BTC FEES ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND SLOW don’t fib yourself lo

MrKillerKiller_

Hype and BTC profits are all they need. Metrics, fundamentals, and all the research bullshit DO NOT APPLY. Bro…It’s memes n Fartcoin. Don’t kid yourself trying to make it make sense. Trade the hype and take profit with reckless abandon. Too many people waste time trying to calculate circulating supply, TVL and all that useless time wasting. The last cycle kicked off with Beeple and Elon making interesting fresh mainstream crypto headlines sparking the noob herd. Nothing of the sort has happened…yet.

krose1980

People be carefull with them, I just lost £500, as I transfered cbBTC to apparently BTC address they do not support..hmm such exchange...they asked me for £20 upfornt fee for recovery...let's wait...

>Ok, so what have you done to earn bitcoin? Nothing more than provide liquidity to the people who needed to sell, just like many do with gold. But the world is a better place that liquidity exists to provide off-ramps to fiat. One day who knows, Americans may need that off-ramp and someone else will provide it to me. Every civilization that prints and spirals into debt the way the US has, *always has its fiat get completely destroyed*. The Romans kept diluting Denari with more silver. This failed practice of printing in one form or another has existed forever. Fiats will die and new ones will replace them over and over. The US is spiraling into uncontrollable debt levels with zero public desire to make any hard decisions at all. Everyone refuses to pay a penny more in tax. No one wants cuts. >The amount of electricity consumed makes it a terrible invention in the end. You're right. This is the one major issue with BTC. But I believe this it is not insurmountable and at some point once it's survived like 25-30 years, people finally understand what it is we may fork to PoW if necessary.

Apprehensive-Row5151

The BTC will become part of the estate and ultimately liquidated to pay debts. You could of course commit perjury by leaving it off your asset schedules. So the answer is: most of us don’t want to commit perjury. And of course ruin your credit for a while.

DryMyBottom

I don't live in the US and know nothing about Bank do America, but the financial advisor of my bank did suggest me a lil exposure on BTC, and it was 2 years ago already

redditdegenz

When you have that much BTC you don’t even have to convince your hairline to stick around.

MatterFickle3184

BTC was supposed to be for the people. Too much corruption and manipulation. BTC will go up and USD will go down, but at the end BTC doesn't help the normals.

Patient-Process-2565

Let’s be honest, BTC is not that great an invention.

>Which does because people are buying it. Is that the use case then? There are many use cases. But yes gold is purchased because of the expectation that it will hold its value when fiat is debased. Demand skyrockets in inflationary periods. When inflation is low, its relative performance is terrible sometimes even consistently below inflation. If people stopped *expecting* gold to be valued it would completely collapse if it was just industrial demand. >Bitcoin mining is becoming increasingly expensive as competition for electricity and hardware with AI companies continue. I view this is as irrelevant. Not only because hash rate has been continually rising even with the AI boom (we heard stories of miner pivots early back as 2022). But because like you said, difficulty will adjust until the most efficient miners remain, like always. And if it's too hard it will go down to attract miners that have shifted off. >Your use cases are fairly tiny. And I LIKE that it could be a good use case. Look at the billions that are transferred from host countries back to families in native countries using Western Union. Yes, people want to move money globally. And it's wonderful that this can done without exchanges if needed. It goes the reverse from what you described too, not just going to home countries. When people fled Cambodia to San Francisco with all the gold coins they could collect and hide to start a new life, now there is a much safer and better option. Saying it is a ponzi scheme is circular reasoning at this point. You can't assert that it is ponzi and therefore we can't find buyers. It may END up as a Ponzi and you are right if it collapses. But people are definitely still using it and IF they keep using it. Then it won't be. If you look at confirmed daily transactions of BTC, you'll notice that even in brutal winters... people used it! When all the speculators have given up it was just people who believed in it, didn't want fiat, criminals, a hodge podge but steady flow of users nonetheless. Whether you think this group is "small" is irrelevant. They exist and that's what matters. But these people, like me will continue to exist (in fact grow as the world becomes more uncertain, more printing occurs). I am so so happy that BTC is a thing. I genuinely believe it is a minor miracle and triumph of the human mind, to create virtual buried treasure that is robust. Something that will be seen in history as an anti-authoritarian invention. If enough people see the folly of fiat, they will recognize not something to replace fiat but a pressure release valve that exists alongside it to fill a gap that exists. >So when debasement comes, who are you going to find to buy any of this My best is that not only will more debasement come, it will keep coming. If we have sudden deflation then BTC bros are in for a very rough time. Otherwise I believe we will do tremendously well.

sushisection

depends on how you sell it. if you use a centralized exchange and sold BTC for USD directly deposited into your bank account, then yes they would know by auditing your bank account.

