BTC

foxyevolution

Well the entry isn't $35k anymore due to the market conditions. Problem with mining is if the token pumps, so do miner prices. I rotated all my BTC devices out to Z15 units that mine ZEC.

Icy-Musician213

BTC to hit 1B

Bilatsibagya

I got liquidated ima try again now BTC exhausted

Supaflyray

Explain bags, because unless you got millions worth of BTC. Anyone would buy your “bags” lol. Even having 1 BTC isn’t having a bag lol. You have no need to worry about liquidating any BTC my friend. Or anyone in this subreddit

foxyevolution

Basically crypto miners are the backbone devices for for proof of work chains like BTC and ZEC. You essentially purchase a device, send it to a hosting location if you can't run it yourself (most can't), pay the monthly power cost, and get paid daily. It does take some upfront capital to get involved, but once you ROI you are golden. Especially if you constantly rotate your units from more profitable ones. I threw about $35k into a handful of units and easily earn $80-90k/yr. Does it depend on the value of the coin, yes. I believe in the coins I choose to mine. Especially when they 5x because I held my earnings.

Powerful-Chemist888

He can still be right. BTC hasnt done anything that great

Javeroth

He's not even wrong. He was clear that it was odds based, based on the previous cycles, to be open to counter arguments, to DCA into BTC in the second half of the year. I think he's being nice and appeasing to the angry people. I followed him as well, i was also too late, I don't blame him for it at all.

Ok_Golf_6467

Probably 50% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% SOL if you're actually about to drop 250k on crypto

Pleasant_Maybe_5523

Average cost matters way less if you’re holding long term. Curious though, what price did everyone first get into BTC at?

BigNoseParody

Fair question and I hope people will not bomb me with dislikes because Im against BTC atm. I was on the verge of closing my short because of tech analysis, but then I zoomed out and saw we are still in a geopolitical storm, with now gold also falling. There is also the fact we are very close to next tech analysis that goes in my favor so I decided to stick around. So far I lost about 5%, not much as you can see. Tomorrow will be very decisive for me because all gulf leaders will be in NY.

badasimo

This is more a prediction about USD than it is about BTC

Porcellanidae

10 BTC is a billion satoshi already

Fun-Analysis-182

Yeah, exactly. Bitcoin's base layer never had a bad block. The exploit was entirely in Liquid's own federated software, which got tricked into releasing the real BTC it was custodying.

grabbeschpros

Historically, September has often been one of the weaker months for both U.S. equities and Bitcoin. Personally, I’m not convinced BTC can hold above $80K throughout September. If the historical seasonality repeats, we could see some additional downside before the market finds stronger support.

nature_nate_17

BTC for my crypto (any left over change from my reoccurring, I just dump into HBAR or XRP since they're super cheap) and BTCI for my monthly dividends

WinSubstantial2461

That was the first time I was shaken out. I was risking money I couldn’t afford the risk. Also had a terribly poor understanding of what BTC is at the time

K42st

History shows BTC always punishes those who predict price, always!

fatideuwu

Maybe yeah, maybe not, maybe it isnt BTC pumping but USD dumping...

2013 gang here. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. Your numbness and lack of emotion is a superpower. Use it.

Public-Lingonberry-2

I need 400k BTC to retire

blaziken8x

Yep, if you're not too greedy, you profit. Last couple of times BTC went up in price fast, I just sold like 2 weeks into it.

-ROADRUNN3R-

Nah… maybe unpopular comment but I think when BTC hits 116K a huge altseason kicks in. Some kind of supercycle thing

blaziken8x

Personally, I only have like 30-40% of my money in crypto rest is in ETFs and in individual stocks. BTC is always a good pick, the one reason why people like to buy alts, for example, is BTC will probably 2x in value in a few years, but maybe ETH or stellar lumens or doge or some other popular altcoin might 3x at the same timeline.

tenor_tymir

A significant pullback is always possible, but I doubt it will amount to a 50% drop from recent highs, that would simply be too drastic. A retreat to the $70k range is certainly possible, but who knows: the price might just consolidate a bit and then rise again. However, I consider it highly unlikely that BTC will close in the green for 2 or even 3 consecutive months. I expect to see lower prices again, though I would definitely rule out the $40k mark.

olduvai_man

BTC made a higher-high and rallied off the 50wk. No guarantees but its nice to at least receive some hopium signs that the worst of the pain might be over and there's money to be made for bulls in the next few years.

Logical_driver_42

Bitcoin CEO announced he is buying 10,000 shares and the board approved a new helicopter everyone with over .5 BTC is allowed to use. Good times indeed for the company.

