time to start averaging down your BTC purchase price. As for alts, cutting loss would be ideal.

RetiredAvocado

>with the trade off of the bitcoin being custodied by a federation of entities that should generally want bitcoin to succeed. This whole "other entities" thing is not cool. Trust me bro except it's 15. >(L-BTC) can also be redeemed for real on chain bitcoin at any moment. Hmm, no, no it can't. Only the 15 bros can do that. What you can do is trade your tokens for BTC wherever such market exists, but you cannot peg-out unless you're one of the bros. Can just secure your on chain btc with hardware, and get on lightning if/when needed, bypassing all this liquid extra steps trust 15 bros stuff.

LloydBro

Ahh yes. I'll buy that house for 3 BTC.... what do you mean you don't have a crypto wallet?

Lonely_Platform7702

You just said 4x from cycle lows. This is simply not true and I just stated that it was wasnt. There is no need to change the goalpost after getting disproven. IDC about complaining about this cycle. I made 4x gains on BTC this time and am happy with how this cycle went.

Plenty_Dog_5684

Even as orange pilled I am, don’t put all your investments into bitcoin. I do 50% Bitcoin (BTC), 40% SP500 and 10% shitcoins and prediction markets

General-Success-2968

Same here, watching my random altcoin picks get absolutely demolished while my "boring" BTC stack just kept chugging along was humbling af Definitely sticking more to the big two next year, maybe sprinkle in some SOL but done chasing moonshots that turn into rugpulls

DistributionMoist800

If the Fed stays neutral, BTC will notr move one way or another

Supermanass

People commenting on posts like these: OP share a screenshot of their 0.1 “Way to go keep stacking” OP shares a screenshot of 1.0BTC or more “You idiot, there goes your inbox. Don’t reply to DMs.” Congratulations OP. You rock 🤘🏼. Now have the discipline to have diamond hands.

lurninandlurkin

Buy your cold wallet before buying any BTC, there isn't an arbitrary level, consider it cheap insurance. What isn't worth it today may be well worth it tomorrow.

IssaKiller21

Technical breakdowns for BTC and ETH levels are useful if you are actively trading because they give context to support and resistance and help you decide where entries and exits might make sense. Many people combine that analysis with volume and trend indicators so they do not rely on any single signal. At the same time I also think about ways to participate in the blockchain space that are tied to real world value and not only to technical patterns and price moves. Platforms like Fractionvest io offer tokenized fractional ownership in real world assets such as property or energy projects which gives a different type of exposure that connects digital innovation with tangible economic value.

Hitechakias

I didn't understand shit though I think I understand BTC.

MalsKippetje

That would mean a ~11.6% CAGR, muuuch too low. A conservative (for BTC) CAGR of 20-30% results in $5000 to $13.700 of profits

Ferdo306

BTC has always been volatile. And BTC futures and options exist since 2017-2018

33NoBody33

And what are they gonna do shut down BTC lol

LambertIsMyName

BTC/ETH up 0.1% on the 1H we made it boys, santa rally is here. 

youwin10

It's gonna go down, probably by a lot, as we're still relatively early in the bear market. Probably we're not gonna see new ATHs if we don't first reach at least a $50k-60k BTC (maybe even lower). At this point make sure not to sell and probably buy more as the price gets lower to DCA. In a few years you can sell for a nice profit before the next bear.

Strict-Examination82

Please BTC dip lower 👹💫

tldr; Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of Truth Social, moved approximately 2,000 Bitcoin worth $174 million across multiple wallets, with $12 million reaching Coinbase Prime Custody. This comes after the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 11,542 BTC, valued at over $1 billion. The move appears to be a routine reallocation rather than a sale. The timing coincides with Trump Media's $6 billion merger plans with TAE Technologies, expected to finalize in mid-2026. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

How do you have your gold stored? In bullion? In coins? Tell me... how would you go about using a gold bar for a purchase... or using a coin currently worth $4,500+ for groceries. You said it is real money, but I'm seeing a big issue trying to use it as a lucrative asset. BTC on the other hand allows for simple transactions, it's just a shame it's not accepted everywhere as tender. There are several countries trying it out though and it's been working well, from what I have read.

