But literally every other blockchain has 100x more block space than BTC. So BTC is precisely the worst for messages. And precisely the opposite of what Satoshi said is the purpose of Bitcoin. Furthermore there are things like IPFS and immutable social media blockchains that excel at storing data. Whoever fed you this crap about messages on BTC is a Maxi retard. They're just trying to keep the BTC fees high when hardly anyone is using it. I suppose you like ordinals and rare sats too? It's for dummies.
Go look at the BCH/BTC chart and cry
Yes, it's possible, and I ran it. The answer isn't what you're hoping for, but I think it's more interesting. I pulled every output at the burn address and filtered to your two windows. **14 July** (blocks 957,922 to 958,076): 137 outputs, **0.0445 BTC** total. **28-29 July** (blocks 959,902 to 960,172): 589 outputs, **0.15321171 BTC** total. So 726 transactions across both avalanches, adding up to **0.1977 BTC**. Not 100. Under a fifth of one coin. Here's the part worth knowing. I decoded the OP_RETURN of all 726 of them, and 724 start with the exact same three bytes: `X2[`. That's `0x58 0x32 0x5b`, which is the Stacks 2.0 magic prefix — someone else in this thread spotted that too. The remaining 2 have no OP_RETURN at all and are dust. That's not a person. It's the Stacks proof-of-transfer protocol doing automated commits, and those consistent 20k/30k/40k sats amounts you noticed are the mining bids, not donations. The "avalanches" are just periods when the Stacks chain was busy. The rest of the payload after those three bytes is binary consensus data, which is why it looks like garbage when you try to read it as text. So the German message and these hundreds of transactions are two completely unrelated things that happen to share an address. That one was 546 sats and a sentence. These are a robot paying its own bills. If you want to check any single one yourself: bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction <txid> 1 Look at the `vout` entry with type `nulldata`, and read the first three bytes of the hex. `58325b` means Stacks, and you can stop reading there.
Only an ignorant person or a person only interested in price would say that. Obviously BTC is much more visible since it got the branding but BCH attracts people and builders and it builds the base for a worldwide p2p cash system, while BTC infights over Apes on chain and doesn't scale a single bit. >Until then, it's all moot, isn't it. Yes, but don't cry when you are late.
Good question. The 5 BTC was accumulated over time with the idea of paying debt with the gains along the way, which happened. It’s the wanting to make it back after repaying the debts that caught me.
Dude you lost. I gave you the option to drop this braindead take and you missed it. If you go by adoption than go back into the warm, convenient lap of the dollar, because this adoption dwarfs BTC and BCH. But we are here for sound p2p cash and only BCH provides that. So we do what Bitcoin already did once: Start from low adoption and grow it. What good is BTCs "adoption" if it is only about holding and selling it later for, maybe, more dollars. It's the anti-thesis to Bitcoin.
Dude, I literally sent you the prove. Forks don't create new chains, they create forks or branches. >Fork(s). Hundreds of them. I appreciate your concession that your preferred and arguably irrelevant fork obviously isn't the same as the original. You know I'm talking about BTC. Segwit, taproot and all that shit where not in the original chain. >So we'll agree to disagree that bitcoin cash is the True Successor to satoshi's vision It is one successor and objectively the one keeping closest to Satoshis idea of Bitcoin as a p2p cash system. >. Imo you failed to make a compelling case Nope, you are just a very dishonest conversational partner
I too did the same bought BTC and then took profits and with it bought more crypto . The difference for me was it was new and as my portfolio dropped and my stocks were taking off, I sold all crypto and bought stock. Never too late to reboot!
Can't argue with the Cramer indicator. But the quantum part is still worth paying attention to, regardless of what BTC does next. I've seen a few projects already working on this, and QVM is one of the more solid approaches I've come across.
If you had money to accumulate 5 BTC, then why didn't you use that money to pay debt first? Then you could have accumulated thereafter.
If you’re closing your business and having liquidity problems you probably shouldn’t be DCA into a speculative asset. My btc is < 5% of my portfolio. I will probably keep it under 3%. I keep more in cash than that. I do BTC/cash/metals instead of buying bonds. This way my stocks are 99% growth and riskier.
Mullvad VPN. BTC + BCH + XMR + Lightning
That's why Bitcoin Cash. It's the coin Satoshi started, it has the potential to rally everyone around a second push for p2p cash after BTC got hijacked.
