BTC

Comfortable-Half5165

Bitcoin will likely lead, but some altcoins can outperform it in a bull run — with much higher risk. Strong narratives like AI, RWAs, and ecosystem tokens could see bigger % gains. If projects like **RYO** keep building real utility and adoption, they could outperform on upside. BTC is the base. Alts are the higher-risk, higher-reward play.

BlockFi and Celsius should be a reminder of what happens when you're seeking yield on your BTC.

0.1 BTC is better

ThulsaAmon

Say we live in the future where all BTC is mined out. Two people are selling- 1btc for 1mil. .8btc for 1 mil. What exactly does owning "1btc" over ".8" give you? There is 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis ever possible to be created. So people can keep dividing and buying / selling / storing wealth in these units to the point of that many. So again, how is owning a BTC important?

soozler

I plan on dumping. will buy again when BTC is four digits

systembreaker

Bitcoin can't be divided infinitely. There is a smallest possible unit that the network accepts, 0.00000001 BTC. But even if bitcoin could be divided infinitely, that wouldn't somehow make bitcoin have infinite value. As an analogy say there's a guy who buys water for $X per gallon. You can sell him 100 gallons for 100*X dollars, right? Now say you sell him half a gallon, you get 0.5*X dollars. For 0.0000001 gallon you get 0.0000001*X dollars. And so on. Let's say we can sell him an arbitrarily small fraction of water and he'll still give you X times that fraction of dollars. But one day you go up to the guy to sell some water and he announces "I have a new rule, the smallest unit of water I will accept is 0.01 gallon". Does this rule change the value of the water you sell to him? No, he'll still give you X per gallon dollars. It's just that he set a limit for the smallest amount you can sell him. Well, the bitcoin network was designed to accept a smallest unit of bitcoin and nothing smaller, a satoshi or sat. 1 sat always has the same value relative to bitcoin's value, just like how half a bitcoin is always worth 0.5 BTC, except that a satoshi is special being the smallest amount that's allowed to be used in a transaction. In general computers can work with much smaller decimals than 0.00000001, but that's irrelevant because we're talking about the bitcoin network which was designed with this smallest allowable unit.

ThulsaAmon

Lol'd at first statement. But think you're missing is a pie has a use case, and a physical value. One pie is useful for eating and providing x amount of nutrition and satiety. One bitcoin is completely speculative and with no actual use case or even physical existence. Thus, It can be divided up into insanely small units that a pie cannot be. Also, again, it's value is speculative and really contingent on the buyer. So if someone says "I want to sell 0.00001 of a Btc for one million" or "one dollar", it's not backed up by anything and just lives on sentiment. Thus have one BTC is not inherently more value than any other unit of BTC because (ultimately) it is finite. It is 100% speculative, tiny digital units.

systembreaker

It is absolutely true. The smallest possible Bitcoin is 0.00000001 BTC

Zestyclose-Cry-9969

To be clear before you read any further, I'm pro BTC and yes the supply matters. It's not the whole point, but it's a major point. Just do more research and you'll learn quick. Listen to old podcasts with Preston Pysch or Jack Mallers. This is a rookie question. Sorry to be blunt.

Patrick_Atsushi

Let's see if BTC will hold it when the stock market dumped :p

ThulsaAmon

Dude, use your brain. The OP is saying "How is owning 1btc so important". Well all up there's around 21 million BTC ever, then that can be divided also infinitesimally small so as price increases, it can just flow down to the decimal, of which there HEAPS. A Satoshi is 0.00000001 of a bitcoin, which means there is a lot more of a tradeable commodity than 21 Mil.

EvilBeanz59

How is it not if you can split it theoretically in infinite parts? Serious question. I have always wondered what’s stopping someone from getting .0000000000000(enter any amount of zeros)1 BTC? Etc etc…. Sure there are only X amount but even just one theoretically could be split up into so many small parts that you could almost call just even one bitcoin infinite?

ecrane2018

You’re looking at how the decimal points work. You are not dividing the BTC you are selling 8,000 satoshis the actual base unit of Bitcoin. Kinda like how you don’t have to buy a Troy ounce of gold you can a gram or an ounce or any other unit of measure. Gold is very divisible.