Confident_Comfort979

I’d say if you’re looking to hold at least $1,000 worth of BTC for at least a full cycle (4 years), you’re better off with a hard wallet. I use ledger but you are more prone to phishing with their data leaks. Blockstream Jade was also highly suggested on this subreddit around a year ago when I was asking which cold wallets to get, but I’m not sure how relevant those are today. Did some test transactions after a year and everything went smoothly. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST.

You-DiedSouls

I think your paragraph structure says a lot... To have bad English is totally fine. Second language? Sure! I can do my best. But who doesn’t use any punctuation at all? Whole paragraph, only one period at the end. I can’t reasonably reply to that because I can’t clearly understand it. One thing I get is BTC is 15 years old and gold is 5000 years old. What kind of point is that? Let’s teleport back in time to when gold was just starting to be used as a store of wealth and/or medium of exchange. Your thought process at the time would be “gold is 15 years old but dirt is 5000 years old!” Dirt is clearly the best asset because it’s the oldest. Problem solved.

Skeewampus

Whales yes, but the volatility that comes from MSTR, etfs , options on all the things, and futures is new. It has changed the game. BTC and all the things now based on it exist simply to trade.

fenvix12

Even if you’re bullish on BTC, spreading risk still matters. I’m on the spots u/Dieinure reviewed, BTC runs smooth there, but I usually switch between a few different currencies instead of riding just one

cruxtone

It's helpful to remind myself that I've always thought BTC was expensive when I bought it. I thought it was expensive at $17k and bought anyway. I thought it was really expensive at $30k and bought anyway. When it hit $60k, I was buying way too expensive BTC. At $80k, the price had never been higher but I bought BTC. Breaking $100k and buying!? Yup. Buying BTC at $120k was expensive. BTC is an ego test. You don't buy because of the value today. You buy for the value 10, 20, and 30+ years from now. You also don't let your emotions dictate when you buy. There will come a day when you will be wishing you could buy $88k BTC again. There will come a day when $120k feels cheap.

xte2

When you have 0.01% of the market price of a cold wallet in BTC.

wtfamidoingngoing

Don't do it... Far better investments out there than BTC at your age.

BoringPrinciple2542

You think a highly volatile asset with extreme security issues affection ~10% of the total supply is a perfect store of value? That’s silly. BTC is not a store of value but rather a speculative asset whose price is driven by people buying/selling in the hopes of profit. When the hype fades the price will wither as well. It solves no problem that doesn’t already have other simpler solutions. Blockchain tech is here to stay but will likely be largely used for record keeping not value storage. Make your money but don’t let the narrative blind you.

isotope4249

The picture is of one person buying BTC at $30k and the other at $114k.

Kyleb851

To be fair, if people invested, say, 1/3 of their portfolio instead of all in BTC 10 years ago, they’d probably be just as happy, put their decision in the “best ever” category, all while having significantly improved their risk management.

lillpoo

Extreme calls like this always make me pause and breathe. Best Wallet gave me a calm place to view BTC, which helped me ignore the noise. In my experience, steady tools make it easier to resist emotional swings and stick to personal comfort levels.

tootapple

Just because one hasn’t supplanted BTC doesn’t mean there won’t be one to do so. That’s a logical fallacy.

Alfador8

>Yes but anyone can create another version of a hard cap supply.  Yes. Many have tried. The difference is that Bitcoin is decentralized. Decentralization isn't something you can program in. It's a physical process in the real world. Bitcoin had the advantage of being the first mover and had natural, grassroots decentralization as a result. This process is very difficult to replicate without a centralized entity behind it, thus making the project inherently centralized. Bitcoin's decentralization is a critical component of its value proposition.  >BTC will be broken by quantum computing. And a new form of digital currency will need to exist. Bitcoin will be updated to fix the vulnerability. One proposition for how to do so is [BIP360](https://bip360.org/).  >So many BTC people said gold is dead.  And so many gold people are saying BTC is dead. Neither were right. 

WALLY_5000

How many BTC ads are there?