I think this represents the thing that person likes BTC. 69 and 420. Clever in my opinion!
I will wait for 35k€ and then will buy 0 BTC because I am dumb af but actually know how to invest and I’m patient so trash like BTC is a no no
Dude I mined 5 BTC or something when I was a kid on my PC. Ended up wiping it several times for video game space. This shit has happened and will happen over and over. That's the thing about volatile assets, no one knows shit about shit and anyone who says they do are either scamming you or just talking shit.
lol makes no sense. If BTC blockchain is to be used for messages, the blocks should be bigger.
No. Each fork retains its total supply. For instance, when the BCH fork happened, people who had X BTC prior to it ended up with X BTC on one side and X BCH on the other side of the fork. The new BCH could be accessed (and transferred/sold) using the same private keys, independently since it lived on a new blockchain (and, as a matter of fact, many/most people eventually sold their BCH). Of course, this is only possible as long as the other chain hasn't died off already, cause in order to transfer the coins that live on the forked chain, it needs to be actively mining blocks (and there must be someome wanting to buy those coins, clearly).
They probably should've changed the difficulty adjustment algorithm. This was all just an exercise. BTC price went up. I guess confidence increased as the fork neared. And maybe Iran bought more BTC, lol.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Taproot is utter shit to begin with, as is every other new Core "feature" for the past 5 year. Enabling tracking of BTC outputs is not a feature most people want. Covenants could be cool but nobody will use them. Tiny blocks are retarded to begin with and Segwit is 20k lines of technical debt shitcode. Lightning nodes getting haxxed left and right. So yeah. Keeping Core on their toes is exactly what happened. There are other devs who can change the course of BTC development. Toothless Luke is obviously a terrible example, but the point was made.
We're not talking about just cold storage mishaps, all BTC lost from self custody. Your list only added up to a little over 1.1M BTC. Even the low estimates of self custody losses are 1.5M.
There is a persistent customer service issue with financial institutions, especially in cryptocurrency, that goes beyond actual regulations. There is a lot of activity that just isn't serviceable on exchanges anymore. If you're using cryptocurrency as actual currency, for example, you're almost guaranteed to get your accounts closed due to blockchain analysis. All it takes is someone who buys the alpaca socks you're selling to pay you with BTC with a 5% taint from a mixer, and bam, you're permanently banned from Coinbase. It's a big issue, actually, that using bitcoin how it was intended to be used will almost certainly eventually get you barred from most of the major exchanges.
Exchanges want you to leave your money there because they get to continue making money off of you. Every time you buy or sell, any time you use any of the interest-earning features, and it also increases the value of their company generally when they have more assets on the platform. Both deposits and withdrawals are operationally expensive for the exchange. Users who send money or crypto to an exchange, trade it, and then withdraw are at far greater risk of having their accounts closed compared to a user who just leaves their money there. Users who deposit and withdraw without trading at all will almost certainly have their account closed at some point. None of this suggests they are running a Ponzi; it's just the business model of the exchanges. If they charged users 1% for deposits and withdrawals (some major exchanges, like BTC-e, have charged users in the past for deposits and withdrawals), this might change how they're earning revenue.
Post is by: lol2019lol and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vjuqe5/scalping/ Hello everyone, I’m new here and I’m considering starting scalping. I’ve been advised by reviews to focus on scalping BTC and ETH rather than day trading stocks. I plan to start with $500 and gradually increase my investment. I’m not aiming for massive returns; a few dollars a day would be perfect. I’ll limit myself to two trades per day. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach. What tools and resources do you use? I’ll be using BTCC.com since I’m Canadian, and other apps haven’t been recommended by people or reviews. I’m not planning to purchase anything at the moment. Thanks for your help! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Most people loose money when trading. I advise you to start studying BTC and DCA monthly, it is not late for you to succeed. Just bitcoin, forget the shitcoins.
No, BTC hit its last ATH after the halving. Exactly in Q4 of 2025. So yea, once again proving cycles have continued to follow the same pattern.
