BTC

Not always. I'm not giving up my wife and life now for time in a different life. I'll take the 10 BTC and live happily now.

Frosty-Permission-14

Hey braindead. You said that nothing saylor does has an impact on price. Now use your 10 operating brain cells and think about how he is pushing adoption and other treasury companies. Even if his BTC purchases have no direct impact on price, his action and his commercial for BTC does have it. But you little fellow can't comprehend, I see that. No sense to speak to a braindead

xcommon

I get this is going to get panned, but I'd like to add some food for thought: $1MM BTC meant parity between pennies and satoshis. Psychologically, the average person would be much more likely to adopt if/when they can think in terms of satoshis, and if people can think of 100 sats as being roughly $1, there will be a wave of mainstream adoption. Or maybe not, what the fuck do I know.

First, choose a reputable exchange. Complete the KYC process completely and be prepared to justify the origin of the $50K if needed (if you can't justify it or if your justification is "come from a friend" don't do it). Then, transfer the funds to the exchange (start with a small test transfer), and then exchange the dollars for BTC. Don't forget to research self-custody options, in ideal you use exchange only to do your exchange and then transfer to your own wallet. NB, $50K is a significant amount for an individual, but on the scale of exchanges it's not much, not enough to affect the price. Contacting your exchange's customer service might save you a few dollars in fees.

Post is by: TowelNo234 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pzw77n/the_santa_rally_this_seasonal_phenomenon_can/ There's a lot of talk about the "Santa Rally" right now this little end-of-year boost that stocks often get. I thought it'd be worth discussing here, since it can have an indirect impact on crypto like $BTC or $ETH. Basically, the Santa Rally covers the last 5 trading days of December + the first 2 of January. Historically (since 1950), it's the most bullish 7-day stretch for the S&P 500: up \~77% of the time, with an average gain of \~1.26%. It's the period with the highest win rate in the entire calendar. Why is it interesting this year? The last two years didn't really have a Santa Rally, and historically, it's never missed 3 years in a row. With cooling CPI and expectations of Fed cuts, the macro conditions look pretty favorable for some year-end momentum. The good sides : If the rally happens in stocks, it often creates a "risk-on" effect that spills over to cryptowe saw it in 2023 and 2024 with BTC runs after Christmas. Low volume (holidays) can amplify upward moves if sentiment is positive. The risks : It's just historical stats, not a guarantee. If the market starts weak end-December (say Dec 27-28), the rally could skip entirely. And crypto is more volatile: a mild stock rally might give a crypto pump, but a sell-off could hurt even more.Anyway, it's a fun seasonal thing to watch, especially if we're looking for a little boost before 2026. What do you think? Are you expecting a crypto Santa Rally this year (like BTC/ETH up after Christmas)? Or staying cautious because it's just seasonality?

Ya, BTC is down from ATH but it's not much different from what it was 5 years ago. Chainlink has grown 100x in terms of tech and adoption but the price action is worse than BTC.

indomitus1

That's not a large BTC purchase. Less than 1 coin

bin-noddin

Just getting BTC without getting attention from the IRS at the very least is a huge complication anymore if you even have the fortune to buy that much at once then it's over ten grand so it falls under the guidelines of laundering/errorism watch guides making it a tracked asset for the entirety of ownership both on exchange and off and then of course we can even take it back to Snowden if ya wanna but just make sure that if it's over 10 grand in one whack you know the implications owning the asset

AZLVentures

BTC!!!

rtublin

Are you talking about $50k or 50k BTC?

djmackphunk

It's close. Mining is measured in hashes per second. Each hash is basically a random number, and right now the entire network is generating 1,135,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes per second. What everybody is trying to do is generate a hash with a certain number of leading zeroes, so instead of thinking of it as guessing a specific number, think of it as generating random numbers like 0.837294930384899374949373749483762773 over and over and when it just happens to generate a number lower than 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 it creates a new block on the network and is awarded 3.25 BTC. Note that these numbers are probably not even close to the actual difficulty but you get the idea.

