BTC

TheHunterAmin

We are good. Bearmarket bottom is ~365 after the peak, so around october 2026 it should print a cycle bottom. Just buy (DCA) as much you can till then. As we topped on apathy instead of euphoria, we have also a less bearmarket correction. So that means the accumulation year should be also quicker at the highs again. Lets say end 2027 BTC sits at 100k-ish. Then we have January 1st 2028 the snapshot, we have again in Q1 a new BTC ATH before the April 2028 halving and range again from 130k to 100k for month like March-Sept 2024. Then end 2028 the parabolica starts.. But anyway that tax law first need to pass senate this week.

You_Cant_Win_This

Just like 15 didn't happen last time btc was at 70. 30k might happen just as well as 5k. Imagine the tether machine imploding and your artificially pumped BTC actually goes to real demand value.

greenwolf_12

I agree all that crap really watered down the crypto industry but its also a good thing. Potentially now only projects that actually do something have a chance. Even BTC isn't a store of value how we thought. Stable coins and tokenization projects are key to survive this cycle.

pfftlolbrolollmao

Hearing a lot of naysayers these days. People stomping their feet saying go to zero already. It's so obvious this ifls their first bear market. This was expected/predicted. People saying it's not a safe asset all the while the bear and bull markets are predicted. I still have all the BTC I bought in the last bear market. Our current bull run didn't go as high as I hoped but I am still way up from what I put in. Growth will be exponential this next bull run. If I can hold through the next bear market I will be richer than anyone in my family has ever been. I can skim off the top and keep hodling. People saying the market is stagnating while the price is literally going down because people are selling and losing faith. It hasn't taken off and is merely speculative. It hasn't been hacked and grows more and more popular. The price dwarfs it's nearest competitor that was hacked. There is no crypto. There is only BTC. HODL.

noviwu97

Because institutionals are mostly buying BTC and not the VC pump & dump that are commonly held by redditors.

cryptorevolution999

No one is going to crack it tomorrow, until it happens. We don't know anything about which tech a gov. could have right now. BTC in this case is fragile. Today they are saying at A phase, but they could be already ad M phase. Traditional financial system, like any other protocol will get updated as it happened during the years. It is centralized, easy to control. BTC is not. Now, imagine if that tomorrow happens now (2030), and we see that old wallets are getting emptyed, one by one. You know what will happens right? BTC will collapse to zero.

uamdarasulka

yeah that's the part that's hard to read. historically this setup goes both ways — either ETH catches down to the short thesis, or BTC drags it up and the shorts get squeezed. the positioning is clear, the direction of resolution isn't

Glyzzza_

For long-term simplicity, BTC alone works — secure, decentralized, and steady. ETH, SOL and a few major networks can add upside, but they need more monitoring.

cryptorevolution999

But you are missing the most important key factor about bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralized, while banks are not. If tomorrow someone crack a 256 bit key, bitcoin will go to ZERO. Banks? They would just add an additional security layers which are already in place. They could also shut down the servera until someone figure it out what to do. Again, the hypotetical scenario above is that if someone cracks it tomorrow. Also, with BTC, the public keys are exposed as soon you spend it. This means, that any wallet that exposed the public key is vulnerable.

theoptionrider

Man I love the way you think, why? Because it's the CORRECT way of thinking. Back when BTC was over $120K - I kept trying to tell people the 4 year cycle is not over and it'a alive and well until proven otherwise. This year will be just like 2022 - BRUTAL. And it'll go lower than anyone could imagine - I'm with you 40-45K range. Big names will get liquidated - fear will rule the day! Then - just like the last time, 2028 - things will heat up again.

