BTC

I feel so much more calm with BTC at 80k. Idk why

QtheCuntinuous

Is this a joke post? If not? I have two serious questions: 1) why did you genuinely think "President Dump" was supposed to be INCREDIBLY good for your portfolio? 2) why do you obsessively follow prices every day? If you're not actually making moves while following the prices, then normal market fluctuations will not drastically affect you in the long term. BTC will recover, as it always has in the past. And when it does, the altcoin market should follow. So unless you've invested all of your savings into some shitcoins, you should have nothing to worry about. Just zoom out on your charts. One week, one month, quarterly, and yearly is what you should be watching. Stay off the hourly and minute charts unless you are ready to buy or sell. It'll save you a lot of headache.

I don't think we've had a bull run. I also think BTC 140k by Xmas.

Notrustjustverify

Try taking $100000 of gold through an airport compared to bitcoin. Not hating on gold I own that too, but BTC is superior when it comes to overall function.

joegageeyes

Bitcoin is not digital gold lol. Look at what Gold is doing right now in uncertain times, versus Bitcoin. BTC is a super derivative for the stock market

HorsedickGoldstein

I’ll bet you $10,000 BTC doesn’t close under 80k by the end of the year. Just to prove you have no fucking clue what’s going on

Embarrassed-Cow-5485

which platform you use in EUR zone to purchase BTC regularly?

Silasurf

That’s a decent strategy my friend. One important thing is. As you DCA your UTXO fees will become relatively pricey. But not an issue. Simply wait for a bear market when the fees are low and do som UTXO pruning (UTXO management) But honestly if you wanna retire early, when the Bear market comes, do not hesitate. Accumulate as much as possible. I am only in BTC heavily today because of the last 3 bear markets. It has really changed my life big time. Im 29 and retired at 27… Well, im not retired because i run 4 companies. But I could retire if I wanted to. We are still so early.

FnAardvark

Wow, a random tweet with no sources again. Let me translate this tweet for everyone "I'm extremely long on either BTC or MSTR or both, and I'm panicking" Ignore the noise.

kulikitaka

My god, BTC price has been crabbing the same for the last 2 hours!

FreeBoss2824

Trezor 3 is solid for basic BTC storage, the 5 is mainly a nicer touchscreen and a few extra features you probably don't need if you're just hodling. Ledger Nano X is the other main option, though some people don't love their closed-source secure element. Coldcard is the Bitcoin purist choice if you want air-gapped signing. Honestly any of these work fine but the real question is how you're backing up your seed phrase, because the hardware wallet can be replaced but those 24 words can't Check out UnoLock mate, quantum-resistant encryption, built-in inheritance planning, anti-coercion duress vaults, and everything's locked down with client-side encryption. Most people don't realize that standard ECDSA (what Bitcoin uses) is vulnerable to quantum attacks, so when quantum computers hit sufficient scale, any exposed public key becomes a target. Full disclosure: I'm associated with UnoLock, but genuinely it's one of the only cold like wallet solutions that solves today's problems.

BTC can't fall below its mining cost — that's the ultimate price floor.

They first should STUDY bitcoin rather than mindlessly “buying it”. Cause if you study I would not have to explain this honestly, but here you go: First of all, You are not actually buying bitcoin in an exchange. You are buying the promise of bitcoin. The seedphrase (private keys) are owned by the exchanges and they centralize all the power over your Bitcoin. Much like an ETF but at least an ETF you are legally entitled. With exchanges there is no law backing you. They could steal you and it’s your fault. Second, as clearly stated in the Bitcoin white paper (BTC bible), “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” It is an electronic cash to be transacted via peer to peer methods. Either good old I sell you buy informally and vice versa. Or formally through an official service. That includes services like hodlhodl, alfredp2p.io, paxful, robosats and etc… there are many p2p exchanges in the market today, just do your own research on them. Third, centralized exchanges are CANCER to bitcoin, i cannot stress that enough, when you buy in Coinbase, or Binance you are doing the opposite of what Bitcoin intends to do in the first place. Bitcoin is about DECENTRALIZING the financial monetary system. Does that make sense? I hope you take the time to fully understand the subtle differences of OWNING BTC and paying an exchange to own BTC for you (on your behalf)…

Blade_Runner_69

Oh really? This must be the 1000000000th time BTC has died. Rip 😭🙏🏾 /s

glasser999

Then you should maybe get more familiar with the BTC ecosystem? Like commenting on the Apple sub that you've never heard of an iPhone. Or phrase it differently. You could *ask* about MSTR, or, you know..google it?

crazybird-thereal

Too damn technical for me, enlight me : \- JPmorgan try to earn money by betting BTC price will fall ? \- How do you earn money when such situation happend ? \- How do you counter them ?

