I mean it is around 100K in CAD

Over time I have found that for me, moving it when it reaches around 2-3k CAD works well. Right now that’s about 25 million sats

In the early days for me - 2018 - I saw my investment go to one third what I had paid. I felt shit so I just put it away for a while. My actual returns are still good today, even though I was at recently almost 9X and now about 5 - but I had thought it might go to 50K (CAD) and I was ok with that, because I knew theres still sunshine on the other side.

**Stick to the plan, mate. Same boat here: 2 BTC in registered, rest in cold storage. Accumulating hard until Oct 2026, then everything goes to XEQT. Hoping BTC hits 250k CAD post-halving so I can sell and dump it all into XEQT. Rinse and repeat. Good luck to us!**

Demihan2049

When Bitcoin was about $300 CAD, I was convincing my uncle to buy some and he told me if he wanted to buy ice cream with Bitcoin, how much would he need and how long would the transaction take. I was like, you know what, forget me mentioning it. But yeah, even in 2026 you still have people looking at Bitcoin as useless because you cannot easily buy stuff with it. Meanwhile, others see it as more valuable than actual fiat currency, especially since it is easy to convert into fiat.

Not yet! It's so new that cities haven't adapted their building codes and regulations to it yet. It's not structurally capable enough for high density projects but could be used in place of masonry mass housing for example. Could allow for cool forms too, just draw it in CAD press print and lay in rebar and the shitty development gets individuality and variety not available with prefab and modular.  Prefab is great too man don't be a hater.

yeah kraken should work for you, they still operate in canada and handle USDT. you can transfer your tokens from binance to kraken wallet, then convert to CAD and withdraw to your bank just make sure you have proper verification set up on kraken first since canadian exchanges are pretty strict about that stuff now. the transfer might take bit of time but should go through fine

For context, I already own some spot bitcoin, IBIT, and ASST. I’m probably at around 35% allocated to bitcoin at the moment. Will be much higher if I fill port my TFSA into an ETF, I also considered MSTR the CAD hedged version of MSTR

yeah the if it wasn't for the several 100's of times it was "announced" dead before hitting $1 you'd have maybe a few tens of thousands lol. still great, but the way this is phrased/made in general is stoopid. also, random story, but: my older brother was good friends with this super interesting but very odd guy, and he bought a bunch of bitcoin when it was between $50-$600 over the years. He kept telling my brother to buy some and so he did, but only bought 2 of them when it was around $620 (tbf he was in high school so not like he had thousands to spare lol). I think he sold them around $12k which was still an awesome profit for him at the time, but oh man if he held... that being said, I have absolutely NO idea how people hold past (CAD) $20, $35, $50k, let alone $100k or $150k or whatever, especially if you got in earlier. It must be people who are already rich and dont care much, or have a fk ton of it from way back when, because if you're under 25-30y/o and that shit is going up id be having a heart attack like every day lmao. The nerve it takes to keep holding, wow, kudos to those people; I suppose it's different now but back in the 2010's man I seriously dont get how people held on. gg lol

Hey, Shakepay employee here! Happy to help answer these: Counterparty is always Shakepay, we source liquidity from external liquidity providers. We're regulated by CIRO as a broker-dealer in Canada and have very strict policies around best executions for customer transactions. $0 spread is for CAD-to-BTC recurring BTC buys and BTC auto-buys on payroll direct deposits. Otherwise, spread is 0.5%-2.0% depending on the size of trade and market volatility. Pricing of crypto assets on Shakepay is set on a dynamic and ongoing basis. When you want to buy or sell crypto, our algorithm gets current prices for the crypto asset from an aggregation of pricing information received from our liquidity providers. You can read more about this in our [best execution polic](https://legal.shakepay.com/master/best-execution-policy)y. We offer many products that don't generate revenue like ShakingSats (shake your phone, earn bitcoin), with the goal of helping Canadians accumulate and form a habit around earning bitcoin. This is one of those.