Amber_Sam

>I have to keep holding a lot of altcoins that dropped over the last few weeks, but I’m seeing many of them near all-time lows and I’m tempted to buy more. Many of them will never recover. I would rather convert them to BTC than buy more of the garbage.

CryptoBasicBrent

I mean Chainlink is adopted, works, and had some great gains. It's just down from its ATH but...so is BTC?

jumper33

My prediction is that BTC will be lower than $80k by the end of December 2026

Fit-Credit-7970

Blue pill, easily. Going back to 2010 with today’s knowledge isn’t just about Bitcoin, it’s timing, mistakes avoided, and compounding everything way beyond 10 BTC. Anyone picking red is underestimating how powerful hindsight actually is.

Pleasant-Ambition-41

I just topped up some more BTC with ChainATM :)

RiceMofo

With big institutions adapting BTC I don’t see big volatility either way. Exchanges are too busy wiping longs and shorts

To-do-so

Xrp, vgx, Linear, Wing, Ilv, fio, trump, self, lumia, grt, enj, algorand, dash, flow, atom, telecoin, sushi, bat, matic, theta, cake, avalanche, uniswap and XVS. Took a loss on all of those, still up a long way on others, have been in it since 2020. If I’d just DCA in BTC rather than Alts I’d be way better off.

SevereArrivals13

Set up another BTC, BNB and MOON buy wall. Happy New Year!

r_xy

if you want as much BTC as possible, wait for MSTR to collapse and have to sell off theirs. It will be a lot cheaper then.

Relative_Nail9602

!no financial advice! Just Buy and hold. Every day, week, month… and dont gamble because no one knows anything. Dont leverage, dont go for long or shorts. Never heard someone lost money that hold it for at least 4 years. Maybe its my hopium but there are only 2 things that are bad about btc: 1. why didnt i buy it earlier. 2. why did i sell it so early. You dont need any other crypto. Except you want try trading for some +% of money to put it in your btc stacks. I believe in btc. More than i believe in my FIAT, which is CHF. And CHF isnt bad at all. I am very sure that our current financial system will collapse. it happened roughly every 100 years. Very important: set up a cold wallet. Don't tell anyone how much BTC you have. And don't trust anyone with your passwords, seed phrases, or anything else. You'll probably receive some DMs. Trust no one! Sorry for my broken english. I translated it in my head from german to english. Lol

heinzmoleman

I think the 4 year cycle is broken and BTC will hit another ATH in 2026. Previously after peaking BTC would crash 80%+ because there was no structural bid to catch it. That has changed with institutional capital who unlike retail traders will not panic sell. Strategy for example views BTC as a balance sheet asset. This in turn creates a higher floor, where I think a deep multi year crypto winter is replaced by a shorter shallower consolidation period. If you are a fan of the M2 theory you will be pleased to know that 2025 saw liquidity tightening and the dragging of assets down. QT will hopefully end and the proposed rate cuts will continue to flow liquidity back into "risk assets" Lastly, I do believe we haven't truly witnessed the effects of the supply shock, exchange reserves are at a multi year low. Big players keep buying up large chunks of BTC and the sell side pressure is exhausted.

LuckyBlaBla

BTC was a 1$ or under at that time. It would have been only a few pesos to get one. Unless you were not working and too young, it would have been very possible.

spicytomatopasteanon

Eh, I'd say BTC > PMs, but not because of validity. The Sigma takes care of that. Set it on the machine and it tells you what the metal is and what the content is. What I'm finding out is now that silver has shot off, local coin shops are buying at some shittttty prices. For instance, normal times, they may buy your silver for $2 back of spot, meaning two dollars less than the spot price. Right now, with the craziness, LCS's are talking about -$10 to -$15 back of spot. Fuck that! The spread to sell my BTC is like 0.10%.

WhatTheHeliosphere

I'd sell all of that. It's all useless. Don't do your crypto research from tiktok or YouTube. Also.. Do not invest in anything if you've never used it experienced it. Polkadot never worked. It just fed off of the hype of gavin being an Eth dev Sell all, harvest the tax loss... Buy BTC.

xte2

Yes Tether, through its smart contracts, reserves the right to freeze funds "upon government request" which you can't verify if it's legitimate anyway. And they are a reality in El Salvador, despite its agreements with the US. It's a reality that refuses conversion to dollars for amounts under $100k. If you have less and want to liquidate, you can only sell to third parties, not to them. Note that they also buy BTC.

