BTC

DryMyBottom

it probably doesn't matter if you're investing with the intent to hold at least 10 years, but DCAing is usually a better way to buy BTC, especially in times like these

Comprehensive_Menu43

What do y'all really need more than 10 BTC for? You greedy basterds

Datsyuk420

Red. If I changed my past I would not have my wife and kids. 10 BTC is enough. Red all day. Zero regrets.

Then he should buy that BTC at market price straight from exchanges. He's not doing anything for the price at all

10 BTC now.  I don't want to live though Obama/Biden, the beginning of woke, and COVID-19 again.  Plus GoT Season 8. 🤮

Yungpharao_oh

I will take the 10 BTCs now at least I know for a fact what they’re worth today but if I go back in time I have not guarantee that things will play out in the same way that they have in this timeline - BTC might not have taken off in that other timeline for all we know.

> eth's not a slot machine ETH is a double speculative asset that historically has a 0.96 correlation coefficient to BTC. *ETH only appreciates when BTC goes on parabolic bullruns otherwise it does nothing relying entirely on BTC for any appreciation of value. - Summer 2017, ETH hits ATH of $400 after BTC hits local top of $3,000 - January 2018, ETH hits ATH of $1,400 after BTC hits cycle top of $20K - May 2021, ETH hits ATH after BTC tops out in April 2021 - Nov 2021.

I will take 10 BTC right now, what if I go back in time the result if me have this think of knowledge leads to some bad thing just saying I am an over thinker some times

R0ughHab1tz

I would take the 10BTC now. If I altered my life any other way I wouldn't be in the position I am in. Sure there are things I wish I could have not done or experienced but I would be afraid to completely alter the fabric of time destroying the universe

If only negative sentiment = bottom. BTC would have dropped from $69k to $50k in 2022 and that would have been it, bull market resumes because it must. Sentiment is low.

morning_mushroom

I was sold the crypto story in 2018... Was watching podcasts and all... So now is 2026, I don't see any real utility here beside maybe stablecoins if you want to transfer cash to someone. This is or was nice story, but now it is obvious crypto hasnt toppled the banking system amd will only be used for the USA to get rid of its 13 trillion debt to a degree, like they did with gold... So maybe just keep BTC positions, all else is relatively useless. Presonally I closed all my position this year, except stupid ADA as Daedalus was so damn slow. Good luck anyway :)

Flimsy_Attorney_9206

Are we all still behind the rise of BTC in 2026?

Django_McFly

You're mad because BTC is "only" over $90k and the horrors of 400% gains in two years. How quickly we forget that the Biden admin was trying to destroy defi. Paxos does the most audits of any stablecoin provider and even that wasn't good enough for the Biden admin. They ordered BUSD be destroyed. They were suing companies like Kraken for offering staking. The IRS was going after individual citizens who were staking. They cozied up to the biggest scammer in history and when that blew up on them, there reaction wasn't, "we should have done more due diligence." No, the reaction was, "fuck it, let's burn the whole damn thing to the ground!" They went after the most legit and compliant of actors. They had already come for stablecoins and were about to issue a knock out blow. I can't in any world see how the party that was literally trying to destroy the industry/technology was going to flip the switch. Flip the switch when they won and people voted for the anti-crypto army. It would be a nightmare for crypto had they won. They were literally running on making it a nightmare for crypto. Destruction of the industry is way way way way worse than having a grifter co-sign it. Obvious grifters are actually pretty easy to ignore and avoid.

All in on BTC, only take a loan on it when i need some usdc.

CyberCrud

Translation:  $100B cashed out.  I know it's going to come as a shock to some of your hodlers, but some of us take profits, rinse, repeat.  While some of y'all never sell, hoping for the day that BTC hits a million, folks like me have eliminated credit card debt and paid off mortgages.  I'm a debt free homeowner in my 40s and I still hold BTC.  I just know when to buy and when to sell.  And I have no regrets.  

metal_jester

Is take 10btc right now. My memories with my kid, my wife... No guarantee if get them again if I went back and put £100 and cashed out which it was 3.5 billion in BTC lol. Rather a little 700k now to hold, maybe cash in a little to pay off the house. It ain't much, but it's an honest life.