Hey man, aren't stocks pretty much always at ATHs? You could have made the statement "stocks are at ATHs" pretty much any time like last 10-15 years. I have both stocks, etfs and crypto. (plenty of XLM too, but I'll still shill BTC and diversification)
Blue pill, even if I couldn’t buy any BTC. Imagine how much you could make on sports betting
I held from 2021 to 2024 while being down 50-60% for a couple of years and today at the alleged bottom of the bear market I'm still plenty in profit. (BTC can drop even more, I don't care). Hopefully if you're at least holding some of the top 20 cryptos and not some random shit, you should probably be fine when BTC starts going up again.
Congrats im at 0,071 BTC at the moment an stacking more as much as i can
Never think about what could have been, because you'll always think about the best possible scenario and not about the realistic scenario that would have happened. I could have won like 10+ mil eur on a lottery, but I only got one number correct and missed every other number by 1. Silly, hypothetical, best case scenarios will just give you anxiety. You could have dumped 10k into gold and almost 3x your money, you could have dumped 10k into eft following S&P 500 and 3x your money. you could have dumped 10k into basically any large stable company stock and doubled your money (lets say coca-cola for example). Heck, you could probably go back to live with your parents today (if you have good relationship with them I guess) to save on rent, and invest that rent money into stocks, gold or BTC at today's prices and it will probably be worth significantly more than it is now in 5 years.
In practice, I've had way more delays/issues on THORChain than on ChainFlip personally (mainly trading to acquire BTC). On a technology/market level, THORChain pools pair every supported asset with RUNE (a BTC-to-ETH swap effectively passes through BTC/RUNE and RUNE/ETH internally) when Chainflip executes swaps through its virtual just in time AMM (automated market marker) where orders are processed on its State Chain and settled using native assets held in protocol vaults. As I said before I had a better time on ChainFlip in terms of delays, and fees remain reasonable but I've mainly used them through ShapeShift which generally has lower fees than ThorSwap (and supports both chains, and more).
Have you seen the Tesla or even more bizarre, the Spacex "valuation"? 1 Million per BTC is a very conservative take.
>We need people willing to fight for BTC original idea. The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime. Because of that, **I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of**. The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time. It would have been an explosion of special cases. The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates. The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender's conditions are met. https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/126/ >The big miners are now fully centralized which makes the node runners less important. No bip would ever fix that, nor spinning Sybil nodes like the 110 gang did. Stratum V2 helps tremendously. >So if you want no one standing up for regular BTC holders rights keep it up and keep running down good people who do good things for the space. People spreading lies just to push their non working solution into Bitcoin are IMHO the opposite of "good people".
As I was saying, there are many consecutive transactions going back from July 29th that share the same message type as the one I mentioned at the beginning. Can you check on your node how much BTC has been shared since the famous 107 BTC donation? Is that possible? Those transactions share the same message format and seem to be related to one another. There are hundreds upon hundreds sharing donations of 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 satoshis, some of 60k and 80k, but there are hundreds, one after another. There is a huge amount of these transactions between July 28th and 29th, and another avalanche around July 14th, also sharing the same amounts and message format in the transactions. There must be many more than the ones I looked at, but there really are hundreds and my browser freezes when scrolling. I would like to know if it's actually possible to calculate the sum of all these transactions, because it makes me think that there really is a "German" who has burned 100 BTC across hundreds of transactions averaging around 30k satoshis.
"Fine-print lawyering" nails it — and I've got a live one right now. I keep a log of public BTC calls with their settle rules fixed up front. One comes due tomorrow 01:22 UTC at a level price crossed two hours ago; it's sitting 0.33% above the line with ten hours left to hold. At that distance the wording does all the work: which venue, close versus touch, the exact timestamp. The forecast is arguably fine either way — the criteria alone decide whether it goes in the book as right or wrong. Which is why I now write the settle rule before the clock starts and never touch it after. Doesn't make anyone better calibrated; it just makes the record honest enough to be worth measuring. Curious whether you see vaguer-criteria markets trade at a systematically wider spread. I'd expect sharp money to price the ambiguity in, but I've never seen it quantified.
Waiting for $75 is risky because MSTR's valuation moves with its BTC reserves and mNAV. Tracking this on my model (**BitPulse** \- www.bitpulse.digital), MSTR vs BTC sits at a **Z-Score of -1.19** (historical equilibrium/discount zone). BTC actually leads MSTR on a 5Y view (+41% vs +30%, R=0.930). If deploying $80k, I’d use a hybrid plan: • **30% now** (mNAV at fair value) • **40% reserved** for deeper discount (Z-Score < -1.5) • **30% dry powder** Focusing on mNAV bands beats guessing fixed stock prices.
