Bitcoin will be the first quadrillion dollar asset, happening sooner than most think, and in that world, .01 BTC would be around 500k in today's purchasing power. It costs you 700 dollars today to secure a house within 20-30 years. I say, stack as much bitxoin you can in .01 chunks.

Open a Kraken/Coinbase account. Buy some BTC Stay away from the Shit/Alt coins until you are comfortable (or for forever) Only put in what you are not going to need in an emergency and can afford DCA (Dollar cost average) simply put in smaller amounts every week/2 weeks/month. This way any dips won't seem so drastic over time. Do not answer ANY DM's. And just learn. Watch the market, keep up with the news on BTC and try and make it pleasurable. I don't look at my stack and worry, it's like play money and this helps take the stress out of it. I'll be honest, I have 70/30 split between BTC and ETH and I DCA £20 a week into BTC and £10 a week into ETH. Everyone is different and invests in different coins that they believe in. I am quite conservative I think. The only other coin I've contemplated investing in is XRP. I feel like it might have the potential to go big one day. I will get slated for that though, haha! Its got a terrible rep.

Your debt is about to be worthless. Don’t sell your major appreciating asset to pay it off. The more they print the more worthless it is. Regional banks are on the verge of collapse and they are discussing increasing the treasury limits banks are able to hold. This means more money printing, more inflation, and your debt will be worth less. Just ride it out in BTC

Mentions:#BTC

I don’t think you understand. BTC is a store of value. But so is ETH. Bitcoin is analogous to digital gold. Ethereum is analogous to the S&P 500. Investing in ETH is like investing in an index fund, where you trust that the value of the fund will increase based on the value of its many components. Nothing has a network effect like Ethereum, thanks to being a first mover on smart contracts. You don’t hold ETH because it’s the best way to move money. There are tons of better projects that do this cheap and fast, XLM is a great example. Just like bitcoin, you should see it as a way to own digital “real estate,” especially now that it’s a deflationary token.

Mentions:#BTC#ETH#XLM

Yes. Assuming they didn’t get off and successfully convert it to BTC or ETH or fiat. Like the guy I responded to lol.

To me, knowing whether BTC will be worth more over time is not as important as me knowing that USD and other fiat currencies will 100% guaranteed lose value to printing/inflation over time. After that, you get to choose which assets protect you from that inevitable currency debasement.

Mentions:#BTC

I was near BTC in 2011 but never held onto any. I know I would have tossed it to the wind at 9k or something like that. I don't regret anything because I was too young to know back then and most likely too young to be responsible with that money at the time.

Mentions:#BTC

sure. you and lots of other enthusiasts will say that right up until your ETH actually goes somewhere because people are using it. Nobody is freaking out because BTC is under the wing and soon the control of Blackrock and pals - they're just happy to have their free money.

Mentions:#ETH#BTC

I'm in the same position. What you can do is take a defi loan off your BTC for cash and then pay off the loan at these rates. You'll unlock your BTC when you're done. Only do single purchases at a time. It's better than a bank loan and you get your money back at the end. Start off small to get a feel for it but you could potentially take out a few grand if it's to put into something that directly makes you money back.

Mentions:#BTC

That's exactly why I hold BCH/ADA mainly. Few cool projects as a maybe (ICP, AR, ATOM). XMR... Nah, I have none, it's all lost in that tragic accident. And BTC as a speculative asset.

I mean what does "Ethereum's First zkRollup Layer 2" have to do with a 15 year old wanting to send money to a friend? I'm being a little facetious, but the point is that I'm aware that there are wallets that work on my phone. They're nowhere near simple enough. People here will scream about backing up seed phrases and custodial crypto and they'll be kind of right, but nobody cares that BTC is now folded into the very institutions it was created to undermine because their "bags" (oh how I hate this trend) are getting fatter. Same will happen with this, if it ever gets made. Acorns, but for ETH. very few buttons, no dire warnings and no fucking "zkRollups" for the love of pete.

Unless BTC truly goes to the moon in the next 10 years, my plan is to split my stack evenly among one wallet for each of my kids. Maybe they will use it someday, maybe they will pass it down. But I'll be gone or too old to care so it will be up to them.

Mentions:#BTC

I am not overwhelmed at all. To your second point about selling or not selling. Only you know what you will feel like if BTC goes to 500k in the next 12-18 and you sold at 69k. If that’s some thing you can live with, then the risk might not be worth it for you. Personally, I am in it for at least 1 more cycle after this one. I will be 60 then, I got no kids to worry about. A few greedy nephews, but then I will enjoy however big the stack is at that point.

