BTC

LightningTiger_8

Solid start, especially that you’re DCA’ing and already have a cash ISA + stocks ISA. Personally I’d trim XRP a bit and keep BTC/ETH as the core

Privateer_Lev_Arris

Bitcoin is the only real use case and it's mostly for its investment potential. It is basically digital gold. Gold, in large quantities, is too difficult to move/store safely. And that's why BTC makes sense and it has proven it's relatively stable as a holder of value.

TheVoidKilledMe

funny thing about BTC is that you can just say no ain’t a single sat leaving my stack without my approval send god himself we don’t care

Vidguy1992

Bro on Robinhood? You're cooked you don't even own the BTC

benstheredonethat

Has anyone considered mining the oceans for BTC? Most of its gotta be down there by now.

Crawsh

So you're trusting Polymarket's thin books over BTC spot and futures prices. Good luck with that.

dweeegs

BTC was above 90k for 3 whole hours this time. Luckily someone was there to shit out more sell orders again. Can’t be havin that

SnooMachines7409

My BTC are in Amsterdam canals, I swear.

BaluDaBare

BTC and ETH, yes.

BaluDaBare

Dude I’ve noticed the same. Everytime I took the traditional route to save funds I’d end up just pulling it out for dumb expenses. Now I have a hefty savings, a nice lil BTC and ETH bag, and still adding more. I think it changed my life loudly. Dont get me wrong, I still invest in the stock market for retirement and what not, but I treat my bags as just in case money. And I’m 100% happy with it.

Previous_Media6120

Yes, its speculation. But on the other hand, its the people arbitrary decision, which things are valuable and which are not. Apparently people decidet that BTC is valuable - like gold or anything.

Responsible_Potato76

I totally get that. But sometimes the market does give pretty clear signals that we're at extremes. It's really hard to fight the urge to leverage those events. How did you handle that when like the BTC top in March 2024, or when BTC at \~ $20k in 2022? Did you determine to stick strictly with DCA schedule no matter what, or did you adjust a little when it feels like a once-in-a-cycle opportunity?

Virtual-Metal9290

But for the owner it isn't settled yet. Anyone who frequently accepts credit cards has plenty of examples of the transaction being reversed weeks later. A zero confirmation broadcast on the BTC network is more finalized than a credit card swipe and takes 1 second. A lightning transaction is even more settled than that and takes even less time. If your transaction is many thousands of dollars then it might be worth waiting 10 minutes to call it settled... Still faster than a credit card.

Zzzaxx

USD has lost 50% of purchasing price vs assets like gold since 2020. BTC has returned 950% vs god's 100% in the same period.

Medium_Change4574

BTC: 3 Euro ATHs in 2025, all months apart

Right-Avocado3870

What the Stable Genius act said was that all stable coins legal in the USA have to be backed by US Treasury bonds. So welcome to the fiat economy! I am not saying that is bad. Stablecoins don't require ETH or BTC, though certainly some exchanges use ETH or BTC for transactions.

DryMyBottom

I still see my BTC as a store of value more than a payment system tbh

Kind_Soup_9753

Bitcoin is already way more valuable than price alone. I exercise our rights and freedoms and when CRA freezes my bank account in the midst of a battle (I don’t want to fund war and corruption) my BTC is still 100% liquid. Add off shore banking that accepts BTC in a none reporting nation and I’m still good to go. BTC was the missing link in our rights as the gov owns the money we use.

Blade_Runner_69

Might as well call this sub r/AntiCryptocurrency now with all the mouth breathers in here trying to shit on BTC etc! Filled with bots and R-Buttcoin morons.

Happy_Restaurant4906

Real estate, gold/silver, 70/30 voo/vxus. Exactly what I do now without the BTC.

FarTransportation957

Had a load of BTC on Zen miners. Does anyone remember that cloud mining site? Must have been around 2013 I reckon. Turned out to be a scam and the guy ran off with everyone's BTC apparently. I've heard he got caught and did time. What little I had left I chased alts in the next cycle. Timed it wrong and got wrecked. I bet the reality is very few who got in early have actually made life changing money.

