BTC

SirCheesecakes

Ai is the new hype train that’s intentionally overvalued by the elite. 32 BTC isnt a ton considering how much that company has stashed. Youre either a long term holder or a short seller but not both. I hope it goes lower tbh, i want the best deal. Also, the AI play started years ago, theres still scraps but you have to follow strict money management rules.

Local_Math_5512

It's an annoying level of panic from people that treat BTC like a religion instead of as an investment.

Assume their posted birthday is accurate, April 5, 1975, they would be about 51 now if still alive. In another 30-40 years we can safely say this person is dead, where will BTC be by then? crazy

BTC is deaaaaad! Buy some NFTs!!

Carbonaraficionada

Dropping 25 BTC into BitConnect. The US Treasury just paid me back, following a very drawn out prosecution of the guys behind it, and guess what? Despite seizing $189m worth of BTC (as of 2023 highs) the restitution was equivalent to the dollar value of the BTC at the time you transferred it into the scheme, so i got a whole $15k. They refuse to distribute the BTC, dollars only. It's taken 9 years to get anything back.

jslestevez

I think Satoshi is still alive, but with his real identity, he has managed to acquire many BTC, either by mining or buying them in the early years. Those that Satoshi owns shouldn't be moved, as he is part of the ecosystem—an anonymous creator with initial coins that remain untouched.

"**sunk cost fallacy**, a cognitive bias where people continue an endeavor because of unrecoverable resources (time, money, or effort) already invested The S&P has doubled since the beginning of the decade. Even solid stocks like Google are up big time. Holding onto losers is one of the biggest mistakes I made in 45 years of investing. Even if you are down 30 or 40% on BTC, I've made that much return on Goog in one year.... If any of you are under 35 and want to be surefire multi-millionaires you would put a lot of money into regular index funds and then some into well positioned tech stocks. That NVDA is only at about 30 P/E....while Tesla is at...what? 200? There is no comparison between these companies! Google? They have so many divisions most all of which will likely succeed. In theory, just WayMo (given the silly markets today) is worth over a trillion. Google also makes chips (like NVDA).....and is an ad agency (like Meta) and is AI and so many other things. Anyway, back to getting wealthy. It takes time. I've been in all those "get rick quick" situations.....I was online trading stocks with "The Fool" way before the internet existed. I remember making 60K or so on my Iomega stock (I was not well off at the time)....in 3 days! But, alas, that isn't how wealth really works. It was the $500 a month I had deducted from my bank account and auto invested into Vanguard, etc. over a couple decades that really added up. You can then set aside a percentage to use as your Mad Money and make your chancy bets. Anyway, all I desire if for y'all to succeed and in crypto it's somewhat akin to options where only a small percentage of folks make money in it. But yet everyone thinks they are part of that percentage!

SunriseSurprise

Comcast dropped over 40% and wiped out a 11-figure hedge fund. Banks dropped like 80-90% in the 2008 crisis and wiped out god knows how many fortunes. Anyone who thinks that can't possibly happen to BTC, which didn't even exist 20 years ago, especially when it's already happened to various other crypto, will be in for a world of hurt when it does.

Upper-Bus4348

For the record i probably have about 3% of my NW in BTC. Going to increase this slightly.

The spirits of BTC are not talking to me at the moment, will let you know when they are back online.

SeikoWIS

It doesn't really matter that BTC has those features for 99% of use cases: a fiat currency with a reliable central bank + banking system works much better. Do you think soccer moms and regular businesses will adopt BTC? Today's irl use case represents the correct 'value': 1. speculation (explains the bulk of the price) 2. In no particular order: various uncommon transaction types, illicit activities, and a temporary alternative for banana republics that have a failed banking system.

Corporate_Bankster

Approximately - 15% primary residence - 35% stocks - 45% rental properties - 5% BTC BTC worst performing asset by far but I keep it as long term conviction play

TellInternational397

Yea, NVDA is outperforming BTC in the last 10 years.

sivartomeus

I bought when btc was at $77k (mostly TAO, SOL and BTC) but I'm scared to buy again now then it goes to $40 like you said, so I'll wait and if it does I'll buy then. If it never goes that low, that's fine too.

