In 2133, all the banks has moved to quantum resistant protocols, BTC stayed with the original ECDSA, and there is no single quantum computer in world can crack it! That is the myth about Quantum computer As for the mining, future quantum miners might require billions of investment, but they consume very little power, so the mining is mostly moved to a group of large data centers with quantum miners running at near 0k temperature, instead of a group of mining pools. The profit is still high for the miners, but majority could not afford the miner itself
I imagine it wasn’t streamed online. I’d get home and transfer that BTC immediately
Fees will be very high because the price to send a single BTC worth $10M will be very high. And it's good if there is less usage on the main chain anyway because it can't support it. There will be layer 2's on top like Lightning Network, and others not even created yet, for retail to use.
You’ll hear input from many people with different opinions, but they’re just that: opinions. None of us know where the BTC market price will go tomorrow, or next week, next month or next year. I own Bitcoin. Decent amount of it. But not because I think I know where the market price will be next week or next month. I own it because I believe in censorship-resistant money. I believe in it as an open-source, permission-less. Distributed P2P network, and as a currency that’s durable, divisible, portable, fungible & scarce.
If you believe in the long term success of Bitcoin, then we can assume eventually the price will recover and surpass its prior ATH. Starting a short position 50% below ATH on an asset as volatile as BTC just doesn't sound smart. Like at all.
How about zcash? That is basically a fork of Bitcoin - even keeping the same 21m Max coins - but with a privacy layer bolted on. It is definitely not in a long term down trend against BTC.
Your instinct is already pretty solid here. BTC and ETH aren't really competing for the same job, which is probably why the choice feels harder than it should. BTC is basically built to be the "buy it and leave it" asset, fixed supply, longest track record, nothing you really need to keep tabs on. If low-stress and long-term is genuinely the goal, that's exactly the profile it's built for. ETH is a different kind of bet. You're not just holding it hoping the price goes up, you're holding a stake in whatever gets built on top of it, DeFi, NFTs, real-world asset tokenisation, most of it settles back to Ethereum in some way. That's the utility edge you're picking up on. The trade-off is it's a more complex asset with more moving parts, and it can be staked if you want it actually doing something rather than just sitting there, worth looking into if "leave it there" is still the plan. Since you're already holding BTC from a good entry, adding ETH isn't really an either/or decision, it's just not putting all your eggs in a single basket. A lot of people who want simplicity end up somewhere around 70/30 or 60/40 BTC/ETH for exactly that reason, not because one's objectively better. Only thing I'd genuinely flag: don't let "set and forget" turn into "forget it exists." Doesn't need to be active management, but even checking in once a year is worth doing. Good luck with it.
Fees will not be high if there's not much usage. And people use BTC as a store of value.
2012, that gives this post 14 years of experience and the sauce is: trust me bro, BTC more likely to go up or down than sideways. moon soon Nice
At 0.25 BTC for 7.8 ETH, is that good value then?
Because people are fucking broke and they want it to go lower so they can get more when it goes up. People hate their fucking jobs, they hate their student debt, they hate having people who depend on them and they probably also hate their lives. People are broke and they are only able to put enough in at any given time. "Keep buying more over time". Yeah, we get that but shit takes time dude. BTC is a rich gets richer thing. I really need it to drop to the low to mid 40s if I am going to celebrate.
Up 57% against BTC after 10 years... https://preview.redd.it/njf8nvw147lh1.png?width=1978&format=png&auto=webp&s=23726789e2cacc2eb56368195faf6af6678b6464
For peace of mind, long-term BTC is better.
Why not use it as collateral if you need fiat? This is common in securities backed lending when investors need cash. Borrow from your BTC, while it keeps growing in value and pay it back at a lower rate than the growth of BTC (in theory, depends on when you borrow).
