BTC

arielsskudra11

It's crazy how much engagement milking is squeezed out of the BTC pizza story. You can do this with anything... *My grandpa sold his house of 20 grand 80 years ago. It would be worth 2 million today*

-BlackBread-

Yeah, I agree. BTC likely bottoms around 52k ish there's still more pain ahead. But people calling for sub-1k ETH is not gonna happen; max pain is probably 1200–1300. Always buy in parts and always DCA.

Savings-Leading4618

Why short just now? Now that BTC is breaking bearish structure for the first time since oct 10?

Syrion1984

One of the most effective methods of scaling into an asset, be it SOL, ETH, BTC or anything else is by employing DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging). In the case of SOL, say you have $100 to spend right now, just acquire SOL at whatever price it is at the moment and do so again the next time you have $100 to spend. Keep doing it and regardless of whether the price goes up or down over time, you'll build a nice portfolio at a good price.

DangerHighVoltage111

I added more direct links, gonna cry? BTC was irrelevant in the beginning, then it wasn't. Then it got hijacked. The point is p2p cash is not irrelevant and it is worth fighting for. On BTC you do not fight for p2p cash anymore, so it is actually irrelevant contrary to BCH and maybe XMR.

DangerHighVoltage111

BTC is mostly used custodial on LN. That's neither sound nor original. Satoshi is a Big Blocker. BCH is probably our only chance for sound p2p cash. Maybe XMR the second.

UPDATE: Following the trail on the blockchain The case began with a small physical object bought through the eBay marketplace in 2016. It looked like a sealed Bitcoin paper wallet. The public address was visible on the front. The private key and its QR code were hidden on the back beneath a scratch-off layer. That layer appeared intact. Years later, the card became the only physical witness left at the scene. On May 21, 2016, 4.71064406 BTC disappeared from its address without my authorization: Victim address: 1Bwo42o7eDakFgJ6srxjZnh3y5gTHUehyA Transaction: efc57c1e6640e8d28e137924eaf1c19c23ac34b1779dde1ecc899f5a17334dbc First receiving address: 1BTeq9DricViuNAoBMBWqCSUmGWappfwvZ The blockchain does not forget, but it does not explain itself either. It records movements, not motives. About 29 hours after the withdrawal, my output was spent together with 15 other inputs. That was the first real clue. The 4.71 BTC was no longer travelling alone. It had entered a much larger stream of funds. I followed the trail through: \- consolidation transactions; \- repeated addresses and WalletExplorer clusters; \- possible change outputs; \- peel-chain patterns; \- transaction timing and amounts; \- points where previously separate branches converged. Some later descendant branches reached an address that had historically been publicly described by the operator of PocketRocketsCasino as a cold wallet. A related WalletExplorer cluster later transferred 1,496.33401461 BTC into another large treasury-like cluster. This is where the detective story must slow down. It does not prove that PocketRocketsCasino, BetKing, an exchange, or any other later recipient stole my BTC. By that stage, the funds had already been mixed with many unrelated inputs. A service could have received them in the ordinary course of business without knowing their earlier history. WalletExplorer wallet IDs are also based on clustering heuristics. They are useful leads, not proof that two addresses had the same legal owner. AI helped me build the map. It organized public transaction data, compared branches, detected recurring structures and helped prepare the timeline. It did not identify the person who possessed the private key, and it did not prove ownership of any wallet. What can presently be verified: 1. The unauthorized transaction occurred. 2. Approximately 29 hours later, its output was consolidated with 15 other inputs. 3. The funds then entered larger transaction structures. 4. Some later branches interacted with gambling-related or treasury-like clusters. What remains unknown: 1. Who obtained the private key. 2. Whether the key was retained during generation or printing. 3. Whether the key was created using a weak or compromised generator. 4. Whether the eBay seller knew about any vulnerability. 5. Whether any later recipient knew that part of the funds originated from this incident. I am checking the surviving eBay purchase records. I will name the seller or payment processor only if documentary evidence confirms it. If anyone purchased the same “Coin Cold Card” product, especially through eBay around 2013–2016, please share only non-secret information: approximate date and country, seller name, public Bitcoin address, or TXID. Never share a private key, seed phrase, or an unredacted image of the private-key side. For now, the blockchain trail is visible. The person who started it is not.

