BTC

Bulky_Description579

Most home miners are paying 10-15 cents, which is why it never works unless you're just doing it for fun or using it as a heater. So the question becomes, if you want to mine (not just buy BTC), but you don't have access to 2-cent power... is there any realistic path? Or shouldn't bother unless you own a power plant? Because if the answer is "you need industrial power or forget it," then mining has effectively become institutional-only. Which isn't great for decentralization, but might just be the reality now.

After I get to 2 BTC, I'm going to max out my ROTH IRA for 2026 ($7,500). I plan on buying Coinbase, MSTR, Amazon, Google, Netflix, and take a long shot on SMCI and BMNR. I actually started today with a GOOGL buy and Im holding a good Netflix buy. Not much (GOOGL), just a placeholder for now. But, I will most likely be buying into 1)Google, 2)Amazon, 3)MSTR, 4) BMNR, and a sleeper pick is SentinelOne.

Unable_Illustrator_2

I feel ya. But, I think a screenshot helps. Plus, maybe someone on the fence will finally wake up and buy BTC

Unable_Illustrator_2

I can just invest in Raytheon. I dont need to sell my BTC to do so.

adiabatic_storm

BTC daily volume is often tens of billions

maddhy

Not the decentralised ones like BTC and ETH.

Unable_Illustrator_2

There is an upper limit for me because: I only have so many resources. My job only pays so much. Therefore, I can only afford to buy X amount of BTC. I have a good job that pays well, but I have student debt and my hourly wage is capped because I'm in a union as a technician. So, I only have access to barely 6 figures. I have bills and a wife to boot. I can only do so much. At this point, I've put in 1yrs pay into BTC ($110k), I think that proves I am a believer.

epic_trader

BTC decentralization is a joke. 2 mining pools control the network, 1 company produces the majority of the miners, essentially only 1 client.

Unable_Illustrator_2

Right! So, my plan is to obtain 2. Then, once BTC hits like $150k-$200k, I will sell 1 for lifestyle upgrade(s). But, I still have 1 coin left so Im still in the game for retirement. I want enough so that I can sell and actually realize big gains, but also still have a decent BTC holding. That's why I want 2.

Post is by: SmartBunBun and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rltvrf/why_isnt_bitcoin_pumping_despite_billions_flowing/ Something I can’t quite figure out lately. Over the past few days, spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly absorbed around **$1.4B in inflows**, yet BTC price barely moved. Normally that kind of demand should push price higher… right? A few explanations I’ve seen floating around: **1. The ETF creation mechanism might delay price impact** Authorized participants can sometimes **short ETF shares first**, then buy BTC later to create shares. So the buying pressure doesn’t always hit the spot market immediately. **2. Liquidity is already extremely concentrated** The spot ETF market is now around $130B AUM, but BlackRock’s IBIT controls \~57% of the trading volume. That raises the question whether flows are actually diversified or mostly cycling through the same channels. **3. Macro sentiment still dominates** Bitcoin has been in a pretty rough stretch recently, with months of losses and persistent fear sentiment, which might be offsetting ETF demand. Another interesting piece is that Morgan Stanley is reportedly preparing its own Bitcoin ETF entry, which could add another large distributor to the ecosystem. But I'm not sure whether that actually changes anything. So I'm curious what people here think: **Why isn’t BTC reacting more strongly to ETF inflows?** Is it: • ETF mechanics • macro sentiment • market makers hedging • or something else entirely? Would love to hear different perspectives. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Why not just open an account on another exchange? You could move funds from the one you already use and buy BTC there.

dromance

honestly the explanation is I just need some quick small amount of BTC :) running a scam for $25 is silly!

partymsl

Miners gonna continue being exposed as BTC rewards keep getting cut, they will need a more sustainable business model that isn't completely dependent on BTC mooning every single year.

MegaSackk

Sweet, 2 BTC inbound!

romeoosso

No, the fundamentals of crypto have changed the last couple years. 10+ years ago, people were buying BTC on the idea of what it could be in the future. That future is here and we're about to pass legislation that will realize cryptos potential, and add onto that that people are tired of waiting. That's why markets feel so on edge right now. It's a reflection of where people are at mentally.

Hot_Confidence_7834

Same thing happened to me - kind of. I got 30 from the faucets back in the day, totally forgot they existed, then when the Mt. Gox exchange got raided by the FBI I saw BTC was trading at $800USD/coin, was like “Whhaaaattt??? I have 30 of these!!” And sold em all like an idiot… whoops….

