LoL what ? Outperform ? How much is 1 ETH and how much is 1 BTC ?

Ok_Shoulder4287

No bro, never more. Do you saw the interview of the BTC CEO Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto? It's over!

If BTC hits $250K, it'll mean a loaf of bread costs $1,000.

The BTC remains in an onchain escrow till you repay.

cryptoshaman420

The tool lets you set any rate and term you want. Try a few scenarios: 8% over 2 years (conservative), 12% over 3 years (moderate), 15% over 5 years (aggressive). Each one gives you a full breakdown of monthly payments, total interest paid, and BTC accumulated vs DCA. Fully interactive, no signup needed.

BTC is down 20%+ in 2026 alone. What kind of cucked loser shit is this?

cryptoshaman420

Very sharp observation. Win rate does compress in more recent years as BTC's growth rate moderates with higher market cap. The tool lets you filter by date range so you can isolate 2020-2026 and see exactly how much the edge has narrowed. Still positive, but you're right that it's not as dramatic as the 2010-era windows. [https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075) Maybe i should add some more data about the prices it should reach for this to still hold true in the future. Do you have any suggestions?

Tasty_Action5073

Yeah, I believe their LTVs were at 50% and once bitcoin approach the $80K and below, they needed to fund their account with more BTC so that they don’t get liquidated.

Available_Win5204

All you have to do is look at both charts to realize ETH massively outperformed BTC over that period. That was in fact one of the dumbest financial decisions you could have taken lol. But glad you’re happy.  

cryptoshaman420

Most BTC-backed lending products actually benefit from liquidating borrowers. They get to keep the collateral at a discount. Very misaligned incentive. What we need is a mortgage-style product where the lender gets paid through fixed installments (not liquidation). The tool can show you how many positions from last year would've survived without liquidation btw: [https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075)

cryptoshaman420

Exactly. BTC at $1.5T is still tiny relative to gold ($15T+), global real estate, or equities. Part of the bull case for why the lump sum strategy still has legs. Room to grow.

cryptoshaman420

Respect the conviction. But think about it this way: if you have $20k cash and BTC is at $90k, you get 0.22 BTC. If you put $20k down and take a $45k loan at 12% over 3 years with fixed monthly payments (no liquidation), you lock in \~0.72 BTC at today's price. If BTC does what it's done after every halving cycle, you come out way ahead even after paying the interest. Run your own numbers: [https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075)

cryptoshaman420

Fair concern. BTC has dropped 80%+ multiple times and every time, people who held through it came out ahead. The problem isn't the drop. It's products that force-sell your position during the drop. That's the difference between a margin call and a mortgage payment. And brother in christ, if it drops to 500, sell a kidney and buy. Also here's the tool that lets you stress test worst-case scenarios against real historical data: [https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075](https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/8277d6c2-10e6-465f-ae6b-b6aafb1a5075)

cryptoshaman420

Right question to ask. The tool has a liquidation simulator for this. Set a drawdown threshold and see how many historical windows would've been wiped out. But if the loan has no liquidation mechanism (like a mortgage), you just keep paying and ride it out. Every single 50%+ BTC drawdown in history recovered. The issue is surviving the drawdown, not the drawdown itself.

It means more fake Bitcoin and more scams. Bitcoin only exists on the blockchain, and it is only yours when you hold it in self custody. When you do not custody your BTC, you only have the expectation of having BTC one day, if the custodian does not go bankrupt, is not robbed, or does not rob you. Until then, the Bitcoin belongs to the custodian, who can use that Bitcoin as collateral, make bets in the market, manipulate prices, everything at the cost of eventually losing that BTC and never paying you. In addition, instruments such as ETFs, funds with BTC as a benchmark, derivatives in general, are instruments for creating fake BTC. In general they do not need to maintain parity with funds registered on the blockchain, so they are manufacturing Bitcoin out of nothing. If we add up all the BTC already mined and all the BTC linked to these fiat system instruments that claim to be tied to BTC, we will have far more than 21 million BTC. Since this is impossible it is already possible to understand how scammers like Jane Street manage to manipulate markets so easily. The only option for those who do not want to help this manipulation, want to be the owner of their financial life, and do not want to lose everything to these scam speculators is to buy real BTC, only on the blockchain, and always keep it in self custody.

