Everyone is going to have a different risk tolerance. Assuming the top is in this was a pretty muted bull run. What if we have a double length bear market just to wreck the hopes and dreams of everyone else? Do you want to be underwater and paying interest for the next 5 years? What if it goes down to sub $20k again? Are you ok making interest payments in the interim ($8000-$9000 or more)? If so then go ahead. As long as you are aware that every interest dollar could be going to BTC. Probalistically it is a good buy at 30 or 40k on small leverage. But if it goes the other way can you stomache it? Only you can decide. Anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. You are always better off spending money that is already yours and that you are ok to see fluctuate

Bought bitcoin recently too, but I prefer trading through OpenSea now. It’s all wallet-based, which means your coins stay in your control. Plus, the multi-chain swapping options help spread risk a bit instead of just holding BTC on one exchange.

aaj094

Is that what you see when you look at the BCH/BTC chart since 2017? 0.4 to 0.007. Sure, you may be looking at the period of last one year that saw 0.004 to 0.007.

BadBadGrades

It’s fine, all alts will be sold first. And that money will be put into BTC. Might be bearish first. What’s the alternative? Dollar that’s falling or gold that is pumped? Or buying stocks, what is making records to.

OldHamburger7923

He should just tell us the compounding rate for BTC. I've been in this since 2010 and this is the first time I've heard we get yields. I'd love to learn more.

MikaelAbou

Why do you think so? Are you long term bearish on BTC?

EduPepper

holding PAXG and USDC in a self-custody wallet is a solid move for your situation, since you control the keys and no third party can freeze your assets. for long-term storage, consider using a hardware wallet for the seed phrase and maybe diversify a bit with a small allocation to BTC as a hedge. i used a similar set up to preserve value before moving countries, keeping most in stablecoins and a portion in PAXG, managed everything through alicebob wallet for the convenience and security.

100%. This time I had ETH as 30% of my portfolio, next time it's BTC only. I did make money on it, but would have been much better off with just BTC.

Simke11

I wasn't in alts this time, with the exception of ETH (was 30% of portfolio), next time it's going to be BTC only.

Famous-Ebb3041

I'm still about $1,400 in the green (profit) on my 10% of 1 BTC. I'm waiting (none too patiently, either) for it to fall negative and plan to buy up every little bit on the way down. Sure wish it would hurry and fall... but that's the nature of crypto... it goes up and it goes down and it goes up and it goes down... a very tiring rollercoaster! :-D

JLC587

Sell low and buy later when it’s back up? Thats the exact opposite of what anybody should do with BTC.

THE 1FLAMEN6 PUZZLE ​While many view the current market slide as an "impossible" puzzle to solve, a real-world Bitcoin masterpiece once stumped the world's best codebreakers for three years. ​In 2015, a crypto-artist named Marguerite deCourcelle (known as @coin_artist) released an oil painting titled "TORCHED H34R7S." It was a complex, beautiful work based on Shakespeare’s The Phoenix and the Turtle, but hidden within its brushstrokes was a private key to a wallet containing 5 BTC. At the time of its creation, those coins were worth roughly $1,200. By the time someone finally solved it in 2018, they were worth over $50,000. ​The solution was staggering: a series of 1s and 0s were encoded into the width and color of the flames bordering the canvas. To decrypt the final key, the solver had to realize that the literal "key" in the painting's corner was tied with ribbons of varying lengths that functioned as a binary cipher. It stands as a testament to the "Cypherpunk" spirit—that value isn't just something you trade on an exchange, but something earned through logic, persistence, and seeing patterns where others only see chaos.