Aromatic-Ad7987

Neither are quantum resistant and that should matter to everyone, so until they fix that ... Tell me why BTC has value?

dmanthony41

I’m in Canada and would gladly take the $1,129,000 right now. If the going back in time doesn’t ruin any of my memories and I know to buy BTC then, I’d take that option instead. 10BTC gives me early retirement, but buying 10,000BTC back then would’ve cost me almost nothing.

MrWonderfulPoop

Monero is doing well. BTC and XMR are the only two bags worth keeping.

myafrosheen92

You could go back in time and get hit by a bus for all we know. Plus, who is to say that you'd meet your spouse? If I was 70+ I'm sure that I'd want to go back in time but right now I'd take my chances with 10BTC and the life I cutrently have

Shmolti

BTC was like 30 cents in 2010 lol you could buy way more than 10

The305don

10 BTC only because of if I went back I wouldn’t have my 2 yo son now ! There’s nothing I love more than him! But yeah if I could go back 10 years I’d be a billionaire now ! lol

Revenantjuggernaut

I moved everything to ETH TAO. I just started in Aug and lately my guts been saying ETH an SOL. I was like 🤔 ok! Reallocated the BTC to ETH and SOL. I squared 95% of my ETH at 2900 then it goes up to 3300 so I took the SOL swapped it around to grab the rest of the ETH I needed and some TAO. Was getting worried with BTC up to 95,000 from like 87,000 last week. Then it just dropped to 92,000 so I’m feeling good look at ETH everything’s tanked hard ETH moved 100$…..

Carbonaraficionada

Who wants to live in the 2020's? Everything since 2015 has sucked. Send me straight back, the BTC is just a cherry on the cake.

VIXtrade

Definitely a question if buying BTC or ETH is a bad idea. >you'll make profits over the long term. Bad idea to just assume this. It's not a stock & there's no fundamental earnings growth. Price only goes up if speculators are willing to pay more to spectate. Crypto could be trading 80% lower a few years from now. It has crashed many times before.

ultraganymede

what is more likely you receive 10BTC in your wallet or Time machine exists and somehow you were chosen to go back in time?

SeaBass_Farts-3755

How does one literally buy non-kyc BTC? Say you use HODLHODL, first I assume you have to take cash and get it into some digital system. If you transfer from your bank account to a digital system and then to HODLHODL you’re still traceable. Would like someone to explain the steps exactly how you would get cash from a bank account without it being traceable.

The world has been uncertain since 2020 and yet the syp500, crypto, silver and gold are all up in huge profits since 2020 to date… Dont go all in nobody knows if tomorrow trump invade Greenland and BTC drops to $50k but also dont be afraid to invest during uncertainty if your holding longterm

tj78492

That's actually why being a BTC maxi is better. Instead of the shotgun approach you can put real money in and ride the wave.  A 2 - 3x on 10k if you just wait is way better than spreading that 10k among 10 projects and hoping you can time your entry and exits right.  With bitcoin you can buy and hold with minimum stress. No way you doing that with alts, if you don't catch the rip it's a slow bleed to 0

Prestigious-Heat295

What do you mean I ain't ready??? I've been holding my stack for dear life and adding in the fibonacci dips... Question to ask is BTC ready??? So many here waiting with abated breath.

AcanthisittaEarly983

BTC, SOL, ETH. DC, hold. That's all. It will go up again, hell we are at 92k now. Don't mess with weird shit coins and don't invest money you can't burn in your back yard right now. It sounds like you broke the "don't mess with weird shit coins" rule and sadly that means losing money most of the time, it's just blind gambling and you'll always convince yourself "it can still go higher" then that turns to "it will pump to last months high again and I'll sell". Nothing but a vicious cycle of losing money. Like others have said, time in the market always beats trying to time the market. 

Prestigious-Heat295

BTC still needs a lot more adoption before it can topple gold. All in good time. It's quite phenomenal what btc has gained since Genesis. In the future I suspect we will be only talking about SATS.

Due-Two2629

Everything in crypto besides BTC is speculation/gambling. There is a reason why people say that 99% of alts will not survive

Peter Shit is back with another dumb take... I'm gonna Buy more BTC!

