Just buy with everything you have. It is dirt cheap right now. NFA BTW, Reddit is a poor source for financial advise.
very interesting! keep going. BTW the sound on the videos is awful
I put a couple of words in CAPS to highlight them in my comment that really made this comment unnecessary. LOL I happen to be almost at 0.1 BTC myself and 10 years from now happens to be around my retirement age. Having 100,000 dollars at retirement with so little investment (over 17 years total) on my part would be really nice. It's almost a ridiculous outcome for an "investment". Understand Bitcoin is just part of my saving for retirement. BTW why does your scenario have no further investment in Bitcoin over the next 10 years?
OP has 2,000 dollars in his bank BTW
congrats, you just discovered money is something that needs to be used, not stashed. BTW you arent getting 10% without serious risks. Unless you can figure what risks those are, dont invest in anything. There arent safeguards either in crypto. Also the money you have in that bank ? It is insured. You get your money back (up to a certain point) if the bank goes belly up. Want something relatively safe - ish and better than banks ? Get some bonds or shares in a major index funds. The latter usually perform around 7 to 10% per year on average since they have been created.
Good. BTW you never had any BTC. Your stupid exchange of choice had it on your behalf. There is a huge difference. Went right over your head huh… The less ignorant people we have in BTC today, the more of my hypercollateralized sats you will need to borrow (USDT, EURT and other stables backed by bitcoin) in the future from us bitcoiners. Bitcoin is for a smaller group of individuals that truly understand. Your kinda people should stick around swing trading memecoins and other relentlessly manipulated shitcoins… “You need people like me so you can point your fucking fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.” - Mayer Amschel Rothschild & John D. Rockefeller
😆😂😆....fair response....but i dont mind being a "government slave" as u call it becuase it pays 6 figures 🫡🙌...its also funny ever since btc started, everyone now thinks fiat is a scam......thats basically cult mentality......BTW, I like crypto but only to take gains on ppl willing to pay more for it than what I got it for....as long as someone is willing to pay, ill stick to the old playbook and buy low sell high and walk away with other people's money...😉😉😉....its funny how u consider fiat a scam yet 9 out of 10 people sell btc for fiat....🤷🤷🤷
MSTR blow~off~top paranoia, the adoption curve says keep stacking... BTW, we're all a bunch of D*cks, C*nts, and As*holes around here so do as we do (DCA) for the win👍
Show the evidence. I bet you looked at addresses and not actually bitcoin amounts. We literally have examples of 80k bitcoin being sold. I trust people like Lyn Alden or James check who have said old wallets have sold than just some random redditor that can't read a stat. BTW, I'm bullish
I have had this experience with stocks in March 2025 when Trump caused his first huge drop in markets worldwide. I sold with 15% loss. My reasoning was the following: I have no fundamental understanding of the economy so I do not know if a big recession is really coming, but I know that it is highly possible looking at the world and especially the US nowadays. In such a situation it's better to withdraw from the market to secure what you have at the moment. I did it. The market has slowly recovered since then but I believe my reasoning was right and I never regret it. What I learned is that assets do not carry in them the price you paid for them. The real price of an asset is always the current one + the current outlook and never the past price. Remembering the past only puts you in emotional restriction which has no connection to reality. That's, you should estimate your assets anew at every moment and do not allow the past price to condition you emotionally. It's not easy but it is the right way to deal with indetermination. BTW, SP500 chart for the great depression era shows that it took about 20-25 years for stock prices only to get back to their numbers without counting inflation. Something cannot happen only until it does.
A necessary deregulated and decentralized function. Some might even call it a “necessary collateral damage of financial prudence.” This backdoor function would exist no matter what BTW.
Nice. I have a old Windows mini PC where I will run Bitcoin Knot. Still thinking about using Windows or any type of Linux OS. I just have to get a 2TB HDD USB drive. After the first sync it should be fast enough. How much was the mini PC, BTW?
LOL I cashed out when BTC first hit 60K. And made a lot more with stocks since than BTC would have. I am here for cheap laughs. BTW speaking of inflation, BTC has not gained much from previous ATH adjusted to inflation.
Bro! What paid you Charles Hoskinson for this?! Lol. Don’t you know, BTW, each time that crap’s price rise, the team is immediately dumping on you. Buy Bitcoin or buy SPX6900. That’s where the community matters, no team shilling/selling. But if you still believe Cardano has a future, even after seeing its long term chart, you cannot be helped. Sorry 🙏🏻
I Bet we hit 50k before 1million. BTW. We might hit 1 of them within 2 months.