Chelseafan88

Only BTC and one BNB shitcoin, Hungarian Vizsla Inu (which I'm expecting to pump hard in October)

_This_Is_Ridiculous

OP probably is holding $100 in BTC hoping to be rich.

tta82

And this “analysis” is based on no actual data right? What would be the market cap of BTC then?

jashanjeet

BTC goes up and suddenly everyone is back with their crazy prediction. Dont piss your pants when it corrects 5% next week

Kommandant_Milkshake

Can you explain how QQQ would expose you to BTC? Genuine question

Status-Tea-1478

BTC to ≈45k now

nature_nate_17

You're beginning to see the shift. Once the vast population realize what BTC represents, everyone is going to make a mad dash to garner any BTC; we're seeing the modern day gold rush before it happens.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Sorry buddy. BTC has a higher chance of close green this year in an alleged bear year. It closed red in a bull year. Reach previous ath before halving. There were already signs it had changed but egos and influencer glazing prevented common sense from prevailing. 

Mountain-Ice-7441

“BTC going drop to 50k” Me: 😂

jashanjeet

Enough BTC isn’t measured in coins. It’s measured by whether your allocation can meaningfully change your future without being able to destroy your present and whatever amount you can hold through a 50–70% drawdown without panic-selling

Topspeed_PT

If you have followed many cycles like I did you would know that BTC can surprise you at any time to any direction.

OtherwiseNeat9617

Yes they wiped out the lines first then used the manipulation as fuel.. all leverage traders are left on the sidelines waiting for 40k. Whilst the whales keep the BTC. These people never learn

zork2001

BTC does not play by anyone rules, it can stay between 75k to 83k for 3 months straight and then in one day be 100k.

Broad-based green across the board with some serious outperformance from the alts. Here’s the snapshot from the major pairs (USDT): | Pair | Last Price | 24h Change | |------|------------|------------| | **BTC** | $85,989.52 | **+6.67%** | | **ETH** | $2,741.43 | **+6.20%** | | **SOL** | $118.56 | **+9.46%** | | **ZEC** | $1,530.95 | **+6.34%** | | **XRP** | $1.5014 | **+8.78%** | | **NEAR** | $4.111 | **+10.66%** | | **SUI** | $1.0458 | **+26.86%** | | **BNB** | $797.31 | **+5.78%** | # What’s driving the move today \- Bitcoin finally punched back above the psychological $85k level with solid volume (2.17B on the pair). After the choppy action we’ve seen recently, this feels like real buying pressure rather than just a short squeeze. \- Ethereum is keeping pace but lagging BTC slightly on percentage terms — classic mid-cycle behavior. \- The real fireworks are in the mid-caps and ecosystem plays. **SUI** is absolutely ripping (+26.86%), **NEAR** is up double digits, and **SOL** continues its strong relative performance. These aren’t random pumps — they’re the names that have been accumulating quietly for weeks. \- Even privacy plays like ZEC and the more traditional large-caps (XRP, BNB) are participating. Breadth is healthy. This looks like a classic “everything is green” session rather than a narrow BTC-only move. When you see SUI, NEAR, and SOL leading while BTC is also strong, it usually means risk appetite is returning. # Short-term technical read \- BTC reclaiming $85k with a strong daily candle is constructive. Next real resistance sits in the $88k–$90k zone. Support now flips to the previous breakdown area around $82–83k. \- SOL holding above $115–118 is key. A clean daily close above $120 would open the door for a run toward previous local highs. \- SUI’s move is extended on the daily, so some pullback/consolidation wouldn’t be surprising, but the strength of the trend is hard to ignore. # Medium-term outlook (next few weeks to months) I’m leaning bullish for the remainder of Q3 into Q4 2026 for a few reasons: 1. **Macro tailwinds** – Risk assets have been finding buyers on dips, and crypto is starting to catch a bid again. 2. **Relative strength in alts** – When SOL, SUI, and NEAR are leading, it usually means capital is rotating into higher-beta names rather than just parking in BTC. 3. **Structure** – Many of these charts have been compressing or building higher lows. A strong weekly close this week would confirm the shift from range-bound to trending. **Bull case**: BTC grinds toward $90k–$95k over the next 4–6 weeks while SOL and SUI continue to outperform. Altseason metrics start flashing properly. **Base case**: Continued chop with higher lows. BTC holds the $80–85k zone and we get rotational strength rather than a straight parabolic move. **Bear case** (lower probability right now): Failure to hold $82–83k on BTC and a sharp rotation back into stablecoins. Would need a clear catalyst. # Personal take Today feels like one of those sessions where the market is telling you the sellers are getting exhausted. The fact that even the more “forgotten” names (ZEC, NEAR) are participating is a healthy sign. I’m not chasing the SUI candle here, but I’m watching for pullbacks to add to higher-conviction names. Curious what everyone else is seeing. Are you treating this as a relief bounce or the start of something more sustained? Stay safe out there and manage risk. # #Crypto #Bitcoin #BTC #Ethereum #ETH #Solana #SOL #SUI #NEAR #XRP #BNB #CryptoMarket #Altcoins #Bullish *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

BTC may hit the low $86K but it will immediately start to desecend. I could see BTC at $74K or lower by Friday.

