BTC

higher-steaks

retarded take really. when a company makes a bet on a sector, their success is very often outside of their control and there are many plausible scenarios where they do not survive. literally a meaningless argument that could apply to anything. also somebodies average purchase price for BTC doesn't qualify or disqualify them from being a genius, rather it really has very little to do with anything

harvested

Many such cases >In since early 2017. Hit some highs and some lows along the way, but never quit and ran my portfolio to $1.2m by Dec 2024. As as of current, my portfolio is worth almost nothing, and I owe the IRS ~25k. Altcoin season became extraction season, masked by BTC price action. I'm now in my early 30s with all of my assets completely wiped out. GG crypto, it was fun while it lasted.

FilmDazzling4703

For me I’m here because the system is broken. Especially since going off the gold standard. And I hope BTC has a shot at fixing it

Maxlum25

Speculation, technically BTC has already lost to XRP, because the powerful have already decided what the monetary system of the future will be and it will not be BTC

Broke: isn't every living creature? Woke: BTC

tx_brandon

How much BTC did that ad cost?

TomtheMagician26

I'm still young so might as well take as much risk as possible now so I won't need to when I'm older. Also is it even risk? It's volatile in fiat but fiat is volatile in BTC so you could argue either way.

JustMortalSoul

Not post but Times Sq Ad of BTC lol

OneFrogArmy

What happens when quantum computing allows BTC to be infinitely divisible?

Rare_Rich6713

You can only make it if you don't put your life savings in, which will make you panic sell. I only invest what I can lose. And focus mostly on BTC, and you will be good. Also DCA into SUI too and maybe XMN.

JustMortalSoul

Is this why BTC hit 94k?

JustMortalSoul

Then what’s the point of holding BTC? With precious metals like Good it has many utilities like Jewelry, etc but BTC is just store of value in form of energy?

CherryRoutine9397

Honestly, I think most of them don’t even realise how much they’d be worth today. Back then, people treated BTC like a fun experiment, not something that would become a trillion dollar asset. Imagine buying a bit for a game server, forgetting about it, and waking up 15 years later, basically set for life. Crazy to think about how many wallets are just gone forever because nobody thought it would matter.

Leownx

BTC price likely to shake a bit down, I'll be ready to buy.

AusNormanYT

And they'll never see his BTC. Sure he'll pay a fine and oppos sorry. But he's coming out on top, as that was 2022 and BTC basically doubled in that time.

skyvin

Put a shirt on but yes 1 BTC = 1 BTC sir.

Easik

0.25 Rate cut, no rate cut in January, BTC will drop under $90k again, and data dependent / inflation risk buzz word.

Niice green dildos. Any reason? I see BTC dumped back below the resistance, ETH is still well above it so far. What are we thinking? Fake pump to bait longs or actual reversal?

Independent-Dog5311

Most noobs don't even bother to read the White Paper. And most normies can't even differentiate between BTC, Alts and shit coins.

Shit is so mainstream now. Used to have to do to some sketchy ass foreign cex to but BTC. Wow

imfuckinglying2u

BTC can hold deez nuts, doesn't matter. We're still more than 25% down while stocks consistently go up.

JoviTheJukeboxx

Congrats! Next stop .21 BTC

bbatardo

You will probably get your chance in the 80's again lol. To people that don't think it could happen, that is just around a 10% dip from current prices. We are at a crossroad where I wouldn't be surprised if BTC hits 100k or 80k by the end of this week.

MatterFickle3184

They can keep their shit fiat. Precious metals and BTC are the way.

OG_TRADER68

exactly. pretty anyone who would have bought BTC at $80-100, would have probably jumped ship once it was in the 1000-2000 range. Ain't nothing wrong with 10-20 x return

Fear_Blind83

Exchanges set their own withdrawal fees, this is a fixed amount regardless of how much you are withdrawing. Kraken Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin Withdrawal Fee: 0.000015 BTC Withdrawal Minimum (including fee): 0.00022 BTC

thupkt

It's never a bad time to buy some BTC especially if you have zero

Arijan101

This comment makes zero sense and here's why: 1) If America ever buys BTC and starts accumulating in any meaningful way, a lot of other competing nations and other bad actors can dump their BTC intentionally to hurt the U.S. financially, so it's a huge liability and useless risk . 2) BTC along with all of crypto and Blockchain technology will be rendered useless by quantum computers in the near future. 3) The current administration is using crypto like a personal get rich quick scheme which raises tons of questions about future regulations.

They allocated $10 million to SBR, $5 million was invested into IBIT and it looks like they spent the other 5 on actual BTC

I've seen that dude post "So glad I bought BTC this morning" when markets opened green, then 45 minutes later after a dip write "So glad I sold all my BTC this morning." No way it's not just a current-sentiment karma farming bot.

You can sell short 5M BTC. Essentially the same thing, however I don’t recommend it.

BTC got to hold at 93k for 24 hours. This is very very important. Very.

I was in the same boat and was part of the 21BTC club for quite some time. This bull run I sold some.

booyakasha_wagwaan

Texas, like every other state, holds treasury reserves in cash, bonds, equities, real estate, etc. [https://www.ttstc.org/about/](https://www.ttstc.org/about/) BTC is a nice addition to this, especially since Texas is a global leader in bitcoin mining.