Expensive_Special120

And what is BTC? And how does inflation not affect BTC? Its backed by FIAT … so … you know …

heinzmoleman

They evaluate the credit card debt to ensure this doesn't happen for example if you make luxury purchases before claiming bankruptcy those purchases will not be discharged under the bankruptcy and you would still be liable for the payments. Not to mention you have to disclose the BTC during the proceedings. If you attempt to hide it and then later convert it to fiat you will be jailed for fraud.

Legitimate-Space-279

In 2010 there were only a few things people were buying with BTC, and nobody was holding them as a store of value. We all remember what.

Cautious-Lecture-858

He literally said BTC bottomed at 92k.......... The AI said so.

kred316

Going to be interesting to see if the4 year cycle has been broken and we’re just seeing a pull back and the bull run continues or we’re seeing the beginning of a bear market. Personally I have no idea but there’s a lot of potential positives in early to mid 2026 so find it difficult to believe BTC doesn’t come back strong by at least mid 2026.

Longjumping-Bonus723

Ye 3rd and 4th generation blockchains will rise. If you want to store wealth, use BTC. If you want to solve a technical issue, use a modern project. It's not very hard to find out which ones are going to be used.

New_Drive_3617

Not far off from it... It was kinda nice having them try to jack my \~$800 of BTC and now sitting on \~$15k, even if it was recently worth over $20k.

MegaSackk

Amen brotha, but generating one with a coin or dice is just a fun way to learn more about how BTC private keys function.

Dangerous_Walk9239

Imagine owing that when BTC is at a million

VariatCA

Yeah that's literally what he said about both BTC and ETH, referring back to late-November. Absolutely unserious people in here just playing invent-a-narrative at this point.

MegaSackk

Couldn't agree more! I find it funny when people have thousands even millions of dollars of BTC and dont actually understand what Bitcoin fundamentally is. And it fundamentally is math.

VariatCA

Guys like that have no sense of history, they're here to just spout sensationalist garbage while either *knowing* it's wrong, or just not caring. Literally all of 2018 and from Q3 2019->Q3 2020 were the same as well, as BTC had a massive retreat from its 2017 ATH and the stock market grinded to new highs. The sheer irony of this coming from someone who claims to have been in Bitcoin since 2016 is hilarious.

LimitedUltimate

A better strategy is to open up a 0% interest intro rate credit card. You can find intro periods of 15-21 months without interest. You can put as much of your expenses on this card as the limit will allow, then take the money you would have spent on expenses and buy BTC with it. You’ll pay a low monthly minimum fee on the card during the intro period. The key is to, just prior to the intro period ending, open up another 0% interest card that you can transfer the balance on the old card to. This will buy you another 15-21 months without interest, effectively kicking the can down the road. You repeat this every 15-21 months until the debt is small enough to pay off. Then repeat. It’s the nation state playbook.

MatterFickle3184

Haha. BTC will slowly wind down under $50k before recovery to ATH. Y'all are hilarious.

thupkt

At least you have your other 46mm BTC

kirtash93

BTC is dead... again Anyway, what do you have for lunch guys?

Gareth_loves_dogs

Sold all mine last week and ploughed everything into BTC! Everything in the Fiat System is fundamentally flawed is my conclusion. As the stocks get artificially pumped due to QE, it isn't an actual true reflection of a companies worth or projected worth. It's just inflated. Oh, and I'm not certain. Nothing is certain except death. But you can become educated. The more education you partake in, the easy the decision becomes.

CanadianCompSciGuy

I don't know what it is, but we BTC'ers really need to take another boating safety class.

ButterscotchAlive736

100$ BTC wont do anything for you. I’d put that in med/small cap or throw it in meme coin instead 😅 or daytrade it

Happy_Discussion_536

Except people actually use them. You might not *like it* but that doesn't mean people don't use it. Evading capital controls, drugs. Honestly if I lived in Ukraine I would not keep a single penny in a local bank. If I lived in China or Russia I would hold tons of BTC in cold storage.

Happy_Discussion_536

Also when I say only I mean one that I believe is guaranteed to survive everything. Ofc I acknowledge other currencies could succeed. Although if they really got so good that it become a threat, BTC would fork. One final point, I think you underestimate how many people are buying because of fiat debasement as well. u/FrozenLogger

DelcimarMartins

Please learn to read. I said I was long BTC , not that I've held it longer. There is a difference that many educated people are able to discern.