I did, bought .75 BTC at 64k

I think BTC will break $86k 6 days from when this post came out

MightyFija

BTC on steroid, send it higher

george_alto

Are you invested for the long run? This is just part of investing and yes crypto is a lot more volatile than stocks but there is equivalent volatility in stocks but not to these extremes. A few things to consider. First, if you're long term investor, then accept you will experience this especially BTC and crypto in general. But you have to be on top of your investments because if things are going to change drastically and maybe permanently, you want to get out. Tough with crypto and BTC because what are really the fundamentals. In stocks, you see if the fundamentals are changing and make decisions based on that. Tough with crypto - at least today it is; BTC is about supply and demand and that's it. Second, are you familiar with the four year cycle that occurs with BTC and crypto? Look into it because it might help you better understand what is most likely happening. It's related to the bitcoin halving. It has occurred 4 times already and I believe we're in the middle of it happening for the 5th time. Think about it, if it's happened 4 cycles already, that means that in the prior 16 years there has been a repeatable cycle that has occurred 4 times. That's a long time especially if we're in the middle the 5th one! Lastly and related to the two above. Have you been learning and adjusting your investments? That is the best way to make money. For example, I have believed and still believe in the 4 year cycle but in the past I just enjoy the ride up and reaching new highs each time. For example, prior to the last cycle, the high for BTC was 68K and then the 4th cycle kicked in and the all time high reached $126K. My mistake is that I watched the high occur and just hoped that it would continue going higher. But realistically, one never knows when the real high is reached until afterwards. But what I will do this time is watch and when the new high occurs, anywhere around $160K - $180K, and when in that range, I'm going to sell - period. Lock in gains and be happy when I see it drop down again below $100K (maybe to $70K or more) and then buy again at those levels. That's part of the cycle! So my lesson learned is sell when the new highs are reached in this 5th cycle. Enjoy the profits and watch the next cycle kick in where it will significantly drop again and buy at a much lower price.

fatsopiggy

Not sure but I remember he was making money in 2018-2019 when everyone was yolo bull. He also rotated lots of ETH into BTC in 2018 and then again in 2022 and traded back.

Ltsmba

I DCA'd $100 a week all the way down to around $65k. I eventually had to take my foot off the throttle for a little bit and changed to a $20 DCA each week a few months ago, because I decided to lump sum 9-10k when BTC hit the $67k mark. I didnt perfectly time the bottom, but my cost basis is right around $70k average so i'm up over 20% in 10 months now. Not a short term holder though, i'll be holding these buys and all my past buys since Feb 2021 until at LEAST 2035. BTC is my salvation.

AggressiveGas4637

I don’t watch any crypto stuff at all and dabbled in Alts last cycle but Q4 2025 BTC peak and 2026 bear was the most obvious stuff ever 

Oamlhplor

you need to keep a cool head all the time with any investment. BTC even more. it is so volatile. you know 5% in a day is unsustainable. you know it will not be every week like that and you know some will be so red you will feel pressure to sell. so yeah... temper your expectations is sound advice

AccomplishedDig4284

1 BTC at 27K .5 BTC at 125K ( I thought it was taking off last July) .5 BTC at 68K

ObviousBunnyCat

Maybe so, but it felt like the whole year BTC would drop sharply and remains stable for a few weeks before going up again. Ill keep an eye open for that. It feels like atound 65 ish was the all year average.