Visible-Structure-86

If you’re looking at “new coins,” I’d zoom out and ask: Is the token just inflation + marketing… Or does it actually do something structurally different? One project worth studying from a design perspective is RTRx (Reflectr) because of its Cascade system. Here’s what Cascade actually allows you to do: 1️⃣ Choose Your Base Rewards (Layer 1) Holding RTRx lets you select 1 or 2 reward assets out of 7 options (BTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, BCH + curated DeFi tokens). You’re not locked into a single emissions token — you choose exposure. 2️⃣ Provide Liquidity Without Losing Holder Rewards (Layer 2) Normally when you LP a token, you stop earning reflections. With Cascade, LP providers still receive Layer 1 rewards. So your capital can: • Sit in LP • Earn pool incentives • Still collect chosen base rewards That’s stacked yield instead of trade-offs. 3️⃣ Earn DEX Fees (Layer 3) Since it’s standard PancakeSwap-style liquidity, you also collect trading fees directly from volume. So Cascade lets you: • Earn BTC/XRP/SOL/etc while holding • Earn those same rewards while LPing • Earn pool-specific rewards • Earn DEX trading fees • Compound rewards like BCH back into the pool to increase position size There are currently 11 live Cascade pools, including BCH recently added. The interesting part is that volatility increases volume → which increases fee flow → which increases reward throughput. It’s not designed as a pump token. It’s designed as a liquidity engine. If you’re evaluating newer projects, it’s at least an interesting case study in capital efficiency and layered incentives. Do your own research — but structurally, it’s different from most “new coin” launches

JDB-667

Theoretically yes. If for whatever reason it became a currency and BTC continues to appreciate to significant enough value, then Satoshis (or sats) will be of a proportional value that they can be used to transact. So, 21 million BTC = 2.1 quadrillion sats. Again it's all theoretical at this point and assumes a few things that remain to be seen.

3DanO1

Does the AMOUNT of limited BTC matter? No, the number itself is arbitrary. The fact that it’s finite is what matters.

A_Dragon

Get cash. Meet someone in person that has BTC. Show them your cash. They transfer the BTC to your wallet. You give them the cash.

Unable_Illustrator_2

Seems like BTC already recovered. I was able to get more BTC at 63,500.

Visible-Structure-86

If you’re looking at newer projects, I’d focus less on hype narratives and more on structure. One project worth researching is RTRx (Reflectr). It’s not trying to be the next meme cycle — it’s built around liquidity architecture. What makes it different: • Holders choose 1 or 2 rewards from 7 options (BTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, BCH + curated DeFi tokens) • If you provide LP, you still earn holder rewards • On top of that, you earn DEX trading fees (PancakeSwap etc.) So instead of “hold or farm,” it stacks both. They currently have 11 Cascade pools live, and BCH was recently added. You can compound earned BCH back into the pool, which creates an interesting reinforcement loop. It’s more of a capital-efficiency play than a hype play. Not financial advice — just something structurally different that’s worth digging into if you’re evaluating new designs.

Rydog_78

There have always been sellers, those who are willing to part from their Bitcoin at a price. Just last year a whale sold 80,000 BTC which signaled this current bear market we are in and this is with Bitcoin’sbuilt in feature of absolute scarcity that this videos has repeated highlighted. I think the credit market built on top of Bitcoin will be massive because it will allow people to borrow from their Bitcoin without ever having to sell. That is when selling your Bitcoin isn’t the option and borrowing dollars becomes the option.. It’s something the wealthy have been doing forever and it will be the how Bitcoin owners build wealth. By using their wealth create businesses and create value and demand to get paid in Bitcoin no less. When no one is willing to sell a single coin because they would rather just borrow fiat, the price will squeeze.

