If they are able to find a backdoor, we wont know about it until they publicly weaponize it. The first indication that they can weaponize it; BTC is going to zero.

Lambo, moon, retirement plan, generational wealth… I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you’ve used these exact same terms for a couple dozen other projects that are now defunct. I own BTC, like everyone else here it’s in my own best interest for it to work. But the blind faith and can’t fail attitude, on its face, looks exactly like a thousand others. The unbiased reality is in this ever changing technological world there is a higher probability that we are watching “Where Are They Now” docs about Bitcoin in 2040 than there is for it to be at the Million+ that folks have convinced themselves is inevitable.

mrjune2040

Regardless of our disagreements and the whole eCash appropriation angle, them selling Satoshi’s allocation to ‘high quality’ investors is an absolute fucking grift. I’ll be selling mine immediately on fork for BTC.

Unbalanced_Acctnt

Yes, but not the kind of hope you need if you are desperate and need an immediate fix. BTC is volatile and if you are banking on it to skyrocket in the near term, you may get hurt. Of course, you could also be right.🤷‍♂️ In my opinion, BTC is long term hope for those with patience, a plan, low time preference and a long time horizon (4+ years) in general.

AccomplishedPhase883

How many alts will 10, 50 or 1000x if bitcoin simply doubles. BTC is here to stay but it is a treasury bill now not a money making “growth” coin.

AccomplishedPhase883

BTC is not going to zero. But for a 2x on your “investment” you need like 1.5 trillion dollars of new money. Many people need to make some money before they can “store” it in BTC.

Blade_Runner_69

That's what the want the uneducated masses in the west to think. I have a Chinese friend who buys and sells BTC regularly in China and has zero problems.

It's true that someone using a different 24-word seed phrase could potentially open my 25-word wallet. I'll split my BTC into a second wallet (25\_2) for peace of mind 🤣

I bought Bitcoin near inception through an exchange and since I didn't touch it in over 12 years the state seized them as unclaimed property and reimbursemed me for near ehat I originally bought then for. There are so many gotchas with this shit. Someone else I know was smart enough to keep their Bitcoin in wallet, but their house was broken into and it was stolen (though they have enough to never work again) Another one simply lost it. Of all my group of friends who bought a lot of BTC back then, only one kept them (and ran his own exchange for a while, before some shit happened to him too)

BTC è già obsoleto da tempo, per scambiare denaro conviene usare altro, per fare smart contract conviene usare altro. BTC è il preferito perché è il simbolo del denaro digitale, viene usato come valuta corrente in certi paese e viene sempre più compreso in ETF di grosso calibro. Se vediamo alla tecnologia POW è surclassato da kaspa (che come tecnologia POW surclassa tutti), mentre per ora si è giustamente virato verso tecnologie proof of stake che hanno usi e velocità di tanto superiori a btc. In sostanza, è diventato un simbolo, un oro digitale e in questo mondo maggior efficienza non equivale a miglior valore perché è tutto dominato da un discorso speculativo

PassiveBotAI

Both matter but they operate on different clocks. Institutional access drives the next 12 months. Actual transaction demand determines which projects still exist in 10 years. The mistake is expecting them to happen simultaneously. BlackRock doesn't care if anyone is buying coffee with BTC — they care about uncorrelated returns and portfolio allocation. That's a completely different buyer with completely different motivations. The projects worth holding are the ones building transaction demand quietly while everyone argues about ETF flows. When the institutional cycle turns they'll already have the moat.

PassiveBotAI

Most altcoins from 2021-2022 aren't coming back. The narrative cycle moved on and capital doesn't rotate back to yesterday's story. The ones worth keeping have actual usage growth — everything else is just hope dressed up as a thesis. Cut the dead weight. BTC dominance is at 56% for a reason.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Holy crap. 23 comments in the last 10 hours. We really are in a bear market. I still see a few people who think it will go back to $100K and higher. Maybe 1 year from now. But I don't see how it's gonna do that right now, Stocks just had a historic rally breaking some record consecutive days that we haven't had in years, and BTC still wasn't able to break $80k, nevermind breaking $100K.

