BTC

Arijan101

Yeah, Viagra was meant to treat heart disease, but that's not what it's used for. So yeah, what BTC was meant for is completely irrelevant, it's just a speculative asset people buy because they hope the line will go up and to the right forever. That's really all there is to it.

ThknGpeLvr

Fortunately I was involved and around future founders back in 2011. Alts only exist as a way to acquire more BTC. 15yrs and 100% still applies. I thank those founders everyday for telling me the truth that far back.

FortuneFirst8820

I think it just comes down to the basics. Are you healthy? If so, that’s vastly more important than any BTC. Are you physically any different than before you lost the Bitcoin? Has anything in your day to day life changed? It sounds like you were in a position to accumulate a bit of BTC by working very hard, but it doesn’t sound like losing that BTC has had any real impact on your life beyond the obvious stress. When something like this happens to me, I intentionally do things I know I wouldn’t have done if it didn’t happen. Example is if I’m not going to workout one day, I’ll think of that and then decide to workout. Or call my mother to check in. Or give an unhoused person a couple bucks, or just do nice things that you might usually overlook or forget to do. Eventually you’ll get to a point where you realize none of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t lost the BTC. Or, butterfly effect type thinking, where you realize the next really big good thing that happens to you (meeting wife, having child) wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t lost the BTC.

Yes, but the surge over the next 2-3 months in BTC to 100k will work for MSTX, and then we can flip it to MSTR to avoid long term decay. Some caculators show MSTR is trading at less than 1.0 NAV. MSTX vs buying a 2-3 month option or trading at leverage is likely superior given my expectation we will be at 80-100k in 2-3 months. I cannot wait for all of the people claiming the bottom will be in Oct. to cry when we are over 100k at that point. Not investment advice. If you buy or sell anything based on my post, not only are you regards, but you will lose everything. So, I'm not telling you to do anything.

> I don’t have to worry about losing my keys, hackers, FYI if the ETF's custodian gets hacked of loses their keys your investments will not be covered. Your investments are insured against the brokerage bank (Questrade, Wealthsimple, TD Direct, etc.) going bankrupt but the ETFs themselves are not. I have started diversifying my BTC ETF holdings among several funds that use different methods of custody (Gemini, Coinbase, and self custody) and making sure they all carry their own insurance.

genius_retard

The advise I give people is when the amount of BTC you have is enough that you would be very upset if you lost it, it's time for a hardware wallet.

Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1uq14j9/are_accelerating_cbdc_programs_a_structural_tail/ We just crossed a pretty wild milestone: the Atlantic Council now has 146 countries and currency unions, representing over 98% of global GDP, actively exploring CBDCs – this went from 87 in 2022 to nearly “everyone” by mid‑2026. That’s not a sideshow anymore; that’s the future rails of the monetary system being designed in real time, mostly without retail investors at the table. When you actually read what central banks and policy shops are publishing (Fed, BIS, IMF, CEPR, UN, WEF, etc.), the direction is pretty clear. CBDC is framed as “public digital money” giving households and firms direct access to central bank liabilities, with an explicit eye on cross‑border usage and a more “multipolar” architecture. A small group of countries – think China’s e‑CNY trials going international, the euro area’s digital euro design phase, and pilots in places like Nigeria, India, and the Caribbean – are furthest along and openly exploring how CBDCs can reshape cross‑border settlement and reduce dollar dependence. Meanwhile the Fed is moving slower, emphasizing research, but Congress, the Fed, and the IMF are all running CBDC policy workshops and training programs. This isn’t hypothetical anymore; it’s policy plumbing. For Bitcoin and broader crypto, I see a few simultaneous forces. On one hand, CBDCs are a direct competitor to stablecoins and a way for states to pull payments back onto sovereign rails. On the other, they normalize digital bearer‑like assets and make “digital money” totally mainstream. Against a backdrop of structurally high debt, ongoing dollar debasement concerns, and de‑dollarization experiments, you’re effectively getting a state‑run digital stack and a parallel, market‑priced one (BTC, ETH, etc.). My base case: CBDCs accelerate institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as “off‑system collateral” or a macro hedge, even as they clamp down on privacy and permissionless rails. Given that trajectory, I treat CBDCs as a tail‑risk and adoption driver at the same time. With CBDCs accelerating, I keep everything off exchanges in self‑custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger. For fiat on/off and regulated exposure (spot BTC, ETH, ETFs), Coinbase is the most compliant US ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase. Curious how everyone here is thinking about CBDC risk in portfolio construction: are you changing your BTC/stablecoin mix, or just ignoring it as noise until launch dates are concrete? Ledger and Coinbase links are affiliate links. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It’s a battle between Rich vs Saylor. BTC is just the battle field.

