Yep, like it shows on the left bottom of the image. BTW, I believe that CMC uses exactly the same source.
Money printer is about to run like old broken diesel engine, where leakage adds to thrust and only way to stop it is to put on 3rd gear (manual) and hit breaks. Or just wait for it to blow up. [https://youtube.com/shorts/O73G4RaTREU?si=-QomhboUm6zDEPH4](https://youtube.com/shorts/O73G4RaTREU?si=-QomhboUm6zDEPH4) BTW how do You do it with automatic gearbox?
If you are asking the question this way, no you should not. This is like being in Junior High Football and asking if you are ready to play for Alabama. Oh, BTW, you play Indiana University next week.
BTW...Maduro and his complicit corrupt wife were arrested by FBI agents who were flown in to Caracus on helicopters. This was a law enforcement operation, not a military incursion.
BTW there a a select few (maybe like 2) YouTubers that are actually worth a f***. The goat just retired so that number is shrinking…
BTW the peak of 2021 was 100% November ... Go take a look at the charts.
Well I'm not going to write and whole article and post it on reddit is not the place that. So calling that the title said. But FYI no everything is happening around USA. I talk about ETF because they got released at January 2024, BTW the biggest was GBTC before converting and now is Microstrategy having even more that GBTC used to have. Also 2024 was a bull year and everyone was calling 2025 to be the top because 4 years circle. Pick the context you like it more there is a lot.
OK... but here's the catch. Having this seed phrase backed up this way is pretty good in terms of being robust, especially with a secondary location. You're not going to forget or misplace it if you plan this out reasonably well. You might even keep one in a home fire-safe. BUT, your security is a bit weak, as anyone who happens to gain access could steal your Bitcoin. So, relatively high security risk. To compensate for this, you'll want to add what is known as a passphrase. This is an actual Bitcoin standard thing which combines with a seed phrase and adds extra entropy, generating a unique new private key, based on these two pieces of information. The downside.... a bit more complexity. You MUST have both the seed phrase (maybe in your safe), and this passphrase to access the wallet. However, this adds a bunch of security and flexibility. Now we can also stamp this passphrase into metal (it can be multiple words, or a character string similar to a password... like 12+ characters minimum... lowercase/uppercase matters, numbers, even symbols). Be sure you learn about passphrases enough to have basic understanding! But, this passphrase can be stored somewhere like a safety deposit box at a bank. Neither piece is good by itself, so someone robbing your home is out of luck with just the seed phrase. You could include instructions with that copy in the safety deposit box for a basic inheritance setup, as such boxes are turned over to family. You could even store the passphrase in a password wallet... just use caution here. Nobody might know it is a passphrase, and that's probably good. But, it won't be recognizable like a seed phrase on its own, so storing it digitally could be safe as a backup. (Kind of depends on if you want access to it w/o the trouble of going to the bank... not having access ups security in case of a robbery, for example.) Other benefits, too. Since you're adding in entropy, if the hardware wallet's seed phrase generation had any flaws, you've mitigated that problem. This setup also takes pressure off the security of the base seed phrase, so in certain situations, you don't have to be quite as careful with it (like, say you temporarily did need to go all digital, or non-metal in luggage for country-fleeing)... having this split info provides protection. BTW, the base seed phrase is a valid wallet... so you could put some amounts of Bitcoin there and use it as a form of decoy wallet, or indicator that base seed phrase ever got compromised. Hope this helps... a lot there, but with a bit of effort, this really isn't as scary as it looks. After you've done this and a few transactions, it won't be all that scary any longer. And, so long as you have learned enough to basically understand what is going on, you should be able to maintain it. Just keep learning and a bit of an 'ear to the ground' in terms of Bitcoin knowledge so you hear about security things or changes to Bitcoin protocol (if/when they happen).
I made a poll for the rest of the sub: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pzxl77/what\_is\_your\_expectaion\_for\_2026/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1pzxl77/what_is_your_expectaion_for_2026/) Whose knows how many have sold. Maybe we need a poll of that. BTW I am bullish. I think the sellers will get exhausted quicker than 2022.
