You're right, the bull run is either about to start or we're already very close to it. That's exactly why I ran a backtest on BTC. If you want to take a look, tradingdatalab.com
All we need would be interest rates to nearly zero, massive fiat debasement, massive QE money printing, and unprecedented M2 money supply surge, a real flight to hard assets by all forms of asset buys, institutions, retail and other to try to preserve capital, multiple G20 nations moving to implement nation state bitcoin reserves, trillions (not billions) of institutional capital putting 5-10% of their corporate cash reserves into BTC, pension funds too…and a severe BTC liquidity crunch. So..a non-zero Chance for sure.
This is the next step for me but I feel like I should wait and instead use the money to invest in stacking until BTC goes up up and away again.
BTC Market cap is roughly $3T, if at 240k market cap would be 9T. That’s barely noticeable compared to total assets
DCA. Never take debt to buy BTC.
sell? i’m buying as much as possible!!! Desperately trying to reach my desired BTC amount before 100k then i’ll let it coast for a few decades
They should encourage paying taxes with BTC and shore up entitlement programs
Something something money laundering….with tax free conversion then money laundering gets worse…and it’s already bad…also holders are gonna HODL till the price is life changing generational wealth…or until BTC is the main trading medium
It would be even better if BTC were treated like any other currency instead of a commodity.
To double your money you need BTC to got to $172K Is it worth the risk to the downside?
That's my BDay... yay cheap BTC for me!
Thanks for the question. The BTC that Saylor buys doesn’t directly influence the price; the price is manipulated and driven by funds through ETFs and settlements, such as on October 10, 2025. MSTR has announced purchases at levels that aren’t optimal, but they’re doing so as if they didn’t have the premium data needed to get good prices. MSTR and ASST move in tandem with BTC, but these stocks hit their peak before BTC reaches its ATH. BTC is the crypto bait, and many people will continue to buy just to see it rise again.
Use strike. Also, movement right now don't matter because what you want to do is HODL. set a dca and forget about it. Worry about cold wallets when you reach about 0.2 BTC.
Sell all your BTC and let’s see.
Lease ends this summer? Summer’s over, it’s October already. You went all in on BTC in 2021? BTC was worth more spring of 2021 than it was worth a few months ago. If you’re comfortable taking the trip, just do it. But don’t mention Bitcoin or being worth millions down in Central America. I’ve traveled most of the countries down there and haven’t had any problems but you have to make sure you aren’t doing dumb shit that will get you in trouble.
Highly recommend travelling! Worst case you sell off a little bit of BTC over the months. Have you determined how long you’d like to go? Also idk how much Spanish you know but I got much better doing DreamingSpanish. My finance (Peruvian) family is impressed. Just an idea instead of just going straight into Latin/South America and assuming you’ll learn a lot. I assume you take some time maybe a few months for prep, itinerary planning etc. Also iTalki is cool! You can search for teachers prices vary, countries, type (teacher or community teacher aka like me and you just chatting about stuff) Sorry I got very into the fact you want to do Spanish countries and learn Spanish lol
Buy MSTR—it offers better returns than BTC
It’s crystal clear to me the recipe to wealth is buy BTC, wait some years, and key life milestones are (disturbingly) less expensive. I saw a tik tok I can’t find where a lady did $1 a day for a year and was up 300% With investment in a BTC backed dividend-payer (like SATA that pays daily) a regular small contribution can begin to feel free since it doesn’t come from your paycheck (or just roll it into more).
You pay twice on this — the provider's BTC-to-fiat spread, plus the card's activation fee per load, so small loads cost a much bigger percentage.
I paid 1 BTC ( ~$3300) for a motorcycle way back. Now I refuse to sell it, and I joke it's my 1 Bitcoin bike.
Two: 1: bought my house in 2016, watched it double in dollars. basic, old, small starter house. Price in Bitcoin then? About 17.5BTC. Doubled in dollar value. Price in Bitcoin later? About 4.5BTC. Double in cash, DOWN almost 75% in BTC. 2. If every BTC was divided evenly between everyone in the world, it would be about 0.0024 BTC, about $204 today. Obviously, this division will never happen for a number of reasons. Every 240,000 sats I accumulate, I own someone’s potential entire lifetime worth of labor… not for cheap products to turn and burn, but for the most enduring form of money we have ever made.
