BTC

bbrout

Way too early to tell; but BTC as a "safe" haven? The volume is still too low. However, there's a lot of BTC in storage. Nevertheless, a safe haven is the design feature. No one knows at this stage. Buckle up.

cashflashmil

BTC is still the main driver and risk barometer, it’ll show the direction. But a few alts will almost certainly outperform hard - just with way nastier drawdowns on the way. So the game is not guessing “which moon coin”, it’s managing size and timing so that one bad alt bet doesn’t blow up your whole stack

Historical-Olive-630

Probably my guess is the confirmation of the Pro Bitcoin Fed Chair might help and usually BTC does the opposite of what you think it will do.

partymsl

I am surprised Saylor didn't bribe his way to the FED chair, could have easily done it by purchasing TRUMP instead of BTC for one week.

CryptoCircle_

I believe that BTC will lead and guide as it has so far, but there will certainly be a few altcoins that will make a very big and profitable leap for some, but the risk is also commensurate with the gain.

Previous-Piano-6108

Few people on here like to talk about another option: DCA but keep reserves to buy more during the dips When BTC is at the ATH, DCA less and save for when it dips Or another option: only buy on red candles.

Yeah im done lol, kids just took any chance i had at eating, and can't get the 15kusd to get past mr.worldwides memecoins. If any of you actually care that i made you rich and wanna be private here is my BTC address 19MYqxiGHFDVcn2iT4e16K7JVnLRs7LR1w and obviously if you don't want to be private just reach out, can turn that 15k into 285-477m in 48 hours even with the kids.

I’m a big fan of BTC and own more than most but if you are looking for the fastest crypto for full final settlement I would say XRP. It’s sooo fast, if I send from my phone I can look at the ledger on my desktop and it’s done in 2 seconds. Fully done. I know most BTCers hate XRP but it’s fast.

spokesman74

BTC is still faster if you want to transfer huge (millions etc) amounts of money

Accomplished-Tap916

For larger amounts, you'll likely need to use a P2P exchange like Bisq. Once you have the BTC, running your own node and using a service like Qoest to monitor your wallet's incoming transactions can help you verify everything privately

Post is by: Responsible_Potato76 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/HodlyCrypto/comments/1rkra0p/bitcoin_surges_past_73k_what_this_means_for/ Bitcoin has officially reclaimed the $73,000 level today, March 4, 2026. As of now, BTC is trading around $73,200, up 7.2% in the last 24 hours. 24-hour trading volume has exploded to roughly $68-75 billion, pushing Bitcoin’s market cap above $1.46 trillion. Three clear forces right now: 1. Haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions, investors rotating into Bitcoin as “digital gold” while traditional markets remain under pressure. 2. Strong ETF inflows, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $458 million in net inflows on March 2 alone (the strongest recent daily figure), with BlackRock’s IBIT alone pulling in $263 million. This institutional buying pressure has been consistent and is clearly supporting the breakout. 3. Major banks joining the ETF race, JP Morgan Chase has stepped up big time, now offering direct access to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs through its J.P. Morgan Self-Directed Investing platform and significantly boosting its own holdings in spot Bitcoin ETFs (up 64% to $343 million in BlackRock’s IBIT alone in recent filings). Additional fuel came from \~$400 million in short liquidations over the past day, accelerating the move higher. Sudden +7% pumps can feel exciting, but they also test discipline. History shows these ETF-driven rallies, especially with big banks like JP Morgan getting more involved, often mark periods of accumulation. With thin order books above $73K (limited sell walls up to $80K in some analyses), momentum could continue, but volatility remains elevated. Despite today’s strong surge past $73K, there is still significant risk in the market. We are in a US midterm election year, and history shows these years are often extremely volatile and painful for Bitcoin, with major drawdowns in past cycles (2014, 2018, 2022). And yet… this year is the perfect year to accumulate Bitcoin. I know how heavy the uncertainty feels right now, the headlines screaming, the charts swinging, but this is exactly the kind of environment where patient holders quietly build life-changing positions. Stay calm. Accumulate wisely. Not financial advice. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Recent events in the Middle East have led people to buy BTC because it offers them freedom of movement. There were problems with many banks during those days.

dormango

How sure are you that this news is what has caused BTC price rises today?