Get a consumer loan and don't sell your BTC. You just need 3k, it's not a big amount.

I'm down $26,000 this month on BTC. Couldn't care less. People need to zoom out or stop gambling short term.

L00PYLL0YD

It is not, but people whine about being $100-200 down and realistically, the real holders of BTC or any crypto or proxy of such, will need to stomach being down on their investment. I am around £3000 down now on MSTR..... Still not phased.

Post is by: Firm_Ad8062 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1p5crzf/problem_with_btc_transfer_being_held_in_robinhood/ Problem with BTC transfer being held in Robinhood, have to transfer to COINBASE. I'm having some problems with my Bitcoin regarding Robinhood. I used Robinhood to buy the bitcoin, transferred it to Roobet (which is a gambling website) to bet on it. Won a bit and transferred all of the Bitcoins back to my Robinhood wallet.  They asked me for my address, ID, etc, and I provided everything. After that, I got an email that said:  || || |Your BTC transfer is on hold| || || |Your incoming 0.0496971 BTC transfer is on hold.  Contact Support so we can review the details of the transfer with you.| The Live Support wasn't open on the weekend, so I waited until Monday to chat with them. In the chat, they said that the deposit has to be sent back to a NON-Robinhood BTC wallet, since I had problems regarding "transfer of fund regulation", but couldn't tell me why or what.  In the end, I gave them my Coinbase Bitcoin wallet, and they said that IF they can process the return, it can take up to 10 days, and that I won't get any kind of confirmation if it has been sent, and instead have to check up with Robinhood.  I asked beforehand if they accepted transfer to a Coinbase wallet, and they said yes.  I am just a little bit stressed since I am pretty new to all this, and it feels a bit sketchy. Will i get my funds? What is going on? Has anybody else experienced something like this and know what the outcome might be? Also, i was wondering if I get the funds to my Coinbase wallet, is it possible for me to deposit the BTC back to the Robinhood wallet to sell it there instead? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Also to update you all.. during this 1.5 months, I have invested (DCA+spot trade) 45k USD, still have 12k USDC to ride through the fear market. CMC now is 10, meaning extreme fear and I see the price already bottoms at 80K and today it bounced back to 87K. We are still in cycle 4, past 1 month is NOT bear market, but a mid term trap. I think ATH will be around Q1 2026 at 150-180K follow by 1 year bear market till EOY 2026 This is definitely not financial advise, the reason I could invest so heavily is because I want BTC to take up a certain percentage of my portfolio. Even now am not there yet. So portfolio rebalancing is more prudent than go all in

Background_Fruit_895

I am using https://alert.cryptobeats.fun. It’s clean and the probably the only app/site available that would call you multiple times for a price target, so that you never miss it. Saved me from the recent BTC drop that hits 85k

DrSpeckles

The good thing about this post is it describes the use case, without a pre decided idea of what that technology should be. Bitcoin - unlikely. Blockchain, who knows. There are many ways to achieve this, with existing but faster technologies. No reason whatsoever it would be BTC. And definitely won’t take 50 years.

Zdendon

Leveraged trading. People open short position which is like reverse buy. When BTC goes up they are loosing money. (Not until they close position ofc) Since it's leveraged - for example you have 1000usd - when you open leveraged position let's say 10x, you can long/short ten times the value you actually have - 10000usd. When btc goes up or down and your 1000usd is not enough to cover the difference of price your position is force closed leaving you with nothing.

Ok_Description_

Fast forward 12 years and he's on the edge of going bankrupt if BTC doesn't start moving back up 😅. Should have took his own advice by the looks of it

Commercial-Shape5561

BTC’s importance is not just as a settlement layer. It’s as a unit of account that is beyond anyone’s control. If the settlement layer you described came into existence, it would be settling the same dogshit fiat currencies that will continue to be printed into the ground. Or, if it was a new permissionless blockchain with its own coin/token, it would suffer from the same problem as ethereum: it would be younger than BTC and thus would be fundamentally unable to ever catch up to BTC’s distribution. ETH will always be several market cycles behind BTC in terms of distribution. The settlement layer you are describing is, in essence, ethereum. And we have all seen how that’s been going relative to bitcoin.