Don't remind me. All those appliances I bought with BTC in 2015...
I work for a Bitcoin life insurance company, so I spend a lot of time talking to people with meaningful amounts of BTC about this exact problem. I don’t think the answer has to be “self custody everything” or “give everything to a Bitcoin bank.” Once the amount becomes life-changing, concentration itself becomes a risk. Keep some in self custody. Keep some with a qualified institutional custodian. And for BTC you genuinely intend to hold for decades or leave to your family, there are now structures where the BTC can sit inside a regulated life insurance policy, grow in BTC terms, be borrowed against in BTC, and ultimately pass as a BTC-denominated death benefit. That obviously requires giving up custody of that portion, so it isn’t for everyone. But I think the interesting question for large holders is less “self custody or not?” and more “what risks am I trying to eliminate, and how much BTC should I expose to each one?” Happy to explain how the insurance side works if anyone is curious. It’s a pretty new corner of Bitcoin.
I personally think this is the weak link to massBTC adoption - Istill do not have a proper plan and I am not sure what I will do. I feartheres an awefullot of BTC that is still going to the graves with people.
I started investing in early 2021. Well bellow average income in my country, but I was able to set aside something for BTC every month. 10% of my monthly salary usually, sometimes more, sometimes less. And I watched my portfolio stagnate for years. Then a year ago it went up so I had roughly 200% of what I invested. Then it all fell again and I was back where I began, no profit, just the money I put into it. Now it's starting to look good again, but whatever, I don't care, I have no intentions of taking the money out any time soon. And mind you, I'm still well bellow average income in my country, with medical issues that make it very hard for me to get a better job etc.
Yes, as everybody else is only bearish on BTC for next 6 days.
Yes buy now but dont go all in. Just DCA till you think you have enough. When BTC eventually hits $1mm these prices will seem cheap.
What November 9th??? the top was on 6th Oct 2025 so if we go by that then the bottom is in 3 days aka 5th Oct 2026.. BTC would need to drop 31% from here to form a new low for this Bear Market sub 58k... this is not happening in 3 days unless theres an insane black swan event out of nowhere...
i read the DNM bible in 2020 to learn how to buy some questionable college things, and the Bitcoin chapter had me questioning my world around me. instead of shutting up and stacking sats, i let the world around me convince me it was pointless and stupid to buy and hold bitcoin. people ridiculed me, called me names, insulted my intelligence. mind you BTC was goin for around $8000 per coin. look who’s laughin now! (definitely not me i fuckin sold them 6 million sats) nonetheless, atp i’ve learned a very valuable and expensive lesson; be humble and stack sats.
Would you guys DCA weekly, or considering BTC might be about to pump buy a more significant amount sooner then lighter DCAs later?
Same, I know this might be seen as foolish but I've been nervous about quantum computing tech because I've never really found a reliable debunking of how it could break SHA256 / the cryptographic element of the network. Also I've quite FUDded about how trustless banking may just not be adopted well enough to really make BTC a long term investment that actually makes good money or stores value. I've read the whitepaper so I get the tech and I love it, but I'm just a bit blackpilled. I wonder what other people's opinions are though.
If you’re purchasing BTC from an exchange, check and see what they insure it up to. Once you get the that level, you may want to get a cold wallet a move the BTC to that for protection. I purchase BTC weekly, and move to my cold wallet once a month. Slow n steady wins the race!!
BTC needs to go up $8500 for you to make $1 fwiw
Have my miners running full scrypt and converting to PEP. Any doubts have long gone. With great respect in the bigger communities for POW, showing up at the BTC and litecoin summits. While I understand that normal hurdles still exist, the leadership does listen to the community and continues to build our network by creating new opportunities. If your old school DOGE ‘14 - this is nostalgia calling.
