$10k BTC by EOY 2021

Plastic_Decision7495

Look, in all serious... yes, BTC can absolutely jump like that in a day. Welcome to crypto. This kind of volatility is pretty much the norm here, not the exception. You're not missing anything—you're just experiencing what everyone who's been in this space has felt at some point.\\n\\nHere's the thing: trying to time the perfect entry is how most people end up either sitting on the sidelines forever or buying the top. If you're asking yourself "should I have gotten in earlier," the answer is always yes in hindsight. But that doesn't help you now.\\n\\nA few things worth noting:\\n- Don't chase pumps. Seriously. FOMO is real and it'll wreck you.\\n- If you're genuinely interested, consider DCA (dollar-cost averaging). Buy a small amount regularly instead of trying to nail the perfect moment.\\n- Zoom out on the charts. What looks crazy on a 1-day chart might be a blip on the yearly view.\\n- This market will humble you. Size your position so that if it drops 30% tomorrow, you can sleep at night.\\n\\nNot financial advice, but if you're confused and everyone else is euphoric, that's usually a sign to slow down and do more research. DYOR before putting real money in.\\n\\nOne of us! One of us!

BTC price isn’t at its lowest, it’s still closer to its highest.

Full-Mine-8520

is now a good time to buy BTC? I mainly focus on how easy it is to swap in and out using OpenSea, since it’s wallet-based and supports multiple chains like Ethereum and Base. that flexibility helps me adjust quickly if the market moves against me.

soks86

Hear me out, I'm gonna use those $5 of short derivatives to make $15, which I will then turn (at least partially) into real BTC after the price does in fact drop. So each $1 in the exchange lets me buy more BTC while also delaying the increase in price and keeping BTC higher on the downside as well (because when those shorts make money, I sell them and then go long). Don't worry though, if you take yours off someone else will keep them on once they can get interest on it and that's inevitable.

ETH is a shitcoin, BTC is a shitcoin, USD is a shitcoin.

hannyayoukai

I hope and pray every single day that BTC hits $34K by late 2027. I want this crash to last at least 2 years minimum. And if people like you sell then even better. Cause I believe this is truly the last time we will see a 65-72% crash. The next crash around 2030 will only be ~-50%.

Comfortable-Half5165

Right now, it’s clear that utility and real-world adoption matter most. BTC and ETH are obvious long-term anchors, but RYO stands out too. It’s building payments, AI tools, and compliance-ready infrastructure, which gives it real value beyond hype. Coins with actual use cases and growing ecosystems are the ones likely to survive rumors and skepticism. [https://ryocoin.com/](https://ryocoin.com/)

Horror-Sector7498

Keeping it simple and consistent is key. For long-term accumulation, I’d do something similar with BTC and ETH for stability, and sprinkle in RYO for real utility and ecosystem growth. Spot only, small regular buys, no FOMO. That’s a strategy that works across cycles.

DuckBroker

Years of staring at charts angry? 2 years ago BTC was way lower than it is now. Why were you angry then but happy now?

Horror-Sector7498

Market drops don’t mean crypto is dying. They’re part of the cycle. Instead of going all-in, consider small DCA buys and focus on projects with real utility like BTC for stability and RYO for long-term ecosystem growth. The dip can dip more. Patience is key.

seomajster

Not even close. S&P500 is very high. Same with Nikkei 225 Probability od looses on stock market is high - this will put BTC way lower than now.

Own_Captain_3716

BTC or nothing. Everything else is a gamble

brandonholm

BTC is perfect money, that’s what it does. It’s better money than gold or silver, and certainly better than stablecoins or ETH.

piggleii

Yeah it’s true they are completely different. For example, Satoshi, unlike Vitalik, isn’t aggressively dumping his ETH, and Bitcoin doesn’t have a BTC Foundation that also regularly dumps ETH printed out of thin air.

Dilokilo

Seriously dude ? Open Binance and put monthly charts, since BTC is over 3000$, it never had 4 months or red... But keep living the dream i guess ! Fantasies are fun rides.

OpticallyMosache

The FUD echo chamber is getting pretty strong. I think this is the most negative and uncertain BTC has ever been in the public forum. That's always been a good sign in the past. Probably going to get worse before it gets better. If you're using money you can afford to lose, this may be the highest percentage chance of getting the upside of a major asymmetrical risk.

alxkwl

I love the platform. Buy eth, supply on AAVE, borrow USDT at 40% LTV while prices are low and the interest cancels out, buy BTC. HODL. Wait for previous ATH and unload.