Suguha_chan

Lucky to be early. Once BTC has established itself worldwide as a store of value used by everyone, we won't see those big pumps anymore, then it will really be just a store of value. Right now its a booster of value

drizzlead

coinbase is the obvious one but honestly? robinhood crypto. my non-crypto friends already had robinhood for stocks so adding BTC was literally just tapping a button. zero friction because they were already in the app

gorewndis

The people who actually kept their gains had one thing in common: they decided what "enough" looked like before the number hit. Most people treat crypto like a slot machine - they don't have a number, they just have a feeling. And feelings don't trigger sell orders. What I've noticed this cycle is that the smart money is way more boring than people expect. They're not chasing new L1s or memecoins. They're sitting in ETH and BTC, maybe some DeFi blue chips, and they have specific price targets written down somewhere. The discipline to sell into strength when everything feels like it'll go higher is genuinely the hardest skill in this space. Way harder than finding the right token.

dj_destroyer

Personally I think this is good for the United States but not overly great for Bitcoin or financial assets in general. The guy is incredibly hawkish and prefers higher interest rates and less QE. I know that BTC pumped on this news but not entirely sure why. Miran would have been better for Bitcoin, no doubt.

Gen_X15

Holding a bit of BTC w my wife. NF selling until 200k+ or new ATH. Super cycle engines are warming up.

andys811

I'm not sure if it will be the same in US as UK and there's a slight catch but with an imo easy work around. Trading212 offers a card that has both auto invest cashback and invest spare change (which is round up). It's a debit card and you receive 1.5% cashback. The catch is it only auto invests into shares not crypto, however you can set it to auto invest into a Bitcoin ETF, the ETF will track the price and then you can either just hold the ETF or after some time just sell the ETF and use the money to buy actual BTC. Credit card options are still a good choice however if you get more cashback from them, which isn't the case in the UK from what I've looked at. Not only do you get the cashback but you will also earn interest on the money you spend up until the due date, just make sure you pay off the full balance statement or it won't be worth it

BigA19900

Yes it’s enough to buy $15 worth of BTC every week.

Sharlach

No, but you could use wrapped(tokenized) BTC if you want to "hold btc" and use it with DeFi and smart contracts.

andys811

Objectively speaking it is worse to leave cashback on the table. Spending less of your own money upfront is irrelevant. With cashback if you spend less you still have that money to invest, if I make 3 payments today of £10.01, I can invest £2.97 at the end of the day as the round up, and I get an additional 15p on top, I use a 1.5% cashback debit card (I'm UK out credit cards suck for rewards). In your scenario that £10.01 3 times will cost you £33 and you will have £2.97 of BTC. In my scenario it will cost you £29.58 and you will have £0.45 of BTC if you invest cashback, you can then invest the round up at £2.97 costing you £32.55 instead of £33 and you will have £3.42 worth of BTC instead

No_Dog9530

But Reddit told me $50K BTC is a given we did not even come close to it. Looks like new ATH is on the way now.

Editor-Forward

That was an AI Satoshi that told you that; the real BTC CEO never promised such a discount

andys811

You have to pay for round up aswell what are you talking about? There is nothing you get from automated rounding up if you really wanted to you could do it manually on top of cashback, cashback on the other hand is actually free as it quite literally lowing your expense, meaning you have more money to put into BTC. It's not about getting as much cashback as you can it's about keeping more money after your expenses and investing the difference

KIG45

You are aiming for $80k to sell and you think others will too? I don't think so, I am not selling BTC.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin demand has surged, pushing its price to $71,600, driven by three key factors: Iranians moving BTC into self-custody amid conflict, AI agents favoring Bitcoin over fiat as a store of value, and a selloff in Asian markets redirecting capital into Bitcoin. This rare convergence of safe-haven demand, AI crypto adoption, and macroeconomic stress has resulted in a significant price breakout, with Bitcoin gaining 7.52% in 24 hours and reaching a market cap of $1.43 trillion. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Ok_Pipe6417

It's going both ways forever or until something new comes around.  BTC is rev0 digital asset. Lead is to bronze as bronze is to gold as BTC is to what? Interesting but lead is also toxic, as rev0 digital asset is BTC also toxic but in a digital way?  Why is it a store of value? It is said tne value comes from the energy to produce it. Is that it's toxicity? Should this energy be used for something else? Is this energy production toxic for the environment? Miners switching over to AI LLM? Will this acceleration of AI digital playgtound spell our doom and enslavement to a new digital overloard that will use our human bodies as batteries to feed it's existence? Hmm curious thought experiement. I mean considering BTC exists I would say any of this is on the table wouldn't you? Completely made up amdset now gaining mainstream attention, what a story you think?   What is the endgame here? This Satoshi fellow decided to liberate the common folks from the shackles of the infinite money printer? That was not his end game though? Where did that come from?  I wonder what BTCs true purpose is and when it will reveal itself and what it's toxicity will be? 