I don't think they are saying it isn't valuable enough, just that quantum poses a threat to many other things as well. If anything BTC would be more risky to steal because the ledger is still public and a massive heist would make the stolen coins less valuable on that front, and just by devaluing BTC in general. Like sure you might "devalue" USD by stealing a billion dollars which the government prints to give back to the victims, but that's such a small amount of devaluation compared to the effects of a massive loss of trust in something like BTC.

mrjune2040

I have no idea where you see 'BTC isn't valuable enough to be broken for monetary gain'- are you sure you aren't conflating somebody else's comment?

muckingfidget420

Someone else's answer but here: A few key differences make this a much more major problem for btc: \- No retroactive address fix. A user must move their coins into a new wallet that is quantum resistant manually. \- Around 25% of the supply is considered to be lost and have its public keys exposed creating a massive supply shock risk. \- Major changes need to happen to actually keep the blockchain running the same as before with quantum resistant addresses (they are much more larger) \- No rollback possible for individual user losses unlike banks. Also don't you think its funny that your first argument is essentially saying that BTC isnt valuable enough to be broken for monetary gain? Like which one is it? Is it worth something or is it not?

Hot_Local_Boys_PDX

It’s worth taking a bite at current prices if you believe in BTC long-term, for sure.

Disastrous_Fee5953

How can you say that when BTC lost 50% in the last half a year. You don’t consider a 50% decrease in value to be volatile?

iCantDoPuns

Honor system unless you get audited. In the US at least. You self report your own cost-basis when the broker liquidating doesnt have one. If you want to turn BTC to fiat, you have to transfer it to an exchange like coinbase and sell it for CAD or USD. They are the entity that will transfer CAD/USD to a bank account. In the US, right around now, Coinbase issues tax docs. Some brokers will ask what your cost-basis was for coins transferred in, and you just type a number. If you do, that number is used on the tax statements. If not they issue you a statement showing a huge cap gain from a cost basis of $0. In the US, its still up to us to report that with our tax return, and when we do, we again have the option to add or change the cost basis. In the US, the IRS is less likely to audit you if you pick a reasonable cost basis and pay some tax. This is clearly NOT legal or even good advice, but it is true. If you get caught egregiously lying on a tax return (like saying you bought in at $120K and it's all a loss) you can go to prison, so dont, but the IRS was just gutted. US 2026 filings wont be reviewed until 2028 if ever, but if you are audited, If you bought in in 2015, the cost basis was under $500/btc, which is honestly so close to 0 - youre paying taxes on 14000% gains - that if you were trying to pay what you really owe its kinda pointless to care. The difference between a $0 and $500 cost basis is trivial when theres been 60K in appreciation beyond that. $3000 / $500 = 6BTC or now about $396K, of which $393K is cap gains. If you went with a cost basis of 0, and a tax rate of 24% youd pay $95,040, but if you use a $500 cost basis, it would drop to $94,320. That $700 difference is hardly worth the mental energy.

You think every institutions and etfs like blackrock and all retail customers in the world will exit BTC now? What is the reason now that would push not a single person to hold it? What changed?

my prediction. Im a long term holder thou. Won't sell till BTC hits $1,000,000 in 2035. Then i can finally retire and enjoy my beach life of morning Guinness and afternoon cocaine.

Cryptizard

Extremely false. First of all, quantum computers only break asymmetric encryption, and then only certain types. It just happens to be that BTC is secured by ECDSA which is one of the things that quantum computers can break. Symmetric encryption is still perfectly safe. And there are approved post-quantum signature schemes that are also safe. Traditional financial institutions have a much easier time upgrading to post-quantum ciphers, and many of them already have done it. Since they have monolithic control over their IT systems they can just flip a switch and do it. Blockchains are not so lucky because they require consensus across a huge number of stakeholders who don't often agree. The browser you are viewing this on right now already has support for post-quantum ciphers. So does OpenSSL/Apache, the software that runs most websites. It's not going to be a problem for the traditional financial system. It's uniquely difficult for blockchains, and especially BTC because of its retrictive block size.