SuessMeetsSats

Historically, the odds of being down after holding Bitcoin for at least 3 years have been less than 1%, and every 4-year holding period has been profitable so far with a 17 year track record. If you do the work to truly understand BTC, you know to expect volatility.  And you know not to invest anything that you might HAVE to tap into in less that 3 years. And knowing those things makes what BTC is doing now and what it did in early February just expected.  It's about having the conviction, based on knowledge & understanding, to buy what you can when you can and forget about it in the short term, knowing your patience will be highly rewarded!  It's not a get rich quick scheme, it's a safe place to save and increase the value of your time and energy when all fiat can provide is lost purchasing power year after year.

Futuristic_Kid

Thanks for the supporters! BTW guys, it is just a theory of mine.... I think that BTC is not gonna find a real bottom untill the OG whales (1st + 2nd generation) liquidate Michael Saylor...they will bring the crypto market down untill he is FORCED to sell. They will show him who are the real bosses in this market, it is definitely not him with him 75k average.  This will create the REAL capitulation.

TellInternational397

> at this pace, by 2036 gold market will be roughly $126 trillion. BTC will be at $129 trillion You have no what you are talking about.

Sell BTC to buy WIF at 2.40.

WarniCator

There’s so much FUD on Reddit it’s not even funny. If BTC drops to 50k we gonna start seeing suicide Hotline.

zhliiqu

who said that BTC will reach 15w in 2026.

HumanChocolate3310

I don’t think you fully understand AI if you think it’s steps away from breaking blockchain. The FUD is that the amount of qubits needed to break blockchain seems to be lower than initially expected, however we are still significantly under the amount of logical quibits needed to break private keys. The range of logical quibits needed is estimated to be around 1200-1500 state of the art systems currently use 30-48. So we have a lot of work in the AI space, time in which BTC developers have to create quantum resistant addresses. If people don’t upgrade when the time comes, they could be the possibility they lose their coins to AI. But developers are proposing some solutions for this as well, they are just a bit controversial

MelangeBot

Yeah it needs the Bitcoin price to grow by 20 to 30% forever. If it grows less or the price goes in decline it stops working and then the interest payments force more and more Bitcoins to be sold of which creates a death spiral till they are bankrupt. Saylor said that they could survive all the way down to 9000 dollars per Bitcoin so you guessed it, we are going lower then that. Why? because it's very profitable for all the other traders to force MSTR to dump all of their 800k BTC. All you got to do is sell the Bitcoin you have, short the Bitcoin you don't have and resist the urge to buy any. Plenty of whales are more then patient enough to do this. And you know MSRT will eventually be forced to dump every single BTC if you keep the price low enough long enough.

SeikoWIS

One Trump Tweet can change the price of BTC by double digits, but fiat is more manipulable by MAGA than crypto....right. Thanks for confirming what I thought about crypto investors. I will stick to buying traditional investments, thanks.

Rickard403

That would bad for anyone trying to profit off BTC though. What would the angle be for someone to do this? Buy BTC at 20k after everyone has lost confidence is BTC?

CrAZiBoUnCeR

I remember being distraught those last 2ish weeks of January into February this year. Didn’t BTC lose like $35K in that time frame? People making this drop seem a lot worse. Am I missing something or am I just hardened against despair?

SeikoWIS

You're not understanding me. I am not saying BTC doesn't have unique features that are valuable. I am saying that doesn't invalidate Stereo-soundS's legitimate concerns. Many things have unique features. Just because it does something neat doesn't mean the $1.27 Trillion market cap is correctly priced and concerns that it isn't largely a speculation-based Ponzi scheme are moot. You can think beyond absolutes, right? You understand that something can have legitimate value, but the price is still largely speculative bullshit?

UpbeatFix7299

It's a ponzi scheme at its core. Constantly diluting and issuing more debt only works as long as he can buy enough BTC to artificially inflate the price forever.

Sonike

Absolutely, you can use [FlipsSwap](https://flips.fi) , that's what I do, it's a dex aggregator so basically it scans all routes to deliver best rates, it supports native BTC and has titan liquidity.

Lavayo

Around 80% at current prices. Of those 80%: 75% BTC cold wallet, 25% MSTR.

DantelRodz

He's a time traveler. The unmoved BTC still there because Satoshi is currently out of the time line.

