BTC

hey_GM

Just saying sad to see BTC serving main street. No way is a tremendous asset.

GinormousHippo458

I said this exact thing about miners when the reward was 25BTC, looking forward to now. I was terribly mistaken.

YSL_Crypto

I agree. I’m planning to buy .5 BTC once it hits $60k

hawkeling

I’ve been running this on my VPS for a couple months now. just remember if you do it the prize you need to pay a miner to silencing mine your txn because mevers can use kangaroo to reverse the private key in seconds and literally front run the reward. This has happened multiple times with the BTC puzzle

I never use BTC, only XMR and LTC.

Except 15 yr old BTC isn’t early. Your showing up after the banks.

LTC actually beating BTC in payment on BITPAY, next year Litecoin is going to dominate payment here in CoinGate. LOL

What are you on about? BTC is terrible as currency. Imagine buying your home, let's say a 2 bedroom house, in September 2025 for 2BTC then priced as $250k. Today, a few months later it would be worth $180k. Likewise if you bought it in 2010 for 1 Million BTC at its high of $.39 today It would be worth $90b. Who in their right mind would pay $90b for a house? Or who in their right mind would spend asset today, that can potentially double or half in price tomorrow? It's simply bad at being a currency. And that's before the lack of tech and infrastructure to support a high level of transactions.

Back then, BTC filled the CME gap → swept liquidity → and only then continued higher. What we’re seeing in 2026 is the same structure forming again. Yes, I believe BTC will go up. But before that, there’s a high chance the market takes liquidity around $84,998 first. That level is a clear liquidation magnet. Smart money doesn’t push price up without cleaning the downside. So the plan is simple: ↓ Liquidity sweep first ↑ Expansion after Same game. Different year. Patience before confirmation wins. DYOR *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Everytime I see post like this I’m like damn I need to get a BTC rig, then the comments are on fire about how rare this actually is and I rethink myself. Then another post, and the cycle repeats

hey_GM

Financial institutions are quietly accumulating tons of BTC while keeping the price in a mid-range IMO. Once the narrative plays out, a move to 200k easily come. The unique bias here is that institutions controlling a large portion of the supply kind of betrays Bitcoin’s original moat as peer-to-peer money.

FromThePits

What takes 3 minutes to mine today(1 BTC), will require almost three years by the end of the century. The last single bitcoin will take 38 years to mine.

Meezeeks60

“capture some of the market cap” … You’re defending this statement while ironically referencing someone lacks a brain? Really? Nothing in your brain triggered as you typed that out? Not to mention the comparison between gold and BTC when they’re complete polar opposite investments? Isn’t it common sense that precious metals are a hedge against inflation? And what does that tell you when gold/silver is surging? That crypto will go up and “capture that market cap”? Or that it’ll be the 1st thing to tank? Guess we know why you invest in crypto instead of anything viable, eh? Research outside of “this guy told me to” is too much to handle? Speaking of people that lack a brain 😏

Green_Ad9723

We don't need to discuss this... I don't think you have any idea how inflationary the Euro was against the Mark... the exchange rate from €1 to DM 2 was a total scam... prices were only stable for a few months, then there was extreme inflation in Germany 🇩🇪. Money flowed to southern European countries... this strong currency was far too strong for the weaker countries of the Eurozone... therefore, the Euro was introduced across Europe at a low interest rate of 1.0%... Just buy BTC and be quiet.

HandsOnTheBible

A decade ago people would have said the opposite. If traditional markets are unstable then consumers should be flocking to crypto and other forms of decentralized currency. People forget all too soon catchphrases that were standard back in the day like "BTC is a hedge against inflation" lmao. Crazy how the underground becomes the mainstream and everything flips.

qthistory

Just to review, in mid-2025, Wood said BTC price would be $1.5 million in 2030. Then in Nov 2025, she lowered that prediction to $1.2 million price. Now two months later, she's lowered the price prediction to $800,000. How trustworthy is someone if they are changing their "long term" price predictions every couple of months?

themrgq

It's unfortunate monero isn't more widely accepted. It's by the far the best crypto for regular transactions. BTC has probably the highest fees there so any one but that one probably

derbyfan1

There are many idiots in society who also say BTC has no value. *However*, when you ask them to buy you one....