Key-Zombie-3749

Yeah if this is OPs preference then so be it but you literally cant argue against the logic we are employing here. I've had the RH Gold card for like a month and have already gotten $24 in "free" cashback that I have immediately invested into BTC.

Nice to see institutional money finally showing up on the BTC side. If Blackrock keeps buying, that could keep the price steady and maybe push it higher. Keep an eye on the volume spikessometimes those are the real signals.

Apprehensive-Mind112

You're right to be careful, a lot of stuff does dump at launch. Since we're in presale, volume isn't a factor yet, but real user activity is definitely there. We have 1,116 confirmed holders on the website right now. The vibe in the Solfart Nation is pretty diverse right now, our subreddit has some folks planning to flip profits into BTC, while others are diamond-handing it all the way to a $1B market cap. Come check out the sub and see the discussions for yourself.

synthwave_man

What if it hits 100k again, but then goes higher, and the bear doesn't come (before BTC makes a new ATH)? Then you will be sidelined and pissed that you sold too early.

AdrianHawk1220

You don't have to sell and instead use your BTC as collateral as high wealthy individuals do to avoid seling and the taxes that come with it.

andys811

Unless you also get cash back I don’t see the point, because cash back would always be bett and you can use the cash back to buy BTC

AlphaRed

Yep, and price creates the narrative anyways. Every cycle the most popular influencer’s prediction goes awry. Remember the old days when Toney Baloney Vays kept telling everyone BTC was going to $2K, so many missed out. This year, there’s a swell guy, much smarter and more legit than Vays, preaching the same. No matter how intelligent, they’re all childishly attached to being “right” or “I told you so”. If plebs get their messiah, everyone would be rich.

PatientReasonable348

I mean... We are still at 70k and the trend is still bearish. Unless I'm looking at the wrong charts? That said, short term sentiment doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Stacking BTC is what should concern you the most, and nothing else.

na3than

This depends on the rules set by your tax jurisdiction, but in the US, yes, if you have complete records including which wallet or account held the lot from acquisition to disposal. You can't, for example, buy 0.1 BTC from one source and send it to wallet A, buy 0.2 BTC from another source and keep it in account B, then sell 0.1 BTC from account B and claim it as the lot acquired from the first source.

The crowd is terrified. The chart doesn't care. My take: My own sentiment scores are running 93-94 across the board with high confidence, the signal is loud. Extreme fear + green candles is the rarest divergence in crypto. When everyone's scared but price keeps climbing, it usually means strong hands are accumulating what weak hands are dumping.

Post is by: evandollardon and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rkmlwd/for_the_people_who_did_good_last_bull/ If you actually walked away with meaningful gains during the last bull run, how are you handling the market now. Back in 2021, it felt like everyone was one green week away from “never working again” money. Some people sold into strength and locked it in, some rode the high because it felt like the market would just keep going, and a ton of people watched their portfolio bleed out after the top because they kept telling themselves “it’ll bounce” and “the next push is coming” until the trend was already gone This time feels different in that the market looks more mature, but the psychology is the same. $BTC ripped into new territory and $ETH showed some signs of life. I’m trying to hear from people who’ve already lived through the full loop: euphoria, denial, chop, and the long quiet stretch after everyone stops talking about crypto. So, for the people who made real money last cycle and actually kept it, what are you doing differently now * Are you taking profits on the way up * Are you scaling out at set levels, or using a time-based plan * Are you rotating into stables earlier, or keeping a permanent “dry powder” stack ready * Are you using any kind of structured approach this time like rebalancing, laddered sells, or automated rules Also - how you are you handling this part: where are you keeping your bags when you de-risk. Are you holding stables on exchanges, spreading across wallets, using anything CeFi to earn yield, or just keeping it simple I’ve been looking more at using a platform like Nехо as part of that “don’t round-trip your gains” plan, mostly because it’s easier for me to separate long-term holds from the portion I’m actively managing and to move between assets without constantly overtrading *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