Mutchmore

Cause why would you want LTC when BTC is the same thing. It doesn't bring anything to the space.

No_Giraffe_4647

This is used mainly as a hedge against inflation tool and according to last economic stats and outlook it makes sense to store BTC against currency devaluation on next few years

heinzmoleman

Nobody has any idea what is going to happen. The traditional BTC cycle is broken. Best strategy is to continue to DCA. Stay away from anything that isn't BTC. They're all shitcoins

locorico32

Damn I don't wanna go back to high school freshmen naa give me the 10BTC

BTC

lolwerd

2010 with the knowledge I have right now, get sober sooner, get clarity, HODL 1000 BTC with the rest of us long, and never mine / never build out 25 MW of mining only to get wrecked by larger players, and go outside more during that 15 year stretch ;)

Easik

Well, you have to trust the mint that created it and then test it. You'll pay a premium on spot on both sides (buy/sell) with both assets. You'll have to protect your metal just as much as the seed phrase, so various different methods involving safes. I think this rally highlights that volatility isn't the actual problem with any of these instruments being a store of value. BTC just happens to be way more liquid than precious metals, so it is a bit more sensitive to liquidity shocks. BTC being flat/down for 2025 doesn't even bother because I think the current situation reinforces it's value.

ComaKaho

Even if we believe in it, we don't want to buy it so that the price doesn't go up and they manage to get away with the money. When they have lost everything and have to sell their BTC, that's when we should buy. Let their hopes fly away, and when they give up, that's when you have to put money in to disgust them even more.

DOP4-Girona

Crypto Winter til BTC starts to creep up in October 2026.

jonny_snowy

Catches: * Rewards are in crypto, so if you want cash you'll pay a small fee to sell * If crypto tanks, your rewards tank with it * Credit limit can be low to start * Some people report slow credit restoration after paying off the balance Reasons to get it anyway: * 4% on gas/EV/transit, 3% dining, 2% groceries is hard to beat for no annual fee * If you believe in BTC long-term, you're basically auto-DCAing with every purchase * No hoops to jump through, rewards just stack I switched from Chase Sapphire Reserve because I couldn't justify $550/yr anymore. For me the math works out better even with the crypto volatility. (as of December 2025, 55bpz2kdp gets you $50 free BTC if you sign up)

PutAdministrative809

I think you’re misunderstanding my point. I’m not saying BTC.D is defined by BTC moving first, I’m saying the move we saw was BTC holding steady/upticking while risk was trimmed from alt baskets. BTC dominance is just a ratio (BTC mcap ÷ total mcap). It can rise from alts dropping, BTC rising, or both. In this case it was a portfolio rotation: funds cut beta (alts) while BTC acted as the reserve asset, which mechanically pushes dominance higher. I wasn’t claiming a causal law...just describing the market structure behind that specific flush.

snek-jazz

That's incorrect. There are 343,641,000 shares outstanding, and MSTR own 672,497 btc. Divide total btc by total shares to get bitcoin per share and it's: 0.0019569750 How much is that BTC per share worth? well multiple it by the 88k price and you get... *drumroll* ... $173

investingtruth

You're right that it's not either/or. Bitcoin functions more as a credibility check than a replacement. The threat isn't that it kills the dollar. It's that it makes bad monetary policy more expensive by giving capital a clear exit. Stablecoins are the bigger story for dollar dominance. They're extending dollar usage into markets the traditional banking system can't reach efficiently. That's actual demand for dollars, not competition. The $2T projection might be aggressive, but the direction is right. Bitcoin's role is less about spreading dollar use and more about creating a feedback mechanism. When confidence in fiat policy weakens, BTC and gold absorb flows. That makes monetary mismanagement visible faster, which theoretically enforces discipline. Whether policymakers actually respond to that signal is a different question lol