> I totally agree with DCA strategy No, you don't. You're doing the exact opposite of DCA. Dollar Cost Averaging doesn't mean "buying at different times at different price points"; it means REGULARLY investing a fixed amount, because one never knows if that day's price is higher or lower than future prices. > Is it not a lot more sensible to have a kind of ‘fiat fund’ for DCA, pay the funds into that and each time BTC has a shocker, huge red day, everyone crying, it’s all over, which happens frequently, you put all of your accumulated funds in then, rinse & repeat. You’re still doing exactly the same DCA into BTC but you’re generally maxing your lower average. No, you're not doing "exactly the same DCA". You're not doing Dollar Cost Averaging at all. You're trying to time the market. Your strategy presumes that, for any given day, there will be a future day when the price is temporarily lower, and that you should **keep your investable capital on the sidelines waiting for that day.** Let's say you put your strategy to work today. You have $100 per week in investable capital available to you, but because today isn't "a shocker, huge red day, everyone crying, it’s all over," you don't invest. Maybe tomorrow isn't either. Maybe the market makes modest moves--2% up, 3% down, 1% up, 1% up, 1% down, 2% up, etc.--averaging +1% over the next 26 weeks. Now it's September, and there's a HUGE RED DAY: the price drops sharply from $92,000 to $85,000. You jump on it, investing the $2600 you've stockpiled since March, grabbing 0.0306 BTC at a "discount". But if you had invested $100 weekly, the advantage of **buying before the runup that you didn't see coming** could have netted you 0.0325 or more, outweighing the discount that you pounced on too late.

Key_Bee_682

Good question. The 0.32 is against MSCI ACWI (global equities), not US large cap - the US-only figure is slightly higher at 0.35. That distinction matters because the international component dilutes the correlation. Data source is daily returns using BITO from its Oct 2021 launch through end of 2025, with IBIT spliced in from Jan 2024 when it became the more liquid instrument. Daily frequency does tend to show lower correlations than weekly or monthly - that's a fair criticism. Monthly data over the same window gives something closer to 0.38-0.40 depending on the window. Honestly 0.32 is a bit generous to Bitcoin's diversification case. If I used 0.40 the optimal allocations would come down somewhat, but the directional finding doesn't change - the correlation is still low enough relative to the return premium to improve the efficient frontier. On gold - the full optimizer on Portfolio Lab actually includes gold as one of 27 asset classes (J.P. Morgan has it at 5.5% return, 16.7% vol). In a full unconstrained optimization gold does appear alongside Bitcoin. I kept this article to the simplified 3-asset + BTC model because it's cleaner to illustrate the point, but you're right that gold adds further diversification - its correlation to Bitcoin is only about 0.15.

locotxwork

Thank you for the source and explanation because I was like "Damn, people are struggling just to get 0.1 BTC and you're flaunting 6.15 BTC like it's nothing, that's so demoralizing because some people will never ever be able to hit that mark" Good shot. At least now know if I get 3.075 BTC I can get riches and nice sized titty stanks. Life goals.

Popular_Pilot2161

Good strategy. You could also just increase your DCA amount by a certain % each time BTC price moves down x amount.

gobbler_of_scran

leave some for the rest of us , but seriously how is there enough liquid BTC at this point for them to keep buying??

Promises evaporate faster than BTC fees after a bear market. This is why we're non-custodial. No wallet access. No fund handling.

It absolutely can! You aren't locked into just one currency. I've programmed it to be flexible so you can track BTC in whatever fiat you prefer.

TheresNoSecondBest

It all started in 2019 by the Twitter persona known as AmericanHodl. It was in response to this tweet from CZ, the CEO of Binance. He suggested that owning just 1 BTC would place someone in the top 0.3% richest people in Bitcoin terms. https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1165533865554804739?s=21 The response was that “If you own 6.15 BTC, you are guaranteed to get eternal riches and big titty bitches."

Local-Builder-4698

Chill the fuck out, in previous cycles fake bull runs were common. I am not saying that it's not a good time to buy right now because maybe it is ( imo it is ) but BTC is very likely to drop further.

ErrareApusEst

Yes, they paid around 1.7k USD per BTC mined…

Pleasant_Delay_1432

I get what you’re trying to do, basically normal DCA but scaling the buy size when price dips under your average. I’ve looked for something similar before and honestly not many platforms support that exact logic out of the box. Most people end up doing it with bots or just keeping their normal DCA running and placing extra limit buys below their average. Some derivatives platforms like Delta Exchange also let you set conditional orders based on price levels, so you can automate buying when BTC drops to certain levels, but it’s not exactly the same as conditional recurring DCA.

Dalhia_Moon

Consistency is key! $60 a month into BTC is a great way to build a position without the stress of panic selling.

