Its a common scam for crypto noobies. The wallet pulls the public price from some random website without realizing that the trading volume is literally $0. When you decide to "cash in" your fake coins for BTC it'll require you to pay some ETH/bTC/SOL transfee fees to get it. You pay the transfer/transaction fee to "sell" it and nobody ends up buying it because it has zero volume. It's just a scam to get you to pay some transfer fee that they keep, leaving you with nothing

Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >

The forks share the DNA, but they don't share BTC's liquidity, trust or adoption. Gamdom sits in another lane entirely, which kinda proves crypto has grown into a bunch of different niches.

Gold was the ultimate form of money for most of recorded human history, and money is very useful. The reason that it has the value which it does now is because of its historical use as money, and to a significant extent it’s price reflects a market-implied probability that it will be used as such again (for good reason). BTC, on the other hand, has no such history and has had a near zero probability of becoming money since the Blockstream hostile takeover.

Eth has a unlimited supply 👎🏾 BTC is a scarce asset, limited and has always gone up

I’m not saying the quantum-computing argument should be ignored. Quite the opposite — I think it’s a legitimate long-term risk that Bitcoin holders should be paying attention to. But if I were looking at BTC with a **10+ year investment horizon**, I personally wouldn’t sell solely because of the quantum argument. The question for me isn't really *“Can quantum computers eventually threaten Bitcoin?”* I think the answer to that is potentially yes. The more important question is: **“Can Bitcoin upgrade its cryptography before quantum computers become capable of exploiting the existing system?”** Those are two very different questions. Bitcoin developers aren't ignoring this. There are already proposals being discussed around post-quantum protection, including **BIP-360 and BIP-361**. That doesn't mean Bitcoin has solved the problem — far from it. These are still works in progress, and there are some pretty significant technical and governance questions that need to be worked out. But that's exactly why I'd rather **monitor the development than panic-sell based on a prediction about when quantum computing becomes practical.** If I were holding BTC for 10+ years, I'd add **“Bitcoin quantum readiness”** to my annual investment checklist. I'd be watching: • BIP-360/BIP-361 development • Post-quantum signature proposals • Bitcoin Core implementation • Consensus around migrating vulnerable coins • Wallet/exchange/custodian support • Actual progress in cryptographically relevant quantum computing Two places I'd recommend anyone interested in this topic bookmark: [Bitcoin BIPs GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips?utm_source=chatgpt.com) [Delving Bitcoin developer forum](https://delvingbitcoin.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) I'd personally become much more concerned if we got to a point where **quantum computing was advancing faster than Bitcoin's ability to implement and adopt a quantum-resistant solution.** That's the risk I'd be watching. Until then, I view quantum computing as **a legitimate risk to monitor, not an automatic reason to sell.** And obviously, that's just my personal investment framework — not financial advice.

Prioritize taking some profits and securing reliable income while keeping a smaller BTC position for the long term. No need to time the perfect top.

The scary scenario isn't simply BTC dumping, it's a successful attack making people question whether the system can actually protect funds. That's a much bigger problem than normal market volatility, and I'd put something like Gamdom in a completely different bucket since that's gambling risk rather than a protocol-level security risk.

Fee's are driven by usage. High fees reduce micro Transactions, to slow down congestion when the network is busy. It's supply and demand logic just on chain. If as you describe that fee's are so high, why would someone use BTC over a wire transfer or any other kind of settlement like stable coin.

In 2133, all the banks has moved to quantum resistant protocols, BTC stayed with the original ECDSA, and there is no single quantum computer in world can crack it! That is the myth about Quantum computer As for the mining, future quantum miners might require billions of investment, but they consume very little power, so the mining is mostly moved to a group of large data centers with quantum miners running at near 0k temperature, instead of a group of mining pools. The profit is still high for the miners, but majority could not afford the miner itself

Fees will be very high because the price to send a single BTC worth $10M will be very high. And it's good if there is less usage on the main chain anyway because it can't support it. There will be layer 2's on top like Lightning Network, and others not even created yet, for retail to use.

You’ll hear input from many people with different opinions, but they’re just that: opinions. None of us know where the BTC market price will go tomorrow, or next week, next month or next year. I own Bitcoin. Decent amount of it. But not because I think I know where the market price will be next week or next month. I own it because I believe in censorship-resistant money. I believe in it as an open-source, permission-less. Distributed P2P network, and as a currency that’s durable, divisible, portable, fungible & scarce.

If you believe in the long term success of Bitcoin, then we can assume eventually the price will recover and surpass its prior ATH. Starting a short position 50% below ATH on an asset as volatile as BTC just doesn't sound smart. Like at all.