Blueberry_Dependent

This is just air. Nobody know what will happen and all the charts are in a way useless. Things that can manipulate the price are unpredictable. There could be a huge bank deal where you can deposit BTC or something which nobody knows except a few internal people then price can go parabolic. On the other hand there could be some mass selling from exchanged in order to bring panic and drop the price which again you don't know. Chart could look positive and uptrending and then can go red candle in a second 

xte2

Uhm, do you see anyone selling non-seizable BTC via a smart-contract that the issuer can freeze at will and whose convertibility outside the general market is only if you bring at least 100k, and theoretically, cry with El Salvador authorities if it not happen?

Important-Nerve-347

Back to 2010 and sell all properties and buy BTC.

PrestondeTipp

I could buy one Bitcoin today for $88,000.  To own the same amount of Bitcoin through MSTR, I would need to purchase 1641 shares. At $156 each, that is *$255,966.* (https://bitbo.io/tools/mstr-btc-calculator/) MSTR would need to triple their current holding of BTC without diluting shares, changing the price of BTC, or incurring new liabilities, to have a Bitcoin yield equal to just buying Bitcoin. Of course, this is not possible as one mechanism impacts another. MSTR investors will never again regain the price levels of 2024.  If you want to benefit from Bitcoin valuations, just buy bitcoin.

QuitYuckingMyYum

Blue Pill! I got sober in 2015 so if I could get sober 5 years earlier and invest in BTC. That would be legendary! Here is the funny part. I made fun of a friend when BTC was worth pennies, so I even knew about it, but drugs and alcohol were more important then.

Blueberry_Dependent

Yes, it will be enough to buy a house in 1 year... I guess that's what most people like to hear. 500$ is nothing and I would say better not buy because you will panic sell when there is a correction. Can you get rich with this amount - 100% No and No. What I would do if I was like you would be to learn more about BTC, get past the price action and actually learn about the usability of it and positives. Then buy a hardware wallet of your choice ao you can actually be your own bank (would be around 70-80$) Then buy the BTC with the rest and each month put a small amount there, 20$,30$,50$ etc. Slowly this will accumulate in a big amount which then can change your life as being more financially secure, buy a car, have a vacation, prepare for a family /newborn etc. 

Green_Ad9723

The entire fiat system is therefore highly inflationary… all in BTC

northcasewhite

RSI going up from the low is a good sign. When RSI is very high then it is a bad sign. What we have right now with BTC is the price going sideways while RSI is going up on the daily chart. This is bullish. Look up RSI divergence. Maybe it's a new concept for you, but a very useful one.

nerdmonkey

Have you tried this yet? Which payment processor did you use? And did you earn BTC rewards from the tax payment?

Crypto-Voice-Pro

As a student, I think the belief part makes sense, but I’d be careful with the “YOLO” framing. BTC is long-term, but life still happens. Even a tiny emergency buffer can save you from selling at the worst time. If 15% is money you truly won’t need for years, stacking slowly and staying consistent is probably the healthiest approach.

Topraman000

The most you would have paid for 10 BTC would have been $3.90 in 2010. I got a feeling you could afford to buy more than that after taking your blue pill…

No_South_9912

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. BTC is a high risk gambling table type of investment. Is this your only investable money? If so, I'd buy other assets such as metals/stock ETFs in addition to BTC.

SBX-Bronx

That’s a hard question because there are too many variables. You can study charts all day, but Bitcoin can pump or dump at any time. You can look at ETF inflows and outflows to get a sense of demand. You can also track whale activity. When large holders move BTC from exchanges to long-term wallets, it usually signals holding. When they move coins onto exchanges, it often means they’re preparing to sell. Then there are the people trying to manipulate sentiment. Some claim Bitcoin is going to $50K to scare others into selling because they’re shorting it and profit if the price drops. On the other side, you have people calling for $150K–$250K. Some believe it genuinely, others want to push the price up so they can exit their positions, and some are simply underwater and hoping for a rally. Price spikes can also come from government policy and liquidity conditions. When governments tighten liquidity, Bitcoin often drops. When money printing increases and liquidity expands, Bitcoin tends to rise. On top of that, institutions and whales hold massive amounts of BTC and can move the market in either direction based on their actions. The safest approach, in my opinion, is to buy gradually when prices are low and hold long term, usually at least four years. Bitcoin can spike over hours, days, or months. You can try to sell during strong rallies for a solid gain, but many people choose to hold through the cycles. That long-term approach has historically been one of the safer strategies. This is just my opinion, and I may be missing other factors like hacks, halvings, or unexpected events, but those matter too.