If there is no ATH in 2026, the 4 year cycle belivers are still vindicated because it topped in q4. But if we see an ATH in 2026 they are wrong. BTW sentiment has changed so much recently that most think 2026 is not bullish. Now is the time to buy. Us contrarians will win.
BTW THIS IS HUGE BUYING SIGNALS FOR ALT COINS, WHEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING DESPERATE! Just heads up to any smart people now even tho I usually just troll here.
It said credit-based right there? Bitcoin solves exactly this flow as it can be used as a dynamic balance sheet asset to prolong credit cycles and grow with inflation. That's exactly the solution that made it click for me. You should ask your AI model how banks can leverage Bitcoin to get more info on that. BTW: How would you answer OPs question?
Crypto is ONLY for money you can afford to lose. Its not a traditional investment. BTW, the S&P 500 is outperforming Bitcoin now. The days of getting rich quick with crypto are over.
As we speak, someone is ramping up gold and silver production. (great for the environment, BTW) As we speak, some smart kid is utilizing AI to build a company that disrupts the exploration/mining/refining industry. Study supply/demand response.
I've used Retoswap, a Bisq fork for Monero, to acquire Monero. I've often bought at market price and never above 1% markup. Yes, there are sellers offering worse prices, but you just wait for a better deal. BTW I usually find better prices buying Monero on Retoswap than buying Bitcoin on Bisq (I've never traded on Bisq, but have it on my laptop just because I was curious about it).
I think DCA works for bitcoin. But how many folks who bought at the top have the investing mindset instead of speculating to make some quick bucks? BTW, has anyone talked about the security budget problem in this sub? What’s the general sentiment here?
Like any good investor (read: not gambler), come back in 5 years. BTW, retail is never sidelined. You don't need to buy an entire Bitcoin to invest, just like stocks, just like gold. And FWIW, I'm not selling BTC for Gold. In fact, reading more and more that people are selling gold (now that it's ATH) for Bitcoin (which is not an ATH). The cycle is happening.
Your line is messed up BTW btc went all the way to 82k ish fyi
Well despite that fact it still did better than BTC this year. BTW I own BTC but this year sucked. I will continue to own it though.
Why not, BTC > ETH // Solana > shitcoins > memecoins. Because yes, no matter what people are saying, Solana is in the top 3 cryptos, like it or not. Now for long term, while BTC seems obvious, it really depends, because if you're staking your SOL, that's something like 7% APY, which is not bad at all. BTW inb4 the "solana is all about memecoins huehue", check Shopify, Revolut, Google Cloud BigQuery and Visa, for real case utilities.
Wait no, hold on. If all the treasuries get tokenized on there, then Canton "disappears" the US can claim 0 debt. I'm saying this half sarcastically BTW. But there's idiots that think this.
BTW, you can get it for just 51 USD with the code START15 (-15%). I was in their email list and got this code, so I think they forgot to turn it off. I have many miners and this one is my favorite, because, yes, the odds are low, but with enough time they rank up and it's much more affordable compared to alternatives. It is not like you're gonna win within 2 days. But it's gonna run for years on my desk, and one day... Hope this helps.
BTW, you can get it for just 51 USD with the code START15 (-15%). I was in their email list and got this code, so I think they forgot to turn it off. I have many miners and I must say this is by far the best way to get into the niche, because, yes, the odds are low, but with enough time they rank up and it's so cheap compared to alternatives. It is not like you're gonna win within 2 days. But it's gonna run for years on my desk... Hope this helps!
BTW you can do exactly the same with any asset and a regular bank. People do that with company shares. But they avoid going over 30%. Now, compare share volatility and crypto volatility, and guess how high your ratio should be if you want to be safe ...
Which part are you referring to? The first sentence of the second? I challenge you to debate me on this issue for a few posts. Let's see if who is right. BTW I am not against you getting a mutual fund.
But bitcoin has only been around for 16 years. How do you even compare it stocks that have been around much longer? Especially with the huge drops we see with bitcoin that we dont see with other long lasting stocks. BTW, Im not against Bitcoin at all and weekly DCA.