BainTrain55

Oh look gold hit another ATH once again today. What’s that the 23rd day in a row I think? Surely BTC has to be..oh..nvm carry on.

NurUrl

I am not an expert, nor can I see the future, but I remember when BTC was stuck at 20K, then it got stuck at 30K, and well, we all know the story. It may go down or up, but the best option is to invest little by little, managing any possible risk responsibly.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Las Vegas businesses are increasingly accepting Bitcoin as payment due to lower transaction fees compared to credit cards. Business owners like Mike Peterson of Bouncy World Mega Playground & Cafe report growing customer adoption of Bitcoin payments. Companies like Steak ‘n Shake have also embraced Bitcoin, offering employee bonuses in BTC and seeing increased sales. The number of U.S. businesses accepting Bitcoin rose by 53% last year, with Bitcoin accounting for 22.1% of all crypto payment activity. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Yeah I know. But I do my own research and I have emergency account and all this things and everyone I know IRL tell me how dump I'm if I want BTC so I ask here first and than buy btc

TheScrewUp_WhoGrewUp

It took silver 21 centuries to get to $70 an ounce🤣🤣🤣 calm down tryna compare that to BTC

Albert14Pounds

Because you can easily look back and see how what was once a few dollars of Bitcoin became hundreds of tens or thousands of dollars of Bitcoin. The idea persists that you could still gain 100x+ buying a small amount of Bitcoin today and become one of those accidental millionaires someday. The problem is that Bitcoin has grown so much in price that it's now in the top 10 of market caps along with Amazon, Apple, gold, silver, etc. but for it to 10x or 100x from here would require radically reshaping the global financial system because now your talking about the value of Bitcoin being comparable to the entire market cap of USD or even the value of all currencies combined. There are significant headwinds to that and it would basically need to be accepted by a large part of the world as a legitimate reserve currency. This is certainly possible (inevitable if you ask some here). But it is going to be an uphill battle to get there. The most likely scenario IMHO where BTC goes 10x or 100x in the foreseeable future is not necessarily just because of demand for BTC, but also because of falling demand for USD and other currencies, i.e. inflation. If BTC goes to a million dollars, then a million dollars isn't going to buy you what it does today.

Exotic_Cantaloupe_96

Dame as always retail will return when BTC does a 100% up

derbyfan1

Nope, Im simply stuck on try to prove you are wrong and so far I am succeeding. The examples you have given above, are basic common sense. Basic common sense does not tell us the BTC price or where it is heading. The painfully simple question I asked you would revel alot, but Idk why, you cant answer it. Esp as you said you have withdrawn 7 figures etc.

thupkt

Bitcoin uses cryptography and is a coin. I understand your point, but it's quite pedantic, really. Yes I value BTC greater than all other such coins summed x100

FromThePits

The next 4 generations of my family will have BTC airdropped to them in pre-established interlocking wallets. In the letters attached to this system, I encourage them all to seek out professional guidance, to be in appliance with the tax regulations of their time. I also suggest that in case its just too cumbersome to deal with, they have the option to just pass it forward to the next generation. It's just 24 random words, after all.

yipeedodaday

for 38 years to be true does it not also require all the miners to stick around and continue mining at the current rate when some of those miners are guaranteed to get nothing for their efforts because only one BTC left?

zepoid

You've just outlined the reason BTC won't succeed as currency and can only be a store of value (unless things dramatically shift). There are two major narratives that have a stranglehold on BTC. That it's Scarce and Deflationary. People have heard the pizza story and have seen price-go-up, so the natural reaction is to hoard and wait for it to be worth more in the future. Inflationary policy for fiat is criticized, but it's one of the primary reasons money flows. It provides disincentive to hoard because it can be more valuable to buy or invest in something else. Google "velocity of money". Just something to think about as I sip on my coffee this morning.