CaptainK718

In retrospect 2018 was my best year in BTC. Accumulated, stressed and wondered if it’d ever recover. 2026 will be a breeze.

Logical_driver_42

Something I just learned recently is you don’t need your hardware wallet to be on or plugged in to receive BTC only send it. I would just load up my hardware wallet once a week maybe once a month depending on you.

9gui

Does absolutely fuck all to BTC

Internet_is_tough

BTC has never in it's History entered a multi year bear market.

EmbarrassedGene7063

I’ve noticed most beginners I know just go with whatever their friends are using because it feels safer when you can ask someone if you get stuck. If it’s literally just BTC and some top ERC20s, I’d probably lean toward something with a really clean UI and big user base. Feels less intimidating that way. Hardware is obviously more secure long term, but I feel like that can be overkill at the very start if they’re just testing the waters. Curious what most people here actually use day to day. Is there kind of a default “starter” wallet everyone points newbies to right now?

dmx442

Bombs explode, When bomb explodes, things go up BTC goes up See, easy.

Inevitable_Pin7755

Honestly if you’re pretty green I’d stay away from perps for now. Sideways markets look easy until you get chopped up and liquidated. Spot + patience beats trying to be clever. If you believe in BTC long term, just DCA in with money you’re fine holding for 4 to 5 years. Trying to perfectly time the bottom usually just means you miss it. No one knows where the actual floor is. As for exchanges, for a beginner I’d stick with something boring and regulated. Coinbase or Kraken. Fees suck but blowing up an account on perps sucks more. You can always optimise fees later once you know what you’re doing. Bear markets are more about survival than making crazy gains. Accumulate slowly. Stay solvent. Don’t overleverage. I write about this stuff from a normal London guy perspective if you’re into long term building instead of gambling. Link’s on my profile.

PJacouF

You're a beginner, use Kraken and never look back. You can research about other stuff like no KYC later but for now, just use Kraken. If history repeats, it should drop more, but things aren't always certain. I'd suggest, dividing your BTC money into 2, DCA (buy daily or weekly with small amounts) some starting now, and wait for around the end of the summer to DCA the rest. After that, research about hardware wallets (I use Trezor). You don't need a flashy one. Get used to them really well. Know everything about "being your own bank" then slowly transfer your BTC from Kraken to your hardware wallet. Then just wait. BTC upside in a typical 4-year cycle is 3 years, so repeat the strategy. Divide up the money, DCA some, then wait for a dip to DCA the rest for 3 years and never sell. And remember, it's all about making your life better. Which is why I think that it's ok to leave some BTC in Kraken (even after transferring to a hardware wallet) to sell after a good pump and cash that money out to treat yourself. Dips will always come to buy back.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

For those wondering why Bitcoin is pumping, it's pretty simple: \-War in the middle east \-Higher oil prices \-Disruption of supply lines \-Inflation getting hotter \-No rate cuts any time soon \-Turmoil in the stock market \-Average Joe not being able to afford anything Add it all together, and what do you get? A BTC pump.

Maleficent_Sound_919

Sure because BTC did so well the last times You can’t be this stupid… People were short so market pumps all it is

UWhuskiesRule

Maybe the fact that 2 of the BRICS nations just lost presidents BTC looks a lot safer?

Solluxander413

I use Tangem Mobile and I’m planning to upgrade to their cold wallet soon. It really checks all your boxes, super easy to use, secure and the company has never been hacked. It’s great for holding BTC and ERC-20 tokens.

paidzesthumor

Silver started crashing at 9:10 EST, BTC started pumping at 9:25 EST Some whales are definitely rotating between the two

partymsl

People who ask him are usually in big debt, so obviously they shouldn't buy BTC, especially back when BTC was an even higher risk project.

partymsl

Exactly. People don't realise that he is supposed to give low-risk advices, so it did make sense to not buy BTC at $5k.