Mentions:#BTC

I'm not in the same boat as you. Yours is the alternate reality I screwed up for myself. I also joined in 2017 but got wayyyyy carried away with all the alt coins that were also taking off. For a while my gains outpaced BTC, but (of course) everything crashed only BTC recovered. So my original investment, which wasn't much, and wouldn't anything near yours today, is way less than it started out to be. It's great that you held on and are now asking these questions. Sounds like you have the opportunity to take out life-changing sums as you need it, and keep enough in the market to stave off FOMO. That said, imagine the simplest option. Taking ALL of it and putting it in the S&P. You're lightyears ahead others in your situation minus the BTC. As long as your money stays money (and not bs, like i did) you're great.

I would argue that selling BTC to pay off your home is not equivalent to "selling for fiat," you're selling to own your own home and to secure it from the bank. You can't put a price on owning your home outright and knowing that no one can take it from you (so long as you keep up with taxes). Depending on how young your kids are, you can start contributing to 529 plans or equivalent, or start saving up for another property, whatever you want to do The world is your oyster, congrats!

I jumped into BTC pretty much ATH last bullrun, it shot down a few months after, I DCA'd a bit during the bear and now I'm pretty much laughing... I only wish I had been a bit more brave and consistent with DCA during the bear run to bring my average cost down even more. But jump on anytime, otherwise you wont be active in the market to put money in and actually earn anything.

Congrats on the win! Same boat- been in since fall 2017. Big believer in BTC and bullish on it. BUT, BTC is not what I want, and I'd argue not what many people truly want. Freedom, happiness, house paid off, less stress, kids taken care of, etc. I respect you for acknowledging these things and I recommend everyone think hard and do the same, especially in an age of diamond hands and what not. I'll 100% be selling my BTC (again, even though I'm a believer) when the time comes that I can get the things for myself and my family that are far more important to us than money.

Here is were they kicked you in the balls. If everyone wanted to make 2 tx, one from the CEX and one to open a self custodial LN channel it would take around 60 years. No other traffic just that. There would be people that would be born and die before they could make these two tx. Self custody on BTC will be for the rich only. Everyone else will be using custodians.

Anyone else overwhelmed with BTC's success? " As a middle class father of two young kids, the pressure to do something smart with the funds is weighing on me, especially when I was here once before and watched it slip away. Yeah I know HODL and "BTC is the exit strategy" and all that but hindsight is 20/20... There is still substantial risk in terms of BTC's buying power. I believe in the tech and have had diamond hands for the last 7 years, but I don't drink Kool-Aid; anything can still happen. " I think your answer points out what most sensible persons would do. You clearly understand the volatility of that asset and how quickly it can go down the drain. Will it get back up again, most probably, but how long and how glacial the crypto winters will be, none will know. Having a paid off roof over your head and having a niece stach save for kids future, is more important for me and probably is for you as well, since you are thinking/asking about it. My ROI is slowly getting up there and I've been DCA'ying out. Enjoying life now with the ones I love is more important than having a big stack that supposedly I will be enjoying life at a later date. Unfortunately, I don't have that intimate relationship with my creator to know when he is going to put an end for me on this plane of existence, so I enjoy as much as I can with my family. We are all in this space for a variety of reasons. You make that balanced decision that will work for you while cutting out the noise from both extreme sides of this debate. Best of luck🙏.

Mentions:#BTC#HODL#DCA

Compared to simply buying small amounts in regular intervals (Dollar Cost Averaging) it is more similar to gambling. Fiat is 100% guaranteed to devalue year over year which automatically raises the usd-btc price since its price is simply the ratio of fiat to btc. I used to try to time the market by selling when I thought it was the peak. That is emotionally trading which caused me stress and involved poor judgement. My average BTC worth started to trend towards a loss over time as I was not good and didn't have a proper strategy. As soon as I implemented DCA strategy my average visibility changed from a trend downward to the exact opposite trend upwards. I started doing it around 6-8 months ago and I've basically doubled my USD value equivalent. • DCA is more reliable and requires no stress • DCA removes emotional trading • DCA removes the need to time the market (luck) • Must sell BTC to time the market which should only be done in emergencies or for well thought out plans (eg. Paying off high interest loans for peace of mind) • Time market = luck to make money. DCA = only way to lose money is if (a: market goes down over long term or (b: you stop DCA and sell before the market average trend emerges.