DigitaICriminal

There were **two famous “oh sh\*t” moments** in Bitcoin’s early history where the chain either broke or effectively had to be rolled back: 1. **The 184 billion BTC “value overflow” bug (August 15, 2010)** 2. **The BerkeleyDB / LevelDB fork (March 11–12, 2013)** # You guys got a lot to learn.

Well. Assuming you are in the United States, if you need extra cash right now, it’s after market hours, and it’s the weekend. BTC is the easiest for fast cash.  You can sell it to a friend, and have cash within seconds, or you can sell it on an exchange 24/7 and have the money in a bank account in a reasonable amount of time, if you need money fast, bitcoin is the logical choice.  With google you need to wait for market hours, sell, wait for the cash to settle, and then transfer it to your bank account, it may take a week to actually get the two thousand. 

fugit185fi

It seems that BTC is rising, at least if you look photo more careful 😎

FromtheBigO

Are these BTC ETFs (for actual BTC not shitcoins) actually worth investing in?

Least_Treat3832

Absolutely agree. Not an expert, but the market is in trouble, not bc of AI bubble, but bc of the economy. Markets run on sentiment alone, point blank. If people have no faith in the market and actually tangible companies, they have even less in crypto. People are afraid of AI as much as people have lost faith in government and the economy and there’s so many huge indicators showing that. When people are afraid of the economy and government the market crashes, it has nothing to do with fundamentals and earnings of a company at all, just public sentiment. Feb 21st not a single thing about a company changed, just the public’s opinion and the market took a big dip fast… every company was exactly the same, but that stuff doesn’t mean a thing when people feel hopeless about the economy. Spring was 1 catalyst, we have 2 dozen building. -Potential war -Tariffs -Inflation -Bad job reports -Talk of impeachment again -Government infighting to the point the president is saying senators actions should be punishable by death -OpenAI bad reports -Healthcare premiums rising by 3x -20 million losing Medicaid that won’t replace it bc history shows us they don’t & use the ER for emergencies. The millions of jobs and trillions of dollars created and made to take care of those 20 million Medicaid recipients is going away. -Longest shit down in history that’s only paused for a little over a month -CEOs of healthcare companies and political activists being assassinated -Podcasters that distrust government, politicians, and their economy just became the largest in the world… which shows where most ppls minds are -Fear of an AI bubble -Average Americans cannot afford basic needs, especially starting next month due to changes in healthcare. These are millions of workers that pay into the market and retirement that no longer can use all excess money for that or for buying wants that help companies…. It’s bad. This is isn’t spring and not a panic sell. People are hopeless at the moment and have lost all faith. The market drops and BTC definitely does in my opinion. But hey I’m no expert as I said already, just observing the actual world and economy we live in and listing events that have happened the past few months… good luck to all.

your_unpaid_bills

> Every cycle has that moment where the overlooked, under-the-radar coins suddenly wake up, and it usually hints that broader sentiment is shifting from pure speculation to actual value hunting. No, it typically means that the market is bored with the little or negative price action with BTC and large-cap alts, so it starts looking for new narrative slots. This time the narrative is "privacy & old-school projects". Old coins with very little liquidity like ERG (which yes, is a wonderful project, but also essentially dead) are easy targets, because easily pumped and dumped. > Not saying it’s guaranteed moon time or anything, but if this really were the end of the cycle, you wouldn’t see this kind of across-the-board strength in coins that haven’t had attention in months. It looks way more like the early part of a proper alt rotation than the late-stage blowoff some people are calling. In my opinion, the real mania hasn’t even started yet. In reality, this is precisely an end-of-cycle dynamics. We will be seeing many coins randomly pumping and then dumping over the next weeks/months as BTC trades sideways, but in a slow downtrend. Some people will make money from this, as it always happens, but most people will get burned chasing pumps.

yunghogungho

Quoting Munger in regard to holding crypto is funny. I only add to BTC and SOL personally, not sell

Ok-Brilliant-5498

I got a QUESTION if anyone is willing to HELP… I bought bitcoin when it was $500CDN and I have .07859BTC in a wallet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make more of it? Or should I cash out when price goes back up to where it was like $120K+ or hold it for years?… is it worth cashing out if it goes back to highs and wait for another huge dip?… There’s no need for rudeness, I’m not here to have a Reddit WAR, I just want to know what’s best. Thx 🙏… Ciao 

Meisterleder1

If BTC went to 101k all these shorts were covered already, so there's no "even more". Also, this is hopium. 0,5% of marketcap is nothing.

might_not_beam_me

Bitcoin is going 70-80% of ATH, which is around 35 to 40K. Sell now for 4000. use the frist 2000 for what ever it is. Put in the rest 2000 when BTC nears 45K. You will have 4x in 2028.