Anyone who's been in BTC for multiple cycles has seen this play out over and over again Is the fomo bull trap.... Once this local high has exhausted all buyers, we're going to go back down for a while 🤷 If only markets were that easy to think that we're now in a bull market and just buy and you're going to make a lot of money. Just DCA and chill
What most people don't realize is that only a very small number of BTC is circulating as many are in hands of people who might never sell. Then there's a huge number of forever gone coins. Let the US buy one million BTC what do you think will trigger this? Supply could be very small very soon. And to convince Hodler so sell you only can adjust the price as there never can be new BTC. That's only a theory, obviously. But anyway I'm 100% certain that is never wrong to buy BTC as long as you can hold it for at least 10 years.
Standard Chartered predicts $500K Bitcoin by 2030, but ETH will outperform BTC over the coming years on a percentage basis
That's the point. We are thinking in terms and numbers related the "old world". I believe AI will mean such an important change to the world just as evolving from an agricultural society to the industrial age. Or horse wagons and cars. With such new technologies the global economy made always multiple x. AI will lead to the same. And then suddenly 1 billion per BTC is nothing crazy anymore. If the global liquidity does a 3x and BTC will be 5% of all value - we are already within dozens of million's per BTC.
You might be the biggest BTC bull I've ever seen. Lol. But good for you if you've been in BTC for awhile. It's likely served you well so far.
Demand for BTC has to increase for the price to go up. In 20 years, you think there will be enough demand for it to be in the billions?
You said it yourself OP. Some think it will fail. Others think it will succeed. “Everyone’s” outlook on BTC’s future spans the realm of opinions. Personally, I find it impressive that an asset that traded for less than $0.01 just 16 years ago is worth > $75 000 today. But there will always be naysayers who pronounce it “dead” during any market correction or bear market era. So what exactly did you hope to achieve with this question?
I don't think Bitcoin will vanish in the future. Call me super optimistic (I am) but personally speaking I think BTC will be within 10 years worth millions and In 20 years even billions. Based on the fact that global economy will rise with AI and BTC will have a larger share within in.
why would you do that? BTC is the one free and 1st coin. Stock exchanges have performed bette than BTC.
BTC is just another investment to me. Maybe in some remote areas or where people don’t have a banking system it’s good. Or if you’re sending large amounts of money and want to avoid the time and/or fees. That’s about it. My grocery story doesn’t accept it, my utilities can’t be paid with it, my mortgage can’t be paid with it. Work can’t pay me in it. BTC as a money, nah I’m good. Gimme really money and I’ll buy BTC to sell later for a profit
Why would I have heard of somebody who is bad at BTC security? What would I learn from studying this person?
They were told by their crypto TA gurus that BTC would bottom in the $40ks, and they believed it like sheeps.
stick to your original decision and leave the BTC alone
BTC only needs to stay scarce and secure. Alts actually need a reason for people to keep using them. ETH has that ecosystem but for coins like LTC surviving isnt the same as staying relevant
https://preview.redd.it/r7z30sank6lh1.png?width=1587&format=png&auto=webp&s=41a0e57d89be7ac0c4764f27b9233aadc9521ee5 Got the fall from 80k to 59k and reversal 😉 **BTC Levels (9th,may)** Price is hovering just above $80k and its likely a break below targeting $59K, Price opening below $59K is possibly going down for $35K An opening above $108 is likely heading for $146K Bulltards awaiting an oping above $80K *see you on the other side*.
ISM is in expansion after 5 years of contraction lol. Alts followed this while BTC did it's own thing
What time range are you looking at? That's most important when considering "top performers". I did analysis here that shows that XMR and LINK were the first movers in this run up. SOL, HYPE, hell..even BTC were trailing XMR and LINK [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing\_the\_recent\_run\_leaders\_vs\_followers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1vuvs2c/analyzing_the_recent_run_leaders_vs_followers/)
This is not all or nothing. You can buy some ETH without completely draining your BTC. The right % ratio depends on your risk tolerance. BTC is "safer" (if such a thing exists in this space). ETH has more upside AND downside potential. Crypto can survive without ETH, I'm not sure it can survive without BTC.
