BTC

Once you receive liquid Bitcoin and you send it to a new address, do you send it from liquid back to a regular BTC (non liquid) address?

Automatic-Cap-1718

I’m more Sol, purely to send to Trezor, compound gains, each week I have a set amount and the shrapnel goes into BTC, eventually when I have my Sol target all gains will get sold ok highs & rotated into BTC on drops even if I lose a little on the Sol rewards as I wait between Sol pumps & BTC drops

universe_pound

That’s a strong thesis. I think the next cycle could be much more selective—BTC/ETH absorbing institutional liquidity while a smaller group of real-utility, revenue-generating alts outperform and low-quality tokens fade.

Traditional_Most105

If i wanted to buy BTC i'd buy and i might have bought some... but saying something you might as well back it up.

Frosty_Builder7550

Nothing is a 4 year guarantee anymore. Not even the Olympics or a new American president, let alone BTC

whataboutbenson

I don’t want to tell you not to buy SOL, but to me it seems to be quite a shoddy chain. It’s had a lot of down time over the years and I think the team are not very discerning about what the chain is used for, eg scamcoins. I just don’t see it having a very long term future like I do BTC or ETH. The price may very well go up in the next few years though.

-Lomaximus-

Thats unfortunate. I had a generational wealth amount of BTC stolen from me by myself. I had 4400 BTC I bought at 12 dollar. I sold at an all time high then of 26 dollars. Having doubled my money I never thought any more of it. Worst mistake of my life..

whataboutbenson

BTC is the only one worth owning tbh. I have ETH as well but it doesn’t perform.

Previous_Valuable873

XMR is the only true crypto. Look at it's performance compared to BTC in the last year. SOL, ADA, ETH, all joke. https://preview.redd.it/z0kuiwftykjh1.png?width=1099&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9da501148f3ec0c39d4ea88e0bcd00c5530b000

DiamondHandsDarrell

This is probably why Fidelity and other exchanges end up closing people's accounts. Been with coinbase over a decade and sold 100 BTC and no problems. Yet many with less than 1 BTC complain that they've been locked out.

Porcellanidae

I would say that it depends entirely on how one obtains the BTC. Recently landed in a discussion around this as well, this was about the Coldcard case. Wherein the hackers created new seeds, which appeared to be stuffed already. There was no PII stolen, so I dont think that current legal frameworks consider this theft.  Check the thread here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vffs6m/comment/p1or6n4/

Ss_priest

You don’t sound like you want SOL, you sound like you want a reason to stay 100% BTC. That’s not nothing. If the ETH position already doesn’t excite you, adding a third alt you’d have to babysit might just be more to manage, not more upside. SOL’s a real network with real usage, but at 75-80% BTC and “not in a rush,” the simplest answer is usually the one you keep.

CompetitionFederal99

Some of them maybe, BTC has way too much insitutional adoption and nation state use and interest at this point. The entire financial system is moving towards a blockchain / tokenization model. So crypto may have been the first iteration of a the new upcoming system of finance, and lot of coins and tokens may go away eventually - but look at the real world use case of the Solana system, institutional BTC, it's changing for sure, but not going away.

ubermensch1001

I'm assuming you meant to reply to me here. This is exactly why I lean towards just being 100% BTC with the remaining funds and locking in those sats. I already have solid positions in both ETH and ADA, which I've been holding for a long time now, so I have plenty in the alts.

HearingOne2761

No lies detected. Solana got nice tech and fast transactions but when the cycle turns every alt gets sacrificed at the BTC altar. I keep small bag for fun but I would not put serious cash there if you already heavily in BTC and ADA

ubermensch1001

There was no alt season in 2024/2025, all of the alts did poorly. You could make a case that this was because of monetary policy, Ben Cowen has even started discussing this and both of us have compared it to the 2019 summer bull market, where it was primarily BTC driven. With this out of the way, I lean towards just being 100% BTC with the remaining funds that I have.

