BTC

rory_culpepper

I still avoid all the memecoins. Based on reddit mentions, 68% of the convo is still about BTC and ETH. [https://www.stockcar.app/insights/retail-investor-radar-april-2026](https://www.stockcar.app/insights/retail-investor-radar-april-2026)

Most people think this is about "how much". It's not. It's about how much you can hold through a normal drawdown without flinching. A 25 year old with 0.2 BTC they panic sell isn't better off than someone with 0.5 they can actually sit on. Same at 40 or 50. The constraint isn't age, it's the volatility tolerance relative to position size. If a -30% move feels like a threat, you're going to override whatever long term plan you had anyway. So the real answer is enough that matters, small enough that you don't get forced out. Most people overshoot that and learn it the hard way.

OrangePillar

If you’re new to the space, stick with BTC and ignore everything else.

Mountain-Syllabub-10

818k BTC is \~3.9% of the total supply… that’s insane for a single company People still arguing “institutions aren’t here yet” while one firm is out here dollar-cost-averaging billions like it’s nothing. The real question isn’t whether this is bullish (it obviously is) — it’s how long the market ignores the fact that liquid supply is getting thinner every week. Feels like we’re watching the early stages of a supply shock in slow motion.

The "tilt" is you realizing you fucked up, and that has an identitary effect, most likely. It's not just "I fucked up" but "I fucked up *and I feel stupid*". So what works? Feel stupid. And once you're done feeling stupid, which takes a variable amount of time - and I imagine quite a bit of time, if you loose half a Bitcoin (though it depends if the money was yours or trust fund money) -, you start to think about *why* that hurt. Was it because you lost? Or perhaps because you tried to fly too close to the sun when you usually are the type to be responsible? Or because you think it means you're dumb? And once you figure out your answer, figure out what to do about it. Use it as the moral of your story: you tried to outsmart the market, and like the previous gazillon people, the market punched you in the penis. So what can you do about it? You can play it safe, play the long game, which is essentially the only way to beat the market. You can see leveraging for what it is: gambling. You can tell other people about it so your new identity shifts to "I'm now a responsible guy". Whatever helps, I guess. Just do what makes you least susceptible to leverage 0.5 BTC again.

Mandalorian_07

What amount do you guys consider to store in wallet? Say above 0.1 BTC? More or less?

Smooth_Pianist485

Honestly investing in shitcoins/celsius/BlockFi made it click for me. In a roundabout way, for those of us who like to learn thru pain, the crypto casino is the best ad in the world for BTC.

zRoyalStar

your bank account, if it has money, buy BTC until you have no money on it. thats the only indicator you will ever need

Drspaceman1717

Get a vasectomy, your career is your best chance to increase revenue, invest in BTC but also traditional stocks. There is no ‘flipping’ Bitcoin. There is no ‘staking’ bitcoins. Those are all risky services that make promises that they rarely keep. Just raise your kids with love and empathy and send them to the best schools you can afford that match their interests and you’ve done the best you can.

williy23

Easy… you buy $5,000,000 worth of BTC now. You’ll be all set.

MoverWhoStacksSats

Something like. I panicked sold one time in a dip from the fear of losing all my gains sometime in the early 2020/2021 after only being in for a year or 2. Then the hype of never getting low enough to “buy cheaper” came around and used all my gains plus my original invest to buy back the same amount of BTC I had originally owned just now at a higher average price. It was my learners fee I guess still kick my self when I think about. Thanks for the reminder lol

crazybird-thereal

Simple i have DCA for BTC, i stick to the DCA. Then sometime i can spare more money, i make fund for days of big deep and «Extreme Fear», then i buy the fear (only done once, it worked this time).

mrvitz

Alt coins invest not in BTC

Equal-Button

This nice chap contacted me randomly and explained that he needed my BTC to unlock his inheritance. Turns out he is a Prince! He’s going to return many times more of it after he sorts out some legal issues in Nigeria. He assured me it’s very very safe.

Smooth-Limit-1712

Yeah, I absolutely hear you on that. That feeling when BTC pushes but the alts just don't follow, and sentiment is wild... it definitely gives you pause. Been there so many times, watching moves feel 'thin.' It's smart to question it. Trust your intuition on these vibes.