What is the point in hiding names? The guy is anti bitcoin, BTW. Full bingo of the Linkedin headline :): "CFO | AI Expert | Investor | CA (AIR 20) | CMA (AIR 5) | CFA (L2) | Ex-Citi | Ex-HSBC | Ex-Genpact | Investment Banking | Private Equity | Private Debt | IPO | M&A |"
So you own 1628.6% of the whole Bitcoin market and still want to work for normies on Reddit. That's so humble and wholesome. BTW, this guy is a scammer, ban him
Don't worry, mate. I'll talk to him. You're hired, BTW.
I'm not BCH gang. I actually home mine BTC, hoping to hit the lottery. And I've been in the 21 million club since 2017, when it only cost $1200 to be a member. Diamond hands BTW! I did give like 120,000 doge to the NASCAR team once, that would have been nice to hold.
Sure, If you know the one which will survive, go ahead! BTW. You have better chances at roulette, it's 2,6%to hit a 35x there!
Almost done with the top left one. Possibly the next one will be either Lyn Alden's "Broken Money" or Lawrence Lepard's "The Big Print". BTW anyone here read Natalie Brunell's "Bitcoin is for everyone"?
Oh wow, I don't expect to solve a block and win the BTC lotto, but it's nice to wake up and quickly check my Phantom wallet on the off chance. BTW, I haven't won a lotto jackpot either! 😅
> It wasn't CIA BTW. Explain why you think this.
Explain why you think this. It wasn't CIA BTW.
The fake news stays but with community notes to name and shame the sauce. Ah, if only the world could be taken over by an ai that thinks it’s ok to kill 20 people type A to save one person type B because muh equity. Give it six months and you may have your wish. BTW Grok also thinks 35% chance that Jack the Ripper is Charles Allen Lechmere and it’s defo him so 35% = dead cert.
Here is the game BTW [https://buck.meme/](https://buck.meme/)
Bitcoin is dropping because of the four year cycle. Second week of October 2025 was the 200 week top. It was predicted three years ago. The bottom will be in November 2026 The next top would be 150 weeks after the bottom. BTW, this is my third 4 year cycle. I plan on doing this for another 40 years. i’m going anywhere.
This occurred in November BTW, not an additional purchase
Post is by: Series7Trader and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pgr9im/understanding_tail_risk_the_hidden_threat_behind/ Understanding Tail Risk: The Hidden Threat Behind Market Extremes *By Series7Trader* *December 7, 2025* 3 minute read. Non shill content. TLDR - * Tail risk = rare, extreme market moves that can erase years of gains in a single event. * Left-tail risk (downside) is what kills accounts: crashes, liquidations, regime shifts, contagion. * Right-tail risk (upside) is where massive unexpected winners live (squeezes, volatility breakouts, catalysts). * Pros build their risk systems around the tails, not the average day: volatility-based sizing, strict stops, hedging, stress tests. * Survival edge: you don’t design a strategy for normal markets—you design it so you’re still standing when the market goes off-script. Tail risk refers to the possibility of extreme price movements- events that sit far outside normal expectations but carry disproportionately large consequences. These are the violent dislocations, liquidity shocks, and sudden volatility explosions that wipe out portfolios in minutes. They are rare, but when they hit, they hit hard. Most traders focus on everyday fluctuations. Professionals focus on the tails - the zones where standard models break, correlations converge to one, and the market stops behaving rationally. And all markets naturally and always behave irrationally. Set your stop watch. What Tail Risk Actually Is Tail risk comes from the statistical shape of market returns. Most activity happens in the “center” of the distribution -ordinary volatility, typical swings, nothing unusual. But deep on the edges of that curve are the tails, where extreme upside or downside events live. For practical trading purposes: Tail risk is the danger of a low-probability move that creates high-impact losses. Examples include: A sudden 20–40-80% single-day crash A liquidation cascade across leveraged markets A flash crash triggered by a liquidity vacuum A macro catalyst that detonates risk assets, Fan favorite. CRUX: These events are infrequent, but are frequent enough that they define whether a trader survives or disappears. Left Tail vs. Right Tail Left-Tail Risk (Downside) The one every professional is obsessed with. It includes: Market collapses Forced liquidations Systemic contagion Abrupt regime shifts Left-tail events destroy capital fast. Managing this side of the distribution is the foundation of institutional risk control. Right-Tail Risk (Upside) The counterpart — massive unexpected gains. The Unicorn White Swan. Some strategies are designed to hunt right-tail events (volatility breakouts, structural squeezes, catalysts), while risk systems are designed to defend against left-tail impacts Why Tail Risk Is