payments since 2015 probably, never had issues, it was always faster than BTC or ETH, lower in fees, and stable.. Idk, i will always trust more on some coin with history than some 'better' new alt
because higher x? BTC will go maybe 2x, ETH can do 3x?
Alts existem milhões, ja BTC só existe 1!
ETH has a completely different use case and well, it’s been stagnant over the last couple of years while BTC has consistently gained value. I don’t exactly know why people buy ETH over BTC. I would not.
I think BTC more as the super hot extremely bipolar older sister and LTC the younger kinda meh looking with potential and only slightly bipolar sibling
Why LTC when you can have BTC? It’s like the little brother who will never surpass its older sibling.
Yes. Sell half your BTC, buy an apartment or two, rent them out and go to SEA and life off rent + BTC profits. If you hate your job and you keep doing it, you'll end up with a stroke, cancer or a chronic illness.
i think its healthy to have a balance. saving and investing are important, but so are experiences and enjoying ur life, if buying BTC means never spending on things that genuinely matters to u, it's probably worth reassessing that balance.....
When I bought it at the time, sure maybe a bit. But now BTC allows me to buy whatever I desire. Without my stash I wouldn't be able to do and buy half the stuff I do
You can't even do math. To reach the price of $250k BTC would need a market cap of $5T. That's exactly 4x from the current market cap of $1.25T. Also, please stop posting your posts are getting dumber with each passing day.
When walls come tumbling down ... Saylor gonna be forced to sell at some point... Just so he can DCA.... That my friend is when the bottom is in. Saylor is BTC. Then there is the billions the us govt owns because they confiscated it from criminals... They can dump the market at any moment ...and they will. Especially with daddy trump
You don't have to post it. You can just buy it and then watch BTC go down in August, and then you'll sell in September, and then it starts going up in October that's when you comeback to complain that every time you buy it goes down and then when you sell it goes up.
The Internet needs an infinitely scalable decentralised blockchain that can handle 1M+ TPS, with nodes running on cheap consumer hardware with 4 cores and 16GB RAM. It doesn't need BTC.
Likely just BTC even ETH will die probably soon.
I've never seen so many micro BTC inflows before, like less than $1, but there are hundreds of them, and why with the fees being maybe more than the actual amount. He has an account at Cryptonit.net.
Some say the BTC Spot ETFs, which were not there the last 4y cycle, dampen the overall downside. Seems logical and I think we are not going down much further.
I'm in a similar situation this year. When BTC is in a bear market, I tend to save money. I often hesitate to buy something. But just yesterday I bought a ticket to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert" (a film with a symphony orchestra). The event doesn't take place until April next year, but tickets are selling out quickly and I've been wanting to experience this for a long time. (I also want to build a new PC, but prices have gone up a lot, I'll wait....)
Pretty much this. Everything else is trying to imitate it and come up with utility. The utility is all bullshit and it's how you brainwash morons into thinking a coin is valuable. Having zero utility but beiythe original and free is what will keep BTC around.
Yes, I’m haunted by that myself as well. I’m refraining from buying stuff and mostly buy BTC instead, especially when in a bear market like right now. I tell myself I’ll be more generous to myself once I become financially independent, but guess what - I don’t believe this to come true, ever. So i became creative and tricked myself into spending more for myself by getting one of these fancy crypto debit cards that gives me 2% cashback on every purchase, paid out in BTC. Now whenever I make a purchase, I’ll pick up some sats as well. Now I find myself in the position of buying stuff I don’t need just to get the BTC, lol, I’m just joking 🙃 , but honestly spending has become easier for me though.
No, forget about other things and just buy BTC. Don’t let your life distract you.
