BTC

Few-Engineering9803

11 people agreeing with me is not exactly the end of the world for other opinions. My goal in life is to be financially independent, BTC is currently doing that part. I don't see the problem.

Substantial-Suit-926

If you could stake your BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE and get rewarded regardless of percent gain wouldn't you? Anything is better than nothing, surely

JeremyLinForever

Did you know that this could work the other way around in a bull market? There can be a massive short squeeze for MSTR when the BTC bull run comes, and instead of selling MSTR they can literally take their USD reserve and instead of buying BTC they can buy back their own stock and cause a 10-20x mNAV squeeze.

“Bitcoin is dead” doesn’t land very strong when BTC is also $60,000/coin.

-bit-thorny-

Liar. But anyway. Ping me once you're selling your BTC for shitfork-coins. I can't wait to get another 30% free bitcoin from dumbasses. Just like last time.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Great CPI news which means rate hikes are likely off the table. Trump now reversing his decision on charging 20% fee on ships, so it's the start of the TACO on the latest escalation. All this right after some very bullish Clairty Act news of Trump wanting to push it through congress. What a perfect combo for a pump! We're gonna finally re-test $67K and maybe get back to $70K right? ....and BTC is somehow still crabbing around $64K, since June. And $65K got rejected for the 3rd time.

robomartin

It does undermine crypto as a payments system if when you ever interact with a wallet that isn’t your own (sending or receiving) that you get flagged. May I ask, do you send the $40 from Binance? Or was it from a personal wallet? I do think it does violate terms of many exchanges if you send funds to a wallet you don’t control from the exchange, but I wonder if you have to be weary of ever doing it from a personal wallet too. It is concerning. You could pay a vendor from a personal wallet some BTC, and that BTC somehow goes further downstream into something illicit, or vice versa you are a vendor who accepts BTC, but that BTC is tainted. And suddenly you’re blackballed from any exchange.

Oo*of!* ***Roughly 30% to 35% of all circulating Bitcoin (about 6 to 6.9 million BTC) is in addresses with exposed public keys. These coins are vulnerable to future theft by quantum computers utilizing Shor's Algorithm.***

I am using their card for almost all spendings and I'm receiving 4 % cashback and free Spotify and Netflix. I like it very much but dont see Cro as an Investment. Therefore I regularly change the Cro cashback to BTC.

PeaceAgitated1978

Even if the earth is destroyed Bitcoin will still exist. It's my bet. Since people like Elon musk know very well that the best place ever to run any AI or BTC miner is in the space. Cooling is like a huge part of energy spent in the process of mining or computing in AI.. space is a endless heat dissipator of the highest level ever achieved. Therefore yes Bitcoin will exist in space.. as much as any major AI will also.. it's one of the greatest play at it in the short term to invest in Space X.. the AI race and the Space one will fusion and become the same.

jojothehodler

The tech Then the idea of lots of money Then the thrill of the game Then the tech At this point the tech is all that matters. Our freedom is being fucked from everywhere, hard. Only BTC tech gives me the feeling of freedom....thanks to the tech.

PrettyQuick

It's 100% real and the beautiful thing about blockchain is you can easily verify it is real. Small solo miners can and have hit blocks. What is not real is YOUR claim that it can hit blocks reliably. I don't think anyone who shills these things states that tbh. It's called the BTC lottery for a reason.

Equivalent-Respond40

That a solo miner reliably makes $200K with $150 equipment, it’s all marketing BS as old as BTC itself

TheCurlyHomeCook

I'm bullish but still the 30k crowd wasn't wrong. They just haven't been right yet. BTC is either gonna go up or down from here and not one of us knows which, no matter our conviction, hopes or time in the game.

If anyone on Reddit knew what BTC was doing in October, they would be posting from a superyacht. Stick to DCA.

That ETF MSMR has nothing to do with BTC. Have some respect for accuracy.

tedusam

Wall Street just wants to make money with BTC via ETF funds. It doesn't matter if the price goes up or down they get their juicy fees. I don't believe they're accumulating BTC for themselves, with the exception of a few BTC treasure companies.