Over-Ad-7631

I wanted a simple way to store BTC without clutter. Best Wallet was simpler for me, clean screens and fewer steps, which helped me focus on writing things down and logging out calmly each time.

frecklie

Sure but it also would have been entirely the wrong choice for the last 12 months. A diverse portfolio in 2025 way way outperformed BTC. 

astroaxolotl720

Seems like normal BTC behavior to me lol. Gold and silver go up and down too. BTC has just been through some major changes and a big whatever is happening right now lol. But yeah it’s probably toast lol /s

frecklie

This is correct. BTC should be less than 10% of your holdings

tootapple

Yes but anyone can create another version of a hard cap supply. It’s like labubus in a way. It’s the hot thing. But fads fade. So many BTC people said gold is dead. Well, doesn’t seem to be the case. And you must have missed my comment on tech progression… BTC will be broken by quantum computing. And a new form of digital currency will need to exist.

gihkal

So much for a perfectly balanced technology that has deviated from its design to such a point that it can't do what it was originally designed for. Meanwhile Doge is more efficient than BTC. That's pathetic.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; New research reveals that 83% of tokens launched on centralized exchanges (CEXs) in 2025 are trading below their listing price, indicating a challenging year for the crypto market. Gate.io leads in relative token performance with 18% of tokens above their listing price, while Binance and Crypto.com show the lowest retention rates. The overall market, led by Bitcoin, has faced significant volatility, with BTC down nearly 8% year-to-date. Analysts suggest the bear market may persist into 2026, with Bitcoin struggling to sustain upward momentum. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Ill_Swimming_8296

True but you're forgetting about taxes and realtor fees when you sell that million dollar house - you'd probably walk away with like 850k after everything. Still better than 4 BTC at current prices but the gap isn't as big as it looks

CryptoBullishX

J-Powell looks like he’s trying to find where he dropped the 'soft landing' everyone keeps talking about. Meanwhile, BTC is just chilling, producing block after block.

RBSNIP

For me, there is no small amount for BTC, just a minimum to cover transaction fees, but I bought my first cold wallet when my wallet was at $1000 and since then I send any amount.

Awkward_Potential_

He raped a baby to death. He's a genuinely horrible person. I would never own anything he's associated with. The fact that he owns a de facto US Dollar money printer is beyond scary. He will kill the dollar. Buy BTC, gold and silver. You'll need it when the dust is settling after they collapse the dollar and by extension, the US.

Crypto-Voice-Pro

There’s no fixed number, it’s more about risk tolerance. If losing that BTC would really hurt you, it’s probably time for a hardware wallet. Many people move to cold storage once it’s more than they’re comfortable keeping on a phone or browser.

ScandicVoyager

Historical BTC enters bear market after ATH, you might want to wait longer than a year. Not saying BTC will do as it always have but don't get surprised if it does.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

BTC doesn't have to "solve something". Its use case is being a non physical store of value asset. And it has the perfect characteristics for said use case. There will never be any crypto that will solve some big problem, that's wishful thinking from 10-15 years ago. A handful of them, Ethereum, Monero and stablecoins might have some legit use case at most.

sniperr777

2 pizzas with just 10k worth of BTC, today that would be $870 000 000. Today he could have had around 43 million pizzas , some crazy figures to believe in

BoringPrinciple2542

Negative. Bitcoin is a speculative asset not a store of value. That narrative is simply a cope to distract from the fact the emperor has no clothes. It will take a few to several years but do not be shocked when BTC goes the way of Blockbusters.

tootapple

I don’t think losing access is what makes it superior. It never needed them in the first place. We still have places around that aren’t connected to the internet…and by the time everywhere is, we can already transfer fiat currency digitally. Well that’s what makes a market. I’m happy for those that have made incredible money off BTC but it’s just not something I’d ever want to get into at this point. I do believe it will go the way of the monkey nft. If it survives for even 50 more years, I’ll be surprised.