derbyfan1

The only thing I understand is; You claim we are headed towards 'x'. I am asking you to provide proof - And you can not answer that succinctly. Without being offensive, that in itself tells me all I need to know about your claim. Again, I dont care about what you have done / predicted in the past. You remind me of a friend I had, who won several lottery's on the bounce. I am talking, like 10. He could never prove this to anyone, he is still working his 9-5 AND when I asked him for just one of the lottery numbers for the upcoming draw - Guess what? He would send me endless messages, but never actually provide an answer. Sound familiar? All this nonsense about buyers / sellers / reacting is nullified with one simple, painfully simple question. You will go to hell and back but you will never be able to answer this; **What will the EXACT price be of BTC in one hour from now?** To shut me up and all sceptics, you just need to answer that q. Not only does it fortify your post, but it will enhance your credibility 10000000%. On the other hand, ~~if~~ when you are proven wrong, it will reveal / expose the true nature of your original post. For the record, the question above still stands. :-)

flying-fox200

You should only *buy* on a platform, and then **withdraw** to your own wallet. Bitcoin is an asset you can truly **own**, in every sense of the word. It's not a stock. To own Bitcoin, you need to be in possession of a private key corresponding to some address that has received BTC on the blockchain. If you just have Bitcoin on a platform, such as Strike or Coinbase, then you're not the true owner of that Bitcoin - they are. To be in possession of your own private keys, use good wallet software, such as BlueWallet (for iOS/Android). Once you've amassed a large amount, think about getting a [hardware wallet](https://trezor.io/). Remember: "not your keys, not your coins." Never leave your Bitcoin on an exchange/platform.

MarzNstarZ

the paradox thing is kinda real tho. if inflation stays elevated BTC could work as a hedge but liquidity squeeze hits alts harder. volatility either way

epic_trader

Damn bro :D I'm just a hobbyist so it might be prudent of you to verify my claims before you pass it on. Anyway, yes, the way I understand it, there are basically 2 groups of unsecure wallets: 1 - Everyone who mined in the first couple of years would have exposed their public key in the coinbase transaction, so as soon as a miner received their reward, their public key is exposed on the network and their wallet is vulnerable. It's estimated maybe 10% of all BTC is sitting in wallets like this, including Satoshi's BTC. 2 - Any wallet that has spent BTC and has a remaining balance, because to spend BTC you need to sign with your public key. Estimates that another 20% of all BTC or more is sitting in wallets like this. Some of these are active holders and can easily migrate, but of course a large portion of these are presumed to be lost coins. Another issue with quantum security that people usually don't talk about, is that Bitcoin needs to replace its signature scheme. Currently it's based on ECDSA which isn't quantum secure and a signature takes up about 72 bytes of data and makes up about 33% of the total transaction size. Quantum secure signatures will take a minimum of 10x data potentially a lot more depending on the scheme, so this means Bitcoin will have its throughput severely restricted, maybe down to 1tps or less. I don't know if you were around for the blocksize debate, but this basically fractured the community, to took years to resolve and led to a bunch of key figures leaving the space, there was the whole Bitcoin Cash thing. It got really ugly and this was over something as trivial as how to increase the block size with a moderate amount. I can't even begin to imagine how they can come to agreement on freezing 10-20% of all BTC in existence and how to increase the block size 5-10x. Along with the security budget, it's really hard to see how Bitcoin survives without giving up its narratives.