Ancient_Command687

Hi Satoshi here Glad you bought BTC 🫡

Hubert_J_Cumberdale

The more I read about Epstein's connections to the investors and developers who initiated the project, the more concerned I am for the future of BTC. Epstein's apparent role as a foreign intelligence agent working in concert with Israel and Russia, in particular, is very troubling. There is a very real possibility that the entire project was planned and funded by billionaires with ties to hostile foreign governments. Could there be a point in which it all becomes so toxic that banks and financial institutions have no choice but to pull the plug on their BTC holdings?

scintillatingsin

Ill be excited to buy sub 50k Even more in the 30s All in if BTC gets to 20s

Dusi99

Yeah, I know the struggle. I usually stick to self custody apps on my phone, Electrum for BTC, Phantom for SOL, Rainbow for ETH. Makes sending or swapping quick without digging around. For seed phrases, I keep one copy in a secure offline password manager and another physical backup somewhere safe😅 And if I just want to swap or earn a little without moving everything, Nexo is super convenient. Still, my main holdings always stay in my own wallets.

Nagemasu

The arguments for Back have been pretty strong, but I think most people are settling on it being more than a single person due to some of the edge case inconsistencies in pinning it on a single one. The absolute effort to hide yourself is way bigger than most people realise when you're writing so much code. The indenting, choice of variable names, times in which you make commits/are active, the way you comment in code etc etc are all very identifying when you look at them together. And yet, with so much to go off, people are still not 100% on who it is, which means it's either far more likely that Satoshi really is some complete unknown who never interacted with the BTC community outside the persona, or more than one person.

qwertydcf

I mean if you really think about it, Bitcoin was mainly used for the "darkweb" where you could buy alot of illegal things like ye u know. Also BTC - Buy the Children? Ive read so much shit about this evil pedo and im at the point where i would not be suprised anymore, if he is it.

Due-Candy-8929

Don't mess with leverage. Just buy and hold Spot.... By "LOST" I am assuming you bought during the hype and excitement, and then sold in the fear at the lows? When things are way down is a terrible time to sell... Many of us have watched or folios drop significantly... Despite Crypto seeing Institutions buy in.... They were never going to buy the top.... If $1m buys you 7BTC or 300k XRP or 200 ETH, then they would much rather see their buying power rake in much more for their $$$$... now that $1m buys 15BTC, 800K XRP or 500 ETH... all while early investors lose hope and panic sell... New retail will buy back in on hype, while whales profits big

VoDoka

Ok, serious question, but this is how it works, or? If he doesn't sell BTC, he has to pay off those convertible notes with cash reserves and if cash reserves don't suffice, he has to issue new convertible notes with a later expiration date (is that the wording?) with a much higher valuation (like, if MSTR is below $140 in 2027 and holders demand cash, he has to issue convertible notes that expire 2031 with a price of $670 or so to make it worth it)?

_TheWolfOfWalmart_

After this cycle you're supposed to have learnt it's only BTC.

Guidance_Mundane

BTC/USD will bottom out around 10k in about 10 months time, got that from an “insider”

Beginning_Command_91

Robbery gone wrong.They come for his BTC killed him and later found out how crypto works. No keys no money. Dumbfucks!!!

Shrijit27

Core BTC for me. I’m less focused on whatever the current narrative is and more on survival across cycles. Evan Luthra mentioning durability over excitement makes sense in this phase.

erjo5055

Yes soon of all the world's wealth times 7 will be stored in XRP! We just have to colonize 6 other planets with similar populations and GDP/wealth, then convert all assets into XRP! Sell BTC I definitely don't want to buy for cheaper!

Rare_Use9363

Not seeing enough "BTC is dead" comments on X yet. It's the same every cycle.

Last-Reception-2296

the digital gold narrative is having a bit of an identity crisis lately lol. it is interesting to see actual gold hitting records while BTC is behaving more like a high-beta tech stock. i honestly stopped trying to guess the reason why behind the price action because internet theories are just noise. my advice is to try some tools that track real-time institutional fund flows. it will help you see if the big players are actually exiting or just rebalancing so you dont end up as the exit liquidity. are you focusing on the total AUM movement or just the specific spot ETF outflows?

Affectionate_Bill639

BTW watch the Bannon interview, he doesn't say it, but he had to have knowledge of the development of BTC and the goals he was trying to accomplish in finance, BTC was the answer.

