BTC

Porcellanidae

just send me one of the initial halving rewards of 50 BTC, and I will confirm to everyone that you are satoshi

wallyone123

Agree. USD printed forever and worth less as it goes on. BTC has no path other than higher.

DiddysAfterparty

History shows BTC extremely green during rate hiking cycle 🔁

BlazingPalm

Rough AI estimate of 650W 40TH mode puts it at $2.00 or \~ 2500 sats per day currently. Run it 200 days a year and you’ve got 500,000 sats. Maybe .01 BTC over 2 years. That ain’t bad!

Doritos707

$100k is not that big. Once 1 BTC is worth a few millions then we are talking

BetterFunny6883

Nope, in future, 0.01 BTC will be able to buy you a house in the US easily. Dollar value shall keep falling but BTC value shall keep rising. The reason being finite supply (21 Million) versus infinite supply (dollar). Take the example of gold, it was $100 an ounce 50 years back and is headed towards $10000 an ounce down the line but then 1 kilo of gold can buy you many luxury items even a house while the same could not even buy you a house back in the old days

totalmarc

i think it was BTC3L/ETH3L.

flushaway4690

Disagree, odds of a hike were <40% back when BTC was at $65k. Odds after Jackson Hole went up to 60-65%, but BTC rose to high 70s. Days before the hike, near-certainty odds and no movement. No model goes that far off the rails.

entityinvesting

Ohhh to be a newb! The feeling of your first pump and the road to 1BTC >. Enjoy the ride young bulls, walk or run down that hill. Doesn’t matter, you will find the answer at the bottom. 😉

Xethos

I’m sorry to say what we wanted from Bitcoin didn’t happen and at this point won’t. The uber rich have dug in its now it’s just another commodity to be traded for them. The adoption for every day use isn’t going to happen with the fees now, and the common person can’t even store their coin worry free because no one will pass proper legislation over it But we didnt want government involvement that was the point…the Idea was great, it just did not work out at all like we all hoped I for one am done holding wood what I had. It’s been fun but I honestly don’t see how BTC now actually has any value at all.

Cannister7

Wow, that sucks. So they stole it from him, really! How can the government prosecute him for stealing BTC , when the person he stole it from said he could keep it and then claim it, when it funny being to them in the first place?! Have to hope he at least moved a chunk to another wallet!

mando_number5

BTC to 50k by Christmas

Brief_Lettuce_571

This BTC heater is kind of silly. Heat pumps are great for heating and make more economic sense.

New-Plastic9879

You winks have wanted to be among the old school cypherpunks online. I heard about BTC via Hal Finney on an email discussion list I was a member of at the time.

AAAdamKK

Define original. I've seen this family guy scene used as a BTC meme for years

Key_Independent_818

That is beautiful. It sheds a tear in my eyes. You forgot the bears thinking that its going to hit the bottom in October lol. But this is a perfect BTC meme

GroundbreakingPage41

This sub is all ETH and then BTC, been that way for years. ETH boys still holding out for their bags to pump.

hollyyshitmen101

this is a actually a perfect BTC meme

Impressive-Fig-9532

Not biased at all... /s "If you want me to be completely and totally honest here, about what I actually believe, I think that after just doing a quick Google search, it seems as though some high net worth individuals and hedge fund managers got together and decided they were going to buy Zcash and disclose their holdings, and then that got the other market participants which were mostly retail to join in on the fun, figuratively speaking." right.... What exactly do you think bitcoin is? First few years of bitcoin it went no where. Then Winklevoss, Silbert, Naval, the usual VC suspects got involved in 2012-2013.... Then the corrupt El Salvador government, Blackrock, Michael Saylor the biggest dotcom scammer billionaire creating a ponzi like financial instrument to pump billions into it to bring it to 100K You think all these coins out there, ETH, BTC, SOL, BNC, etc are where they are because of the "community" and not being pumped billions by institutions?

ve3gvy

Me? I am still waiting for BTC to hit $20 so I can buy two. There is no “there” there, but I am willing to waste $40 on it, just for the memories.

cuteman

Personally I am of the opinion that BTC is a product of NSA considering almost all crypto discussion before BTC is from that area of expertise. Lots of ways to defeat legacy technology both now and in the future

Key_Independent_818

So you dont know how to read charts then? 8th of march 2024 BTC hit its previous ATH. The halving occured April 20th 2024. First time BTC hit the ATH before the halving and everyone expected it to hit after. You should probably stay away from buying crypto

CyanDew

the bigger case to make is how Bitcoin will be valued against goods, commodities, services, and other Bitcoin. in other words, how much value will the world assign 1 BTC? how much would 10 sats get you? its abstract today, but more concrete in a world where the alternative is no longer feasible.