Happy_Discussion_536

> It is like buzzword soup in here, lol. No more than you saying it's decentralized and now totally centralized and institutionalized right? The reality is more complex and requires nuance to discuss. Let me clarify by censorship resistant then. What I mean is that it is extremely difficult to confiscate. It is extremely difficult to stop people from using it. The example I cited was China. Is there a developed economy with more iron control over its citizens? And yet they failed. 20% of global hash rate comes from there which is insane to think about. Even in cases of government attempting to take someone's BTC, the vast majority of their attempts are not successful. >If you print it on to paper but actually using it has an extremely high validating cost, and the death of any useful currency is storage. We already agreed it's not really currency, so not sure what you're trying to get at here. >Until anyone wants to convert to anything of value, which is how its own value is determined, which is a strange circle don't you think? Absolutely not a strange circle. Because there are many, many things of value in the world that coexist at once. There are many situations where you have fiat X, want an off-ramp but want it to sent to party B to go to fiat Y or potentially return to X if it is favorable. But do not want to go through traditional channels >Bitcoin does poorly what a lot of blockchain tech does better. But the reason why bitcoin is valuable is the hoarding and "investing". not actually doing anything with it. >You can't seriously think anything you said is even considered by 99% of the people involved with it. They just want line to go up, and get the next person to pay more to do it. I think you're making a logical fallacy here that because a lot of people (like me) invest in bitcoin but don't use it for anything yet that it means it has zero use case. There's plenty of people who buy GLD and just do absolutely nothing but that. CBs buy it up with zero care of its utility. The market for gold would completely collapse if purely buying for holding demand disappeared. The fact that there are gold exchanges, gold advisors, an entire industry just based on gold as an investment is totally irrelevant. If US starts printing like crazy, I would consider going completely cold wallet making me a "real" user if you will. Just curious though, you seem to be really set on other coins being better. Is your point that we should invest in alts? Do you have them?

LowerMiddleClassMan

Oh boy I can’t wait for a BTC death cross and bull trap all the way to $300,000

That's the sell-BTC-low / Buy-Nasdaq-at-ATH mentality I like to see around here at /cc

Big_data_007

Wall Street is trying to squeeze crypto treasury companies like Saylors Strategy by icing them out of inclusion into the MSCI indexes. This will cause the prevention of passive index money flows into strategy and possibly force liquidation which will force BTC down in the short run. All at the same time JPM and other Wall Street players are creating new financial “instruments” that will give a new route for average folks to get “exposure” to BTC while skimming 5-7% in fees directly to the bank which strategy was not charging. Banks don’t want to be cut out of the market maker game essentially and need to stay relevant in holding the asset.

North_Appointment410

yeah, BTC dump hard again, what a surprise, not really.

HistoryNeither7732

A dead cat bounce is a small upward movement as something is headed down, so not really a good thing. If you believe that BTC is going to go up to 150k (New ATH) that wouldn’t be a dead cat bounce FYI For example some might say that the recent move back up to 90k after recent ATH is a dead cat bounce as we sink lower I don’t really have an opinion on price targets. Just wanted to explain what dead cat bounce means and that it’s not really a term that goes along with positive price sentiment

DryMyBottom

what now, did BTC take the elevator down again?

Happy_Discussion_536

BTC is still very up from then? I'm guessing you got into alts?

There are a handful of credit cards out there who do cash back in BTC. Can take a while to complete the account setup but it's an interesting option.

Two major headwinds this month: Tax-loss harvesting -- and there's a lot of loss to harvest this year. Second will be all the boomers looking at their quarter-end and year-end investment statements, seeing that their BTC ETFs performed awful this year relative to stocks, etc., and they're going to rotate out of that shit.

longonbtc

I mean that's your choice but you might regret it in the future once you figure out how bitcoin works. Have you ever actually sent a bitcoin transaction from your own wallet before? Because if you have, then you should know what a UTXO is and why you shouldn't withdraw tiny amounts of bitcoin from an exchange. I'll explain in detail below. --- UTXO is short for unspent transaction output. Every time you receive a bitcoin transaction, you get a UTXO (it's a transaction output and it's unspent). When you send a bitcoin transaction, you build it with inputs and outputs. Each input is a UTXO. The more inputs or outputs that a transaction has, the larger the virtual weight of the transaction will be. A larger virtual weight means you will pay a larger transaction fee. So if you only have a whole bunch of UTXOs worth less than $100 and you want to send $2,000 worth of bitcoin, then you will have to build your transaction with 21+ inputs and the transaction fee will be 12+ times higher than if you had used a single UTXO that's worth $2,000+ as the single input in the transaction. --- Every time you spend a UTXO or UTXOs (send a transaction), the leftover BTC will be sent to a new change address that is controlled by your same wallet that you used to send the transaction. For example, say you have a 0.09001000 BTC UTXO (unspent transaction output) and you want to send 0.06 BTC to Bobby. You send spend the 0.09001000 BTC UTXO and send 0.06 BTC to Bobby and you spend 0.0001 BTC on the transaction fee and the leftover 0.03 BTC will be sent to your change address that is controlled by the same wallet that you sent the transaction from. UTXOs need to be spent in full. Think of it like breaking a bill. Say you have a twenty dollar bill and you want to buy something that costs three dollars. The merchant is going to give you back seventeen dollars as change. --- You can also consolidate UTXOs. For example, you build a transaction with 100 inputs (100 UTXOs) and 1 output. You will be left with 1 single UTXO after sending that transaction. You would have paid a pretty hefty transaction fee to send that transaction because the virtual size would be large because the transaction has one hundred inputs. It's best to consolidate UTXOs when the mempool is not congested and fees are low (like right now).