DefinitelySaneGary

This is what AI gave me. You would need to do math based on what your specific device and internet connection gives you. Your odds of winning a block are determined strictly by your share of the total global hash rate. The calculation goes:\(\text{Your\ Odds}=\frac{\text{Your\ Hashrate}}{\text{Total\ Network\ Hashrate}}\)Global Network Hashrate: The network operates around 800 to 900 EH/s.Bitaxe Hashrate: A typical Bitaxe Gamma or NerdMiner device outputs about 1 TH/s.The Result: Your mathematical probability of hitting a block on a single attempt is roughly one-in-a-billion.2. Daily and Yearly ProbabilityBecause the Bitcoin network processes a new block roughly every 10 minutes (about 144 blocks a day), your chances compound.Daily Odds: Around 1 in 1.5 to 6.5 million, depending on your specific device's output.Statistical Average: At 1 TH/s, the statistical average means you could theoretically find a block once every 10,000 to 15,000 years, though probability does not guarantee a waitlist.3. Has It Ever Happened?Yes. Although the odds are astronomically low, solo miners using these $150 to $300 devices occasionally hit the jackpot, bypassing massive commercial mining operations. Several hobbyists have successfully mined full blocks through solo pools, earning payouts of 3.12 to 3.14 BTC (worth roughly $200,000 to $280,000 depending on the coin's price).

BrokenHefaistos

Why are BTC'ers such pussies ? It was supposed to be invented to prevent this, to offer a safe haven...but seems it became the thing they sell to buy cheap stonks.

Technical-Expert-289

I'm glad we're finally talking about this, you guys need to be more responsible. Theres loads of bitcoiners including myself who are more knowledgeable about the economics of BTC and the technical side of things can be a total black box. By censoring discussion you were pushing us toward the pro bip110 opposition, and of course you all looked like the bad guys for refusing to censorship

PJacouF

Use Kraken Pro (pro is free but has more complicated interface and lower fees). DCA into BTC and just wait for couple years. You don't trade, if it falls buy more.

jessy3214

For me it did, i had to pay alot of fees to receive overseas payments before thru banks with swift wire transfers, now with BTC i’ve been able to receive payments in minutes and with the lowest fees i could ever imagine, its been 6 years and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Fearless_Cover8486

yes, nothing to do with BTC. someone just nicked the name.

Xennenial

Quantum computing poses as somewhat of a threat to crypto, but not nearly as much as the FUD shit talkers claim. Bitcoin is the only coin where it can shake things up because other L1s have dev teams constantly working to make them more quantum resistant. And as far as BTC is concerned, quantum will not be able to hack the ledger itself, but it can crack the keys to outdated wallets. This is an important distinguishing to make.

Fit-Poet6736

just buy BTC and ETH and put it in a Nexo account, very simple to use and pays out daily interest on your holdings

Jondoc72

Remember guys, we are very early. Right now prices will be volatile, sentiment will be low. But all new technologies starts the same. Just check when the engines replaced the horses or the early days of the internet. BTC still needs years to go. I did my homework and learned a about the fiat system and BTC, I read a couple of book. I am an early adopter, still I have money in the traditional fiat. If u look close there is no fixes for the fiat system

DrEtatstician

Let’s be honest to ourselves , if BTC stays at current levels , imagine the huge opportunity cost we are missing by not investing in AI Stocks , trend is where money is ( whether it’s hype , sustainable etc doesn’t matter )

deltamark_btc

from the price desk: the equities carnage and BTC's price action are telling separate stories right now, which is the part worth tracking. GEMI/BTGO were spec bets with thin moats - they're repricing to what they're worth as companies. BTC mid-$60s on thin volume is completely unresponsive to both the carnage and the TradFi headlines. different instruments, different catalysts. the tokenization taskforce is real. it's also a 3-5yr infrastructure build, not a near-term price catalyst. markets price catalysts, not thesis correctness. so you can be completely right on the macro read and still lose on the trade this year. on the private vs public chain question - most tokenization use cases that actually require auditability are landing on public chains with access controls layered on top (Ethereum mostly, not BTC, not private rails). if that pattern holds there's a legitimate token accrual case. if TradFi goes full permissioned/closed, then it's an ideas cannibalization story not adoption. that's the variable worth watching, not the press releases.

Any_South_6437

sorry, I'm just trying to learn, and there are many people just like me who are confused from all of this. we do have a vote though, and we are all free to cast that vote on the team that we think deserves to win. I do have a few questions specifically for you -bit-thorny: can you explain to me, or at least give one example as of what you yourself can't do if BIP-110 becomes mainstream? instead of telling how it affects other people either directly or indirectly through proxies, how does BIP-110 affect you directly? also, how did big blockers lose all their BTC a decade ago? and is the same thing about to happen with BIP-110? and who are the people who lose their bitcoin if this is the case?