Hour_Office552

Could just be the exchange rate translating the same USD levels. For example if BTC stalls around $70k USD, that naturally shows up around C$95-100k depending on FX. Might look like a CAD pattern but really it's just the USD levels coming through as usual haha

tldr; The Canadian police have warned the public about fake crypto recovery service scams, where fraudsters exploit information from original scams to steal more funds. In one case, a victim in Nanaimo, British Columbia, lost $5,000 CAD in a crypto scam and was later targeted by fraudsters claiming to recover $60,000 in stolen funds. The RCMP clarified they do not contact individuals about discovered cryptocurrency accounts or partner with private firms for recovery. Citizens are urged to report scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

ysa0077

if you don't know much, best thing to do is to DCA, dollar cost average. So let's say every month when you get your salary you can afford to put $100, put that $100. Ideally try to buy at a time where BTC is lower than usual (if you see it hovering around 95k CAD then try to set the order at 94k CAD).

SeaMicSte

I don’t have much. Enough that I care and would like to see it do well, but an amount that I wouldn’t be torn up over losing. Namely, $3K principal in BTC @ 64k DCA, $1.5K principal in ETH @ $2,700 DCA. All numbers in CAD

iCantDoPuns

Honor system unless you get audited. In the US at least. You self report your own cost-basis when the broker liquidating doesnt have one. If you want to turn BTC to fiat, you have to transfer it to an exchange like coinbase and sell it for CAD or USD. They are the entity that will transfer CAD/USD to a bank account. In the US, right around now, Coinbase issues tax docs. Some brokers will ask what your cost-basis was for coins transferred in, and you just type a number. If you do, that number is used on the tax statements. If not they issue you a statement showing a huge cap gain from a cost basis of $0. In the US, its still up to us to report that with our tax return, and when we do, we again have the option to add or change the cost basis. In the US, the IRS is less likely to audit you if you pick a reasonable cost basis and pay some tax. This is clearly NOT legal or even good advice, but it is true. If you get caught egregiously lying on a tax return (like saying you bought in at $120K and it's all a loss) you can go to prison, so dont, but the IRS was just gutted. US 2026 filings wont be reviewed until 2028 if ever, but if you are audited, If you bought in in 2015, the cost basis was under $500/btc, which is honestly so close to 0 - youre paying taxes on 14000% gains - that if you were trying to pay what you really owe its kinda pointless to care. The difference between a $0 and $500 cost basis is trivial when theres been 60K in appreciation beyond that. $3000 / $500 = 6BTC or now about $396K, of which $393K is cap gains. If you went with a cost basis of 0, and a tax rate of 24% youd pay $95,040, but if you use a $500 cost basis, it would drop to $94,320. That $700 difference is hardly worth the mental energy.

Quietabandon

1 million CAD is nice cushion. It hardly makes you set for life. Even in a lower cost country. But there you have the issue of legal entanglements with you home country which might make it a challenge to travel. Plus, there are other reasons like family/ friends/ partners that might make it unreasonable to randomly move.

stanley_fatmax

He said close to a million CAD, not billions lol. Why uproot their life for that?

SteveW928

Tell your teacher that criminals (or I suppose losers) can use any kind of technology, just like people can use the same technology for good. But, if your teacher is worried over this, MANY more criminals use fiat money. For example, JP Morgan was the bank that primarily funded Epstein. If that is the argument, they'll have to stop using dollars, too. Most Bitcoin use isn't criminal. So, pretty much all the things these people do with it. I've used Bitcoin to buy the parts to build a CAD/3D/gaming PC. I've used Bitcoin to buy books. I've used Bitcoin to buy coffee and food. People use Bitcoin to store the results of their work, and protect against inflation. Some people use Bitcoin to escape brutal regimes with some of their wealth. Some people use Bitcoin to fund human rights campaigns and protests when the government tries to stop funding sources. Some people use Bitcoin to get aid into people under persecution. Some people use Bitcoin to quickly and cheaply send money to friends or relatives on the other side of the world. Ask your teacher what they do with money. That's what we do with Bitcoin.

Darryl_444

Sold all by averaging out during Q4 2025. Decent gains, dodged the cyclical bullet. Immediately bought a BTC-shorting 1X ETF (BITI, available in $CAD or $USD) with 1/3 of the proceeds. Rest into low-risk, low-yield liquid investments. Plan to exit short position around late Q3 2026, and look to re-enter BTC bull market again in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027, it probably won't make much difference.

headline is pretty sensational. FTA: >We are aware that some users in Canada may be experiencing latency or degraded performance when depositing CAD via EFT on mobile app. so in one country, on the app, using a specific funding method.