ILCARNE1991

It's not a question of whether buying BTC and ETH is a good or bad idea, but rather the strategy you have in mind. These two assets have less volatility than altcoins, so you'll make profits over the long term. Since you're just starting out, I recommend you always educate yourself on this world with videos, etc., because knowledge and understanding the markets is essential. However, in my opinion, if you're not someone who wants to expose yourself to market volatility, you've made the right investment.

InstallTheLinux

Wonder if he'll be given another chance to cause economic harm after this all ends in disaster, couldn't imagine how people are willing to trust someone with his record and what he's doing with bitcoin. Surely this is the biggest red flag ever, once it goes tits up everyone will be saying how this was the most obvious trap of all time but I guess greed outweighs common sense. Just buy BTC instead of investing in this titanic waiting to happen.

Godex_io

0.1 BTC is the new “I made it”. The hardest part isn’t buying - it’s understanding. Welcome to the rabbit hole

Once you bought BTC from KYC exchange. Government will know how much you got regardless of what you do afterwards.

Stock-Sheepherder258

"Congrats on getting started! Buying $BTC and $ETH at $1.5K each is really early in the grand scheme of things. Crypto moves fast, so there’s always a ‘better time,’ but the key is holding and learning rather than stressing over perfect timing. Starting small, being consistent, and only investing what you can afford to lose is the safest way to go as a beginner thanks

Ok_Budget9461

I understand the argument that BTC and ETH are the more “solid” options, but I think a lot of the discussion mixes everything together without clearly distinguishing what each asset is actually trying to be. Bitcoin, for instance, doesn’t really compete on utility in the traditional sense. It doesn’t aim to host apps, generate yield, or constantly evolve. Its value proposition is much narrower and intentional: to be neutral money, with clear rules, fixed supply, and censorship resistance. It’s not about “doing things”, it’s about protecting value without relying on intermediaries. That is a form of utility, but a very specific one. For some people, it’s essential; for others, it feels insufficient or boring. Both perspectives are valid. Ethereum is a different type of asset. Its value depends on activity, usage, and functioning as economic infrastructure. It needs motion to justify its valuation. Bitcoin doesn’t — it only needs its role as hard money to remain credible. I think a lot of confusion in crypto comes from evaluating every project by the same standards. Not everything is trying to be a platform, and not everything needs visible “use cases”. I don’t think BTC and ETH are “the only path”, but understanding what problem each one is actually trying to solve helps separate long-term investment from pure speculation.

Arijan101

BTC is too chaotic to be any sort of reliable store of value over time. Its price can fluctuate wildly based on everything from market manipulation to random tweets. No reliable store of value should vary in "value" 10-30% in a single day.

Formal_Lobster_2349

It’s simple, it’s just psychology of the investors. Bitcoin crashed from $126K to $74K, and this crash should take the Bitcoin to below $40K based on similar crashes in the past. Majority of the investors believe that it will go below $40K, and now everyone is waiting for it to happen before grabbing some BTC and try their luck. There are very high chances for it to go below $40K this year.

Prestigious_Long777

Not at all. If you sold 2500 BTC in one go today that would barely move the price. That’s only ~225 million USD. Short and long positions far bigger than 225m are constantly being opened / closed. In the past 24h there were > 54 billion USD worth of opened long and short positions combined. You need to short BTC with billions at high leverage if you want to affect the price. MicroStrategy regularly buys 10k+ bitcoins (4x more than your example) and the price might temporarily go up a few %, as exchange liquidity is limited, but then corrects again. Bitcoin has a lot of liquidity, A LOT. There are many price points even if there is a lot of FUD at which people are begging to buy. Even if a massive whale exits their BTC position, so many people are waiting to buy at lower prices new liquidity continuously comes into the market.

monchimer

Totally agree with you. Eth technology is amazing. Still BTC beats Eth's ass consistently. From the investment perspective, It is wat better to buy BTC and do nothing with it. My company was created as a "blockchain API" startup 9 years ago. We moved into something else 4 years ago

CryptoRoast_

Its wild how behaviour of BTC has completely warped what people consider good performance. Wall St bro's jizz all over the trading floor at a 5% gain, bitcoiners just shrug those kind of movements.

BTC and ETH crash as hard as shitcoins — down 80% — but when they recover, their upside is weaker than most alts.