It’s to late for that. BTC is already down 50%. Everyone who followed the cycle sold/shorted in Oct/Nov and are winning. Even if $58k turns out to be the bottom, -50% is buying territory already so nothing to lose, and even those who wait till Oct, it’s very unlikely BTCs going to be over $100k this year, and everything under $100k BTC is deals 🤷🏾♂️
Hey lad, I wasn't giving my opinion on Strategy (but I will below haha)😁 Just so fed up with people on **both** sides of the argument flinging shit without substance/proof. WSJ isn't exactly proof btw - citing a news outlet to be your source rather than doing the research yourself is a cop-out I'm afraid. I'd say the same to a MSTR fanatic that blindly defends Strategy too. So my opinion then: I do lean more on the side that Strategy will be fine because they now have 17.4 months of cash for dividend coverage. BTC could literally sit here for the next year and a half and Strategy are chilling. I think them paying off that other convertible debt recently was not a good move but it's not "death"-inducing, and is entirely separate to their pref obligations. Plus, it's a very human thing to want to find a scapegoat for anything bad in life, and it happens every crypto cycle. This cycle's blame game is being sent in Strategy's direction but it's unfounded. Only those who *haven't* read Strategy's balance sheet and *haven't* been present in their shareholder meetings are saying that Strategy will die, because once one reads the numbers the "Strategy will die" mantra becomes an argument with math itself. I will now step off my soapbox.😉
Typical? This cycle the substantial gains were made in the year before the halving, where BTC went up almost 5x from the bottom. After the halving it barely got to a 2x. Big money stepped in, stuff changed.
I left the second trump touches BTC, everything he touches goes to shit
>What is "rugged"? That's when you realize you've been lied to. If your node runs bip110 and stops agreeing on 99,5% of the mined blocks being valid (these are the current numbers), than you're in the 0.5% chain split. One day later, your chain is about 143 blocks shorter than the main chain. One week later the difference is 1,000 blocks. Orphan. To NOT become an orphan, somebody will come up with an idea to hard fork out of Bitcoin. Creating a new shitcoin like bcash. Every BTC holder gets the same amount of that shitcoin. People will try to get rid of one to support (buy) the other coin. If you're in the wrong camp, you might have regrets. Bcash, Bitcoin gold, BSV and other fork holders lost more than 90% of money. Don't get caught in that. Run the bip110 node if you wish, just be careful going all in on the new fork. The people telling you to, will still hold BTC because they know how bad this might end up.
I hope it doesn’t tank. It’s not like it can’t happen. I believe in BTC long term being something that’s helps me rather than hinders and I believe it has true support by people who truly support it regardless of mainstream opinions and so on. I think and hope that enough people believe in it to the point it can’t fail because of its fundamentals. Good luck on getting that coin.
They'll all still be here, surely. I mean imagine a world without 10 million ways to send someone a bit of unstable currency. Just BTC maybe? The rest will be more defunkt than now. Proof case of viable tech at best. If governments wanted you to 'own' money then fiat wouldn't still be owned by the printers. Only BTC had half a chance at being an alternative to that. Frequent BTC forks and companies like MSTR trying to own 5% of it only destroys the premise
Charting was the easy part of that tool. The expensive bit was holding live order book state across a dozen exchange feeds at once, since each one streams diffs and you rebuild the book locally, and if you drop a single message you have to resnapshot the whole thing. Running that for BTC across Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp 24/7 costs real server money, so any free clone either paywalls itself in month two or just goes stale and dies.
I purchased 50k in a lot of different crypto assets in 2021. Some good, some bad. I sold everything earlier this year and made a profit of 35k. If I was smarter I could have walked away with profits of 80k. But I’m grateful that I walked with profits and not losses. If I could do it all over again I would have taken that 50k and just dumped it into an index fund. Doing that would have allowed me to not stress, constantly looking at charts. Crypto is stressful and completely unpredictable. And unfortunately I just didn’t get in early enough to get crazy 10x pumps on my coins. Those days are likely behind us for good IMO. Some people will disagree. I will also say, if you’re dead set into getting into crypto, just stick with BTC. Have a game plan and stick to it no matter what. It’s incredibly easy to say you just want to double your money and get out, but you will 100% get greedy and wait to see if it will 3x, 4x, 5x. And the reality is that by waiting to see what happens, you’ll likely start losing profits. Getting into crypto is an interesting study into the human psychology of risk/reward, and will make otherwise smart people make incredibly risky and dumb decisions. Again, my advice is to stay away and put money into long term stocks. This is just the opinion of someone that invested and payed attention to the chats every day for 5 years. It wasn’t really worth it.
In Italia tassazione è completamente diversa, se compri BTC 33% sulla plusvalenza, se compri IBIT 26%
BTC: store of value ETH: smart contracts XMR: p2p digital cash. Maybe a few other longshots like LINK BCH DOGE for reasons I'm sure you can guess after minimal research.