I hold both because it is unlikely that we go back to the analogue world where gold and silver as monies were the best humans could do for money. I have a background in math and IT and have put in the work to understand how BTC operates. Your adherence to gold is commendable because you get the larger problem - fiat is bad no matter what. Outside of fiat, save and store your energy in what every way you thing is best, I say. Let the free market figure out what is the best money for the 21st century

I think you should figure out the two or three most important reasons to sell BTC and then sell half or 2/3rds. Then keep hodling the rest. I wouldn’t exit Bitcoin entirely! Keep a coin or two and liquidate the rest. Pay off home for sure, buy a single investment property. Focus on building wealth and you won’t need to max out kids college funds! (Unless they are going medical or engineering, college is a waste) put that fiat to work! Congrats on your success, you did it, enjoy the rewards!

This is a good question and if the amount of money is material to you, it might be worth getting some professional financial advice. There are a lot of people in the tech industry who make a lot of money on a single company stock. They feel just like you: they're torn because they could sell some of that stock, but they also still believe in the company. Here are two more sophisticated strategies people do in this case. You could consider doing this for BTC now that it's on the public exchanges. 1) People sell options at a price that is higher than the current price. If BTC does not go up to the price of your option, then you end up making some income through the sale of your option. Or if BTC goes up higher than your option's price then you end up selling at the price of your option. When you feel like "I'm open to selling some of this asset" this can be a great strategy. 2) People spend a relatively small amount of money to buy put options. This gives you the right to sell your stock at a strike price which is lower than the current price of BTC. This way you're protecting yourself because if BTC continues to go up, you're happy that you held the BTC and you participate in this further gains. Your option will expire worthless, and you spent a little money on this "insurance plan", but it's worth it. Or if you're worst fears are right and BTC ends up dropping really low — lower than the strike price on these put options — then you use your put option and sell at the strike price of this option. This is the idea of "locking in". These are two strategies that people use when they're starting to feel anxious that the price of something might go down and they kind of want to sell but aren't sure yet. These are two strategies for benefitting from the all the appreciation you've gotten without simply selling.

Miners control the BTC price, not the ETFs. At any one-time miners are holding around 2 million coins. They need to periodically sell for operations. They need to buy new, more efficient machines to prepare for the halving. ETF Boomers don't care about the small allocations of the BTC ETF they have in their massive portfolios.

Many of these models are factoring in the network effect, where compounding interest in an asset results in bigger and bigger fishes getting involved. It doesn't predict specific buys, but it does predict patterns of attention. In a very real way most of these models do predict things like ETFs, just as it would predict national central banks to be the next tier of institutional investment at the some subsequent leg up. It's the other way around - people thinking ETFs being involved in this cycle as evidence that the cycle is different are wrong, this is all just the inevitability of the network effect. BTC is just an asset that is pure enough to draw in the full power of the network effect at a global scale, while most other technologies or assets won't thread all the required needles for that level of adoption. The Internet is probably the best analogue for a technology like this. Power law sounds almost obvious, but I also like Ben Cohen's diminishing returns model, or whatever he calls it.

Mentions:#BTC

BTC is a solution in search of an answer. It's 14 years old and as good as no-one uses it except for speculative trading. It's not even good for buying drugs any more. Compare its adoption to any other revolutionary tech (google search, digital advertising, facebook the smartphone, ChatGPT) after just 5 years to see what an utter failure it is and continues to be.

Wonder if BTC will test 65 first before bouncing higher

Mentions:#BTC

Thanks for explaining. Yes, I've read that before. So the assumption is that many halvings later BTC price will be so high that fees alone will be profitable. I get that, but my point was that if you watch mining for that past 5/10 years, it's been concentrating more and more. Whereas before anyone could do it, now it's not worth doing. Could that become a problem?

Apologies, I don't seem to have communicated my point clearly. Those are periods of time where societies/economies/people experienced deflation. My point is that studying those to see how people reacted to the deflation seems like a reasonable thing for someone to do if they want to make an informed assumption about how people/societies/economies might respond to deflation in the future. Your initial point was that talk of deflation is "fundamentally a straw man argument" and that's what I'm challenging. If BTC is deflationary (which by all accounts it seems like it is given the cap) then it seems entirely reasonable for people to want to understand how people might behave were it to become a/the widely adopted currency. Looking at periods of deflation seems a reasonable way to do this. As I said at the start it may well be the case that BTC is fundamentally different and therefore these comparisons could be imperfect but that doesn't make doing so a "straw man argument". Using history as a guide is a pretty reasonable way of informing predictions about the future.