Letsgotothemovie

What few years? It’s been around for 12 years. It went from zero to $1.4 today. BTC was $400 12 years ago and it’s $78,000 today.

cashflashmil

I’d call $75.5K an important reflexive zone, not a true structural floor yet. Strategy’s average cost matters because the market watches it, and widely watched levels can shape behavior. But a single treasury buyer’s blended entry is not the same thing as a cycle floor. For a level to become structural, it usually needs broader confirmation through repeated holds, spot demand, ETF flow support, and market structure that survives stress, not just one high-profile balance sheet. What Strategy does create is absorption. If the market knows a player of that size tends to keep buying, dips into that area can get bought faster and panic can fade sooner. That can absolutely make $75K–$76K behave like a near-term support zone. But I wouldn’t overstate it. If macro tightens, ETF flows roll over, or leverage unwinds, price can still slice through a famous cost basis. The market does not owe any institution a breakeven defense. So my read is: * $75.5K is psychologically and reflexively important * It is not automatically the cycle floor * It becomes more credible if BTC keeps reclaiming and defending that area on pullbacks * It becomes structural only if broader demand confirms it, especially spot and ETF-related flows The cleanest framing is this: Strategy’s cost basis is a watched support candidate, not a guaranteed floor. Right now it tells you more about where large-scale conviction sits than where downside becomes impossible.

Ge_Yo

Most people I know end up leaning toward self custody for long term holding. But there’s also growing interest in ways to earn yield while still keeping control of your BTC through native staking models in BTCFi.

materialistbandz

It’s not too late. I would like to help jumpstart your son’s savings with a years worth. Can you dm me or comment with the receive address for BTC on BTC network?

ThreeTonChonker

Anyone who’s been involved in crypto long enough knows it was inevitable. Yes the big players suck, but so does retail. When it was just retail in BTC, the slightest bit of bad news would cause the degenerate gamblers and paper hands to fold. Didn’t matter if they bought high and were selling low, they had zero conviction. If the current market is going to be big players and retail with diamond hands, so be it, it’s an improvement overall.

HSuke

My problem with Strategy is that they are responsible for nearly all recent BTC inflows (10x more than all ETFs combined, 30x more than all other reserves combined). BTC price going up hinges entirely on them, and it can crash if their products fail. STRC is a great product and it's driving all their BTC purchases, but it's not sustainable in the long run unless BTC keeps going up in price over 10-30% every year. If Microstrategy is forced to reduce STRC dividends, everyone is going to dump it, causing a huge cascade, forcing Microstrategy to bulk sell MSTR or BTC. The news of that itself would cause a panic.

TedW

The code has been changed many times, and will continue to change. Don't get me wrong, I think BTC is very safe, but it's still not fundamentally different. They just have the best track record.

b1mm3rl1f3

SPX to ATHs and BTC can't sustain a 3% pump. It tests $87k in May. RemindMe! 1 month

xaviemb

It’s hard not to notice the contrast: short-term holders (those with positions under two years) continue to oscillate between fear and FOMO, while long-term holders remain largely unmoved. In the past 12 hours, only 133 BTC from the 4+ year cohort has changed hands (which represents over 50% of total supply). While at the same time the crowd that has held their BTC for under 90 days made up 99.8% of volume trading hands (which makes up just 15% of the total supply). At some point, those attempting to precisely time a deeper pullback later this year may have to confront a simple question: If everyone is waiting for one more leg down to accumulate for the next cycle… who, exactly, is providing the supply to push price to those levels? It is unlikely to be long-term holders, who collectively control a significant share of the circulating supply and have shown little inclination to distribute at lower prices. The marginal seller, in that scenario, becomes increasingly difficult to identify. A more plausible outcome is that downside liquidity thins out well before widely anticipated “ideal” entry points are reached. One could reasonably argue that meaningful selling pressure below $75K would be limited... even if price attempts another move lower. Just a bit of perspective for a Monday.

Suspicious-Holiday42

Thats not increasing the supply, that just cutting it into smaller pieces that are each worth less than one bigger piece. Someone who had 1 BTC worth 100k will then have that 1 BTC split into 10 BTC where each coin is worth 10k. Nothing changed except the rule that states how many sats make up one full coin

Sazmining

Not mining when the block reward was 50/25/12.5 BTC 😅 Thankfully, there's still time until we trend down to 1 satoshi!

Drumroll-PH

It feels like rotation, not expansion. When real risk on hits, you usually see BTC lead first, then dominance drops as capital flows harder into alts. NFT pops and infra narratives coming back are interesting, but they’ve faked people out before. Until BTC either breaks cleanly up or dominance starts trending down, it’s hard to call it a full shift.