MundaneSoftware6510

Buy $500.00 of each and see what happens in ten years. You won’t remember the $500.00 you lost ten years ago in a promising but obscure crypto but you WILL remember the one that popped. $500 in BTC in November 2009 is $45billion today.

MundaneSoftware6510

As the market matures and barring game changing events like quantum computing, the days of extreme returns will be over. It will be slow and steady gains. However, we are not quite there yet. There is still room for some rapid growth. Especially in light of QC. Just as a hedge, I put $500.00 into ALGO. If you do the calculations from way back in 2009-2010, that about of money would have turned into hundred of millions today. ALGO is “supposed” to be QC proof. At least that’s what I am hearing. So why not bet on that as a long shot? I did the same with Cardano. Just on the noise I was hearing. Most likely it will go nowhere but if it overcomes its manifest problems then it too can explode. I dumped much much larger amount of money into SOL. Why? Because one can tell how mature a market is becoming by who jumps in. With the five or six new SOL ETF’s achieving some huge inflows in very large chunks, that tells me that there is institutional adoption. The western union deal is another indicator. Could this be massive market manipulation? Yep… but I’m betting on the fundamentals. And the fundamentals for SOL are solid. You can take long shot risks. Just don’t bet the farm on them. Think about BTC and what $500us dropped into it in 2010 would be today. Take a couple of these risks. Then find an alt coin you can get behind with better chances and more upside. All of this being done with no more than 10-20% of your portfolio. The rest keep safe and let it grow slow. Rome wasn’t built in a day. However in 2,000 years of history it had some HUGE jumps. Get in on the ground floor. Let it ride and you might get lucky.

Seeing this meme with $BTC @ >$80,000. $BTC has come a long way

Teamduncan021

BTC strength is not because it's super fast. Some of the current payment channels are theoretically faster.  BTC has fees. No fees is not it's strength.  Kyc is exactly why people prefer crypto.  Consortium of big banks is exactly why BTC has value. BTC is a gold with money flow capabilities. Not other way around. It's not a payment channel with gold like properties. 

Arabing

I locked a good profit, no regrets.I know there’s a chance BTC go back to $110,000 levels and maybe reach a new ATH before the actual bear start, but I also know that we are gonna get some good discounts and I need dry powder for the 45k-55k levels! Am I trippin? Maybe.

Keziito

For those with an IQ below 90, BTC is backed by the same US Dollar.

watch-nerd

Took profits Nov 24 to Jan 25, sold about half of position. Still in the green, average BTC price is 45k.

InternalManner230

When you use your credit card, it's no physical currency. BTC is super inconvenient to use due to long transaction durations. And the reasoning behind your last sentence (yet very common among crypto fans) is flawed. It's like buying plastic Visa cards when you think Visa transactions are the future. Just two different things.

Innodiablo

If you zoom out and look at BTC, it’s pretty clear the 4 year cycle is a thing. For alts seemingly not….

Bitter-Entrance1126

Always have extra funds. The money invested in BTC shouldn't be one you need in a near time

stellarfirefly

If you *must* sell one, then sell the GOOG. It is near its local top, while BTC is near its 6-month low. But if at all possible, borrow against your BTC.

dreamingfighter

What do you mean? Stablecoin is a representative use case of altcoins, which people can use to transfer money to anywhere worldwide instantly and with little fee. Say all you want about BTC, it just cannot accomodate that use case (transaction time is longer, fee is higher). Smart contract is another use case. I can agree that most altcoins are trashed, built to take advantages of the greedy but uninformed people. But altcoins have their very important use cases and will stay relevant because of that. It was your fault for not doing the evaluation to see what price is reasonable for one particular coin. It was also your fault to buy at the very top thinking it will go up. In that regard, coins are very similar to stocks on advanced markets.