Cannister7

Doubled the BTC or it doubled in value?

Icy_Dragonfruit__

With BTC moving sideways, DCA feels like a less stressful approach

cuteman

As I call there's still an ongoing scandal with hardware wallets stealing people's BTC wholesale from under their noses so the idea that BTC is somehow infallible or beyond scams is not based in reality.

TIF1993

20 years is the part that really stands out to me. If the goal is long-term strategic accumulation, locking the BTC for that long makes the commitment pretty clear. The self-custody language is interesting too. Curious to see how the “buy more without new spending” part actually works.

b1mm3rl1f3

Nope, BTC does not care. 9 rate hikes between 2016-2018 and BTC still did 10x. Rates do not set the direction, nor does the clarity act rejection as you can see, nor does the “4y capitulation" an energy crisis or an AI crisis. These are all looming triggers, but the Bollinger bands are squeezing very tightly. BTC soon to explode

TIF1993

anything can happen with BTC

SkewerSk8r

BTC such a fascinating tech that keeps evolving.... 💯

fresheneesz

> No reason at all to spend BTC and rebuy it unless you just want to give exchanges more fee revenue. Many merchants who accept bitcion give discounts that cover those fees. And a really good reason is that if people actually transact in bitcoin, many more merchants will start accepting it, and that would make bitcoin's value go way way up. Even if all you care about is your cold storage bitcoin going up in value, spend and replace helps do that.

scwt

You'd get more bitcoin by buying a standard heater and using the leftover money buying your own BTC.

quintavious_danilo

Let’s face it, a standalone BTC miner won’t mine any BTC neither.

migueliiito

Most investors say BTC is high risk and that’s what matters in this context

SatisfactionFinal287

Many people expect a ~$40k low in October, but we're nearly there already, Clarity Act failed and the Fed is increasing the rates, yet BTC is still at ~$76k despite all of this 'bad' news.

matthegc

Who says BTC is high risk? I can argue that it’s low risk just with a lot of volatility, and volatility is good.

tenor_tymir

I assume a well isolated and centrally heated home is more efficient than a standalone BTC miner, no?

ilovesaintpaul

Yup. BTC be BTC...no matter what. I've seen this too many times to get too stressed out about it.

SeriousGains

About as funny as $75k BTC.

Impressive-Fig-9532

retail? The ones who moved BTC first were the VCs, the winklevoss, barry silberts in the early 2013-2017 time period. Without them btc would of at best be like monero, floating around a few hundred dollars perpetually.

Accomplished_Fix5702

Spending it and HODLing it are not very compatible. Perhaps when it is stable enough for people to be paid their wages and salaries in it. Fiat inflation is slow and reasonably predictable, people roughly know where they stand for everyday use. Plus the whole arrangement of BTC is too geeky for ordinary folk. I don't know how it is possible to overcome that.

lynchrw

maybe you can compile a list of merchants who accept BTC that would be a good project wouldnt you think?

Ok-Refrigerator7284

Anybody talking trash right now is CRAZY!! This could go either way; big crash or big jump...or what is very possible is that all the ETF influence will keep BTC moving in a narrow sideways range for years and years!! That will also be a big "lose" for most BTC investors. SO NOBODY better get cocky or they could really end up looking foolish!!

Casp3r_ghOst

From where the liquidity will come for BTC to pump to 150+ levels?

harymo-20

Keep it and buy more when it dips Not financial advise though... If you need the money now maybe selll a very small %% and keep it in USDT just in case you need to cash then you don't sell your BTC else you can borrow against it.. Binance has lowest rate on crypto loan's.. Another thing stake it .. so you can get something out of this.. check out on Binance earn or Nexo

harymo-20

I believe BTC is the future

mhem7

In 2018, people cracked jokes about the same thing. Then BTC dropped about 50% in a matter of days immediately before the bull cycle. In 2022, people cracked jokes about the same thing. Then BTC dropped about 25% in a matter of days immediately before the bull cycle. I never believed in this mythical 40k number, but I'm betting a lot on BTC taking one final dip before the bull run. BTC is, if anything, reliably consistent and predictable.

harymo-20

No one knows... But from my observation BTC may go down for couple of weeks.. so the best thing is do DCA if it dips take the opportunity buy more and be ready to hold for long-term I believe one day BTC will hit $200k Hope I'm not day dreamer

AutisticJaguar4380

I will only trade my BTC for 1 million loafs of bread. 🥖

TechnicianExpress774

The price has been virtually stagnant for nearly a year; what’s wrong with considering other revenue streams by moving assets around? You write as if you know me and are certain I don’t understand BTC, when in reality I’m someone who knows what they’re talking about—yet also knows there’s always something new to learn from anyone. I use Reddit to find new sources of inspiration and, potentially, investment opportunities. The world isn't quite how you imagine it; there’s always a piece of the puzzle missing

TechnicianExpress774

R u a millionaire now with BTC? Did u’r plan work?