Crazerz

You realize BTC can do this too if 50%+1 of miners agree?

key take- away: - a quantum attack on elliptic curve cryptography has reached a new public milestone. - largest *public* break of its kind - he (Lelli) used a variant of Shor’s algorithm (developed *1994*) - it targets the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), which supports digital signatures used by Bitcoin, Ethereum a.o. - The company (P11) said the gap between (cracking) 15 bits and 256 bits (f.e. BTC) is still wide; however, the distance is increasingly seen as an engineering challenge, not a basic physics limit.  - a Google Research paper last month estimated that breaking 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography could require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits. The California Institute of Technology and quantum startup Oratomic suggested the requirement could be as low as 10,000 qubits.  - In his (Pruden) view, that increases the urgency to move toward post-quantum cryptography. news piling up. slowly but steadily. "Q-readiness" may is the new "HD-ready" (for the older folks).

axyliah

And none of that matters until user experience is improved. Current money: I give you cash, you are now richer. Done. BTC: so you have to download this wallet… on a device you already barely understand… create a phrase (DONT FORGET IT!!!1), and then send the money.

bailuobo1

I never understood this argument that you can just borrow against your BTC. You need to pay the interest on that loan. Where is that money coming from? And you need to pay the principal back after the loan matures. Where's that money coming from?

Microstrategy has bought 10x more BTC this year than all ETFs combined. So yeah, it's just Microstrategy investors pumping everyone else's bags.

naleerkhan

I don’t have stories of holding for years, I’m more of a short or mid term investor. Also being a shrimp, I can’t afford to stack much BTC position and survive the volatility, so I looked for early opportunities instead. I participated in the Intuition (TRUST) token sale on Legion around May 2025. Within roughly 5 months, it pumped over 10x and I managed to secure around 8x profit

It's not true, you can definitely get your BTC out in other currencies in huge amounts daily.

Michael Saylor has a whole generation brainwashed. Yes, I have BTC but what he spews is absurd.

Difficult-Credit-313

Porque en 2026, Bitcoin ha dejado de ser un 'experimento' para convertirse en el colateral más puro del mundo. ​Mientras el resto del mercado (altcoins) sigue lidiando con centralización, fundadores con egos gigantes y cambios de reglas constantes, Bitcoin sigue haciendo lo mismo que hace 17 años: emitir bloques cada 10 minutos y mantener su escasez matemática. ​Para mí es la elección #1 por tres razones: ​Inmutabilidad: Nadie puede cambiar las reglas a mitad del partido. ​Absorción Institucional: Con los ETFs y fondos soberanos, el 'piso' de precio es una realidad física. ​Soberanía Real: Es el único activo que puedes poseer de verdad sin pedir permiso a un exchange o un banco. ​Después de ver cómo el sistema tradicional y los CEXs actúan de forma arbitraria, entiendes que BTC no es solo una inversión, es una póliza de seguro contra la censura.

Converting btc back to dollars is still what everyone does to realise profit or stop loss. BTC is a long way from common use

virt111

Been holding BTC for 11 years now. I did sell some along the way, but I'm still holding the majority thst I initially bought. It's basically free money so why would I sell now when it's only going up?

didnt_hodl

I do not see it as a problem at all, actually. Probably going to be an opportunity of a lifetime. BTC price would certainly go down dramatically if someone starts moving and selling Satoshi's coins. Might lose a zero, or hey maybe even two zeros. There will be panic. I will be buying a ton. The 1ZH/s network will certainly survive. And the price will recover eventually. And I will finally make my 100x. Unfortunately, quantum "computer" does not exist, it's all hype, it's been around since 1990's with nearly zero progress.

MakCapital

It's a bank holding a dollar represented via a token VS a bank holding a dollar represented via a number on their web dashboard. Same thing. One is more liquid. Not a slippery slope. Freezes required by law of every jurisdiction for both. The only things that ever promised tokens as perfectly pegged dollars without a central authority were protocols like Luna. That promise didn't work so well. Probably would work with BTC as the collateral (which they were moving to before collapse). Collapse probably good for BTC long term. Shortens the time needed for more to start seeing BTC as a currency. Luna would have just strengthened the dollar against BTC.