If you read the main message, that transaction refers back to it, but a few days earlier—for several hours—there is a huge number of transactions, vast amounts of them, that share the same message type and seem to be related to one another. I made a brief attempt to tally up the total BTC, but there are simply too many
how is everytime the same? BTC hit an all time high before its next halving. But good luck buying higher though. I’ll sell when you’re buying at the top. lol
You literally just said: "more lost in self custody even with those." and I can't ask for your source?

Props for posting this OP, really took guts. I've been in BTC for less than a year and seen a lot during that time. Big runup to its ATH, followed by 50% crash and now this Cold Card mess. Your warning here is good Karma IMO. It's because of people like you I didn't fall victim to that game. By paying it forward here, good fortune awaits you.
>I do know that I’ve learned more about BTC from his channel than any other place on the internet. Then you probably have never seen u/andreama videos nor read any of his books. Look up "Mastering Bitcoin", "Mastering the Lightning Network", or "The Internet of Money". Or visit https://youtube.com/user/aantonop
i went through something similar but maybe more painful. I was able to stack more than 7 bitcoins during 2019-2021 period. I sold literally a week or two before it had the crazy run form 10k to 69k. I invested a lot during the period where bitcoin was still a lot more volatile than today (10-20% move during intraday wasn't uncommon), and during this time, there was zero regulatory clarity. Very very few people actually believed in BTC long term. It was too much stress for me and with pressure from family to sell, i gave in.
Welcome, and that's a better first post than most. I counted it on my own node, since you said you hadn't. That address is sitting on 809.42504341 BTC across 390,874 outputs. Nobody can spend from it, so that number is also everything that has ever been sent there. Almost none of it is big burns though. Only 9 outputs are 1 BTC or more, and together they come to 152.39 BTC, the largest single one being 40 BTC from back in 2015. The other 657 BTC is spread over 390,865 tiny outputs, and 10,912 of those are 1,000 sats or less. That's the message traffic people are describing above. On the 107 BTC someone mentioned: on my node all five of those landed in the same block, 950962, timestamped 25 May 2026 13:59 UTC. And the German one you found is in block 960524, 1 Aug at 06:46 UTC. It put 546 sats at the burn address. The input was 2,311 sats, of which 1,337 came back as change and 428 went to the miner. So the epitaph is real but the funeral isn't. Whatever the 100 BTC refers to, it didn't burn in that transaction. If you'd rather count it yourself than take my word for it: bitcoin-cli scantxoutset start '[{"desc":"addr(1111111111111111111114oLvT2)"}]' Took about 80 seconds here, and it hands you the total plus every single output.
Lol- and that’s exactly what I wrote. You’re reaching because I used the word ‘crypto’. We made more or less the same comments to OP, I don’t have time for BTC purity tests mate, get off your high horse.
Well long term BTC is most definitely not the only crypto that has utility, use, or value. You just played the short game and got spanked
Lucky me I did this mistake in 2017 when I bought my first BTC and tried to make more gains with alts and ended up losing everything and having my dust BTC worth more than everything I invested at the start
Alt coins are for hype only, they have no use case! Only a handful of crypto has a use case. I used to hold meme coins years ago, when I was new to crypto. Once I learned about it, switched everything for BTC only and I couldn’t be happier. Still purchase amounts of BTC weekly!!
BTC is store of value. Just hold onto it and don't touch it.
Same story for alts with me. Luckily transferred into BTC before most of them zeroed. Some were dead already. Lost a good bit and now stacking sats still and only. Need to diversify somewhere else still.. maybe some kind of mutual fund.
Meh- anything can be gambling, if you’re short-term trading BTC then that’s gambling too. Let’s not get caught up on some irrelevant purity test.
Sure, with the benefit of hindsight, but the grave of speculative assets that are now worth a fraction of their peak is far larger than the ones at ATHs or that will EVER surpass their ATH, and that could include bitcoin for all we know, meaning even now, BTC may be a terrible investment and you won't know for sure until you know for sure. It's gambling, welcome to the casino.
