A) musk has proved he’s an idiot B) why would there be a correlation between a bullish economy and a failing asset like BTC C) see A

NotCoolFool

Yeah Trump and his cronies being involved have really lowered the appeal of BTC even though I’m sure they will pump it for themselves somehow….

Santa bought some BTC ETF too

Lightning was born partly because of it.

Historically, Bitcoin operates without people believing in it. The number of times BTC was declared dead is evidence of that. Bitcoin will keep reaching new ATHs, because this seems to be the only way possible. It doesn't seem it could be otherwise. Continuously reaching ATHs seems the only way things can be.

Ignore the people parroting "it doesn't work". Download Muun - it's open source. Try it with like $5. Send $5 worth of BTC to your Muun wallet, then send Lightning to something else, like Kraken deposit or even the LNTipBot on here. Send tiny transactions back and forth. Send yourself the entire balance back as regular bitcoin to your normal wallet. It. Just. Works. You don't keep big money on a Lightning wallet, just change you might want to spend in a day. Like a wallet.

qwerasdfgthy

Importantly, there's still far and away too little transaction throughput to support full global adoption of BTC, even just as a store of value and utilizing Lightning Network for settlements Either the BTC protocol would have to update to accommodate bigger/faster blocks, which I don't find all too unrealistic, considering we will have more commercial computing power in the future and full adoption of BTC may take us rather far into the future at any rate Or we would have to rely on custodial institutions to be able to invest in BTC, who perhaps would be kept in check by how easily anybody could spin up a competitor institution on the same terms as entrenched actors, and the free market function of reputation, which ultimately will decide who profits or who doesn't when it comes to serving mass numbers of people

letsburn00

Last I checked, FTX has theoretically paid back everyone. When they imploded, Bitcoin was worth much less. The amounts that were owed were totalled in US dollars. When BTC rose enough, the value at the day in US was say $60k, since it had risen to $90k, these guys will say there was always enough money. Nevermind that they had put in crypto that had accumulated plenty of cash if they had actually received it.

Impossible_Size3205

Hold on…wasn’t BTC meant to be 100k by now

POV: you didn’t buy BTC early

atomicdomb

1) Just to provide some clarity for number 1, you only have to open one channel, after which you should be able to route payments to anyone on the network (the same way you route info on the internet while only being connected with your one computer). So after opening one channel you can pay any other entity on Lightning Network (very cheaply) which 100% is worth the tx fee (not gas savings because BTC doesn't use gas)

Who said Trump gonna help BTC up. It is opposite!

In 2010 you could set up CPU mining BTC node and claim 50 btc block reward multiple times

Optimal-Presence-786

I did some digging on the green address and it checks out on chain as having 0.1 BTC with a Genesis date of March of 2014. No activity or redemptions. Just wondering how I’ll be able to prove ownership and send those Satoshis to my actual wallet.

CryptoBullishX

Just make sure it's a "cold" wallet and not just a "cold" piece of metal—it’s a cool desk piece as long as you aren’t paying BTC prices for the physical souvenir!

qwer1627

I sorta despise these triangle generalizations that fail anytime an actual system has to be integrated, as it is an instrument of sales and not one applicable to case-by-case requirements of actual deliverables (which demand certain ratios between the three hypothetical sides) so I’ll answer the snarky question with a snarky question I genuinely do have: would you mind drawing your impression of this triangle implemented in BTC L1 network and that of SWIFT or ACH? Please include units and magnitudes for the values of the sides so we understand the scale; at some point I will reply with my own impressions and justify them accordingly; should help us both understand the gaps in each other’s knowledge and understand respective misunderstandings; will be fun regardless

stellarfirefly

Anybody who has to ask "but when?" may wish to rethink their time horizon when investing in Bitcoin versus their mental health. They probably would have had to be institutionalized had they done so in 2018. And yet, look where BTC is now compared to 2018.

Small_Appearance2014

Short term, low holiday volume usually means chop and fakeouts. For now, it’s patience until BTC shows its hand.

need-not-worry

What's fiat maxi? Fiat is never an investment choice for anyone. If you want to compare BTC to something at least pick bond maxi or gold maxi or something.

NgBarut

If you already use Coinbase a lot and want flat high BTC rewards, the Coinbase card is better, but Gemini’s card is nicer if you want no fee and strong category-based rewards.

phoebecatesboobs

The market cap growth balances that out. Now it's bigger with more liquidity, so the whales grew along with the market cap. There was also a bunch of leverage available earlier and news had a much larger impact on price than it does now. People always think BTC (or any market) is going to do a certain thing based on the past, but it doesn't and then they want to come up with reasons why it's different now.

Confident-Echo-2686

Worst gift? My distant Mami gifted me a fluorescent, sequined, blindingly neon-green Sherwani( a dress) intended for my cousin’s wedding. I’m an IT engineer who works from home in shorts. She said, 'Beta(son), wear this, you’ll look like a hero and maybe attract a rishta (proposal).' Kraken, I looked like a Radioactive Paanwalla. The sequins scratched my neck so bad I looked like I was attacked by a feral cat. When I wore it for 10 minutes to be polite, the power went out in the neighborhood, and my family literally used me as a glow stick to find the inverter. Please turn this fashion crime into 1 BTC so I can move out.😁🫡

Yo, I still own 300 million sats. Just derisked by selling a little bit to reduce my BTC exposure to less than 7% of total portfolio. I will sell some more if BTC exceeds 10% of my portfolio.

YantsyUnwound

The size of the utxo doesn't matter. We need BTC to be more distributed regardless of size.