Think-Sector-6329

It's bullish, but I wouldn't overreact to one day. A big blackrock inflow usually means institutional demand is there, which is a good long-term. But ETF flows move around, so one inflow doesn't guarantee BTC pumps immediately. You can atch the trend, not the headline. Tools like blueblocx can help add context by showing if on-chain accumulation matches the ETF demand.

panthera_N

The chart shows that whales have been buying all along, while retailers have remained on the sidelines. With a cost of 75k, whales are happy with a 100% (2x) profit when BTC rises to 150k, but retailers want more than that. Furthermore, many people are drowning in altcoin losses of -80% and have no cash left.

MythicMango

lololol make a prediction and put your whole BTC stack in on it

ReelTech

15-bit ECC is actually a 32,768-key brute force which classical hardware does in milliseconds, so the 'quantum' framing is a bit oversold. Project Eleven's larger point is the trajectory: previous public demos were on 7-bit keys, this is a 256x-state-space jump. Useful number to track is 'logical qubit equivalents needed for 256-bit ECC' which is around 6,000 logical qubits per IBM/Microsoft/Google papers, current public hardware is at maybe 50-100 logical qubits. Roadmaps suggest 5-10 years before hardware threatens anything serious, but the threshold is steep so progress will look slow then sudden. BTC has time to migrate to post-quantum signatures (BIP-360 is the active proposal), the question is whether the protocol can coordinate the soft fork before it's actually needed.

yolomcsweg15

Thanks mate, much prefer this type of response. Majority of my investment is also in ETH and BTC too

RetiredAvocado

The implication is that Black Rock invested in bitcoin. But they did not. They bought BTC only because they had to. And they didn't use their own money. Shareholders of IBIT paid for and "own" that bitcoin since that's what IBIT share ownership represents. It is more likely though that big institutional funds bought a lot of IBIT shares rather than Jim and Bob. IBIT volume is like 20 million shares traded per day. It's not mom and pop trading them by the millions. It's the big money. So some "institutional buying" is probably happening when large "inflows" are reported. Hundreds of other ETFs include IBIT shares and buy and sell them in bulk all the time.

defeater33

While killer is being rude and presumuouse , having exit plan(estimate is okay),before buying is best. I once had to hold a losing ETH position for over a year because of it. Stick with ETH and or BTC for 90% or more of crypto investment. Even with safe ETH you can make 80- 100% in around year with out being lucky. 97% of my crypto is in ETH even though I have experience.

Right now we dont know how to use it properly so there is especulations and price fluctation. But in the end, even if it is worth 0 dollars, i would still use bitcoin to transfer wealth. I dont need banks, VISA and Mastercard. So i need BTC to be able to spend it once VISA and Mastercard are banned or the banking ssystem collapses.

InvestaHepps

The tricky part with flows like this is people jump straight from “money in” to “price up” without really thinking about how that liquidity is actually behaving. ETF inflows are definitely supportive, but they’re also very concentrated. That capital isn’t rotating around the market the way retail used to - it’s mostly just sitting in BTC exposure. So you can end up with a situation where liquidity is technically increasing, but it doesn’t really translate into broader participation or follow-through. That’s why BTC can look strong while the rest of the market just kind of lags behind… It’s less about whether the inflow is bullish… and more about what kind of liquidity it is.

TapThatYak

Yes. If you want to be a troll, tell them you have 1k BTC.

Get_the_nak

The Blackrock ETFs just like any other ETFs are legally required to buy BTC to reflect any inflow from ETF investors.  ETF investors are mostly retail and some companies/organizations. So tecnically it’s “institutional” but really, Blackrock is not investing.

Take a trezor, declare the 0.001 BTC that you have in your regular wallet. Put the pin on the device if they want to search it. Have the rest in your hidden wallet. Or just remember 12 words and create a wallet after entering.