I get paid in BTC and sell it P2P for cash. P2P is not just about buying and selling, it's about building a network of real life bitcoiners. It doesn't have legs everywhere, but vexl.it is great at this.
Not sure if this is a serious post because if you are educated enough on BTC you wouldn’t even ask this question.
1. BTC is not a company OR a stock. 2. BTC is not a token, it's a set of immutable data that, ideally, only you control.
and they are crying about maybe being down $20 in one day. I'm sorry their 0.001 BTC bought on Monday hasn't made them able to retire today
It doesn’t need that much money to flow into BTC for the market cap to be valued at that just saying. 1 billion can move the market cap 5 bil for example
What type of action would one take if they used their own mind? What difference would it make if didn't follow anyone's advice and thought everyone was out to get me, made my own decisions and later realized if I did follow that person's advice that I would have been worse off. I have made money and lost money following other people's advice. So go on, tell me. A lot of people have their own generalizations about BTC. How are you any different if you are going to keep telling me I have to use my own mind when I have before and also gained and lost. How is your advice any different? You need to get into specifics if you expect me ir anyone else hold anything you have said to any measure of validity. Stop saying the same, sounds good on paper BS, and actually say something useful.
Are we joking? Do you really think this is a downtrend? The BTC sphere has some of the biggest retards Ive encountered in trading, like OP
If you’re interested in altcoins at all, there’s still plenty that haven’t broken out yet. I think we’ll get a proper alt rally this cycle - ETH.D near range lows, BTC.D near highs. If you’re a BTC only guy, the breakout usually retests the range highs from the bottom and that would be (historically) the time to scoop a little. Each cycle is different though
Post is by: drykilo and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ww0pod/i_generated_hundreds_of_crypto_trading_strategies/ I built a validation pipeline that runs strategies through 7 stages on real Binance data: Stage 1: code safety scan, in-sample, out-of-sample, walk-forward, randomized starts, slippage stress and Stage 7: final holdout slice nothing else touches. 6 months of 5 minute candles per run on BTC/ETH/SOL domains (ran on my weak laptop so going past 6 months would take a few extra days, I'll do a VM run next with more data). Then I made a generator with several ideas and let it auto create and run the gauntlet on them (In retrospect might have been inefficient. I should have fed previously passed strategies back in to guide generation but I was a bit paranoid about correlation and spawning 416 clones). It took me a few days to run and the repo is almost everything that came out: 406 rejects plus 10 survivors, each with a report card showing in-sample and OOS returns, Sharpe, drawdown, trade count, the exact stage it died on and why. [github.com/CacheCarti/Crypto-Strategies](http://github.com/CacheCarti/Crypto-Strategies) **The interesting stuff I found:** * The single best-looking backtest in the batch `pctb_fade_sol_v3`, **+2014bps in-sample!!! :O went -112bps** the moment it ran on unseen data. * Literal astrology meme bots I created for fun got decently high returns in backtests but obviously failed in validation. Backtests have a big element of luck because of the smaller time frame! Unreliable!! (Please do not consider the report cards showing a strategy with high PnL as a "good" strategy. I might have been luck) * Out of all the strategies, **only one showed an in-sample Sharpe above 1.5**. But it failed validation anyway. If you're searching for the perfect backtest in this dataset it basically doesn't exist. * 25 strategies were profitable out-of-sample and STILL got rejected. They couldn't survive walk-forward and injected slippage. Green OOS numbers by itself is just most probably luck until proven otherwise, but they definitely might be a good place to fork and improve on in the future! * Weirdest result: some of the 10 survivors have **negative OOS returns.** They passed because they held up under perturbation and randomized starts. * The family that dominated was kinda bizzare: `asia_drift_btc` BTC drifts during Asian session hours, **7/9 of these variants passed!** Meanwhile the families everyone actually trades went **0/9** across the board: Donchian breakouts, bollinger squeezes, RSI reversion, orderbook imbalance. Context beat TA, so is TA dead??? Lol, my generator was probably bad at writing them, someone smart could actually build a good template for TA strategies. * Every BTC scalping variant failed: 0/18. At \~7bps a side in fees, the edge you need on 5-minute bars is brutal. Anything thinner cannot survive. It might have been my own 5 minute time windows of evaluation though. The code is plain Python on a simple predict-style contract, so they can drop into most backtesters. Most of the rejects failed on robustness rather than logic, so they're actually decent starting points if you want to improve them. Happy to answer questions on the methodology. If anyone improves the strategies and gets different results I'd love to see it! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Nobody knows that brother. Anyone saying they do is lying. Never invest money you must have in a short time. That’s how you get stuck selling at a loss. And yes BTC will drop again before going higher. It always does and most good analyst think we see a good pullback before this bear market ends.