GIGAbtcHodl

The less BTC you have, the louder you are :)))

GIGAbtcHodl

Everything will be built on electricity, including currencies. This is what makes us believe BTC won't go anywhere

PleasantAd7956

worth noting these two assets aren't in the same legal bucket. the ETH goes into a separate stockpile that explicitly allows disposal, so that one selling isn't surprising. the BTC part is weirder though, there's a 2025 executive order that put seized bitcoin into a reserve specifically saying don't sell it, so this at least brushes up against that unless it's pure custody reshuffling. we've seen "just custody" claims not hold up before (jan samourai case ended up at zero balance shortly after), so guess we'll see if this one's different.

bittenbycoin

BTC market was $58k and about to break down to who knows where when they announced they are allocating $1.2 billion of bitcoin for sale. The BTC market steadied and even rose after they sold a couple of thousand BTC. The market steadying like this offers another piece of evidence that the amount of BTC they hold, effectively almost 850,000 under one key, is distorting the BTC market not in the best way (and no, blaming the previous slide because they sold a couple of dozen a few week earlier was definitely BS.). Sorry but 850,000 bitcoin held under effectively one private key is not the way bitcoin was designed, and the market will continue to pound those who try it (and the rest of us) into submission, or at least the evidence is mounting that this is the case.

-bit-thorny-

Big blockers who already lost all their BTC a decade ago: "we are back with another random change that we pinky promise will solve all your problems!" Experts (and basic logic): "It doesn't do what it claims and it has shitloads of downsides and outright dangers." You: "even if it doesn't do anything to stop spam, so why not just let it happen?" Like wtf? After you had several hours of personal handholding by one of the biggest experts and several others? Spend your time rereading the answers you got already instead of asking people to explain it again.

I’m not bagging on dude but I got in in 19 or likely 20’ myself and learned quick don’t f with ERC20 tokens (gas prices).. and dumped all other but BTC a year plus ago- leaving only about .75 of a BTC - avg cost 29k

AidenFested

"Remember when everyone thought they'd get rich of Bitcoin" seems way more likely. Allow me to explain why Bitcoin is over - it won't go to zero but it won't be hitting 100k anytime soon, if ever. In order for the price of Bitcoin to go up, new people have to come along and put money into it. Individuals aren't going to really move the needle, you need large institutional investments. Those investments are just not happening anymore, especially at the rate they had been a few years ago. BTC and block chain tech is last years (last decade really) tech; AI is the new king. Basically no one is coming along to dump huge amounts of money into BTC anymore; they're not cashing out but "too the moon" is a joke.

quintavious_danilo

You don’t need information on BTC, what for ?

Peach_Lover_101

My "all time" is break even only due to selling MANA at the top (80x, my only real successful crypto trade). Should have sold everything back then. round tripped the rest of the pile twice like a retard. though if you held about half of your stash in ETH and BTC you shouldn't look as bad as that. The Coinbase bag is mostly dinosaurs: BTC, ETH, LINK, XRP, XLM, ADA, HBAR. Got more adventurous plays on Kraken and Coinbase wallet which honestly, I'm afraid to even look at.

If a quantum attack were to occur, the S&P 500 would plummet 1,000 times faster. You clearly lack technical knowledge of software and cryptography if you think BTC is going to be a problem, lol — it’s literally the last line of defense on the internet!!!!!!! That’s why they use it as a benchmark for quantum advertising.

Possible-Class5969

Para sa kin hindi pa bottom. Wala pa yung max pain. Kapag ramdam na yung max pain yun na bottom. Isa pa madami na nagsasabing bottom na si BTC at 60k. 50 percent pa lang yan from 125k. Whales get attracted to go all in kay if at least 70 percent drop not just 50. Yan reason bat walang malalaking engulfing bullish candle sa weekly. Ang totoong bottom yung 70 percent or more na bagsak tapos tska madami magsasabi mas may ibababa pa price pero actually yun na yung bottom na hinihintay nla. Not now na ang dami na nagsasabi na bottom at 50 percent drop. Pag madami na dn nagsasabi ng interest kay BTC that's actually the opposite. Isa sa mga signs ng bottom pag madami na magsasabi ng Bitcoin is dead, yan walang dudang bottom na. Unlike now madami pa dn nagsasabing bibili pa sila madami Bitcoin.