Turbulent-Land-5664

BTC actually loses supply every year through lost coins/wallets.

Aazimoxx

Because the ledger of a privacy coin like Monero is not publicly transparent - only the parties to a transaction get its details. So in the simplest sense, if you have Alice send Bob tainted Bitcoin and get Monero in exchange, then Alice sends that Monero to Steve, Steve has no practical way to tell the tainted BTC had anything to do with that. Steve may then go and convert that Monero back into BTC via his own exchange, for example. Because blockchain and cross-chain analyses are a thing, if each of those transactions were say ~138k worth, and transferred in one lump sum each time within a short period of time, then it would be possible to surface a strong statistical likelihood that the ~133k or so BTC that Steve just got from his exchange, is in fact the 'value' of that initial ~138k of tainted BTC that Alice attempted to launder, minus the various fees and conversion margins that took a chunk out of it along its journey. This is simply from analysis of public BTC activity, with no insight into internal exchange records, or privacy coin transactions, which are opaque. If instead Steve held onto some of that Monero and transacted with it in various other amounts, such as converting 50k to BTC and withdrawing it to his bank account, spending 10k with a computer store via bitpay, and converting 20k to ETH to send to his brother's wallet to pay back a loan, and leaving the remaining 60k in his Monero wallet, then the chances of any chain analysis tying together Steve's money and the initial tainted BTC Alice interacted with, is close to nil.

lynchrw

While Satoshi's white paper describes Bitcoin as currency, it appears that the market and indeed the law/regulatory agencies and determine that BTC is an asset. There are at least a couple of barriers that stand in the way. one of the speed of transaction, main chain takes let me know 10 minutes to process so want to wait 10 minutes to pay for a cup of coffee Yes, I know there is a lightning Network but lately network has its own logistical issues as well. very difficult to manage and then there's the liquidity issues. corn volatility also can affect that price of coffee greatly. one day you thought you made a profit of 20% and next day because of the price dropped you lost 20%. volatility has to be minimized for it to be currency. and because BTC is treated like an asset if you go and buy that coffee and you spend some amount of Bitcoin on that coffee you could trigger a capital gains tax event. it's probably several other reasons as well, too many to discuss in detail in this forum. I think one of us could go is Bitcoin continues to be an asset or a store value and maybe the stable coin becomes the digital currency. just my opinion that's all.

ReconeHelmut

“4-year cycle bros”? WTF is that? One year ago BTC was $125k. Why do you think it’s $75k today?

Impressive-Fig-9532

The truth that this sub doesn't realize is that EVERY asset in this world is controlled by the big instutitions and giant venture funds. Do you think BTC would of hit 100K if it only consisted of millions of retail wallets holding $500 bucks of bitcoin? OR do you think it hit because a hand full of mega institutions holding trillions of assets went in with billions of dollars? Zcash is the most obvious example. A LOT of institutions are going on on it, yet this sub fails to realize what made BTC successful is what is exactly making zcash successful.

Fluid-Cardiologist96

Ja, die Blockbelohnung fällt und der Energieaufwand pro neuem BTC steigt. Das ist kein Bug, sondern ein Feature. Es bedeutet langfristig, dass der Marktpreis von Bitcoin hoch genug sein muss, damit die Security Budget (Subsidy + Fees) weiterhin ausreicht, um das Netzwerk zu sichern. Genau das ist einer der stärksten strukturellen Argumente für einen deutlich höheren Bitcoin-Preis über die kommenden Jahrzehnte – und nicht dagegen. Hausaufgaben sind gut. Aber man sollte dabei die ganze Gleichung anschauen und nicht nur die eine Seite.

ArchiMode25

Low for BTC Dec 2018, Nov 2022. Idk why people put so much emphasis on Oct for the low. 2026 low should more realistically Nov-Dec.

Fluminer T3 is louder but more efficient. Avalon Q is quieter. Pretty much plug and play. Economics: two way to look at it. 1. depends on your price for electricity and 'heater' use. 2. (the way I heat my house) I get 'free' heat after my sunk cost for miner. I live in a colder climate and heat my house 6 months a year. I can either pay for natural gas (no return) or pay for electricity (and the value of BTC mined > amount I pay for electricity). The smaller miners are more hobby and won't heat your space.