People finally figured out you cannot even buy a pizza with BTC, and the electricity is better spent on AI. BTC is going straight to zero.

Valuable_Resolve_725

I'm around 6%, i consider my BTC allocation a no go whatever happens in life so I keep it somewhat low as it is not reliable for near future usage

QuirkyGlove3326

BTC goes up, I stack. BTC goes down, I stack. USD will continue to inflate, pushing up the relative price of BTC over time.

sharyphil

The most important thing is that ATH will definitely be hit in a couple of years max. BTC will be growing. By definition

Ever heard of the war in Iran? Macro head winds? The Bond market? The Yen carry trade? AI/IPO mania? The list goes on and on… 32 BTC being sold ain’t it.

Not what I expected either. I’ve been trading crypto since 2020. Completely self-taught, completely discretionary. Over four years I went through the full emotional rollercoaster — big wins, bad losses, revenge trades, FOMO, and the one that hurt the most personally: the missed setup. You see it forming, you hesitate for one second, and it runs without you. That one is a special kind of torture. At some point I realized the strategy wasn’t really the problem. The problem was me executing it. I’d have a clear rule — “enter here, stop here” — and then talk myself out of it at the last second because it “felt wrong.” Every trader knows this feeling. So I started obsessing over one idea: what if I just removed myself from the equation entirely? I looked into automating my strategy but I have zero coding background. I tried working with my brother-in-law who’s a serious developer, but it moved incredibly slowly and never really got off the ground. I shelved the idea for a while. Then a few months ago I started hearing the term “vibe coding.” The idea that you could describe what you want in plain language and Claude would turn it into actual working code. I was skeptical honestly — like, real skeptical. But I tried it anyway. I wrote out my strategy in plain English. Entry conditions, filters, exit logic, risk parameters. Sent it to Claude. Got back working Pine Script. Ran the backtest. The edge was real. Kept going. What followed was kind of obsessive. 33 versions of my BTC strategy before I had something I was genuinely confident in. That’s not a typo — thirty-three. Each one fixing something the last one got wrong. Overfitting, edge cases, parameter sensitivity. Claude would explain what it was doing and why, so I actually understood the logic rather than just copying code blindly. Eventually I had a live bot running on my Bybit account. Then a second one for ETH. Then SOL. Watching the first trade execute automatically at 3am while I was asleep — that was genuinely surreal. The whole experience changed how I think about AI tools. It’s not about replacing expertise. I needed 4 years of actual trading experience to know what to build. Claude just removed the barrier between “I understand this” and “this is now code running on a server.” For anyone thinking about this: the vibe coding workflow is real, but it’s not magic. You still need to know what you’re asking for. The AI fills the technical gap — it doesn’t fill the knowledge gap. Happy to answer questions about the process if anyone’s curious. I also documented the whole thing in detail (including full backtest data, the 6-filter entry logic, and how the deployment actually works) at v33systematic.com — not pushing anything, just where I wrote it all up if you want to go deep on it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

And the president wouldn't be launching a memecoin if there was no value to it People are just lobbying for something they can extract money from rubes with. The biggest institution invested in BTC is a company led by the guy who kicked-off the dotcom bubble and is using a bunch of financial deception to hide that they're a ponzi scheme. ETFs signal nothing about whether institutes believe in crypto, it just means they have see a market for it.

Space2999

Just be aware that based on the historic 4-year cycle, BTC is likely to decline until Q4 of this year, and then climb from there. Not financial advice, but please review the all-time charts.

MCL-Jonathan

Historically, buying Bitcoin near its 200-week moving average (currently around $61,800) has offered one of the best risk-reward opportunities in the market. That's because the 200WMA has acted as a long-term support level across multiple cycles, with Bitcoin rarely staying below it for long. For those still on the sidelines, your downside risk is relatively limited compared to buying near market tops, while the upside can be several times your investment if Bitcoin eventually returns to or exceeds previous all-time highs. In simple terms: you're risking a potential 10–30% downside for the possibility of a 100%–300%+ upside over the long term, a highly favorable risk-reward setup. An opportunity of your lifetime to own more $BTC!