My Kids are selling me. BTW. They told me I'm very cheap. 🫠
Or stocks fall by 70% like the NASDAQ did during the 2000 Dot Com bust. Had you cashed out and locked in some profits, you would be better off than riding it down all the way to the bottom and then waiting a decade to get your money back. It's all relative. Do you honestly think BTC will reverse its downward trend? Are you going to ride it down to the bottom if does not rebound? Good luck. I'm just saying nothing wrong with walking away from the table if you have profits. You can use the profits for to buy gold if you dislike the dollar so much. BTW, gold has blown BTC out of the water this year. I just think a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush. Sure you run the risk of missing out on gains. You could also miss out on getting destroyed in bear market.
>sorry for your money loss... you seem very exhausted and emotional. Nor have I lost anything, nor is my reaction emotional, it's plain common sense. More selling=price goes down, More buying= price goes up. >but i totally agree... why buy BTC for 126k when you can buy it much cheaper? it was 89k 1 year ago and it was 89k again today. BTC was 69k in 2021 and 69k again in 2024. Buy it or don't buy it at any price you seem fit, I don't see how this is relevant to the conversation. >if you look for something more financial and emotionally stable take a look at DAI, USDC USDT. You don't need to shill stable coins to me, I know what they are. >idk why you are so angry at me. i have a feeling we very much agree. and yes there is a lot of selling going on. even in the stock market. so you win BTC lose... happy? I'm not angry, just pointing out the obvious. >BTW. you know about liquidations right? say someone sell a bit ammount of BTC causing a price drop so big it causes major liquidations. then buy back more than they initally sold.... price is now still lower than what it was before they sold. It's called market manipulation, major exchanges and whales are doing it all the time. This is exactly what OP's data shows. At around 90k major exchanges are massively exchanging their stable coins for BTC aka buying, in order to liquidate as many short sellers as they can. >Supply and demand. at the current price BTC needs a positive inflow of $42M daily to not drop in price with its current inflation. Here is some info from [Tokenomist.ai](http://Tokenomist.ai) This is irrelevant data, as long as a few big players have enough resources to easily manipulate the market.

My coworker saw my bitcoin profits over the years and started buying in. He felt like he missed out. So he bought some at $110k. Promised that when it hit below $100k he would buy more. As a long time hodlr I told him "thats a garuntee. It'll drop to a minimum of $90k but I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop to $70k before a large rebound. He said $70k was lunatic thinking... he thought $90k was ridiculous too... now hes trying to shadow my buying points lol What inspired him was my original trades. I turned $400 into $1,700 in a short period thanks to bitcoin. Was forced to sell so my family was taken care of. If I was in his situation I would have never had to sell and my position would have been worth $10,000+... he also mimics my stocks purchases tho... Hell, my stocks purchases have a +200% return rate. My secret formula? 1. I just buy bitcoin every week. $5-$10 a week adds up. 2. My stock purchases are based off what I call the "king of the hill strategy". See... there was an episode where Peggy was buying stocks. After losing money she decided to study an average persons buying habits and invest in that. She followed bill around and invested in things he purchased... well im bill in this scenario. I just started buying into companies that the average american uses. Again, $5-$10 a week in stock purchases. BTW, yes... money is tight in my household. I get $0 in government assistance, a single father of 2 kids, mother's not in the picture at all with anything not even child support, and I make roughly $1,000 a week. But if you dont take the risk then youll never get ahead. You've never lost money until you've sold. If you made decent choices in purchases then youll come out positive in the long run. Im not talking months... years with some shit. But holding longer can reduce tax burden. Diversify your investments kids... Idk... maybe youll see me at 50 years old being a millionaire. Maybe it might blow back and im exactly where I am now. But if anything drops, I just lean further into holding my portfolio for longer. Whether it be bitcoin, stocks, or my tool box at work.
BTW, ETFs managers can sell and buy assets without buy/sell orders from their shareholders. Their job is to grow the fund and minimize down turn.
Oh, no worries. If you added an /s at the end then it would’ve translated fine. BTW, this is a good introduction into options and then once you get more familiar look into the risks of each strategy. For getting familiar with cash secured puts and covered calls, I would start with 1 contract on a cheap stock such as AMC so any losses will be minimal and it’s more of a learning experience. Also, AMC is at its all time low so there’s a better chance of it going up and you getting out positive than it going down more but you never know as it is down 43% for the year. When looking to do a cash secured put, it’s better to do it in a stock that’s down rather than one that at the top of its rally as the risk is greater that you’d be buying at the top rather than the bottom.