How do you measure what you have? For example I easily know that I have .1 or .2 or 1 BTC in my self custody. When you buy an ETF, how do you know how much BTC that represent ?
With BTC having a market cap of $1.3T versus global equities at $160T, bonds at another $150t, and real estate at some $400t, owning SOME BTC may make sense, but is it less than half of a percent of your asset allocation if you look at the total market of investment opportunities.
What ever happened to those states proposing no taxes on BTC sales? I remember Texas made it official then I guess backed out of the whole thing.

You may not view it that way, but that is how financial markets value assets. The present value of its future income are discounted back to its current value. BTC is currently perceived by all the financial wisdom of the planet (that are all pursuing profit) as having the same economic value as 2x of Costco, or a similar value to the major payment processors. Its actually quite a high value if you think about it.
**Headline:** K Wave has abandoned its Bitcoin treasury strategy, sold all of its BTC, and is pivoting toward AI infrastructure while seeking to raise up to **$250 million**. **Why it matters:** It's another example of a company reversing course after the corporate Bitcoin treasury boom faded, highlighting the risks of tying a business to crypto speculation. * **Bitcoin strategy is over:** K Wave sold its remaining Bitcoin in April and May after holding just **88 BTC**, abandoning a previous goal of accumulating **10,000 BTC**. * **Pivot to AI:** The company plans to redirect capital toward **AI data centers and GPU infrastructure**, reduce debt by selling its entertainment business, and rename itself **Talivar Technologies**. * **Financial challenges:** The proposed **$250 million** shelf offering is far larger than the company's current market value, and Nasdaq has warned K Wave twice this year over minimum listing requirements. * **Part of a broader trend:** Several companies that embraced Bitcoin treasury strategies have since retreated as crypto prices and share prices fell. Some, particularly former Bitcoin miners, have shifted toward AI infrastructure in search of more stable revenue. * **No guarantee of success:** While some firms have benefited from AI pivots, AI infrastructure is highly capital-intensive and competitive, leaving K Wave with significant execution and financing risks.
BTC will have another massive bullrun ahead and after the halvening. This is literally when you bu ly btc. October is the floor lol, this has happened in a 4 year cycle every year like clockwork and you still get moronic ass posts like this. It’s not a store of value to your average joe. It’s something you trade. If you’re close to retirement at best it’s a hedge against inflation with low allocation. Anyone who says otherwise is a crypto bro or blowing smoke and I don’t care.
Agree completely. The fee will be paid whether the price goes up or down. Blackrock itself is BTC agnostic.
That the 8 billion people on the planet have chosen to value BTC’s future value creation as 3x of that of Costco’s value proposition should give you an idea of just how fringe the belief in the value of the token is. Diner’s club was also early in its innovation of credit cards, and is not irrelevant. Visa is now worth half of BTC ($600b), Amex $240b, and Master card another $540b. So the market currently values BTC about the same amount of the current american based credit card processors. You may be right that the value of BTC is too low, but the market currently does not agree with you.
You think BTC will go down after all?
Why are you still thinking of BTC in terms of dollars?
I agree, and I do believe good came from it. Being able to purchase FBTC in my IRA for example, but I hate the fact big hedge funds can create paper BTC and fuck with one of the things that makes BTC awesome.
What market are you looking at that has BTC "back up?" 5% gain in a week is irrelevant. If it was any lower Doge would be standing on its throat.
Holding already gets you good returns and trying to sell and rebuy to get more BTC has a risk of you ending up with less BTC instead if you time it wrong
ETH, in some way BTC, others not 100% Even if robots take all power than ETH would continue to exist, perhaps it would be more sustainable than humans 😏, BTC is more manipulative and human relative
If every man woman and child owned btc coin today they would each have 0.002416 BTC from total mined supply. You are way ahead.