This isn’t even about BTC. That’s called a gambling problem. Anyone that has one or has the tendency for one needs to work that out before even thinking about touching crypto imo.
Kratter has admitted that he threw the towel in too soon. Not a deal breaker for me. I do know that I’ve learned more about BTC from his channel than any other place on the internet.
That “risk of not having Bitcoin” idea makes sense. BTCFi could add another layer to the treasury strategy if companies can put their BTC to work while still holding it.
Getting institutions to hold BTC was one step. I'm more interested in what they can actually do with it now, and TBVs are a great start if you're interested in what BTC can do beyond just price and holding.
If you started out with stating BTC and ETH was 90% of your portfolio my response would have been differenr
I get that, but I think the story is getting bigger than just buy and hold. There are now ways to actually put BTC to work, which changes the conversation a bit, like native staking....
Fair point. Though I'm curious whether BTC having more productive use cases could eventually change that dynamic.
What part of his strategy makes you see it that way? The buying is obvious, but I'm more curious about the influence he's had on how companies think about BTC.
I bought a pizza for 3 BTC
Honestly, I’m sitting on cash because I think the Clarity Act will be postponed. Then, in autumn, not only should we be near a bottom based on previous cycles, but the midterm outlook for Republicans should become clearer, following the “buy the rumor” principle. I’m thinking the end of September could be an ideal time to buy BTC and SOL, but I’ve been wrong about things before.
lol does it matter? BTC + ETH still like 90% of my portfolio and these altcoins are just optional profit, i really dont care if they are "red"
Do you even realize you can rotate your shitcoins into BTC? If you’re down 40%, all you need is for BTC to go up around 66% to break even, and that’s very likely.
You’re stuck on something you can’t change change and it’s preventing you from seeing the path forward. What you should do is ask yourself this. If you had a second chance and let’s say you could go back to that exact instance in time and you can change who you are ,meaning your personality, your perception of the world and yourself. However you cant go back with any memory of the present. What would you change? Life is all about opportunities and another one like BTC (or maybe BTC still is that opportunity) will present itself. If you aren’t brave enough or mentally prepared enough to take on said opportunity then of course nothing is going to change. Take your regret as a lesson and turn that into something you sear into your core identity and you’ll be ready. Trust.
Do you think BTC will go to the moon again papa?
Keep going man, greaty job! I know how hard it is to change from an (over)spender to a saver. One thing if you aren't already: Build an emergency fund. This is the "wall" between you, your retirement money and your BTC/other investments. Life if expensive and sh!t happens. Even $1,000 put you ahead of 75% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
lmao, dude, there’s a bunch of us here who were your age and heard about Bitcoin when it was worth peanuts in 2010-2011, never had a 10k inheritance to drop into BTC, yet with out meagre means and pocket money could potentially purchase a few 10s or 100s of coins and keep them until last November - except it would not have happened, we would have likely sold when it hit 100$ or when it hit 1000$ etc. Hell, there’s people in this sub who probably held actual thousands of BTC and traded it away to smoke joints. There’s no point in wallowing, we all move on.
We all wish we bought BTC earlier than we did. You missed a million other investment opportunities as well, like Nvidia. The good news is BTC is still here, the value proposition hasn't changed, and it still has a whole lot to offer as a savings vehicle (among other things). Make peace by getting a handle on your saving + investment strategy, whether or not that includes BTC, and feel good about where you're going, directionally. I wish I did a lot of things when I was 20. But I didn't.
Objectively speaking, if you knew the future, and I have calculated this, you could have made more than 1,000,000% on BTC all of its life.
Would’ve should’ve could’ve I feel the same lol. Start of 2016 my grandfather died left me just over 40k and my daughter who was 10 18k and she could only receive it when she turned 18 by the will. BTC then was still under 1k US and I um and ah abt what to do with her 18k wanting to put it in btc and Mrs wanted to put it in a term deposit,well we did what the Mrs wanted and i regret listening to her everyday 😩
You will miss thousands more opportunities in life. You cannot predict the future. It's the human condition. We could ALL have put that money into BTC back then. And a billion other things.
BTC isn’t a guarantee to come back… high chance it will go to zero
that's what people said last bear cycle. unless you are holding shitcoins just give it time. remember to rotate back into BTC and take profits after the next alt season
Look, BTC is BTC, and institutional money seems to love SOL for some reason, so I wouldn’t say a new ATH for SOL is unlikely.