Typical-Snow3034

Hey! I’d treat this as two separate things: the legal sale process and the Bitcoin payment flow. For the legal side, you still want proper documents, escrow/notary guidance, and clear wording on how the BTC price is agreed and settled. For the payment side, both sides need to understand the address, timing, confirmations, and what happens if the price moves before completion. Once the BTC is received, the next practical question is how you’ll actually manage it afterwards: hold it, send part of it, exchange some, or use it for payments. That’s the part where CoinRabbit can fit naturally, since wallet, exchange, send/spend tools, and human support are together in one app.

kokanee-fish

I do think you would initially see a crater of almost everything remotely related to computers, but after selling off people will be searching for a new place to park their cash to fight inflation, and my bet would be that a lot of people decide crypto is a part of that portfolio. So while BTC would dive initially, I think it will outperform on the recovery. Curious why you think a bubble burst would drive inflation and rate hikes -- I see this scenario as being stagflationary to disinflationary.

Anonimo1sdfg

Los que históricamente han estado siguiendo subiendo con máximos nuevos, los demás en mi opinión son una basura, no tienen valor ni tienen negocio que produzca dinero. BTC es la excepción, claramente, por sus fundamentos. Mira estas monedas: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/s/tYEEsIK6Ea

Sufficient-Tomato518

What is the point of selling BTC, if he has $ 2.55 B in USD reserves?

_Ulot_

This is exactly why I think people should separate the politics from the products they use. Regardless of who passes regulation, users still need to do their own due diligence and manage risk. Personally, I keep most of my BTC in cold storage, but I leave a small portion on a CeFi platform like CoinDepo to earn passive yield instead of letting it sit idle. Diversifying custody has made more sense to me than relying on any single narrative or institution.

zooka19

Selling 25 Bonds for more BTC. This is the way.

CatPeopleBleaux

I was buying ETH at $9 and been part of it the entire ride so I'm fully aware of history. I feel like the way you talk about crypto, you are bitter about losing money on it or some shit. Most people who just sit around talking about Saylor going to jail and BTC at $10k are just haters. There are like 3 or 4 companies larger than MSTR from a holdings standpoint so yeah, some crazy shit would have to happen for BTC to hit $10k, much less sustain that level for over 6 months. But as soon as MSTR sells a couple thousand BTC, yall coming streaming out with the, "durrrrr, Saylor sold 1% of their holdings, he's def going to jail". Yall been doing this for years. My favorite part though is people thinking that MSTR doesn't have literal geniuses working there who are leveraging AI, data analytics and intel to predict markets or....at the very least, run scenarios on what happens at every level of pain is just fucking hilarious to me. They're a 35 yr old, US based company with $55B in holdings. They aren't a bunch of strung out 20 yr olds playing with monopoly money during COVID in Singapore or the Caymans.

theincognito66

MSBT has only 0.14% annual fee for their ETF that does the same thing as IBIT. I prefer owning actual BTC, but I also like to throw this info in where I can. DYOR - there are cheaper ETFs that do the same thing

Arijan101

What BTC was created for, and what it has evolved to be in reality are 2 separate things. It's nothing more than a speculative asset today.

dj_destroyer

Here's the thing, and no offence, but Saylor and the Strategy execs are smarter than you or I. Their earnings call actively state how they will sell creatively in order to harvest tax losses or to lock in gains -- both in an effort to increase BTC per share.

w1a1s1p

Do you have money to eat? You have a roof over your head? You are healthy? You are loved? Everything else is arbitrary, you will recover it tenfold, also if BTC is going to zero and we are in a death spiral the recovery will be cheaper

Sad-March-2358

Now, Saylor not buying BTC.