Django_McFly

Why not *neither*? LINK never got back to it's 2021 high. SOL got back there for like a day or two then quickly crashed. LINK was ~$50 peak in 2021, ~$25 in 2024... 2024 is with more oracles being used and Chainlink looking brighter than ever, just like now. You'd be lucky to get $15 bucks if the trend continues. ADA is an even worse story. It's like you look at diminishing returns every cycle and are assuming *the last cycle is probably the floor*. Imo that's a super gamble. You could bet on the 999,999/1,000,000 or the 1/1,000,000. If you don't stop being silly and take that easy 999,999/1,000,000 bet... None of those tokens are at attractive prices for risk vs just buying BTC imo. I'm not even a BTC maxi but LINK and ADA are like confirmed dog shit. Hoskinson was throating Trump late 2024 and the token still couldn't get within 50% of the 2021 highs. Sometimes the best thing to do if you MUST do something crypto is to buy some stablecoins 1:1 and get your little 4 to 8 % in defi. Or buy BTC. Or just pick the stuff that's winning rather than going out on a limb for darlings from literally two cycles back.

OkProject2361

Everything but BTC.

DeepNRadish

You are supporting my point. 100M is nothing for 1T asset like BTC in 2026. Its number of bitcoins not the USD value.

ubermensch1001

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. I actually considered getting ETH but really not that excited about it compared to just buying BTC. SOL I think has slightly more upside potential relative to ETH with regards to it's BTC pairing. Really leaning towards just 100% BTC though with these funds.

ubermensch1001

This is why I am leaning towards just taking all of these funds and buying nothing but BTC. As mentioned, when I look back on my many years in this space I overall would have been better off just buying BTC, especially in bear market years.

ubermensch1001

Stuff like this is kind of why I lean towards just buying BTC. What I like about Solana is the fact that it has staking rewards AND because it has a lot of interest from tradfi institutions. For instance, it's one of only 3 offered on E-Trade, other 2 being BTC and ETH. Not saying there won't be others, but it's obviously a relevant player.

tidemp

For better price execution. It's not feasible for average people to buy BTC anonymously. If you do, it'll cost you a premium. And for most people, it's pointless

Investor-seasoned

Since you are so confident that the price will rise so much, I assume you have all your funds in BTC. If the price doesn’t reach your prediction, you will already have suffered enough

Remarkable_Wish_5106

They want the gold, not BTC.

Eternal_Guilt

You hit me right in the feels. In 2012 I spent 83 BTC on LSD. In 2023-2025 I spent 83 BTC on 3 hookers and a lot of cocaine and nice restaurants

Otherwise_Train_5408

Why not borrow against the BTC??

ToddlerInTheWild

Folks wanted crypto to be the earth-shattering tech that AI is…But it’s not. What problem does crypto solve? It was just the most recent fad of penny stock speculation.. that’s all any of the coins were outside of BTC. But IMO, even BTC is toast in the long run.

TecBrat2

I made a small profit on Shiba. I have won and lost on BTC a few times. Right now I'm down about 40% because I was buying during the Bull run and bought too late. I'm not going to sell it while it's down. I'll let it ride to zero if I have to. It's lost money to me. If it ever comes back, that's a nice bonus! (It's not very much, so it's not going to break me if it goes to zero.) But, to more directly answer your question, I'm afraid it could, but hopeful that it won't.

blaziken8x

BTC is cheap right now, guy when there is fear, sell when there is greed. Think of the investment in long therm, at least 10+ years.

No-Gap-8601

Congrats, very smart to exchange some BTC for an actual house that you and your family will use and enjoy every day.

Ar0war

you are clearly new to this and you lack basic knowledge. I recommend you to research a bit more information The halving is basically there because Bitcoin needed a way to create new coins to incentivize miners, without having someone in charge deciding how much to print. The block reward started at 50 BTC and gets cut in half roughly every 4 years: 50 → 25 → 12.5 → 6.25 → 3.125, etc. Eventually it gets so small that it effectively reaches zero, with the total supply ending up at around 21 million BTC.

Klutzy-Sea-4857

SPX is a pure meme with no utility, just vibes and wishful thinking about flipping the S&P. Can it pump? Sure. Can it dump 90%? Also sure. If you want gains, put around 10% in memes and the rest in BTC/ETH. Do not yolo your entire stack into a meme late in the cycle.

Klutzy-Sea-4857

You bought BTC and ETH, those are not getting delisted. What altcoins did you actually buy? It sounds like you chased pumps. DCA into BTC and ETH only, forget the shitcoins, and wait 2+ years. Crypto is not hard, patience is.

SolonEunomia

BTC is not money. Where would people get the USD to lend to the US government? And what does the Fed do with the proceeds?

Appropriate-Talk-735

Keep buying BTC, the bull market is imminent.