Just switch your display to CAD and keep stacking.

MikaelAbou

The interest would come out to maybe 3k to 3.5k CAD over 2 years, which to me sounds like a small price to pay for a full coin. I’ll definitely be DCAing consistently however, that’s not gonna change.

me9o

> the price of BTC in Euros doesn't tell us anything different than the price of BTC in USD Uh, yes it does. The value of bitcoin is not intrinsically denominated in USD, there's no special reason to use USD and not EUR or CAD or the Yuan. Only ever looking at BTC vs USD, just like only ever looking at any two currencies and ignoring all others, causes you to ignore bitcoin *dropping even more in value against all other currencies.* What we really need here is a "BTC index", where bitcoin is not presented as a value in only USD, but rather against a basket of currencies. This index would show BTC dropping in value more than "only" its drop in value against the USD. I get that you're probably American and so having everything be denominated in USD seems like the correct and simple and natural thing to do, but it misses out on bitcoin actually dropping in value even more than the BTC vs USD value suggests.

noobstockinvestor

I said that. I bought 20k CAD worth today though

KoldPurchase

Bitcoin won't change anything to that. It's not just one bad President, it's an entire country's decision to slide toward that movement. Trump didn't arrive there by accident, he was chosen by half the population, lots of people in the world love him like a god, including in Canada. It's a trainwreck that was in slow motion since the 80s. Probably since the Civil War ended, actually. Anyway. It's not Central Banking the problem. Central Banking is maintaining the US afloat. Crypto currencies are being manipulated by whales. Unless your forbid all market trading of Bitcoin, your only currency - and then you have other problems - , you can't fix currency manipulation. A couple of whales could liquidate their bitcoins to buy Euros. Or they hoard it and the poor have nothing left, just like in medieval times with land. Look at the BC or any crypto charts vs US$ or AUD or CAD to prove my point.

Small_Appearance2014

If you’re starting with 100 CAD, a safe approach is to diversify a bit rather than going all-in on one coin. You could consider RYO for its practical use and strong infrastructure, plus established coins like ETH or SOL for stability and adoption. That way you get a mix of long-term potential and real-world utility.

SteveW928

Yeah, though in a long enough time, I guess all Bitcoin maxis have had a similar experience. I bought an ASIC miner a few years back with Bitcoin. I bought a CAD/gaming PC with Bitcoin last year. In 10 years, those moves are going to feel a bit like Laszlo I think (likely not quite as extreme), and lots of us are doing that all the time. Bitcoin is money. It is a very special kind of money, but is money. If I need a pizza, that $40 (fiat) is just the current exchange rate, and if I don't use Bitcoin, then it is fiat I didn't buy Bitcoin with. Pretty much the same end result.

How do you know bitcoin isn't mainstream? When someone who bought $100 CAD worth of btc describes it as "caving," i.e. against their better judgement but they felt pressured.

Gold-Succotash-9217

Definitely has it's own problems. So does buying resources (precious metals, stocks) and hoarding them. The thing about cash is it's backed and controlled by the governments and country you're in. So it has a real use. I don't go to Canada and swap to bitcoin to buy food. I swap to CAD and I can buy everything in a store. Regular people can't adopt crypto for anything but speculative gambling on it. You can't buy food or pay a mortgage with it. Unless you want to be part of this weird clique and trade people in it. Which is just absurd. Crypto had only a few uses and they're online dark web stuff and online gambling. Which is being replaced. It also had some nice ideas, like being secure, which has not panned out at all. We just stole 15 billion from China yesterday. Or being untrackable/untraceable so you're safe to use it, which also doesn't pan out. Especially if you want to buy anything tangible.

RevolutionaryYear518

This is the time to buy... still kinda early probably. Last time this happened it was trading at 72 cents CAD... it stayed there for sooooooo long. It would go up and down a few cents but it basically stayed the same. I sold and it doubled then I bought back in and it doubled again. Stagnant is normal... still probably another year and a half - 2 years before another major pump. Stack. You got time.

Wait why would the traditional government led financial system collapse? Totally agree with the other comment. Nothing happens. Bitcoin will replace storage of value against weak currencies. Already seeing this. But USD, EU, CAD… fiat will still be around. Widely circulated. And many will be happy with their bitcoin return and many will be unhappy with opportunity loss. But nothing changes fundamentally.