Better to just buy on the way down now and then continue to buy on the way back up. DCA!! Otherwise you’ll just sit on the bench and miss the lift off once BTC starts to pump again. Really difficult to time the bottom perfectly

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A Bitcoin wallet from the Satoshi era, inactive since 2011, sold 11,300 BTC worth $750 million on February 23, 2026. The wallet's liquidation at Bitcoin's cycle-high prices caused short-term market volatility, with a potential 2-5% dip expected. Similar dormant wallet sales in the past were absorbed quickly, signaling strong market liquidity and demand. This event highlights profit-taking behavior by early holders and does not indicate a macro top for Bitcoin. Long-term fundamentals remain intact. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Glass-Bodybuilder646

Buy ETF or companies that buy BTC . I assume they will still be treated like equity and subject to capital gain ?

prinky_muffin

You’re basically right, if your BTC is held inside an IRA, you generally can’t borrow against it or use it as collateral without triggering tax issues. Those accounts are pretty locked down by design. Most people who borrow against BTC do it with coins held outside an IRA. That’s where crypto backed loans actually come into play. I’ve seen folks use setups like Nexo for that, but it only really applies once the BTC isn’t sitting in a retirement wrapper.

prinky_muffin

I’ve borrowed against BTC once, and for me it was more about risk management than chasing the lowest rate. I didn’t default, but I kept the LTV pretty conservative so I wasn’t stressing over every dip. BTC did pull back a bit while the loan was open, but there was enough buffer that no forced selling happened. I used Nexo at the time, nothing fancy. Locked the collateral, took what I needed, paid it back, and unlocked it later. Biggest lesson for me was to only borrow an amount you’re comfortable actively monitoring if the market gets choppy. I’d probably do it again, but strictly as a tool, not something to rely on long term.

arjum-mandal

If you’re thinking long term, has clearly earned its spot as the most resilient and institutionally accepted asset in crypto. That said, saying it’s the only one worth holding ignores the asymmetric upside (and risk) in select alts. it really comes down to your risk tolerance and portfolio strategy. Personally, I treat BTC as the core holding, and anything else as higher risk satellite exposure.

edakaya240

That’s a rational thought process capital preservation matters more than emotional attachment to alts. Historically, weak altcoins tend to bleed against BTC in bearish or uncertain phases, while BTC usually recovers first and stronger. If you rotate, do it based on risk management, not panic, and accept the loss as a strategic reset rather than a failure.

userxtrustno1

Since then, BTC will retrace to the previous ATH. So we can only be optimistic from there.

Bruglione

Dutch people are about to get rekt if the next bull run truly starts in nov/dec 2027. Our new tax system will snapshot BTC's price at jan 1 2028, and then again on jan 1 2029. And then the price difference will be seen as "unrealized gains" which will be taxed at 36%.

OkSeries5363

If you have more confidence in Tether than the USD, you’re basically saying you trust a private company’s receipt for a dollar more than the dollar itself. USDT value is literally a mirror of the USD. If the dollar crashes the 'receipt' doesn't stay valuable it just becomes a digital record of a currency thats now worth less? Tether isnt an alternative to the dollar its a transportation system for the dollar. If the destination ie USD disappears, the bus isn't going anywhere. Also tether is actually about 80% backed by US treasuries. Gold and BTC only make up a tiny fraction of their reserves.

Reach_Beyond

I think we see a little bounce, another steady decline, even smaller bounce, final decline to touch $50k. After that steady to fast growth to next bull cycle. All of that changes for only 2 things. Global recession, BTCs in a bad spot so if we see a 2026 recession could see real red times, $35k BTC. Second is a larger near hyper inflation event/money printing never stops, assets flee to BTC and near term ATHx2.

Taxi-Shinawat

Agreed. Only $BTC and $FART for me.