If we are still here, we can multiply your coins in the next bullrun. Friends still downriding the last bullrun tell me tu f o, if I tell them the right time for buying will come the next 4 months. Same as they said, when I told them to sell eoy 2025. If you believe in crypto and are still here, no reason to not believe in the future imo. I ll just dca into BTC from Oktober till December and hope, it won’t go to zero.
I don't want BTC Core devs changing BTC at their own discretion. We need people willing to fight for BTC original idea. The big miners are now fully centralized which makes the node runners less important. So if you want no one standing up for regular BTC holders rights keep it up and keep running down good people who do good things for the space.
That’s exactly the two you should own. BTC for stability and SOL for potentially higher upside than BTC. It’s still not too late to switch from your current holdings.
Congrats! You can never have enough BTC. I’ve been purchasing amounts weekly for over 5 yrs. I have approximately 2.1 BTC. Keep it up!!
The fat-tail point is what I'd focus on here. BTC can spend weeks making the unlikely outcome look stupid and then completely ruin that assumption in a few days.
damn, the best thing I can do is it using BTC ETFs?
Thank you sir! Just hope all the other retards who visit fall for the BTC trap 🙏 😉
hahaha. Sure. If you can't figure it out and just follow Mr. Saylor and the other CNBC shills. You're the idiot! XD It's not a riddle, it's clearly what is happening. No utility in BTC!
Well... What did you expect? 1 dollars per module? He'd get ruined by bots... This was made by someone from the community.... It's nice enough of him to give away anything for free. Kaspa being one of the rare thing that isn't a VC pump and dump scam alongside BTC and XMR... He wouldn't be wasting time.
Please double check if the 100k also covers BTC, because it may not
It hasn't even started. It was never going to be BTC. BTC is a psyop!
Stopped reading at "Excluding BTC and ETH..."
No one burned 100 BTC here, they only burned 2311 Satoshi on this transaction.
Someone burned 107 BTC in 5 transactions on May 26/27 to the burn address you have mentioned. That RIP 100 BTC message is related to it, as the message dates back to a transaction from May 26.
Stacks protocol transactions used Bitcoin to anchor/record Stacks data, sending tiny amounts of BTC to the unspendable 1111...oLvT2 burn address, while the weird X2... strings were encoded protocol data—not messages or hundreds of BTC being burned.
But seriously, how does all of this tie back to BTC? What’s the connection here? 👀
Lmao. Look at this account. Three months old with 3.8k contributions. This Liberal bot is ACTUALLY a bot!!! DON'T BUY BTC FOLKS.
>The BIP-110 folks (such as Matthew Kratter) believe BTC is digital money and should only be used as digital money. BIP110 doesn't deliver on that promise at all https://forklog.com/en/slovak-developer-embeds-image-in-bitcoin-transaction-without-taproot-or-op_return/
Crypto debit card cashback is the next best thing i have found. Bybit gives 1% in USDC or BTC and ether.fi gives 3% in USDC. That’s not too bad actually.
BTC price has nothing to do with its success. It’s an exercise in human psychology and economics. Cryptocurrency has no value proposition. Why should I or anyone else not use FDIC insured banks? Why should any financial institution switch to cryptocurrency? Just like, why should I or anyone else switch from a DB to NFT for storing users’ digital items? You’re a smart person. Read what you just wrote 3 times out loud. It sounds ridiculous. No one cares about how you were configuring TCP/IP. Your comparing cryptocurrency to the Internet is outlandish. The Internet has value. It solves problems. There is unprecedented value in myself or others using it or moving existing systems to it. Same with cloud services. Cryptocurrency? Sounds like a cool thing for the sake of being a cool thing. It’s not the Internet. Get over yourself, and stop being an asshole to victims.
I did some Research in that - imho the big chains will be able to migrate - think ETH will be faster than BTC, in the quantum pure area I think QRL is the most serious approach but super small/niche
I would go with 80% BTC, 10-15% ETH and 4-10% LINK Maybe link and eth will not be used to tokenize stocks markets but im convinced that their chains will be used. That said I'm no expert, just a dude watching some stuff on the internet
top 5 biggest market cap: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, TRX. Sell small alts first when it pump, BTC and ETH can wait.