It’s a mix if high privacy, decentralisation and programmability. There are only a handful of PoW coins out there, Bitcoin being one of them, but they each serve a different purpose and have pros and cons. Coins like BTC lack privacy, are slow and outdated, and can’t accommodate for dApps and smart contracts well, same with most other PoW coins. PoW is fundamentally stronger than PoS both in transaction verification, and achieving true decentralisation. But Ergo offers basically mix between Eth and BTC while staying true to the idea of decentralisation. On top of that you can have optional privacy which other PoW are specialised in like XMR. Fees are also low on Erg which is a massive bonus. Rosenbridge, literally bypasses needing the use for CEXs, which is a major reason why these main coins get so corrupted by VCs and market manipulators. There’s a lot more to it, and I’m not an expert like some others, but the tech is really impressive and novel. Just because there are a lot of other cryptocurrencies, don’t let that discourage you from searching for coins that are helping to expand the tech and build on the crypto ecosystem. Even though YOU might not care about the tech now, the reason why BTC is here in the first place is due to that tech, and the philosophy of it.

whathiron

Yeah that’s true I guess. For me I do all my BTC buying/selling (well, rarely if ever selling) on an exchange so my transactions are all easily tracked, then move it to my cold wallet. I figure the gains will be easy enough once all the numbers are added up. lol, or maybe for the accountant at least 😄

FromtheBigO

What else do you suggest to be an a successful portfolio if you don’t mind me asking? I fully believe in BTC, and I am not going to stop DCA’ing any time soon. But I also wanna play both sides, and get myself into mainly ETF/mutual funds, etc. but basically something going to bitcoin and then also something going into a diversified portfolio working with NYSE.

BQbaobao

Thought it was based on closing CME BTC1! On Friday evening compared to where it opens Monday? Which in itself confuses me because I thought CME futures open Sunday night. Can’t ever find a clear explanation of how people are calculating it and happy to be enlightened.

nezeta

WTF. Gold's market cap is 16x that of BTC. It sounds like BTC has been underrated lately.

117Reclaimer

Thank God the Burgers pumped BTC from 80K to 88K after crashing it to 80K from 126K /s

namieorange

There arw plenty of quantum resistant coins. Many more will be ready soon. BTC receiving an attack will kill the whole market, it is irrelevant who can resist or not. Nobody cares about other coins, they're just byproducts of BTC movements, and that's coming from someone heavy in alts

holyknight00

you are just proposing swift with extra steps, the whole purpose of bitcoin is to not rely on external third parties for transactions. It would have nothing to do with BTC, at all.

callmebatman14

I bought plenty of shit in 2018 that never recovered. I should've bought BTC instead

callmebatman14

Did BTC reach 1k in 2013?

CyberCrud

Too much institutional money in BTC now for that kind of drop.  Maybe sub $70k.  I could see $62k bottom.  Maybe $59k.

Notrustjustverify

My main account is private, I don’t share it with jerks.  And yes I live on the BTC standard unless government slaves like you.

Equivalent-Bear8030

Not a dead cat. If you zoom out a bit, BTC already showed its warning wick into the low 90Ks before the real dip into the 80K range. That was the liquidity grab. Structurally we never lost the higher-timeframe trend. OI didn’t nuke because smart money wasn’t positioned for a breakdown. This looks more like a classic sweep + reset before the next leg up, not exhaustion. BTC’s next meaningful move is still upward unless we start closing below the mid-80s

Putrid_Fruit4606

I think they will sell BTC

Enochian-Dreams

BTC is back up to 90k from 80k. What “melting”? Yeah that’s why you DCA and don’t trade on emotion. This is one of the first things people learn in terms of investing versus gambling. If you aren’t automating, you’re not even serious.

ScaleWithPiyush

For me BTC’s swings are normal; emotional decisions usually cost more than volatility itself.

energetic_one

It's a DeFi loan. There are crypto platforms that are set up for DeFi. Bitcoin secures the loan. You get the money to use for your needs and you pay it back when you desire to. There is no interest. It's not a normal loan. I'm pretty sure you need to wrap the BTC before borrowing against it. You keep your BTC, and get the money you need to use. If you do not pay back the loan, you lose the BTC that secured it. The wealthy do borrow against their assets allowing them to hold their positions and have liquidity at the same time.

energetic_one

Bank is not involved. DeFi operation, you borrow and use your BTC as collateral. I've not done it x so can't explain it well. Look up Bitcoin DeFi loan.

Broken11979

Agreed, why not show the chart from 2011 to 2025 ,how BTC has outpaced the S&P 500.

Mysterious_Crab_7622

Nah, the writing is on the wall this time. Economy is going to shit and BTC will crash before the economy does because people will sell to pay for food and rent.

el_rico_pavo_real

Remember, they don’t want you to hold BTC. They want to shake you out.

Street_Outside_7228

If it implies no volatility, BTC will still outperform it in terms of value gained.

devCheckingIn

>with diminishing returns comes diminishing losses In theory. But if a lot of OG whales unloaded BTC and the people invested through ETFs bail out because they don't like their returns and all these treasury companies go tits up, it's possible it could be quite the drawdown. One could argue the drawdown % would be the same, but we're coming down from a much lower high (%-wise) vs other cycles.