ArticMine

Long term holder of Monero (XMR) since 2014. My average cost in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) is less than half what what XMR/BTC is trading today. So yes my Monero holding have out performed holding Bitcoin over the same period of time. I remain very bullish long term on Monero. I see the long term fundamentals as very strong. It is not just privacy and fungibility, but also security (there is no security deficit in Monero since Monero has a fixed block reward of 0.6 XMR per block which is like stopping the halving of Bitcoin at the current 3.125 BTC per block for ever), scaling (Monero has an adaptive blocksize so it can scale to meet transaction demand) and anti spam (Monero has a cost to increase the blocksize, making large spam attacks cost prohibitive)

dylan6091

When BTC rises, I'm caught between excitement and regret that I didn't buy more when it was cheaper. When it falls I'm caught between excitement for the great buying opportunity and regret that I timed my last buy poorly. Eventually, I want massive gains, but I need more time to invest 😖

Abject-Stretch-1187

Tbh don’t even expect a 50% drop in the next bear as it’ll be front ran just like this bear market. 40% drop or less and before we know it we’re making another new high in same time frame. BTC will soon start trading like a high beta S&P.

ilovesaintpaul

Bitcoin is the honey badger of financial assets. It don't care. BTC don't give a shit.

anon1971wtf

fiat - XMR hops / BCH CashFusion - BTC long-term - XMR hops / BCH CashFusion - fiat. Plenty of places to exchange crypto to crypto without providing anything or just with a temporary email

pommesUNDwurst

Imo the actual confirmation that the market turned came today. Up until now we haven't broken the downtrend. Making lower lows a high probability. And I was fine with the gamble, since I already bought back nearly as many BTC as I ever had.

zeroboundss

For me BTC $250k, ETH $15k

UrbanGrower187

lol no one actually cared about clarity act. BTC will be always hitting new ATH consistently throughout history as the purchasing power of the fiat dollar in any country continues to erode.

DontLook_Weirdo

Besides friendly rivalry, I genuinely don't understand why people dislike the bottomers... Lol didnt we want affordable BTC? Plus they were off by like 15k (I kept hearing 50k was going to be the bottom).

East-County5940

I think the boring everyday stuff might end up being the most important. It does not have to start with huge purchases. If people can use BTC for normal things they already pay for, that's when it starts feeling more practical. Business expenses are an interesting area because companies already make payments every day. I recently came across USPostage. io, which is exploring using crypto for shipping labels. It's simple use case, but those small examples are what could make Bitcoin more useful over time.

AdrianRamirez0

Walking into the office today and putting in my 2-week notice, only to realize I still need $100k BTC to actually quit.

quintavious_danilo

Be ready to apologize first thing in the morning when BTC is still below 100k. I’ll be waiting.

SecretCatalyst

Agree. Great analyst, probably the best. Refreshing to see some humility and also a bullish tweet for crypto & BTC in general.  A sentiment changer for sure, he has millions of followers. 

d1rtball

I started buying BTC for the first time ever back in February of this year when it hit $63-64k. I put in a big chunk of funds in all at once and have been buying a little bit here and there since.

Mwayi-Gnoma

Not sure what kind of value people find on X and people posting price predictions. Ever since I completely deleted the app and embraced DCA religiously I feel better than ever in relation to my BTC investments. It doesn't matter if it goes up or down in the next month/year/decade if you understand the value behind your investment. The goal is to accumulate, and not wait for numbers to go up as soon as you bought.

quintavious_danilo

That’s the thing though, usually it doesn’t go up this quickly. I was surprised myself and I’m dealing crypto for a few years now. Usually we’d still have 6-8 months of sideways crabbing until a decent rise up, and I’m still not fully convinced that we’re going up much higher this early. We’ll see though, BTC is always good for a surprise, positive as well as negative.

RandomJoe7

IMO it's gonna start bleeding out more and more. Yes, during bull run it will go up again (but like last cycle, not as much as others or how it used to). It's just going to bleed a lot slower than the typical "alt/memecoins" because of how established ETH was/is, but I don't see it over-proportionally booming again. BTC is the main dog, and every cycle will have new random hype alts that come and fade away.

Abgg_Reviss

Clarity is just one piece of the puzzle. Even though US legislation can impact BTC heavily at times, we must not forget that BTC is a global asset.

quintavious_danilo

Not sure what you’re smoking but it isn’t doing you any good, buddy. BTC will never reach 100k at the end of this day. 🤡

Aerocryptic

For now yes but it's still an alt tho. Look how it has lost some market share from its competition in the past cycle. BTC doesn't have any competition cause it lives by its immaculate internet money aura. Ethereum will always have to compete with the other crypto

Capital_Situation961

I’m writing this book to show what happens when you lose your BTC—even when it is the result of a stupid mistake. No one, not even highly intelligent people like you, has any idea what I have been through—and the journey is far from over. Sometimes the journey is even more important than the destination.