Specific_Essay6041

Not selling, but do not have the conviction anymore to make BTC a significant % of my investments. Very small amount of my portfolio allocated to it

Illustrious_Way3898

What does BTC do? Look at the gold or silver charts vs BTC. At least ETH has use cases like stablecoins and DeFi. And its security budget keeps improving while Bitcoin’s keeps worsening.

BitchScizzors

But wouldn't one phone call freeze a BTC transaction by Venezuela as well?

MerkleChainsaw

Fair point, and I definitely agree that BTC shouldn’t have dividends or be valued like stocks. It was just an example of why stocks could be positive sum and Bitcoin zero sum even though both are traded assets. I think the original vision of Bitcoin was positive sum - where people would use it to transfer value and be happy using it even if they don’t profit. Today I think selling to someone else at a higher price is the only reason the vast majority owns BTC.

Electrical-Yard1582

BTC is a cryptocurrency, and I think we're at the stage where if it's going to be take seriously people need to start using it as a currency.  Everyone is "HODLing" it and would never use any of it as a currency. It's used as a speculative investment.  The price should be able to go to $5,000 a coin and people being happy trading it and using it as an actual decentralized currency. It's not what's happening though so I don't know what revolution you're referring to 

drunkentoubib

diversification is key. of course people in this sub believe in bitcoin but you should stay money smart. current price is ok to enter but BTC could fall further. Impossible to estimate the future.

Greedy-Pizza3236

If you're in the US and unsure how to start, OpenSea lets you buy BTC directly from your wallet with multi-chain support. The non-custodial aspect is cool because no withdrawals get stuck waiting for approvals. Definitely helped me get started quicker than some centralized apps.

ChargingWarthog

Typical reddit BTC investor liquidity right here lmfao

Homey-Airport-Int

I mean if we're talking about single assets like BTC, plenty who were too concentrated in a single stock have had massive hits due to the risk of being concentrated in one or a few assets.

88_Snackfire

Yea man, at 27 who cares. You can always make more money down the road even if it doesn’t pan out, which it prob will. It’s an opportunity to hold 1 full BTC, something that likely will be unattainable for most down the road. A few K in interest is manageable. NFA

cuervo_gris

lmao people said the same about BTC topping in October but guess what, once again BTC topped on Q4 of the post halving year

Fijiambed

Take 20% spreads between dips or buy at $10K dips and tuck it into your PRIVATE WALLET. Supply and demand will then speak for itself as the available 18 million or so BTC will then not be available to the exchanges for manipulation, which will cause havoc and chaos for short sellers, and Wall Street (supply & demand). Retail will finally win and will have the final say, once retail gets smart enough to tuck BTC into their private wallets. Buy @ $55K, @ $45K and at $35K, it will be game over for the shorts very shortly, once BTC is put away in private wallets.

Day1exchange

We talked about it in this week's podcast. The sentiment, news, and adoption has never been more bullish. The market just isn't, because the retail liquidity is low. But Bitcoin as a platform or "product" has never been stronger. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bmqalbe0\_A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bmqalbe0_A) Liquidity will eventually flow and find BTC again.

Life-Republic2311

It’s the same people that will buy again as soon as the FUD dissipates.. I’m not buying trash.. I mean dollars with BTC 💎

grayjacanda

Keep in mind that crypto is a whole ecosystem, most coins (including BTC) have some flow of new supply that needs to be bought to maintain the price level ... and that buying all of it requires a net inflow of tens of millions of dollars per day. For example, 5 billion Dogecoin are mined every year. At $0.10 each that would require $500 million of net purchases every year, somewhat over $1 million dollars per day. So even if no one is dumping their holdings at a loss at any given moment, there can still be downward pressure on prices if there is no sentiment that would draw in enough new money to buy all the miners' output.

Due-Candy-8929

Personally I bought a little more crypto the other day when BTC crashed to 60k … a little bit of SOL XRP and ETH… while prices are down I plan to buy more over time

BacchusAndHamsa

the ones in finance sites not dedicated to crypto but also to stocks, bonds, metals. Ever read Barrons, The Street, Bloomberg? Note this is not doom mongering for BTC or ETH over long haul but near term bottom. A time to load up.