AvatarOfMomus

Yes, but there are a lot of taxes and regulations that make that very difficult, especially combined with the size of the stock market relative to the holdings of any given individual or company, even the richest ones. If multiple collude to manipulate a stock it becomes very obvious and the rest of the market can use those rules and laws to punish the bad actors. Crypto in general and Bitcoin specifically has very little regulation, a lot of trading is partly or completely anonymous, and the size of the actively traded market is tiny compared to the resources of even some individuals, let alone a major investment firm or fund. The headlines generally talk about the 'market cap', but the fact that over 2/3rds of Bitcoin hasn't moved in years rarely gets brought up. Currently a bit over 10% of BTC is on exchanges, and a fraction of that is actively traded daily. This is a bit part of why the market is so volatile. One moderately sized buy or sell order can fill every counter party order at a given price and send the value flying several percent in either direction, and the nature of these platforms makes that ahift fairly easy to predict for the party making the move.

TedW

BTC is not fundamentally different. Just because something hasn't happened, doesn't mean it can't. Same goes for other coins that have been flawless until now.

Hopeful-Parsley3713

Does this Gal I’m speaking Still have Hal’s BTC and private keys is the real question

Attempt-According

This would have been me if my friend who knew how to buy it on the dark web had not gone on a 3 week meth bender and ended up 5150 for a whole month, I was going to buy $50k worth of BTC at $97 per coin the day Silkroad was taken down by the FBI and priced dropped from $134 to $94 per coin, to this day I give him shit for it..

MoverWhoStacksSats

For me it was buying something online with Bitcoin early on and going back a year or two later realizing the BTC I sent for that purchase would have been worth two or three times what I paid. Not to me, to the seller. If they had just held it. That hit different. It wasn’t about the price going up. It was realizing Bitcoin was quietly rewarding the patient ones and penalizing everyone treating it like cash to spend. I’d heard about it years before that on the radio and laughed it off. Finally bought in 2019 thinking I was already late. Watched it crash and held anyway. That’s when it really clicked not when it went up, but when I stopped caring if it did.

TheRealDeviouz

I sold some last yr in summer and built a new pc with it. At this time Btc was at ATH and prices for pc hardware were reasonable. This exact moment came with regrets "don't stop DCA" "I can't afford it so I don't buy it" Now I think differently.. It's when I started treating BTC as a currency

KateR_H0l1day

It certainly fits my investment style, I don’t DCA per see, but I select a “base price” for myself. It’s based on coins I like the fundamentals, my average price, that I keep striving to reduce at this point in time, which means 2026 so far. It’s obviously also based on mid/long term future, I’ve a portfolio of ~30 coins (which includes no BTC or ETH, they’re a separate animal all together). This portfolio has three tiers, it’s totally based on risk/reward and my conviction for each coin. For 2026, it’s only been about 4 coins, I’ve increased my holdings of each while reducing the average price, using dips. All the other coins have been basically dormant in terms of buying any, but a good percentage of them are staked, so the amount is increasing and the average is reducing. I keep my eye on them, but it would require a substantial move for me to action them, either up or down, where I’d sell or buy accordingly. It’s truly an accumulation phase for me, but also recognize I’m in the camp of the market is going lower following the big dogs tail, whichever way it moves.

ClitYeastWood1337

No but Strategy may have a BTC problem (potentially).

Top-Care-8946

HW wallet like Trezor. I don't speak loud that I am stacking up BTC (some of my friends and close people know) but I don't talk about it publicly on the social media and so on, except in a dedicated forum. I will not expose myself in public with Trezor Merch like T-shirts or put their logo stickers anywhere because everyone who sees that logo will start make research about it and then they will understand that I have crypto. I don't want that anyone outside of my circle would know about it.

Comfortable-Ant-418

Hmm, some of the wallets you're recommending to OP are literally shitcoin wallets lol. Trezor I am sure supports a ton of shitcoins. Meanwhile Foundation wallets are BTC only. Hard to take your concern seriously when you're starting with a contradiction. I find it difficult to understand how them making a blogpost, which at one point mentions that a group of developers made an app with their open source OS, is related to their products being good or not? It's not even related to their device lol. That also isn't even the product page, you're pretending that a developer blogpost is a product page which is intellectually dishonest to say the least. Of course, no one here is obligated to promote any specific product. But I was worried if my wallet was bad or had any potential security risks, and from your reply it seems like the wallet is fine and you just have issues with them making a blogpost you didn't like. Fair enough! Have a good day sir.

courtesy_patroll

His points are shallow. He argued that Bitcoin's code can't be trusted because SBF "changed" the code on FTX. SBF didn't change any code he just diverted funds, and even if he did change code, it has no bearing on BTC.