Alfador8

>Gold is superior to BTC because you don’t need a computer or digital device to use it This is a fair argument if you expect us to lose access to those technologies. Bitcoin is a poor choice for doomsday scenarios. I don't believe we will lose access to those technologies, personally, but if we do I'm hedged with bullets and applicable skills. I don't believe gold will be very useful in this post-society hypothetical either.  > It also isn’t necessarily tracked thru exchanges or records.  Neither is bitcoin, necessarily. It's trivial to buy it non-kyc using something like Bisq or RoboSats. This just isn't discussed much here because the prevailing mentality is Number Go Up not Freedom Go Up. >Gold is also decentralized, and has no other real precious metals competitor. BTC has too much competition and is losing the battle as technology progresses. Agree with the first sentence, disagree that it doesn't also apply to Bitcoin. I've been hearing about all the new technology that will replace Bitcoin for a decade now. All have failed. None are even trying to replace Bitcoin at this point. They're all trying to succeed on a different axis. Bitcoin isn't going anywhere, and as it continues to succeed its Lindy effect will increase, further cementing its dominance. I've been watching this happen for 10 years and I'm more confident than ever that I'm right. 

Teresa_Paterson

same. The less you stare at candles, the more BTC mysteriously accumulates

gihkal

Core would exile Satoshi if they returned. That's enough for me to see what's going on with BTC. I'm happy with the valuation and everything. But I got involved for a world wide p2p currency transfer for the world's masses. Not a currency that's less efficient than visa.

northcasewhite

In this thread, we are comparing to silver not BTC.

justcurious3287

BTC is mandatory, IMO. BTC is the GOAT.

tootapple

I never said it was. Gold is superior to BTC because you don’t need a computer or digital device to use it. It also isn’t necessarily tracked thru exchanges or records. Gold is also decentralized, and has no other real precious metals competitor. BTC has too much competition and is losing the battle as technology progresses. The reason for BTC and its success, will eventually be its demise.

Easy-Reporter4685

Upcycled your shit gift, your brother should take the BTC lol

wsdmrtst

Feel fine! Happy I have BTC. When it goes down, I buy extra

tootapple

People’s impatience isn’t the selling point for BTC. It’s the slowest blockchain there is. Gold isn’t going anywhere and it’s existed far longer than BTC has even been thought of. It’s why central banks are buying it, and Michael Saylor is buying BTC…lol

Badmoodsbear

You buy spot BTC in a wallet or you can buy iBit. You can buy physical gold and silver you can buy GLD/SLV. What's there to think about lol?

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A wallet linked to Aleksey Bilyuchenko, accused of hacking the Mt. Gox crypto exchange, has quietly sold 2,300 Bitcoin over a month, according to Arkham Intelligence. The entity deposited another 1,300 BTC to unknown exchanges in the past week and still holds 4,100 BTC worth $360 million. The current controller of the funds remains unknown, and the transactions suggest a controlled liquidation rather than abrupt sales. Bilyuchenko was detained in Russia, raising questions about who is managing the assets. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Important_Steak_5955

If you have more than the cost of a hardware wallet in BTC, particularly if you're not going to use the BTC in the near term, I'd get one now.

andys811

Yeah that's not guaranteed it was just an example which is why I said if, there's no contradiction, and if you believe BTC is the winner rn it's a blessing to be diversified, my precious metals and Index ETFs have done a lot better ytd

Albert14Pounds

ROTH IRA. ROTH IRA!!! As soon as you have taxable income put as much money as you can stomach into a ROTH IRA and invest it in something not dumb. BTC ETFs would be an option. Regardless of whether you buy Bitcoin or whatever, I can't stress enough how much your future self will thank you for socking away money that's going to grow TAX FREE for ~40+ years. Literally if I could travel back in time and tell my 18yo self one piece of advice, this would be on the short list not far behind "but as much Bitcoin as you can". Read up on IRAs in general. In a ROTH IRA you pay the tax up front but then never pay tax on the gains. And I like a traditional IRA and 401k, the money CAN be accessed before retirement if needed because you're always allowed to withdraw your principal (the amount you've put into it) prior to retirement without penalty or tax. You just can't withdraw any gains, e.g. more than you've contributed. I think this is important for young investors to know because it makes it easier knowing you can use that money if you need it and it's not gone until retirement.

slash_networkboy

Personally I would strongly suggest OP do a Roth IRA with any earned income. May have to wait till they're 18, not sure... but anything they \*earn\* can go into an IRA and as young as they are if they park it in a good market fund like VOO it'll have a chance to go up about 16x before they're retirement age, and will come out tax free. (on average returns one doubles their holdings every 7-10 years, OP would have at least 4 such doublings before they were retired). Of course I think the unearned income (christmas money etc.) could fund the BTC side of their savings.