FromThePits

A gave my two children some BTC 5 years ago. One of them sold it all back to me recently, to buy Pokemon cards. The other lost hers in some wallet scam. Ah well...

derbyfan1

Whats is the point of reacting, if it lacks accuracy? With that logic, can you use reactions to determine the lottery numbers? If you are talking probabilities, esp with BTC, thats like trying to predict which direction the next waves will head in. Aside form being pointless, you will almost certainly lack accuracy thus becoming a bit of a shitshow. If you said an apple is red and a blueberry is blue, I would ask you to show me a red apple and blue blueberry. You could easily demonstrate that and that would leave both parties satisfied. If however, you suggest we are headed towards $70k, I would ask you to demonstrate that by telling me the price in an hours time. You would then send me endless messages, but the one thing you will NEVER be able to do, is answer my question.  I feel like I’m talking to a 5 years old who doesn’t understand the concepts of markets at this point 🤦🏻‍♂️

biophysicsguy

Congrats on where you are now and good luck on your goal of reaching 1! I was in the same boat as you not long ago. Started investing about $1000 USD per month back in December of 2022. My income was about $4000 USD per month so I had to live frugally. After reaching a whole coin I kept investing and now have 1.2 BTC. My goal now is for 2 BTC.

FromThePits

When BTC WAS being mined in 2014 the reward of 25 BTC equaled an average of $13,175 per block. Today, with a reward of 3.125 BTC Miners earn $280,000 per block In just 12 years it hits $280,000 instead of $13,175 even though the BTC rewards has been substantially diminished. I expect this trend to continue. It will be very much worthwhile to work for those fractions of a bitcoin by then. But only time will tell :)

Blockchainauditor

Is there a reason you asked about the figure 0,00018 BTC? Is your question different than "What does the equivalent of $16 USD buy in your country"?

PMmeuroneweirdtrick

AI, metals, gold + silver are all pumping. No interest in BTC/crypto when you can make quick and easy cash elsewhere.

Pea-Pod-4165

Even a tiny bit of BTC feels like owning a piece of something scarce and untouchable, more about being in the game than quick profits.

vipprocr

honestly I'd pull 20-25k and split it between real shit like BTC/ETH and maybe some SEI. let the rest cook in case it actually runs

BainTrain55

Besides Peter Schiff, I never hear anybody mention to buy gold yet the price keeps going up up up. But if I go on any social media site, everyone screams buy BTC but the price keeps going down down down. Seems legit.

JKimRX

Then post your position, whether it’s leverage on a DCE or options on spot BTC ETFs. We can set a Remind Me alert, and let Father Time show the outcome.

Alberto_Dxh

Totalmente!! BTC is the best forever

JKimRX

Prove me wrong about what, exactly? You haven’t even stated a position to be wrong or right about. You preface everything with “if”- “then”. My DCA position is simply that BTC will go up over time. That is easy to prove. If you want to debate about that, sure.

ButterscotchAlive736

In that case everything is speculation including your weekly DCA for retirement. You’re doing it under a speculation of it being way higher in several years. What difference does that make against my “speculation”? Lol I’m not new with BTC. I’ve been daytrading and investing fulltime for over 4 years. My arrogance comes from backed up experience and years of seeing consistency in my strategy. Thats why I can confidently say that I can prove you wrong. Say the word and we can hop on zoom if you’re prepared and open minded enough to be proven wrong

derbyfan1

Great. I dont want examples of whats happened in the past. I can find you the lottery numbers - From the past as an analogy. I have made this painfully simply and succinct. I am prepared to concede I am wrong. All you need to do is, tell me; **What will the EXACT price be of BTC in one hour from now?** I promise you faithfully, if you are right, I will create a sub formally apologise for calling your post stupid. I cant be clearer and simpler than that.

JKimRX

Exactly. “if” means probability, which means speculation. I can tell you’re new to BTC by your arrogance. Time will tell.

FromThePits

In my country its approx. the same as 1 Big Mac menu. But to my great great grandchildren, 0.00018 BTC will be equal to approx. 2 weeks of worldwide release of new bitcoin, a hundred years from now. All the worlds BTC miningpools combined effort to dig out more bitcoin for 14 days straight, just went into my belly in 10 minuts today. Yum. This is the reason I have made a method, a chain to pass some BTC to the future - because I can certainly skip a meal to give my descendants a chance for a financial boost, even though I wont be around myself. I believe that, if left to faith - there probably won't be any bitcoin left for my family by 2126 because life just generates all kinds of obstacles in its way. Not even 0,00018 BTC, not even a Big Mac meal. Will your family own any bitcoin in 2126?

