BTC

At 88k, BTC can drop 13.6% and he is still basically breakeven

Metals is value and money, it has a steady 2percent inflation rate which is what’s needed, new supply always will be needed. BTC not enough new supply and can be hoarded and keys lost so it’s not the forever solution. When you die and have an amount of physical metal it won’t be locked up with lost private keys.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

I guarantee you that the same people who were on here and FOMO'd into BTC and alts in 2024 and 2025 AFTER they already did 5x, are all running to gold and silver right now, jumping on the FOMO train and buying high again. Then a year from now they're gonna be crying on the gold and silver subs, because once again it didn't do another 5x right after they bought, and had the usual correction.

Why Cardano? Cardano lives on charismatic vision, sold by Charles. No real usage, no advancement of projects, it's dead, beside people staking... Beside you should not use the term "investing" when mentioning crypto, this is pure speculation. Go where there is real usage, so BTC, SOL, eventually ETH. Sadly crypto will just be a tool to reduce USA debt at some point. You should invest into real companies, not into digital immutable database records which can be multiplied even easier than printing paper money. I sold almost all my crypto a few months ago, everything besides Cardano, because Daedalus took five days to synchronise... I am just waiting for one more rush, to get rid of that as well, if there are any remaining idiots to believe in crypto now after so many people got burned. But there always are.

People realized they could make a quick-buck or generational wealth and completely took over BTC as an asset, thats why you see coping/hype post 100 times a day in this sub.

Post is by: ADHD-Developer and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qmmgei/dca_strategy_sol/ I’ve been looking at Solana’s on-chain data and it looks solid: strong active users, healthy TVL, and ongoing developer activity. I’m considering a 9-month weekly DCA into SOL, allocating around 3% of my stablecoin stack. I’m not a fan of diversification, and seeing people who bought BTC 8 years ago and are still holding made me think long-term conviction matters more than spreading thin. Does this make sense as an entry strategy? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ETH's failure to make significant gains in the highest BTC ATH of current history told us enough.

No-Contribution9918

I suppose I should have said it *was* over-hyped. The hype for it died out, like many chains from the 2021 crypto boom. Just a lot of promises (scalability, Chainlink, Input Endorsers, rollups, BTC DeFi, USDC, Mamba, major Hydra applications...I could go on)/ Now, it has low usage, TVL, stables, fees/revenue, less dApps, virtually no RWA, etc.

nastimoto

Cardano and Solana can not be called ‘investments’ in my opinion 🤭 I’d say wait a year let it all crush and burn as it usually does, then buy BTC. Maybe some ETH.

Aurel577

Yes the confiscation is always a worry, I do have self custody of physical gold and silver for that reason. My BTC holdings are about 15-20%of my net worth after selling some at $109k thinking it was headed much lower after that last run up and would buy back it it would take a larger dip. I always believed in BTC as a payment system, as I was impressed how I could send BTC to Bitmain in China to buy miners without a bank involved and then watch my shipment land in Alaska then to the lower 48. I kind of wish it was still used that way but it seems to be now a treated as digital gold.

swn999

Both niche coins, the meme is what wannabes pick up in first, dude get some Doge! And Cardano is just… not gaining traction. What has staying power BTC ETH XRP SOL

CyberCrud

Trust me, I know.   I have almost $50k in gold and silver right now.  I'm just saying that in a few months, you're better off taking your metals profits and putting it into BTC lows.  BTC has the potential to 3x from the bottom this year to ATH in 2029.  Whereas gold is less likely to hit $15k in 2029.  