BurningBronco

Gold Silver S&P500/NDX and BTC

RangeBrilliant7526

So true. The guy gets a lot of hate but he said at that point those BTC were worthless, so he actually got two pizzas for free. Big brain move

Jenny_Adamsll

Same reaction. My parents are from a country that did a soft version of that (capital controls + devaluation). Once I understood that BTC in my own wallet can’t be frozen with one midnight fax, it finally clicked.

cpt_charisma

1 kWh = 1.341 HP Therefore, 1BTC = 671,000 HP. That's a lot of horse power. Strangely, 1 BTC only buys like 20 horses.

no1particulr

Yep, because people that made sooo much money have nothing better to do than comment on reddit threads. I am trully happy that you have killed it…im assuming your retired and living off your BTC investment?

UnitedStatesAirFurs

We only have about 15 years of history on BTC, but that's almost universally gone upwards in value over time. We do have a couple hundred years of history for the USD that has shown it only goes down in value though. Foolproof? Perhaps not. But the odds seem pretty skewed in crypto's favor.

andys811

That's rebalancing if you sell the winners, that's not what being suggested, and buying Gold, Silver, REITs, Index ETFs, maybe some single stocks, they aren't losers 🤦‍♂️ you can be both concentrated and still diversified for example you could allocate 60% in BTC and 40% split across other investments, just because you're allocating that doesn't mean if BTC rises to 90% of your portfolio then you have to suddenly cut it down to 60% you can just keep it how it is while continuing to add 60% of your DCA to it

VariatCA

All I'm really hoping for is that BTC doesn't suddenly do anything in the next two days that detracts from the holiday festivities. With it being a short day for the stock exchange today closing at 1pm EST, and being closed tomorrow, hopefully that's the case. (Though I wouldn't complain if I woke up tomorrow to see Santa left some green candles in my stocking)

La_Cohiba

As soon as BTC went mainstream with ETF's, it was done. Sold it at 110k and very happy. When my mom started to buy BTC at 70...sure sign of demise. Liquidated on the boomers. At least they have their over priced real estate still

TripsterX

If im talking based on my experience, I think once I hot about $14k USD invested is when I really considered it, but thats only because i didnt really know they were a thing until then. Realistically, if you hold ANY BTC that you want to hold long term, you cant go wrong. Atleast then you do have a safe place to store. But I think if youre after a figure, once you hold about 1k+ in BTC, its going to be a smart buy regardless. Spending a little extra money to help protect your stack us always going to be smart :)

Dry-Glove2775

I have 80% VT 20% BTC its simple , if you buy VT you are diversified you don’t need anything else so I just buy bitcoin cuz I am young

trillionSdollarstech

Come on! The outflows of the BTC ETFs are worse.

FilmDazzling4703

It’s not about being an investment pro. It’s about understanding humans and the current state of the world. If you understand why our money and economy are broken, you will understand why the blockchain is an incredible technology. A truly decentralized, peer to peer cash system is absolutely essential imo to fixing the economy. In just a few thousand days BTC went from basically nothing to one of the top 10 currencies world wide. Although the community of people using it like this is relatively small right now (~200k) it is a growing phenomenon and will only keep maturing into that role imo. If BTC doesn’t become the p2p cash system we are hoping for, another crypto will. But BTC is the OG and will be relevant as long as crypto is. imo BTC is still the best investment opportunity for new investors out there. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different but I am in a position to feel comfortable making this bet.

Many still are deluded about it. You only have to look on their Telegram group.. where just because they come up with a new name for the next upgrade..like Supernova that will deliver less than 1 nanosecond of something finality… it’s like that will make a difference.. it won’t… It’s a dead project…99.99% all crypto projects will die out. BTC, ETH & a few others will survive… but yep.. EGLD holders amongst the most deluded.. SOL came out on top.. & even that is struggling in this market.