Chavydog

There’s been a couple times with BTC that I thought I was right, but I was wrong. But later I ended up being right. I think you forget that bitcoin does 30k moves on the regular like they’re nothing

tenor_tymir

I usually let it amount to 0.2-0.5BTC before I send it into cold storage. It’s just a personal preference though.

Thaddaeus_Undergrade

terp_studios

No. Spend the bad money, save the good money. No reason at all to spend BTC and rebuy it unless you just want to give exchanges more fee revenue.

Key_Independent_818

Well in the last cycle BTC hit its previous ATH of $69k before the halving. That was the first time thats happened. Things are speeding up and the bottom continues getting shallower. Its never going to be exactly the same forever

Key_Independent_818

bbatardo

I am not saying it will, and I hope it won't since I am holding, but on Oct 7th 2025 BTC was around 124k and then Nov 22nd was 84k. A lot can happen in 6 weeks. which would still technically be October lol.

IgotthatNEWNEW

I also somehow doubled my BTC once while SR was around, I only doubled $1200 and I didn't have any idea how I did it but it was nice at the time. I bought more drugs.

JoesRealAccount

Nothing has to happen. BTC is just random bullshit. I already bought but if it goes to 40k next month (which I think it will) I'm remortgaging and going all in.

Peturio

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://aentralis.io) (free accounts are available so you can play around with the scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the eight positions are worth about $29.9K. XRP is 48% of that value and ETH is 32%. The other six coins together make up the remaining 20%. Whether this portfolio will make 2x or 3x, who really knows? But it's possible to measure how wide the range of outcomes is for these coins. I simulated one year forward from their current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In that simulation 14% of the paths end the year at 2x or more, and 4% end at 3x or more. In the same simulation 47% of the paths end below today's value, and 11% end below half of it. Four out of ten paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year. If the coming year resembles a reshuffle of the last one, which was a bear market, 1% of the paths reach 2x and about half of the paths end below half of today's value. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. A 3x within one year needs a strong bull market on top of what the simulation assumes. Despite the portfolio holding eight coins, in reality it behaves like one position. Over the past year XRP, ETH, BTC and SOL had pairwise correlations between 0.83 and 0.90. In the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1 every coin in your portfolio fell between 50% and 88%. That period on your current holdings gives a loss of 64%, which would take $29.9K down to about $10.8K. BTC alone lost 51% in the same period. Most commenters told you to swap the XRP for BTC, so I ran that version as well. The loss in the worst 5% of one-year outcomes goes from 61% to 55%. The share of paths with a drawdown of at least 50% goes from 41% to 29%. The share of paths that end at 3x goes from 4% to 2%. The swap lowers the risk somewhat, and it lowers the chance of a 3x as well. The portfolio would still rise and fall with the rest of the crypto market.

_Stylite

BTC has a 70-90% correlation with the market during risk off scenarios eg market decline or a bubble bursting. You are right though, the same correlation has not been happening on market upside. This should temper your expectations for a massive bull run

Peturio

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://sentralis.io) (free accounts are available, so you can play around with the different scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the five positions are worth about $49K, split HYPE 36%, SOL 26%, PUMP 19%, LIT 12% and SKR 7%. LIT and SKR have less than a month of price history in our data, which is too short to model. The risk numbers below therefore cover the HYPE, SOL and PUMP positions only,( 81% of the portfolio). Several commenters treated this portfolio as one single altcoin bet, and the data does not fully support that view. Over the past year the pairwise correlations between HYPE, SOL and PUMP were between 0.51 and 0.66, while BTC, ETH and SOL were at 0.86 to 0.90 with each other over the same period. The difference showed in the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1. SOL fell 66% and PUMP fell 78% in that period, while HYPE gained 29%. That period on your current weights gives a loss of 26%, against 51% for BTC alone. The 26% loss in depends entirely on the rise of HYPE. If HYPE had fallen as much as SOL did, the same replay would show a loss of about 69%. The cost of holding these three coins is volatility. Together they run at about 81% annualized volatility, which is close to double the 43.5% of BTC. I simulated one year forward from current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In the worst 5% of simulated outcomes the three positions lose 69% or more. Seven out of ten simulated paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year, and one in five goes through a drawdown of 70%. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. You wrote that you can manage a drawdown and would start to DCA into it again, so the drawdown sizes matter for how much cash you keep aside. One in four simulated paths ends the year at double the starting value or more. 97% of those winning paths still went through a drawdown of at least 30% on the way. A 30% drawdown is therefore what this portfolio does even in a good year, and a 50% drawdown is what it does in most years.