drdicerchio

Unless you would be at least 13 when you go back to 2010 then the BTC is the option. I see a lot of younger people choose 2010/‘go back to 8y/o’ in various posts like this, but wtf are you going to do as a 6 y/o with the knowledge you have now? You effectively can’t buy anything without your parents consent, you are stripped of all your adult privileges, by the time anything happens AND you have the facilities to act on it it’s likely that you’d have forgotten. Not to mention you are now surrounded by children every day; assuming you are as mature as an adult it would be difficult to have to wait until you were a teen to even attempt to start being intimate again. I also think people SIGNIFICANTLY underestimate how much of our lives are somewhat chance encounters.

NotFunyyAtALL

Welcome to crypto newbie. Now..if you know what BTC is and you have enough reasons to invest in, then just do it and nothing mentioned by you above matters. On the other hand if you are planing to start trade it or even leverage, then you are heading to a whole new teritory. Remember: No one knows shit about fuck here! Be careful!

wkndatbernardus

The older I get, the more I see how the fiat system is ravaging civilization. So, although I enjoy the fantastic performance of BTC, I'm beginning to care more about supporting the revolution against the oppression inherent in the fiat system.

sirbrow

Respect the conviction on BTC since 100k—love the DCA vibe! But as a student, skipping any emergency fund entirely feels risky. Even a small cash buffer (like $500) could save you from selling BTC low in a pinch. Balance the stack with some safety net? 🚀

Frosty-Permission-14

As long as BTC isn't as simple as having a bank account, ETFs are for the masses. Your dessilusional and living in the BTC bubble when you expect that anyone is able to handle crypto today. There are people not able to handle a freaking PC. And don't even start with Smartphones. So break down your expectations and face reality: ETF are the best thing happened to BTC and crypto in a long while, as it creates the path for mass adoption and enables people without a clue about crypto to invest in it. Your "not your keys bot your coins" argument isn't valid here.

SpontaneousDream

Even better when you short against the BTC ratio. Practically free money. LINK/BTC and ETH/BTC are the obvious ones. Supply BTC on Aave, borrow LINK or ETH, dump immediately for more BTC, then repeat.

SpoonPlateAndAFork

That's why I wrote it in quotes. I don't trade BTC. I invest in BTC. Of course in some point in time I will eventually sell. In about 30 years from now. That's almost never :D I seriously believe that BTC will still be here as an asset. And it's value will be much higher that it is today. That's my own view and belief, and that's also why I'm looking at BTC as an investment or rather as an pension savings. Person with the short-term view on BTC will most likely trade it multiple times during that 30 year period. And I'm not going to judge. Not my money, don't care, it's your financial responsibility.

TLDR: River - for HYSA savings paid in BTC and DCA FoldApp- for daily driver general use debit card % back and spot BTC buys , pay bills and get BTC back In depth: A lot of people search and search for the lowest fees which I mean hey that's great but I would say pick something that's easy that you like. Stacking sats even with some fees is stacking sats. Just stack over time and you'll be good. If you don't want the complexity of many amounts than you should do what your comfortable with River: - BTC only - amazing statistics layout - amazing support - one time fee on recurring buy, 0 fees after that ( fee for random spot buys) - low spread - high yield savings account that gives BTC interest. if you want to park some emergency fund - proof of reserves the first of is kind - you can automate buying and withdrawal - 1 free withdrawal per month - up to 100$ in BTC referral Possible cons: - people even myself have had issues with kyc I would recommend getting that cleared before buying. - America only FoldApp: - debit card with BTC back rewards (.25-1.5%) - you can load it with cash or convert BTC to cash when needed if you want to live primarily off BTC - you can pay credit cards with it and get % back - can purchase gift cards at 2-10% back in BTC - can buy sell and transfer BTC only - round up BTC buys - amazing support - 2% BTC rewards credit card coming soon! Waiting list referral BTC raffle - 20k sat referral signup bonus Possible cons: -tiered system with free and paid --- paid tier has highest rewards (100/yr) Paid tier also has 0 fees on buying selling and transferring --- free tier still has solid benefits. buying selling and transferring.