Clobbington

Oh god. People have been declaring Bitcoin dead every time it drops after reaching an all time high. Only for it later to recover and hit a new one. It was especially loud in 2018 when BTC dropped from 20k -> 3.2k. Now, we'll never see that price again and everyone wishes they got in then.

JKimRX

“If we get…” “looking more and more possible” Theres many possible scenarios, that’s why as a long time BTC bag holder, I’ve long ignored most technical analysis (although your statements are purely speculative). “time in market > timing the market”, especially true with BTC. Just DCA every week and chill. Most people aren’t buying entire 1.0BTC, so the price difference becomes less significant.

RedditLaterOrNever

Atm the BTC is on discount, so yes for sure I would say!

Logical_driver_42

Technically BTC was the first thing ever made that had are truly limited supply. Sure gold is rare but mining asteroids might be possible in 100 years material synthesis might be possible one day but BTC there will only ever be 21 million. Other currencies and commodities will always continue to be worth less and less comparatively. Over the short term things might go up against it but in the long run BTC is probably the best asset of all time.

derbyfan1

No no no no no. No zoom, no this or that. Its simple. I am asking yu, based upon your expertise and informed knowledge; **What will the EXACT price be of BTC in one hour from now?** Thats all I need to know, lets not complicate it. Afterall, you can *hop on zoom* and use *key levels* to determine where its heading. Im am simply testing the veracity of what you are saying.

Downtown_Ship_6635

Aliens will be able to attack BTC with their enormous hashrates. And they will not accept a currency already mined by us.

Full-Sound-6269

Bitcoin is connected to tech stocks, currently all funds went into AI connected stuff like Nvidia, AMD and Intel, speculators also left for precious metals. BTC is simply not on the agenda anymore right now.

Moon-Hodler174

I’m in the addition camp. I look at Bitcoin as my growth engine and physical metals as my anchor. With gold hitting $4,800 this week, it’s hard not to want some tangible weight in the safe. I’m not selling my BTC for it, but I’ve definitely started splitting my monthly hard asset budget 50/50 instead of going full crypto.

Arc_ClutchUp

If BTC is worth a ton everyone will, what? Even after all BTC is mined miners still have to secure the blockchain, and get rewarded as such. I preach it time and time again I think everyone needs to go read the bitcoin white papers before investing into BTC so that they understand how the whole structure works

derbyfan1

100% I would be open to be proven wrong. Absolutely. The key work here is; 'Proven'. With this in mind, based upon the current movement we are at, can you please tell me the EXACT price BTC will be at in EXACTLY one hour please? I want the exact price, rounded up to the nearest $, one hour from this post being published. I will set a reminder on my clock and we can check back to see how accurate you were. I promise you, I will be the first to conceded I am wrong and that your tools / knowledge does know sh.. about f... if you are right. I will also unreservedly apologise.

marcman623

Dude, use Coinbase or something... Robinhood is holding your BTC and giving you a receipt that you own it. Buying on Coinbase you'll actually OWN your BTC (once you move it to cold storage).

bitski44

It's all of those things, but the one that hit me hardest was opportunity cost. Every dollar you spend on your mortgage, rent, and taxes is a dollar that could've been denominated in the hardest money ever created. Once you start running the math on what those payments would be worth today in BTC, the "even a small amount" thing clicks fast. There's actually a free tool that does this for your mortgage: [neversellyourbitcoin.live/my-mortgage](http://neversellyourbitcoin.live/my-mortgage) The divisibility is underrated, too. 50k sats is still 50k out of 2.1 quadrillion. Nobody's making more. For most people, it starts as "number go up" and evolves into understanding the monetary properties. The self-custody, opting out of inflation, holding something no government can dilute... that all clicks later. But the core reason people obsess over owning any amount? Because time + fixed supply means even small stacks become meaningful. And once you understand that, you never sell.

derbyfan1

Its stupid because no one know sh... about.. ..... There's no analysis needed. If there was and it was to be remotely accurate, everybody would jump on that train. BTC is simply doing BTC things saying its going to drop to $70k levels, is no different to those who called for a $3k bottom during the last bear - They were both wrong and inaccurate and essentially talking out of it. Though having said all of that, I do consider a certain type of TA top be accurate - The 5-10 year chart. Have a look at that and you can see where the big daddy is heading.