HodlVitality

You just have to trust someone else until you’re able to rely on yourself, for example feeling safer keeping your bitcoin on CashApp or Revolut, Coinbase, Kraken, River, Strike, etc. So you could do research and find which company you trust the most. Better advice is, take the risk of seizure out of the picture. Which means creating your own offline bitcoin wallet and parking your bitcoin there. I recommend Jade for hardware device, in stateless signing mode, and if available to you River for auto DCA, and personally I withdraw once a month or two to my own wallet, but that’s up to the individual, more or less. But if you really care about bitcoin asset protection it does take a few months to really understand how to best go about the process. Research. It’s kinda fun and you learn a lot of other stuff too. An easy YouTube channel I used to watch was BTC Sessions, he has lots of videos that go through the process and explain why to do things. Sorry for the long response just thought I’d share!

newgreenwichmd

Devaluing your local fiat currency aka printing money is sometimes the only way to continue a long war to keep financing it as a government. That in turn is good for BTC and other hard assets as people flee from their worthless fiat money.

richardto4321

Butthurtcoiners in 20 years when BTC is well over $1 million: "This is the longest running scam ever. So glad I didn't touch that shit!"

cashflashmil

First off, respect for admitting the first trade was luck. Most people don’t. If you’re new, I’d strongly suggest staying away from perpetuals for now. Perps look attractive in sideways markets, but they amplify mistakes fast. Fees, funding, leverage - it adds up quickly, especially if you’re still figuring out your edge. If you believe in BTC long term, a simple DCA strategy is usually smarter than trying to time the exact bottom. Nobody consistently nails the bottom. Scale in slowly. Keep dry powder. Don’t go all-in on one level. As for exchanges:  • Coinbase: expensive, but simple and relatively beginner-friendly.  • Kraken: solid middle ground, good reputation.  • BYDFi or other offshore/no-KYC platforms: more features, but also more risk and complexity. I wouldn’t recommend that route if you’re just starting. Focus less on “where” and more on “how.” Risk management > platform features. Also, if you’re trying to understand how BTC behaves in bear phases, how liquidity shifts, funding resets, macro headlines hit price, etc., I write short daily breakdowns in my newsletter, WebSnack. It’s not hype - just clear context around what’s actually moving the market. Might help you build a framework instead of relying on luck. Whatever you do, protect your downside first. Staying in the game matters more than catching one big move.

No_Giraffe_4647

The capital from Middle East has to flow in something safe that could not be easily confiscated or that will depreciate in value so BTC is one of the best way offered. Moreover the scarcity make it resilient against currency devaluation even though the high volatility is still a kind of hurdle.

Ratedr88

If you were Middle Eastern wouldn't you be hedging with BTC right now?

DasKapitalist

No kidding. It went up 5-6% as soon as the tradfi markets opened because retail BTC trading over the weekend doesnt move the way institutions do in response to geopolitical stuff.

DDDqp

Who would have known warmongering is good for BTC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sweaty_Platypus69

Liquidating all the shorts.. and then it will liquidate the longs. Typical BTC doing its thing.

jeancur

To be fair, BTC can’t be hit with a Shahid weapon, so closing the market full of people is a good idea.

cashflashmil

I get your point. BTC has always reacted first because it trades 24/7.

Logical_driver_42

Taking a loan and knowing nothing about BTC is wild behavior. That’s coming from someone who plans on using 35k in margin to buy a BTC if it hits 35k and I would literally resolve that in a week if just have to sell some positions in a bunch of stocks. Please do some more research before you go 50k into debt on something you don’t know anything about.

Aerocryptic

BTC doesn't want to drop despite the events. Looks pretty likely that we'll get out of this range to the upside

knifter

Yeah, i agree. Having $1,000,000 is more than having BTC on sale for 70k. It'll only be less when and if BTC passes 1M.

BuildWithJohnny

I don’t think Bitcoin is only a store of value but that’s the role it has most successfully captured so far. Base layer BTC is optimized for security and decentralization, not high throughput. That naturally pushes it toward being pristine collateral and long-term settlement. Medium of exchange use cases likely scale on second layers while the base chain acts more like digital reserve infrastructure. Calling it just digital gold might undersell it but ignoring its monetary premium narrative also misses what’s actually driving adoption. It can be both a settlement layer & a global neutral collateral asset.

nightwind_999

BTC is only 0 and 1

BuildWithJohnny

I’d avoid anything too DeFi-heavy at the start. Exodus or Trust Wallet are good on ramp wallets for BTC & ERC20 in one place. Once they’re comfortable moving to hardware wallet for long term storage is the upgrade path.

retracement

Sell your stack then if you think that. I couldnt care less if you HODL or sell, it's not going to change what I do....And if anyone is in BTC for short term gains then you probably should invest your money elsewhere.