First off, there are not that many millionaires that actually have a million liquid. Those stats include home values, retirement accounts, and other items that count towards net worth. Second, 1 bitcoin is an arbitrary number. This is probably the most important thing. Moreover, even if you had a million liquid, at today’s price you’d be dropping 7% into an asset that you know nothing about. Just the comments here show us that most people have absolutely no idea what bitcoin is. The public at large is as confused as they’ve ever been about bitcoin, what it is used for, what it can be used for. The mainstream western propaganda machine has (intentionally) totally mislead the people on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is money. Most people do not understand what money is or where it comes from. This is also by design. Having a million tied up in real estate or 401k’s doesn’t mean that you understand what money is. The vast majority of Americans (this is where the OP says most of the millionaires are) think that bitcoin is a risky investment. Gambling. The price of a single bitcoin in USD is already so far out of reach for more than 99% of people. Furthermore, you don’t need to own a bitcoin, and if you do want to, there’s no reason to lump sum into it. It’s easy. 1)Make more than spend. 2)save any excess in bitcoin That is the play. And if you have opportunities to use bitcoin for goods and services, or accept bitcoin for goods and services, you should. Anything you can do to increase adoption is helpful. Everyone loses if we keep using government fiat currencies. Those are designed to keep you working as a slave. There has never been a man, and there will never be a man that can avoid the temptation of manipulating the money supply once they have it in their control. NEVER. It will never happen. People are going to tip the scales to their favor if given time and opportunity. Bitcoin fixes this. It’s not perfect but it’s the best we have. And it’s a unicorn. So many things had to break right for the bitcoin network to be cranking along all these years later. Strong and robust. For the OP, yes, bitcoin is a scarce and finite asset (not deflationary as another user commented). It is already difficult to accumulate 1.0 BTC, and will likely become more difficult by orders of magnitude. Very few people can do it. And the most important FYI; the whole, “if every millionaire wanted a bitcoin…” conversation is one of the lowest forms of conversation.

It’s possible, however I’m not inclined in paying annual fees for the bank. Usually you need to have a checking account plus credit card. They’ll charge you for both. The one I’m using is 100% free and it’s possibly to use BTC as collateral. However, I only use money to recharge it and pay daily expenses.

GJ for initiation but dont rebuy at the same price, im living from trading gold and NQ100 but in crypto i just invest when it drops, im just giving you free and the best possible advice about BTC, its still a trap until a structure shows otherwise dont go FOMO thinking that price will go without you, i know that price of 60-65k is very inviting because its deepest low, but many bough at 90, 80, 75 ,70k and trap themselfs thinking it was best possible price that BTC MUST go up, BUT yet ..didnt, break of 72k is good sign for start of bullish trend, wait for 72k to break then price will reach 75-78 ,dont buy, market have to breath so it will get back to 72k shortly because of massive sell after weeks of stagnation people will be taking profits, but break bellow 60k is sign to wait, dont forget war between USA and IRAN is escalating, GOLD is safeheaven and USD as dominant world currency, BTC is luxury and fonds are pulling out money from unstable investments and re-ensuring into gold and usd

For years we heard they were going to zero. Coins around for 7 - 8 years and they are not increasing adoption by following the leaders.

Post is by: AmoxidtheFirst and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rkkik2/found_something_interesting_being_built_on_a/ I understand many people here prefer to stay fully on native Bitcoin and I’m not here to argue that anything is better than that. This is more for those who are curious about experimenting with DeFi while still settling on Bitcoin as the base layer. Recently I came across something called **JuiceSwap** that’s being built on **Citrea**, a Bitcoin Layer 2. Citrea is a **ZK rollup designed for Bitcoin** that executes transactions off chain and posts proofs back to Bitcoin for settlement. The goal is to enable smart contracts and higher throughput while still anchoring security to Bitcoin. Citrea is also **EVM compatible**, which means developers can build applications similar to those on Ethereum while still settling back to Bitcoin. On top of Citrea there’s **JuiceSwap**, which acts as a trading and liquidity hub in that ecosystem. What caught my attention: • swapping assets in a Bitcoin secured environment • bridging BTC to **cBTC** to use it in applications • a decentralized overcollateralized stablecoin called **JUSD** • a **launchpad** for new projects in the Citrea ecosystem • and the possibility to earn yield (I saw up to around **10% APR** in their savings section) So the idea seems to be building a small DeFi ecosystem that ultimately settles back to Bitcoin. Again, this obviously doesn’t replace using Bitcoin natively and I know many people prefer to keep things simple and on L1. But for those who are curious about **DeFi on a Bitcoin settlement layer**, it’s interesting to see what people are starting to build here. Curious what you guys think about Bitcoin rollups like Citrea and applications being built on top of them. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

I’m pretty similar mindset wise. I DCA and mostly try to treat it like a long term savings bucket, not a trading account. When it’s ripping to new highs, I don’t suddenly change the plan. If anything, I just check in with my overall allocation. If BTC has grown to be way bigger than I’m comfortable with compared to the rest of my finances, I’ll trim a little to rebalance. Nothing dramatic, just enough to get back to a level that lets me sleep fine. For me it’s less about timing the top and more about staying within my risk tolerance. If I start feeling anxious about the size of the position, that’s usually my signal to adjust. Otherwise I just keep the autopilot on and let time do its thing.

