BTC

Zhytaleks

BTC and ETH are still the safest long-term bets in my opinion. Beyond those, I'd only allocate a small percentage to projects with real adoption and active development, like SOL or LINK. For a 10+ year horizon, survivability matters more than chasing the next 100x.

quintavious_danilo

Not for me, probably because I’m in the EU? I wire the money, buy BTC and immediately withdraw to my cold wallet.

Zhytaleks

BTC is my core position. I don't expect it to be the best performer all the time. Trying to rotate into every hot asset sounds good in theory, but it's much harder in practice. A core BTC allocation plus a smaller "opportunity" portfolio works better for me.

Accepting Bitcoin can be a good option for a hotel, especially for international guests who already use crypto. I would suggest using a proper Bitcoin payment gateway instead of manually sharing a wallet address. Consider things like BTC price volatility, payment confirmations, accounting/tax rules, and whether you want to keep BTC or convert it to fiat. You can check crypto payment processors like Coinremitter or similar solutions. They help businesses accept Bitcoin payments with payment tracking and easy integration options. I would start with a small test and see how many customers actually use it before making it a major payment method.

No_Swimming_4961

Since your BTC is currently on Robinhood, the first step would be checking if you can withdraw it to a personal Bitcoin wallet. For daily payments, most people prefer using a wallet where they control their funds rather than keeping everything on an exchange. You can start by moving a small amount of BTC to a wallet and try using it with merchants that accept Bitcoin or Lightning payments. Another option is using crypto payment cards that convert BTC when you spend. Also, keep in mind that in the US, spending Bitcoin may create a taxable event, so tracking your transactions is important. If you are asking from a business perspective (accepting Bitcoin payments from customers), then payment gateways can make the process easier. Solutions like Coinremitter and similar [BTC payment processors](https://coinremitter.com/bitcoin-payment-gateway) help businesses accept Bitcoin payments without building their own payment infrastructure. For personal spending, I would start with a wallet first and explore merchants/services that support BTC payments.

I am buying the dip, stocks are near ATH BTC not. Don't over commint have most of your money in stocks but BTC is looking good here, DCA every week might hit 40k or 80k next either way I am buying,

sambstone13

Why? If you spend 5 hours a day watching BTC price, while making a lot of money. It is much better than a lot of jobs nowadays.

quintavious_danilo

Hey girl! You need to inform yourself before buying stuff you don’t understand. You can get BTC on any exchange and send it tonight. Try Kraken, Bybit or OKX.

FreshMistletoe

$9492 BTC, all homie had to do was buy.

TheDigitalPoint

As an investment, honestly stocks/mutual funds have been performing better than Bitcoin for an eternity (in Internet time… 6 or 7 years now). Just checked and my personal boring (only 3 funds) portfolio is at +108.39% in the last 5 years (5 years back is the easy one to get a quick number for). Bitcoin is +84.32% for the same 5 years. I can’t really even find a time frame where Bitcoin has performed better even when trying to be selective with the timeframe to lean better to BTC. That’s not saying I would necessarily dump the Bitcoin (or whatever crypto you like) that you have, but moving forward, it wouldn’t be a top choice as an investment for me. People might get lucky with a random crypto that shoots up, but the same can be said for the random stock that does the same. I do think the days of “big gains for everyone” has passed.

Andre_ev

Lightning is good for momentum transfer of BTC but as layer it’s usually need both parties to use it

kepalautakkau

around 70% BTC n 30% other crypto

Jealous-Reindeer-610

I forget I'm Dyslexic some times , but obviously you did not have the private keys to spend 'your' coins held on 'your' public BTC address , which means they don't exactly belong to you either way

Raymikqwer

Yh I only have one shitcoin position remaining (mostly because it's liquidity is dead and I can really be assed to deal with it now). Remaining portfolio is just 90% BTC and 10% ETH. A very tiny amount of shitcoins will pump, but it's very unlikely you manage to pick those ones.

StopLossCollectorn1

\>10 years potential = BTC

NoBrosCrypto

No I won’t recommend things I’m not sure of. BTC and ETH are my only conviction plays. The rest, make sure you look at the use case, developer adoption (who’s building on it), TVL (total value locked) but be careful this is more a metric around DeFi, and tokenomics. Also check whether it’s growing or dying - not by price but by activity. Developers, Dapps, unique wallets, unique wallets, etc. Just steer clear of all memecoins as they literally have no utility. Only the big ones like DOGE if you must, since it’s been around long enough and has at least ongoing transactions and activity. Otherwise consider that pure gambling if you’re playing down that end.