Perhaps if you get more involved and active it may help relieve the anxiety springing from hypothetical outcomes of something you don't control. For example, have you thought to take some gains and diversify? Or rebalance. You're talking about this like you have a problem to deal with. Your "problem" is that your investment crushed it so you need to recalibrate based on what matters to you. So it's not a problem, it's a blessing. These are the types of opportunities that if you seize them, they turn into pivotal moments. If you have a child on the way (congrats BTW) then you've got other stuff to deal with. Which thankfully you'll be able to do with ease because your investment crushed it. Set up estate planning. It's really not that hard and it's not overnight, but get around to doing it. I'd look into or talk to someone about tax strategy. It's a *big* drag and those massive gains can turn into a lot of taxes. You also want to be able to do things over time without having a huge chunk taken away. Have you thought to put some BTC in a self-directed IRA ? I mean if you're keeping it long term. Check your eligibility for an HSA. If you are eligible, get one and immediately fund it and invest. I recommend Fidelity. Do you have life insurance? If I were you I'd get prob like a 20-year term to cover your daughter up to adulthood plus I would look into getting a small-medium whole life policy (yes I said it!) From a mutual company. When the cash balance is = or > what you have paid in premiums you can treat it as your cash savings (reserves, rainy day).Safe, stable, gives you all kinds of options for yourself or your family. For example bridging SS gap, helping a child with a down-payment or wedding. So yeah maybe don't feel so passive and that you have to get it right in an all-or-nothing decision. You have endless options and the assets to get really set up. Good luck.
Haha, no, you guys are just a dime a dozen here, gets tiring. What hole did you poke? 67K (market was bought down by corruption at FTX and others and rapid fed rate hikes BTW) to 126K is 88% in what, 3.5 years? Add in the DCAs throughout the deep bear and you're way above that, many stack more aggressively during dips too. I am not sure "the gotcha" you're claiming.
Best thing I ever did. I was wall paper to my fam before I had a fat wallet. I moved everything into IBIT which will allow me to take the occasional high conviction stock trades in the same account 3-4 times a year. The future is bright and I'm glad so many of you young guys are getting into the game early. BTW my overnight crypto success took 8 years of studying and working my day gigs.
make sure you sit by the mailbox. That cheque is coming in any moment now. (Bessent already rolled back that tweet BTW)
Sir, you are ofc free to do as you wish. (But I do think you mentioned you may be a bit new to this …). But for heaven’s sake … if you wish to get conviction on bitcoin, one must be able to answer the following query. Here is a list of companies. Can you explain the common thread to all of these. And why ? CORZ ARGO USBTC Comp North NDG / Bitdeer / Iris / Crusoe BMNR BTBT BTCS BTCT BTCM - Solana DAT GLXY No need for a PhD level thesis. Just - one must be comfortable understanding why all of these companies pivoted away. (Not an exhaustive list, BTW. Many small outfits, not public.). And if you can rationalize that, then by all means go ahead. IOW - you (or anyone) **MUST** conclude for yourself whether the platform you will be trusting can remain secure - medium, to long term. You will be relying on the Economic Security of the platform in question. There is no immediate problem. It’s not likely to show for another couple of Halvings. But beyond that, any participant must be able to demonstrate how the protocol can raise enough Tx Fee Revenue to remain secure. If you can do that - *for yourself* - then you will have more conviction.
It does, IMHO. If I'm holding bitcoin only, the extra shitcoin supporting code makes the attack surface larger for no good reason. Thanks for the push, BTW. Just ordered the board and the scanner for the specter wallet to test it out.
Should be fun doing your taxes in a few years. BTW, check the fees and such when you try to move it to a cold wallet...
LOL thanks for the comics. I do not have ANY problem finding my addresses now that I know in detail what does it means P2WPKH, P2SH, P2PKH, Purpose Coin type Account Receiving or change Index BIIP32/44/49/84/86/141, Entropy, BIP39, Checksum, Seed, Bech32, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 (Password; Salt; Iterations; dkLen), HMAC(Password;m) =SHA-512((K′⊕opad) ∣∣ SHA-512((K′⊕ipad) ∣∣ m)), IL, IR, xprv, xpub, zpub, RIPEMD160, base58, digest, Witness program, etc etc. It is just that I find very strange that I had to build my own tool for calculating and printing all this, i want just to keep a simple paper wallet, no hardware wallets BS. I made the following tentatives : 1) Excel -> no way (it does not have built-in crypto hash functions, too complicated with VBA/Python outer call) But it was useful as a learning experiment. 2) Python -> do you really want me to learn another programming language? Even with chatGPT help it is too complicated to get there. 3) Html by Ian Coleman : even for the version offline I do not trust code with fetch() - network requests , document.cookie, Long Base64-like strings, XMLHttpRequest - classic XHR snippet, sorry. 4) [learnmeabitcoin.com](http://learnmeabitcoin.com) same as above, call me paranoic At the end i just resigned myself to copy and paste by hand all the values to a txt file and print it offline for each wallet - password, mnemonic, script, path, seed, xpriv, address, key of the address, etc. For the wallet apps there is less and less options : Exchange -> not your keys not you coins Exodus -> closed source so no (BTW it creates one BIP44, one BIP84 and one BIP86 address and then decides by itself which one use as receiving/change). So pratically only Electrum, but if you want all your address (BIP44, BIP84, BIP49) you need different wallets (only one script type per wallet? WTF). Even if there is no official organisation, still complicated standards have been negociated and approved, so why not a simple wallet derivation tool? I mean how "normal" people who does not want to engage with all this complicated mess can trust this system?