Scarab702

I would be devastated since I put a lot in BTC already but life would go on.

whathathangsmellike

I'd start being concerned if BTC hits 15k and lower after hitting 126k But id still prolly buy

Phylaras

I think you have you general picture. It has been called ponzi-adjacent because in the best case scenario, they service debt from more debt. But it's adjacent because that's not their only option. They can also sell BTC -- but in two ways. 1. BTC price up -- BTC gains more than the STRC yield, they capture the spread. 2. BTC price down -- they can tax loss harvest to offset future gains. If BTC doesn't go up in the long run, they're screwed as then the only door they have available for debt service is more debt. They do technically have two other options: pause STRC yield payment, or dilute shareholders with more issuance. But the BTC must go up long term idea still holds.

OddRecognition6214

BTC around .3k and the mood still looks more comfortable than the tape deserves. Historically, the crowd gets loudest after price has already done the work.

Puzzleheaded-War960

thanks for the longer reply, i think we are mostly aligned? my definition of trading requires a FV attached to the purchase at the time. Many (most?) BTC holders seem to have no concept of pricing and instead value the utility, the community, their ego, or simply want to gamba. I would not consider those ppl traders regardless of if/when they sell and their PnL. To your point, you don't HAVE to be skilled/thoughtful at assigning FVs to be classified as a trader. DCAing can and should still involve a FV (and a little projection) that is higher than ur initial purchase, while reducing ur short term mkt variance. Moreover, DCA is probably correct for all but the sharpest MMs; obviously for low effort investors its a MUST as ur not saccing any EV for variance reduction, but even for high effort guys in 2026 its REALLY hard to find short term spots >\~2% EV and hammer with size. perhaps it was different even as recently as 2023 but times have changed

TomorrowLow5092

BTC to $50k, thanks for not keeping your promises Saylor. Every billionaire that opens his mouth and makes fabulously false claims about investing in their company gets an iceberg eventually. If BTC keeps dropping he will sell more and he has to sell a lot more than before. The economy is falling hard and fast in the US, anyone that doesn't have enough financial backing is running to the exits.

mastermilian

If the market tanks, BTC has historically gone with it. There's no way that people are going to choose BTC as a "safe haven" if the market capitulates for any reason.

cognitiveDiscontents

Two things are true. If you DCAd BTC and VOO equally over the last 5 years BTC would outperform, and also, on this specific date the 5 year growth of VOO is greater than that of BTC. Which one is cherry picking?

NashDaypring1987

Hope there is a BTC Heaven 😄

Tonyziz

I can’t believe people are supporting KYC. You are doing the right thing. BTC transactions should never be tied to your identity. KYC is a serious government overreach and should not exist. Buy from friends, buy P2P buy on Dex. Never use a CEX

I_Like_Tartar_Sauce

BTC can crash to $5 for all I care, I just want one more alt season 💀

undeadkarlmarx

MSTR is in no way similar to FTX. It’s not holding other people’s coins; it can’t face a bank run scenario like FTX did, and either way there’s no real doubt that they actually have the 800k+ btc with coinbase. That said, it could be the GBTC of this cycle where the share price trades way below NAV for several months, so buying MSTR right now may not be the greatest idea, even if BTC itself is near bottom.

bjman22

This statement is said with certainty but it is absolutely 100% false. If he already has USDT he can use Thorswap to buy actual on-chain BTC with USDT. No KYC needed. Same thing with Hyperliquid and I could list a dozen other DEX's (Decentralized Exchanges). There is absolutely zero need to use a CEX in 2026.

wgcole01

Last time I bought BTC it was around $3400. I still have every Sat I bought.

SeparateCode2285

So your argument is that since BTC is finite and it’s the king of crypto it would go up. So why isn’t it up right now- it’s still finite and king of crypto. Or is if waiting until all the btc is mined to go up? Truth is nobody knows why BTC goes up and down. We know why Nvidia or micron goes up and down- not because people just believe in them but because they have demonstrated strong fundamentals and stakeholder returns. BTC is a currency and as a currency its only value is if people believe in it. If people stop believing in it, and there’s no underlying hedge then it’ll never go up. What makes you believe mainstream adoption of btc?