AI kind of cooling and BTC holding up decently well. Hope this Japan Yen Carry trade meltdown isn’t as bad as their cryptic Tweets make it seem.

HSuke

Tbey only sold $216 million BTC. That's only 5% of what they were planning to sell. This is far from over.

bbk13

If I was a Bitcoin millionaire, or even hundred thousand-aire, because of something I forgot doing more than 10 years ago I'd be bragging about it to everyone. It would be like winning the lottery but with the added benefit of being able to pretend I was actually just really smart and had incredible foresight. Unfortunately I never took the next step and bought the BTC. I definitely made the wallet when BTC were under $1000.

baIIern

Is that Japanese money even relevant for the Bitcoin market? Saylor is selling more BTC than the Japanese do

moviemaker2

No, it's overkill for banking passwords because a bank account and a crypto wallet are fundamentally different. 1. The bank is the custodian of the funds you deposit there. You are the custodian of your BTC wallet. If you want someone else to be the custodian of your BTC, that's what exchanges are for. 2. If your banking credentials are compromised, you can change them. 3. You should also have 2FA enabled with your bank, so even if you did accidentally share your username and password, that's not enough for an attacker to access your account. 4. Even if an attacker drains your bank account, that money was still verifiably legally yours, it can be recovered. 5. It's harder for a clipboard read attack to steal banking credentials, because you're not usually copying your username and password at the same time. If a script did recognize a password, it wouldn't automatically be able to know what it was to. Seed phrases are a standard pattern of words; they're easy for a script to recognize and that's all you need to have complete control of the wallet.

This really sucks, sorry to hear! Recovery will take time. If you stop now and don't start over, you'll likely complain that you should have invested/stacked when BTC hits all-time highs again. Always move to a cold wallet, even if it's only a fraction of your portfolio.

Favelie123

Everyone has a different investment strategy, but I personally like keeping most of my BTC in cold storage while allocating a small portion to earn yield. CoinDepo is one of the platforms I’ve been researching for that purpose. Diversification and risk management are important.

Yoloballsdeep

Selling at 60k is better than selling at 10k. Saylor has been religiously buying BTC since the price of BTC was $11.6K not 120K. This shows that buying bitcoin is a shitty investment to begin with.

UrbanGrower187

Some people are acting like 3,500 BTC was a panic sale. Strategy still holds **840,000+ BTC** selling less than **0.5%** of its stack is financially insignificant. Michael Saylor still owns around **17,000 BTC** personally. If anything, improving liquidity while keeping virtually the entire Bitcoin position intact makes the company better equipped to weather any prolonged downturn. That’s risk management, not a loss of conviction kinda funny how so many ppl though ETFs and one corporate company is holding BTC up just confirms how deeply people are looking into the network.

derbyfan1

Strictly BTC

sushi_plots

BTC stack a coldcard

letsdrinktothat

Interesting - the product page indeed shows up to 0.02% APY unbonded/0.04% bonded, but then in the "Why you should strike BTC on Kraken" section, it says "In return, you can earn up to 1% annually on your BTC holdings". I don't get it.

Nice_Material_2436

Of course it about the BTC price. Nobody cares about how much BTC they have, all they care about is how much they can sell it for because you can't do anything with a BTC besides trying to sell it to the next fool.