Emergency_Scheme_670

No I mean bitcoin ETFs make up only 6% of supply. $80B already wiped in last 4 months. The narrative you are experiencing is anecdotal. It’s not a real macro sentiment imo. Keep calm. Keep stacking BTC

One move. Minutes. Position wiped. Total liquidations today were around $468M, mostly longs. Open interest also dropped sharply, which tells you how crowded the upside trade was. This is the part people underestimate about leverage: If you’re 10x long and BTC moves \~10% against you, you’re done. No recovery. No second chance. If you’re spot and BTC drops 10%, it hurts, but you still own the asset. Time becomes your buffer. Not saying leverage is evil. But the margin for error is tiny, especially in a choppy market like this. do you still use leverage in this environment? Or have recent liquidations pushed you back to spot-only? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MotoMola

The use of crypto has allowed many investors to 600-1000% profit from ETF miners, tax free. If you're worried about the value of something, maybe you're just using your money wrong. Shit coins remain shit, and BTC remains following its expected halving cycle. Everything that's already been known and can be predicted.

Ge_Yo

We’re probably not “years away” from breaking BTC, but the risk is real long term. Exposed public keys are the main concern, and a post quantum soft fork is possible, the hard part is migration. Some newer L1s are already built around post quantum signatures and a migration path from classical cryptography, with EVM compatibility and multi language smart contracts, instead of trying to bolt it on later.

PresentationWeak4818

Honestly, rotating weak alts into BTC isn’t crazy at this point. Most old-cycle coins don’t come back unless they’re still building and getting real users. Bitcoin might dip short term, but it usually holds value better over time. A lot of people (even people like Evan Luthra or Vitalik or Balaji) talk about consolidating into strength during bears instead of hoping dead alts revive. Just don’t go all-in at once.

Ge_Yo

We’re probably not “years away” from breaking BTC, but the risk is real long term. Exposed public keys are the main concern, and a post quantum soft fork is possible. The hard part is coordination and migration. Projects like Qanplatfform are already building with post quantum security at the base layer instead of planning to retrofit later.

best coin to buy is BTC or XMR.

Past_Expression54646

in September 2027 BTC will hit 300,000 for the first time. BTC will be below 50,000 by July 2026.

Past_Expression54646

good idea. we are entering into a bear market. BTC will hold it's value better than alts.

same here. waiting for a dip to stack more BTC without chasing prices

There is 21 million BTC the last BTC won't be mined until around the year 2140.

Ahholder

I think it's not relevant who he/she/them is/are as BTC works. But if I should say I prefer choose more than a guy or girl. That because BTC involves more disciplines. So or he was a genius with more degrees and studies or more people working together each in his field.

North_Amphibian7779

If BTC hits 30k will Saylor straight up unravel ?

anymonero

You're forgetting one thing. The incentive to reorg the chain if a sufficiently large output moves. Imagine someone moves 1000 BTC, that's currently ~300 blocks or 50 hours in block rewards. A couple halvings down, it's even exponentially more time.

Puzzleheaded-Rip8944

At this rate especially with china and 👀ran selling and liquidating there crypto holdings we can see BTC at 16-25K before april

rankinrez

With the BCH split my wallet keys from before then remain usable on both chains. When BTC forks to no longer support transactions to be sent from “legacy” addresses that won’t be the case. It’s a bad look to suddenly declare a huge chunk of the money in existence is now invalid. Flies in the face of the original concept imo.

Emergency_Scheme_670

Thank you for sharing. Will have to try out Swan. Have heard good things about Coldcard and BitBox. I like Jack. Will look into those. Cashapp only lets you do $10k deposits of BTC per week which is a nuisance. Curiosu if you ever plan to sell few bitcoins at once, do you use Swan or maybe a DEX?

Happy_Estimate_8177

Don’t buy if Bitcoin hits $40,000. Place that money in River to get BTC interest on your cash and wait for the buying opportunity of a lifetime. Bitcoin will fall below $20,000 and that is when you buy. I think purchasing a home risky no longer an asset. Oh, and Bitcoin isn’t going to zero.