Forded_Fiction24

Because BTC is the real Kobayashi Maru

Flying_Kangaroooo

The S&P could go back to 3000, for what we know. Everyone invested in stocks was confident few months before the 2001, 2008 and covid crash. In the 20 years after everyone recovered money, but it still took 20 years. BTC is just a different asset, so 30% of my portfolio is in BTC. Btw crypto international transfers are much cheaper than sending money, just saying.

almo2001

When you're holding an asset that does nothing, you want others to buy so the price goes up so you can sell. Nobody with a ton of this stuff is holding out of the kindness of their hearts. They want profits, and convincing others to buy so they can sell is a great way to do that. This is what we've been saying about BTC for over a decade.

marcok36

Same happened in 2019 and 2023. Money moves around. What didn’t help this last halving cycle is pump and fun and meme rugs galore. It’s way easier to pick an Ai winner than a crypto winner that isn’t BTC.

SeikoWIS

Your uncle's pr0n hard drive is also massive, irreversible, unhackable, and can't be stopped or sanctioned by countries. He uses it daily. But when's the last time your uncle bought anything with BTC?

Flying_Kangaroooo

I buy every start of the month the same amount. If the price is particularly low, I buy double the usual amount. I have stocks, but almost everything is at ATH, so to me it is quite clear that BTC is now the best asset to accumulate. Nobody who has DCA in S&P500 or BTC has ever lost money in the long run. Chill.

Post is by: evandollardon and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1twnrms/pick_one_crypto_to_leave_to_your_kids/ ETH for smart contracts, SOL for speed, some DeFi blue chip. Then I asked what I'd actually lock away for 20-30 years without touching. BTC is the only one where the value proposition hasn't changed since day one. Fixed supply, no foundation that can pivot, no roadmap that can fail, etc. Everything else requires you to be right about technology bets that haven't played out. BTC just requires you to believe scarcity has value, which is a bet humans have been making forever. I'd just keep it earning interest on a platform like Nехо or Krаken for the next 20-30 years, and voila, my kid will have a tuition fund. Custody planning is also solved in a way nothing else is. Inheritance planning for a protocol that might not exist in 15 years is a different conversation. So what would you pick? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

When your average businesses start using BTC to improve their daily operations, or soccer moms use it to buy off Amazon, let me know. Until then, I am continuing to DCA into QLD without worry. BTC doesn't produce anything, it doesn't generate cash, it's not replacing fiat, it failed on most of its 'business plan' (white paper), it's far too volatile for widespread adoption. It's a speculator's pump & dump current prices--every knows it, deep down. You're just hoping to dump at $600k in stead of $60k.

Darkpriest667

It's certainly not for people that have high anxiety or a low tolerance for volatility. This isn't even the biggest swing I've ever seen in my 10 years in BTC. Try 80%? that would put BTC at 25000 USD. These newbies would be losing their minds. OP has great advice. Day traders always lose, so do people that short and long.

Davie_Baby_23

Or maybe he never moved or sold any BTC from the wallets believed to be Satoshi's because doing so could have made it easier to identify him. I'd be willing to bet he mined with other addresses after Bitcoin started gaining traction and made plenty of money that way... that's just my guess.

--TheCity--

Every 4 years like clockwork the plebes moan about BTC. Every 4 years like clockwork it shoots to all time highs and the plebes sing it's praises. The hodlers bag swells.

Tai9ch

You're getting distracted by the distraction. Cryptocurrency as currency isn't a trillion dollar industry in 2026. All the "practical" things that are getting done are getting done at volumes that completely disappear in the noise of "BTC price went up", "BTC price went down", and "ETH went up a little but not as much as BTC". That's okay. Things don't have to get constant media coverage to be useful.

SouthernBeekeeper22

At least it felt worth buying when it was double the price it is now. Now it feels dirty to buy BTC lol

__redruM

You’re likely not wrong, but it’s hard. Almost as hard as it is to sell at $120k. BTC always breaks it ATH again given enough time, but that could be 3 years from now. I stopped out at 80k, have another lot, that will hold.

Phylaras

Yes. Because they buy more BTC or buy back MSTR.

Pale_Drink4455

BTC wouldn’t even blink at that.

SeikoWIS

Every one of these people know that, deep down, BTC is a pump & dump. The bulk of BTC's price has nothing to do with utilitarian fundamentals--it's speculation.