If I was a New Yorker I’d be fearful too. Those Mamdani taxes going to be hitting quick! BTW New York 2nd most in the country of bitcoin holders.
so much Kope. we still got a long way down BTW <3
Same amount of coin as yesterday. BTW, this is not a crash.
You bought the most retarded of all shitcoins BTW.
Go and look at how it was launched. It was a slow release of coins. That's why the ATH is so high. Mcap has reached ATH today. BTW just open a chart don't be lazy. [https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/zcash](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/zcash) Click marketcap on that. Don't be lazy dude.
BTW, these are the very few who accepted the invitation. Most actually serious traders obviously did not accept it.
BTW by invest - do you mean DCA 200 a month in each? OR a one time drop. Your 200 will never become 100000.
What are Bitcoin's fundamentals? Isn't it just the first coin and it's a store of value? I can't imagine it every being used for it's utility since there are so many other coins that are faster, greener and way more efficient for things. That's what happens when you're first. BTW, I am not anti-BTC. I just don't get it. If you say "Yeah, it's just a store of value..." then I agree 100% and think it can continue going up like any asset that people look at as rare/valuable. But I'll never be convinced that it will be actually used for anything big. It's just not efficient for that. Yes, even with the lightning network. Other coins with companies behind them will easily be sold to companies for those kinds of use cases over BTC. JMO of course. I could be wrong. I just really don't think I am.
BTW Turn off the internet connection on that laptop.
They ban a couple dozen people a day for their own personal reasons, then threaten people to get them to delete all correspondence with them. \* Any evidence?! Deposits often take days to show up and then several more days to be credited. \* Not in my experience. SEPA Instant worked as expected. They work full time pulling down negative comments from their reddit thread. Sometimes, they slip up and there will be hundreds of them (negative comments) before they can squash them. \* everyone does that. They are paying off politicians already. One of the last signs of going bankrupt. \* A politician's main job is to receive bribe. BTW did you hear about Binance CEO's presidential pardon? You have been warned. Use this exchange at your own risk. If you lose everything, don't say that nobody warned you. All the red flags are visible. \* Kraken is not risk-free but it has had a better track record than others.
Spending a UTXO requires a signature. Each one will increase the transaction data size, which will cost more in miner fees to send. If you combine 3 small ones into one now, you can pay very little in fees to do so since the fees are low. If the transaction numbers spike right around the time you want to spend your 3 UTXOs, there could be a situation where the fee to include the UTXO is higher than the value of your small UTXO. Get your 9 down to 7. As mentioned before I personally would not keep anything smaller than 0.00018. Could make it 0.0002 or 0.0005 if you like rounder numbers. BTW your UTXOs don't need to be round numbers. They can be 0.00052354 or whatever and that's just fine.
This is precisely the nightmare scenario of dystopian movies come to life. Knives are "bad" not the weilder. How about butter or salt or sugar? Blame them and not the consumer. Nanny states are the nightmare and preventing someone from using their money in any way will never work. People are leaving Canada BTW. They hate what it has become. Maybe not all areas but it is happening.
“ The only flaw in his tactic that I could see was that he told me about it.” And that YOU posted this on Reddit. LOL BTW, if he uses a decent passphrase than still their assets are secure.
Satoshi creates Bitcoin. Bitcoin spawns Alts. Alts include Trump coin. Trump coint enriches Trump. Trump destroys Bitcoin. I'm just continuing the Jurrassic park reference BTW I don't actually think Trump could destroy Bitcoin. But he is generally the kind midas of shit.
No, I'm saying that it goes up under every president. Again, source on the deliberate? Why did he wait until markets closed for the weekend? In crypto, there's no close. Nothing you can do about it. BTW, Biden appointed Gary Gensler who was very hostile towards crypto. It still went up. At least the current legislature is apparently trying to move forward with crypto regulations in an attempt to provide some clarity. Whether that's successful remains to be seen. Point is, buy BTC, hold BTC. It goes up. Have a few alt moonbags if you want, but mostly stick to BTC. It'll be even higher by the end of his term, before going lower somewhere in between like it always does, probably next year.
LTHs selling 9,000+ coins a day seems bullish af to me. Someone is soaking all these up without rushing anything, major rotation that's been happening all cycle. It's not just ETFs and Saylor BTW.