Which is why you will probably never hold 2 BTC.

All Telegram channels are scams (yeah, I did that thing you said not to). Everyone is looking for that "hidden gem" leg-up instead of just buying and holding blue-chip coins. History shows that simply holding BTC and ETH has outperformed most altcoins and most active traders over time. The real "hidden gem" is to go long-term into something like BTC and ETH.

I see, why I ask this partly , sometimes I need to buy things so once I see profits I take it but the initial sum of BTC I never touch remind the same. A lot claim it don't work in fact I lost more profits in long run?

If you want to “earn daily” from BTC you’ll make a total mess of it. You’ll likely fall for a pig butchering scam. If you absolutely need regular cash, check out the dividend paying bitcoin etfs.

Desperate_Jacket_876

this whole process that we just went thru was pretty bad, the fact that it ended with a waterfall of panic with huge volume is proof of that. It takes a while for market participants to become interested again, BTC just broke out of to the upside of a range so thats a start. Alts will join eventually to some degree

Oh so that's why BTC pumped, you know they all filled their bags off of this insider info.

Inevitable_Pin7755

In theory it sounds good, but in reality it’s very hard to do consistently. You’d need BTC to keep moving up regularly for there to be profits to skim. Most people who try to take weekly profits end up either selling too early or buying back higher. That’s why a lot of people just hold long term instead of trying to extract small gains. I actually write about simple investing and Bitcoin in my newsletter Wealth Rewired if you’re curious. Link’s in my profile.

GIGAbtcHodl

summ_app

BTC -> A burger & Fries? may be friend, may be. That's a transaction right there

bitdcaOFFICIAL

That sounds like a pretty life-changing milestone to be honest. Clearing $1M after tax while still keeping around 10 BTC seems like a very solid position. Would you plan to keep the rest long term no matter what, or still adjust if the market gets crazy?

u_spawnTrapd

I think a lot of people say they will never sell, but when you actually hit your number the mindset usually changes. If the goal was financial freedom, at some point you probably have to convert at least some of it into something that actually pays for your life. Loans against BTC sound good in theory, but you still need cash flow to service the loan and survive a nasty bear market. That part gets glossed over a lot. Personally I think most people will end up doing some mix of holding, selling a bit, and diversifying once they reach that point. Pure never sell feels more like a meme than a long term plan.

pommesUNDwurst

It's the same story. Every time. It gets exhausting. Only because BTC had two green days in a row, doesn't mean we're going to an ATH any time soon.

Aggressive_War_2103

This means that market makers wants retail to buy BTC so they can sell and create the last dip. This is just noise taking into account the crypto bear market that we are in. I don't think we saw the bottom yet, this will be just a bounce. No one knows what it will happen shortterm, but that is what I think at least. I believe that we will have to revisit the 50k's at one point, sooner than later, during this cycle. Until then, I am not doing dca...

AwareChair6095

Unless you need the money urgently, I think you'd be better off letting the BTC sit there untouched for a couple of years.

Asleep_Cry_7482

“Never sell” is ridiculous… I mean what’s the point of holding if you’re never going to take my profits My strategy is I trim my position when it goes up and top up my position when it comes down. If say BTC was to drop to $35k, I’d probably double my holding. If it was to rise to $150k I’d probably sell half of it

scintillatingsin

I have a little over 20BTC and want to sell half and clear $1m after tax, so around $160k

I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE

I've been selling. It's not the price, it's your holdings and how much they're worth. If can live off of my BTC, why wouldn't I? No more shitty jobs, I can watch my kids grow up and be present for them. It's a no brainer.

emiltanem

Problem is average Joe was too dumb and didn’t grab his chance. Many mid-level smart-and-rich people did and now they have so much it is damaging the development of BTC.

l_Pulser_l

Anytime the price broke above the logarithmic top of the rainbow chart. IDC what any BTC maxi says it will return back into average or less and rebuy then.

Abject-Stretch-1187

No it wasn’t buddy. I don’t need to be a 4yr cycle believer to know that a bounce was likely after 5 months of red. And what do you think happens if the new fed chairman ends up lowering rates or more favorable regulation occurs? Do you think the price action would give a shit about cycle theory? Also if BTC is moving with the stock market then it also throws a wrench in your belief. Be careful is what I’ll advise because there will be a lot of sideliners 

spb1

Why do people think that because BTC changes in value that's just how it's going to be forever now? Yes it's gone up. Also, it'll go down. And go up

Stake_son

Speed is one thing, but 'settlement finality' is the real king. Unlike bank transfers or apps that can be reversed or delayed for days, BTC (especially via Lightning) is done and dusted almost instantly. Many platforms use it specifically because once that transaction hits, it’s yours. For international or high-frequency moves, it’s still the top choice.