Too late, especially for someone who doesn’t know crypto. BTC and ETH are likely still worth holding. Look at stocks too. Don’t expect easy gains. Go for long term, buy and hold, investing.

if you think BTC goes to 70 or 60k you should run and buy back then but you don't know it will, none of us do

EbrithilUmaroth

Does he understand what currency is? It all has no value unless we agree it does and since BTC can be exchanged for currency and used to purchase goods that makes it also currency with the same kind of value as any other.

AgnewTheModHamster

BTC looks to be at or near a bottom, I don't about the other coins you mentioned, but trying to scoop up coins at bottom is a fool's errand. Unless you are day trading and keep an eye on the market, you should maybe be looking to buy here, not sell.

Blade_Runner_69

I mined my BTC, nice try loser! 😂

gcbeehler5

I think the issue generally is, BTC's value is tied to the US dollar index and hegemony. That worked for a long time, until the crypto bros got their hooks into the US government, and their techno-dystopian views got baked into US policy. Now they are reaping what they sowed. Over the last year the DXY is down 13ish %, and so is Bitcoin. That isn't an accident. The premise for folks who have weaker currencies, may still benefit for some period, but as the US goes this path that may not be a lasting proposition.

RobotSchlong10

>Is it still a good time to invest in crypto, or is it already “too late” for big gains? I was mining when BTC was $1,500. If you have a time machine then I suggest you use it to get in on the big gains. If you're talking about buying now, I would say no. You're too late for the big gains.

Electrical_Alarm7207

fiat will continue to exist in a hyperbitcoinized world and thats not a bad thing. You can’t run a growing economy on a deflationary asset and BTC’s value relies on inflation

yoobermcruber

Or better yet, just buy actual bitcoin. Real BTC tastes so much better.

Immediate_Raisin3082

Correcto. As long as there are enough people doubting BTC, the upside is still there. We're in a phase right now where institutional investors are moving in and BTC is moving from a risk on meme asset to risk off. Gold went through the same thing before it became THE standard.

_GOREHOUND_

Bin it and start a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase. If you seriously wanna get into BTC, consider purchasing a hardware signer.

Lol. I still remember when BTC would encounter resistance and drop every time it tried to crack $1,000. Be patient!!

Innovation is just crypto hype to sell you a bunch of shitcoins that make the founders and VC rich. The Use Cases are that are being adopted are clear: - Store of value = BTC - Payments, transfers, remittances = Stablecoins - Rails for Stablecoins = Ethereum, Tron, Solana, ETH L2s, etc. - Privacy *(Very little wide level public interest but honorable mention here)* There has been little innovation of anything that can provide real world value and adoption outside BTC. - Stablecoins were the result of the Omni Layer created on top of Bitcoin that allowed custom token ownership and transfer in the network which allowed for the creation of ICOs and the launch of Tether on the Bitcoin network. Other networks like Ethereum and Tron now provide the rails for Stablecoins instead of BTC which functions as a decentralized store of value. Smart Contracts have NOT proven to provide any type of real world value except for trading, leveraging, gambling, lending and yield farming shitcoins on DeFi casinos.

I have just recently bought 2 watches and paid with BTC, last month I bought Amazon vouchers with BTC and bought computer parts. I've bought gold with BTC. I have a card I can use to pay with crypto also. So shopping and petrol no problem! You clueless boomers need to educate yourself, before you get left behind.