PirateSKB

I mean, do you feel like besides the number going up, that BTC really does anything to justify the current valuation? from both a technological and adoption standpoint? BTC has done really well with adoption and growth overtime, but honestly it has really grown alot too, and each cycle naturally has diminishing returns

Suspicious-Local-901

Try DCA’ing that 800€ into BTC indeed. Checkout Relai for doing so.

MrMoo151515

For me it was reading books and understanding the true downfall to participating in the Debt-based centralized Fiat Ponzi scheme. It’s crazy to me that as a society we’ve just accepted that Inflation is mandatory to service the debt. We spend our entire lives to earn pieces of paper that lose value over time. And the only way to try and outpace that debasement is to risk your money in investments hoping it performs well. Or buying assets like homes and locking up your money attached to insane fees, taxes, interest rates, maintenance just to try and keep value that’s also not guaranteed. Of course people prosper in said system, but at the same time so many people follow all of the rules and still lose everything in the end. People buy homes in promising cities that decline. People invest in stocks, ETFs, companies, sectors and different nations that are all a risk and not guaranteed. And yes, I get that BTC is still a risk. But the fundamental principles of BTC in my opinion is the best chance at escaping that corrupted Ponzi scheme. Even if I’m wrong. I don’t care. I’d rather spend my time and efforts investing in something that’s fundamental principles is based on truth, clarity and sovereignty than to be a slave to the corrupt system that’s caused pain and suffering to people to so many people. Even if BTC goes to 0, I’ll be able to live with myself and know that I spent my efforts putting my resources into something that’s fundamental principles I believe is better for humanity and not just something that might buy me bigger and better things.

CaffeineComaMode

I think what he means is that it should be used for store of value for the time being. It's similar to how gold was about $20 per ounce back in the early 1900s vs today - \~$4900 per ounce. Of course 100 years is a lot of time to keep holding without ever doing anything with it, so OP is suggesting using your BTC as collateral to borrow what you need and repay in fiat when you can. This will let you keep you sats, while also gives you the cash you need for whatever reason.

Boring-Bus-3743

Nah BTC loan rates drop from around 7 to 4.5% in the last few months. Eth rates are 4.4%, just have the cash flow to service 10% interest and don't go over 30-40% LTV and you are golden

Just think.. more and more are putting it on DCA and forgetting about it. More and more are being exposed to it indirectly, whether they like it or not.. because a company in their employers 401K plan SP500 has BTC exposure. Limited supply with consistent DCA? Look at Silver :D

Arijan101

So what is the point of BTC then? In the white paper it is specified that Bitcoin is a peer to peer, decentralized payment system. " It is designed as a decentralized, trustless, and cryptographic, digital currency that allows online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. "

viklondon99

Buying Bitcoin, ANY amount, is good advice. If his dog gave that advice, it is good advice. Do you want only advice from a trained BTC professional? Guess what, there aren't any! A financial advisor? - they are not allowed to give BTC advice (UK). The advice is good

masterctrlprogram-

With respect, you're still thinking of BTC in terms of fiat if you hold this view. When you realize 1 BTC = 1 BTC (and believe it) the only conclusion is that the Fed (and all fiat institutions) must go.