BrokenHefaistos

Lol, some memer we yet have to discover, remeber BTC used to be for small scum...drug dealers...now it's from big scum bankers and YUGE PEETUS

OldHamburger7923

I bought the Jade Plus, didn't open it immediately. Months later I open it and the right button is sticky, it doesn't depress half the time. Super pain in the ass to use. If the hardware wasn't so cheaply made, I would recommend it. But I also had Trezor issues, with the device I had dying after a firmware update. I won't even get into Ledger issues - recommend them the least. If I were buying again right now, I'd look for something with BTC only, a keyboard, and known for solid hardware. Not sure if there is much that matches all 3, but should have something that matches at least 2.

Enrrabador

BTC

Bogdanoff_dump_it

My long term hodl conviction coins are BTC, ETH and SOL. No memes, low caps or shitcoins for me

Enrrabador

Unfortunately, it’s gone. You can flag the wallet so that when they cash out you get their details but bandits are smart, they will coinjoin the BTC and move it around so the trace gets lost, even if you do happen to understand who this person is, getting your BTC back will be nearly impossible

Fortune_Donut7432

I'd get some ETH also. It is quite low right now, it will go way higher soon. So get some ETH, some BTC. You'll have a great return during the next bullrun.

Rshellnizzle

I have a Trezor, it works fine and I’ve never had a problem with it. Do research on what you want and know that you don’t necessarily need a hardware wallet there’s other methods to secure your BTC.

AnxiousIndividual606

Kept my keys on a piece of paper in my safe . And I transferred my BTC from exchange to phantom because I saw stuff about not keeping ur money on exchanges . But yeah will definetly get a hard wallet in future if I can manage to stack up again 

whisperedstate

BTC generates zero yield, why should anyone get anything for depositing BTC on a platform? There is no lending market outside of leverage trading and that is fractions of a percent at best. You're much better off incentivizing stablecoins as a platorm, where you can actually get yield.

unknowngloomth

I hope he takes BTC back to 16k 😈

unknowngloomth

Is that your arguement? Lmaooo which is funny because I hold BTC too the worst performing asset for 1 year whereas my S&P, and some ETFs been blowing BTC out of water. You fucking loser. Keep putting your eggs in one basket. I will keep diversifying. We aren't the same.

aaj094

Anyone understand why Kraken's 'BTC staking using Babylon' has such a pathetic low apr of 0.02% (paid out in BABY tokens)? Like, what even are they thinking offering something as ludicrous like that? Got to have some decent proposition for anyone to consider depositing btc on a platform.

unknowngloomth

You know what it's comedy gold? BTC is down about 50% from its ATHs whereas this one alt I've been holding for 1 year now is only down about 7% . In other words, BTC is down about 42% for 1 year whereas the alt I've been holding for 1 year is up about 79% for 1 year. If I listened to maxi BTC tards. I'd be missing out gains.

Aseira

BTC is the best bet long term. ETH if you like more risk. I wouldn't touch anything else.

Novel-Common-3547

Talking about future, we have to take into account a possibility of crypto space being more and more (if not fully) integrated into current financial systems. With that in mind, big financial institutions would probably go with ISO compliant cryptos. Those are mainly XRP, ADA, XLM, MIOTA, ALGO, HBAR, XDC and QNT. Will BTC be around? Well, probably yes. Being the biggest now, being considered a store of value “like gold”, it will probably be with us for many many many years. Big players like ETH and SOL have big and great communities behind them. But, I am honestly not sure if that is enough, if cryptos become integrated. I think they would, if not being ISO compliant, lose its value. Interesting, tho very speculative, is Worldcoin. Sam Altman being one of the creators and Peter Thiel being one of the primary financial backers, who knows what can happen.

Monster213213

What’s the point of having hundreds of billions of dollars of BTC if no one believes you’ll ever sell it - for profit, to protect your equity, or for dividends They believe it now.

rankinrez

The actual level of buy support in real dollars for BTC is relatively thin. Selling large amounts of it for dollars will influence the price. Simple as.

