Post is by: web3Dof and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1u1ukgi/how_i_stopped_being_exit_liquidity_6_years_using/ &#x200B; Around six years ago, I experienced one of the most frustrating moments of my trading career. I entered what looked like a textbook breakout trade. The technical setup was clean. Momentum was strong. Sentiment across crypto social media was overwhelmingly bullish. Within minutes, a massive wick hit my stop-loss, closed my position, and then price immediately reversed and moved exactly where I expected it to go. I wasn't wrong about the direction. I was simply liquidity. That experience sent me down a rabbit hole trying to understand why so many traders lose money even when their market thesis is correct. The biggest realization I came to was this: Most retail traders spend their time analyzing price. The market spends its time hunting liquidity. Once I started studying derivatives data, open interest, funding rates, liquidation clusters, and whale positioning, I realized there was an entire layer of market structure I had been ignoring. That eventually led me to CoinAnk. The feature that changed the way I trade was the liquidation heatmap. Instead of asking: "Where do I think price will go?" I started asking: "Where is the largest concentration of forced liquidations likely to occur?" That simple shift completely changed my framework. I've noticed that many experienced traders on Reddit discuss liquidation clusters and open interest as important context for understanding sudden price moves and stop hunts. Some traders specifically use heatmaps to identify crowded areas where forced liquidations can accelerate volatility. What I found useful wasn't using the heatmap as a signal by itself. Instead, it became a tool for context. I stopped placing stops in obvious locations. I stopped chasing breakouts blindly. I became more aware of where leveraged traders were positioned and where liquidity was likely sitting. Six years later, CoinAnk is still one of the main tools in my workflow because it combines several datasets I care about: Liquidation Heatmaps Open Interest Tracking Funding Rate Analysis Whale Wallet Monitoring ETF Flow Data Institutional Positioning Metrics The platform has continued expanding its derivatives and liquidity analytics, including liquidation heatmaps, open interest tracking, ETF monitoring, whale-position statistics, and fund-flow analysis. I'm curious how others here approach derivatives analysis. Do you actively monitor: Open Interest? Liquidation Heatmaps? Funding Rates? ETF Flows? Whale Wallets? Or do you focus purely on price action and market structure? Would love to hear what has actually improved your trading over the years. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Xrp crazy price targets come from cult like propaganda that pretends it's going to be the world currency. They're using the Ethiopian calendar for their predictions because their date has already passed.. That's all you really need to know. Incoming AI slop on 1k xrp "Pure math first, then the narrative requirements. The math XRP has \~62B circulating supply and a max supply of 100B.  At $1,000/XRP: • Circulating market cap: \~$62 trillion • Fully diluted: \~$100 trillion For context, total global GDP is \~$110T. The entire US stock market is \~$50T. Bitcoin’s ATH market cap was around $2T. XRP at $1,000 would be the largest single asset in human history by a massive margin. What would actually need to happen 1. XRP becomes the dominant global payment rail. SWIFT processes \~$5T/day in cross-border flows. For XRP to justify that valuation, it would essentially need to capture a significant share of all global financial settlement — not just cross-border payments, but FX, trade finance, sovereign reserves. Even then, the question is whether XRP needs to be held to move value, or just used as a bridge (the velocity problem — high velocity = low holding requirement = lower price). 2. Massive supply reduction or burn mechanism. Unlike ETH (with EIP-1559) or BTC (21M hard cap), XRP was fixed at 100B at launch with no burn mechanism built in.  Without destroying supply, the per-token price ceiling is structurally lower than scarcer assets. 3. Ripple stops selling. Ripple controls \~42% of XRP through escrow reserves  and releases tokens on a schedule. That’s a persistent supply overhang. At $1,000, Ripple’s escrow would be worth \~$38 trillion — they’d be the richest entity ever created with enormous incentive to sell. 4. Regulatory and geopolitical tailwinds at a civilizational scale. XRP ETFs launched, SEC clarity arrived — that’s a catalyst for a $3–10 price, not $1,000. The jump from here to $1,000 is \~850x. Even the most bullish XRP scenario (replaces SWIFT, global adoption) struggles to justify more than low-to-mid three figures. Bottom line: $1,000 XRP requires a market cap that exceeds global GDP. It’s not a price target — it’s a thought experiment about whether a single crypto asset could become the reserve settlement layer of the entire world economy, with Ripple somehow not being a seller at those levels. Theoretically possible in a science fiction framing, practically implausible within any investable timeframe. If you’re bullish XRP, the realistic high-conviction range to debate is $10–50 (solid adoption, ETF flows, ODL scaling) vs. $100–200 (dominates global FX settlement, becomes quasi-reserve asset). $1,000 requires premises that would restructure the global financial system entirely."