I just can’t wait until I can remove something else from my monthly budget so I can add to my BTC DCA….i need to accumulate faster.

JohnMcafee4coffee

I wrapped 4 BTC under Fantom That went very well IMO stay away from any wrapped BTC

Active-Rope9301

A friend of mine told me this story. He bought a bunch of BTC around 2017. Then things changed and suddenly he didn’t have income indefinitely (layoffs). He found some part time work for a while. Then the pandemic happened. His wife still had a job, but she put a ton of pressure on him to make the rough ride easier. He begged her to keep the BTC locked up. She said no. They argued. Things got really bad between them. Finally he capitulated and sold his BTC during a shitty downturn. He made money on the investment, but not as much as he hoped or could have. When BTC crossed $100K in 2024, they got into a huge argument that lingered for days. Then they had another fight where she blamed him for taking it out. “If you were so sure, why did you listen to me?” That drove him up the wall. So I guess my answer is…is there a stress free way to invest for you, the OP? As in, money you know for a fact you won’t need anytime soon? That’s the way. Anything else invites frustration.

Every-Language-8166

Probably going a bit lower, but who cares. BTC isn’t a short term play.

intelw1zard

This is a reminder that the fat fuck Mark Kraples came out of the Mt Gox hack still owning billions worth of BTC and could have personally repaid everyone back if he really had wanted to.

Lantjiao69

This ain't pre 2020 BTC, bud. Delulu much?

Blockchainauditor

There is a sister subreddit BitcoinBeginners Many people here would sat that if your primary goal is "so that \[you\] can make some money in \[your\] 20's", you are not the candidate for BTC.

hk-hulk

It hurts, when you care about your investments. I used to have many BTC before 2014, then sold most of them in a good price and bought then back after the price jumped high. Loop again and again... It really brought mental stress to my life.

jdobem

Just so I understand they had 2 billion in BTC and they now report they have 1 billion in BTC ? Did they sell or are they misreporting?

Appropriate_Roof_862

That really depends on your financial situation and your fault tolerance on making mistakes. If you’re ok with throwing money or an opportunity down the drain then I wouldn’t worry about the research. But that to me would be ignorance and hurting yourself. Any level or % in my opinion deserves the research. Lots of misinformation out there and believe me there are lots of people giving bad or omitted advice that will benefit themselves. Form your own opinion of what the white papers say and what information you can gather from multiple resources about BTC. Read everything from the far fetched beliefs and tech BTC people to the nay sayers and nonbelievers. What they say collectively intersects at a certain point.

Magical-Mycologist

Totally want this corrupt family owning more BTC - I bet it’s good for the overall coin LOL.

But you have to laugh that anything above $80k is considered market doom. Remember when we were going to $12k in 2022? Remember how excited we were when it reversed from the $16k low and quickly after reclaimed $30k? I distinctly remember the day BTC crossed $80k and the community was ecstatic. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to buy BTC anymore because it was so expensive. Now, less than 2 years later, a drop to $80k reflects a global FUD crisis. One day, we will be reading posts from new buyers in despair that they bought at $410k and the price is now $370k. Merry Christmas, all!

jpric155

I've heard and it seems plausible that a lot of large Bitcoin owners still believed in the Bitcoin 4 year cycle and instead of selling and taking the tax hit (and giving up their BTC). So instead of selling, they sold covered calls probably very ITM at levels they thought were possible to reach (80-90k) by the end of the year. This would help push the price down. Now those calls are expiring on Friday which will release the ceiling.

CrosstrekTrail

It only looks that way if you view BTC as an investment. I don’t. I consider mine an emergency fund and a better paying alternative to a savings account.

CriticalCobraz

**Summary:** Trump Media & Technology Group recently purchased 451 Bitcoin for approximately $40.3 million, increasing its total holdings to 11,542 BTC valued at over $1 billion. This acquisition is part of the company's broader crypto treasury strategy, which includes plans for a Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF with Crypto.com as custodian. Key Points: * The company previously reported around $2 billion in Bitcoin and digital assets earlier in 2025 * Trump Media stock ($DJT) surged \~42% last week following an all-stock merger announcement with TAE Technologies, valuing the combined entity at over $6 billion * The merger shifts the company's focus toward fusion energy to power AI operations * The company is majority-owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and led by CEO Devin Nunes

The only Lightning "problem" Liquid solves is the requirement to run your own node and open/close channels. This comes at the cost of trusting "the federation", which creates a centralization problem. Liquid doesn't fix Lightning, it only favors user convenience over decentralization. It decreases friction by increasing trust. I prefer Aqua and Misty Breez to a purely centralized exchange, but it's still not as decentralized as Lightning or on-chain BTC.

hawkeye224

If they are risk averse they have to allocate some funds to BTC to hedge against BTC flipping gold.

Leading-Ad8145

BTC is still young but it is good to already have BTC historians like yourself validating the record. Nice!$!

GoodBugMessenger

Will BTC go up? Who knows? Should you put all your money in it? No, be sure to set some aside so you can buy the dip 👍

TrevBTC36

Perfect, you already have more than 0.01 BTC. Think about how many people on the planet have or will ever have that much. It seems insignificant now, it's only $1000. Then you keep studying BTC, doing dollar-cost averaging and forgetting about the price, and while you keep adding to it over time with each red candle (the journey is long, 4 years to start), you're working against the biggest black swan: your own mind and anxiety. Do yoga or practice stoicism, I don't know, and forget about it. If you trade, the algorithms will wipe you out. Don't try to compete against the machines; the house always wins.

jwz9904

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

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

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 👹💫

coinfeeds-bot

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.