OpportunityPrudent39

BTC bounced back strongly a month after Ukraine/Russia blew up. We’ll see how it goes this month.

thethoughtstream

Yes, and it is. You think all these ETF issuers and "treasuries" actually hold the BTC they claim to buy? There is heavy speculation that they don't, thus artificially inflating supply and inevitably driving down price.

stoveen

Wait there's paper BTC? Can't they just manipulate that?

ahhhaccountname

The entire point of BTC is to be a digital replacement for gold with a finite supply. Hopefully some day people see its relevency for this purpose instead of choosing an inefficient paper ownership of gold that may or may not even have any gold behind it. Unless you hold gold physically, you essentially are doing the same as holding BTC on an exchange. I believe barely anyone actually holds gold physically so I don't see a modern use case for this.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Which only proves how dumb paper BTC is lol it abides by the five business day rules 

Awkward_Potential_

It actually makes sense to me. If the US bombing Iran on a weekend when BTC is the only thing trading, and we don't get a new low, doesn't tell you something, I'm not sure what will.

Oddly enough, BTC made its biggest increases under Biden. So "owning the libs" unleashed a leopard that ate their faces.

No stocks, Split between cash, gold, silver and BTC. Working to move systematically move cash to the latter 3. DCA FOR BTC and buy silver and gold when the deals are good.

I stopped trying to. Seriously. Most of it is the same recycled take anyway. I just check the Fear & Greed Index, watch BTC and ETH dominance, and let my trading bots run the actual strategy. Way less screen time, way less FOMO

MC_SKWAIRD

PS I sold my BTC at $110k, purchased my initial position and DCA all the way until that initial dip when I dumped it all. Now I’m waiting to enter ~$55k but I think it’s going all the way to $40k I just don’t want to miss it trying to time the bottom

I got them from fountains when BTC was 7 cents. They were worth about a buck when my laptop crashed. In reality I lost $7.

Ok_Location_1092

Paper BTC certainly has this effect, but they’re not going to short some too hard for too long where they can easily get squeezed themselves. Unlike gold/silver you can mine more of, or stocks where MMs create shares and keep shorts open nearly indefinitely, the BTC supply can not manipulated to the same extent, because sooner or later they’re getting squeezed as long as demand for self custody BTC remains.

Enough_Angle_7839

Feels like classic geopolitics → macro → BTC reflex. If escalation around Iran actually threatens energy flows (Hormuz etc.), markets usually move through oil shock → inflation → monetary stress — and that’s where Bitcoin narratives start to strengthen structurally, not just on headlines. Here is a macro breakdown of this dynamic here: [https://btcusa.com/war-and-peace-of-crypto-us-iran-escalation-hormuz-risk-and-the-future-of-bitcoin-in-wartime-economies/](https://btcusa.com/war-and-peace-of-crypto-us-iran-escalation-hormuz-risk-and-the-future-of-bitcoin-in-wartime-economies/)

Faster_than_FTL

Looks like Wall Street has found a way to make their way into BTC and make money off all the retail masses. So much for BTC ever becoming a currency or anything other than a highly speculative asset

Michichael

Buy dips the REMOVE THE BTC FROM THE EXCHANGES ane do not sell it. Every one BTC removed from the exchange removes 100 BTC of leverage position. Without the regulations that stocks have, the short squeeze possible has an infinite upside.

Available_Win5204

That's like saying the financial derivatives market isn't used by "non finance customers." Sorry it didn't turn out to be a sudoku app on your phone. Hold BTC if you want something for dumb people.

Available_Win5204

Assuming this was written by a human (which I already doubt), you've said nothing. Zero substance in here. Sounds pretty desperate to me. At least BTC bag holders readily admit their only real hope is selling to someone dumber at a higher price, since they've long abandoned pretending to believe any of the fake narratives that got them to buy. This is even worse than that.