Nikhil_nagdev

$50k as a potential bottom isn't that far-fetched but BTC rarely follows the script everyone expects. It’s usually either a long boring sideways grind or a rapid nuke that catches everyone off guard. What’s interesting is the disconnect between headlines and actual behavior. I’ve been watching the on-chain data through Banana Pro and there’s a clear resurgence in activity. Usually when traders start positioning heavily in on-chain assets and volume starts picking up there, it's a sign that the underlying sentiment is shifting regardless of what the bear market headlines say. We could definitely go lower but the mood under the hood feels a lot more active than it did a few months ago

watch-nerd

How are you this bad after 3 cycles? I'm still well in the green on BTC.

grazfest96

Unless you leave your cold wallet information in a will person, then indeed your BTC dies with you.

SteadyGridProfits

Sooo you’re saying… BTC to the island instead of the moon? 🌕🏝️

First-Couple7756

I feel the same way. Bitcoin now feels more like a macro-traded asset than it did during the previous halving cycle ETFs, Fed news and mood swings are driving the bus now. I used Banana Pro https://pro.bananagun.io/app to monitor multi-chain positions and flows to see what’s actually moving on-chain in real-time. It really helps to distinguish real setups from the macro noise. While BTC is busy reacting to the latest headlines, the on-chain data usually tells a much clearer story about where the risk-on appetite is actually going. Still feels erratic though as if every dip has a backstory that's hard to measure until it's already happened

PermissionPlusFour

After 2 cycles you’re supposed to have learnt it’s only BTC and ETH…

mtnmahogany

Truth.  Even most of those who have some BTC don't really know much about how it really works. Yeah, I may need to invest in some tin foil: I've been using aluminum foil which is less expensive.

Gradual DCA to recovery Index/Gold/BTC

Dull-Assumption-964

an question that has been on my mind regarding our current discussion. There are nine individuals included in this correspondence photo, and I have noticed that we are referencing developments that date back to 2010. However, my understanding is that the foundational work on the Bitcoin algorithm began in late 2008 or possibly early 2009. This prompts me to consider whether it is possible that the contributions of earlier pioneers in this domain are not being sufficiently recognized, and that subsequent individuals may be attributing credit to themselves for achievements born from the efforts of others. It is essential for the integrity of the work and the future of the BTC algorithm to ensure that all contributions are acknowledged appropriately moving forward.

chichris

I just buy it and use the gift card to buy things you need. That’s easier than trying to buy BTC with the card.

Patrick_Atsushi

I don't know, can I legally create a company that just hoarding APPL and GOOGL shares by raised fund? I think it's like an investment company. His scheme might work until BTC lost its momentum of growth in valuation.

Ok-Sympathy9768

Thank you for your response..You are correct, and I am in agreement with you..bitcoin is definitely not linked to the dollar, and yes the dollar is being inflated into oblivion… and you probably agree 1 BTC = 1 BTC … you can also say 1oz of gold = 1oz of gold, and same thing can be said about the dollar, $1 = $1… the question becomes what can you obtain with them. What I ask myself; with all the economic uncertainty and out of control deficits, it makes sense the dollar is crashing, and metals are skyrocketing…but why is BTC is crashing 50% off ATH? The narrative for crypto/blockchain is bullish and Bitcoin should be skyrocketing but it’s not. It’s not acting like a store of value and that narrative is not holding up.

Advanced-Industry-50

mNAV is a scam. A metric invented by Saylor to give him an out if he ever need to pivot heavily into debt/preferreds. For those unaware: mNAV = ( Market cap + Debt + Preferreds - Cash on hand ) ÷ BTC held So issuing debt and preferreds INCREASES mNAV A much better metric is BTC owned per share or market cap per BTC held. Both of which have been dropping.

EscortRSBoom

I bought BTC with money that was marked for a project I forgot about. So had to take a loan to do my project. I’m not blaming BTC, totally my error. But still a debt.