How about zcash? That is basically a fork of Bitcoin - even keeping the same 21m Max coins - but with a privacy layer bolted on. It is definitely not in a long term down trend against BTC.

Mentions:#BTC

Your instinct is already pretty solid here. BTC and ETH aren't really competing for the same job, which is probably why the choice feels harder than it should. BTC is basically built to be the "buy it and leave it" asset, fixed supply, longest track record, nothing you really need to keep tabs on. If low-stress and long-term is genuinely the goal, that's exactly the profile it's built for. ETH is a different kind of bet. You're not just holding it hoping the price goes up, you're holding a stake in whatever gets built on top of it, DeFi, NFTs, real-world asset tokenisation, most of it settles back to Ethereum in some way. That's the utility edge you're picking up on. The trade-off is it's a more complex asset with more moving parts, and it can be staked if you want it actually doing something rather than just sitting there, worth looking into if "leave it there" is still the plan. Since you're already holding BTC from a good entry, adding ETH isn't really an either/or decision, it's just not putting all your eggs in a single basket. A lot of people who want simplicity end up somewhere around 70/30 or 60/40 BTC/ETH for exactly that reason, not because one's objectively better. Only thing I'd genuinely flag: don't let "set and forget" turn into "forget it exists." Doesn't need to be active management, but even checking in once a year is worth doing. Good luck with it.

Fees will not be high if there's not much usage. And people use BTC as a store of value.

What most people don't realize is that only a very small number of BTC is circulating as many are in hands of people who might never sell. Then there's a huge number of forever gone coins. Let the US buy one million BTC what do you think will trigger this? Supply could be very small very soon. And to convince Hodler so sell you only can adjust the price as there never can be new BTC. That's only a theory, obviously. But anyway I'm 100% certain that is never wrong to buy BTC as long as you can hold it for at least 10 years.

But there will always be naysayers who pronounce it “dead” during any market correction or bear market era. So what exactly did you hope to achieve with this question?

This is not all or nothing. You can buy some ETH without completely draining your BTC. The right % ratio depends on your risk tolerance. BTC is "safer" (if such a thing exists in this space). ETH has more upside AND downside potential. Crypto can survive without ETH, I'm not sure it can survive without BTC.

Post is by: Civil-Mine-4168 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vwfbcj/the_btc_breakout_was_a_treasury_liquidity_event/ Quick reconstruction of the week, because the sequencing matters more than the price action: Aug 18 — SEC proposes "Regulation Crypto Assets," easing disclosure requirements for certain offerings. Aug 19 — Treasury announces long-dated bond buybacks at least double in size, $2B to $4B+ per operation. Yields drop. Aug 20 — BTC breaks the six-week range, tops $71K. Roughly $3B of shorts liquidated in 24h, largest since 2021. Spot BTC ETFs take $606M. Aug 21-22 — BTC settles around $77.3K, +22.7% on the week. ETH \~$2,360. XRP +39%. Fear and Greed 72. Two of the three catalysts are policy, and policy can be withdrawn. The buyback expansion is the load-bearing one — it's a real change in dollar liquidity, and it's why this looked more like a macro risk-asset repricing than a crypto narrative pump. The part I think is being misread: everyone is calling a top off the Greed reading. But perp funding is only running about +4.7% annualised on the month, and the trailing week cooled to +3.8% — roughly half the long-run +8.4% average. After a +22% week you'd expect funding to be screaming. It isn't. That implies this leg was driven by spot and ETF flow rather than leveraged longs piling in. Which is a genuinely different risk profile than a squeeze top: fewer forced sellers stacked up on the way down, but also much less short fuel left on the way up. The 24h liquidation tape has already flipped two-sided (\~$858M longs vs \~$816M shorts), so the easy direction is gone. What I'm watching rather than predicting: \- Whether ETF inflows keep printing $200M+ days now the squeeze fuel is spent \- Whether funding actually normalises upward, which is when the crowded-long argument becomes real \- Dominance. Alt gains so far look like beta off a BTC breakout, not rotation — the tell would be dominance breaking down while BTC goes sideways. Curious what the bear case is beyond "it went up too fast." Anyone still short, what's the thesis? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I don't own any BTC. I want to own BTC. I would love to own BTC. However, I have two major issues that I have to see some kind of plan put in place, that is actually being implemented, and not just talked about. (1) How will the quantum proofing issues be resolved in regards to "stagnant coins", i.e. Satoshi as an example. This isn't a technical issue it is a philosophical/political issue. (2) How will the BTC community address the fact that BTC mining gets harder to justify economically every cycle? I think PoW is great for "gold 2.0", but you still need people to mine BTC to maintain the security. Again I think this is primarily a philosophical issue that the BTC community has to agree on. I don't think (1) and (2) are technical issues. The problem is getting the BTC community to agree on a solution.