We have all the power against big companies, or thats the narrative ive been told all my life. The people, united, will never be defeated. And it was shown in 2021 with Gamestop. Right, stocks and crypto are not the same, but all i see now about bitcoin is uncertainty, not only about his price, but about if its useless or not, that was a huge question that drove BTC all this years, adoption, purposes of it etc... But as days are passing, the most reasonable pov here is, bitcoin, as many other cryptos, are just useful for trading, try to earn some money with short/long positions, or in the other hands, for money laundering, scams or any other kind of crime. People keep buying it, yes, but i dont think most of that people will get rich or do enough money to retire like it happened years ago, they just buy trying to make some money, or at least is what i feel reading many subs and comments, or watching any youtube videos. D Also, and in adittion to the actual feeling about it, people is talking about quantum computering and everything, and looks like that could be a big problem, not only in crypto, but in every financial/social term in general. People just doesnt trust in nothing anymore, and thats where i wanted to go. Most of us people here, are probably low-mid class, struggling to live if not in worse conditions, at least i have a job that lets me rent a room and have something to eat. But not buying a house, not having a car, not able to help my parents, sometimes not even being able to pay for unexpected problems, even having some money saved. We cant afford almost nothing for ourselves, and thats how the system is designed, to keep us there. In life, rich/wealthy people need poor people to exist, but that doesnt mean we have to struggle through it all our damn life, not when united, we can change something. Personally, i wouldnt be greedy, i dont need to retire my grandsons, but i feel wealth is so bad distributed and those that could actually help, since the 3 most rich people in the world could end wars, hunger, and everything, but they dont have to do it, its their money and i cant expect others to do what i would do, but im also tired of feeling that everything im doing its not worth the sacrifice, not worth the time and health, not worth the work im putting in, 28 yo, renting an apartment that takes 60-70% my salary from TWO jobs, not able to go on any trip/vacation or even have anything by myself. And thats me, in actually, not a bad position, since theres people having hard times and big problems, struggling way more in life, thats why im saying this, for me, but for all this working people, like my parents, my sister, some friends, the people go try to do their best everyday and just dont feel its worth it anymore. Dont let people lose the faith, their senses, their humanity. We have much more power than we think, and there are ways to do it, we just dont see it because thats how the world worked for older people all their lives, and how it works for people nowadays. What do y'all think? Could we just reunite sometimes and make any coin/stock rise and help eachothers or should we just keep handling, silent and selfish?

Many bitcoins are already lost for good, it is estimated that up to 6-7 million bitcoins. Either private keys were lost, people forgot their seeds, etc. So we definitely can't talk about 21 million BTC.

BTC is pumped back to 66k and i think it will keep on like it. until monday morning. may be it will go around 55k

Son_of_Sephiroth

They’ll be watching oil prices closely and what happens with the Straight of Hormuz. If there’s an oil supply shock expect to see a leg down in BTC, until then I think the attitude is we already fell from 70k recently so these events are already priced in. Either way I think ETF outflows will wipe out any weekend price recovery on Monday if the broader market reacts badly to all this.

Ok_Location_1092

No one knows. I’m guessing more BTC will be liquidated over the weekend. The attack seemed pretty likely so there wasn’t a massive sell off in panic. Then again, there will be plenty of people who see these events as bullish for Bitcoin and want to buy. Unless the conflict takes an unexpected turn, I’d imagine nothing crazy happens with price this weekend, as institutions wait to see how the market reacts. If it’s red, I’m sure BTC will be too. But I won’t be surprised if the market is fairly indifferent as institutions may feel there is actually less uncertainty now than before strikes began.