Specific_Mix8694

Звичайно, показники Bitcoin були вражаючими, але не забуваймо про втрачені можливості з перспективними альтернативними валютами, які можуть перевершити BTC під час наступного зростання.

Xrp357

The problem is when a CEO states “never sell your BTC,” then turns around and his company sells the same exact thing they said not to sell, points to two issues. Either he is being hypocritical, or his companies business model is extremely flawed. However, I have the solution. All he has to do is wait u til flare comes out with fbtc and he can stake the btc and generate a real yield and come up with a manifold of viable options. Your welcome problem solved

Inevitable_Moment_11

BTC is on its way to Centralized. It will soon be another zelle , just slower

DackNBills878

Nope, BTC uses ASIC. Nvidia. GPUs in data centers only useful for Gen AI

NeighborhoodPlane794

Sorry. Getting hacked and dumping stolen BTC would be good for everyone. Better?

LibertyWithLiquidity

Buy real BTC or get your rectum STRCed.

LionRivr

Lots to unpack here. I’ll agree that BTC is not widely used as money today. It’s highly volatile and speculative in the short term, and at best, its a hedge against fiat debasement in the long term. However, just because it isn’t widely used as money today, doesn’t mean it won’t in the future. The amount of political talks for regulations on BTC/crypto aren’t something to write off. The US knows that they can’t control it or outright ban it, so they are forced to create a regulatory framework around it. And they’re trying to channel it into USD stablecoins. The reason is that BTC could become a credible threat to US global economic influence. Not because it could replace USD as a currency, but because BTC can become a tool that other countries can use to bypass US sanctions and bypass the need for USD for global trade. So yeah. Not exactly “money” for day to day transactions. But “money” that can transact billions of $ of value, transparently, across borders without a centralized, 3rd party.

CommunityCommon1732

About 70% BTC, 20% ETFs, and 10% cash, that's the balance Im comfortable with for now

Powerful-Run-1485

In my opinion it depends on BTC dominance

VizeKarma

That is the exact reason why I haven't begun development. The plan as of now is to make growth follow the revenue rather than to outpace it. If usage on a given chain starts costing more than what the donations bring in, I'd throttle or cap before adding more networks rather than expect blind and hope donations catch up. Worst is that it stays smaller and slower-growing than I'd like, but it doesn't go bankrupt from its own popularity. For BTC/ETH, running your own node isn't too expensive. I ran some estimates on bitcoind and an eth validator, and I estimate around $100-$150 per month on cloud compute on Hetzner. That works out to be around $5 a day, which I think could be manageable over donations. As I expand into more networks, I hope that number will go up somewhat linearly.

NeighborhoodPlane794

Even if the next ATH is just a touch above the last one, I just hope BTC has more market share than the one before. Meme coins and scams are ruining the asset class

Arman_CountOnSheep

Honestly, don’t sleep on the stuff adjacent to Bitcoin either. There are a ton of ways to build a career around BTC without literally working at a Bitcoin company. I work in crypto tax / forensic blockchain accounting, and it’s actually a pretty interesting intersection. You’re constantly tracing funds on-chain, digging through wallets and exchanges, and understanding how transactions actually move. You end up learning a ridiculous amount about blockchain just by following funds. Bitcoin is creating an entire ecosystem around itself tax, accounting, mining, energy, analytics, custody, compliance, research, policy, etc. So definitely shoot for River or Swan, but don’t box yourself in. There are a lot of ways to get paid to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. with a Business Analytics background + hash rate research, you’ve probably got more angles than you think. 🫡

ubermensch1001

It's amazing to me that people are still here wondering whether this is the time to be buying or not. Here we are trading around the 200 week while there are multiple indicators that have flashed showing we are very likely at or very close to the bottom. Meanwhile, the tards on here are saying that BTC is dead or that it's going to 40k and they won't touch it until 50k.

DangerHighVoltage111

You should at least accept BCH, LTC and XMR these are the usual payment blockchains. BTC is slow as hell if it is not LN. For Bitcoin Cash there are these full blown payment options: https://prompt.cash https://nowpayments.io/supported-coins/bitcoin-cash-payments https://www.bitrequest.io And the simplest one I could find: https://scantopay.cash/#/ Just to give you and idea what exists.