This is not how it works though. Obviously it's NOT done by going into debt collection. Research this some more, smart use of loans (which are tax-free BTW) is common. But people who never had access to big money are naturally highly allergic to borrowing because of the "poor man in the debt prison" connotations.
XRP, ADA, XLM are all at December 2017 prices. CMC link below. https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171231/ If you don't know this, redditor for 2 months, you probably didn't buy XRP at $0.02. BTW, XRP was $0.02 for exactly 2 days in 2017 before in a time where it pumped from under $0.01 to $0.05 in 2-3 days but sure, that's exactly when you bought it.
So, tell me your secret information and where you got them from. I am open to learning new things, and our company will be super happy to get its hands on that AI. It would give us a competitive advantage. BTW, our company develops and trains models in-house.
No doubt about it 😊. BTW, check the community of SPX6900. The community is amazing, you might like it. In any case I totally respect your ETH trade and wish you the best luck 🫶🏻😉. Hopefully this cycle it breaks ATH and have a great run 🙏🏻
No no, I love your vision too and will probably make more variations, depending on what people are asking !! Thank you so much for pointing that out BTW !!
BTW I always only understand these technologies from what the info were given so take that as a grain of salt also another good thing to note is the global south controls majority of minerals rare earth so ai production and innovation is intrinsically linked to that free flow any restrictions will trigger the Oracle + nvidia + open ai loop to strain because they are super reliant on those supply chains alot of their valuations are connected to their businesses raising money to fund each other! They are super reliant on supply chains not being disrupted, and people to continue to believe that ai innovation will save them. Stocks are apparently overvalued I think buffets liquidated alot of his positions and taken profits and maybe be positioning for blood in the streets....my hope is I can exit my positions in this bull run come mid to end of October and Nov maybe we will get a perfect storm and take a nice exit on most of the crypto positions and wait for market to dip again...I just don't see ai getting to that point where it solves the debt situation because we have so many factors pushing in the opposite direction and way to many wild cards on the tables things are fragile....but could eb comepletly wrong too
I'm just spitballing BTW, if you change password it should log them out if you want to keep the account? No worries fella
That example block and the giant transaction within it had nothing to do with op_return, which is what v30 change is about. Don't conflate things. v30 does not make loading witness section of the block "easier." BTW op_return can be stuffed even now on v29, like [this transaction](https://mempool.space/tx/3183bd6ceebc2d39c0a3cfa0d06eb84d1161eaac1c26605e2eab62bfe48c1420) did. Not sure the doors and windows example applies. Someone wanting in will trivially break a glass window, whether it's locked or not. Set your -datacarriersize=83 in bitcoin.conf and you've mitigated v30's "problem."
Zebec is my number one choice BTW.
The crypto space was already fucked before trump dynasty anyway. Don't forget china's kingpin CZ. BTW look at BNB lmao.
BTW blackrock bought BTC at 102k during the crash
Post is by: slowsausages and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1o30w4j/selling_crypto_in_the_uk/ I have some bitcoin in a wallet and want to sell it. I made an account with e-toro and uphold but can't find an option to transfer my BTC to them so I can cash out. Any ideas? Is there a UK market that will let me do this? Sorry for the dumb question BTW. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
The past does not necessarily predict the future. BTW, I'm of course invested in both (also in ETH, Solana).
Let me help you! To be honest, even 0.1 btc could change my life(permenantely) and I could finally have my own room and new clothes and real juicy meat!!! # BTW begging is against the rules.
because you're trying to explain to a donkey how to be free. When I say "donkey" I don't mean it in a denigratory way (BTW donkeys are awesome animals). What I mean is that our system tends to enslave people and if you've been a slave long enough you tend to adjust to such a position. Hence no understanding of freedom and libertarian concepts and not even much time available to learn it because bills must be paid and because of feeling exhausted at the end of the day. The fact is that we need adoption and so it's our duty to spread the culture. Help your Bros
Nah, just fact-checking here. The bull market actually started in January 2023 - many TAs said that clearly back then, myself included. BTW, the start of a bull market doesn’t mean euphoria for non-TAs. Non TA retail investors were desperate, Bitcoin was dead once again according to media, just like in January 2023 when BTC was between $16k-24k versus the previous cycle high of $69k. It took until March 2024 to reach that level again. That’s when non-TA retail investors started turning positive (bull market started Jan 2023!) The bear market lasted from Nov/Dec 2021 until then. This pattern is very similar to all previous cycles — though it’s not an exact science! If you ask me, the halving and its effects on professional crypto businesses/miners (capitulation, pressure for efficiency, etc.), combined with Bitcoin’s natural scarcity, are the key reasons for this pattern - fundamentals follow, not the other way around. Let’s wait and see how it plays out this time. If Bitcoin drops in, let’s say, January or April 2026 at the latest, and finds its bottom at minus 70–90% of the cycle high (wherever that may be — $150k, $200k, or higher) in the months after, and everyone except Hodlers freaks out after an exhausting bear market like in the previous cycles, calling Bitcoin dead, we’ll have witnessed a typical Bitcoin cycle once again. If not, I’ll be the first to admit that something has changed, and I’d adapt my TA accordingly.