Currently at 80/20 ratio ETH/BTC but slowly moving to 60/40. ETH - undisputed blockchain rail BTC - currency of the future
Nobody is investing in crypto, we're all gambling money away, some of us win and most lose. The tech is pretty much useless, we had 17 years of BTC and there's still no real purpose to it because it doesn't solve anything. The sooner you distance yourself from the idea that "retail and institutions" are "investing", the better choices you'll make. Spend what you can, if you're lucky you'll break even.
If the coin doesn't pump in the previous bull market you gotta cut your losses. General rule, any coin worth anything will pump when BTC is pumping
Nooo, did that once . My most costly crypto mistake. ETH might outperform BTC in a bull run but it falls back to hard
Post is by: Civil-Mine-4168 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vwfbcj/the_btc_breakout_was_a_treasury_liquidity_event/ Quick reconstruction of the week, because the sequencing matters more than the price action: Aug 18 — SEC proposes "Regulation Crypto Assets," easing disclosure requirements for certain offerings. Aug 19 — Treasury announces long-dated bond buybacks at least double in size, $2B to $4B+ per operation. Yields drop. Aug 20 — BTC breaks the six-week range, tops $71K. Roughly $3B of shorts liquidated in 24h, largest since 2021. Spot BTC ETFs take $606M. Aug 21-22 — BTC settles around $77.3K, +22.7% on the week. ETH \~$2,360. XRP +39%. Fear and Greed 72. Two of the three catalysts are policy, and policy can be withdrawn. The buyback expansion is the load-bearing one — it's a real change in dollar liquidity, and it's why this looked more like a macro risk-asset repricing than a crypto narrative pump. The part I think is being misread: everyone is calling a top off the Greed reading. But perp funding is only running about +4.7% annualised on the month, and the trailing week cooled to +3.8% — roughly half the long-run +8.4% average. After a +22% week you'd expect funding to be screaming. It isn't. That implies this leg was driven by spot and ETF flow rather than leveraged longs piling in. Which is a genuinely different risk profile than a squeeze top: fewer forced sellers stacked up on the way down, but also much less short fuel left on the way up. The 24h liquidation tape has already flipped two-sided (\~$858M longs vs \~$816M shorts), so the easy direction is gone. What I'm watching rather than predicting: \- Whether ETF inflows keep printing $200M+ days now the squeeze fuel is spent \- Whether funding actually normalises upward, which is when the crowded-long argument becomes real \- Dominance. Alt gains so far look like beta off a BTC breakout, not rotation — the tell would be dominance breaking down while BTC goes sideways. Curious what the bear case is beyond "it went up too fast." Anyone still short, what's the thesis? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

what's stopping BTC from getting sunk by a handful of whales selling?
And he bought $300M BTC weeks before the pump. He knows something duhh. This guy doesn’t buy shit that he knows is gonna go down. He knew the floor was in or close and had the power to move it up. Not coincidence at all that the perfect storm happened - Bessent announcement, Crypto Bro summit, SEC regulation news, and even short squeeze and within a day or two. All orchestrated. These people know what they’re doing. No coincidences here. You can follow them or follow all the tards on Reddit.
I don't own any BTC. I want to own BTC. I would love to own BTC. However, I have two major issues that I have to see some kind of plan put in place, that is actually being implemented, and not just talked about. (1) How will the quantum proofing issues be resolved in regards to "stagnant coins", i.e. Satoshi as an example. This isn't a technical issue it is a philosophical/political issue. (2) How will the BTC community address the fact that BTC mining gets harder to justify economically every cycle? I think PoW is great for "gold 2.0", but you still need people to mine BTC to maintain the security. Again I think this is primarily a philosophical issue that the BTC community has to agree on. I don't think (1) and (2) are technical issues. The problem is getting the BTC community to agree on a solution.