Day1exchange

I don’t think the bank will care that much if you’re buying crypto, provided your income and overall financial position supports those purchases. What I would personally suggest, not financial advice, is using a go-between digital bank. Transfer from your main bank into a neo-bank (for example, Up Bank) and label it as savings when it leaves your primary account. Then fund your crypto exchange from that neo-bank. Worst case, if you ever need to liquidate BTC, you can sell and return the AUD to that same account to demonstrate balance and keep your bank comfortable. Alternatively, you could take a crypto-backed loan depending on market conditions. Again, not financial advice. Using a go-between bank also reduces the risk of your primary bank freezing or debanking you over crypto transactions. One more thing, and yes it will sound like a shameless plug because [Day1x.io](http://Day1x.io) genuinely ticks these boxes, is choosing an exchange with fast, free deposits and, importantly, fast, free withdrawals. If you ever need to quickly convert to AUD to demonstrate liquidity, that matters. And of course, lowest spreads and trading fees don’t hurt either 🙂

OpticallyMosache

I love hearing about people that realized some gains in the most recent bull market. I missed my chance in 2021, so I was committed to taking some profits this time. I averaged my sales around $110 (missed the top) but sold enough to quit my toxic job and coast for a year. I've not been working for four months now and my BTC sale is covering $5k a month in living expenses/insurance/etc If I get a job now, the remaining proceeds can go back into buying BTC.

joner888

Is this why BTC has gone down so much?

I feel like an old-fashioned boomer by now. All I have ever done is but actual bitcoin, either P2P, or from a broker or exchange. I never accumulate more that ~€2500 in BTC on exchanges before moving it to self-custody. No ETFs, no derivatives, no shorts, no longs.

Bitcoin is volatile because you are pricing it in fiat, 1 BTC is still 1 BTC in the end.

brian-augustin

To think BTC is the same price two years ago compared to the stock market is insane. No longer a fan of BTC.

pooya535

idk man I've held BTC through enough crazy cycles that this feels fine, the first major scare in 2017/18 when it "crashed" down from 20k was the only time I panic sold a bit and I still regret it. BTC 'investing' is gambling, but with enough time you can turn a bit of fun money into real money (I've got a cost basis of ~6k) I agree that people should be better about taking profits but "buy the dip" is not /that/ crazy (assuming it's not your main investment) do mostly VOO but toss some $ at crypto and hold and you can see really great returns

I assume this is humor but not tagged that way? Is that what "(Meme)" is supposed to indicate? The halving refers to when the block award is halved, approximately every four years, and not when the price halves, which happens due to the volatility of BTC's price. The price has more than halved quite a few times before;

starting off, I used OpenSea for trading BTC tokens wallet-based. It supports multi-chain swaps and doesn't hold your funds, so there's no withdrawal delay like some exchanges. Have you checked out their fee structure or multi-wallet support yet?

If you go to the website I left in my comment above and click TIMELINE, it shows a quote from every single time BTC was declared dead. Funny, it was reported in the media as dead 3 more times since I posted it. 🤣 (...and in case my tone isn't coming through as it is the internet and all, I consider every attempt to declare BTC dead to be complete and total bullshit.)

Post is by: Animalverse and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://animalverse.social/community/p/33271/ bitcoin briefly tumbled below $66,000 twice, as the cryptocurrency market endured yet another volatile trading session. Data reveals that Bitcoin first plummeted by nearly $2,800 in just one hour—dropping from approximately $68,500 to $65,719 at 10:00 a.m. EST—before a quick rebound back above $67,000. However, the recovery was short-lived; the top cryptocurrency slipped back to roughly $65,800 just two hours later. Bitcoin’s topsy-turvy price action was fueled by a backdrop of conflicting headlines. First reports surfaced that Blackrock moved 600 BTC to a Coinbase Prime address. While often a routine rebalancing, market participants frequently view such moves as a precursor to selling, which adds significant downward pressure. https://animalverse.social/community/p/33271/ \#Bitcoin #BTC #USJobs #Crypto #Cryptocurrency #USEconomy #Bitstamp #CryptoMarket *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

For the sake of this debate let’s just all pretend everyone agrees that it’s only use case now is Digital Store of Value. Question: Does BTC’s use case still have large enough value to be a crypto leader and a hedge on inflation compared to other options? Reasons why it may not: \*\*Security from govts, thieves:\*\* \\- Epstein files reveal possible built in back doors. US govt has effectively taken or retrieve BTC \\- Using cold wallets won’t matter once you try to use the BTC and trade/sell it. \\- Quantum still a question \\- Holding a cold wallet has its own dangers of loss, stealing, damage, etc \*\*Digital Asset Competition\*\* \\- tokenization, RWA’s, etc. provide the ability to hold assets including gold,silver, etc. digitally and securely. \\- Ease of entry into tokenized gold silver is growing quickly. \\- Cold wallets are complicated for most people and the benefits of cryptos speed and ease are negated here. \\- Regulation strengths the assurance of keeping crypto in exchanges. \*\*Removes the benefit of “your keys your coins”.\*\* As crypto becomes more mainstream like stocks, commodities the vast majority will not be privately held in good wallets, so its value will be tied to the majority of BTC on exchanges. \\- People still like gold and silver and can still hold that in their basement as they always have Value gain: \\- BTC may 2-4x in the next 1-5 years \\- “\*Crypto” is being adopted for\* \*\*\*Utility\*\*\*.