CrowComfortable8817

Hypothetically Would u be able to hit sell button if BTC reaches below 60K ?

colemusic1

It’s both. Here’s what would happen if we had two scenarios: A) only shorts get squeezed: this would have BTC soar from $81k —> $85k, but likely immediately drop back down to < $82k as selling demand would overwhelm buyers B) shorts get squeezed, but there is buying demand underneath: exactly what we have just witnessed. BTC went from $81k —> $85.1k —> $84.8k —> $85.3k Current IBIT trading is enormous, so part of what drove this initial surge could very well have been the US stock market opening up during pre market hours and allowing them to buy IBIT. A lot of shorts make sense to have been at $83k, but the fact it didn’t immediately plummet back down to $81k after they did get squeezed means there’s significant buying demand still. And that’s crucial.

mrtrollmaster

I lump summed into BTC for the first time in my life at $60k. I’ve never understood the personal storage and security side well enough to jump in, but I bought in through an ETF in July cause I liked the $60 price point.

Sweaty-Dust6405

When BTC is crashing either they sold off in panic or said "I'll buy when it hits 40K$"/

WeakEstablishment686

Yea just keep averaging in. This was likely confirmation the cycle low is in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t revisit a different low. And BTC always loves to surprise so nothing is for certain. The important part is if it happens you have the conviction to buy. If not, we’re still 40% below the previous high, and if you have a long term outlook you’re likely getting BTC now at a price still below the next cycle low.

braamdepace

It’s being driven because every day an old person who was never gonna buy BTC dies and a younger person gets a job and realizes they are working for something where the supply is controlled by “man”.

quintavious_danilo

I have a golden rule: I always buy when the BTC price is around 50% of its previous ATH. So, yes, I bought in during the crash but I also held back some capital just in case; however, that scenario no longer seems likely. Therefore, I will now channel the money I set aside into my regular DCA strategy until it is all invested.

Revelati123

Nope, they sure didnt. Fudders have been losing for a decade and apparently will continue to do so. Nothing churns out rocket fuel like slaughtering shorts, and that usually how BTC gets off the launchpad every time.

Only_Associate6384

Just buy and hold you are not timing btc to 40k nor btc to 150k. BTC is highly speculative if we get big recession it will go to 40 k, if we get AI slowdown but the economy stabilises it should climb slowly

12buklmashu

I’m waiting for 1 mil. I buy every payday regardless of the price. If a massive dip happens I sometimes make an exception for an extra BTC purchase.

CrowComfortable8817

When BTC is crashing people are busy in saying Told u So I still remember when i sold BTC at average of 85000 how people around me make me feel like a looser because BTC achiever ATH of 128000.

Academic_Dust2467

BTC CEO gave a passionate speech about defeating the shorts and Satoshi’s inspiring life of virtue and austerity. “Price now go up” he say.

Viejo_comegatos

BTC

Academic_Dust2467

Reason 1: BTC is primarily a monetary hedge. Even though the Fed raised rates, they did so in a position of weakness, where the treasury is already strained by paying the massive interest on a 40 trillion dollar debt problem. The debt problem is bigger than the interest rate problem. The only real solution to a massive sovereign debt problem is to inflate the debt away. This is why the bond market is demanding higher yields to lend to governments, and why investors are looking for a hedge against inflation. Reason 2: According to the 4-year cycle/halving theory, BTC was supposed to bottom in October and a lot of people were waiting for a $40k-$50k bottom in October to buy. They got short-squeezed, front run, and left out. As October inches closer, and the price goes in the opposite direction of what they were expecting, those buyers are realizing they may have been front run and are catching up to the price.

GodBlessPigs

I think it would be foolish to not own BTC AND ETH

TheRadishBros

Clarity Act never had anything to do with BTC

meccaleccahimeccahi

I’ve been in BTC for a long time and can confidently tell you that it will either go up or down.

Savvy-TradingGirl-1

BTC exploded 🤯. Enjoy 🥂!!!

Topspeed_PT

Usually it goes that way. Bad news: BTC up, good news: BTC down. So market manipulators clear all long and shorts positions from time to time.

Savvy-TradingGirl-1

How beautifully BTC exploded today!!!🤯 Crazy!!!

mrtrollmaster

I actually did. I’ve followed BTC for awhile but figured I missed that train. But then I saw it sitting at 60k this summer and decided I really liked the idea of getting in at close to 50% of its 52 week high.

Romanizer

None. You want to be purely in BTC for the next three years.

PsiComa

That's me trying to purchase BTC, but it keeps climbing.

final_lionel

I'm tired of altcoins after years accumulating. I think ETH and SOL can outperform BTC if you want to try. XMR too but it's delisted from most CEX now. I have a big bag of LTC. I don't know what to think about LTC. For me it's undervalued

Schwoanz

They let companies (also TradFi) create customizable lending markets. Kraken uses them for their BTC Vault and Coinbase, Robinhood, Société Générale and others also use them.