Diversification is key. BTC and ETH. Win win.
There's the "the lottery" end and the "the industrial" end. Without tens (hundreds?) of millions of $, we can't be in "the industrial" end. But we can play "the lottery". Buy two Bitaxe 602's. (So you have 2 trillion lottery tickets per second... that will never hit.) Point them to [stratum.ckpool.org](http://stratum.ckpool.org) (and on to your BTC address) and "play the lottery". Invest the rest directly in purchased BTC. (Whether you leave that in an exchange like Coinbase, or move it to a hardware wallet... is a decision that requires further study.) Best of both worlds.
Der 1. Fehler ist bereits passiert: "Invest in yourself" und weiß bescheid, in was du investiert. Der 2. Fehler kann vermieden werden: Panic selling. Wenn es kein Betrag ist, von dem dein Leben abhängt, dann nutze die Zeit um dich in BTC einzulesen und zu verstehen, dass das keine get rich quick scheme ist. Nutz die nächsten Wochen und Monate, um zu verstehen worum es geht und dass man mindestens 4-5 Jahre mit dem investierten Geld drinnen bleiben sollte.
No, I said "arguably worthless and constantly inflating". Goalposts remain. XMR is what's up. But you didn't answer my question about prices doubling. What did you mean about pricing digital serial numbers? perhaps you were referring to the traceability of BTC? Then I concur
Honestly, I suck at market timing. Every Friday morning I have an fixed auto purchase of BTC. Lowest price is bout 45 and highest price, well you know. When I notice the stack getting a little heavy, move to cold storage. I did this with equities for 30 years and retired at 58. DCA does work best when you ignore it!
For mining to be profitable you need 2 and a half things 1. Cheap electricity - ok 2. You need economics of scale. Think maybe like 400k vs 40k of miners to start 3. You need the knowledge to understand how to set up this many miners, which is a lot more complicated that "just plug them in". Even after doing all of this, you probably wouldnt be more profitable than just holding BTC
Hahaha I paid off my house with BTC in 2025, right on the cycle schedule. I'm so confident about the 2029 ATH that I'm building a new house right now.
Nope. BTC mining is not profitable at electricity costs over 6 cents per kwh, which I assume, you dont have. Not to mention thousands in mining equipment that goes obsolete in few years.
BTC is probably just going to crab around \~$70k the next couple of months. 
Swapped my BTC for ETH on several occasions @ about 0.025, no regrets at all. And I think 0.03 is a good entry point, but of course there are no guarantees either way.
Nonononono. First, you always should keep most of your portfolio in BTC. Second, ETH is not a shitcoin, yes? But if you actually would look at the graph, It´s not clear that it wins any relevance against BTC, in fact, the opposite seems to be true. Also you have to consider the intrinsic risks, you´re depending on the Ethereum fundation and the big big stakers. I mean, all of they want the price to go up, and if you move around DeFi you may find ETH a lot more comfortable, but if it is not the case, is an unncesary move like... what are you trying to achieve doing so exactly?
As a humble beginner I would recommend you keep your BTC. If you want to buy some additional Eth with cash go for it.
My conflict will be paying off debt at 0% interest at the minimum amount, living razor thin with my expenses, and accumulating gas much BTC as possible for (x) years.
I mean ones a more mature asset and been around longer, I'd argue the fact everybody is so sure btc is the better long term move is a bit short sided. I own both, I DCA to both, I'd be about equally confident buying both currently at these prices I look at them like large/small cap ETFs. People can downvote me but I'll buy ETH all day below or around 2k and I'll continue slowly DCAing into BTC.
Of course, it's common sense. Security budget of BTC, look it up. Document yourself, DYOR
Yeah I also think the same. It depends how much is the leverage. If it's too much like 10x or 15x small moves in BTC can liquidate you easily and quickly
Very weird, wanting to sell BTC and park it in ETH lol Usually it's the other way around
[https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/?timeframe=ALL) That tells you all you need to know. Short term of course it can outperform, just like any other altcoin. Long term it is bleeding out against BTC.
my guess would be that sense BTC went up it could potentially go down
I was all in on ETH and a few years ago I moved 30% to BTC. It is now worth more than my ETH. I’d diversify at best if trading any BTC for ETH.