LAOGE1

1 Bitcoin (BTC) = 100,000,000 satoshis (100 million sats) For 1 satoshi to equal 1 USD, the price of 1 BTC would need to reach $100,000,000 (100 million USD) Current situation (as of February 2026): Bitcoin price is roughly in the $68,000–$70,000 range → 1 satoshi ≈ $0.00069–$0.00070 USD (less than 1/10th of a cent) → To reach 1 sat = $1, Bitcoin would need to increase in price by about 1,400–1,450 times from today’s levels The above is my calculation formula

Chance_Strategy_7777

You can buy actual bitcoin. You just need to open a crypto account. I moved BTC from my Tezor to Fidelity. Very simple.

SteadyGridProfits

Sorry I was going off of a list I had found a while back…….. Top 5 influential people in crypto 1. Michael Saylor – Frequently called out as hugely influential (especially in Bitcoin circles like r/btc and r/Bitcoin) for corporate adoption, relentless advocacy, and turning MicroStrategy into a BTC vehicle that inspires retail and institutional holders. Threads often credit him with major personal/retail onboarding. 2. Vitalik Buterin – Regularly tops discussions as the most level-headed, important figure (e.g., in older and newer threads), especially for Ethereum/DeFi/smart contracts. Seen as a thoughtful ambassador who shapes the broader ecosystem beyond just BTC. 3. Brian Armstrong – Pops up a lot for Coinbase’s role in mainstream U.S. access, regulation pushes, and legitimacy (e.g., in CoinDesk lists shared on Reddit). Praised for onboarding normies and big money via compliant tools. 4. Changpeng Zhao (CZ) – Binance’s founder gets nods for massive global reach, liquidity, and user growth—even post-legal stuff. Reddit often highlights how Binance made crypto accessible worldwide. 5. Elon Musk – Acknowledged for market-moving hype, Tesla’s BTC buy, and bringing crypto to mainstream attention (though sometimes criticized for volatility). His cultural impact is hard to ignore in broader discussions.

MF_Price

You lost 83%? What did you buy? Even if you bought BTC at the absolute top you'd only be down 45%.

Seattleman1955

I was largely in the second half of 2021 and by 2022/3 was down more than $150k at one point. However, now if I average the last 4 year return, it's about 18%. QQQ did just as well and now BTC is down again.

brianmonarch

Yeah… BTC is doing great! That’s what they should’ve gotten in? 😂 like what?? $126k to 60k in a few months and you’re telling them that’s what they should’ve been in? Don’t get me wrong… I know some other coins have had bigger percentage losses. But, if anyone is going to play hindsight is 20/20, it should be someone that was in Silver. Not some bitcoin maximalist who also got crushed. Bitcoin is in fact the oldest, least green, most inefficient and slowest coin. The only thing you guys have going for it is it’s store of value. And I’m not saying that’s not enough. It just might be. And I mean that. It has been up until now. But if utility becomes a big factor in the future… Don’t hold your breath. And like I always say… I could definitely be wrong. It’s just really weird to see somebody get on a soapbox and praise BTC right now. But hey…. Don’t worry… 80% of the people here are in the same boat as you… The bitcoin vacuum chamber, who think nothing else matters in the crypto world. So they’ll have your back. …and even once again! You guys might be right!!! Time will tell. 😁

Post is by: Significant-Sky-5728 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/Bitcoin/comments/1r1jgoa/market_update/ Market Update: BTC is compressing on the 4H chart, finding resistance around 71–72K while still holding above VWAP. No divergences showing yet, and the gap between VWAP and recent highs is getting tight — which usually means a decisive move is coming soon. My downside target remains 59,400, where I’m waiting for a long leverage entry. That said, markets don’t always give perfect setups, so I’ve already started building spot bags just in case BTC moves higher first. If we dip, I’ll add heavier. If not, I’ll manage what I have and ride the next leg. Daily structure remains intact. Weekly is still developing — one candle at a time. Patience. Let price confirm. Stay flexible.