Thanks for long-term useful advices of yours. But today I need to use my card in some way. To fix this phone problem I need to go back my home country which means a fortune to me. I already need money, so I cant spend so much money to get my small amount of money from card. Thanks anyway. BTW I already know some ways to break this credit card, there are many virtual POS systems but they want huge fee rates and looking not safe to me. I just thought maybe there is more cheaper and safer way in digital world thats all.
Looking forward to it. BTW I think alt season will already have started and finished before 4 months from now.
I actually bought back 21K since usage came back, so you have that backwards. BTW I like Bitcoin too. I think it's good for store of value and decentralization, but I'm not gonna be a maximalist about it either, and can see its limits while I can see the legitimate solutions of other coins. So enjoy paying $1.64 and wait 15 minutes every time you buy a pack of gum.
Well thats what some people want to do first before entering btc. As it will be very hard to get rich for an average person buying btc this high. They can of course but most cant even get a tenth of a coin let alone a full one. So some people will play with alts and then cashout like they have in prior cycles looking to turn some of the profits into btc. BTW xrp was tied up with the counts for like 4 years so missed the last bullrun. There are a lot of unserious projects. Even still that hasn't stopped people from making money when the market turns real green. Some of these will possibly make it long-term such as a eth,sol or xrp. They just might not beat btc long-term as far as valuation. Anyway it has been a rough year for most alts so its understandable to doubt it this time around.

How about CNY or DAI if you want USD? BTW good on you for your view. If only we had more like you in the world.
It was at 110k like a week ago. Why didn't you buy then? We're you waiting for a "bottom" and missed your chance? Hindsight is 20/20, especially so in investing. For all either of us know it will down to 100k tomorrow. It could also be 150k. Or hold in low 120's. Or any other scenario. No one knows when BTC will leg up from a price point "for good". For example if you were waiting on just the right buy in under 20k in late 2022 and missed it, well...there hasn't been an opening that low since January 2023, and probably won't be again (outside of market collapse, which wouldn't be good). The best way to avoid that pain is just to get your stack today and not worry about min-maxxing on price. BTW this is true of any investing/store of value acquisition, its not unique to BTC. Time in market generally beats timing market, outside of sheer luck, which is just gambling and little different than putting it all on black at the casino.
Chinese Zodiac… BTC is an Ox whose enemy year is ‘27. Bonus tip, NYSE will fall hard too because ‘27 is an enemy year for it as well. So that big recession you keep hearing about… likely will come in ‘27. Make bank while you can, buy the lows in ‘27 then cash out at the next bullrun. Just my opinion though. BTW, I use to laugh at this stuff as well but when I seen multi-millionaires using it.. well… you look into it for yourself and test it out by back testing the charts.
BTW, I don’t even trade. Your judgement is wrong. You do need students to listen to you or someone to be your patient? You put yourself in a psychological consultant / teacher position. If I do things like you, I could also say: hey, get a social life, you seem lack social intelligence and it seems no one listens to you or respect you in your life, so you try every opportunity online to be a stranger’s life judger and teacher. Because in real life, no one treat your words seriously.
BTW, thanks for jumping on my lonely post.
Grifty grifters gonna' grift. BTW, is this the genius kid who amazes his father by the way he turns on his computer?
I'm sorry I offended you. You're right I'm a simpleton investor. But if you just take a look at how many millionaires that Alts have created (outside of VC Insiders and Founders) and compare it to how many millionaires BTC has created, it's not close as to which has been the better investment. You do you though! And BTW- It's also funny that you singled out ADA as I happen to be a believer in the Cardano chain and actually develop on it. I'm pumped for Midnight and have a small exposure to ADA (been staked for almost 6 years).
They give worthless coins in change of your biometric data. Do you want to sell your privacy data for a few bucks? BTW, they were kicked out of Kenya for privacy concerns.
It's not your money, it's the bank's liability. The bank can refuse your transactions, freeze or close your account at will because it is nothing more than an entry in their centralized database. You're giving up sovereignty for speed. That is the trade off you are making. It's a sensible trade off in a lot of cases but not all. Ask the Lebanese and Cypriots. BTW if you want instant nearly free transfers on Bitcoin you can use lightning.