Revenantjuggernaut

Well I don’t leverage. When I started in Aug I just dove into learning candle stick patters and how best to predict and read them. Market psychology. Depending on your goals and how much you have to start with. But best advice I had got in the beginning cuz I didn’t start with a lot. Was trade low market caps they will bring the highest and fastest return. But do you research and then recon them bad boys and make sure you have the trading volume that equals the volatility. Apparently ppl tell me I’m a swing day trader? I have my few projects I like and support and believe in the mission. Then when I get up in the morning immediately pull up news cmc crypto bubbles an start searching for the coins I believe I can make some money with for the day. And then there’s days like lately. I had to just dump and reallocated all my shit into ETH SOL TAO SQD. Only had $1400 into BTC my avg buy in was 87,000 and this was like when it was in the 90’s and I just saw it falling so I pulled the trigger and I’m happy I dad. I wanted to get a whole ETH an I got it!! Eth and Sol are gonna burst next for sure. Then I mean TAO is TAO. SQD being a data infrastructure running off ZK proofs that’s going to explode aswell and it’s a 73.27M market cap!!!!

That is not true. XMR outperforms both ETH and BTC wildly and it’s getting only stronger.

​I hear you, theory is easy, but navigating the Land Management department in Vietnam is the "final boss" of this scenario. You're right that you can't just hand a wallet to a government clerk yet. However, the "exit door" is changing faster than the average person realizes, even for non-millionaires: As of January 1, 2026, Vietnam's Digital Technology Industry Law officially recognizes crypto assets as legal property under civil law. While the State Bank still prohibits it as "legal tender" for direct payments (you can't pay the clerk in BTC), your holdings are now legally protected property. You don't need to be "wealthy" to use the tools of the wealthy anymore. Emerging fintech platforms allow you to use your BTC as collateral to secure a fiat loan. You get the VND needed for the home purchase, the government sees a standard fiat transaction from a bank, and you never "cashed out" or sold your Bitcoin meaning you avoid the capital gains tax event entirely. The Vietnamese government has launched a pilot program for licensed Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs). These licensed entities are specifically designed to bridge the gap between your digital property and the traditional financial system, providing the transparency that departments like Land Management require. ​The burning house only feels like it has one exit because we’ve been trained to think "Buy BTC -> Sell BTC -> Buy Stuff." The new 2026 reality is "Buy BTC -> Collateralize BTC -> Buy Stuff." You get the home, and you keep the asset that's protecting you from the fire.

Because they're both failed projects that don't scale and they're an embarrassment for crypto in general. BTC was purposely turned into a ponzi that has nothing to do with its whitepaper somewhere around 2015-2017. ETH has centralised governance that doesn't have users' best interests at heart, and everything it does, Solana and Avalanche and Sui and Aptos and a few others do better (I don't even hold most of these but it's true).

tldr; Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy, hinted at another Bitcoin purchase shortly after the company acquired 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has aggressively increased its holdings to 687,410 BTC, representing 3.27% of the total Bitcoin supply. Despite these acquisitions, Strategy's stock has fallen over 52% in the past year, raising investor concerns about its debt-financed Bitcoin strategy. Saylor remains confident in the firm's ability to handle market volatility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

BlockchainBacker, he did a pretty great video a couple days before he planned to sell, outlined his case about btc having topped, it was going to ride down, then chop right, then down, then chop right, then down. Pulled historical data, showed his reasoning which was very logical and to be honest, Trump has been a disaster for the economy just like his first term so I figured it was the safer gamble that it would go to goblin town and nothing good would happen. Then oct 10th happened and it's been shit city since. Not saying the guy is a prophet but, he was way more correct than all the f'n moon boys screaming "BTC to 200k!" And "Xrp to $20!"

ETH for the upside BTC for the sleep.

Either_Junket6500

I look for rejections of support, resistance and moving averages. I shorted BTC from the rejection of the 100 day moving average. Before that there was some good range trading. Create a strategy, test it live and refine your skills. Back testing is important if you're going to use an automated system, but if you're reading the charts and trading yourself then practice, patience and controlling your emotions is important. Just make trades that are good reward to risk (I generally go for at least 2:1) and are good chance if going the right way. Nobody wins every trade, consistency is key.

qwertydcf

All the "OGs" are just people who sold drugs on the Darkweb for BTC and Monero, went to jail, and coming out now.