BTC = the king, less multipliers in a bull run but the safest of them all - Very low risk ETH = the prince, better multiplier than BTC in a bull run + staking - Low risk SOL = the knight, better multiplied than ETH in a bull run + double the staking - medium risk

Adept-Tour1727

This post gave me depression and I didn't even buy any cheap BTC ever

Adept-Tour1727

Sounds like you just sent BTC to yourself? If that is the case it should still be there

quintavious_danilo

CEO dies, BTC dead. Prepare accordingly.

iloverunning11

I mean it is mostly about speculators and BTC holds little to no real value, but to say it's a dead tech, that requires a person that reaaaaally isn't tech-savvy

effdanwo

Personally, I do 2:1 BTC to XMR. Half the Bitcoin is in ETFs, and the other half is self-custody.

userdeath

You have 1 btc. Price hits 100k. You decide to sell 0. 1 BTC every 3 days. The hard part is sticking to it and fighting every instinct telling you to wait more and not sell now.

JumpProfessional3372

There are a lot more risks in the bank (because any individual working at the bank can do a mess if they want to and do not care about consequences). However, one thing the bank has at advantage is that to brute force you need to have physical access, while the BTC blockchain can be downloaded by anyone.

PuzzleheadedPilot638

If you're already 98% BTC you've basically won the war, throwing a little at SOL/ETH isn't going to unravel your portfolio.

Diamondhandminter

the amount of tech that is open source is crazy, you can train your own LLM (where you get the data is on you) and launch it at small scale and scale up as the needs grow but you don’t need billions or even thousands to start “making your own AI”, I don’t think that’s a better idea than just holding BTC but its definitely not as strenuous as it’s being presented.

fittes7

I am looking for long term let’s say 2-5 years from now I won’t be touching the money If I think BTC will remain functional years from now can you explain in short what I am missing?

UAP44

>I feel like I might be missing something If you still think BTC will remain functional as is within decades from know, then yes, you are missing something.

Appropriate_Unit3474

I like Monero and Zcash as a way to accumulateand immediately sell BTC for USD.

humblevladimirthegr8

I know some altcoins are "minted" by burning BTC so they might have been trying to pump/dump that market

Fantastic-Mall-3594

If mining doesn’t become more decentralized we’re all cooked soon anyway. Increased BTC cap, built in taxes etc. Run Knots, rent hashpower and point it to DATUM + OCEAN

Decibel0753

Yet another person with multisig... Just a way to lose your BTC through your own mistake...

GadJedi

Why did you transfer your BTC out of the wallet? You wasted sats to transfer. You should have just made a new backup of the correct seed phrase, which you will need to do anyway.

FitCompetition1804

I have no clue what you’re doing either, that makes two of us. So you have funds on trust wallet and you sent some BTC to the receive address on the same wallet?

PhilosopherNice483

I’d recommend starting with large-cap coins. Currently, BTC makes up over 50% of the crypto market. The rest is generally referred to as altcoins. The top 5 you see here are: * Bitcoin * Ethereum * BNB * XRP * Solana [https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/cmc20/](https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/cmc20/) Personally, I’d start with BTC first. Once you understand the basics, you can learn more about altcoins and DeFi if you find blockchain technology interesting. I also put together a guide explaining the different ways you can invest in crypto here: [https://www.papyruslearn.com/article/how-to-buy-bitcoin](https://www.papyruslearn.com/article/how-to-buy-bitcoin)

JeremyLinForever

Do it. Report back in two years when you mine for dollars today instead of BTC worth in the future. Good luck and have fun staying poor.