Crypto_4_Cash

Damn bro. I read this entire thread, and all I can say is that I feel your pain. In 2019 i got got because of interpol cracking down on WSM/DM. Lost about 250 BTC to seizure. But btc was a lot more expensive. I think we paid 12.5k per coin for the vendor deposits at the time. We thought we were on top of the world. 3 months and 300+ sales in, we thought we were unstoppable. Little did we know, but 200+ of those sales were to the police. I never touched the drugs, or the shipping. Let's just say I was in "customer relations". Damn BKA sentenced me to 7 years probation and over 30k (plus 16k for my lawyer) in fines. All in addition to the massive amount of BTC they confiscated from me. Shit happens. You live, you learn, and if you're smart you never repeat your previous mistakes. In march my probation is over, and I can finally completely move on from that terrible point in my life. I can't wait! Congrats on getting through your troubles, dude! Good luck with all your future endeavors.

BTC 25k next step. Going down big the next couple of months.

blaivas007

Bitcoin is not regulated directly by a central figure. It can try to regulate it via third party actors (CEX, for example) but the reality is that if I wanted, I could freely use my BTC however I want and nobody can do anything about it (short of illegal scifi level CIA hinderance). That's the whole reason why crypto is so popular among criminals. As for the *idea* behind Bitcoin in 2026, well, everyone has their own opinion, hence why you objectively cannot say the person you responded to is objectively wrong. There are far more reasons people would want crypto to remain unregulated than just to commit crimes. I'm sure you can think of some.

Good_Extension_9642

And the irony is now we think why didn't we buy any in 2015, it was between $320 - $463, our excuse was "I didn't know about it then". In 2035 when BTC is over 1 million we'll think " it was so cheap back in 2026 at 60k"

Itur_ad_Astra

The only way to make money in crypto is if you have zero belief in it. Treat everything like a shitcoin, short pumps, realize that even BTC is a shitcoin that will be dead in a few years anyway, and you can make some money.

Post is by: UseTranceAi and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1uvoygp/over_315m_in_longs_liquidated_in_24_hours_bitcoin/ The crypto derivatives market had a rough Wednesday. More than $315 million in leveraged positions were forcibly closed within a single 24-hour window, with long traders absorbing the overwhelming majority of the damage. Bitcoin slipping below the $60,000 support level was the match that lit the fuse, and an over-leveraged market provided plenty of fuel. # The breakdown, by asset Bitcoin led the carnage, accounting for $152 million of the total liquidations. Of that figure, 92.91% were long positions, meaning traders who had bet on continued upside got caught badly offside. Bitcoin breaking below $60,000 was the proximate cause. Large transfers of Bitcoin to centralized exchanges in the lead-up to the event added selling pressure, as on-exchange BTC typically signals that holders are preparing to sell rather than hold in cold storage. The mechanics of what happened next are worth understanding. Perpetual futures liquidations do not happen in isolation. When a position is liquidated, the exchange sells the underlying asset to cover the debt, which pushes price lower, which triggers the next round of liquidations. The $315 million figure reflects where the loop settled before buyers stepped back in.

Fettiwapster

Should BTC be an inflationary hedge?

Ruzgarkanar

Trying to time the perfect entry is almost impossible, especially in crypto. What I personally find more useful is tracking multiple signals together: BTC trend, volume, sentiment, major stock market movement, and overall risk level. A single chart usually doesn’t tell the full story. I’m currently building a tool called AlphaWatching for this exact reason — an AI-assisted market tracking dashboard for crypto, stocks and funds. It’s not meant to give financial advice or “buy/sell” calls, but to help people follow the market with less noise and more context. I’d be curious what you guys usually check before entering the market. Price action only, news, sentiment, macro, or something else?

AccordingFloor7010

The problem with that analysis is that fiat currencies are falling / failing / diluting much, much, MUCH more slowly than fiat cryptos.   The US dollar will go hyperinflation,  yes, but that can can be kicked down the road another decade or so.  The useless-as-teats-on-boar-hog fiat crypto BTC can can only be kicked another few weeks to few months before tanking, maybe a year or two at the most.