HSuke

It's more based on Microstrategy now. Earlier this month, it was reported that MSTR bought had 10x more BTC inflows that all of the Bitcoin ETFs combined. A single company holding up BTC's price.

BullSensex

You can however you should know how to securely keep your digital asset. I would invest in stocks to start with once you have accumulated million peso think of BTC

devCheckingIn

All these BTC maxis like Saylor think retail is irrelevant and all you need is "institutional adoption".

TheDigitalPoint

Supply vs demand. How do you know they didn’t get them for $1/BTC? Maybe for them, an 8 million percentage gain is enough.

Nrs_Vecna

Saylor may be the only thing defending the line for BTC right now. Even those hefty buys cant pump the market considerable.

mlag000

Around 95% of all stablecoins trade for BTC are tether.

Ok_Location_1092

Ben has a BA in Econ from University of Virginia from 2001. It’s basically passing some basic macro, micro, quantitative methods, stats, a few electives. I have more business telling you whether or not BTC is valuable since my degree is from a decade ago and a better school, and trust me when I say I have no business telling you shit about fuck.

Ruzhyo04

BTC had value before tether, it will have value after tether. There’s also USDC and other regulated stablecoins now. This was a poor argument in 2016, it’s no argument at all in 2026.

Lefties_TheWorst7331

I'm also invested via ETFs. It is much easier (and cheaper) to borrow margin against my equity, to purchase even more than it is to borrow against crypto itself. I'm margined around 1:1 equity to margin ratio and my portfolio is like 85% BTC related funds.

mlag000

Except the whole BTC value is based on tether.

Acceptable_Staff3105

companies stacking BTC like strategy plays

Big80sweens

if what you say is true, you don't think Satoshi also bought a couple hundred BTC in the early days and is still quite wealthy despite not being the multibillionaire he could be with access to the 1M coins which will remain untouched? Also, if the real guy is such a saint, why not use those 1M BTC for good? Like ending world hunger, or whatever other global scale issue we face? Anyways, I don't know the intricacies of this all, but a secret this big along with the potential power it has, tells me SN was someone who wanted to leave a legacy for the world and knew they were going to die. It would be too difficult to live a meagre life knowing you had billions at your disposal... there isn't a person alive with that kind of discipline. But, to my earlier point, perhaps he did make tens of millions and lives quite comfortably which would certainly make it easier. There is a threshold where money doesn't matter, it's probably somewhere around $50M depending on what kind of life you want to live.

Expensive-Paint-9490

BTC is a permissionless distributed ledger. It's not really rocket science. These kind of discussions maybe were interesting fifteen years ago, now they just define you as dense.

Rock_Strongo

This comment makes no sense. Crypto can be a "thing" regardless of the price of BTC. Whether it's "cheap" or not is irrelevant because you can buy any fraction of any crypto you want. The USD price of a single BTC has zero bearing over its utility.

Professional_Gas2092

companies stacking BTC like strategy plays

Galavanta

Good framing on the altcoin rallies during macro weakness. Thats the part people miss when they say "just wait for confirmation. " By the time you get confirmation half the move is done. I dca with risk-adjusted sizing, not a flat amount every week. When risk is low I scale up, when it's elevated I pull back or stop entirely. Been using alphasquared's risk scores to anchor those decisions since I dont trust my own read when things get choppy. BTC risk dropped back into the 10s recently so I've been scaling back in gradually. The key for me is having rules set before the moment hits. if you're deciding in real time whether to buy a support retest you're already fighting your own emotions. a lot can happen in 6-8 months and sitting fully in cash through intermittent 2x moves on alts is a rly cost too.

OrdinaryInformation

Been buying $50/week for the past 6 years now. Transfer whatever ive accumulated to my trezor every few months. Other than that. I barely pay attention to what the price is or what's going on around BTC. Ill start paying more attention in 10 years or so from now.