No-Dig-4508

You do realise that all the BTC in the world is only worth at most the assets of those who hold it right? If the majority of the world don't hold it, it isn't really particularly relevant. Even if all Fiat collapsed, why would anyone that doesn't have btc want it, considering you coiners probably don't own much in terms of valuable assets or even just useful ones. You can only find someone to accept payment for service in btc if he can buy other goods and services with it. You will be trading between each other, while the rest of us trade goods and services with each other. Why do you think communist countries like East Germany were desperate to get their hands on western currency? They wanted to import coffee for example, but no coffee producing country would accept their Ostmarks. That's how currencies work. I hope you have all got lots of goods and can provide valuable services to each other, but I fear the reality would be one of you paying another one 1btc for a pound of rice.

UnbrokenLineage

BTC with gift cards is one of the riskier routes. If you’re just starting, it’s usually safer to use more direct methods and learn how transactions work first. Gift cards add extra layers of trust and potential issues. Keep it simple early on, then explore more complex trades later.

packingtown

People seem to be missing OP’s actual concern, which is that this was done on publicly available hardware. In response I will say this: the article states that his previous 6-bit key crack was done on a 133-qubit machine. Apparently the largest machine is currently sitting at 6100 qubits. I don’t think publicly available quantum machines are a risk. If/when BTC or other currency is crackable it will 100% be done in an academic setting first, unless there is a bad actor involved in the highest tiers of quantum research, which is certainly a possibility. As a final note the article says that people have theorized the 256 bit crack being possible with only 10000 qubits, so we’re dangerously close if the problem is that easy. Final answer: 🤷‍♀️

xxDH842

If he hasn't sold - I hope he has VERY GOOD records of this. Disposing this number on BTC or more precisely the cash will put him in the AML block with his bank asap and they will ask for a complete SOF/ Source of Funds. And this is quite a real problem, at lot of people put the BTC on a ledger back on the days and have no evidence any longer when they purchased them etc. Now with Monero and co to an extent some solutions exist, but liquidity is a challenge, and it comes along with spreads (ok, fair - with this gain you don't care about some percent) BUT as well again with Enhanced Due Diligence at the Crypto exchange, as they filter this out with Blockchain Analytics and slice it into the risk rating and depending on risk appetite are agnostic when it comes to privacy coins and/or mixers. But I think he has sold at the latest at 10K and shall still be filthy roch today. If not, he should start ... the current proposal for making BTC quantum resistant would freeze his coins, as the acquired them before the wallet update.

Its a ledger you're buying space at a given time on the ledger.

More people sell BTC go down.  If you want the get rich quick well not gonna happen LOL. Go get a job, learn to budget.

Suspicious-Holiday42

gad_E

The same cycle happens repeatedly and no one seems to get it. The market is dominated by 61% investment in BTC. Every coin derrives value from BTC. Even if argue that certain coins actually draw value directly from Ethereum instead.... I'm just going to point out that ETH has no value independent of BTC People get greedy every single time BTC skyrockets in value. They withdraw or borrow off of the newly enhanced value gained by BTC and decide to move it elsewhere in an effort to create" the next big thing.". Eventually, enough people do this to cause the value of BTC to start dropping - which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's literally removing the value themselves. The paranoid crowd starts doing what they do, which causes a small percentage of overly confident people who aren't paying close enough attention to extend their debt allowance beyond the respective threshold of their leveraged position, triggering panic sales & activating set stop/loss sales. Aren't you glad you decided to start or invest in that new memecoin that's now even more worthless than it already was to begin with.? Now go publicly complain about how panic sales are the #1 enemy of Bitcoin. Just leave Bitcoin tf alone once it gets going. Stop getting greedy.

NostalgicFor2012

“put your bitcoin in a cold wallet” As if them losing their keys isn’t 1000 more likely than Fidelity or Blackrock stealing their 5k-10k worth of BTC. If your goal is to just make money, and you don’t care about the tech of decentralized money, you don’t need to care about owning your keys. And just a little FYI, even if you want a cold wallet, those crypto hardware wallets are overpriced and overhyped. Using an external harddrive and an offline computer does the same job, TAILS comes with a crypto wallet iirc.