AInception

BTC doesn't have a fix because each address is a transaction with no single account (UTXO), so yes. It's a lot easier with Ethereum's accounts-based model where users can dictate their next transaction type arbitrarily. To patch BTC every user needs to send all their BTC to a novel address type (under a new private key). There isn't enough bandwith to accomplish that in even 5 years, so fees would make it prohibitively expensive for most of the time leading to extreme controversey. No one is rushing to pull that trigger. Satoshi's 2-3M BTC would (hopefully?) not migrate to a new address, plus all the other millions of 'lost' and inactive coins, so it isn't a perfect fix anyway. In theory your private key can be pulled out of your public key. If you've never made an outgoing transaction, then no one has your public key. If you've ever made a transactions then your private key is public information on the ledger. The more outgoing UTXO transactions you've made from 1 address, the more 'clues' you've left behind and the weaker your encryption becomes (with enough clues it can even be cracked traditionally). IBM predicts by 2030 they'll have enough qbits functioning to break SHA256 encryption for the first time. By 2033 they say they'll have their chips running in supercomputers globally and commercially. ECDSA (what private keys are encrypted with) is notably much weaker than SHA256. The threat isn't here yet but it is coming at us fast. The point of using SHA256 as the encryption standard was it would take longer than the heat-death of the universe to traditionally crack, millions or even billions of years wasn't seen as good enough. So that much time brought down to ~5 years is pretty alarming. The time to act was 10 years ago IMO, cryptography thrives out of proactive paranoia.

Well over the years I just used a MultiBit wallet. When MultiBit quit supporting it I had a hard time getting my BTC moved out of it and was lucky the forums on getting a work around. That is when I moved it to Coinbase. I also have used Coinbase to sell some as I had milestones ( $1,000, $5,000, $10,000) but as the price started getting higher I wasn’t sure how I felt with Coinbase with all the talk of people having problems with them. I started to move the coin to self custody. This whole time I was mining and used the money to pay back my miners cost and electric with a nice profit. Now when it went over $100k it just feels safer for me to deal with Coinbase beside some I still keep in my Electrum wallet and even some in my Cash App. I have always had good results with Coinbase. Once when I changed my internet provider, I forgot to change my email while I still had my email from the old provider. Coinbase was very helpful once I proved my identity, to move my coin to a new account we set up using my new email.

The more he buys when MSTR is at such a low mNAV, the more BTC-per-share will drop. He is still buying because he cannot show weakness.

tldr; Michael Saylor's Strategy has acquired 14,910 Bitcoin in 2026, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC, worth billions. Following a $1.25 billion purchase last week, Saylor hinted at further acquisitions with a 'Bigger Orange' post on social media. Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has invested $51.8 billion in Bitcoin and holds $2.25 billion in cash reserves. Despite stock price challenges, the firm remains committed to Bitcoin as a long-term asset, leveraging debt and equity offerings to fund purchases while preparing for future debt obligations. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Chessgenious

You’re right. The right comparison is USD to my currency and then USD to my currency. BTC is actually down 30% in a year against my currency, so it has been slightly better to hold USD instead of BTC.

roylewill

That’s not how it works. If BTC underperformed USD, it underperformed USD for everyone. Living in a different country doesn’t change BTC vs USD performance.

xarips

Michael Saylor will be remembered as the most important man who ever lived when BTC becomes the new money we all use

ComprehensiveOne2122

\> Range 90 to 200k from 1k in 2016 is enormous. \- In Jan-2016 the price was around 500 USD/BTC. \- The 2016 model predicted 200 kUSD/BTC for today. \- The actual price today is 90 kUSD/BTC. \- This means that the model predicted an increase of about ×400 and was off by a factor of about ×2. So, **×400 prediction, ×2 error**. It is not that bad considering that 5.5 years of data (Jul-2010 to Jan-2016) are extrapolated 10 years in the future (Jan-2016 to today). Furthermore, the 90 kUSD/BTC includes the high frequency noise, in Sep-2025 the model was off by ×1.4 in a ×360 prediction (but this would indeed be cherry picking data). \> So in short - you fit data to tell story. No. \> Anybody with any wspiera know that drawing on graph is just plain stupid. Then what is the point in plotting the price data as a function of time. Just buy things blindly ignoring their past.

No_Giraffe_4647

It would have been better to proceed 2 years ago and go all in on gold/silver but nowadays and current price level yes BTC sounds more attractive than the previous

Lost-Bowl3269

When it's a bull market, fortune tellers say that BTC will reach 350k in 2 or 3 months. When it's a bear market, fortune tellers say it will reach 35k in 2 or 3 months. Take a weighted average of these crazy people's predictions and you'll have another useless prediction that's good for nothing because past events don't guarantee future events.