LostMyWasps

Yes, $15,300,000 pesos is more than enough. A modest, comfortable way of life. I dont even make $150,000 a year. And BTC will increase price, so, I'll have more with time. Again, people are ignoring everything else that is a factor in play thinking their own life is the only perspective available.

tldr; Experts predict 2026 could mark a historic crypto bull run due to factors like record public debt, fiat currency depreciation, and clearer regulations. Grayscale anticipates massive institutional adoption, with sovereign funds and family offices allocating 1-5% of portfolios to crypto. Bitcoin, with its capped supply of 21 million units and the mining of its 20 millionth BTC in 2026, is expected to lead the surge. Price forecasts for Bitcoin range from $100,000 to $200,000, with other cryptos like Ethereum and stablecoins also gaining traction. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

uncapchad

see on the top right there, it says *Unfunded* which means there is no Bitcoin. Those Casascius coins are collectors items, part of Bitcoin's early history. Some are still funded - an estimated 38000 Bitcoin are still in some Casascius coins. People collect all sorts of things. These coins, minted between 2011 and 2013 by Mike Caldwell, represent the earliest physical manifestations of Bitcoin and are considered foundational artifacts in the cryptocurrency movement. Their appeal is amplified by the fact that the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) classified the production of funded physical bitcoins as a money transmitter activity, leading to the cessation of minting in 2013 The coins’ physical craftsmanship in materials like brass, silver, and gold, attracts both cryptocurrency enthusiasts and traditional numismatists. An NGC-certified 2012 1,000 BTC Casascius coin, though unfunded, sold for $84,000,

I didn't. I invest in disruptive tech, which is why I hold BTC, NVDA, TSLA, PLTR, etc. Right now in this environment the best way to increase your wealth is to NOT invest the majority in BTC. Later if you decide you want to go all-in you'll be buying a lot more.

Actually I don't bother. As My goal is to stack a bit once a while depend my budget for Long term. Well if go up than just like a " pattern " as you can see from the past history when come near Jan BTC price go up. Dec is low starting from Nov. which seem already show to us again this year.

Serious question: Then what is the point of buying BTC in the first place?

manifestDensity

I standard analytics can only be applied after the fact. The four year cycle is broken. The indicators only matter if you are willing to believe "This move was foreshafowed by X" even though the last time X happened there was no move. The reality is that we all now see the extent to which the game is rigged. Those of us who remain have watched the whales squeeze every last drop from the masses who came flooding in when things started picking up. But those masses are gone. Their wallets emptied. The only way big moves can happen now is if new money comes in. And not institutional money. Without another wave of retail buyers prices are sort of stuck. Who is going to by BTC at 95k if it goes there next week? Not me. Not you. We have seen how easily that just becomes a rinse cycle for the elites. So we all sit and wait. At some point the whales will be forced to part with some of their gains to create a fake run strong enough to draw in fresh money. Until then, all the analytics in the world point to "meh"

I’ve maxed out my 401k with company match, so BTC is my next asset class. I DCA what I can afford to every week which is more than some and less than others. It’s money I don’t plan to need for decades.

This looks operational, not dramatic. BlackRock moving 2,201 BTC to Coinbase Prime means the BTC became available for execution (sell, OTC, rebalance, settle ETF redemptions). It does not automatically mean selling, but it does increase that probability. Given ongoing US spot BTC ETF outflows, the most likely explanation is normal ETF mechanics: liquidity management, portfolio rebalancing, or funding redemptions. This is standard plumbing, not panic. It only turns meaningfully bearish if: • ETF outflows continue for several days and • BTC price fails to absorb supply or breaks key supports. Until then, this is a thermometer of institutional flow, not a sell signal by itself.