BTC, did you hear, limited supply . A guy named Mike told me this on my way to sell a kidney

Nobody said we aren't dipping my sweet child. You didn't even make that point in your OP, you just babbled about it going "up from here and ATH next year". Which is why it was hot garbage. I'm long BTC, much longer than you most here I assure you. And again, that has zero to do with your OP or my response.

Electrical-Cat-6660

My question to you is, how much did you lose on this panic? 😂 BTC long is the way, don’t get mad, buy the dip because we are at a bargain and it won’t last!

You honestly should wait until you have accumulated at least 0.01 BTC on the exchange before you withdraw your bitcoin. Or at least 0.005 BTC.

That big wick down to 88k for BTC was a sign

NashDaypring1987

I wouldn't say dumb.. just lacking in the facts. Yes, you can transfer if the other place allows you to hold it "physically"... they supply you a wallet. I could transfer BTC bought on Robinhood and transfer it to Coinbase or Kraken. I don't think Schwab provides wallets for their customers. I believe the only traditional finance firm that provides wallets is Fidelity. Just open a Fidelity Crypto account.

mikemitch38

Robinhood has added the ability transfer your owned BTC out

DryMyBottom

I believe in BTC too, but I also value some older tech ngl

justaguytrying2getby

Except most banks keep physical cash, so even if offline you can still do something. BTC relies exclusively of being online, and banks being online. Regarding the other stuff you mentioned, yeah, but at least with stocks you're buying into a company that makes a physical product. BTC is literally just fiat that you can't access anywhere outside its own network. And now its turning more and more into a government type of controlled thing. I've been in crypto for 10 years, but every year I lose more confidence in it.

1A655A9CEC05B28E04

Yes it may be the same effect at the same point in time but you have to look at the bigger/longer picture. Not selling BTC means that when btc moons, they capatalize on all the gains, let's say they sold 50% of their btc stash, they'll only capture only 50% of what could've been captured if they didn't sell. The inverse is also true but why are you buying MSTR if you don't believe in BTC?

It’s not over yet and the big print just started. Smart money is not in a fraudulent systems that fund corruption and war. BTC will end banks as we know them, they can’t compete on a single metric.

Post is by: Excellent_8740 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pev529/crypto_market_outlook_what_could_happen_next/ The cryptocurrency market has been extremely volatile, BTC is around $86K, down about 30% from its October high of $126K, ETH sits at $2,800, and most altcoins are underperforming SOL at $124, XRP $2.06, and the Total market capitalization is near $3T after losing over $1T in recent months, with trading volume around $135B and liquidations at $608M. Macro factors seems not helping, and i dont know where Fed rate cut expectations are going, Bitcoin ETFs continue to see outflows, and broader risk sentiment remains cautious. At the same time, whales are accumulating BTC, and XRP is seeing inflows, while institutional interest is still present, but Does this indicate short term weakness with potential for a rebound if key supports hold, or are their further corrections likely? On a related note, going deep about the crypto news though I don’t usually follow traders, but I’ve noticed Asiftahsin going livestreams on bitget and, and uptil now i couldnt say why some people are finding his analysis useful to the extent of joining the 10x challenge but does he really deserve the attention and subscriptions he’s getting, or is it just hype?

All those people who bought stock before, now have less btc/share because of stock dilution. They didn’t DIRECTLY sell their btc. They sold more shares, lowering the amount each any holder owns. This is the exact same effect as selling. STOCK HOLDERS NOW HOLD LESS BTC.

The block reward will still contain all the fees. The theory (as per the OG white paper) is that the value of the fees will be incentive enough for people to continue mining. The idea of halving means there shouldn't be a cliff-edge effect. Currently the block reward is 3.125 and the fees are \~0.05, so not exactly balanced. But as the reward comes down either the fees will go up, the difficulty will go down, or the price of BTC will increase such that these things remain roughly in balance. Even if they don't balance, you'd expect the difficulty to come down eventually to find a new equilibrium. Interestingly this happened before. When the Bitcoin / Bicoin-Cash split happened, most of the hashing power went with Bitcoin. This meant that Bitcoin-Cash had a long period where the difficulty was far higher than the previous block expected - but eventually a block was mined and after that the difficulty for Bitcoin-Cash went down to find a new equilibrium.