Because there is absolutely no guarantee of $100k? It's such a stupid question. It's like asking now "why would someone buy BTC before it goes down to $50k?" It didn't. Yknow why? Cause we can't predict prices or world events. In moments like hitting $100k, why would you sell before reaching $125k? Sorry to use the word stupid but it baffles me how it can be a thing. Acting like there's an absolute certainty - in which case sell the car, house and anything else you own because you'll be guaranteed to be rich. But you're not. And I'm bullish. But I'm long term bullish and make decisions based on that.
Will BTC reach $250k definitely! When? That's the big question, 12 month may be truth may be not, but as per today is just speculation
I sure hope so. I’ll get my 10 BTC quicker than I planned.
I predict BTC will either go up, down or sideways.
I rather mean I will pay my artist from the 3k pile every some weeks some hundreds of the 3k. if I would have invested the 3k maybe it's in some weeks 3,2k but I'm scared that right when I need the money the BTC will crash

El mejor plan en BTC tiene dos fases: 1. Comprar sin ver precios 2. Olvidar En 10 años me lo agradeces
Look at the US bond market. Dipped this morning, BTC up. As it has been creeping up the last 4+ hours BTC has bled off. That's what it seems to be tied to recently.
I sold half of my BTC to put in Solona and Lite to see if they get better returns during the next rocket
I don't think asking some, "Why can't you think for yourself". I used YouTube videos and read a book on BTC because I wanted to inform myself so that I could.... well, think for myself. There is a reason why you research into something before blindly buying it. In fact, thinking for myself would suggest that it would go down to 32K or 33K, not 40K. I was surprised when some of my sources were saying mid 40s and not low 30s but here we are. I honestly would rather miss out to some degree then listen to some jackass that says buy buy buy. Buy buy buy is not a feasible option dude. Some people don't want to part with their money so recklessly. I think some of you out there that think like that have made a lot of money before that 2017 20K spike and because of it you have enough leverage yourself to tell people to make decisions that are good for them based on how long they would have to sit and wait for it to be worth it. Why can't people like you see why others want to wait for a better opportunity if they think one will come? What is wrong with that? I could put 80% of what I got into BTC right now and in three days it drop to that 40K number. What then? How long until it surpasses the mid 80s? 150K? 200K? This is not a fucking joke dude. You don't know people's situation and if things get bad enough money and BTC ownership or lack there of won't be what you have to worry about. It would be riots and collapse of society. If you live in the United States would you move? Where would you go? What language would you be willing to learn or sharpen up on from your high-school language requirement.
Go for BTC tattoo Worth every drop!!!
Is $1 million per BTC possible before 2030?
Me too. If you don't count my house which is mostly paid off I've got about 75% of NW in BTC. I took out loans to buy my last three cars, refinish my basement, redo the driveway, etc., rather than sell some Bitcoin and pay for them outright, so technically I'm leveraging the Bitcoin. I could have sold and paid cash for that stuff but I'm very happy I didn't. I'm thrilled to pay the bank 5-7% interest while my btc continuea to appreciate. I'll consider selling some BTC when I have over $1M in BTC. Until then I wait and stack.
That move was wild 🔥 BTC really decided to wake up. Curious to see if this momentum holds or we get a pullback from here.