DBRiMatt

BTC is back over 100,000 Dollarydoos! 🍻

bobbyv137

I generally fucking hate threads like this as they're often meaningless. And FWIW, when reporting such numbers, it should always include net inflows to make a point, not simply volume. If an ETF has "bought" $1bn of BTC but sold $1.2bn, it's moot.

gowithflow192

It will get cheaper. I’d rather DCA good right now than BTC.

Django_McFly

March is off to a positive start. We've crossed $70k. Watch for the crazies calling insanity. BTC up ten % over like two or three weeks will be interpreted as $100k by end of March, $250k at worst by year end. Reminder to everyone, check the price charts. Bull markets are never literally up only and bear markets are never literally down only.

0xZennite

The ETF flow reversal is the key signal here imo. Retail panic sells while institutions quietly accumulate — it's been the pattern at every major bottom this cycle. The $65-67K BTC zone lines up well with the 200-day MA acting as support, which historically has been a strong accumulation area in bull markets. I'd keep an eye on whether the ETF inflow trend holds for another week or two before getting too aggressive though.

baIIern

That would put us at +136% or \~160k for BTC

ReceptionSmall9941

Momentum looks strong, but I’d still watch whether spot volume and funding stay balanced if BTC holds above this level. If flows remain steady after the initial breakout excitement, the move has a better chance of sticking.

horray! i think it will bounce up and down for a good while, but i think 2028+ will be an interesting era for btc.... 2028 - 2032 halving will be curious as well since the 2032 halving makes the mining reward less than 1 btc (0.78125BTC per block). Fun times as always!

Yeah dude and all other assets transfer to BTC

There is 0 rug in BTC… keep on proving how you understand the full hundreds of crypto… It’s like answering to a 1995 car add and asking them if the battery of their electric car is still able to charge to 100% … Terms do not go together …

People forget that ETF inflows slowly remove BTC from the market. It doesn’t move the price instantly, but over time supply gets tighter.

it's "BTC sneeze alts bleed" season, be careful

So we will never see 50K BTC ? Are we on our way to make a new ATH ?

BTC pumping randomly amid war cries. I guess too many people decided to go short and they need to be liquidated. Or is this perhaps the end of the bear market and we are in disbelief state?

Interesting split, but I’d want to see whether SOL/XRP relative strength holds through a broader risk-off week before reading it as true rotation. If BTC shorts unwind while those longs stay open, that would make the signal much more convincing.

BTC is guaranteed to moon to $200k right before you finally pay off your debt

1st cycle? War, especially leading to country getting cut off from standard markets is bullish for BTC. Entire liquidity of country fiat currency needs doorway. I am not telling you to buy, but as always, gonna do opposite of what 90% retail thinks.

And you need to ask yourself WHY do they not want one? Nobody wants a Rolls Royce because they’re too expensive to maintain … lose value when you drive them.. and unreliable ASF.. why don’t these millionaires want to buy BTC as of right now? Most likely because they’re uneducated asf and don’t want to take the time to learn about it because they’re ALREADY rich … no need for them to learn about it.. but they will eventually.

Only pay off the debt if the interest rate is above 5%. Otherwise buy BTC

I have the CDC Debit Card, it pays in CRO, but I know people who just convert the CRO to BTC weekly. They have their BTC staked, which while pays in BTC, it also pays 1% in CRO, which again they convert to BTC. To me, the CDC debit card is the best card out there for rewards, I also got my husband one, we both used our CDC cards for virtually everything, it adds up very quickly.

I get the sentiment, but “crypto is dying” really depends on where you’re looking. If you zoom out, spot BTC ETFs in the US are pulling in billions, Hong Kong just approved its own ETFs, and places like the UAE, Singapore, and parts of Europe are actively competing to attract crypto companies instead of pushing them out. Even on-chain, stablecoin volumes and L2 activity are still massive compared to a few years ago, it’s just not retail mania like 2021. What *is* dying is the easy-mode casino meta in overregulated markets, while more of the actual building is shifting to regions that are friendlier to experimentation and real-world use cases. You’re seeing more stuff tied to geography and physical activity, like location based gaming and real world interaction, which is the lane Armaverse is trying to build in. Feels less like an industry dying and more like one migrating and maturing in ways that are a lot less loud than the last bull run.

I'm on the same boat. Hoping to hit 1 BTC soon thanks for the drop in price. Haven't diversified at all, which goes against the #1 rule of investing. But it's hard to diversify when I have so much conviction in BTC.