VariatCA

BTC's up $3,000 from the morning, and this is still some of the highest 24 short-volume we've seen in weeks. Keep believing this isn't just leverage price-suppression though lol.

ithastogoupfromhere

I didn't get fooled by BTC and sold my DAT call options on BMNR and SBET at todays peek

partymsl

I don't wanna say it, but taxpayer money is used for way way alrse things than a BTC reserve. A BTC reserve of "just" $5M won't damage anyone and could even be a net positive for the state in the longterm.

justnutsandbolts2

My friend would make posts on FB like "one day we will all wish we bought BTC when it was less than $1000" I watched it closely, go up to 5kish before making my first purchase. I have many canceled orders at less than $5k / coin Dont know why

rocket_beer

You had that much BTC that this purchase was cleared? I promise you that you would have been able to buy 10 of these in the not so distant future with the same amount… 😞

Prestigious_Ad280

Id say BTC's volatility comes from the fact that's it's the only thing instantly tradeable 24/7/365. Its a market that reacts before the world even gets outta bed to read the morning news. Its the only truly free market BTC tells the truth as Jack likes to say

Numerous_Ruin_4947

It touched $126k. WTH are you talking about. BTC should have gone higher though.

skexzies

Bwaaaa haaaaa haaaaaa. BTC is always going to go up over the long term. Just wait till USA National debt hits $39 Trillion by March and the. 40 by June. The AA rating will drop to B, the bond market will tank and BTC will be worth a fortune.

teddy_blinkerton

Yes, it was rather confusing (it still is). I had bought some relatively early on via Coinbase early on, and then cashed it and made a nice profit (of a couple grand). I remember being utterly confused about how to transfer it.  Thankfully I bought again later on and held and had over half a bitcoin.  In 2022 I cashed in 20K worth for a down payment on my first house (I was 45 years old and thought I’d never have a house). I don’t regret it, as the value of my home has already gone up significantly, and it’s nice to have. I currently have about .56 BTC - I’d really like to have 1 BTC. 

alanism

I agree with this in the Vietnam context. VN’s debt-to-GDP is low, but domestic banks are already at their lending limits. Anyone doing CAPEX — especially importing factory equipment — runs into the same wall: local banks are stretched on USD. That’s a structural constraint for an economy trying to move up the value chain. A small Bitcoin reserve solves part of this. BTC functions as neutral, high-quality collateral. If VN holds even 1–2% of reserves in BTC, it can borrow more cheaply on global markets, back new forms of credit, and give domestic companies an alternative funding channel when the banking system can’t expand its USD balance sheet. For a fast-growing, export-driven economy with limited collateral and high USD dependence, adding BTC to the reserve mix isn’t speculation — it’s strategic. Even a modest allocation increases financial flexibility and improves access to foreign capital.

VariatCA

...No it isn't LOL $90,615 was the average buy for their puchases *last week*. Their total average is still only $74,696 for the 660,624BTC they own.

Playful_Judge_9942

What is your average buy price? I find it hard to believe you've never been in the green for 2 years and if you have been buying for 2 years you shouldn't be very deep in the red. Most of 2024 BTC bounced from $50-70k which is definitely less than its current price.

Confident_Section568

Below $90k is a loss voor MSTR's BTC position

Confident_Section568

$90.651 is now the average buy price of MSTR's BTC's This was $75k a couple months back So below $90k his position is already at a loss Like what is going on here

Successful-Face-9191

Exactly, average out between sources, PNC has about 400 billion under management, so they would have to put well over 10% of their entire management into BTC for it to make a noticeable percentage increase. They will maybe allocate 1-2% of a clients portfolio into BTC and that’s a big maybe but the fact of the matter is they WILL allocate a percentage of the clients portfolio into BTC. So it’s the news that a large bank primarily dealing with HNIs is adopting BTC that is moving the price. Your comment already sums up what I’m saying but I thought I’d just add some more context for the, let’s say, not neurologically inclined individuals.

ContentFlagged

I don't know why you all seem surprised. We are going to have another price peak for BTC, just like prior cycles. Expect a new ATH in March 2026. Unless we have a weekly close at or below 72.5k, I am still bullish on BTC. The bull cycle is far from over. Alts to peak March-July 2026. But what do I know. You allow emotions to control you it seems.

HarryGerpo

I agree with the previous post…. VOLATILITY is very important for day trading with BTC or other coins and for scalping you need enormous knowledge of the market and have to be able to analyze well and the mindset has to be right... but if you have that, the cash register will ring 😎

Brawlah

PNC Bank just announced partnership with CB to offer BTC to its wealthy clients or something close to that lol

Leave some BTC for the rest of us Tiger

Tjb82261

Okay, so you’re saying if strategy just decided fuck it. I’m gonna cash out and sell all the BTC. We wouldn’t see a drop of like 80% or more?

BTC first, ETH next, Sol also but last.

BTC go up

Mysterious_Most9667

BTC is pumping..