KFC_Tuesdays

The bear market thesis also has a point in the downward movement called a fakeout that happens every cycle, when many people think “we are back to bull” it’s typically when it falls off a cliff even harder. Where in BTC history have we dropped move than 50% and recovered immediately in less than 3 months? It’s never happened… we are in a bear market and compared to previous bears it’s going to be a slow bleed to the bottom wherever it might be. Don’t forget upwards and downwards movement needs to go the opposite way before continuing its trend.

Stake_son

It's all about the 'S-curve' of adoption. Most millionaires are still in the traditional mindset, but the generational wealth transfer is changing that. Once the scarcity hits home for them, 1 BTC will be the ultimate status symbol. Great shower thought!

mrjune2040

Personally I stagger my sells over a long time period (I’ve sold at multiple tranches between 10-120k), part of that is to reduce tax liability by breaking it down over multiple tax years. Once you get to a large number it’s rational to de-risk and diversify. When that number is big enough maximising ROI is secondary to retaining the wealth created, and ultimately if your cost basis is so low (as it sounds like yours also might be) the difference in selling at 70k or 120k is actually pretty negligible to your quality of life. That said I intend to keep selling over the course of the next decade and potentially beyond, I always want to retain some exposure to BTC.

Bluejumprabbit

Historically, gold and oil spike on the initial shock then stabilize as markets price in the new reality. Crypto is different because it reacts to both macro fear and liquidity conditions at the same time. During prolonged tension, BTC tends to decouple from risk assets once the initial panic selling is done. The bigger question is what central banks do in response. If they ease policy to cushion economic impact, that's actually bullish for crypto long term. The correlation with gold is getting stronger each cycle too, especially with tokenized gold making it easier to rotate between the two

JMeucci

I'm sorry you are going through this with your ex. Very likely you have been scammed by them or someone pretending to be them. First thing you should do is ignore EVERY DM you are about to or have received. They are trying to scam you even more with "I can get your BTC back" or offers to help with the transaction. All scams. And to answer your question OP, no. You don't have to send BTC in order to receive it.

DependentSherbet3461

Took me 2 full “cycles “ to realize BTC was not the one to be stacking roi wayyy to low … retail has been priced out of making any real generational wealth since $1

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

I think a lot of people imagine they’ll never sell, but once you actually hit a life changing number your mindset probably shifts a bit. At some point the goal of money is to make life easier, not just sit on a chart. Loans against BTC sound nice in theory but they add another layer of risk. If the market drops hard you can get forced into a bad spot fast. Personally I think a balanced approach makes more sense. Maybe keep a core amount long term, but slowly sell portions when it genuinely improves your life. Hitting your number and never using it feels a bit like missing the point.

Bobster_O

If your capital is mainly tied in stock brokers, perhaps a simple ETF like IBIT, ETHA would be an easy way to get exposure to BTC and ETH. Crypto stocks like COIN, HOOD works well for exposure too. They are solid companies in the crypto space.

Odd_Fun5012

If you reach your number in bear market, maybe better to take loan against the BTC instead of selling and getting destroyed by taxes 💀 just need stable income stream to pay the loan back, but that's tricky part when you trying to retire 😂

82_AK

Not sure if I have courage to hold almost 2 BTC and resist temptation to sell it.

Nice-Can-1581

1st of all, 90% portfolio should be in good dividend stocks. Then you can gamble 10%... Sorry risk manage rest of it however you like. Cycles? Fuck it. If BTC price <30% from ATH, buy 30% of the gambling budget. If price <50% from ATH, all in. GL at the table.

Die Volatilität hängt vor allem damit zusammen, dass es sich als Zahlungsmittel etablieren muss. Wenn ich irgendwann meine ganzen Euros abgelehnt habe und dann was kaufen will, dazu dann aber am Ende einen Gutschein kaufen muss, sodass der Händler es in Euro umtauscht, dann bringt das auch wenig. Ziel ist es, einen Kreislauf zu entwickeln, in dem man BTC nicht mehr gegen Euro verkaufen muss.

**You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket.** 6.15 BTC is where you want to be.

Six months to get 1 BTC is a strong DCA 😆 But I agree the overall advice 👌

aspee38

I had a boating accident and lost all my Bitcoins, but if I were you, I'd keep buying. The idea is to DCA, not just buy once. If you can buy that much BTC at once, your lifestyle is clearly above average, so you should stack more to match it.

financeguruIB

BTC is king buddy. With that kind of portfolio you can afford to buy a whole bitcoin. If you want to buy alts then look into TAO(Bittensor) same fixed supply as Bitcoin.