What are you, 12? Name-calling during a crypto debate with a stranger? All of these moving tandem. Haven’t you noticed that? When BTC moves down everything moves with it. So your three pics are not any different than any of the other ones. So you telling me to look at the chart doesn’t help your case. Get off your soapbox. If you were that great with charts, you’d be a multimillionaire.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Seems like this rally is running out of steam. Despite stocks and gold having another nice rally today, BTC has suddenly stopped pumping. The bulk of the shorts we had have already been liquidated. Now the new batch of shorts popping up have much higher points of liquidation to reach. On the other side, there's been a big build up of longs for a while that have been stored like powder keg. And they're not fresh and have been dated for a while. If we break down a little too low, it could create a domino effect with all that gunpowder of longs. And these major liquidation hot spots go all the way to $64K.

brianmonarch

What meaningful structural utility is BTC going to be used for? It’s the oldest, slowest, least green coin there is. I think you might be in a vacuum chamber if you think it’s going to be used for its utility. All it has at this point is a store of value. Which might be enough for it to get to a million dollars. I’m not saying it’s not. But it’s definitely not going to happen because of the reasons you mentioned above. If you want a coin that can actually succeed because of its utility, I think HBAR and XRP are far superior coins with companies behind them actually making moves with huge corporations. Just my opinion, of course. Way cheaper to use than Ethereum with its gas prices.

Ark3tech

One thing that everyone seems to be forgetting, or at least not mentioning, is that BTC had a new all-time high before the halving. To me that already showed me that the cycle was broken. Also, I love how folks just think that a bear market has to run perfectly like it has in the past, yet they don’t hold that same standard for bull runs.

MoverWhoStacksSats

The halving pattern is real and worth paying attention to but this cycle already broke the timing. The low didn’t wait until end of 2026 through early 2027. it looks like it already came in February when BTC held around $60k. That’s earlier than the historical 18 month pattern would suggest. The difference this cycle is the ETFs soaking up supply, institutional money that doesn’t panic sell like retail, and macro chaos from tariffs and geopolitical noise that front-loaded the fear. The Iran situation and tariff uncertainty hit all at once and BTC absorbed it without breaking down the way previous cycles did. 2027 might still be a great accumulation window but waiting that long assuming the old pattern holds could mean missing a significant move before then. The game has changed enough that the old roadmap needs at least some updating. BTC is always adapting so should we.

Reward per block today = 3.125 BTC/ $243K Average of 3000 transactions per block If we should do this today, an average fee would have to be above $80 per transaction, to compensate for the missing rewards. BTC below $1000 value would very rarely move. BTC over $1000 valuation would only move occasionally, not on a daily or even monthly basis. Noone is buying cappuccino with those fees. Which transactions will provide those compensation fees exactly?

MSTR is looking to increase their balance sheet by 25% this year. We are only half way into this bear market. Past draw downs have been 85% and 77%. It would be abnormal for BTC to spend the rest of the year averaging anything but a range between$40,000-$60,000. Don’t let a quick relief rally fool you. I’ve been doing this a long time. Even If the cost basis remained, $80,000->$200,000 would be in the 2-3x range. This is all sound and conservative.

Markets at ATH BTC/ETH barely moving from lows

Why are they all hiking away from the BTC mountain? The image is self-contradictory.

Interesting split tbh. Price action still looks weak, but conviction buyers stacking that much BTC is hard to ignore. That usually means smart money is positioning befreo the crowd feels confident. Treat this more like accumulation zone than confirmed bottom. Tools like blueblocx can help track if that whale/conviction buying is still hapenning in real time

I find that the S2F model is good (for me, a holder rather than a trader) in terms of long-term generalities, but it's not granular enough to really know when the "right" time is to buy, ie. I might mis-time by a few months. I don't have any crypto right now though, so I don't have much skin in the game anyway. But the slow strength of BTC and ETH over the past few months has felt like it's getting close to the right time to be a buyer.

Dude don’t get mad. You just came forward to tell us about the very BTC 101 foundation dynamic eeeeeverybody knows about except you. It’s normal you will get made fun of a little. Honestly you might want to erase your post and Google "BTC 4 year cycle" instead.

this is the new BTC/ETH - it never is