EducationalBasis2078

I would have sold my wife and kids before selling my BTC😂

No-Average3202

Honestly I'd put Bitcoin in its own category. Everything else, including ETH, SOL, whatever's fighting for the "ETH killer" spot this cycle, feels like gambling to me dressed up as investing. BTC is different. It's been through multiple cycles at this point, there's an actual track record, and it keeps coming back. I'm personally 100% BTC for that reason, no cap. Real question isn't "will it come back" tbh, it's "do you still believe in this stuff or not." If you don't believe in the alts anymore, sell and move into something you actually believe in, no shame in that. If it's BTC you're holding, it's just a waiting game at this point. Don't rush it, winters don't last forever. I've got full confidence we see new highs on Bitcoin again. Can't say the same for the rest of the space though.

Remarkable_Wish_5106

A financial advisor buying a BTC ETF for a client is not institutional money, that's still retail. Institutional money does not own crypto assets. Please show me what Blackrock or any other big money management allocating to crypto?

iloverunning11

It’s already -50% and everyone’s grandma is able to invest in BTC now so you have a lot of speculators involved. The fact that hack which is much different from all these other situations has not moved BTC price much yet means nothing

Project_Demosthenes_

☠️ do you even know how price mechanics work? This is what people said about BTC for the last 17 years too btw. 🫠

BestialitySurprise

Selling when BTC is low to buy a house while house pricing is high. I would definitely not buy a home in this looming depression that's around the corner. Much better to wait for prices to come down and interest rates to drop. BTC isn't going back up anytime soon but this was a very bad time to sell. Even if you sold at $100k+ I'd be yelling at you for buying a house today. Bad investment.

sheilarenewaldayspa

“Dumb ass kids and this wife thing I got hanging around”. It’s good you don’t talk about your BTC that way. Keep your values straight. /s

cowboy_shaman

Easy. Don’t daytrade BTC.

JimmySki6166

Absolutely correct! My buddies that have new BMWs or Mercedes that cost them crazy money they don’t have, are scrambling monthly to pay their mortgages! I laugh! I have a newer paid off Jeep Cherokee, and the would have been car payments go to BTC weekly and monthly!!

_Underscore_Unders

"Dumb ass kids and wife thing" Your family is blessed. You clearly have more prominent issues at hand than your love affair with BTC.

arBettor

"Outperformed BTC 3 years in a row and outperforming this year too" You're high on your own memes. BTC outperformed it in 2025, and BTC's outperforming it in 2026 too.

FireNurse2105

WHY? You are a year from significant price appreciation and they have LEGIT banks lending against it at likely a lower rate than a home loan would be. If I had 10 BTC that's what I would have done personally. But at least it's for a solid asset and family, that means you got what you needed from it. (Well probably should have held 1. Imo)

Efficient_Range1156

I’m already loaded up, but I’ve got a sports car I don’t really use so that is currently on the market, as soon as it sells I should net .5 BTC. Wish me luck.

In 2018 the average person barely knew what crypto was which made them all potential future crypto holders. Crypto had growing room, a massive market of potential buyers that could be converted by the eager and excited crypto evangelists spreading the good word. A LOT has changed over the last 8 years. Now literally everyone knows what crypto is. And when they think about it they generally think of scams, rugpuls, deranged volatility ect. When they compare it to stocks they see the S&P going Up Up UP and Eth being below where it was 5 years ago and BTC basically where it was. It looks like dogshit. Think of public awareness and sentiment as a recourse that can be spent. You only have so much of it. When the market is unaware then you get a steady influx of new suckers. Once every single person in existance knows, and has a bad impression, then you have spent this resource. This is why your cruch of "but we always came back like we did in the past" doesnt help. The only way for this to continue is if we find a stargate to another planet filled with humans who haven't heard anything about crypto, even then it would be hard because they could do research on the history and then the corpse starts to stick in the sunlight again. "It’s like saying after the stock market crashed, that stocks had their time." If every single stock in the stock market was essentially the exact same thing, based on the exact same technology, just with a different meme name and bullshit whitepaper making stupid ass claims, but otherwise having 0% value. **Then yes we could see the entire stock market crash and never come back**. But the reality is that the stocks on the stock market are for the most part extremely diversified (Bubbles being the exception) companies generating real value in the world. Not some smoke and mirrors white paper wrapped in lies like 99.9% of the shitcouns. You know this to be true.