Dense-Permission8346

I disagree about this time next year. I think we will see btc, and the rest of the market start rising this week. Btc will be about $80k come September 1st. We will see the clarity act passed mid September, interest rates will get cut on September 16th at the next fomc meeting. This will propel crypto past ATHs going into mid-late November where BTC dominance falls and everyone rotates into alts. The euphoric blow off top for alts will be December/january. Just my two cents

tallguyyo

leverge on ur house and go back into BTC, its worth it

Alarmed-Door7322

Youre like 3 years to late man. Theres hundreds of thousands of meme coins. All of them pump and dumps. You literally had 30 minutes to an hour of a coin being made where you could make money on it. Those of us who weren't insiders looked to wallet address and tracked who bought first and how long they stayed in before pulling the rug. The train is long gone. They use AI and bots for making new coins. They can make a new coin in seconds and bots buy and sell it over and over again skimming every cent you put into it. If youre here asking how to get inside you wont. No one here will help you either. You need to cut all your losses in meme coins. You will never out trade the bots we use to do this. Even now they're less and less profitable. Buy BTC and leave it. Otherwise you might as well go to an atm and pull cash and toss it on the street. You'll have more luck making money that way

Last-Progress18

There hasn’t been a peak or any new participants since 2021 .. The only thing which happened recently is everyone realised meme frog coins are worthless, so equity concentrated on BTC.

UAP44

>But we are here for sound p2p cash and only BCH provides that.  BCH is not the only one, but BTC *definitely* isn't.

Stay away from Ledger at every cost!! I had a Ledger, had some issues with it locking up and not letting me into it. They have no phone # or customer support team. Have to email them, and get a call 6 days later. When I was able to get back into the wallet, all of my BTC (42k worth) was gone. No explanations, or anyone who can help. Spoke to the security director, and he asked me for my seed phrase several times. Asked to speak to a manager and he disconnected the call!

Prior_Parsley3960

I have said it time and time again. For most people (even crypto people), Fidelity BTC is their best option. \*very few are equipped for self custody given current conditions Fidelity has been in crypto for a long time and is one of our largest institutions. If they fail, we have much larger problems to deal with

DontLook_Weirdo

No sarcasm.. but you said it st the very beginning - "*very new to memecoin trading*" You didn't trade meme, you gamble. In crypto, you trade utility, gamble meme, hold BTC & ETH. When you gamble meme, you're looking for a good/strong meme, a good easy name, liquidity with less than 10% of the supply being held by the Dev team. Exit when it's mooning, don't hold for the top. And most importantly, only gamble what you're willing to lose.

RockHardTen11

I hope you are debt free now. Thats the best scenario for anyone to be i.e. debt free. Once you are, stack them BTC and dont worry about it after that.

If Satoshi sells his BTC

feltusen

Lightning doesn't eliminate Bitcoin's limitations. It moves them into a more complicated system. You can have plenty of BTC and still be unable to make a payment because there's no sufficiently liquid route to the recipient. Then you need channels, inbound liquidity, rebalancing, routing, LSPs and constant liquidity management. So much for "just send Bitcoin instantly to anyone." It's fast when the plumbing happens to be there. **The plumbing is the problem.**

JimmySki6166

If you purchased BTC at 250-300, I’ll give you 2k for each one! Will be a great profit for you 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

iloverunning11

That’s utter nonsense. Bitcoin is worthless if we consider solely real value. On the other hand most assets hold real value because they help satisfy humans’ essential needs be it food shelter etc. BTC is a novelty but without speculators its market cap would be smaller than AnF market cap

lathiat

Yeah, this is a real risk with these. I purchased one of these way back in maybe 2013? I forget the name, was different to yours. BTC was like $50 or something at the time Somehow I sadly lost the physical card. I can only assume someone nabbed it from me, though I don't have the public key to see if the BTC is still on it! Was "only" 1 BTC.