ElderMight

Any hardware that's bitcoin only and open source is really good. Sparrow wallet is an outstanding software wallet to pair with your hardware. For that much BTC you absolutely need to be running your own node and maybe even an electrum server for best possible privacy. Strongly consider multi-sig for absolute best security.

longonbtc

Some other good hardware bitcoin wallet options are the [Coldcard Q](https://coldcard.com/q), [BitBox02 Bitcoin-only edition](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/), [Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-only](https://trezor.io/trezor-safe-5-bitcoin-only), [Trezor Safe 7 Bitcoin-only](https://trezor.io/trezor-safe-7-bitcoin-only), and [Foundation Passport Core](https://foundation.xyz/passport-core/). These five hardware wallets are all good hardware wallets that have publicly available source code that can be reviewed. There are also older & cheaper versions of two of these hardware wallets but they are still open source and reliable. They are just less user friendly than the newer & costlier versions. Those older & cheaper versions are the [Coldcard Mk4](https://coldcard.com/mk4) and [Trezor Safe 3](https://trezor.io/trezor-safe-3). [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/) is another good option. You can easily use readily available parts to build yourself a SeedSigner hardware wallet which is fully open source and can be used in an air-gapped fashion. But SeedSigner is not as user friendly as Trezor or BitBox02 Which exchange is best for you depends on what country you are a resident of. I recommend buying bitcoin from [Strike](https://strike.me/), [River](https://river.com/), [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/), or [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin). All four of these platforms are good places to buy bitcoin from. [River](https://river.com/) and [Strike](https://strike.me/) are the best platforms to set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule (automatic dollar cost averaging schedule). If you set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule on River, then River stops charging you fees after the first week. https://river.com/zero-fee If you set up an automatic hourly or daily recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first week. And if you set up an automatic weekly or monthly recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first automatic purchase. https://strike.me/faq/how-do-i-set-up-a-recurring-purchase/ You should also be aware that exchanges get to choose how much they want to charge their customers for withdrawing bitcoin from their platform. This fee is referred to as a bitcoin withdrawal fee. Some exchanges choose not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee at all (meaning it's free to withdraw bitcoin). [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee. [Strike](https://strike.me/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you choose the slowest option. [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you withdraw 0.001 BTC or more and you choose the standard speed option. [River](https://river.com/) chooses to give their customers one free bitcoin withdrawal per month.

Bitdeer liquidated its entire Bitcoin holdings, selling 189.8 BTC from weekly mining output plus an additional net 943.1 BTC from reserves, resulting in zero BTC as of February 20, 2026. This occurred days before today, tied to capital raises like a $43.7 million share offering. No liquidation for Cleanspark, seems that's speculative.

Jthecrazed

Dutch tax lawyer here. This article is ass, it misrepresents what the legislation actually is: a small tax benefit for dutch nationals. So hereby a couple of corrections. Previously the dutch government taxed unrealized gains already on bank accounts and investments. Crypto was exempt as they thought it wasn't an investment. That was remidied a while ago. The new bit is that crypto holders may report their actual gains if they are lower. So if you can prove your BTC dropped in value, you don't pay taxes and can deduct your losses from other profits. This is quite nice as if you have 12% gains you are taxed at 6% and at 3% if you get 3%. Last but definitely not least: This law only applies to dutch (non-corperate) tax residents.

Metals do a 3x every 20 years. Bitcoin up that much in less than a year in bull runs. Cherry picking to say metals outperform it means you've never looked at the GOLD/BTC chart.

How do you know Bitdeer liquidated 900BTC today? Surprised they would do it on a Sunday

chainer3000

Not necessarily, but I do believe in the BTC cycle as I’ve watched it happen every time. I feel this time will be less extreme because of institutional ownership. It was just a hypothetical - i think id start considering btc around 25-30k but it depends how quickly it gets to that point. I know there are lots of maxis here who say always buy, but ive always thought that was stupid. I’ve made quite a bit in crypto, but then again I also traded away BTC at 15$ for weed

MuahahaGuy

I think BTC is going to have problems for a while. I'm worried about the mining data centers moving to AI and what that does. The lower the price goes the less attractive running a mining data center will be.