AutoModerator

Post is by: 007TheLostOne and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pupuvy/should_i_still_stay_in_crypto/ Hello all, bear with me this is going to be long, I hold ETH, BTC, and SOL. There are a few questions that have been bothering me for a while in crypto. Recently I have lowered my bullish stance on crypto and this is not due to recent market sentiment but due to my own deep analysis. 1. We have been seeing massive bullish news for crypto this year with institutions, legislation and governments but yet that doesnt not reflect on the price action of these assets. Why is that? 2. Liquidity is massively moving away from crypto and into other sectors like AI especially retail investors. We have even seen bitcoin miners moving that way and going towards AI infrastructure needs instead, IREN is a big example of this recently. Why? 3. Institutional investment, I know I said this is bullish but one thing all institutions dont like is volatility. Those days of crazy periods of volatle gains and losses seem to be over specifically speaking on Bitcoin, if you look at the charts there have actually been a few periods this year where Bitcoin was less volatile then the SP500, I think with greater institutional investment this trend will increase. The downside of this will be lower CAGR, so if its CAGR drops then why should I stay invested into it? When there are other sectors that are massively outperforming and more likely will in the future also? 4. Last question, this is a big one for me. But I do believe crypto tech is the future, however in saying that, you dont need to buy the underlying asset to use its tech. Ethereum is a big example of this, its usage is at record high but yet its price is negative for the year, the layer 2 protocol is being used massively, but L2 compression means less ETH used per transaction, the only time ETH is required is a bit for settlement at the base layer, so its tech is being used but its not reflected on the price. Also another crypto I used to be in chainlink, its the most adopted crypto infrastructure by legitimate organizations like the SWIFT banking system yet its down 50%, again just because institutions are using its tech, you dont need to buy the actual crypto. Now the big one, bitcoin, it got sold to us as "digital gold", doesnt seem to be that way, governments and institutions are flocking to gold and silver for monetary debasement instead of bitcoin, gold and silver are at record high and not showing signs of slowing down, bitcoin isnt special it requires liquidity just like any other asset. The projected CAGR on the big crypto assets has fallen, with estimates being from CAGR 8% to 15%, ironically this year its in the negatives. So in saying all of this, I'm at a dillema because I'm seeing the broader market vastly outperform crypto especially specific sectors like AI, space, energy. So I ask myself this question if the CAGR stays between that range then why should I stay invested in these assets when there are better opportunities for future gains outside of crypto? I'm open to all discussion. Tell me what you agree or don't agree with, I'm a very open minded guy. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Did people actually think the infinite money machine was a thing? Nobody is ever going from rags to riches with BTC again. Except maybe a hacker.

No one ever talks about the pizza place. Did they keep the BTC? did they sell it right away for cash?

DoritoZNJ

I see future benefit for Bitcoin as a currency which you can bring with you in times of war or natural disasters. You can take the first plane, car, bus, train boat whatever and never look back. The power of Bitcoin is not the price but the way you can use it and store the value of your hard earned money. For the first time YOU are in charge of your money, not a bank or institution. People go for the price almost always but even if BTC goes to 1$ the value that gives, the freedom it can't be measured with any amount of money.

Important-Minimum777

This guy was one of the people to mine with GPUs. Satoshi himself emailed him to spend some of his BTC. He's fine

sean_cleric

Maybe because he spent the value of a pizza at the time but now it's lots of money in Bitcoin but I'm sure that guy had thousands more coins anyway, so it's only people looking back thinks he's spent his last 10 thousand BTC on pizza lol I'm sure he's fine and no regrets so he says

Arijan101

BTC has completely failed all of the objectives it was originally created for, it was supposed to be a decentralized, peer to peer payment system and it was transformed into a centralized ponzi scheme. Also the entire Blockchain technology is basically useless in the real world, it's basically a solution in search of a problem. No company or government uses it, and never will. DeFi can't compete with regular finance because the fees are too high and waiting times are too long, not to mention that you risk losing everything each time you transact, which is an unacceptable level of risk. The only thing keeping this entire market afloat is hype based on the hope of getting rich quick.

gihkal

Where in the white paper did it mention BTC being a store of value?

GerbiJosh