AccordingFloor7010

That's true.  But the instant that MSTR declares that its invoking that fine print and choosing to not pay preferred dividends (which is coming fairly soon), the price of both common and preferred's will immediately tank, and all confidence is gone, triggering that death spiral, which will lead to BTC dropping to $15 - 30k ish within less than a quarter, maybe even a bigger drop.  I think EITHER one of these scenarios WILL trigger the death spiral:  a declaration of non-payment of the full dividends just one time, or the BTC price staying below $60k for more than 10 days to 2 weeks.  If BOTH happen, it's "Katie, bar the door...."

Scholar_of_Yore

True, but that is a questionable reason to keep BTC of all things. Realistically everyone should have learned by now that the goal of this is to buy and sell it for a profit. Nothing more. Besides, even if you do use it for another purpose you would still, eventually, sell it. You have to be dumb to actually think he would literally never sell it. Even if he somehow meant it he is not gonna be in charge forever.

Adonael

I don't know which altcoins you're looking at, but I'd recommend you CoinTrends for finding altcoins that hold up best/worst during the BTC dip/sideways action. It's much easier to do and see outliers than to what you're currently doing with tracking all of the coins manually. E.g. here I selected the start of the BTC dump and current time. I filtered top 100 coins, but you can play with the ranges and filter out top 50, top 20, or if you like shitcoin territory you can select range between 200-300. (those have thinner books that you described) Try it out and let me know if you like it. https://preview.redd.it/kjooxjjrp1dh1.png?width=2275&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bcb358c795faad2cf59337d80825a4f931d80d2

Adonael

People telling you you can't make money at this market are lying. Of course you can. But it's much more difficult and to be honest, current game is just to preserve your capital as much as you can, before the next bull run happens. What I've been doing is shorting alts that have shown good strength in comparison to the rest of the market (especially when BTC dips). Then I short them on round numbers (e.g. 5$, 10$, 20$) or when the coin is near ATH. I use CoinTrends to find outliers, but I never buy worst performers, I only look at top performers and short them. (Currently I'm in DEXE short, shorted on 47.5$)

Thank you Mister Avocado. I don't disagree with anything you say. I just can't cope with it. I did not understand coin control at the start.

TennisRugbyBoxing

There is no logical reason for it to go to $200. Needs millions of speculators to come in on blind faith and push it up. All while the smart money liquidates. Remember the old poker saying ‘if you don’t know who the mug is around the table it’s you….’. Same for BTC - unless your an insider your the mug! Just because you get lucky a few times does not make you an insider. You know if you are, and if you don’t know, then you are the mark, the mug…..

They raised that cash by diluting more shares of its stock and from its sales of BTC. So the title is a bit misleading. They did in fact sell over 3,000 BTC to raise that cash.

Romanizer

Bitcoin is a (nearly) zero-sum game supply-wise. The goal is always to increase your BTC holdings by as much as possible and you can only do that if others are selling. If everyone just held their Bitcoin without trading them in, we wouldn't see bear markets. So some people see it as opportunate to try to get others to sell so they can load up more.

gushkaper

That's fine, BTC didn't have its last ever bull run, more to come once this bear is over

ShardsOfSalt

You paper handed people need to relax and dump the coin and stop looking at BTC.  It's not good for your mental health.

Free_Entrance_6626

Drama wise it also seems much lighter than FTX saga or Mt. Gox even. The only thing that would increase the drama is if, for example, Strategy files for bankruptcy or is sued by the government or something. That could send BTC into the 40k range later this year.

MrKillerKiller_

Yes. Alts are simply a BTC profit sweetener on those select moments BTC pumps into big sudden profits and holds sideways for a boring amount of time. Otherwise they just sit there oscillating and constantly sweeping lows on low liquidity. Bull run, crypto winter doesn’t matter to alts. Its all simply a BTC play.

__redruM

I started with SMH in 2024, and continued to buy through March of this year. I buy lower to medium risk and hold long term. Basic passive investing.

Yea I agree. There were a lot of "firsts" in 2022. If BTC is going to 0 like the doomers say, it would have done so in 2022 or earlier. This time around, I think the bottom won't be as low as people think.

Adventurous_Mode_369

I started investing in the last waves of the 2023 bear market and had a pretty good buy in of \~$20k/BTC. So all I know so far is …. green, even after this pull back. So, for me, all is good and i’m loading up at these prices, hopefully staying green forever.