Thanks for that. Im just doing this for my son since I had an opportunity to buy BTC in 2014 but I thought it was a scam. 🤣 Learned my mistake.

ilfollevolo

Just give them all the BTC and make them happy

FromThePits

When your son reaches the age of 50 those 0.001 BTC will be more than one block reward. All the combined effort and work of all miners globally for ten minutes will release the same amount as you have saved already. (transaction fees are all paid with previously mined bitcoin) More about accumulated generational wealth [here](http://www.thegreekchain.info)

Drcfan

Thats 15'000 USD over 24 years. Assuming a conservative rainbow model, thats about 0.0108 BTC. That would be about 326'000 USD in today's money. Lots of assumptions here but as the saying goes, "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now"

ecelps

You’re mostly thinking in terms of coins which is fair but another angle people don’t talk about much is how you get exposure. A lot of people just rotate between BTC/ETH/alts but some diversify into launchpads to get in earlier. Binance Launchpad has a strong track record stuff like AXS, MATIC, SAND all did crazy multiples. It’s proven but getting meaningful allocation usually means holding a decent amount of BNB. Legion is newer and doesn’t really have those big 100x type outcomes yet but the model is different. It leans more on reputation and participation rather than just capital size. Not saying go all in on either but if you’re thinking about diversification, it’s not just what you hold, it’s also how you get in that can change your upside.

manharkatty

you can send BTC but the fee is too high for small payments

Fearless-Sherbert-40

You’re doing great! I have been working low paying jobs my entire life. About 4 years ago I started putting 1% of my pay into bitcoin. A small investment into BTC can grow to huge portion of your net worth. Do I have life changing money? NO, but I have accumulated more than I could have ever saved on my own.

Own_Marionberry34

Hi same here, pinoy dad accumulating BTC for my 5yr old kid too. Hodling for him too. I mirror an equivalent amount of his peso savings in BTC too. I have my personal BTC stashes too on top of my kid. He has more time than me so good for him to HODL.

ViciousMentalityX

I blame journalists and hype farming accounts on X for this misconception. They always make it sound like BR is investing in BTC while it's just a transaction they are executing on behalf of their users... It becomes annoying after a while

ResponsibleFloor5430

You know? I woke up this morning, looked at my portfolio (which all are definitely tied to BTC/The market) and wonder what the heck happened last night for institutions to take their money. ??? So no, I didn’t post my losses today. 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

unknowngloomth

So where does the money for purchasing BTC come from?

EdgeQuiet2199

I’m seeing the same thing. Feels like people are taking shots on a few sectors, but still keeping most trust in BTC. Not really a full send market yet.

DailyUpsAndDowns

It's my theory. And honestly I wish I had listened years ago and not been emotional when just starting. Traded too much. BTC is #1 for a reason.

__redruM

Did we have this same exact post last week? BTC is up with the stock market, just like it’s done for at least a year now, if not more. In addition with the conflict, BTC is a way to exchange value with sanctions in place.

auniqueusername2567

Been there, done that I guess? Back in ‘17 I sold 6 BTC (about half my stack at the time) around $19k at that time. I ended up trying to catch the falling knife on the way down for fear that I sold too soon. Near the bottom at $3000 I decided to sell and buy back in to create a wash sale for a capital loss that year. (My accountant at the time said the only guidance he could offer was how it works with securities, meaning I couldn’t rebuy until after 30 days for it to count.) By then the price had already gone up to near $10,000. Lesson learned: don’t try to time the market. You’ll either get extremely lucky %1 of the time or more likely screw it up 99% of the time. tldr don’t try to time the market. Buy, hold, sell only if you need the money or are retired.

Far-Photograph-2342

Yeah, I get the feeling too. BTC leading while alts lag usually just means selective flows, not broad conviction. Markets like this often feel “fragile” until rotation kicks in.

Calm-Professional103

If you don’t wanna get wrecked: $34 K in BTC $5K in ETH $1K pick 10 shitcoins with your eyes closed and put $100 on each. Or, just set $1K on fire now and get it over with. 

Think-Sector-6329

yea, I get that vibe too. Feels more like flo-driven moves than real conviction. BTC moves but alts lag and sentiment flips fast, usually a sign that market is fully behind it. Those rallies can still go higher, but they're easier to fade and [break.Be](http://break.Be) more cautious here and not assyme it's clean trend yet. Also helps to check actual activity behind the move. Check blueblocx to see real accumulation or just short-term flows.

mike17524

Thx, I’m in expensive state of California. How do u figure it out 2 BTC enough for retirement in 2030?