Post is by: Kurosaki56843 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qks3m3/spend_your_btc_today_regret_it_tomorrow/ I've been seeing lately more and more news about “Business XYZ” is now accepting BTC as payment. Flights, hotels, luxury goods, software subscriptions, even small shops in parts of Africa and Asia are using Lightning. Paying directly with BTC is no longer a niche thing. And (don't get me wrong) while it's great to see such wide, accelerated adoption of BTC, it also seems kind of wrong.. We all know the pizza story - 10k BTC for two pizzas. At the time it probably felt reasonable, but today this would be considered insane. It's fun to meme the hell out of it, if you think about it - the same logic still applies, just with smaller numbers. If you pay 0.005 BTC today for a flight or a few nights in an Airbnb, what happens if that BTC is worth 10x or 20x more a few years from now? What makes this harder to ignore is that the main buyers nowadays are institutions, ETFs, public companies and even banks. The supply is fixed, but demand keeps expanding and more countries are openly discussing Bitcoin reserves or at least regulatory clarity that makes holding BTC easier at scale. We're slowly moving towards that period where everyone wants exposure, but fewer people are actually willing to sell. That is why I'm struggling with the idea of spending BTC for everyday purchases, even though adoption is great for the ecosystem. Selling feels final and once it is gone, it is gone. Wouldn't it be better to borrow (responsibly ofc) against your BTC instead of spending it outright? You borrow fiat and repay in fiat later, your BTC remains yours and you've covered the expenses you needed. Sure you'll have to pay some interest, but to me it sure sounds like a much better alternative than selling your stack. There are lots options for this today than people realize. For example Nexo offers zero-interest borrowing options, which let’s be honest - there’s no way anybody can beat that.. In many countries even banks can’t afford not to charge you. And this comes without forcing you to sell your BTC at what could end up being a terrible time. Ofc you also have options like Aave (2-4% APR) or Coinbase (\~4%) - options are abundant. I know some people will say hoarding BTC defeats the purpose of adoption. Maybe. But I also think we are still early enough that BTC behaves more like a long-term store of value than everyday spending money. For me, selling now to fund short-term consumption is equal to repeating the pizza mistake, just on a smaller scale. Happy to be proven wrong, but if your first instinct right now is to sell BTC or spend it casually just because you can, I honestly think you are missing the entire point of why Bitcoin exists. Scarce assets in the middle of institutional accumulation phases are not meant to be dumped for short-term comfort. If you do not see that, maybe BTC is not for you yet. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

As BTC becomes more stable it's more useful as a currency, which was the original intent.

This trash title makes it sound like buying fentanyl isn't the crime, but paying for it in BTC is lol. What a joke 😂

you genuinely don’t need it short term, I’d probably put at least some of it into BTC yeah. Not all in, but enough that if it runs you’re not sat there annoyed you did nothing. Worst case it chops around or dips and you learn to stomach volatility with a small amount, which is honestly valuable on its own. Holding cash “just in case” for months usually turns into doing nothing forever. If you’ve already been thinking about it for 3 months, that’s your answer. I’m biased because I DCA and treat BTC like a long term asymmetric bet rather than a trade. Boring, slow, no leverage, no hero moves. Works better for my head. Whatever you do, just don’t go all in emotionally. That’s where people mess it up.

There's more DCA on BTC than ever before and the supply is damn near completely minted.

Hm, I should diversify more, but I don't want to buy BTC or Eth since I collected alot over the years. I really need to sit down and research some projects to buy into and hopefully I can find a nice gem for 2026

What is your target BTC price in the long term?

I would first get a ticket for the train, so YES. After that it may not matter whether it rises or falls because you are on board, if it falls I would ask myself if I still see a sense and if so then I would operate a steady DCA. But of course everyone has to decide for themselves how convinced they are of BTC. Wish you the best luck ;)

ich würde mir erstmal eine fahrkarte für den Zug holen, also JA. Dannach kann es dir egal sein ob es steigt oder fällt weil du an board bist, wenn es fällt würde ich mich fragen ob ich dennoch einen sinn sehe und wenn ja dann würde ich stetiges DCA betreiben. Muss aber natürlich jeder für sich selber entscheiden wie überzeugt er von BTC ist.

Depends on your time horizon and risk tolerance. BTC isn’t a savings account.