That is a real cost and worth taking seriously. The preferred equity and convertible note structure Strategy uses to fund acquisitions carries yield obligations that do not disappear in a bear market. The counterargument is that the arbitrage only breaks if BTC appreciation persistently underperforms the cost of capital over the holding period. At current treasury size and with the ETF demand floor underneath spot price, that is a structural bet against the asset itself rather than against the financing model. Saylor is essentially long the spread between BTC appreciation and 11% yield. Whether that spread holds is the actual debate. The fools running out thesis assumes the yield stops attracting capital. It has not yet. That may change. But the demand floor point stands independent of whether Saylor's financing model is genius or eventually a cautionary tale.

Mentions:#BTC#ETF

Worth checking the 13F filings before calling it adoption. A big chunk of the ETF inflows was hedge funds running the basis trade, long the ETF and short CME futures, which is yield farming and not conviction. That money left the moment the spread compressed in early 2025, and it'll come and go like that every cycle.

People keep talking about institutions. The institutions that actually matter are governments and things like pension funds. A lot of the legal roadblocks have been removed and continue to be so. I think this will have a positive impact on the price long term, but we haven't seen much so far. Saying institutional adoption is increasing because MSTR and the ETF are popular seems dishonest to me. MSTR is pretty much an ETF like instrument aimed at retail, and I believe a lot of the ETF's are bought by retail as well. Yes, the both make it easier for institutions to buy bitcoin, but I don't think it's helpful to say institutions has bought 845k bitcoin because retail has bought it through MSTR.

Not really. It’s been 5 years and performed awfully. If I had an ETF down after 5 years I’d be complaining, not justify it with “it’s a bear market now”. 5 years should be enough time for a quality asset to appreciate. I know there are examples eg Japan but no one is saying “it’s a bear market”. They are saying it’s a lost multi decade of returns

Bitcoin around $60k has meant very different things in different cycles. In November 2021, BTC fell back toward $60k just days after hitting a then-record high near $69k. That was still basically late-cycle euphoria: [https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-falls-more-than-4-near-60000-2021-11-16/](https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-falls-more-than-4-near-60000-2021-11-16/) In February 2024, BTC returned to $60k during a strong ETF-driven rally. Reuters reported that Bitcoin was up around 42% that month, its biggest monthly gain since late 2020, helped by inflows into newly approved US spot Bitcoin ETFs: [https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-eyes-60000-biggest-monthly-rally-since-late-2020-2024-02-28/](https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-eyes-60000-biggest-monthly-rally-since-late-2020-2024-02-28/) Now, the same \~$60k level is happening after a roughly 50% drawdown from the October 2025 high. Reuters also noted that $60k is close to Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average, around $61,778, making it an important technical support area: [https://www.reuters.com/markets/global-markets-technicals-graphic-2026-06-08/](https://www.reuters.com/markets/global-markets-technicals-graphic-2026-06-08/) There is also a leverage angle. CoinDesk reported that the recent break below $62k triggered more than $1.5B in crypto liquidations in 24 hours, including over $800M in Bitcoin positions: [https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/06/04/bitcoin-drops-below-usd62-000-as-usd1-5-billion-in-crypto-longs-get-wiped-out](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/06/04/bitcoin-drops-below-usd62-000-as-usd1-5-billion-in-crypto-longs-get-wiped-out) So I don’t think the useful question is “was $62k expensive or cheap?” The better question is: What kind of $62k is this? 2021: $62k near euphoria. 2024: $62k during ETF-driven momentum. 2026: $62k after a 50% drawdown, near long-term technical support, after a leverage flush. Same price. Completely different market structure. That does not automatically make it a buy, but it does mean the risk/reward setup is not the same as the last time Bitcoin traded here.

Buying ETH here makes sense if you think onchain dollars and tokenized stuff keep settling on Ethereum. If that keeps growing, $1500 is cheap because ETF holders still do not get staking or onchain yield and spot holders do.

Could be people closing shorts. There were some actual ETF buys today.

Mentions:#ETF

That’s a good point and probably one reason ETH ETFs don’t behave exactly like BTC ETFs. If the product doesn’t capture staking yield, there’s a real opportunity cost for longer-term holders. I still think ETF flows matter for directional demand, but I agree the no-staking structure makes the ETH ETF trade less clean than the BTC one.

Because they need money now, not in 2-3 years. They might need to spend that money, or they might decide to allocate the capital to other investments such as IA.