If you keep the bet terms a bit nebulous you can price BTC in CAD and it is well over 100k. Otherwise, not worth the risk.

nassauboy9

I propose that BTC is backed by energy, and would go a far as to say indirectly a store of energy. If you can see that it takes energy to make the BTC, and that you basically digitized that value (the cost to make that energy) then you should be able to see that having that ability to spend/borrow against exist. I hold multiple currencies, let's say USD, CAD, EURO .... is holding BTC in some amount not prudent? What backs the USD short of the Petro Dollar and the military might (which by the way needs dollars to exist)? Supply and demand is true for all asset categories. Maybe the demand for BTC is low at the moment, To each their own, and as someone mentioned everyone gets BTC at the price they deserve. When BTC was 30$ CAD, so lets say about $20 USD a coin, I only convince 5 people to buy one.

dj_destroyer

I started doing this January 1st (because of this guy as he or someone reposts it frequently) so I'm at \~0.0918 BTC bought for about $10k CAD. Even though I've been in this space since 2017, I now finally understand why people "*feign"* happiness when it dips -- they're not lying but rather actually legitimately excited at the chance of getting sats for cheaper. I'm buying every day no matter what, so it's nice to see when those orders return 25k (recently) sats instead of 17k sats (October 6th). As long as the longterm thesis doesn't change, it's literally just getting them on sale. When BTC is $1M in 2035-2040, I'll likely have a full BTC from this alone. The best part is I used to eat out for breakfast and/or lunch and now I just make it myself. Healthier and cheaper -- plus I might be a millionaire in 10-15 years because of it. Take that avocado toast!

Held since 2011, loaded up in 2015 and held till this summer where I sold several million to build a house. Never sold till now, due to various reasons like my salary was very good (now retired) and didn’t need money (saw the CAD/USD collapse) and saw the bigger picture a decade ago (knowing full well we would hit 100k one day).

Man, this is so me. I actually learned about Bitcoin in 2009/10 as a University class project to learn about digital currency. Forgot about it, then bought some in 2015 - cashed it out 2017 - made about I dunno 5-6k. As a broke student that was A LOT of money for me. Was over the moon, then when it crashed in 2018 I bought 3 at like 7-8k CAD - I put ALL my extra money in. 1 in Coinbase 2 in Quadriga (I KNOW) Because of the lower fees, I had all clients pay me in Bitcoin to Quadriga (I was a videographer and filmed a lot of crypto-related stuff for rich crypto owners) I racked up like I dunno 8ish Bitcoins in Quadriga that year. Was super excited to hold. I did freelance videographer work and used the salary from my job to pay for life expenses. As you know, come 2019 I was about to have a baby and figured - let's check how much it's worth now, and well lo and behold the whole Quadriga scam, I lost EVERYTHING except my one Bitcoin in Coinbase. Held a bit, pulled it out when it reached about 20k - I needed the money because COVID wiped out my entire industry and I had to take on debt to pay rent and buy food. That one coin cleared out my debt, and well, I just didn't buy in again. When Bitcoin hit 100k I cried lol legit cried. I'd have been a millionaire. I didn't buy in April 2025 - chickened out. I just bought in for the first time since, and I really hope this time my crypto journey has a happier ending. LOL

Educational: The Herman Miller inflation example perfectly illustrates two key economic concepts: 1) **Purchasing power erosion**: Your CAD lost 40% of its buying power in 5 years (~7% annual inflation), which is actually worse than official CPI figures suggest. This happens because fiat currencies are constantly being devalued through monetary expansion. 2) **Bitcoin as a unit of account**: Your observation about the chair costing 0.09 BTC in 2020 vs 0.0156 BTC today demonstrates Bitcoin's deflationary nature. As its fixed supply meets increasing demand, each unit becomes more valuable over time. This is exactly why many consider Bitcoin "hard money"

I’m currently baiting the universe. I bought $50k Canadian worth when 110,000USD BTC price. Then immediately it started dropping. Good thing I have $10K CAD in my account to DCA. So I’m looking forward to a huge crash. Go ahead fucker, crash I beg you crash all the way down to $40k like people are saying. Then I can by 0.25 BTC. I’m fucking waiting.

Tell her to just switch the currency setting to CAD to fix it.