Would be awesome, but probably not Still, I'd say it is a good time to sell some BTC, yes. It'll probably be cheaper until the end of the month
BTC is a wildly fluctuating currency. Unless your tattoo artist accepts bitcoin (might as well ask lol) I would just hold the cash
theres a big difference between 5 cent BTC and 85,000 dollar BTC kids.
I had bought some BTC ETFs for price exposure. Then I had a random video in my feed with Simon Dixon. Then another with Jeff Booth and my mind was blown. Spent the next 2 months Obsessively reading and listening to people in the space and I realized there was no going back. It took a few weeks to convince my wife but now shes fully onboard. We even have 2 cats named Bitcoin and Satoshi lol.
Unpopular opinion but BTC will never become mainstream, so far it has failed to gain any real life relevance
Do you want to preserve wealth into the future? BTC. Would you prefer whatever shapes on your body? Buy tattoos. That value is yours to judge.
Got a question boys: Should I buy if I need to sell in 2-3 Months? Got 3.000€ for Tattoos should I buy BTC with it and sell it if I need the money to pay or the tattoos or don't invest the 3k?
If you're trading options and things like that, sure, but this is BTC - it's very 'set it and forget it's since it takes months to years for action to happen. We hype each other up but tbh BTC is very chill
Timing the market is statistically impossible to do consistently. The people that get lucky and sell at good prices end up dumping their profits into other investments that they end up mistiming. Then when BTC moons they whine about missing out on millions in gains. I'm sure you can find exeptions but they only serve to prove the rule.
Chasing x40 influencer shitcoins and wasting cycles and stress, and seeing btc X6 with ETF money that would never trickle down into alts. A X5 would have been way more than enough. I could just see my dream of owning 1 btc fly away. Only BTC by now on. The only true and mature investment.
When i bought $100 worth on Coinbase in 2018 and totally forgot about it until i checked last year and saw what it was worth. Went all in near the top last year. The was my aha moment that BTC was a valuable asset and to treat it like any other. HODL. Stay calm. DCA. Don't follow hype. I excitedly DCA'd all the way down to the 60s and am still doing so.
What happened definitely wasn't the most obvious path BTC took. That means it's not predictable. How can you have any certainty right after all that? DCA is the way, anything else is noise, there's nothing "official" here bro
When you say to yourself. The oldest person I know who owns BTC is 30. Do I think more people or less people will own it on the future? Then I look at who is “influencing” the next generation and they are for the most part pro BTC. At that point, I don’t need to understand anything other than that although I do have a degree in finance and accounting.
Zooming out cuts both ways, as $BTC drawdown history usually rewards patients while punishing short-term buyers.
No, you're too late. BTC has already peaked, only downhill from here 😋
Why would you do that as BTC crosses 200 wma and every indicator is saying bullish. Why. WHY
I think BTC goes up like a sharp 2-3% every Friday for the past month or two because everyone gets paid and DCA’s lol
The best moment was yesterday and the 2nd best moment is today. You will never find the right moment to start…when you realize it and decide BTC will be at 300K and you will regret not having started earlier. At the current cycle stage we are in, I recommend that you start now 😁😁
"I sold 25% of my BTC holdings for dry powder in case this october/november "bloodbath" actually does come." jesus christ
Not yet time to profit take. When BTC hits 100k-126k range this is when to profit take since 10% ownership was bought at this range and those owners will probably take that chance to exit position. This will cause price to clash with the support level at 75-90k range (which is 25% of owners majority of which is institutional). So the play right now is absolutely to buy. Then sell when BTC hits above 100k. Then buy back at \~85k. This is the short term long term play.
I would add BitBox02 BTC-only to that list. Very reputable HW wallet from switzerland
Because if the overall market truly crashes for the first time in the history of BTC we’ll be seeing a lot lower before seeing 100l again
Most likely but don’t get ahead of yourself. BTC has a tendency to suprise the F out of you, as soon as everyone starts to think one thing and do the opposite
I’m 120% invested, meaning yes, I took out a loan and am paying it off slowly while BTC is appreciating in value. So far, so good.