Donkeydonkeydonk

It's AI. Karma farmer. Here's my version. Please give me all the updoots. Post Title: I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW!!! FOUND MY 150 BTC WALLET IN A BOX OF LITERAL TRASH!!!! Subreddit: r/Bitcoin Posted by: u/DiamondHandsHODL69 GUYS. GUYS. GUYS. I am literally shaking, crying, throwing up, and doing backflips in my mom's basement right now. You are NOT going to believe this absolute brain-dead luck I just had. THE BACKSTORY (I am a certified moron): So back in 2013, I was high on caffeine and Mountain Dew and bought like 150 Bitcoin because I thought the logo looked like a cool gold coin from Mario. I think I paid like $100 for the whole lot? Anyway, I put it on this crusty-ass 200GB hard drive and—because I am a literal genius—I encrypted it with a password that was just the lyrics to "All Star" by Smash Mouth but with numbers for the vowels. Fast forward: I forgot which vowels I swapped. I tried 4llSt4r... nothing. I tried 3llSt3r... nothing. I figured I was doomed to be a wagie forever. I threw the drive into my "Box of Shame" which is mostly just broken GameCube controllers, half-eaten beef jerky, and old Shrek DVDs. THE MIRACLE: I’m "cleaning" today (aka my mom threatened to evict me if I didn't find the floor), and I find the drive. It’s covered in mystery goo. I plug it in, and it’s making a sound like a cat in a blender. I’m clicking around, crying because I can't remember if I used a 5 or an S. Then, I find an old, grease-stained Taco Bell receipt from November 2013 tucked inside a copy of Guns & Ammo. THE REVEAL: On the back of the receipt, written in CRAYON (because I couldn't find a pen), is a 24-word seed phrase. But get this—because I was "super into spy stuff" back then, I didn't write the words. I wrote the page numbers and word counts from a 2012 Sears Catalog. I actually still had the catalog under my bed (don't ask why). I spent four hours flipping through pages of lawnmowers and denim jeans to find the words. Toaster Cargo Pants... you get the idea. THE PAYOUT: I just typed those 24 stupid words into a new wallet. I didn't even need the Smash Mouth password. BALANCE: 150.00000000 BTC CURRENT VALUE: $4,215,675.69 I am officially a multi-millionaire because I was too lazy to throw away a Sears Catalog and a Taco Bell receipt for ten years. I am currently eating a cold Burrito Supreme to celebrate. TL;DR: I’m a billionaire (basically) because of Shrek, Sears, and Taco Bell. See ya later, losers! I’m buying a private island shaped like a Dogecoin! 🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕🌕 Would you like me to add some "angry jealous redditor" comments to really capture the vibe?

OceanPassion66

I can respect your answer. I too was heavily invested and DCA’d to gain 6 BTC, Freedom! However, the more I learned, the media/govt control the narrative. BTC took off because it was an anti govt freedom coin but built by the govt itself with illusion. They front ran it and the gains are due to them pumping it. They can kill it through narratives anytime they want through media or they can pump it anytime they want through media as well. The people don’t have a say, BTC pumps or dumps based on govt, sailor etc. Sailor is already programming people that it could go to 8k but “he’s not selling” .. and “will refinance with another bank loan to buy more” Total typical soap opera at play, pumping and dumping through new narratives. I trusted the concept too, now sick for those that can’t see it.

Objective-Choice6518

Sold all my BTC last year. It was 20% of my portfolio back then Im now slowly rebuying It, it's currently 5% of my portfolio but I plan to make It 40% by the end of this year Ana then I'll sell most of it (but not all, my new plan is to never have less than 5% in BTC) on 2028. Rinse and repeat until the cycles stop working.

An anti govt coin that was created by the govt to fool the people that it was the people’s freedom coin. Now still controlled by the govt of which the value of your bag is determined by whether they pump or dump it. Trust the govt. and keep stacking BTC.

When I got to 1 BTC I stopped adding to it. At the time it was about 1/3 of my liquid investments (non-retirement accounts). Now it's a lot less.

jetfinder_official

if BTC drops during conversion then you ask your client to pay the difference. clients are fine to pay a bit more to cover exchange rate dump risks. As a broker, there is NO legal requirement to perform AML due diligence on source of crypto - we are not lawyers and we are not a bank. it is not our job to investigate. Accept crypto, pay the operator, keep commission and let clients fly. Simple.