So the loser in the picture invested $600 in BTC in 2011 and then didn’t work for 6 years? What the gell is this comic even supposed to mean? He still sold for a profit and got to enjoy a car he couldn’t afford otherwise. When you invest you learn never to look back after selling for a profit.

bitusher

Nonsense . BIP110 failed to convince most people as it was flawed Here is a breakdown of the power dynamics in bitcoin when it comes to the rules of the protocol. Ultimately economic users hold the most value and determine the immediate outcome in a Hard fork split. **Miners** have invested a lot in infrastructure , but have tight margins and typically have electrical and rental contracts where they cannot afford to mine coins that are unprofitable for long due to the community rejecting it. **exchanges** Have a lot of influence upon the naming of tokens or at least their ticker and act as somewhat of a large investor. This is another reason among many that we advise you to store your BTC yourself because we want users to be in control and not large centralized exchanges. They can also help predict an outcome of a split with future trading pairs. **Merchants and payment processors** give legitimacy to a chain , increase its network effect and influence more users to use that chain in the long term **Developers, specialists and Oracles** They cannot force code upon the users and since nodes don't self update economic users can reject their proposals with as little as inaction. These people indirectly influence economic users indirectly because the whole ecosystem depends upon them for security fixes and updates. Many developers are extremely large stakeholders due to being involved in Bitcoin since 2010 and 2011. **economic Users** have the most control. Ones that validate the rules with a full node cannot be coerced into new rules even with 100% of hashpower deciding upon something. Since miners have such high overhead they will typically quickly follow the lead of these users because they buy their product and it is quite costly to ignore their wishes. Not all economic users are equal however and there are different types of economic users. 1) **Spenders** tend to use bitcoin for its utility and buy it just to spend instead of long term investment. These cannot influence HF split outcomes much because they typically do not have many BTC at any given time thus aren't awarded many BTC split tokens to wield their influence with 2) **Hodlers / Investors** These individuals have a great power since they are given both sides of the coin in HF they can quickly determine the outcome in a speculation war . These people tend to be conservative IMHO with scaling as they have greatly profited from the years of stability and have a lot to risk by any proposal that damages bitcoins key characteristics or security. With every passing year the amount of large whales will drop and BTC will become more evenly distributed. In reality we want bitcoiners to be both spenders and investors and there is a spectrum in the two above with how much one fits in each category

No-Masterpiece2246

For uncensored free speech there is 4chan etc. Nobody looks at the BTC blockchain for messages. Bitcoin wasn't created for the 3rd world, and by now the 3rd world can't use it anyway, the fees are too high. Bitcoin is Peer to Peer Digital Payment Network, read the whitepaper. This uncensorable speech nonsense was shoehorned into the narrative by rBitcoin Maximalists, don't listen to it.

Any_Context1

Not really. I’d say handing over literal cash is easier. Yes, cash derives value from a gov entity, but BTC derives value from the market, which is dominated by a handful of big exchanges. And the vast majority of BTC holders aren’t doing P2P.

Tcash9

If you have at least 1 BTC (definitely if you have more) do Multisig with a service like casa.io where you can use your Ledger as one hardware key👍

There is a true story that when BTC first came out, a man ordered pizza to be delivered. He tipped the delivery person 2 BTC! One expensive pizza!!

dasysk

Repeat after me: software nodes are not economical nodes. Some dude with 0.01 BTC can run 500 software nodes in his basement, while a single software node can represent 100,000 BTC (eg. an exchange or large business representing large transaction volume and thousands of people). Software nodes are basically meaningless to judge community or economical support. The truth is BIP110 never had community support outside a tiny minority of poorly informed plebs. BIP110 didn't even actually solve the problem it set out to solve. It just made spam slightly more expensive and impossible to prune. A problem which is actually not even a problem. Bitcoin has had data transactions for 15+ years and is doing just fine. Please stop getting your information from delusional and disingenuous people like Luke.

No-Masterpiece2246

No-Masterpiece2246

But literally every other blockchain has 100x more block space than BTC. So BTC is precisely the worst for messages. And precisely the opposite of what Satoshi said is the purpose of Bitcoin. Furthermore there are things like IPFS and immutable social media blockchains that excel at storing data. Whoever fed you this crap about messages on BTC is a Maxi retard. They're just trying to keep the BTC fees high when hardly anyone is using it. I suppose you like ordinals and rare sats too? It's for dummies.