JKimRX

For me, I really do think this is a chance to jump in early (yes, we’re still early) on a generational shift in how stores of value are exchanged Not so long ago, people used cash to pay for everything. Then came paper checks. It was unheard of, that someone could write a value amount on a piece of paper, sign it, and that paper was now worth said amount. Then credit cards and online banking. Again, crazy to think that a piece of plastic (with a chip) can access your funds. Next was peer to peer, like Venmo, CashApp, Zelle using mobile apps and mobile banking. Finance is always evolving and IMO, All of this is leading towards decentralized digital currency, with BTC as the backbone. I believe BTC hasn’t exploded yet because it’s not yet accessible for mass public, but it will be.

OpticallyMosache

It's crazy how many people don't think BTC will be hitting a new ATH in 2028. One day, BTC will be at $180k and you'll remember when it was $60-70k. When it's roaring to new ATHs, you wish it dipped so you could buy more. If you're scared, uncertain, or just "over it" you are going to miss out.

Survivaleast

It’s wild to see history repeat itself here again and again. I’ve been watching/involved for 12+ years. The masses buy when things look good, panic sell on the way down, rely on some influencer to decide when to buy back in, or just go full ravenous zombie on the newest social media scam coin. History is full of warnings against social manipulations like Doge, safemoon, Luna, hawktuah coin, dinkdoink and thousands of other stupid coins. Yet the masses fomo in on whatever’s trending in hopes to get rich quick. Bitcoin has been pronounced dead around 500 times since its inception. Meanwhile Ethereum has been flanked by hundreds of other competitors claiming they’re the new ETHkiller on the block. All of them dying fast or slow deaths instead. At the end of the day it’s just patience, BTC and ETH. Most everything else is toxic pollution corrupting the market space.

I’m a total newbie to this, but if #2 and #3 are correct , when should i buy ? Why not now if my investment plans are to gradually cash out starting in 10 years ? I only want 10-15 years worth of exposure in BTC. After that I hope to be six feet under , pushing up daisies …

The sad reality is that BTC is now just another captured KYC asset for the institutions to transfer value from retail.

United_Environment62

Don't do what I did. I won 30k 3 years ago. BTC was 15k. I was contracted in to do a building job and used that money to float it. Should have bought 2 BTC. That 30k would have been worth 250k a while ago, but instead, I'm still waiting to get paid, (3 yrs later) and missed the opportunity of a lifetime

_Commando_

Us Gov was gonna buy a million BTC, which never happened. Narative now changed to "we'll just seize btc and put them in the treasury" so there is 0 buy demand for btc from gov. Basically nothing changed.

chaosenhanced

The value in dollars changes violently, but the maxi's denote goods in BTC. 1 BTC is 1 BTC like 1 house is 1 house. You're right though, hard assets don't make good currencies. I think the hope is for what will be built on top of BTC. And that the future systems built on BTC will be more representative and fair compared to any Fiat currency in history. I can imagine a world where the only L1 transactions are between L2 institutions.

I believe in BTC, but this just feels like a cheesy attempt to attach it to the AI bandwagon. It's like how every big company has been required to mention AI every other word for the last few years.

mjs1050

You can drive to work in a car. Can't do that with BTC.

2xfun

It depends. So far institutions, companies and countries bought BTC via OTC (without any price impact). So realistically speaking the only market movers are the retailers. Same formula with the dark pool for the stock market. There are 2 worlds: the ultra wealthy and the rest of us.

3eepwood

4 year cycles are not exclusive to BTC and have happened numerous times in other asset classes. See the SPX. Eventually they do break though.

stefansilva_xrp

But wall street could also turn BTC into a stock with little no volatility.

stefansilva_xrp

yep but know imagine we fall to 45k. and ETH at 1k. 4 years later BTC hits 200k and ETH hits 4.9k again. That is a major concern

stefansilva_xrp

The main culprit for that is ETH/BTC ratio. I am sure if ETH didnt go down during 2024/2025 alts wouldve pumped maybe not like before but wouldnt be in a bad place now.