Alexbobica

Good plan imo. I would rather choose a higher percentage to be in BTC. However, my pf invlude 70% in BTC, 10% in ETH and SOL, 30% in AIOZ, WILD, DIA, ZEC, etc.

Maybe if you stick to 80% BTC - 20% ETH you end up with better results than all those

Backwards_is_Forward

Sell low (BTC) buy high! (Gold)

donjoe0

Well yea, because they're seeing the signs of the US economy heading into a recessionary period in the next years, especially if an unpredictable crash of the overheated AI stocks hits, so they're buying traditional hedges against currency inflation and stock underperformance: precious metals, to some extent industrial metals, some institutions have even started buying more gov't bonds. It's all it is, capital rotation in response to economic indicators pointing toward a downturn. The unfortunate part for BTC is that it's caught in a murky territory, being seen by some as more of a risk-on asset (that you'd sell in today's economy) and by others as more of an inflation hedge (that you'd buy in today's economy with the weakening dollar). Neither side is winning yet, though long-term (multi-year) the big holders seem to be migrating to the inflation-hedge side, with all the institutional moves we've been seeing. So by the next recession after this one, BTC might actually start to look like "digital gold" for the first time ever, just not yet, and definitely not this year.

By the way, all the models between 2016-2026 predict for Jan-2035 a range 1e6-2.5e6 USD/BTC, it is a 250 % difference. Models in between 2018-2026 predict 1.3e6 to 1.7e6 USD/BTC.

devCheckingIn

The diminishing returns is why there's diminishing interest. So unless we start getting banana zones again, BTC will never see a million or $500k or $250k or whatever.

Benzo_Head

I'm just pointing out that Bitcoin has diminishing returns with every halving. But some BTC cultists straight up gaslight you telling its not actually true. Pretty annoying attitude tbf

Aurel577

Interesting post. I sit here at age 68yo and have been in BTC since 2013 when my son first told me about it. ( I thought he was nuts until I read the white paper) I have went back and forth between holding on Coinbase, my Ledger and electrum wallet.

EUredditposter

$30m on BTC is nothing.

What kind of answer is this - just show these graph with full data, not very specific window of time. Do these graph from start to 2035 and it will show 1000% difference, and that it - you could fit any data to tell differemt story. So thank You for admitimg I'm right. I also camnot wait what will be in 10 years with my BTC,.

Pure BTC or IBIT? Because how do you plan to pay the interest and withdraw?

Gerr_217

I had about €1500 invested in BTC, but I had to sell because I didn't fully understand it all. Now I understand it well and I know that it's important to hold so that it pays off in a few years. I think I'll put money back into BTC so that in 20 years I'll have some profits.

Benzo_Head

If it drops to 10k (lower than 2022) it's unironically over. Diminishing returns turned BTC into a very boring asset

I quantified how much this power law model changes in time, have a look at the graphs here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1qmgxmv/the\_power\_law\_model\_as\_a\_function\_of\_time/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1qmgxmv/the_power_law_model_as_a_function_of_time/) About the log-scaled y-axis, this is the right thing for ratios such as USD/BTC. The change from 1→2 USD/BTC has the same effect as from 100→200 USD/BTC.

ozera202

Without alt season crypto is nothing , ppl are not interested in BTC they are interested in ALTs . Btc at these high prices and the space is dead and retail doesn’t give a fuck . Say what you want but hype and interest is only bought by alt season pump . Btc can hit 150k and retail still will not be interested

CereBRO12121

Yes, because they surely would have held their hands still, working their 9-5 while watching BTC go up 100000%. The whole “if you bought then…” talk is so dumb. Except you were in prison or seriously forgot about them there is no way you just idly watch this happen.

TheRealMacresco

Yes. The guy in this picture is also one of the pioneers that found out that GPU's are better for mining than CPU's. 10000 BTC is probably the tip of the iceberg for him. He stated that this transaction helped adoption and he doesn't regret it

CutFabulous1178

No, but Gold & Silver it is superior, has a good run up and everyone wants to get in on it suddenly but not when they were underperforming afew years back BTC is done at $88k it is not getting higher even if it was <$20k a couple of years ago /s

2.62% vs BTC!