SeikoWIS

The one thing where he didn't do anything to make things worse. Everyone thinking BTC would endlessly go to the moon are to blame.

AInception

That BTC halving its security budget every 4 years forever is bullish People think a predictable 0.0X% drop in supply manufactures bull markets when over 99% of coins are in circulation today People don't think in 2-3 more halvings it won't be anywhere near as secure as today, killing its entire speculative narrative Enter your paycheck into a calculator and divide it by 2. Then divide the new number by 2 again ten more times. This is what Bitcoin is programmed to do to all miners PAYING to secure the network, and it ain't a good thing. The *only* way to offset halvings (without a drop in security) is if your paycheck is worth X2 in each instance. Take the market cap of BTC and multiply it by 2 ten times in a row and you have an over $1-quadrillion asset with the SAME security budget as we have today. Except, *why would it* become worth $1-quadrillion in the first place when 99.9% of all coins are in circulation at this point? Just because it has to, for your bags, doesn't mean it will. To the contrary most of the time.

Post is by: vac2672 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1twn12g/attention_young_grasshoppers/ I really feel for all these obviously young wannabe superstar traders losing their shirts in these markets. Real facts here... you ain't gonna make a living day trading, esp. crypto (unless you happen to have been very lucky and bought years ago, but chances are you sold it.) I have been buying BTC since it was $300, unfortunately selling along the way as well. Anyway take this advice young bucks, because it is pure gold...if you have the discipline you will thank me in years to come, if you don't, and you continue to pretend using terms like 'support', 'breakout', 'test' when it comes to btc you will pay dearly... btc is worthless, just face it, you are here to trade and make money, not because you're waiting for the financial system to collapse... it ain't gonna so get on w your life. I have done technical analysis professionally on wall street for years using custom software built for portfolio analysis, so take my advice or don't, i really don't care... Here is how you get rich: If you're in you late teens, 20's, even early 30's not too late... simply put 85% of what you can save each month in stocks (i'll explain how), and 15% (10% btc, 5% your fav worthless alt coin). This is IN ADDITION to maxxing out your 401k and/or ira's. That is priority #1 **Of your 85% Stocks breakdown as: 40% QQQ, 20% SPY, 40% Top Tech (Faang or Mag 7, etc)** Now you assign your dollar amount to that... whether it is $100 a month or $1k and do your portfolio purchases. Now here's the rule: DON'T EVER SELL ANYTHING. I didn't sell through the dot com bust, i didn't sell through '08, and now I am rich by most standards. The freedom you will gain is beautiful.. stop trying to time btc because it has no timing, it is a trading vehicle, that's it, treat it that way... it ain't your lifeblood.. I still to this day don't PERSONALLY know a single person who has used btc to purchase anything. You use it to make money, stop being a fanboy. You can believe me, don't believe me, downvote me, whatever.. i'm giving you free advice, i've done it all, i was the wannabe daytrader, i built automated blackbox trading models, etc.. i've watched top PhD's try to beat the market...it all fails. The only thing I have seen work is the above. Anything else is timing and a little luck. Oh, and you're welcome *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Ai IS already changing. BTC stayed hypothetical and still is

Upper-Bus4348

Ok sit down and listen. I am also a doctor. This is a terrible idea. Since you're asking for financial advice on a BTC subreddit it's clear you have no idea. Go ahead and put up to 10% into BTC as long as you have no student loans or other major debts. Put the rest into VTI.

Local_Economy

You have a very short window to do this. The time to do this was 6 months ago. Anyone trading this right is starting to rotate back to bitcoin. I just hold all my bitcoin and never sell, but I do also have AI stocks and profits are getting parked in my BTC hodl. Would 100% not be selling bitcoin for stocks here

Phylaras

Say your 1 share of MSTR represented .1 BTC ownership out of their large pile. A 16% BTC yield means by the end of the year, your 1 share now represents .116 BTC. Now MSTR's stock price might be down in USD, but you'd be up in BTC. Saylor thus serves two kinds of customers: 1. If you want USD gains, then you have STRC (11% USD yield). 2. If you want BTC, hold the stock.

dubsy101

Yeah you nailed it. Crypto no longer seems to have the same prospects as it did a few years ago. Investments are being diverted to AI and the use case for BTC has not really been realised. The fact that ETH has done F all only seems to support this. 50K doesn't seem unreasonable. I wouldn't he surprised if it goes down to 38K

Stereo-soundS

It has no business plan, it has no revenue. It is a Ponzi scheme based on speculation.  When is the last time you bought a pizza or a cheeseburger or a car with BTC?  Never.  Like they said it's the same for 99.99% of people.