ScaleWithPiyush

Putting €1M into BTC is a big swing, so the path depends on your appetite for custody risk vs. convenience. ETFs are simpler and regulated but add fees and middlemen; self-custody gives you full control but demands operational discipline. • If you value simplicity and institutional rails → ETF. If you value sovereignty and are willing to secure it properly → exchange → cold wallet.

Refuse_Kooky

BTC 'crashed' from 106k to 75k in the first trimester before hitting 126k in October. The surest way to deal with the fluctuations has been to hold.

Dark_Raiden_

You can take one positive out of this - we are seeing more and more signs that the 4y cycle theory is obsolete. (Broken timelines, broken expectations, ATH before halving, top into apathy instead of euphoria). While the 4y cyclists are expecting -70% because *checks clock*, they are ignoring the crucial fact that BTC is trading in a tighter range, and with diminishing returns comes diminishing losses.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

No you are not crazy, you are just an amateur and lack knowledge. Also don't open a discussion with "change my mind" because it's silly. That's not how it works dude. BTC's price isn't preprogrammed to follow a price pattern to make your ass rich. Halving IS preprogrammed and it does affect price, but there many other parameters that have a much bigger impact on price direction and every subsequent halving has less and less of an impact also. People thought that ALTS were preprogrammed to moon after BTC stabilized while on a bull because that's what happened after all previous cycles. Didn't really worked out for them.

Obvious-Oil1657

Do not underestimate humans appetite to launder money through BTC.

xTooGoDLy

I started buying ever since it dropped below 100k im not buying thousands a day but I gave my self a challenge that every time I get a notification that BTC has gone lower I buy $50 and if I check the app BTC is lower than even I check it last I deposit 20$ and buy more. I don’t even have 2k invested yet in BTC but I am going to beef up my investment the lower it goes

S&P500 most probably cannot reach 7,000 by year end because it will be lower than 6,300. BTC will be 65k n altcoins will be left with 10-30% value from previous ATH. Just hodl.

Some of worlds largest Pension Funds, and Black Rock, JPM, Vanguard have all invested in BTC ETFs, Microstrategy, this past year, I guess for once the "Smart Money" will be holding the bag? Or do they see where the Ball or Puck is going to be 10 years from now, when BTC is 2 million per coin....There is ONLY .002 BTC per person on the planet.....point , zero zero 2.....let that sink in.....getting it under 100k seems like a gift from God at this point....

I think BTC is still extremely undervalued IMO

I think the idea of crypto as being outside gov control driving its growth is flawed, in general ot is gaining legitimacy and this relies on policy support and vested interests of powerful people. its unfortunately how the world works. there are a lot of powerful people who have vested interests for crypto to be adopted, and there is a legitimate use case for crypto. BTC is a good bet goven its utility value in the crypto space as a store of value.

Tao: what are u talking about ? all fine here ; ) as usual, markets dump and everybody starts bitching (in any coin) about prices only because people do NOT understand the tech behind it. same with all altcoins (or even BTC), do your own homework, understand what u are investing in and WHY ! don’t listen to Social Media “influencers” (they are all just pumping their own bags)

I'm invested in BTC and want to see it go up, but until it can pass a resistance zone around 88.5k I won't celebrate anything.

It is actually $11 worth of BTC.

This. I love it when people act like BTC has some sort of technological edge compared to alts 🤣

This is probably the most sane comment I've read recently about BTC. Emotion is driving wayyyy to many bad decisions and fueling panic selling

While I'm sure long run it will go up, these kinda posts are hilarious. 11 months ago OP was posting about BTC for beginners and now they're an expert in price prediction. Too funny.

This is post is repeated in multiple subreddits... Software wallets are unsafe by nature, because the seed phrase (that they need to store and use, e.g. to calculate addresses and sign transactions) can be captured by malware. The only safe option is to use a so-called hardware wallet or hardware signer (like a ledger, trezor etc). Now, the front-end that is used with a hardware wallet does not matter much. Ledger offers one called ledher live (now called ledger wallet) that supports many cryptos, but does not have advanced features like other, more specialized ones (like Electrum or Sparrow for BTC, Rabby or Metamask for ETH and EVM compatible networks, rtc). It's a matter of personal.preferences.

U are wrong. Tons of people choose BTC over SP500 because they dont want to fund the military industrial complex, or big oil, or big ag, etc. Thats a protest