Snoo87653

Strength? The worlds been burning for a while now, BTC was supposed to thrive under such conditions but its cratered instead.

Ourcrypto_news

Bitcoin did react to the Iran conflict, but not in a typical safe-haven way. When the news broke, BTC dropped sharply for a short period as risk assets sold off, then recovered fairly quickly. A few reasons it didn’t look dramatic: • Crypto markets trade 24/7 and react fast to news and liquidations, so quick drops and rebounds can smooth out over a couple of days. • Bitcoin now behaves more like a risk asset correlated with stocks rather than a gold-style hedge, so geopolitical stress can trigger selling first. • Some of the tension may have already been priced in, so the initial shock was smaller than expected. In short, it did respond, but the recovery made it seem muted.

Ourcrypto_news

It’s definitely feasible, but there are hurdles. Even a tiny allocation say 0.5–1% of AU super funds would be a **massive influx of capital** into BTC, likely pushing prices up and increasing mainstream legitimacy. The challenges are mainly **regulatory compliance, custody solutions, and fiduciary risk**. Funds have to prove they are managing volatility and safeguarding members’ money. But as infrastructure matures and ETFs or custody options improve, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing experiments in the next few years.

Ourcrypto_news

Thailand going 0% on BTC capital gains is huge. Removing tax friction makes it way easier for people and businesses to actually use Bitcoin instead of just holding it as a speculative asset. It could **boost adoption locally** and maybe inspire other countries to rethink their crypto tax policies. In the long term, simpler and lighter tax rules make crypto feel more like money and less like a gamble.

_millenialcrisis

Nah bro, calling BTC *only* a store of value is kinda outdated. The digital gold narrative makes sense because of fixed supply and halvings. But in reality BTC trades like a macro asset most of the time. It moves with liquidity, rates, ETF flows, risk-on risk-off sentiment. Most of the serious volume isn’t even spot. It’s futures, options, perp markets driving price discovery. A lot of top crypto KOLs like Evan Luthra and Arthur Hayes have pointed out that BTC’s role shifts every cycle. Sometimes hedge narrative. Sometimes pure risk asset. Depends on the macro backdrop. So yeah, store of value is one layer. But saying that’s all it is ignores how the market actually trades it.

elfr1tz

Not really bullish for crypto inflows tbh, until China opens capital access, BTC rallies will lean on Western and broader global demand

shitcanfly

BTC done for. Last year proved it just literally just a pile of garbage

Ourcrypto_news

This isn’t a short‑term “BTC goes boom tonight” thesis. Hayes suggests waiting for *actual Fed action* before loading up.

Easik

Yes. Everyone that's long and on leverage in the US stock market will get margin called and need to find liquidity. Risk on assets are sold first. There will also be mass selling of US equities & BTC ETF outflow.

Coffeeoverclocked

I think BTC can hit 100k again, but it depends on global liquidity and how quickly the Fed shifts its policy. The market loves surprising people when everyone is waiting for a dump to 40k. If there’s even a small window of optimism, money flows in fast and the price jumps higher than expected.

OkZucchini5351

UD market isn't open yet. But the dollar index being up over .80%, gold up over 2% and NDQ futures beings down spells very bad for BTC. Wouldn't be surprised to see a very fat red candle in about 2 hours from now.

WallAas

I don't think altcoins are worth anything long term. So my advice, start with BTC only and learn more about bitcoin, what it is, etc... so you'll have a better understanding of "crypto" and will be able to choose what you want to do

Focusing on negativity and hoping for the failure of others are both things that make one miserable. The sub there is full of sad people who don’t benefit either way but just want to desperately be right. Unless BTC drops down to 2010 values, they never will be right however.