I just want to explain my thought process, this wasn't to try to dunk on you or anything - I just used your comment as a general market sentiment pulse. Everything I was watching was indicating that the bottom was in or near (I actually thought we'd get another 10-15% drop). Not that it can't drop back to $60k, but I just think the data shows that it's unlikely. My invalidation criteria that I'm correct would be if we get a weekly close below $67.5k; I don't' think the market will allow everyone to perfectly wait and accumulate again at the lows (I could be wrong). I was in the same camp last bear market and missed out on great buys waiting for $12k BTC.
It's Trump fumbling the economy combined with the investment in AI, otherwise there would be much more investment into BTC right now.
You don't have to be lock in. Either you are in or out in BTC. Go ham or dont even touch it.
BTC is a liquid asset. If you need money you sell, and if you don't you buy. Even when it hits the next ATH it won't be a straight line up.
The act of holding savings in BTC or gold inherently removes monetary power from government. Both serve to remove money the influence that comes with it from the system that enables the money printing. In other words, the government can retain its “power” to print, but the more people have opted out of such currencies, the less that power matters.
Is there anyway to lift the buying restrictions on Coinbase? After maxing out my limits 3 days in a row, they won't let me buy until my limit resets in 3 day... meanwhile BTC is climbing 😭😭
I recently purchased at $79k, so speaking as an expert in the space and someone with a clear knack for reading this market I say no, you are too late to this and you should quit. but seriously, I bought 4 bitcoin back in the day when they were $65 bucks to buy drugs for a bachelor party off of the Silk Road. I forgot I bought them the next morning (almost certainly drug related) then realized a year or so later when they were $400 that I was sitting on $2400 *whole real dollars*, so I sold them and felt like an absolute genius, until 2017….. my point in sharing this anecdote is that there is no bad time to buy, even if you bought at $126k. In my opinion owning bitcoin, at minimum, even if your BTC investment ends up being a net negative when you die, keeps you engaged with the space, the technology, with whatever our economy is becoming. it’s building a muscle that everyone on the planet is going to need, which is the “shit I can’t just work for a paycheck anymore and expect to live my life with meaningful security, I need to be aware of markets, crypto and otherwise, and I need to do this daily” muscle. For me, the only way I was able to develop that muscle was by engaging with and trading crypto. i learned more about myself, the world, and how and why shit really happens in life by trading shit coins than I ever learned in college. my Loopring stories are even funnier than the BTC one. of course at maximum the BTC trade ends up being a play for total financial liberty, because I do believe anyone who is in this early is going to do very well. as long as they don’t do what 26 year old me did and sell their whole coins to rent a shore house for a month to do jagerbombs and sleep until 1pm with young ladies of dubious distinction. then you would be doing less well, but I guess still kinda alright, depending on how you look at it.
First let me say I’m a BTC bull. But BTC has never existed during a SPY crash. Trust me if the SPY ends up crashing in the next year or so and we go into some sort of depression, BTC is coming with it and likely sub 50k.
Bitcoin is a weekly purchase in my opinion, and has been for years! You can never have enough BTC in my eyes!! Hopefully my daughter will reap the benefits of my investment in BTC over the years!!
Those dancing dudes are probably the ones that sold their BTC on a high. Watching dude just takes cold showers instead.
If you want to own BTC, then buy BTC. If you only want it at $40k, then wait for $40k. But just accept that you might never own it.
2% overall or 2% of your cRyPtO? If you're shitcoin holdings are anywhere close to the BTC holdings, yer doing it wrong.
Chasing an arbitrary $82k target ignores macro liquidity; DCA into $BTC gradually instead of timing short-term dips.
This is apples an oranges, comparing USD inflation against BTC conversion makes no sense. Compare buying power for both.
I'm planning my exit. I want to use my BTC to buy another rental property
Spent $330 AUD on a tank of diesel last week - a new PB. When I was buying sheets of 100 tabs for 4 BTC off SilkRoad I never thought I’d be paying over $3 pet litre for diesel …. Or BTC would actually hit $100k. I dreamed it would hit a million on my fantasies but never $100k in reality.