*sigh..* so much nonsense in such a short post, where to even start... I guess I'll just start with the obvious; no you didn't. Next, when you say "since BTC has no intrinsic value, what reason could there be to convince me that money is not the answer and there is a bigger picture in play" you didnt actually say anything. This sentence doesn't actually mean anything. Its a badly formulated mishmash of words that has no meaning whatsoever. You clearly have something you want to say here, but you didn't actually manage to say it. The second part doesn’t clearly follow from the first. It reads like it should be a separate thought. There's no logical bridge between the two, and its far from clear what exactly you are asking in the second part like... “convince me that money is not the answer” is just vague like.. the answer to what? who is convincing you? What do you mean with "a bigger picture in play"? In play where? Like in terms of just money? Are you talking about like.. God? Or life in general? Are we still talking about just money and value here? What does any of this mean? No clue... Lastly, and most importantly by far, "Intrinsic value" is a phrase who's only function is to reveal the fundamental ignorance of the person that says it. There is no such thing. Value is subjective. It does not reside in the object being valued, it exists only in the mind of the person doing the valuation. Since your post contains so much nonsense (and in so few words! amazing...), it's safe to assume that this "system" you've "developed" is almost certainly nonsense as well. Unless of course, I mean.. do you plan to share this system with us? Or are we supposed to just take your word for it? Cause if you dont share it or provide some kind of evidence, I'm kind of forced to conclude that this post boils down to "I don't know the first thing about economics, grammar, syntax, or logic, but I do want to let you all know that I'm smarter than all of you and will be filthy rich soon (trust me bro)"?
I'd push back on the idea that utility is a "minority" use case. stablecoins alone settled over $12 trillion in 2025, and most of that wasn't speculation, it was cross-border payments, remittances, and payroll for remote workers. that's real commerce flowing through crypto rails even if nobody's tweeting about it. the speculation-to-AI rotation is real but it doesn't mean the infrastructure dies. it means the people building actual products on crypto rails matter more now than the pump-chasers. think about it this way: email didn't die when the dot-com bubble popped. the garbage projects died and the useful ones survived. the part of crypto that's genuinely useful right now is the payments layer. being able to hold stablecoins and spend them anywhere via a Visa debit card with $0 card fees and 0% international markups, that's a product that works regardless of whether BTC goes to 200k or 20k. VaultLeap is doing exactly this and the fact that it's self-custodial means your funds aren't exposed to counterparty risk from some exchange collapsing. the real question isn't whether "crypto recovers" as a speculative asset. it's whether the infrastructure becomes invisible and useful. what do you think would change your mind on the utility argument?
So the scuttlebutt is that Saylor sold 491 BTC on July 1. Does anybody care?
ETH is up more than BTC on the daily?
Solana, BTC and very likely XRP.
LOL! Yeah, right. Because of why? Enron was “too big to fail”. They went to zero and that was a huge energy company. BTC has no assets and no intrinsic value. Without someone who will buy, the price will continue marching to zero.
BTC just chilling at resistance while alts bleeding out, classic summer doldrums i guess. every time i think about picking up some ETH the chart looks like a ski slope and i close the app at least the daily thread is quiet today, that usually means we are near a bottom or something right? or maybe everyone is just at bbq for the holiday
You are only accounting for if the crash were to happen tomorrow. One year of dividends sounds like a lot and for a more stable situation it is but more than likely the way for them to continue funding them in a palatable manner is if BTC stabilizes. You are probably right in that I am probably being overly pessimistic but to me there isn’t much of a difference between going under and becoming insignificant for the rest of its existence.
Real answer: 1. Maintain stable income. 2. Pay your monthly bills. 3. Contribute to retirement accounts for stock market exposure and for tax advantages. 4. Service all your debts. Never hold credit card debt. 5. Build a 6 months cash emergency fund. 6. Eat well. Whole, nutritious foods. Proteins and fats. Steak, eggs, salmon, avocado, fruits & veggies. 7. Stay hydrated. 8. Exercise regularly. Strength train. Mobility and injury prevention exercises. 9. Get consistent and sufficient sleep. 10. Get adequate sunlight outdoors every day. 11. DCA in BTC regularly. 12. DCA harder or add more lump sums when BTC trends below 200 week moving average. 13. Support your family, friends, and community. 14. Give more than you take/receive. TL;DR: Take care of yourself. Take care of others. Buy BTC.
I need BTC to spiral a little more. I'm close to breaking even and that makes me a little worried.
BTC and ETH are probably the safest choice,but nothing is guaranteed in crypto, especially over a 20 years timeframe
Well there is a system, too bad the casino will ban u. As for taxes, would u not make extra money if it meant u have to pay extra taxes? Is that the reason you’re holding ur BTC? If there was no CGT what would be your strategy?