marcusmv3

Go look at the BCH/BTC chart and cry

BTCGlobeLive

Yes, it's possible, and I ran it. The answer isn't what you're hoping for, but I think it's more interesting. I pulled every output at the burn address and filtered to your two windows. **14 July** (blocks 957,922 to 958,076): 137 outputs, **0.0445 BTC** total. **28-29 July** (blocks 959,902 to 960,172): 589 outputs, **0.15321171 BTC** total. So 726 transactions across both avalanches, adding up to **0.1977 BTC**. Not 100. Under a fifth of one coin. Here's the part worth knowing. I decoded the OP_RETURN of all 726 of them, and 724 start with the exact same three bytes: `X2[`. That's `0x58 0x32 0x5b`, which is the Stacks 2.0 magic prefix — someone else in this thread spotted that too. The remaining 2 have no OP_RETURN at all and are dust. That's not a person. It's the Stacks proof-of-transfer protocol doing automated commits, and those consistent 20k/30k/40k sats amounts you noticed are the mining bids, not donations. The "avalanches" are just periods when the Stacks chain was busy. The rest of the payload after those three bytes is binary consensus data, which is why it looks like garbage when you try to read it as text. So the German message and these hundreds of transactions are two completely unrelated things that happen to share an address. That one was 546 sats and a sentence. These are a robot paying its own bills. If you want to check any single one yourself: bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction <txid> 1 Look at the `vout` entry with type `nulldata`, and read the first three bytes of the hex. `58325b` means Stacks, and you can stop reading there.

DangerHighVoltage111

Only an ignorant person or a person only interested in price would say that. Obviously BTC is much more visible since it got the branding but BCH attracts people and builders and it builds the base for a worldwide p2p cash system, while BTC infights over Apes on chain and doesn't scale a single bit. >Until then, it's all moot, isn't it. Yes, but don't cry when you are late.

dmsrt

Good question. The 5 BTC was accumulated over time with the idea of paying debt with the gains along the way, which happened. It’s the wanting to make it back after repaying the debts that caught me.

DangerHighVoltage111

Dude you lost. I gave you the option to drop this braindead take and you missed it. If you go by adoption than go back into the warm, convenient lap of the dollar, because this adoption dwarfs BTC and BCH. But we are here for sound p2p cash and only BCH provides that. So we do what Bitcoin already did once: Start from low adoption and grow it. What good is BTCs "adoption" if it is only about holding and selling it later for, maybe, more dollars. It's the anti-thesis to Bitcoin.

DangerHighVoltage111

Dude, I literally sent you the prove. Forks don't create new chains, they create forks or branches. >Fork(s). Hundreds of them. I appreciate your concession that your preferred and arguably irrelevant fork obviously isn't the same as the original. You know I'm talking about BTC. Segwit, taproot and all that shit where not in the original chain. >So we'll agree to disagree that bitcoin cash is the True Successor to satoshi's vision It is one successor and objectively the one keeping closest to Satoshis idea of Bitcoin as a p2p cash system. >. Imo you failed to make a compelling case Nope, you are just a very dishonest conversational partner

Ok_Entrepreneur_dbl

I too did the same bought BTC and then took profits and with it bought more crypto . The difference for me was it was new and as my portfolio dropped and my stocks were taking off, I sold all crypto and bought stock. Never too late to reboot!

chona_Yu

Can't argue with the Cramer indicator. But the quantum part is still worth paying attention to, regardless of what BTC does next. I've seen a few projects already working on this, and QVM is one of the more solid approaches I've come across.

RockHardTen11

If you had money to accumulate 5 BTC, then why didn't you use that money to pay debt first? Then you could have accumulated thereafter.

anonymousopsec1337

If you’re closing your business and having liquidity problems you probably shouldn’t be DCA into a speculative asset. My btc is < 5% of my portfolio. I will probably keep it under 3%. I keep more in cash than that. I do BTC/cash/metals instead of buying bonds. This way my stocks are 99% growth and riskier.

magma_lakes

Mullvad VPN. BTC + BCH + XMR + Lightning

DangerHighVoltage111

That's why Bitcoin Cash. It's the coin Satoshi started, it has the potential to rally everyone around a second push for p2p cash after BTC got hijacked.