Hot-Canceld

I started buying crypto when BTC was at $7k and I regret gettings alts every day

Inevitable_Pin7755

Yeah I think 100k is possible again. Not guaranteed, but possible. People forget how fast sentiment flips in crypto. One month everyone is calling for 40k. Next month we’re 25 percent higher and the same people are suddenly bullish again. It does not take much. A bit of liquidity, some ETF inflows, macro easing, and things can move quick. BTC doesn’t grind slowly forever. It compresses and then just rips. The funny thing is when too many people are waiting for 40k, it often never comes. Markets love frustrating the majority. If everyone has bids lower, price usually runs just high enough to make them chase. I’ve seen that play out so many times it’s boring at this point. Humans don’t change. That said, if we do hit 100k again, I wouldn’t assume it just keeps going vertically. Big round numbers attract profit taking. A lot of people are mentally anchored there. So the real question is not can we hit it. It’s what do you do if we do. Have a plan before it happens. Otherwise you’ll watch it, screenshot it, tweet about it, and then round trip gains. I’ve done that before. Not fun. I break this stuff down properly in my newsletter for people in London trying to build real wealth without delusion. If you’re serious about money and not just vibes, check my profile and have a look.

Logical_Historian_95

Great. Bittrex the exchange who used to manage BTC closed its operations in early 2025. I have, to the best of my knowledge, atleast 2/3 of BTC and a few ETHs, but now that freaking Bittrex is gone, how can I find or access my lost treasure? I am sure my hard earned money purchased of these coins cannot be lost and these coins are sitting somewhere knowing with their keys/addresses. These coins cannot be lost in oblivion. I bought them in 2018 using my PNC Bank personal checking account. Anyone who could help me I promise I will not only appreciate but reward him/her financially.

It's not a secret that the USD (or any inflationary fiat money) will eventually go to zero. It is designed that was. So obviously, I think that the USD will definitely hit 0.00001 BTC again.

Inevitable_Pin7755

If you’re new and already feeling overwhelmed, that’s normal. There are thousands of coins and 95 percent of them won’t matter in 5 to 10 years. For beginners, BTC only actually makes sense. Not because it guarantees anything, but because it’s the most established, most liquid, and the easiest to understand at a high level. You can focus on learning what money is, how halving cycles work, how volatility feels, instead of trying to analyse 20 random projects. Most people lose money early not because crypto is evil, but because they jump between narratives. One week AI coins, next week memes, then some random small cap someone shilled on Twitter. If you want simple, BTC and time is the cleanest strategy. Buy gradually, hold, and accept volatility. If later you understand the space better, then you can decide whether you want to allocate a small percentage to higher risk stuff. If you can’t handle 30 to 50 percent swings without panicking, you probably shouldn’t be deep in alts anyway. I invest from a normal salary and break down how I think about Bitcoin and risk long term, so if that perspective helps, it’s in my profile.

BuyTheDip_Repeat

Some call it a scam because it’s complex and has usability issues and a few bad actors/promises early on. But the tech itself is real and useful for fast BTC payments...

BuyTheDip_Repeat

For a beginner holding both BTC and ERC-20 tokens, Trust Wallet (easy and free mobile option) or a Ledger device (best security for larger amounts) are the simplest choices.

External_Anteater730

Looks like massive copium to me, gold/silver is pretty decorrelated from BTC movement over the past 3 months (and throughout the lifetime of BTC, which follows SPY much more as a speculative asset). Seems to me like the remnants of the BTC recovery are due to either the banks priming exit liquidity or retail buying back in with the expectation of a quick Iran war, but it's not going to hold long term if SPY keeps SPYing down

mel2000

> Never leave your money on an exchange. I never left money or BTC on CashApp. The small amount of BTC I have there is by accident and will be used for a later purchase.

big-papito

Smart money is rotating out of memes while the bagholders are acting like it's 2020, lining up to fill the bags on the "dip". This is why all memes are struggling - TSLA, BTC, you name it. It will only get worse. The world is changing in front of our eyes, and the only place safe right now is gold (and will be for the next few years).

Small_Appearance2014

That mindset shift makes sense. If you don’t want wrapping or bridging, options are limited: • Centralized lending (counterparty risk) • BTC-native yield protocols (smart contract risk) • Running a Lightning node (low, active returns) • Covered calls (caps upside) Real yield = real risk. If it’s high and “safe,” it’s neither. Best move? Keep most in cold storage, experiment with a small %. Protect the base first.

Glittering_Fact5556

If you’re new, BTC-only is the simplest way to avoid hype and confusion. Many start with Bitcoin and diversify later once they understand the risks.

vulnid

You should always do deep research if you're deciding to invest a lot into something, so start with that and also don't just go "all in" on BTC, you should DCA and also ensure you always have good savings set aside and your monthly purchases are good to go so you never need to sell