Aedotox

You start stacking BTC the minute you think you've been clever for not doing so

ElevatorMate

I think you’re right. Sad, but true. BTC will be the only one worth anything eventually, because so many corporates and governments are in it for the long term.

PowerFarta

BTC is just on the way down. If anything this would be bullish as tariffs capped at 15% and limited in time

chainer3000

My question is when do you start to consider stacking BTC again? If it keeps declining steadily for months, where do you go “oh hell yeah, gunna scoop as much of that as possible”. For me I think 2-3 years from now

OpticallyMosache

Is there a forum somewhere that is filled with people that believe in BTC? I'm looking for a like minded group of people that accumulate BTC no matter the price. I'm especially interested in people that self custody because they believe BTC is a hedge against centralized networks and fiat currencies. I hold Bitcoin as insurance against a future where traditional systems fail. Would be awesome to find somewhere to chat where you aren't constantly arguing about Bitcoin's price forecast 60 minutes from now.

kenavr

I guess I am in the wrong sub for that, but is it worth saving? What are the real world applications for it that justifies past and current value? Most people invested because they hoped for big spikes not because they saw worthwhile applications or major benefits to the world. It won’t go to 0, it will just be something that exists with maybe new projects with good marketing coming up. The boom is over, it’s just moving closer to it’s actual value. (That could still be a higher BTC value but overall the hype is over)

MoneyOptimal6395

No people cried about it being the end in every bear market. That is why it's a meme that BTC is dead.

OpticallyMosache

Only crypto worth holding a significant dollar amount of is BTC.

Necromancer1899

It doesn’t matter. Even without major developments, ADA will likely revisit around $1 once liquidity flows back into crypto. That’s an easy 3x from here. If you think crypto is dead, that’s fine. Let’s revisit this when BTC is back above $100k.

choccybanana12

I've been doing well for myself with this strategy for several years, so I'm fine with it. I'll take the risk to make money along the way and still have some BTC holdings for when it appreciates. Buy and hold is your strategy and that's fine.

BacchusAndHamsa

tariffs have nothing to do with BTC fall over past few months

BakedGoods

if falls every sunday, without fail. tends to recover during the week. anyone who follows BTC knows this.

Boddis

That part of crypto deserves to die. Mainstream buy BTC and other top coins. We don’t want institutions buying in to it, as it defeats the purpose - but if they do - they’re buying the smart plays. Stay away from shitcoins.

Necromancer1899

It's impossible to predict the bottom, but it's quite likely that BTC hasn't bottomed out yet. Not even a 50% drop from ATH.

Yes my friend! We might see $40k in the next 3-4 weeks. But it will trade sideways until Oct 2026 (my guess). I timed this bull run according to the 4 year cycle and pulled out very close to the top in GREAT profit. this has been the most successful bull run for me and i've been in the space for over 10 years. My 2 cents: Wait. Don't rush in now. When BTC Bottoms, it will run 10% around that price for weeks and months end

Smug twat. Boomers know far more than you give them credit for, as well as a lot of them holding a hell of a lot of BTC, probably more than you do.

While it's difficult to predict for how long this accumulation phase will last, my goal is to accumulate a decent amount of BTC (at an average of $60-65k) and ADA (at an average of $.25-.30). Would expect at least 2x on BTC and 3-4x on ADA during the next bull run.

Yes. Start investing on Crypto again once BTC is close to it's new ATH.

Can someone explain why all the shit coins (eth, solana, etc) tank right alongside BTC at the same time? Are there equal amounts of traders with leverage with those shit coins?

Last year I owned 37 doors of real estate. By the end of this year I’m hoping to own 7. I will be parking at least a decent sum of the proceeds into BTC, which I plan to buy around October as I think that will be the most likely time for the bear to bottom. I’m not telling you what to do but I know what I’m doing. I’ve done the RE thing and I found it was too much work for too little reward when compared to market investments, but I’m lazy so there’s that.

I only trade and invest in OG ETH and BTC. The rest are garbage