What does 1 BTC = 1 BTC have to do with anything? Of course, when it's going up people feel like that is what is expected at this stage of the market and not so much when it suddenly drops 40%.

NEMM2020

You can buy more BTC if you wait for a lower price though

Darryl_444

I'd wait for much later this year. And average into it, instead of one big buy. BTC's 4-year-low tends to bottom out gradually, yet the peaks are quite sharp. And volatilty keeps decreasing each cycle too.

cooltone

I have an observation. It's not a concern because I'll not be around in 2120: A power-law trend line showing the BTC price (in USD) over time can be drawn at a low robust price-level. Assume for the moment that this trend-line persists for the long-term (this is just to defer debates on that); The bitcoin power-law is sublinear, which means its annual % growth will reduce each year. By the year 2120 the annual price growth of bitcoin(USD) is ~5%/year, eventually this growth will reduce to 0%. So sometime after 2120 bitcoin may cease as a store of value/inflation hedge, which may result large sell-off - which might stop any transition into bitcoin as a currency.

thats_gotta_be_AI

Why do Strategy pay such a ridiculous premium for Bitcoin? They paid about 78k per coin just a few days ago. Why not buy incrementally 24/7 at actual spot price? Or is that against some investment law? That these buys would move the market? It’s about 13.5 BTC per hour.

Ok_Golf_6467

VeganCaramel

This mega plunge is making Bitcoin look like manipulatable funny money. Does that matter? Does image matter? Well, because virtually everyone has stopped working to perpetuate and improve Bitcoin's **real-world value** as a near-anonymous decentralized cash-like currency (instead choosing to put their energy into playing a BTC version of _Wolf of Wall Street_), image is starting to be all Bitcoin has left. So yes, image matters. And if people see that Bicoin can lose a **trillion** that fast, Bitcoin's *image* as a good store of value it pummeled. It starts to look like funny money that can lost the rest of its value as well. The energy and focus needs to be shifted back to reinforcing and improving Bitcoin's real-world value for average real-world people.

Which exchange is best for you depends on what country you are a resident of. I recommend buying bitcoin from [Strike](https://strike.me/), [River](https://river.com/), or [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/). [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) is also a good option if you use direct deposit. All four of these platforms are reliable. [River](https://river.com/) and [Strike](https://strike.me/) are the best platforms to set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule (automatic dollar cost averaging schedule). If you set up an automatic hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase schedule on River, then River stops charging you fees after the first week. https://river.com/zero-fee If you set up an automatic hourly or daily recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first week. And if you set up an automatic weekly or monthly recurring purchase schedule on Strike, then Strike stops charging you fees after the first automatic purchase. https://strike.me/faq/how-do-i-set-up-a-recurring-purchase/ You should also be aware that exchanges get to choose how much they want to charge their customers for withdrawing bitcoin from their platform. This fee is referred to as a bitcoin withdrawal fee. Some exchanges choose not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee at all (meaning it's free to withdraw bitcoin). [Swan Bitcoin](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee. [Strike](https://strike.me/) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you choose the slowest option. [Cash App](https://cash.app/bitcoin) chooses not to charge a bitcoin withdrawal fee if you withdraw 0.001 BTC or more and you choose the standard speed option. [River](https://river.com/) chooses to give their customers one free bitcoin withdrawal per month.

You can still transfer BTC when you want and receive transfers in. So it just eliminates the need for self custody and someone screwing it up

I agree most will down vote my response but Fidelity is a solid, trusted company and if you have other assets invested it’s just easier to add BTC and let them safekeep it.