Syrion1984

I've been around for long enough to not really get panicked by anything anymore at this point. All I see with these sells are possibilities to strengthen my holdings on the dip. Been doing it for years now and will continue to do so until I acquire enough BTC to become financially independent.

Why buy shitcoins when you can short them to hedge against BTC dumps.

Gr8WallofChinatown

If the bubble bursts then you’re going to see BTC crater down. Rates are going to rise twice due to inflation. If the bubble bursts Saylor will have to dump most of his bags soon because he is barely affording his debt and interest obligations

zzzipitt

I use trezor 5 BTC only. Never had any problems and I like it.

ValorousAnt

Well don't take my word for it. But here is how I feel: * Crypto-sentiment very low plus it is already mainstream. I feel like the amount of gullible investors is exhausted for a few years. Need a new batch. The average degen that used to gamble on crypto has moved to prediction markets or stocks. Why invest in BTC when you can find 20-100x gains on tech stocks. * Stock market is starting to show signs of AI hype exhaustion on multiple levels. Bubble will pop but will it be months or years from now. Who knows. If stock market shits the bed it will 100% make crypto shit the bed as well. * MSTR business model relies on cheap money + ever-increasing BTC value appreciation + degen investors.

Romanizer

Schiff is just salty because he couldn't load up as much as Strategy. I bet he only has a few hundred BTC.

quintavious_danilo

BTC is up for the week. They sold into an upward movement, which is quite clever.

Mission_Sir2220

Yes, but once you fail into the water you want something tangible that save your life, that’s have a real value and save you. BTC and any currency that is not backed by anything physical is just a state of mind, you can give any value you want. It is like art you can agree or disagree it has function the value is purely speculative and opinionated. Thats why finding mathematical properties is just an illusion.

Laukess

Why not burn the 95%? Wallets with less than 0.1 BTC isn't really a thing you can track. It would be UTXO's with less than 0.1 BTC. They wouldn't be 'fairly' distributed that way. You would probably end up giving a lot of bitcoin to people who's got a lot of small UTXO's, maybe a small store or exchanges that ends up with a lot of small UTXO's from withdrawals. Think Coinbase was in that position in 2017, where they had millions in bitcoin they could not spend because the fees were too expensive.

Lavayo

With the selling yesterday MSTR hast bought 847.395 BTC and sold 3620 BTC. Yes, the BTC sold yesterday were sold at a loss - which enables them to use them as a tax write off. But at that ratio I really don't see a consistent pattern of buy high sell low. If anything they DCA. A better point is that MSTR tends to BUY the top. MSTR has more capital available when BTCs/MSTRs price is higher. They have to buy the top to some extend. YTD they bought 67,99% of the coins they bought in 2024 (year with most aquired BTC yet). In a bear market. Thats 21,57x the BTC they managed to buy in the entirety of last bear market year in 22, if they don't buy another coin til new year. In all likelyhood it will be considerably more.

Educational_Cable405

Worth checking whose sale that actually was. When the headline says Saylor sold, it's usually him personally offloading MSTR shares he got from options or covering a tax bill, not the company touching its treasury BTC. Strategy's actual coins haven't moved. Same scary dollar number gets printed for two completely unrelated things.

SamCroww

Strategy dumps, BTC pumps.

Dangerous_Relief8971

the runway math is right but it assumes credit markets stay open to Strategy the whole time. the real tail risk isn't the dividend itself, it's what happens to that monetization capacity if BTC grinds sideways AND their own borrowing costs go up at the same time. schiff's framing is dumb but "does the market stay liquid enough for them to keep tapping it" is the actual question

Ill_Imagination_6791

Just uy 2-4 hardware wallet. And split the BTC. Just to be sure and secure

Lavayo

MSTR has more capital available when BTCs/MSTRs price is higher. They have to buy the top to some extend. That said they bought 67,99% of the coins they bought in 2024 (year with most BTC buys) just in 6 months YTD. In a bear market. Thats 21,57x the BTC they managed to buy in the entirety of last bear market year in 22, if they don't buy another coin til new year. In all likelyhood it will be considerably more. I would say they are "timing the market" as good as it is practically possible. In they end they just DCA.

chenda_lin

LazyLifeguard

It takes too long time to move the BTC to another wallet / exchange and wait for confirmations to be real. The price dumped 80% by this point. That being said, he would still be rich but like you say everyone knows who he is. Not easy decision.