The way to what? Bankruptcy? ETH and BTC were good investments 6-10-15 years ago, definitely not today at these prices.

A Decentralised AI economy: rewards real model intelligence, not speculation. If AI value > money value, Bittensor could capture a multi-trillion $ upside that ETH/BTC can’t. Bittensor could end up a bigger deal than ETH & BTC combined.. BTC = hard money. ETH = general smart contract settlement. Bittensor is “internet-scale intelligence as a commodity market.” Monetising real AI utility could end up far larger than BTC that mainly just stores value and transfers it.

SingularityXZ

1/What will happen when every country requires you to transfer your BTC, cryptos in general, to a regulated and centralized exchange for tax purposes? 2/How can individuals cash out without the government knowing? Why should I pay the extra tax when the government withheld my income taxes in my 20s which I used to buy BTC, then tax again on THEIR exchange when I sell my BTC to purchase a home in my 50s, then finally I have to pay property and amin taxes to legalize my home? 3/ It's ridiculous right? You probably won't need to answer this.

Illustrious-Boss9356

Here's the scenario which could play out with a bad actor: BRICS decide to divert energy in their countries to mine BTC. BTC becomes uneconomical for the existing miners, they drop out. BRICS controls 60% of the hashrate and forks the chain. Prices fall and fiat currencies are more "trustworthy" again. It would require someone with an energy cost advantage but can easily be done. The defense to this is the economic incentive for the good guys to all participate, unfortunately this incentive decreases asymtotically in the coming 1-2 decades.

Post is by: selarenfia and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qgyn3t/why_some_people_are_so_stubborn_to_understand/ So, I have been closely watching the market over the past year, and one thing is very clear: Bitcoin and Ethereum consistently outperform everything else. When something negative happens in the market, most assets drop by around 10%, while BTC and ETH often only lose 2–3%. Meanwhile, both of these networks continue building in the background, with real developments and upgrades happening steadily. Given this, it’s puzzling why so many people still choose the “gambling” route with low-quality altcoins. These coins rarely have strong fundamentals or long-term vision. They might offer the chance of a quick win, but the risk is massive, and the odds of sustainable growth are extremely low. It seems like the allure of instant wealth often outweighs rational investment thinking. People are drawn to hype, memes, or FOMO instead of focusing on assets with proven track records and real technological progress. In the long run, this strategy rarely works, and it’s hard to justify it as a serious investment approach. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Best way to protect against them is to withdraw BTC to cold wallet to reduce liquidity, like transferring a share to your name instead of Wall st corporation.

Absolutely.   This is why I think the "everyone gets BTC at the price they deserve" is a shitty expression. Sometimes people are on hard times and either can't afford to buy any, are forced to sell what they do have, or are otherwise stuck with a much smaller bag or at a cost basis much higher then they should, or intended, to have, through no fault of their own.  Saying it is antithesis to the spirit of BTC and the community. Its the modern day "Let them eat cake."

> MSTR Why not just buy BTC directly?

Do you own any BTC or just MSTR? If it's the latter, jeez.

You wouldn't be rich with 0.3 BTC 😂

The fun part here is that the buyer probably regrets it more as he would likely have to sell 50,000 BTC to buy the house. The seller probably would have sold the Bitcoin immediately while the buyer likely knew where we were heading. I would guess regret is much higher on the buyer side here.

Ethereum didn't scale. Users and their revenue went to scalable L1s and L2s. Plenty of builders made a killing on SVM. No one forced you to long hold ETH or to stay in Ethereum's ecosystem. Follow users and trade the market you've got. Not the one you want. If only intend to forever hold l1s, stick with BTC.

AI does not show signs of slowing down but the entry into QTUM/SMH or just QQQ could outperform BTC or ETH for a while or not.

A real person would've bought in 2010. 5000 BTC for $20 😅 also, this real person wouldve sold all 5000 for $100 😅😅

Hi. I would buy BTC in a bear market, as much as you can afford without it costing you too much. Then just hold it and don't get carried away. Ideally, back up your Bitcoin to a hardware wallet and never leave it on an exchange. Then wait a few years and you'll be glad you did.