The same happened to me on Coinbsse. It's the “spread.” I'm not really up to speed on it, but I plan to look into it more. BTW, I bought $100 of BTC on Binance, and when I tried to send it to my cold wallet, they were going to charge me about 40% of the amount in fees. I ended up selling it at a $4 loss and sending the proceeds to my bank account.
>BTW it did make a ATH last month on the 24th. So maybe check before making a wrong comment trying to call me ignorant, makes you look real silly lo Ahahaahahahahhahaahhahahaahahh you mean to tell me you don't understand inflation 2021 dollars are not 2025 dollars lol. Git good kid. Also, the joke about spelling maxi was to imply that being a bitcoin maxi meant being correct, not an insult to your spelling or grammar. Stay mad.
No I'm not triggered you are the one that was rude. All i said was dude but then figured i don't know if you are a lady or whatever. I don't care what the CFTC considers you i don't know you. I have done just fine in the market so i don't need your advice at all. I understand enough likely more then you so I'm in no need of your worthless advice. So just piss off and quite trying pretend like im rude as if you were respectful. Yes i was rude but in response to you being rude. BTW i just checked and it did make a ATH last month on the 24th. So maybe check before making a wrong comment trying to call me ignorant, makes you look real silly lol.
RNDR is another money grab token from Brendan Eich, who also created the BAT token/project. BAT is down -95% since 2018. Here is my warning to gullible people about this shitcoin in 2019 calling it a money grab gimmick token and project and it'll never be adopted. People were calling me a mouth breather who is betting against one of the biggest brains on the planet who created Javascript and founded Mozilla. They happily cheer-led BAT and Brendan Eich to -95% losses. In it for the technology as usual. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/cflfh9/why_does_brave_need_its_own_currency_why_cant_it/euba6hr/ If you know Brendan Eich slowly rugpulled gullible people with a token that is down -95% and you still decide to buy his 2nd project RNDR, it's not an investment, it's a donation. BTW, Decentralized Compute, Storage, Cloud, AI are all scams. These kind of bullshit hype projects have been around since 2017 with SIA, Golem, etc. Remember Golem was a huge project at one time, they had over $1 Billion in ETH and still couldn't produce any type of viable product with all that money. These are vaporware and/or not feasible/efficient to compete with public cloud solutions providers who invest billions per year into infrastructure and R&D. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Thanks for the pep talk, but that's not what OP asked. OP asked if it's impossible to predict the price of Bitcoin in 30 years. I was letting him know that yes, it's impossible. Because it's impossible to actually predict anything. Of course someone can try to forecast the price of Bitcoin in 30 years. But most 16 year olds should be able to intuit that predicting the outcome of a complex system, especially over 30 years, is a completely futile endeavor. Bitcoin could be $0 in 30 years, or it could be $100million, or it could be $10 billion. Anyone who tries to give you a "better" prediction is full of shit. BTW prediction has no place in science. You hypothesize with a question, experiment, and observe. Where does "predict" ever come into the equation?
It will work, but like others have said, you should transfer the coins to a fresh wallet created on the Trezor. BTW, great job on improving your cold storage game.
Every month my wife and I each separately buy or sell a small amount of BTC from our separate Trezors on our separate Kraken accounts. Then we compare experiences. After a few months of this we both feel much more comfortable with the process and each other's capabilities. We were using Gemini brokerage but had our accounts canceled for no reason - a real learning experience for my wife about the flakeyness of the crypto world! Sometimes we use each other's Trezors to make sure we each have full access. Nothing beats repetition of the actual process! Multi page directions are too abstract without doing the real thing multiple times, but written instructions are definitely useful as backup. Now we need to get our heirs trained this way as well. BTW: Fidelity emailed me recently that I could send and receive BTC in my Fidelity Crypto account. Previously they only allowed buying and selling BTC within your account, and no transfers in or out of the account. I have tried sending BTC to Fidelity with no problems. They charge 1% fee to sell which is not as good as Kraken, but I trust Fidelity custody more than Kraken and other crypto brokers for custody. Has anyone else used Fidelity for BTC custody? So far they do not seem to allow crypto accounts to specify a beneficiary. Not sure why. BTW2: You can set up a Fidelity Charitable donor advised fund and fund it with BTC or almost any asset. That is what got me started with Fidelity. This can be beneficial if you have taxable crypto capital gains, and want to make charitable contributions to 501c3 organizations. Once you set it up, it is all automated by monthly, quarterly, or annual EFT or mailed check, and resulting in one simple tax filing form giving you a charitable deduction on your account deposits that year, not just on the specific contributions your charitable fund made that year.