Prestigious_Mine_321

⚡ GLOBAL MACRO ALERT: Bitcoin vs Sovereign Liquidity If you are wondering why BTC is struggling to break out despite positive retail sentiment, look closely at the DXY (US Dollar Index) and the US Treasury Net Liquidity flows right now. We are currently witnessing a massive macro divergence. While spot order books show accumulation, global sovereign liquidity expansion has cooled down over the last two weeks. Historically, BTC cannot sustain a massive bull run without a net positive injection from the Fed's Broad Money supply (M2) and a weakening dollar. Watch the macro indicators, not just the 15-minute charts. If DXY holds this resistance and liquidity injections stall, we might see a liquidity sweep of the lower bounds before the next macro leg up. Data doesn't lie.

GetUpAndRunAfterIt

3,588 BTC was only about 0.5% of their position. I would say he's still HODLing pretty heavy. Only time will tell what happens next.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Comments like these remind me that we probably haven't hit max pain yet. It doesn't seem like we're close to goblin town yet when things seem "resilient" and the market is "eager to turn positive". But at the same time, the same news about Iran being back on, then Trump quickly pivoting back to being reluctant to resume full scale attacks, isn't really about BTC stopping its drop quickly, it's about Trump changing the narrative quickly.

TheBakedGod

This is all nonsense. The claim that tether wash trading props up the price of BTC isn't true, and the claim the Howard Lutnick controls Tether isn't true either. Stop believing everything you read on social media

MakCapital

Stop with your facts and common sense. This is Reddit. We've already correctly identified the sender as a Nazi and the transaction a coded tribute to Hitler. Elon musk himself was clearly conducting multiple test transactions and noticed if one was near 0.00139 BTC he could forever pay his respects to his idol. As long as the USD price of BTC never changes. Obviously. Can see from the the up-votes the tribe has spoken. All agree. Please take your pro white supremacy comments elsewhere.

tenor_tymir

Hey Alex! That’s good work. I also watched the video on the BTC launch and have to say, impressive work and style. Very nicely made video with all the cuts and imagery, you talk a little fast but it kind of sounds like if you were rapping, which is cool 😎 Keep it up. 👍

Venij

I don't know what you mean by "convenient metric". Isn't it just the most accurate assessment? It's published on the Strategy website and has been there for quite some time. Strategy has tried to give an opportunity to have a mixed risk/reward portfolio within their own product offering. Basically, betting a very large bank on "We and many investors know bitcoin will have >20% rate of return over the next 25 years. Not everyone can tolerate the volatility. Let's capture that value by providing a mixed bag of risk and reward" * STRF — 10% fixed return, most senior so highest chance of getting your money back if Strategy goes belly-up * STRE — STRF for europe * STRC — ~12% variable, monthly payout (the rest are quarterly), $100 par (NOT $100 pegged price). Yes, higher rate than STRF but less senior. Strategy is trying to pull in money that would otherwise be invested in money markets or whatnot. * STRK — 8% fixed, convertible into 0.1 MSTR shares — yield + BTC upside optionality * STRD — 10% fixed, most junior preferred. I suppose this could be an alternative to STRF, but this product probably doesn't make sense * MSTR essentially mimics bitcoin price, has no "return" in interest / dividends, and has lowest seniority. As much as STRC is a burden on mNAV, it also does not reward those holders in times of BTC gains and instead pushes those gains over to MSTR holders.

C0Y0T3Z

Really? They've had 116 BTC purchases to date. How come the 1st 41(1/3rd of all) buys don't count? Is it because those were all less than the current purchase price so don't fit your "Bitcoin is a trap" narrative? And out of curiosity for those sitting in the back, which of below bests describe your position? 1. Never had Bitcoin or MSTR and never will. Just like to spend/waste your time riding the bandwagon of attempting to influence others that it is bad. 2. Had Bitcoin and/or MSTR but bought high and sold for less, therefore you are permanently on tilt and must attempt to influence others that it is bad.

Efficient-Bed-5990

I'm not a big fan of holding crypto coins but if I did, it would be BTC as most said but with a grain of salt. My risk tolerance is growing thinner with crypto as a whole. BTC has proven so far to be the most reliable one.

MarioWilson122

Yeah, it might not be anymore after how badly it played out last cycle. Usually, it was worth holding a few grand, or even a few hundred dollars, worth of alts prior to the bull run since a good amount of coins would pump enough to make more money than just throwing it into BTC. But now it might be different. I suppose we’ll find out for sure after the next top since Trump won’t be in office doing what he was doing, such as those tariffs that helped drain the market dry. Maybe this time around the president won’t care about crypto, which is actually better for crypto, in my opinion.

andersonle09

Only about 4% in BTC right now. It was a higher percentage before the drop...(Like 8%)

Fun-Analysis-182

Mostly BTC, some index funds so I can pretend I'm diversified, and enough cash to not panic-sell the BTC in months like this one.