Mantis-Prawn

Need more dip to fulfil some of my buy orders! Fun fact: So far, every halving cycle the BTC/USD price did hit the 200 WMA, roughly somewhere between 2-3 years after the halving. History doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but often it rhymes...

Glad someone said it, they weren’t the most expensive pizzas in human history, they cost $40. What the amount of BTC equates to now is fucking irrelevant and people just fail to realise that.

Best time. I believe in BTC and some altcoins like TAO and KAS. But probably BTC is the best and most safe one the others are a bit more speculative but still great coins.

redblddrp

with only $200 in BTC short term moves don’t matter much nobody can time tops and bottoms consistently if you believe in crypto long term it’s usually better to hold and keep learning price drops happen because of macro news profit taking and fear not because “something is wrong” just don’t invest money you need soon and try to think in years not days

Make a goal to get to 1 btc, then you will see this drop of price as a way to get ahead - it will bounce up. It seems scary and might feel bad. I had the same. Just think long-term, you invest BTC for it's 2029 year price - cheaper you buy now, the better you will be in 2029

**BTC needs good news.**

larrybirdismygoat

His is what ChatGPT Pro says on the matter: This criticism of Bitcoin is partially valid but materially overstated, and it relies on a static, linear extrapolation of Bitcoin’s security model that most protocol designers explicitly reject. A rigorous assessment requires separating what is theoretically correct, what is empirically unresolved, and what is conceptually flawed. ⸻ 1. The core claim: “Bitcoin security collapses as block rewards fall” What is valid • Security budget reality: Bitcoin’s security is funded by miner revenue = block subsidy + transaction fees. As subsidies halve every ~4 years, fees must eventually dominate. • Arithmetic is correct: If Bitcoin maintained today’s hashrate with future subsidies near zero, fees would need to rise materially unless price increases compensate. • This is not controversial: Even Bitcoin Core developers acknowledge that the long-run security model depends on fee markets. Conclusion: 👉 The existence of a long-term security-budget question is real and acknowledged. ⸻ 2. Where the argument becomes weak or misleading A. “Fees must be $50+ per transaction” This is not required. The post assumes: • Constant transactions per block • Constant security spend in USD terms • No L2 migration • No change in miner cost structures • No price appreciation All are false assumptions. Reality: • Bitcoin’s base layer is intentionally becoming a high-value settlement layer, not a retail payment rail. • If a block settles: • Exchanges • Rollups • Lightning channels • Custodians • Institutional batched transfers then a $10–$100 fee per transaction is economically trivial, because each transaction may represent thousands or millions of end-user transfers. This is already observable: • During peak congestion, $20–$60 fees have been paid without network collapse. • Fee elasticity exists for low-value users, not for settlement users. Conclusion: 👉 High fees are not a failure mode; they are an intended design outcome. ⸻ B. “Lower hashpower = easier attacks” This is directionally true but economically incomplete. What matters is relative attack cost vs economic value secured, not absolute hashpower. If: • BTC price ↑ • Value settled per block ↑ • Miner revenue stabilizes via fees • Attack incentives remain negative then lower hashpower does not imply weaker security. Attackers must: • Acquire or rent ASICs • Pay energy costs • Risk devaluing the asset they attack • Overcome social and economic countermeasures (reorg limits, checkpoints, exchange responses) Security is economic, not purely computational. ⸻ C. “Bitcoin needs price to double forever” This is a strawman. Bitcoin does not require perpetual exponential price growth. It requires: • Fee revenue to stabilize at a level sufficient to deter attacks relative to value settled. That can occur via: • Modest long-term price appreciation • Increased settlement demand • Higher-value transactions • Layer-2 aggregation • Miner efficiency gains Ethereum proponents often overlook that Ethereum implicitly assumes perpetual issuance, which also relies on perpetual demand. ⸻ 3. Ethereum comparison: valid contrast, but not a knockout argument Ethereum’s model strengths • Ongoing issuance ensures a stable security budget • PoS security is cheaper per unit of value secured • Inflation ~0–1% is economically tolerable • EIP-1559 smooths fee volatility These are real advantages. But Ethereum has its own assumptions • Social consensus is more interventionist • Protocol-level changes are frequent • Security relies on slashing + social recovery • Long-term validator centralization risks exist • Monetary policy is mutable by governance Bitcoin optimizes for: • Credible neutrality • Immutability • Minimal governance • Predictable monetary policy Ethereum optimizes for: • Economic efficiency • Adaptability • Programmability These are different design philosophies, not “one is obviously broken”. ⸻ 4. What the criticism gets fundamentally wrong The biggest error The argument assumes Bitcoin must: Maintain today’s security model, transaction profile, and usage patterns forever. Bitcoin is explicitly evolving toward: • Low-frequency, high-value settlement • L2-driven retail usage • Fee-dominated miner revenue • Security proportional to economic throughput, not TPS Judging Bitcoin by Visa-like TPS metrics is a category error. ⸻ Final verdict Validity score: ~6/10 • ✅ Correct to highlight the long-term fee-dependence question • ❌ Incorrect to assume catastrophic failure or impossibility • ❌ Over-relies on static extrapolation • ❌ Misunderstands Bitcoin’s intended end-state Bottom line: Bitcoin’s security model is not proven, but it is not internally inconsistent. Ethereum’s model is more economically explicit, but less monetarily rigid. This is a trade-off, not a fatal flaw. If you want, I can: • Quantify plausible future fee scenarios • Compare BTC vs ETH security per $100B settled • Explain why many Bitcoin developers are comfortable with the fee-only future • Or assess whether PoS actually solves the same problem or just shifts it