Recent-Bill7570

Avoid the MSTR Ponzi and consider buying BTC directly if you want exposure to the market.

Realistic_Fee_00001

Somewhere in the NgU craze this knowledge got lost. It didn't help that BTC refused to scale and could not process enough transactions during peak usage.

theultimateusername

Start sending random amounts of BTC to different wallets, one being your own 🤣

19YoJimbo93

Good thing BTC’s price is falling.

Realistic_Fee_00001

Well, that's provable wrong since BTC hardforked already before 2017. There were no free coins. I don't know how often I have to tell you that. The coins split, like a stock split. >Soft forking the signature method is not exactly the same Soft forks has been propagandized because it gives the devs overproportional power. A hard fork is simply a fork that expands the rule set. A Soft fork is a fork that tightens the rule set. That's it. Any sane approach uses both according to what is needed. Segwit was a hard fork at heart because it introduced new rules outsite the current rule set. To make it a soft fork they hid all the new rules from old nodes behind "anyone can spend" transactions. Old nodes don't even get sent the Segwit part.

Internet_is_tough

People don't know that there isn't a Satoshi wallet. A "Satoshi wallet" reallity has been implied by the Quantum fudders who want to make you believe someone will push a button and steal 1m bitcoins. In reality Satoshi's BTC are spread amongst 20 thousand addresses containing exactly 50 BTC each. It wasn't a way for him to keep a fortune it was just kickstarting the network with the first mined blocks. Obviously no one can know the private keys to those addresses, there is nothing to be found.

Fro3en_Cornchip

Personally I would go BTC only wallets. When it was my first purchase it came down to jade, coldcard and bitbox02. All are good choices.

Buy BTC now and sell when it gets to 4x after the next halving in 2 to 2.5 years. Rinse and repeat.

Rain_sc2

There is zero point in buying MSTR because of the infinite dilution risk whenever they raise capital by selling ATM newly printed shares If you want leverage just buy perps, you’ll fare much better. Or even better dont lever up and just put it all in BTC

SkyEnvironmental7746

No thanks on the BTC

Remarkable_Wish_5106

BTC has an identity crisis now, it doesn't serve any role in a portfolio, and it has lost what role it plays in the financial markets. Maybe over time it can be solved, or it might just go into a long-term bear market.

EmJay6010

None of these patterns really hold weight if you think about it objectively. The traditional bottom has been historically right after the price moved below the 200 WMA. That already happened. Also, the last halving didn't quite match up time wise with the ATH. Also all of these assumptions are based on what, a N of 4 or 5? Tell me where anywhere in statistical analysis that this N value holds any power. So these "patterns" are based on some cycle, which in itself doesn't quite match up to other technical markers within its own previous cycles, where we have introduced a new variable and a large, if not the largest source of liquidity ever seen for BTC in etfs, never present before in any other cycle, yet, we expect this arbitrary 4 year "cycle" to hold true

PermaWatchingDXY_67

I'd build a BTC position FIRST, before taking on additional alt risk

ZaimonXd

CODE_HEIST

i get the simplicity of that view. BTC, ETH, and SOL are cleaner than chasing every rotation. my point is more that if someone is going outside that basket, they need a real invalidation plan before buying. otherwise the mistake already happened.

SpacklingCumFart

Na, they have real assets going live on their chains and are being used by large financial institutions. BTC might be the alt at this point as it does nothing, provides nothing and yields nothing.

Altcoin mistakes start with buying an altcoin. There are only 3 viable plays in crypto, BTC, ETH, and SOL.