Standard-Invite-593

C'est juste le mot littéralement que tout le monde emploi à toutes les sauces qui me dérangeait. Sinon sur le fond le BTC qui tombe à 0 n'est pas totalement exclus. La Chine est en train de prendre des mesures radicales, il est officiel qu'il est possible de geler des BTC pour une raison x ou y et la fiscalité sur le BTC peut se durcir du jour ou lendemain sur simple décision politique

stefansilva_xrp

The ETH/BTC ratio ever going higher right know it is at 0.028. I am asking whether it will go above 0.05 again.

stefansilva_xrp

I didnt say that. Crypto will recover. What I am saying is this based on deminishing returns next cycle BTC will probably top at 200k. BTC if it bottoms at 45k thats a roughly under 5x return if ETH follows BTC and falls to 1k. ETH will hit an ATH of just under 5k again. That is what I am saying I am talking strictly ratio wise.

KlogereEndGrim

1 BTC = 1 BTC now and forever.

BacchusAndHamsa

well, if someone buys BTC then they believe something about its future. I do, just waiting for that bottom is all. Not like I'm believing doom (except for leverage longs and daytraders) but just buying opportunity. Hopefully very soon.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Some alts didn't reach a new ATH this time around, but still had more gains than BTC. If BTC drops to $21K, but only reaches $105K next bull cycle you still made 5x in just 3 years.

BacchusAndHamsa

Yes, the ones that aren't BTC hype mongers say that, your favorite crypto news site isn't it. Go read something that doesn't echo your head canon.

1 BTC is always 1 BTC, which is exactly why it’s the only asset that can't be manipulated by a board of directors or a central bank.

Jesse-359

They mostly are - or more to the point they're ditching BTC to run AI farms instead.

riscten

Pretty much all new cars lose 25% in value in the first year and 55% in the first 5 years. And yet people are irrationally addicted to them, to the point where North American cities are built around cars instead of people, riddled with multilane highways and endless parking spaces. So yeah, I'd say "governments, institutions, and influencers" are "actively supporting it". I have no idea what point you're trying to make, but BTC lost 31% in the last year, so comparable to a car, and grew by 43% over the last 5 years, so absolutely not comparable to a car.

Mantis-Prawn

Most cars do exactly this, and there are more people owning a car than people owning 1 BTC.

IronicHipsterCake

What a dumb post. Cars immediately depreciate 20% once you drive it off the lot and are absolutely depreciating asset. Unless you are buying something very rare and sought after, the most value your car will ever have is the moment before you buy it.  Come up with less regarded examples that don't in anyway relate to buying BTC.

Furrier

Not directly, but there are instruments that track BTC etc.

LMskouta

Man you reminded me of a friend’s friend who liquidated their 401k, paid a lump sum tax AND the penalty to dump it all in BTC. Even in the good times, it sounded like a dumb idea. Sure, down the road it could pay off but right now? I’m sure they wished stayed diversified.

SameWeekend13

But Reddit promised me 50K BTC, still waiting for my 50K BTC.

Inevitable_Pin7755

For me it started as quick money too if I’m honest. I saw people making insane gains and thought why not. But the longer I stayed, the more it shifted from price to principles. What really made it click was the idea that it’s the only asset with a fixed supply that no government can print more of. Every other form of saving gets diluted over time. BTC doesn’t. Whether it works or not long term is another debate, but the design itself is different. I don’t see it as replacing everything. I see it as insurance against the system slowly eating your purchasing power. I write about this kind of thinking from a London perspective, just how I’m personally navigating money and investing without hype. It’s on my profile if you’re interested.

dca-bot

Why not just chill, focus on your craft (maybe increase income) and then DCA until 10 BTC ?

Bronshtein

I'm intrigued about the leverage point. If it's at 67k-ish now, and one were to add leverage to some fairly low margin floor (e.g., 20k) - would it really be bad idea? I'm also quite interested in the BTC power law which has so far never been proven wrong (ok that one small blip). But look at the bottom range of 53k on the power law with these current prices, really makes me interested in juicing returns (I mean 3-5 years out) while its possible.

DudeLife666

Wrong, they are beautiful. All you are seeing is the 4 year cycle in motion. We are in the bear now. I expect more pain between now and October. BTC is right where it should be. If anything this is when you begin to DCA back in. I sold around 115k. Because Bitcoin is easy. Don't worry about the day to day BS. Look at the macro, not the micro.

stefansilva_xrp

not just that I dont think ETH will ever hit 1T in market cap. It should be at 400B at thi stime but its in the 200B range. If BTC falls to 45k and ETH to 1k the next cycle BTC will prob top at 200 which is under 5x which will probe ETH top again at under 5k.

Todo inicio con Cetes, me enseñe a ver como mi dinero se "salvaba" de la devaluación gracias a estos rendimientos, después Cetes bajó y encontré esta alternativa, BTC.