Fiat system, money collapse, blah blah blah. So how is BTC the answer? It isn't a currency one can practically use, and it hasn't been a hedge against the markets. It does nothing it and its evangelists promise. It is literally good for nothing except speculation. And now all the electricity we used for math, to create this pointless financial bomb that sucks in young people, is needed for data centers for... not mining BTC, but for everything but that, mostly to store user comments in public forums. If the USD collapsed this afternoon, there is no way you're buying food with BTC, probably ever.

This transaction is catastrophic. Ignore the size and look at what's just happened. He issued preferred stock and notes with a circa 11.5% yield to buy BTC. He then sold the BTC at a loss, to pay the interest. That's like getting a loan from a bank to buy a house for $1m, and then selling equity in that same house at an $800k valuation to make the mortgage repayments. You still owe a million dollars and selling your assets at a discount leaves you even deeper in the hole! The optics are horrendous. The fact they'd do this at all says they're in deep over their heads.

Watch this guy find his HD after years on the landfill and BTC be less then it was when he lost it 🤣👌🏻

I didn't sell any BTC, but I got both. They're both good, there's no need to compare them. Because we're both in it to make money.

BTC is a decades-long bet, if not more. It will become better GOLD, or not, AI works today If you want to make money - invest/trade AI If you believe in the BTC vision - buy BTC You may ACCIDENTALY get rich too, but that's not the main point

Dividends and interest are not getting paid in BTC

Family in Europe insisted that I use PayPal to send graduation money and pay the fees instead of sending BTC, USDC, EURD, or even GOLD. I told them to ask my nephew about their preference, but was stonewalled.

You will realize Mt Gox FUD has no bearing on price. It always comes out when BTC is going down

They should just take BTC as payment!

Merrill Lynch quietly added my ability to buy IBIT in my IRA this month. Either we just stop building all of the infrastructure around digital assets and watch blockchain fail and BTC go to zero, or this is the final capitulation before real adoption takes place and major legislation defines its role. Telling banks and AI agents that crypto is over seems less likely.

Post is by: Devexperts and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1twm3k7/is_crypto_a_leading_indicator_right_now/ Over the past week crypto has traded lower to test some longer-term support levels. BTC is at the 200-day and trading in a range last seen in 2024, ETH is a few hundred dollars away from last year's lows, and smaller alts like ADA and SOL are at levels last seen in 2020 and 2023, respectively. Considering the relative lack of volume accompanying this recent move down, are you scouting dips, or awaiting capitulation-style price action? What crucial levels or indicators are you watching, and what are your red lines? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Definitely. BTC's intrinsic value is 0, but gold isn't worth its exchange price either

This is basically the lesson every cycle teaches, but most people only learn it after selling too early. When headlines are euphoric, everyone feels safe buying. When headlines are ugly, everyone suddenly wants confirmation before touching BTC. By the time the confirmation comes, the easy part of the move is usually gone. Not saying people should blindly ape in, but negative sentiment alone has historically been a terrible reason to sell Bitcoin. If your thesis changed, sell. If your emotions changed because Google News looks scary, that's usually the market doing what it does.

BTC and crypto was created by Governments and secret services to keep the masses stupid. It’s a pyramid scheme desguised. It is a bed time story, that people believe like fairy tales. But again people also believe Covid was real, 9/11, the fact that Saddam or Ghaddafi had atomic bombs, the fact that terrorists kidnapp or bombed inocent israelians at a festival, when in fact everything was orchestrated by governments, Mossad, CIA etc. Fear the Lord!

Bitcoin is a TERRIBLE store of value. The network itself is useless (7 tps), no one wants to hold BTC when you can just buy gold, and Bitcoin is ossified which is a great concept for physical gold, but a terrible concept for a piece of technology that you can't even upgrade making it susceptible to all sorts of attacks. Real nice store of value you have there.