Newcomers lose so much money, holding tokens just because someone on YT told them to.

[https://zeusln.com/](https://zeusln.com/) Zeus - impressive wallet with many features, can even generate Nostr keys [https://breez.technology](https://breez.technology/) \- Breez - excellent POS for small business owners as well as integrated Bitrefill Note: Breez does also a hybrid liquid/LN wallet called Misty Breez - the sats being on liquid means no need for channels although the payments take a few extra seconds. You'll also can get a free customable LN address. While talking about hybrid wallets, there's also Aqua Wallet although not IMHO as good as Misty Breez. There are also custodial LN wallet but I would honestly avoid using them because you have to trust the wallet operator not to steal your money. Their only advantage is that they are incredibly easy to use, although it might cost you big one day. To keep up to date with spending wallets, visit r/TheLightningNetwork at least once a while and perhaps r/RGB in the future. **Hardware Wallets** (to store larger amounts): [Trezor](https://trezor.io/) \- Easy to use, no matter how new in Bitcoin you're. If you can afford it, opt for Safe 7 (air-gapped) and use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software. [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/) - air gapped, Bitcoin only, has advanced features but a new user will do fine with one of the great tutorials available. [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor). Sadly, this device is not air-gapped. [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better, although a bit more expensive, option. You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous. [Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later. [Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin. There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, making is an expensive hot wallet. The opposite of what you want from a cold wallet. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. The same goes for many other hardware wallets that are too new or filled with too much of unnecessary shitcoin code. Stay away. Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon. Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it. Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin. This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe.

That's why some traders prefer deep in-the-money LEAP calls instead of buying shares outright. The appeal is getting exposure to a potential long-term recovery while committing less capital upfront. And since LEAPS have a longer expiration date, there's more time for a bullish thesis to play out compared to short-dated options. Of course, no strategy is perfect. If the market continues lower, both shares and LEAPS can lose value. But for investors who believe the Nasdaq will be significantly higher over the next couple of years, it's an approach worth understanding. Before making any decision, it's helpful to run different scenarios and see how volatility can affect leveraged ETFs over time. You can use the Leveraged ETF Decay Calculator to test TQQQ, UPRO, SOXL, and other leveraged ETFs under different market conditions and see how the numbers change.

It’s going to do both, but at different times. Spot ETF options will introduce Dealer Gamma loops (GEX) to Bitcoin, which means market makers will be forced to buy dips and sell rallies to remain delta-neutral, dampening daily volatility. However, during option expiration weeks (OPEX), we'll see heavy pinning effects and sudden volatility spikes near maximum pain strikes as institutions rebalance their books. I actually track these institutional flows and GEX levels on a dashboard I built called [AlphaSignal](https://alphasignal.digital/). Seeing the option hedging walls helps you understand why price suddenly stalls at certain levels even with heavy spot buying pressure.

You're asking the right question and your BTC dominance observation is the genuine tell. Current data confirms it's chop, not accumulation: * ETH/BTC at 0.0283 (10-month low) * BTC.D still at 56% — hasn't peaked, no rotation possible * ETH ETFs on a record 17-day outflow streak * BTC ETFs also bleeding (13-day streak, $4.3B out) This is broad risk-off where ETH is the higher-beta loser, not the start of rotation. Real question for you: what's your conviction trigger? Because "Glamsterdam pumps ETH" and "ETF flows flip after Glamsterdam" are very different bets with very different sizing. Knowing which one you're playing changes the trade.

Demand can also continue to crash. Plus it's been a horrific year this year despite all the positive headwinds like increasing regulatory clarity, BlackRock ETF, US Treasury, etc. Bitcoin hasn't acted like the inflation hedge that it was supposed to.