Asymmetric upside. BTC can 10x from here. The stock market could do 15% on a good year. Meanwhile, both could go down 50%, that's asymmetric upside.

That’s definitely a thoughtful gift from your dad. I would start by taking the time to learn a little bit more about bitcoin (and money in general) so that you understand why bitcoin was created in the first place. Then I’d learn how to properly use the Bitkey wallet. I’ve never used a Bitkey, and I don’t think I’d personally use one, but it does seem to be relatively secure and keeps things simple for beginners. You may want to eventually move on to something more advanced if you end up acquiring more bitcoin over time, but it seems like it’s definitely fine to start with. One thing I recommend anyone new to bitcoin is to read all 4 parts of [The Bullish Case for Bitcoin](https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-part-1-of-4-94087a70d9e8). It goes over the origins of money and how it evolved over time and also explains some core concepts of Bitcoin really well. I’d also then watch this [video](https://youtu.be/ccKZDNGhK9M) to learn how to set up and use the Bitkey from BTC Sessions on YouTube (he also has lots of good educational content about bitcoin). Start slow and take some time to understand it. $100 is a good starting point, and I’d recommend just holding it for a decade or two at least. Then as you learn more about bitcoin, over time you may want to start accumulating more, but don’t rush into that without learning about it more and security best practices.

Post is by: Purple_Business_3600 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pznaah/whats_your_go_to_book_for_crypto_betting/ I mostly stick to crypto for betting now but it still feels like every option has some annoying tradeoff, slow withdrawals, random limits or stuff that only works smoothly until you actually try to cash out. I’ve been bouncing around trying to see what’s tolerable long term and ended up using a couple different places just to compare mostly just cycling through whatever felt usable week to week. One of them was bracco mostly because BTC and ETH were easy to move in and out but I’m not locked into anything yet. I want to know what other people are using and what’s actually held up over time. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

- Sell everything for FIAT - Don't ever touch ALTS again - Invest only in BTC - Don't bye now, but in the 50-60 range, it might take some time. - Don't dream big about cars/houses etc - Invest in your education/career to be financially able to survive and live your life - Make extra gains from your BTC investment. Going big with ALTS is like betting on some shitty team winning the league, choose your sport. You focus on the odds and you dream what you'll do with the money you'll earn. In reality you don't stand a chance to win anything.

With so many people expecting a crypto winter, there might not be one. We should have learned this from past cases where people expected: * BTC to fall to $1K in 2018. * BTC to fall to $9-12K in 2023. * BTC over $100K in 2021. * A big rally in Q4 2025. * Altseason in 2025. Often when people expect a thing it doesn't happen because they have already positioned themselves to expect it. In today's case perhaps all the people expecting 2026 to be bearish have already sold.

Posts about statistical noise. "*Guys BTC moved bt 25$*" Ok.

You may not make millions but you will open the door to pandoras box. You can be sure that 1 BTC (or any other amount of BTC) is always 1 BTC.

jaron_b

I would love 45% off 100k BTC. I'd legit be so fucking happy to see 50k price.

Tarkedo

I agree with your statement, and that's why I'd choose the 10BTC now. Since 2020 I've met and formed relationships with wonderful people, including my late husband. I honestly would not risk changing any of that time for any amount of money.

ThreeTonChonker

Oh then I guess the price of BTC is in the millions from all the buying these guys are doing, right? Or maybe they’re not nearly as important as the FUD on reddit wants you to believe?

Always a pleasant surprise to wake up and find BTC up a couple percent from last night. Longs vs Shorts are even for the last 4 hours while Bitcoin's up +1k, so this was buying pressure along with some dirty shorts getting liquidated. Looks like a huge green candle around market-open, so hopefully that was ETF's going shopping and logging some positive inflows for a change.

This is black magic will be down to $87k later on. Somebody has put a voodoo on BTC. Magic is when this holds at $90k for longer than a few minutes.