No, I said "arguably worthless and constantly inflating". Goalposts remain. XMR is what's up. But you didn't answer my question about prices doubling. What did you mean about pricing digital serial numbers? perhaps you were referring to the traceability of BTC? Then I concur

Honestly, I suck at market timing. Every Friday morning I have an fixed auto purchase of BTC. Lowest price is bout 45 and highest price, well you know. When I notice the stack getting a little heavy, move to cold storage. I did this with equities for 30 years and retired at 58. DCA does work best when you ignore it!

For mining to be profitable you need 2 and a half things 1. Cheap electricity - ok 2. You need economics of scale. Think maybe like 400k vs 40k of miners to start 3. You need the knowledge to understand how to set up this many miners, which is a lot more complicated that "just plug them in". Even after doing all of this, you probably wouldnt be more profitable than just holding BTC

Hahaha I paid off my house with BTC in 2025, right on the cycle schedule.  I'm so confident about the 2029 ATH that I'm building a new house right now.

Nope. BTC mining is not profitable at electricity costs over 6 cents per kwh, which I assume, you dont have. Not to mention thousands in mining equipment that goes obsolete in few years.

BTC is probably just going to crab around \~$70k the next couple of months. ![gif](giphy|uA8WItRYSRkfm)

Swapped my BTC for ETH on several occasions @ about 0.025, no regrets at all. And  I think 0.03 is a good entry point, but of course there are no guarantees either way.

Nonononono. First, you always should keep most of your portfolio in BTC. Second, ETH is not a shitcoin, yes? But if you actually would look at the graph, It´s not clear that it wins any relevance against BTC, in fact, the opposite seems to be true. Also you have to consider the intrinsic risks, you´re depending on the Ethereum fundation and the big big stakers. I mean, all of they want the price to go up, and if you move around DeFi you may find ETH a lot more comfortable, but if it is not the case, is an unncesary move like... what are you trying to achieve doing so exactly?

Mentions:#BTC#ETH

As a humble beginner I would recommend you keep your BTC. If you want to buy some additional Eth with cash go for it.

Mentions:#BTC

Don't. Just buy BTC instead.

My conflict will be paying off debt at 0% interest at the minimum amount, living razor thin with my expenses, and accumulating gas much BTC as possible for (x) years.

Mentions:#BTC

I mean ones a more mature asset and been around longer, I'd argue the fact everybody is so sure btc is the better long term move is a bit short sided. I own both, I DCA to both, I'd be about equally confident buying both currently at these prices I look at them like large/small cap ETFs. People can downvote me but I'll buy ETH all day below or around 2k and I'll continue slowly DCAing into BTC.

Of course, it's common sense. Security budget of BTC, look it up. Document yourself, DYOR

Mentions:#BTC#DYOR

Yeah I also think the same. It depends how much is the leverage. If it's too much like 10x or 15x small moves in BTC can liquidate you easily and quickly

Mentions:#BTC

Very weird, wanting to sell BTC and park it in ETH lol Usually it's the other way around

Mentions:#BTC#ETH

[https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL) That tells you all you need to know. Short term of course it can outperform, just like any other altcoin. Long term it is bleeding out against BTC.

Mentions:#BTC

my guess would be that sense BTC went up it could potentially go down

Mentions:#BTC

I was all in on ETH and a few years ago I moved 30% to BTC. It is now worth more than my ETH. I’d diversify at best if trading any BTC for ETH.

You cannot borrow conviction. Make your own research, convince yourself that the move you are doing is right. I will make you endure downturns and you won't be asking yourself why you even bought in the first place. I did that for both BTC and ETH, and I held since 2017. Don't listen to people online. I sold my 100 000 LINK for like 10K $ long time ago cause someone on this sub said that they saw the founder on Bahamas and was told the project won't be continued which was obviously a lie. I lacked conviction, don't make the same mistake.

Well some Analysts are warning that institutions (BlackRock, ETFs) now control the flow, which has dwarfed the impact of the halving's supply shock. Because daily ETF inflows ($100M - $1B) can now overwhelm the $35M - $40M in new BTC mined daily, this "500-day pattern" may be less precise this time.

Keep your BTC ,never swap for ETH !!!

Mentions:#BTC#ETH

eth has deeply underperformed compared to BTC, I would not recommend buying more eth over btc.

Mentions:#BTC

$77,000 BTC. It's a beautiful thing

Mentions:#BTC

Personally my ETH position outweighs my BTC and I am very much considering making the opposite move right now. On the 3 year long term (my personal horizon where I plan to use some crypto to fund some personal expenses) I think BTC will out perform ETH. All speculation ofc and do plan on keeping eggs in both baskets.