How much BTC you've stacked is irrelevant to the question and inconsequential. Please stop posting about it as it adds nothing and potentially costs you safety. And it's sort of tacky to boot. River is the answer to your question.

Lavayo

Then we are fucked, but we would be either way. Logistics, credit cards, phones won't work either. There will be BTC nodes running somewhere on earth in the meantime, you won't lose anything and just join the network later.

AInception

That only happens if they somehow burned coins already in circulation. Most of the time they burn coins that have never been in circulation and have had 0 effect on price. The only effect is by reducing speculation that they *may someday have been put in circulation in the future* which would crash the market if that happened. But if they were already pegged to burn that potential what-if wouldn't spook the market in the first place, so there's absolutely no effect. You could burn all of Satoshi's coins tomorrow and BTC wouldn't move, because Satoshi's coins don't move and have no effect on the market's demand. It's mostly done for marketing. Especially all those 1,000,000,000,000 token burns that equate to like $50,000. Because some coins do burn fees, reducing the total in circulation which has an upward effect on its price over time, and instead of copying that--because they earn no fees they just copy the marketing and pray nobody is any wiser.

piggleii

In 2021, someone told me it had much more utility than boring Grandpa BTC.

the-quibbler

You're measuring the wrong thing. "Being a whole coiner" is an arbitrary psychological milestone, not an economically meaningful one. Bitcoin is divisible to eight decimal places. The number of coins you own is irrelevant—what matters is what share of the world's wealth your holdings represent. If Bitcoin becomes the global reserve asset and you own 0.001 BTC, the question isn't "do I have a whole coin?" It's "what can this buy me?" and "what percentage of global wealth does this represent?" Those are the numbers that actually affect your life. Saying "700k people can never be whole coiners because of MicroStrategy" is like saying "millions of people can never own a whole share of Berkshire Hathaway." So what? You can own fractional shares. The unit size is arbitrary. Nobody is harmed by the number being smaller. The scarcity argument matters for price. It doesn't matter for accessibility. You can still buy $100 of Bitcoin. You can still buy $10. What that $100 represents as a share of the network is what changes over time, but that's true of any appreciating asset. Obsessing over "whole coins" or "0.1 club" is numerology, not economics. The sat is the unit. Everything else is vibes.

Accumulation point I think. This price isn't a bad place to buy for BTC, ETH, HYPE, or AIOZ. Can we see more downside? Yeah, maybe. Nothing much tho. The market will be back up in a few days to weeks.

boringtired

Bro your not looking at the parent comment and the associated comments. Nobody predicted the drop, we’re saying, that the drops have been less substantial. How much did BTC value drop first bullrun? How much did BTC value drop second bullrun? Look at the percentage and how that’s gotten lower over time, that’s it. Nobody’s predicting squat.