Short-Cantaloupe-899

Interesting summary. The 4-year cycle pattern has definitely been one of the most persistent structural patterns in BTC, mostly because the halving keeps creating supply shocks that ripple through liquidity cycles. One thing I’ve noticed though is that while the **macro cycle structure tends to repeat**, the **short-term path inside the cycle is extremely noisy**. Two bull cycles can look similar on a 4-year chart but behave very differently week-to-week depending on liquidity, macro sentiment, and volatility. That’s why I’ve been experimenting with separating two layers when looking at BTC: **Structural cycle context (multi-year)** Halving → expansion → distribution → reset. **Short-term statistical forecasts (days / weeks)** Trying to estimate the probable path inside that macro regime using market drivers like volume pressure, macro indices, volatility sentiment, etc. What’s interesting is that when you run short-horizon models (like 7-day forecasts), the market often moves **against the intuitive “cycle narrative” in the short term**, even when the longer-term trend stays intact. So I tend to think of the cycle more as a **macro backdrop**, while the actual price path inside it is mostly driven by shorter-term market pressure and liquidity conditions. Curious if anyone here has tried combining **cycle phase + short-horizon statistical forecasts** rather than relying purely on the cycle projection.

It’s not as safe as the original BTC blockchain network, but of the 2nd layer solutions, probably the best and closest to the original one.

>Surely you would've rather bought that Bitcoin at 5k or 20k instead of buying it at 103k and waiting for years of lost opportunity cost to maybe make it back? Of course but I didn't for multiple reasons (focused on other stuff, didn't see BTC as a serious investment for the longest time). If your point is I could've waited for a better opportunity to buy rather than at 103k then yes with the price being ~70k right now that's obvious. Would I have delayed buying in if I had more knowledge of the space? I don't know. My plan has always been to hold long-term (min. 4-5 years) so I wasn't that nitpicky about it. I still disagree with your original point that you need to actually use crypto to understand how to make a profit off it. I don't think there's any correlation between utility/technology and what the price of a token is.

BTC don't give a *shii*

Solid approach. For a 3/5 year horizon with an 8/12% allocation I'd suggest. 1. Bitcoin (BTC) Core holding digital gold institutional gateway. 2. Ethereum (ETH) Smart contract leader deep liquidity ETF potential. 3. Solana (SOL) High speed growing ecosystem institutional traction. 4. One infra play like Chainlink (LINK) or a major L2 like Arbitrum (ARB). 5. Possibly a small bet on a macro play like Ondo or Maker if you want RWA exposure. DCA in on pullbacks store in self-custody and rebalance occasionally. Welcome to the circus.

I think BTC probably will go to zero over the long term. The idea that it will be worth something in the year 2100 is ludicrous to me. In the mean time, happy to play the game of PVP chicken for profit taking.

I am. At 60% spot long, 40% short MAR futures, I win more on up days. Shorts are very far from liquidation: BTC intraday short liquidation $145,641 / overnight $126,224 ETH intraday short liquidation $6850 / overnight $5588

So if everyone waits until October, do you believe BTC will wait until October? Or do you suppose smart money front runs that prior cycle timeline?

Millionaires, for better or worse, in one way or another, figured out how to accumulate a lot of fist. Even though they could benefit significantly from BTC. they don’t need, or it’s associated risk and volatility to stay wealthy… I hope to lap some of them and leave them in the Fiat dustbin.

Wow congrats man, getting to 1 BTC before 21 is insane. I’m pretty new to investing, I only have about $150 in BTC that I bought during the dip and it’s been going up a bit. Want to keep stacking sats slowly. Where do you guys usually keep your BTC? On exchanges like Binance or do you move it to a wallet? Just trying to learn the safest way.

Congratulations on this major milestone. However, let this be the last time that you ever divulged, in public, how many BTC that you have. I remember when I reached a whole coin. That was the best feeling of accomplishment. Even better than when I reached 5, 10, or even 20 coins. Cherish the feeling. Keep on stackin.

BTC, ETH, SOL should definitely be your core holdings (BTC being the heaviest). If you want to add some altcoins, stick to ones with actual fundamentals — exchange tokens like BNB, HYPE, that kind of thing. Skip memes and honestly most coins that bring zero real value — 99% of them will still be sitting near their lows long-term.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Trend flipped bearish months ago. BTC is literally just doing what is has always done.

Could be that they only now decided BTC has a future now that they see it rising. It’s not a bad time to buy if you believe it will go up way past where it sits now, and plus, when you DCA you don’t care about price.