Double-LR

I think you are already half correct with that last sentence. BTC still possesses some confidence from the market. The rest of the crypto universe… not so much. Most people with even 1/3 of a functioning brain realize it’s 99.9999999% rug pull operations all the way to the bottom at this point in time. This doesn’t mean you aren’t able to make some profit along the way, but let’s not just ignore the enormous amount of shitcoins out there. A huge amount of completely worthless, functionless and effectively dead coins; it’s like a fucking ocean of shitcoins. And if we want to put a bunch of transparency on the subject from OP while we are at it: the threat BTC faces right now, which it also happens to be extremely vulnerable to, is not quantum computing but emotional, social, geopolitical and stakeholder owned media driven pressure. I am in the camp of people that believe BTC has been heavily manipulated over the last 3 years.

No-Masterpiece2246

That's a convenient metric. I thought STRC was designed to stay at $100 and they'd buy more BTC anytime it went over that price? So if anything, STRC is just a burden on mNAV and MSTR share price too.

arturas_rizen

Isn't this all the incentive to make a quantum resistant BTC and begin the migration? What other option is there? Since freeze or leave is a pointless discussion.

Gangaman666

Who the fuck day trades with BTC?

Venij

Strategy mNAV was historically only measuring MSTR valuation to BTC holdings. The company has made a drastic change in product offering and a lot of value comes from their STR*x* offerings. With those products included mNAV as "Collective stock value to BTC holdings" is at 1.04 today.

unknowngloomth

People use hyperliquid to trade. The platform. People don't use BTC for anything other than holding and expecting price appreciation hyperliquid has a cashflow. BTC doesn't.

46692

This is the main thing that stops me from owning BTC. If you get your shit stolen, nothing you can do. All I’m sayin is if my money market shares dropped below $1, there would be bigger problems on hand.

steve_b

4% of total bitcoin compared to about 12% of BTC which is actively traded. So he doesn't have half the market, just a third.

kbreezy200

I think his biggest flaw is that he made it such a public thing announcing his love for BTC. If he would have keep it on the low he wouldn’t have so many hunters trying to snipe his bag.

gushkaper

Chill, just wait a while for BTC to regain traction? Then everyone will be a genius again and STRC at 100$ Probably in a couple of months.

whisperedstate

Well good thing I own zero BTC. I just like watching the clown show.

unknowngloomth

I hate this kind of posts. Many altcoin did delivery awesome rois last cycle. SOL, XRP, BNB. SOL blew BTC out of water. OP probably picked up so trash coin. Didn't take profits. He's probably underwater and frustrated. Now he thinks BTC is the panacea.

Garrett_CPAatCOS

Similar to a stock portfolio, I recommend keeping the majority of your holdings in the "blue chips" (BTC and ETH) and a smaller allocation in "growth stocks" (altcoins). The exact percentage depends on your risk tolerance, how essential those funds are to your financial goals, and when you expect to need them.

setokaiba22

Because they see value in fiat and not BTC

setokaiba22

Well Bitcoin isn’t ‘real’ money either In answer to OP never.. it’s as mainstream as it will be really. The only reason general public gets involved is to ‘make’ more money/value. When it’s down there’s no interest really. It’s not widely accepted despite it being banded as so and most people prefer fiat which is much much more stable. And I say this as a BTC holder

No-Masterpiece2246

It's indicating a trend reversal, in the next few days BTC will drop below $60k again. This is a key price area because it's the on edge of mining profitability and a also a zone that BTC was stuck in for years in 2023.

No-Masterpiece2246

Alts have decoupled from BTC, which is dropping due to ETF rehypothecation.

No-Masterpiece2246

other than the fact that it wipes out hopes of a BTC pump in the next few months

ChangeHeroOfficial

Bitcoin is the foundation of crypto, no doubt. But writing off every alt is missing the whole point of this industry. Innovation happens across the ecosystem, and strong decentralized projects will always have a place alongside BTC.

Always_working_hardd

Gonna replicate this but I only have 1 BTC, so I'm gonna send it to myself 21 million times.