Think-Sector-6329

Keep a strong BTC/ETH core, then smaller positions in higher-risk alts. Privacy coins could work, but regulation risk is real. And not every alt comes back just because BTC moves. Use tools like Blueblocx to check where capital / activity is flowing before picking coins

DailyUpsAndDowns

It's baby stepping upwards. It shows us it's alive and well to prove it's the only coin to own. The alts move too but they're so fragile that they don't maintain the slightest pump when BTC eases down by ½ a percentage. The powers that be want us to not have any confidence in anything other than BTC. This is by design. BTC is the only true sure thing for the future of crypto. The alts I own are pure wishful thinking just to ride the wave of the next BTC tsunami. Maybe a 2x for me.

HandFearless3267

Yeah so this is totally doable, you don't need a full exchange for this. Since you specifically want to avoid exchanges... I've used GhostSwap for exactly this kind of thing, BTC to ETH. You just put in your ETH receiving address, send the BTC, and it shows up in like 10-20 min. No account, no KYC, nothing. Just make sure you're sending to the right network obviously. Since you want ETH for gas fees you probably don't need a huge amount so keep in mind there'll be a network fee on the BTC side too. Start with a small test transaction first since you said you're a beginner, trust me on that one lol

InvestaHepps

This is pretty much the same read I’ve been getting! It’s not weak enough to call it a breakdown, but it’s also not showing the kind of participation you’d expect if it was a strong move… BTC does the work, alts lag, and underneath it you’ve got less positioning and weaker flows. So it ends up feeling like a move that’s happening, but not really building…

Traditional_Chain_48

BTC is up by 17% last month. The rest is indeed dead. But BTC isn't. It is slowly but steadily trying to break the 80K.

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

This is kinda the usual cycle though. Everyone I know only starts caring about regulation after something breaks or they get burned, otherwise it’s just charts and vibes. Like if BTC is moving, the group chat is 100% glued to price. Nobody’s reading policy updates unless it directly messes with their bags. But yeah, if that bill actually dies it’s gonna be one of those “oh wait this mattered” moments later. Feels like we keep ignoring the boring stuff until it hits us.

dataCollector42069

How is BTC considered recovered when it is about 60% of the value of its ATH while SP500 and NASDAQ are all time highs?

Toyomansi_Chilli

I hold BTC myself but this is straight up copium. 100 - 50% is 50 then up by 20% is only 60. Stop lying to yourself.

Nice_Material_2436

Obviously, because BTC is an "investment" and not a currency. Nobody is expected to "have done it" with USD so why even mention it.

PhotoOk1474

That's because the market cap for BTC is too small.

baneblade_boi

Wouldn't call BTC a fix. It's pure speculation mostly used by guys that hope to gain massive profit from it's price hikes while hoping that one day it will become stable somehow. Wake up, the idea was good, but as long as there are capitalists abusing these things and trying to steal from everybody else with it it won't be able to replace fiat currency or commodities.

Lefties_TheWorst7331

Quantum is far from breaking SHA 256. The highest Quantum has decrypt is like 14 bit. That's a LONG way away from cracking 256 bit. By then, I'm sure the network will be updated. And, if QC breaks BTC.. that will be the last thing anyone is worrying about, as it will break more larger infrastructures first.

Nice that BTC does so well during conflicts but in between it's all the way down.

> If you make a transaction on eCash Would recommend writing "Paul Storcz's fork" instead of "eCash". At least the eCash (XEC) fork is replay-protected against BTC by virtue of being a descendent of BitcoinCash (BCH). This new fork is just a hazard.

There are no builders on BTC

We have quantum computers in the USA. China has AT LEAST 3 times our engineers and some of the smartest computer scientists in the world. The Chinese government is strictly against crypto currencies like BTC. I'll let you reach your own conclusions...

yeah I agree with regards to the USD chart, ETH has bounced a bit. I was more looking at it relative to BTC though — ETH/BTC has been pretty flat to down for a while now, so even when ETH goes up, it’s not really leading it’s just moving with the market. That’s kinda what I meant by participation feeling weak, alts aren’t really outperforming or taking over but it could just be a pause before rotation, but right now it still feels pretty BTC-led to me tbh.

Despite recovering more than 29% from the February low near $60,000, he believes the current move may be a relief bounce rather than the start of a new bull run. In his view, BTC needs to reclaim $100,000 to restore real bullish momentum. Ongoing pressure from oil volatility, the Iran conflict, tight liquidity, and delayed rate cut expectations could keep the market heavy. Short term, Bitcoin may retest $73,000 or even $65,710 if resistance holds. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Then you'll have to find your mycelium seed phrase, if you moved your BTC to a mycelium wallet.

Pure cope. BTC is not a VC supply controlled grift, kid.