You cannot borrow conviction. Make your own research, convince yourself that the move you are doing is right. I will make you endure downturns and you won't be asking yourself why you even bought in the first place. I did that for both BTC and ETH, and I held since 2017. Don't listen to people online. I sold my 100 000 LINK for like 10K $ long time ago cause someone on this sub said that they saw the founder on Bahamas and was told the project won't be continued which was obviously a lie. I lacked conviction, don't make the same mistake.
Well some Analysts are warning that institutions (BlackRock, ETFs) now control the flow, which has dwarfed the impact of the halving's supply shock. Because daily ETF inflows ($100M - $1B) can now overwhelm the $35M - $40M in new BTC mined daily, this "500-day pattern" may be less precise this time.
Keep your BTC ,never swap for ETH !!!
eth has deeply underperformed compared to BTC, I would not recommend buying more eth over btc.
$77,000 BTC. It's a beautiful thing
Personally my ETH position outweighs my BTC and I am very much considering making the opposite move right now. On the 3 year long term (my personal horizon where I plan to use some crypto to fund some personal expenses) I think BTC will out perform ETH. All speculation ofc and do plan on keeping eggs in both baskets.
In 2022 I was able to swap 4 ETH for 0.25 BTC. Probably the best trade I ever made.
BTC is king with the most liquidity by far, you don’t even need other charts. Once the king moves, everything moves. Very simplified, but thats how it goes in general.
There has yet to be a single event in the last 3 years where ETH ended up being the better long term move than BTC
It’s also not from any change in the probability of BTC actually being used for anything and deriving real value from that use. It’s just pure meaningless speculation.
He had to pay dividends. Sell BTC, dilute MSTR. Whatever pays the other Ponzi lol. Mfer is losing money on BTC, buys the top every time, sells the cycle bottom. Repeat. Dilute
Ask him: 1) what is average the real inflation metric?(probably the cpi metric) 2) what is he using to preserve his wealth? (Probably real estate) 3) what is the difference between BTC and crypto ? (Probably none) 4) how dies the fiat standard work? The majority of the population are clueless about how money works.
\[Developer\] Hi, I'm the developer of CryptoCharts Bitcoin Widget it does exactly what you're describing. You pick your currency pair (BTC/USD, BTC/EUR, or hundreds of others), the widget updates automatically, and you can choose the chart timeframe (from 1min candles up to 1 week) plus how far back to zoom (1H up to 1 year of history). No need to open the app once it's set up and it refreshes on its own. There's also a compact style if you just want price + a small chart, or an extended one if you want the full chart visible on the home screen. Here is the app: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.coconutdev.cryptochartswidget&hl=fr](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.coconutdev.cryptochartswidget&hl=fr)
Food loses value over time BTC gains value over time Perhaps you can get him to post in Buttcoin?
Pretty sure i hold more BTC than your 17 year old ass.
Im not sidelined but i fckin hate Clowns like you. If BTC dies its Fine, the assetclass is total trash, im 100% Fine losing that money
Nope. 50k Next. Tech bubble explodes. BTC 25k. Conviction in BTC and cycles die. Haha.
Slightly below 60k wouldnt be a total shocker, reaching 40k on the other hand is almost impossible if BTC is really legit. I say almost impossible because if Ai bubble were to pop then I can imagine everything else to be dragged down as well, but BTC specifically falling on it's to 40k? Sweet dreams buddy.