It's already happening now. BTW, great advice
I guess you don't have a bank account or make any purchases greater than 10k? It would be nice to avoid KYC but if you want a legitimate exchange that abides by canadian laws and regulations, then that's the reality. Oh, and pay your capital gains taxes. They suck, but not paying taxes is an arguably suckier move towards your fellow citizens. (This applies to billionaires too, BTW! Tax dodgers are POS with nothing to contribute)
Thanks for the kind words, I'm happy to help. I also mainly hold physical gold, it is the best way to hold gold but it doesn't hurt to hold some digital for convenience and liquidity benefits. I'd say go for physical 100% if you only wish to hold long term. And BTW, when I said stocks I meant mining stocks. There are stocks for gold and silver mining companies like GDX and SILJ. When gold rises like this, those stocks benefit a lot like alt coins in crypto, but they are much much more stable and actually are something instead of those worthless memes.
This response tells me you are another typical whiny Millennial that spent all their money 15 years ago on $15 avocado toast and constantly buying the latest iDevice every year and went to an expensive college to get a degree in liberal arts. Stop blaming baby boomers for all your problems and take some responsibility. Im Gen X, BTW before you start thinking Im one of them.
Fair, I see where you-re coming up with this, I guess it's a risk/return type of decision. BTW don't forget the top 20 market cap rotated heavily from cycle to cycle
Correct, traders are definitely not long-term holders and BTW pers are all synthetic
Totally. Sorry for the buzzwords, I hate them too. What can I skim? Heppy to cleanse the post And BTW I'm grateful you see it for what it is. crypto tokens are just communities gathered around a common objective (yes, price going up and in doing so other things too)
It's probably because the fees to sell BCH are not being shown. You probably don't have enough to cover the fees. BTW, I do not have Venmo, but I understand how Crypto works.... kind of. I also would never touch crypto from Paypal/Venmo until all the kinks are worked out.
The "West" has been dreaming of dismantling Iran from within for decades to rob it out of its rich resources and turn it into a demilitarized desert like they did to Libya. These "protests" are designed and funded by them, namely the US and the UK, for the sake of their proxy in the region, Israel, so they can become the unmatched dominant power in the region. They openly admit that they want a regime change and they want to install a puppet who never talks about a defense plan to facilitate them in completely getting rid of all of the Iranian defense programs. Any sane government official who wants his country intact would suppress these "protestors" at all costs. Few thousands of brainwashed population by the western propaganda stages, BBC Persian, Voice of America Farsi, Iran International, to name a few, based and funded in the US, UK and Israel, are nothing compared to the ultimate safety and protection of the oldest nation on Earth. BTW, why the fuck would BBC and VOA have 24/7 media platforms in fucking FARSI? Do they have one for Norwegian or Thai or Japanese folks? No? Why not? The thing is though, demilitarizing the place would be a very hard task nowadays for them to accomplish, now that the Iranians have gathered a missile arsenal that can turn Israel into fine dust, and N-bombs mounted on ICBMs with global coverage.

I'm from the Philippines, too. Congrats on stacking pre! BTW, have you tried selling bitcoin to pesos? Which PH banks have been proven to be suitable when doing this?
You might be able to mortgage your BTC instead of your house. Need a loan for a new roof? Put the BTC up for measured collateral. Bank doesn’t want your 1957 Craftsmen House, but they will take your BTC. Fartcoin is not accepted, BTW…
BTW, using a 24th word that results in a failed checksum will still create a wallet, and you can still use that wallet to receive and send $BTC. It's just that you are bypassing the checksum mechanism, and thus most wallet software/hardware will not let you do it. The checksum mechanism was intended to make certain that users have a very small chance of accidentally using the wrong word when creating their wallet. It also means that, should you need to re-create that wallet in another piece of software/hardware that enforces checksums, then you will not be able to. You will need to use your original method since it does not enforce checksums.
BTW, in case you were wondering what a measly little $35 per week for the last 5 years would have looked like: First weekly close used: 2020-09-28 Last weekly close used: 2025-09-15 Total invested: $9,100.00 ($35 for 260 weeks) BTC accumulated: 0.25128294 BTC Valuation price (last close in window): $114,917.50 Portfolio value (at last close): $28,876.81 Unrealized P/L vs cost: $19,776.81 (217.33%)
AFAIK she did not believe in investing and died far less wealthy than her book sales would suggest. A repulsive person (to me) BTW. This will sound paradoxical but I grew up in the pre-1989 Poland and her types were common among the communist elite. They all switched to hardcore capitalists on a dime in 1989. Just like she did when she left the USSR. Long story.
BTW, BTC can do more than 300,000 transactions per day. BTC peaked at around 925,000 transactions per day in 2024. It did 643,000 a few days ago. [https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html#3y](https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html#3y)
You cant eat bitcoin either, I've tried. BTW houses have given an entire generation financial freedom.