Overwatch_1ightning

Dude I mined 5 BTC or something when I was a kid on my PC. Ended up wiping it several times for video game space. This shit has happened and will happen over and over. That's the thing about volatile assets, no one knows shit about shit and anyone who says they do are either scamming you or just talking shit.

No-Masterpiece2246

lol makes no sense. If BTC blockchain is to be used for messages, the blocks should be bigger.

your_unpaid_bills

No. Each fork retains its total supply. For instance, when the BCH fork happened, people who had X BTC prior to it ended up with X BTC on one side and X BCH on the other side of the fork. The new BCH could be accessed (and transferred/sold) using the same private keys, independently since it lived on a new blockchain (and, as a matter of fact, many/most people eventually sold their BCH). Of course, this is only possible as long as the other chain hasn't died off already, cause in order to transfer the coins that live on the forked chain, it needs to be actively mining blocks (and there must be someome wanting to buy those coins, clearly).

No-Masterpiece2246

They probably should've changed the difficulty adjustment algorithm. This was all just an exercise. BTC price went up. I guess confidence increased as the fork neared. And maybe Iran bought more BTC, lol.

No-Masterpiece2246

Two wrongs don't make a right. Taproot is utter shit to begin with, as is every other new Core "feature" for the past 5 year. Enabling tracking of BTC outputs is not a feature most people want. Covenants could be cool but nobody will use them. Tiny blocks are retarded to begin with and Segwit is 20k lines of technical debt shitcode. Lightning nodes getting haxxed left and right. So yeah. Keeping Core on their toes is exactly what happened. There are other devs who can change the course of BTC development. Toothless Luke is obviously a terrible example, but the point was made.

MF_Price

We're not talking about just cold storage mishaps, all BTC lost from self custody. Your list only added up to a little over 1.1M BTC. Even the low estimates of self custody losses are 1.5M.

abitofcoinOTC

There is a persistent customer service issue with financial institutions, especially in cryptocurrency, that goes beyond actual regulations. There is a lot of activity that just isn't serviceable on exchanges anymore. If you're using cryptocurrency as actual currency, for example, you're almost guaranteed to get your accounts closed due to blockchain analysis. All it takes is someone who buys the alpaca socks you're selling to pay you with BTC with a 5% taint from a mixer, and bam, you're permanently banned from Coinbase. It's a big issue, actually, that using bitcoin how it was intended to be used will almost certainly eventually get you barred from most of the major exchanges.

abitofcoinOTC

Exchanges want you to leave your money there because they get to continue making money off of you. Every time you buy or sell, any time you use any of the interest-earning features, and it also increases the value of their company generally when they have more assets on the platform. Both deposits and withdrawals are operationally expensive for the exchange. Users who send money or crypto to an exchange, trade it, and then withdraw are at far greater risk of having their accounts closed compared to a user who just leaves their money there. Users who deposit and withdraw without trading at all will almost certainly have their account closed at some point. None of this suggests they are running a Ponzi; it's just the business model of the exchanges. If they charged users 1% for deposits and withdrawals (some major exchanges, like BTC-e, have charged users in the past for deposits and withdrawals), this might change how they're earning revenue.

Most people loose money when trading. I advise you to start studying BTC and DCA monthly, it is not late for you to succeed. Just bitcoin, forget the shitcoins.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

No, BTC hit its last ATH after the halving. Exactly in Q4 of 2025. So yea, once again proving cycles have continued to follow the same pattern.

Hey man, aren't stocks pretty much always at ATHs? You could have made the statement "stocks are at ATHs" pretty much any time like last 10-15 years. I have both stocks, etfs and crypto. (plenty of XLM too, but I'll still shill BTC and diversification)

Blue pill, even if I couldn’t buy any BTC. Imagine how much you could make on sports betting

I held from 2021 to 2024 while being down 50-60% for a couple of years and today at the alleged bottom of the bear market I'm still plenty in profit. (BTC can drop even more, I don't care). Hopefully if you're at least holding some of the top 20 cryptos and not some random shit, you should probably be fine when BTC starts going up again.