And I intend to basically sell off tranches for the rest of my life- the opposite of DCA buying I suppose. OP's question was whether you're over- or under-whelmed by Bitcoin's success. I'll actually take a shot at that question. I'm underwhelmed! BTC has traditionally averaged gains of 70%+ annually....however when I first bought in back in 2021, it was about $50k...now it's $67k, which is an increase of only about 10% annually....which is underwhelming. I'll give it more time. But right now, I'm disappointed. And in no mood for celebrating.

If you don't want to miss out, sell your BTC and buy a call option for MSTR (they hold BTC and they are squeezing anyways and will go nuts in a bull cycle). Then you can cash most of your money and maybe you lose 20% of it on the call option if it doesn't work out, but if it runs, you'll make everything back to get BTC again even after you have cashed out

If not, then just drop it in a BTC ETF fund, FBTC or ARKB.

The good news: my monthly salary is only 1% of my net worth in BTC. The bad news: my monthly salary is only $40. Isn't? 🥲😆

Just took some profits at 68K ish. Was only 15% of my stack but will cover a significant amount of my credit card debt. Im going to keep DCAing and stacking, but I feel good that BTC is already helping me out and we’re just at the beginning

I used to be a BTC maxi and that all changed in 2020 because I wanted to use it. Fees were prohibitive and LN was a joke. I left because of the fees and the hyper focusing on L2. L2 is nothing more than just wasting time and resources. No, BTC is not the same as it was. You can continue to think it is, that’s fine. Oh, and not to mention you need to make an on chain transactions for every channel you want to open. Enjoy the psyop. Have fun with Gregcoin.

For 17 BTC I would cobble together any information you have and try to brute force it, especially if you can remember any pertinent details that could help narrow the range.

No. It would be insane to secure a meaningful amount of BTC with a single key. There are better approaches. For example: https://casa.io/

You could look into stuff like the Talmud portfolio. Keep a 1/3 of your wealth in savings, 1/3 in land/real estate and 1/3 in business (your own or stock). Why not just keep it all in bitcoin? Well, what if you need the money right after btc crashes? Most of us aren't already wealthy like Saylor, we have our lives to lead and needs we must address today. My BTC stack is now worth around \~2 years of my salary, so I am nowhere near yet when I need to think about diversification. Another thing - concentration is for building wealth, diversification is for maintaining it.

Just buy BTC. You'll learn in the journey.

Been in since early 2018. In a similar position financially because of BTC but I don't have children or debt, and I rent and don't personally plan on buying a house for a while (wanna be able to buy one in cash in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the US and still have a substantial amount of BTC left). So I'm just holding because I believe Bitcoin will continue to appreciate. I'll probably be holding and continuing to work for another 10 years before I sell any but it also depends on how high we fly during that time.

I'd take the family holiday. Buy whatever you want. Boat? Leave the rest in BTC.

When the bull comes, people act like BTC will be here forever; go up forever (not direct straight lines, OBV.). The truth is, this may well be the case but one thing you know for absolute certainty is that you won't be around forever. When you die, and you will die, it won't matter to you if your BTC holdings are worth a cent or a billion. If you've recognised an opportunity to enhance your life now, then do it. No regrets, otherwise what the fuck was the point?

Mentions:#BTC

Most of the value of BTC is in holding the actual coins. The etf just gives you exposure to the price. Have a look at some of Andreas Antonopoulos talks. You can start with a simple wallet on your phone like BlueWallet.

Mentions:#BTC

Another way to look at it : eat a target % of your net worth that you want BTC to be at and rebalance accordingly. This will take the emotion out of selling, but more importantly buying when it dips.

Id say I’m in a somewhat similar mindset. Crypto only makes up 2% of my net worth, but I’m seeing how quickly I’ve been able to grow that money. Definitely faster than many other areas of my portfolio. 98% of my worth is in traditional finance: real estate, 401k, IRA, etc. I still believe crypto is too risky for invest more than I can afford to lose. So my advice would be to simply continue to DCA a small amount. Keep paying your mortgage and contribute to your kids college fund. Keep all that BTC if you can and maybe someday it will be a very big cherry on top of your retirement plan.