Ok_Plastic5399

The 4 year cycle thesis was never really a thesis, just a pattern that happened to emerge as a function of halving-related supply and demand pressures coupled with BTC's terrible liquidity. It was inevitable that the 4 year cycle pattern would disappear once Bitcoin liquidity improved. I mean, cycle volatility has been declining in near perfect correlation with liqudiity growth for 13 years. And BTC liquidity has never been better. With the advent of derivatives and ETFs, large transactions no longer move the price the way they once did. Computers move in to sell as big buy orders hit the tape. This means that returns are declining and will decline more, but drawdown percentages will also decline. And this is a good thing for widespread interest and investment. Terrifying drops of 70% every 4 years are not the sort of thing portfolios are built on. So, yes, the pattern is broken -- pour some out for the dead homie -- but this is what we want to see. For people to really get interested in allocating a portion of their portfolios to an asset, that asset has to have a history, favorable risk/return properties over that history, and liquidity. The only thing Bitcoin lacks now is history and every day it gets more.

DepartmentNo9197

Supposedly BTC is finite; and a digital code on the blockchain in layman’s terms. If something is so rare and highly valued….hedge, as say gold etc; as BTC is akin to at the moment; who would want to transact in something so volatile and high dollar for everyday occurrences?

Hal Finney – Early Bitcoin adopter, first to receive BTC from Satoshi, cryptography expert; lived near a Dorian Nakamoto coincidence; denied being Satoshi. Nick Szabo – Created bit gold, ideas and writing style match Bitcoin whitepaper; denied being Satoshi. Dorian Nakamoto – Newsweek pointed to him because of his name; he denied involvement; coincidence. Wei Dai – Early cryptography work influenced Bitcoin; no proof he was Satoshi. Adam Back – Invented Hashcash, cited in whitepaper; possible influence, not creator. Craig Wright – Claimed to be Satoshi but failed to prove it; widely rejected. Bitcoin crashes when volume dries up because low volume means buyers vanished, so one seller can slam price lower, while stocks usually hold up because forced buyers create a floor.

Majestic_Plane_1656

BTC isn't down that much from the top so you bought alts and all alts are shitcoins. You deserve it.

timmy12688

Coinbase or Robinhood are the easiest if you're in the US. It will take some time to verify you. Don't buy more than you afford to loose. DCA after the initial buy in. Study more and learn more about it and WHY you are buying it. Then once you have an "Oh shit" stash get it off the exchange. Buy a Trezor hardware wallet, transfer a small amount of BTC to it, like $10 worth. Then pretend you cannot login and forgot everything. Go through resetting it as if you have a million on the line. Then after that, send the rest of the stash and forget about it.

Nice contribution, Satoshi isn't anyone famous or publicly known. BTC was a group project and needed an unknown face. Hal chose someone he respected to be Satoshi, knowing he had ALS. That person created Satoshi and made another few key contributions to the project, as well as undertaking huge personal sacrifice. A few people on this list and the project knew the real identity. Satoshis parents are not great people and have destroyed their reputation IRL. Hint: The first letter of Satoshis firstname and first letter of their birth country are the same.

BTC is definitely the first pick for accumulation. The plan is to follow the market fluctuations and narratives. But OCEAN and AIOZ will be among my picks too, because they survived every circle, and the development is consistent.

3-5% of our GDP is laundered annually. Illicit transactions make up 0.5% of BTC volume. Ban USD

Take out credit, sell your house, withdraw your 401k. Failing to buy more BTC is the only way to lose. Good things happen to those who trust in BTC. :)

can you still buy bitcoin? Definitely. I"ve been using OpenSea"s wallet-based trading feature recently to buy BTC directly. Since it's non-custodial, I feel more in control than with some centralized platforms.

Haha yeah, I am not the example of DCA The risk I face is when BTC does start going up and never comes back down, I'll have stopped buying and will have less BTC.

saying the quiet part out loud — MSTR stopped being a software company years ago and is now a leveraged Bitcoin ETF with extra steps. the "we'll just refinance" framing only works as long as someone is willing to keep lending against BTC collateral that just dropped 90%.

I play a fictional role online and can say anything. As such, I hold a little more than 2 BTC.