Flamboiant_Canadian

That's literally the entire premise of the Blocksize Wars and the rise of Bitcoin. The community split and when that split happened the historic rise of BTC unfolded. It went from being used as currency to being held as a speculative asset.  People like to quote Satoshi for the rise, but Satoshi's model has largely been ignored. BTC Core just does whatever is best for the price. If broken and dysfunctional keeps the price up, broken and dysfunctional it is!  Some 80% of all BTC sits unused, that's pretty effective. Not using an asset seems pretty speculative. Why even hold a cryptocurrency if you don't have any plans of ever using it? That's kind of the whole point.

Been following ark closely since around 2019. Thought Cathy and team would have insider knowledge and understanding of innovative tech trends; however that’s not been the case. She’s pretty boneheaded and her team has made many questionable decisions since the melt up and melt down of ARKK. She made a couple of crazy calls back then that were right, since then she’s just been riding those coattails with no new accomplishments of note. Could BTC go to 750k by 2030? Maybe. Should you believe that Cathy has it figured out and her opinion is worth a grain of salt?? Hell no. Kathy and tom make a living with big calls on btc/eth. They realize that when they do that, they get a bunch of attention.

No_Giraffe_4647

I tend to disagree there is no scam few thousands years ago it was the only thing around. Nowadays metals are even dematerialized so I could sell a fraction for 100 bucks if I want to. I. The meantime I feel having some BTC on the side as well is even much comfortable so I could play on both sides of the fence and rotate between them when I see fit. I may rotate a bit more from gold to BTC by late 2026. For now fresh new cash goes 4 ways: BTC, Precious metals, uranium, rare earth.

booyahbroski

The main thing to remember is that BTC is going to $1,000,000. $50k, $80k, $100k who cares. Get all that you can! Every day Saylor and others deny future wholecoiners!

Blockchainauditor

Understanding that for the foreseeable future, those lifeboats are tethered to that fiat ship, because 95+% of the time, people convert their BTC back to fiat if they are strictly HODLing.

So everyone has finally come around to reality - cue incoming rocket fuel of BTC to $150k.   Cause that is how this f’ing market works.  

friggleriggle

If Bitcoin were valued like gold is today it'd be more than 1 million a coin. Imo that's a good indicator of the amount of the market that does understand and care. And given that gold has gone up significantly in the last few years, I'd suspect there's still room to go. Plenty of complacent people will buy just because "number go up" so I suspect the addressable market is still quite large. There's also no evidence that Bitcoin has cannibalized gold's market share to this point. So I think even accounting for complacency on central banks, there's still a fairly bullish case for BTC.

Yea. No need for Clarity Act. Almost like the lawsuit was planned….. I’m honestly shocked and people’s insistence that XRPL is not to be taken seriously.

I keep the vast majority of my BTC in cold storage and don’t touch it. That’s the core position. If I ever use BTC in any protocol, it’s on Babylon and the likes since it model preserves self-custody and avoids rehypothecation. Also I have a smaller bag I'm trading for side profit.

As you are writing this…. I am NOT understimating. I am buying my small amount each week. BTC only‼️

Pretty much. For most BTC holders, doing nothing is the feature, not a bug. Self custody and patience already beat most strategies. I’m not arguing people should do more with BTC, just that if anything does gain traction, it’ll have to respect that mindset instead of trying to turn Bitcoin into a yield machine.

BTC is decoupled from digital gold safe haven mumbo jumbo talk. It’s back to where it should be.. high risk spec and correlated with speculative equities and not gold

I mostly agree with you. For many people, buy and hold in cold storage is already the optimal strategy and probably always will be. I don’t think BTC needs DeFi. The question is whether there’s room for very conservative use cases for a small slice of holders who want utility without giving up custody. Some newer designs like Babylon are at least trying to explore that direction by keeping BTC under user control instead of wrapping it into another chain. But the default for most people should still be, hold your keys and avoid chasing yield.

The average person is very stupid, and BTC is quite a hard thing to be explained for anyone who’s not very tech savvy.