Yeah I understand that leverage and liquidations will kick in which is fine but across all coins at exactly the same time? And this is a massive spot sell off to cause the drop, the BTC chart is an example but take your pick of any coin and you'll see exactly the same thing!!!
saber cuando comprar y vender, mientras pumpean artificialmente para cuando liquiden a póstumo. Lamentablemente el mercado del dinero fiat-btc adoptó un patrón de que los que tienen el monopolio del dinero fiat jueguen con BTC, juegen con tu tiempo y estrategias de planificación para hacerlo con el tiempo de los mercados, ahora son tiempos artificiales y acá la cosa se pone mas complicada si no eres astuto.
Why didn't go in when BTC was at 59k or at 60k or when BTC wasn't moving at all? Did you flinch? Now you wanna go in when everything is green. 🥴
Old skool. We used to say this because exchanges were pretty much unregulated and many times situated in suspicious places... like the virgin islands, cayman islands or Malta. And then suddenly you couldn't withdraw your coins. Because they got "hacked". And nobody in the real world could help you. No SEC, No FDIC, no FINRA, no Fed. Nobody would check the exchanges. In the wild wild west of Bitcoin, you were always on your own. So you bought your Bitcoin and you quickly as fck withdrew it to your wallet. Nowadays, I dont know... for most people its probably best to let Coinbase custody their BTC. Self custody is not for everyone.
I’d be willing to bet you 6 or 7 figures publicly that BTC goes under 60k again this year. We can find escrow for this. Let me know if you want to accept. I think it would be a fun bet for Bitcoin Redditors and cryptocurrency Redditors to follow.
Blackrock don’t own any BTC. They can’t sell their clients assets
One never completely exits BTC. One sells during peaks, redeploys the proceeds into the index markets, then rebuys during bear markets.
Not only is 2500 a nice round and psychological number, ETH's 200 week also rests right below it, not that the 200 week is as useful for ETH as it is for BTC. 2500 could be a formidable opponent. Light the beacons.
Yeah, and BTCFi adds another layer to that. Beyond holding or transferring BTC, there are new ways being developed to make the asset more productive.
Payments aren’t the only use case anymore. BTCFi is opening up more ways to use BTC, and TBVs are one example being developed to put it to work.
Maybe as a currency, but that doesn’t mean BTC has to stop there. BTCFi is already exploring other ways to make the underlying asset useful..
I have a widget on my home screen that shows current price but I don't *stare* at it. It goes up, it goes down. But I'm looking at a 10 -20 year horizon for BTC not 10-20 seconds.
Post is by: move-size123 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vw8031/xrp_moved_473_in_7_days_more_than_double_the/ The dominant narrative in the crypto press this week is that a broad recovery is underway, driven by regulatory momentum around the CLARITY Act and a fear-and-greed index climbing out of its 29 thirty-day average. The 90-day data supports the price recovery but not the 'broad' part. BTC's 90-day volume hit 71.4 billion on 22 August, 2.66 times the window median The altcoin picture contradicts the bullish framing most directly in the ATH gap data. The average top-10 coin sits 75.8% below its record, and the bottom five of the ranking average 92.9% below theirs. XRP is the one genuine exception with a 47.3% 7-day move that is more than twice the group median, but even XRP is not close to recovering its all-time high. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Add market makers hedging their books in BTC and cross-margined liquidation cascades hitting every pair at once, and simultaneous drops are the default, not the anomaly.👍
Well, I just don’t care anymore. I know what BTC is for me and daily, weekly, monthly, annually doesn’t matter. Just stack and when my exit time comes up then I’ll look at it.
Because people with 147 BTC leave their seed phrase in their car obviously.
Correlated drops don’t require one institution selling everything. Shared collateral, automated basket trading and liquidations can turn one BTC move into a market-wide cascade within seconds.
When I want to sound like a big shot, I thinks about 12BTC x ATH and say I dropped a million pounds on a miner 😂
I was mining in 2014… my ASIC rig cost me 12 BTC which cost me 400GBP each 😂… I mined 8.72 in a pool before I retired it. I should have just kept the 12.