I know stories like that are rare, but it made me curious about what’s actually realistic for normal people. I’m trying to understand Binance trading from a practical, experience-based angle. For someone starting with a small account (around $100) and being consistent for a month: What kind of outcomes do people usually see with spot trading? How does that compare to futures if leverage is kept low and risk-managed? Is price inefficiency trading between pairs/exchanges even viable at this size, or does it only make sense with larger capital? I’m also curious about how traders decide what to trade: Do most people stick to BTC/ETH? Focus on volume and volatility? Follow narratives or news cycles? Or simply trade whatever has momentum that day? Another area I’m trying to understand is automation tools on Binance: Are the built-in tools actually useful, or mostly situational? Do people rely on external platforms or custom setups? What approaches are commonly used (grid-style strategies, averaging, trend-based rules)? Do these tools make sense for small accounts, or do they mainly help with execution rather than profitability? I’m not looking for shortcuts or guarantees. I’m interested in: What tends to work What usually fails What expectations are reasonable And where beginners typically make mistakes If you’ve traded for a while, I’d value real experiences and rough numbers over hype or screenshots. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It is clearly the debasement hedge (well alongside gold). BTC beats the market virtually every year since its inception on the long term trend. And has stretches of 1000% gains over 5 years. As USD falls, BTC automatically is propped up. Covid had BTC at 3k for a split second. Then it rallied to ATH for FTX to happen. And it *still* rallied *after* FTX?! We are exactly where we’re supposed to be in the cycle. Bleed to 60k and pop to 200k next halving. I’ve been buying BTC for one reason or another since 2014. Almost all my big purchases have been from gains from understanding this debasement hedge. I bought a house with just BTC gains, outright, in cash. I bought my dream car outright in cash (only a CTR but still) I’m 27.

Excellent-Yellow-883

I bought Ada in 2021 when it is 1/3 of ATH. I sold it recently and change to something else after it become 1/3 of what I paid for.. 4-5 years later. Invest on BTC/ETH or bet on other altcoin. Ada is not going anywhere. When it “has potential” for so long, it is actually a lost cause.

ed45626

ETF's carry higher transaction costs, and when you short an ETF they don't sell the bitcoin -- they borrow shares from the broker and sell them, owing the shares back to the broker. The number of bitcoin is still held by the ETF until they buy back and remove the shares from circulation. If a large number of traders shorts an ETF it will depress the price of the ETF, but this is balanced by other traders purchasing the ETF, since they can essentially purchase BTC at a discount (book value doesn't change). This is the system that keeps the price of the ETF in line with the value of the underlying instrument. Bottom line, ETF selling does not directly impact BTC price, it may reflect a lack of trust in BTC but not the price just as selling perpetual futures doesn't affect the price of the spot commodity.

ptcarballo

Predicting Bitcoin's short-term movements is always tricky with so many factors at play! Support and resistance levels are key, but sentiment can shift rapidly. For tracking these dynamics, I've found tools like the BTC Daily Report helpful for daily briefings. Ultimately, do your own research!

dylonz

She has depression but with the sale of BTC I can finally afford medication.

Right now its a circus. Bulls want bears to think all is OK. When the entire crypto scene is burning down last few days. Its all based on the domino effect BTC gets hit they all do. My own opinion is another setup will occur dropping this into the 70K I think it will end up resting there. The reality is no one feels confident in the economy right now. And ppl pulled to be safe, and that hurts.

Feels like classic macro fear bleeding into crypto. Every time trade war headlines pop up, BTC suddenly remembers it’s “risk-on” again.

Financial-Cod-1985

The RSI (100) for BTC, on the weekly chart, is currently sitting at 53.48. The average RSI (100) for a bear market bottom is roughly 48. Typically, Bitcoin has a major capitulation of 30-50% from the RSI of 53.48 to 48. My price target is $65-75k for BTC by October 2026.

“That is because they did not study self custody.” That’s the thing. Nobody has to study how a bank works, because it does it for you. The issue with Bitcoin maxis is that they don’t understand the reality of finances for the laymen. Most people have absolutely no interest in ever having to worry about if their money is safe and secure. If they are scammed, they call the bank and get refunded. If the bank inexplicably goes under their money is insured by the federal government. Self custody is great, but the peace of mind of knowing your money is safe is far more important to most people. This is precisely why BTC will never be used as an actual currency and will only ever be relegated to merely being a store of value.

Patient-Ordinary-359

not if you realise that "value" means different things to different people. There is a not insignificant group of experienced and very wealthy people in the finance industry who truly believe that the long term price of BTC is probably zero, so best not be mocking too hard. They might be right.

Sad-Pain-795

I'm sorry mate, but if you have been in BTC long enough, then you'll understand just how futile these questions are. No one has got a clue about BTC going to 100k. I'm not sure why you even asked the question. Are you about to buy, are you trying to time the market or something? Besides, what do you care about some random people's opinions on BTC hitting 100k this month? I'm not trying to disrespect you, I just thought your question was utterly useless. Have a good day mate.