Distinct-Thanks-6477

Who has been bold enough to buy dips during this unpredictable price action? Waiting patiently for my reward for adding more ETH, AIOZ, and SOL. I think BTC breaking past $100k is the key.

Heavy-Syrup-6195

Would having less liquid from leverage be a bad thing? A strong asset such as BTC can easily replace that would “organic” liquidity from value investors, no?

2xfun

No. It's not programed to do that. The only problem with BTC is the potential lack of adoption by us. The main problem is human ignorance.

Cryptogirlie

Remember, buying BTC at that time wasn’t like it is today on Robinhood or Coinbase. You had to be the nerd of all nerds to figure out how to obtain it, store it and remember the keys. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, would have could have…..

MaxxGawd

America is not buying BTC. No one has to front run them. Maybe they need to front run El Salvador

Post is by: jeff1323 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pidgl2/looking_to_sell_bitpay_preipo_equity_position/ I’m looking to exit a pre-IPO position in BitPay (the global crypto payment processor). This is not public stock; it’s private equity via an EquityZen SPV, and I’d be transferring my rights to an accredited buyer pending their approval. Position Overview: • 2,000 BitPay Common Shares — Series 564 • Held via EquityZen fund/SPV • Original acquisition price: $5.00/share • Offering sale price: $3.88/share • Total estimated value ≈ $10K position Why someone might want this: BitPay is one of the most established brands in crypto payments — merchant gateway adoption, BTC/ETH/USDC support, debit integration, card rails, etc. If you believe in crypto payment infrastructure and future on-ramps, this is an asymmetric bet with upside through IPO, acquisition, or later secondary liquidity events.

I think it would be helpful if people learned to think things though themselves. In terms of probability, BTC is likely end this year (2025) a little over $100k. It can get to $150k (whenever) just by momentum and nothing else. To get to $250k, you need structural change. We have the setup for that already so when hedge funds and advisors start allocating a little to BTC that's when we'll get that. I'd say 2026 will see $170k. The trend will continue into 2027 with maybe $230k. If we have a recession, it just knocks the predictions back a year. By 2030 we are looking at $300k to $500k. At that point, BTC is mature. That's a 5x move from here in terms of real purchasing power so if you can buy BTC for $100k and it will have $500k in purchasing power by 2030. That's a good deal. The numbers after that mature value are just inflation for if you go out long enough you can post any number and it is possible but it's just inflation and increased purchasing power. This is all you really need to understand about Bitcoin, IMO. It's how I look at it and therefore the daily wild predictions and scenarios, I just ignore. It's just noise and clickbait.

BTC would have to absolutely smash 100k and make it support, do you really see that happening?

VariatCA

I remember you saying "I sold between 100k to 110k on the way down when I was *sure* we were entering the bear market". So BTC's closing in on that first range of the band reeeeal fast now.

borislikesbeer

I know it sucks. I was there when I started too.   Just keep buying. And keep learning.  And if your done with BTC, buy VOO or QQQ and diversify.  Keep your investing mindset and habits.

Post is by: Subject_Fee_2071 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1picvqa/most_people_talk_about_leverage_without_really/ So what ppl get wrong is that: Scenario 1 You have $100 → you buy $100 of spot BTC ✔ same exposure ❌ full account at risk ❌ you eat the entire drawdown Scenario 2 You have $100 → you open a properly sized, isolated 100x BTC position using $1 collateral, keep $99 in stables ✔ same BTC price exposure ✔ max loss is $1 ❌ BUT liquidation matters, so you size it so liquidation is far away (not 1%) so that is the key point - potion sizing is dangerous. If you size correctly, leverage becomes just a capital-efficient way to hold exposure without putting your entire stack inside the position. That’s why new DeFi systems like Asgard Finance, Kamino, Marginfi add guardrails, controlled leverage, isolation, real risk parameters, so people stop blowing up their accounts using CEX-style cross margin YOLO trades. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Then why are defending the efficiency of using petroleum to power the blockchain? Using fission to generate hydrogen or Bitcoin is reasonable. But that doesn't make Bitcoin efficient. Especially while we know many other similar networks are more efficient than BTC. Its almost like core has been corrupted to ensure more profits for miners.

Do yourself a favor and stick to the Bitstamp chart of BTC when you're on TradingView, IMO it's easily the best of the BTC charts you can draw up there.

VariatCA

This whole year has been a testament to how quickly momentum can reverse. BTC hit that August all-time high, spent like 6 straight weeks dropping down as much as 13% by the end of September... then just pumped the gas and rose to 126k within 6 days for a new ATH.

amcsignupusa

Backwardization nearing on Gold and Silver again. Fed about to lower interest rates again which devalues USD which is used to price BTC Gold and Silver.

That's why you pool mine.. this isn't 2010 anymore.. he would need several hundred petahash to have a chance at hitting blocks. When you pool min, your btc payout is steady and predictable vs maybe hitting a BTC block if you solo mine

And yet the BTC and ETH I bought near the November lows are +16% and +26% since then. Perspective! There's plenty of opportunity to be made if you keep your eyes on the ball and focus on the macro-economic perspective.