Why is bitcoin up ? **CMC AI** [Bitcoin price today, BTC to USD live price, marketcap and chart | CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) "## TLDRBitcoin is up 3.88% to $63,156.82 in 24h, closely tracking a 3.85% rise in the total crypto market cap, primarily driven by a short squeeze that forced bearish traders to cover positions. 1. \*\*Primary reason:\*\* **A short squeeze amplified the rebound,** with $122.11M in Bitcoin liquidations over 24 hours and negative funding rates indicating crowded bearish bets. 2. \*\*Secondary reasons:\*\* A broad market recovery from oversold conditions, as the entire crypto market rebounded after a brutal selloff that pushed BTC below $60,000 on June 7. 3. \*\*Near-term market outlook:\*\* If BTC holds above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $61,820, it could test resistance at $63,246; a break below risks a retest of the $60,000 support zone. \## Deep Dive### 1. Short Squeeze and Leverage Unwind \*\*Overview:\*\* The rally was intensified by a short squeeze, where rising prices forced traders with bearish leveraged positions to buy back. Bitcoin saw $122.11M in liquidations over 24 hours, a 52.8% increase from the prior day, with a negative average funding rate signaling excessive short-side leverage. \*\*What it means:\*\* The move was fueled by forced buying, not just organic demand, making it prone to volatility if this leveraged fuel is exhausted. \*\*Watch for:\*\* Shifts in the aggregated funding rate toward positive territory, which would indicate reducing squeeze pressure. \### 2. Broad Market Rebound from Oversold Levels \*\*Overview:\*\* Bitcoin's gain mirrored a 3.85% rise in total crypto market cap, indicating a beta-driven recovery. The move follows a severe selloff where BTC dropped below $60,000 for the first time since late 2024, creating oversold conditions that invited buying. \*\*What it means:\*\* The bounce is part of a market-wide relief rally after a steep decline, lacking a single new catalyst. \*\*Watch for:\*\* Sustained volume growth to confirm the rebound's strength beyond short-term covering. \### 3. Near-term Market Outlook \*\*Overview:\*\* The immediate path hinges on key technical levels. Resistance is at the 23.6% Fibonacci level of $63,246. Support is at the 61.8% level of $61,820. A daily close above $63,246 could target the recent swing high near $64,128. However, with the Fear & Greed Index at 15 ("Extreme Fear"), sentiment remains fragile. \*\*What it means:\*\* The market is in a tentative recovery phase, needing to reclaim higher levels to signal a more durable reversal. \*\*Watch for:\*\* Bitcoin's reaction at the $63,246 resistance and whether spot trading volume expands on any further upside. \## Conclusion \*\*Market Outlook: Cautiously Constructive\*\* The bounce is a technical recovery amplified by a derivatives squeeze, but it lacks a fundamental catalyst. For the move to extend, Bitcoin needs to conquer nearby resistance with stronger spot participation. \*\*Key watch:\*\* Can BTC achieve a daily close above $63,246, and will spot ETF flows turn positive to support the next leg?"

You have to take into account the law of diminishing returns: **2013 Peak:** Rose roughly 38 × from 2011 lows. **2017 Peak:** Rose roughly 16 × from 2013 levels. **2021 Peak:** Rose roughly 3 × from 2017 levels. **2025 Peak:** Reached over $126,000, which was less than 2 × the 2021 peak. \[[1](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/04/01/bitcoin-s-old-peaks-aren-t-untouchable-anymore-and-the-days-of-parabolic-rallies-could-be-over)\] With that comes diminished bear market draw downs: **2011 Crash:** Peak-to-trough decline of roughly 91%. **2014 Bear Market:** Value dropped by approximately 85%. **2018 Bear Market:** Peak-to-trough decline of about 84%. **2022 Bear Market:** Corrected by approximately 77%. Right now we’re at about a 56% drawdown at the low of 59k, so to me a correction of 65-70% still seems likely, which would put this bear market low around 38-40k, but its so hard to say what this cycles low will be because of the maturing nature of the asset class, ETF money inflowing and so many corporations with bitcoin in their assets, it seems possible 50k could be the low. Either way we’re close enough to the bottom now that I have no problem increasing my buys, this is a great price to buy whether we are at the bottom or still 20% away won’t matter in 4 years all of these buys will be quite profitable, as has every bitcoin purchase i’ve made.

Why didn't BTC break the 4yr cycle pattern this time around? Seemed like this should've been the time it happened, based on institutional investing, ETF's, etc. If it still happened this time, what's stopping it from happening next time? Much of the same market behavior is still in play. BTC is still volatile, a little less so than in the beginning sure, but it's still volatile.

Mentions:#BTC#ETF

Nobody knows, this could be the bottom or it might collapse to 10k. It’s a gamble that only you can decide. Remember that only LONG term holders win or those that trade the lows and highs. Best of luck. If you can’t stomach volatility I suggest you avoid BTC and go for a more stable ETF STICK

on the SOL ETF divergence: a single week of flows is rounding error against the rotation thesis. smart money or sticky mandate-bound rebalances both fit the same data. not enough to call yet what's more readable in real time imo is whale positioning on the prediction markets themselves. when ETH "70% to deeper leg down" prices, who's actually taking the YES side at that level matters. if it's wallets that have been right on recent crypto moves, that's signal. if it's retail piling on after the fact, noise