No-Masterpiece2246

I don't think they could keep mNAV private? They're a publicly traded company with no assets other than their BTC. They have to file an 8k form every month which reports their buying and selling. And yes, mNAV is **MSTR premium over Bitcoin,** but it's less than 1 right now, which means Strategy shares are trading well below the value of their total BTC holdings. That probably means investors don't trust Saylor to act in their best interest with the coin.

tj78492

😂 BTC went from 126K -> 58K, Silver went from 122 -> 58. Its the same shit with less 0s lol

Fraisey

Nothing anyone does like this is effecting the decentralised nature of BTC. Nothing changes bitcoin and that's the point. If people want to use a decentralised network in a centralised way, them they're welcome to. And anyone else who wants interact with bitcoin without anyone being able to do anything about it can do so. 

ParfaitQuick8426

Here's your crystal ball. BTC has a cycle every 4 years, called a halving. When this happens, it has 2 spikes..a small one, then a big one the year after. 2028,2032,2036,2040. 4 years, that's the halving cycle. The year following that 2029,2033,2037,2041 is when the big spike happens. After these 2 years, it goes back dormant until the next spike or (halving). Currently, we're in 2026. The spike happened in 2024, 2025 was the big spike..2026 and 2027 its dormant. There you go, 16 years of the future.

DefinitelyNotAnBot

BTC feels like the safer long term play, but alts can still be worth it if you actually believe in them. Id keep BTC as the main bag and only hold a few alts im really confident in

BestialitySurprise

For one, I think BTC has become too mainstream for it to be as predictable as it once was. Second, we have a big recession coming along from a mountain of debt that's going to wreak havoc on financial markets. When money pulls out of investments, values will drop and that includes BTC. What's about to happen is unprecedented and no chart of the past is going to show, because the most recent comparison we have is 2008, which was before BTC's time, and ironically the reason BTC was created and launched in 2009. I think BTC is going to hold out with strength due to the hardcore believers but $100k+ was not because of hardcore believers; it was propped up by average investors who won't have the money or guts to jump back in for years. So don't hold your breath for another moonshot this year or anytime soon.

Aggressive-Ship2270

BTC, Eth, Sol, Hype and Lighter! Hyper liquid and Lighter actually have a great product and are making CASH!!!

Equity_Role

This isn't financial advice but if home ownership if your goal you are doing it wrong by buying BTC and hoping it will go up.

t0m0hawk

The fallacy of get rich quick. You just end up losing tons of money. I keep saying it, its absurd how closely some of you watch the price. I check in to make sure I know roughly where its at. But if your staring at 5 minute candles holy moly are you ever in for a bad time. Lol the only way people have made money on BTC is by buying and holding. Those who break that mold are just getting lucky. All luck runs out.

Blade_Runner_69

I'm more or less a BTC maxi, but I don't hate crypto if it serves a purpose. So it has to be Monero, for the privacy. Unfortunately 95% of the crypto space is trash especially centralised, or meme tokens.

AssPunisher6969

Your post screams "I'm investing beyond my means". Stop spending so much on it if youre that poor right now. No one know what will happen short term with BTC. But you know you need money short term. That's the problem here.

BeautifulScientist33

Bro, in 18 month, BTC will see 120K again. This will definitely will be

The_Bitcoin_Act

Worth separating the mechanism from the narrative here. Bitcoin’s correlation with risk assets (Nasdaq especially) has been running high for months, so any geopolitical shock that spikes oil and pushes yields around is going to hit BTC through the “risk-off” channel almost mechanically, it’s not really a crypto-specific story.

punppis

I have a domain at A.com - its my very active bank My friend has domain B.com - wealthy investor ”So the B.com has not done shit in years its probably insecure - we should freeze the assets so they cant be stolen.” What the fuck im missing here? All the quantum stuff is complete nonsense because the internet will be fucked at that point. If you could freeze the coins or require some kind of activity, the value of BTC to me and many others is a round zero.

t0m0hawk

Why are we constantly rushing to make a post like this everything BTC goes up or down a fraction? If you are looking at the price this closely and you are taking cues from these price fluctuations... you are not prepared to deal the asset's volatility.

AdOk1101

ADA is the only serious protocol.  ETH is still playing tech catch up to ADA.  BTC was first, thats its only reason why people buy it even though its the most obsolete tech.

Aanetz

XMR. Much like BTC, it's not going away. Not with all the surveillance state & tech giants snooping every faucet of our lives.

Exact_Release5966

Can't argue with BTC. Do you see it as digital gold, or do you think it'll evolve into something more?

JuxtaposeLife

I bought heavily at low $60k in Feb. I've continued to the last few months. I have 8 buys below $65k this year. I suspect many many others are doing the same. Which is how a bottom forms and the front running of October flood back into BTC starts.