Potatotornado20

BTC and the market have not been correlated at all since Sept last year

_Stylite

If the AI bubble pops the market is going down and investors will be risk off and pull cash from BTC and BTC proxies. BTC and the market have been directly correlated for a while now

TechnicianExpress774

Initially, my plan was to build a long-term portfolio through small, targeted investments. Over the past year, given the market stagnation, I’ve paid less attention to it and lost some interest. My investments are already diversified, but for some time now, I’ve been wondering if it might make more sense to move my BTC holdings elsewhere. I’m a very self-assured person, but I love drawing inspiration from other ideas—especially ones that might be more profitable.

Hot_Positive7292

er not a dollar amount. Like every 0.01 BTC goes out no matter what price is doing. Fees are bad some days so I batch couple small buys together before moving but never keep more than 0.02 sitting there. Exchanges are not wallets, lost like 300 bucks few years ago when one froze withdrawals for weeks, never again

AsherHayes6

Never move micro-amounts. Every $20 withdrawal becomes a tiny UTXO that will cost you $50 in network fees to spend during a bull market. Build up to at least 0.01 BTC or 1,000,000 sats on the exchange before hitting withdraw.

AsherHayes6

Stocks are at all-time highs because the Fed is inflating the bubble. BTC lagging just means the launchpad is taking longer to load.

TheVeloRebel

Dear lord this why BTC's design matters IMO BTC can learn a lot from other types of projects which will keep it as no1!! HAWK just got wreckt (key recovery reduced to SVP in dimension n/2 +1, security levels basically halved and the team withdrew from NIST). So the new shiny lattice assumption looks great for years of human review... all until better AI crypt0-analysis shows up and forces blow-ups that kill the performance advantages!!! It's the same pattern we've seen with early RSA sizes, MOV on some curves, SIKE, Rainbow, etc. King BTC (amongst all the other shit chains) hard-code a single sig scheme into consensus. Moving to PQ means a high-stakes, network-wide change, and they have to coordinate a soft/hard fork to trigger the change, everyone's gonna have to live with the consequences if it gets broken later whilst all arguing in between..reminds me of the 'big blocks debate actually', messy. Remember those days? Massive arguments and banter. Squeaky bum time on that decision, I wonder who will cop the blame if it fails. If shitcoins or BTC rushes that process, we risk exactly the irony described. The secp256k1 is still fine while the “quantum-safe” replacement is toast. Satoshi picked a solid classical curve so BTC has been in line so far IMO. If you look at already thought-out projects boasting the 'crypto agility' narrative, and already post quantum coding , they’re designed from day one so that “lucky” isn’t a long-term strategy. BTC learns from others at times. This will be obvious. We can wait for the dust to settle on post-quantum candidates, use the most conservative options first (hash-based), and still have a clean upgrade path when stronger, more efficient algorithms finally prove themselves. That’s the real difference for BTC, it has to get the post-quantum migration right the first time. This is key. BTC will learn to have Crypto agility in the future IMO

xXRabbitInRedditXx

Dont listen to financial advice on reddit. Do whatever you feel is right. Ofcourse people in the BTC sub will shill BTC, on other subs people will tell you otherwise. I would have sold enough bitcoin to cover my original investment and keep the rest, but do not listen to me, I am not a financial adviser.

NMT_0909

Never sell btc ,just keep adding when you get signal of reversal. BTC is a long term asset , always add in short term fluctuations.dont worry about short term economic volatility. Just hold , add when you are sure that price is going to rally

Sudden_Onions

I don't own any crypto, but the algorithm keeps feeding me posts about how the Clarity Act hasn't affected Bitcoin price or how x movement of the stock market isn't followed by y movement of the BTC price. But I can't work out why anyone would think that connection exists. It strikes me that most of the movement in the market is based on one group of people trying to guess the top and bottom of the price for BTC, and another group of people trying to amass as much as possible. The majority of investors don't view any crypto as being as reliable a store of value as gold or bonds, so you don't get huge inflow in times of strife, or outflow when people want higher returns. Those movements, such as they are, would be drowned out by the people who just stack sats no matter what. Am I wrong?

I'm using changenow for quick swaps, but I'd still compare the final BTC-to-fiat quote, withdrawal fees, KYC requirements, and support history first. Definitely send a tiny test amount before committing the rest, verify every address, and don't leave funds sitting there. Convenience is great, but protecting your sats matters more.

Abject-Issue-6639

When BTC hits 50k in a few months. Ill be here to say. You shoulda stacked Fiat.