I used to be against ETF but now I think they made more sense to me. The click came when I was researching about a fireproof safe to my house and a steel plaque to right my seed. I don’t think this makes sense. My Reasons: 1) You will never see a post like “Help me, My ETF was drained”. 2) BTC network fees are insane high. If you buy small amounts you need to leave at an exchange and wait to move. People complain about 0.25% year tax but don’t care to pay much more in fees. 3) “Future of money” relies on a peace of paper stored at your closet. Really? 4) Imagine your family trying to understand how to recover your BTC when you pass. 5) Moving BTC around is stressful and takes too much time. Every time I send I get worried. 6) It’s a nightmare opening ledger everyday to check if your BTC remains there or if some fucking hacker stole it from you. 7) The phrase “not your keys, not your crypto” doesn’t make sense nowadays. People that repeat this as a mantra leave like 20x more than they have in BTC at a… bank. 8) BTC volatility is stressful enough. Adding a self custody to the equation makes it even more stressful.

I always assumed it was rooted in looking at periods of deflation and their impacts? Economists will look at how people behaved during times of deflation and extrapolate from there. You can argue that BTC is different and therefore those comparisons are flawed but I wouldn't call it a straw man to try and guess how people would react to a deflationary currency by looking at how people reacted to having one in the past.

Bought a small amount (<$500; most of my savings) of BTC ETF. Is there any merit on buying actual coins at this level of money or am I right on staying with the ETF? Alternate question: What amount is recommended if I am to transition to actual BTC + wallet? Thanks!

Except BTC can’t be used as it was intended. Fees make that extremely prohibitive, especially in the world’s poor. You don’t find it at all concerning or weird that companies, like MC , have invested resources into it, then somehow afterwards, with enough tx volume (because BTC refuses to properly scale), it’s no longer able to compete with MC? BTC had the ability to leave MC in the past because it could be used as a cheap MoE. That’s no longer the case and is no longer a threat to MC.

Put your RRSP in broad-market USD ETFs (because of the US/Can tax treaty). Put your after tax money into a TFSA, and buy all your bitcoin ETFs there, since all gains are tax free forever, and don't affect your income after you retire. You should be buying a broad-market Canadian ETF in your TFSA as well, don't put all your eggs in the BTC basket. After the TFSA is maxxed out, then buy BTC directly.

Real estate is an option that would tempt me to sell a big chunk of my BTC. I love BTC and only sold in 2020 to put a down payment on my house. It is hard to pass up a rental since BTC is not passive income like a rental would be while growing in value on the long term.

You can also buy BTC ETFs to have exposure to BTC without the hassle of dealing with self custody if you don't feel comfortable

tldr; Standard Chartered has increased its year-end bitcoin (BTC) price forecast to $150,000, up from $100,000, and predicts a cycle high of $250,000 in 2025 before stabilizing around $200,000. The bank's analysis draws parallels between the impact of gold ETFs on gold prices and potential inflows into bitcoin ETFs. Additionally, Standard Chartered anticipates the approval of an ether (ETH) ETF could lead to ETH reaching around $8,000 by the end of 2024, with a potential rise to $14,000 by the end of 2025 based on the ETH-to-BTC price ratio. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

These publicly traded mining companies aren’t anything new. They have been around since 2017. In every instance you would have just been better off buying BTC. Back then I understood the case more for owning them. It was hard to get crypto exposure especially in something like an IRA. Now with the ETFs no excuse to touch those unless you are a speculator.

You completely missed my point. Jewelry doesn't make gold valuable. They make jewelry out of gold because gold is valuable, and hence a status symbol. So the point that you can't make BTC into jewelry is moot. If BTC demonetizes gold, gold's use in jewelry will largely fade away.

I think this is true. I also think the BS "my firm wouldn't let me put you in Bitcoin" will only go so far. If and when clients start dumping anti-BTC advisors/firms for pro-BTC folks - I would imagine that will trigger re-evaluation. Vanguard's position on this - we will not let you buy the ETFs (even though we let you buy GBTC is the past??) is quite a interesting and risky stance!

The only people who think BTC should be stored forever are on reddit preaching that shit cause people who bought BTC and made a decent profit are outside living life lmao. I sold an enormous amount of BTC, that could be a stupidly huge amount of money today, a few years back. I used it to get downpayment for my house, and never regretted it for a second. I still have some BTC left, but I never ever worry about prices going up and down, my salary more than covers for my expenses, and I could still cash out a relatively big sum of money if I decided to get rid of everything right now. Also I feel like if you are into bitcoin, you most likely will be early on other wealth generating opportunities that will arise in the next years and decades. People act like BTC is the only true religion, while there are, there have been, and there will always be plenty of ways to make money. Your investment paid off? Then enjoy it