Your ridiculous advertising for Happy WTF app is nauseating. As if you have some secret formula that forecasts BTC price moves. Really, why aren't you working for Fidelity, Blackrock or Michael Saylor? NOBODY can foretell BTC going up, down, sideways or when. The people that can? They're called liars. You're one of them.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

The type of answer i am afraid of. Safes at banks have been robbed as well dude. Just use a passphrase. The whole conversation and your arguments are irrelevant. If they target you you are in a world of trouble whether your BTC is safe or not.

Traditional_Most105

But you can't guess whats going to happen next based on the past. BTC diminishing returns could be positive as it might become more stable and less volatile and it might affect all altcoins but maybe thats positive too. Cause all useless altcoins will lose liquidity and the most useful ones, if identified early with research could prove to be winners acompaned by BTC. Cause there are already multiple coins created everyday which means liquidity is spread a lot. And by BTC being more stable overtime then liquidity will move to BTC and the most useful coins which will diminish the spread of liquidity to lots of scam coins and other useless ones. So we could be moving from the era of altseason to the era of BTC acompanied by 10-50 quality altcoins with real usage.

Miner rewards will half the fees will increase and BTC price will increase

bjm3384

If you are getting into BTC for the most part, definitely get into mining. Your investment works for you and churns out BTC daily with very good ROI. You’re letting the mining process do the buying for you and then you can sell the miner later on. I think this one one of the best things out there for BTC maxi’s https://gomining.com/?ref=MINEWITHPURPLE

You'll never know what will happen if the whole stock market crashes. BTC would crash in parallel because people have to come up with collateral for their leveraged exposures.

Pessoal da comunidade BTC. Eu também estou abalado com os últimos acontecimentos envolvendo fraca entropia em palavras semente de carteiras fria. Já não tenho certeza se a frase "Sem suas chaves, sem seus Bitcoins" caui de vez. O mais importante: não são falhas do Bitcoin, são negligências de humanos ao projetar dispositivos para carteiras fria. Monte sua própria carteira fria com um pendrive. Não dependa de dispositivos de hardware de empresas (que contratam funcionários que não consideram a entropia de senhas). Dica: Eu uso Tails + Electrum (multisig - para maior segurança).

BTC at 1k again would feel like 0. Of course it will not go to 0 or 1 again.

1UpUrBum

It's too bad that you cut off most of the indicator at the bottom. Which I assume is the RSI. It doesn't matter because they all work the same. Divergence only works in short time frames. Relative to the time frame used to make the chart. Once price starts trending, which is usually after 3 cycles, then RSI, all oscillators, don't work any more. BTC shows that in the last bull cycle. All it shows is it's not going up as fast. https://preview.redd.it/rg7ewz1ufjjh1.jpeg?width=1585&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e32e779216db8b2b561ae37eb4a80c31e2d62f0

Hype is literally the only altcoin worth owning because its the only altcoin that makes serious revenue and actually uses that revenue to buyback its token. And its the only altcoin that has been making new ATHs against BTC and every other coin in a BEAR market.

💯. I think the most "slept on" tech right now is Post Quantum Cryptography. ( Quantum cyber security). We are not far away from mass adoption of Quantom computing. It's pretty terrifying that the recent hack on cold card was not Quantum related. Look how easy that was. If BTC is going to survive the coming years they will "HAVE" to use a PQC on their nodes. If not, it could cause one of the worst financial disasters in history. The entire equity and crypto markets will have to use PQC software. It's not a national security issue. It's a WORLDWIDE security issue.

You can't compare NFT and crypto. May be memecoin, but is the trend totally over ? BTC, ETH, SOL, damn, even XRP, but there is way more, are still alive, no matter the downtrend. NFTs were a shortlived trend. Bear markets are frightful moments. It is temporary.

Gotta love BTC people, they were all screamin 1,000,000 by now. Today they’re crying to get back to 100k. It’s not even a crypto. It takes forever to use and lightning payments are dumb if you have stable coins. It has no usage other than assets in the stock market. Hence why it will always stick around but never again be a hype train like it was

>you bought a house from crypto They sold their BTC at 9% more than they paid for it, so only 9% of the house was "from crypto". And that 9% was accumulated over 10 years, so just 0.9% per year, which is a terrible ROI.