Ryytter

What coins can you receive? Fees on BTC is quite high. If you are happy with a small amount of some coin with cheap fees I'll send you a small amount free of charge. If it can be bought on revolut and sent I'm down for it. I know small amount doesn't matter in the big picture but I'd like to reward young people for taking steps towards a brighter financial future. Then I can scratch of doing the good deed for the day as well 👍

As of Feb 21st, 403,460 BTC had been purchased between $60,000 and $70,000 and that was a week ago, must be much higher now. There's no shortage of demand at these levels. Of course no one knows if the bottom is in, but it's possible, and a lot of people waiting for lower / October would miss out if that was the case.

the_rodent_incident

Ah, yes, he was an OG big blocker. Now I feel sorry for him. Imagine having like 100 BTC, and getting additional 100 BCH after the fork. He must've felt super smart, and probably converted his 100 BTC into like 500 BCH. Fast forward 9 years later: he has like 600 BCH, which are worth $260K. Had he kept his 100 BTC, now he'd have like ... >6 million? Big blockers are morally right, yes. Their story is true. Their intents are noble. But they'll forever stay poor. BCH never reached an ATH, and keeps dropping lower year by year.

Turbulent-Land-5664

Just stack if you believe in the longer term. Buy more when its low. Don't try to predict anything - don't trade, don't risk more than just holding BTC itself. Focus only on how much BTC you hold, not what its worth today. It is a risky investment - I believe in it and am all in, however I also sleep better knowing that if I lost it all tomorrow I will survive. But I am all in because - no guts no glory. I will risk my safe future for glory. I want the possibility of an outstanding outcome - safe is all mushy peas innit?

Squeiner

I think the first time I read the whitepaper and actually understood it was the moment for me.  The first time I read it at all, I had no idea what most things meant. So I learned about things like hashing and gained a very full understanding of how it works and what it is and why BTC uses it. I learned about inflation which led me to learning about money in general. I learned about networks and peer to peer vs server client architectures. I have learned about the Byzantine generals problem and why it matters. I learned about economics very broadly, this one actually became my biggest interest in life. I learned about scarcity and how it applies to the things in life that we use and produce and consume. I learned about blockchains in general and the blockchain trilema and layered systems and scaling solutions. I learned about decentralization and how order can arise without central direction. And then one day I went back to read the whitepaper again and it all fell into place.

Most go heavy stocks, smaller BTC, like 70/30 or 80/20. Pick a split you can hold through a 50% drop.

36, having my first baby. 70% high risk roboadvisor (mostly index funds yielding around 20% every year), 15% high yields savings, 15% BTC. Buying a lot of BTC right now though, so that’ll probably bump up. Not counting 401K…that’s got the most

617.84 BTC long 450.69 BTC short Barely skewed towards long. Not a sign of rotation, feels more like taking advantage of short-termo volatility.

Agreed with everything except this one. >Both gold and BTC use off ramps to exchange for dollars to spend. The number of shops I can walk in and pay in bitcoin keeps going up. https://BTCmap.org The same cannot be said about gold.

Market makers like to capitalize on fear by making the market red so people sell. It’s obvious if you have two brain cells. This sub with one brain cell: “BTC isn’t a safe asset anymore! People are looking for an excuse to sell!” 🙄

The narrative that the govt pushes for BTC is digital gold. Gold value is currently going up in war and BTC is going down as Inverse Digital Gold. Where’s my security of holding BTC if it goes down with uncertainty?? It’s a legitimate question.

2% BTC, 80% VOO and VTI, 10% DIA, 8% individual stocks and some bonds

What would you tather have right now, Dinars or BTC?

You're joking? There is a direct correlation between wars starting and markets OF ALL KINDS Going down. Including BTC. Pick up a history book.

BTC value behaves like an aggregate of most global markets, IMO, after watching it for 12 years.

Your argument was about betting markets counting as gambling or investing. Now you're on some tangent about DCAing into BTC? Like wtf are you even saying?

Awww, are you scared ? It’s ok, wealth isn’t for everyone. If you are not DCAing into these dips…… I hope you REALLY enjoy your job. $67k down to $64k ?!? (At the time of your comment). Time to sell everything! BTC is going to zero! 🤦🏻‍♂️