the Real Account-Killer CRUX: Tail events violate assumptions. Assumptions are the wallet killer. Volatility spikes A portfolio that looks safe under everyday volatility can be obliterated by one tail event because the magnitude is so much larger than what the trader sized for. Retail traders rarely prepare for these events. Institutions assume they’re inevitable. How Professionals Manage Tail Risk Institutional frameworks revolve around absorbing or avoiding tail-event damage. This includes: Volatility-aligned position sizing Strict stop-loss architecture Diversification across uncorrelated exposures Hedging with futures and options Scenario analysis and stress testing CRUX: The mindset is simple: You don’t build a strategy for normal days. **You build it for the outliers.** A Simple Mental Model Think of tail risk like a natural disaster. A hurricane might only hit once every few years - but if your house isn’t built for it, one strike is all it takes. Tail risk works the same way. (BTW hurricanes can also occur statistically one after another - but that is.... Tail Risk). You can be right 90-99% of the time, but a single left-tail event can erase years of progress. Traders who succeed long term aren’t the ones with the highest win rate; they’re the ones who remain standing when the market goes off-script. *100% organic content.

If more printing is done then yeah there will be consequences before being sent into a bearmarket, that's for sure. Might be a case of we either do that or have a 2025 situation right into a brutal bear market. So I guess whatever they feel is the lessor of two evils. BTW these checks are supposed to be from the money he made on tariffs, which was quite a bit, so if that’s truly the case, then more money shouldn’t need to be printed, if what he saying is true.
Yeah. FAFO is probably the greatest piece of wisdom of the 21st Century, BTW.
Well bring it on, cheaper coins for you and me if so. BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps the reserve at $2b and doesn't use it. Seems like just a way to apease the institutions / rating agencies
It's a common misconception that nobody did this but there are people who did just exactly that. You can look at addresses on the blockchain. Some Satoshi-era whales have moved their coins to native segwit addresses or to multisig addresses (native segwit multisig or other) and that's obvious too: these keys exists, the coins are still there. Some whales sold 1% of their coins and are obviously HODLing for life. Because the post's author would not have held this long doesn't mean nobody did. BTW that bullshit post is everywhere: somehow it's successful and reposted everywhere on LinkedIn: not exactly a proof that it's a good post. On the contrary.
Lol if you had read my history you'd not be telling me about how good crypto has been to you. Biden's bull run basically retired me at age 35. BTW none of trump's convictions have been overturned by any courts. One appeals court undid a fine he was ordered to pay, but kept the discovery of liability intact. So you're also just wrong about the bullshit you think you know. You asked me to stick to crypto. I told you that no matter what evidence anyone produced of their claims about Trump committing fraud, you would say the evidence wasn't enough. You disagreed, so I asked you if legal convictions and liabilities were firm enough evidence for you, and you sprawled there too. So you proved my point about needing to be completely unreasonable and downright stupid in order to support the con artist dipshit currently occupying the highest office. His time is coming soon though so I'll be sure to stay in touch
I don't specifically dislike ETH BTW or have some problem with it. And I'm definitely not a BTC MAXIST in the sense of "arghhhhh nothing else can exist" lol. When you say assumptions what did you mean by that out of curiosity? You've been around since BTC was $600 so ill make a presumption that you have a thorough understanding of how BTC works and that an actual protocol fork would take mass consensus, that's an immutable truth. Lastly it's not even that we value different things, I see ETHs value I hold a good amount of it. My reply to you was really triggered by your PoW is garbage comment. Being Pow is the very thing that will keep BTC the number one store of value of any digital asset in the entire crypto sphere. Really lastly lastly why do you hope I'm a wholecoiner 😂? What do you care lol. I've given more BTC away than what most people will ever hold in their life 😉.
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.

OP shows data that signals more people buying in. BUT ETF outflows is still very much negative. you know Schrodingers cat? Could very much be this case. (a lot of individuals buying back in at these prices and at the same time whales are still selling) 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.

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."