Ok_Ad_5894

So BTC isnt safe so what the purpose anymore?

Funnellboi

BTC or ETH is clearly the obvious answer. However, if you want to "venture" out into lower cap coins, I would say any of RENDER, CRV or TEL would be my choices.

AltruisticYam7670

Wouldn’t that be the end of it all? Maybe satoshi is just waiting for BTC to go up more and just does not touch it till then?

Wadafak19

BTC

blaxx0r

if we may earn native yield, probably SOL because i think we can recoup the initial investment, which i would then put into BTC if straight hodl, BTC frw

phaattiee

The longer the “mild” bull markets go for the larger the moon will be, every passing year BTC doesn’t just crash to nothing is another year it’s store of value as a speculative asset solidifies and the less risky it appears to more conservative investors (which are by in large the ones with the largest pockets).

MinimalGravitas

Not my choice, but probably a better option than SOL or BTC.

MinimalGravitas

Holding SOL long term will be looked back on exactly like we look back on EOS, NEO etc. BTC might be fine in 10 years, but it faces 2 long term risks, the security budget falling and the threat to old UTxOs (potentially about 30% of BTC) from quantum computers. There is no way to know when either of these will result in an attack, but there is also no sign of any meaningful consensus from the bitcoin community about what to do about either risk (other than trying to avoid talking about them). So that leaves ETH. Since the move to PoS there is no risk to the security budget, and a fairly simple analysis of addresses shows that less than 0.5% of ETH is in accounts vulnerable to the early private key hacking type of quantum attacks that threaten bitcoin. On the other hand, heads of literally the biggest financial institutions in the world are currently talking about moving the legacy financial system onto 'one common blockchain' and have been deploying tokenization projects to Ethereum. https://ethereumadoption.com/built-on-ethereum/ There is more value in RWAs on Ethereum than on every other chain combined; more value in DeFi on Ethereum than on every other chain combined; and more value in stablecoins on Ethereum than on every other chain combined. The answer to your question seems pretty simple.

DrSpeckles

Yea I reckon you might be right. I doubt BTC will be worth much at all, its just a useless HODL coin and if thats what you are after youd invest elsewhere. Has to be one on which lots of other things are built. SOL or possibly ETH.

Alatarlhun

No. It is not proof BTC is successful as payments. It is a pro-bitcoin reddit thread with anecdotes and opinions. Even inside that thread, the evidence is mixed with people conceding LN uptake is lower than expected, nodes have declined, and self-custodial Lightning is painful to run.

Survivaleast

Probably ETH. Have been messing around in that ecosystem for the past 10 years already. Found more use out of it than anything else, and the staking has been nice. Close 2nd BTC, but just for holding since there isn’t much to do with it otherwise. BTC is a rich person’s game at this point. To 3x or 4x from it we’d need big big numbers from the next bull run if there ever is one. Most commoners aren’t going to buy BTC worth hundreds of thousands, so it’s dependent on institutional accumulation - which seems counter to the point of its creation.

Forward-Ad-6688

BTC hands down

BTC mining is pretty centralized tbh

unknowngloomth

Why are you wasting time on this maxi regard? I will tell you something. Avoid BTC maxis and buttcoiners like the plague. Both of these people are regarded as fuck. BTC maxis are perma bull and buttcoiners are perma bear. This maxi regard assumes people can't make money off of alts which is false. You can as long as you don't fall in love with any coin..

R4ID

>Sure but how long and how much resources would be required to crack? https://quantumai.google/static/site-assets/downloads/cryptocurrency-whitepaper.pdf Google published it thinks theres a 10% in the first year of gen 1 Quantum Computer that it will crack ECDSA. but it also states that future generations will drastically reduce resources required by almost 20,000X cheaper and total duration could get as low as 9 to 12 minutes. So the real thing is, since most early BTC are spread out over multiple wallets, what's the best strategy to make the most profit and how does that affect us/the market. Essentially if you can crack a wallet but it takes 1 full year, its gonna be rare and not as catastrophic right away, but if it scales quickly and you can eventually get something more reasonable like say a week, day, hour or like in the paper 9-12 minutes. If nobody else has cracked it yet, do you just secretly keep going down the rich list and cracking each of them but not moving the coins just yet. Like i think if you stacked up the keys to say the top 2000 richest wallets from that era. Then Opened a 100x leveraged short position while dumping all the coins at the same time. The profit could potentially just be "all the money" essentially.