Even when the main reason for the current drop is institutional buyers rotating out of BTC ETF? Those are the ones that will gain the most on these biggliest IPO's

Congrats on the move, it's never too late, [despite new people thinking otherwise](https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/rskpuf/i_have_only_600_bitcoinsi_missed_the_bus/). ONLY INVEST MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. Invest in your knowledge, learn about Bitcoin as much as you can. The Bitcoin Standard book is a must read. So is Broken Money by Lyn Alden. Also, **don't reply any DMs**, emails, private messages on other social media, promising to buy Bitcoin from them or get rich quick by investing into some website. They all are scammers. Even the hot Asian chick, he's a scammer too. **Price wise, nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow, next week or at the end of the year.** **Try "Bitcoin ONLY" strategy for at least the first 210,000 block cycle**, you'll sleep much better. Newcomers lose so much money, holding tokens just because someone on YT told them to.

You'll also can get a free customable LN address. While talking about hybrid wallets, there's also Aqua Wallet although not IMHO as good as Misty Breez. There are also custodial LN wallet but I would honestly avoid using them because you have to trust the wallet operator not to steal your money. Their only advantage is that they are incredibly easy to use, although it might cost you big one day.

If you can afford it, opt for Safe 7 (air-gapped) and use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software. [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/) - air gapped, Bitcoin only, has advanced features but a new user will do fine with one of the great tutorials available. [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor). Sadly, this device is not air-gapped. [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better, although a bit more expensive, option. You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous. [Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later. [Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin. There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, making is an expensive hot wallet. The opposite of what you want from a cold wallet. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. The same goes for many other hardware wallets that are too new or filled with too much of unnecessary shitcoin code. Stay away. Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon. Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it. Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin. This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe.

Out of BTC, any crypto may never reach ATH again. ETH is the most likely IMHO, but it may go to zero (it's possible), and so it may any other crypto, with a greater likelihood. TBH, as an investment, a Blockchain-related ETF looks better than any shitcoin, and it is a matter of opinion if Solana or Polygon are shitcoins. Paradoxically, I see more potential resilience in CEX coins (BNB, CRO,…) than in most shitcoins, just like I see more upside in Coinbase than in Solana, Polygon, Dogecoin,… The tech will stay. Incumbent companies will probably stay. Specific implementations (blockchains) and coins,… time will tell.

The foundation at 50-55K is super strong, it is a time to buy, not to sell. The conviction comes from the new ETF´s and the whales have loads of orders down there.

Right, it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The supply reduction from the halving as a percent of the mined supply is quite low now, but people respect the trend. Institutions mostly means “Saylor and people buying ETF’s”, and I’m not sure if that blunts or augments the market, but no matter how you slice it, cycles are evolving but basically intact until further notice.

I personally think ETH is done. I am out of step with many -I know that but I will share my opinion here. I think ETH grew on the back of the fact it had little serious competition. But it is, undeniably, Structurally and Technically full of flaws and those flaws are being increasingly exposed... I mean.. What Network is ETH anyway? Optimism? Polygon? or... take your pick. Each with their own rules, standards and biases. My background is in technology and when I look at ETH it is blatantly technically riddled with issues that make it practically unusable by the vast majority of businesses for serious use cases. And these L2\`s are there as band aids to cover those problems up, BUT THEY DO NOT FIX THEM and that is becoming increasingly problematic. . Yes, yes. I know. ETH has significant Enterprise use, but IMO that is due to community size, brand recognition and frankly many years of relatively poor options. All that has changed and when regulation arrives that is going to become increasingly obvious. It actually sickens me to see the Blackrocks and Fidelities of this world jumping on the band wagon and pumping ETH ETF\`s to the market when such deep flaws are totally apparent to anyone who spends a little time researching. IMO, five years from now neither Blackrock nor Fidelity will be using ETH.... Perhaps I should not be surprised.

If I were just starting out, I’d buy the NCIQ ETF and nothing else. It’s about 70% bitcoin and rest is the biggest alts. But it and never have to think about coins again. Money is divisible, so any time you find yourself asking an “or” question, just do both. Bitcoin or alt coins? Yes.

Interesting perspective. Long-term models like stock-to-flow or Metcalfe’s law are useful for framing potential upside, but they don’t really explain short-term price action. Right now the sell-off seems more tied to liquidity, leverage unwind and macro conditions (rates, ETF flows etc.). Long-term and short-term narratives can both be true, but they don’t always align in timing.

Leveraged ETFs will not 2x your gains on the way back up because of volatility drag. The more volitile the asset, the more drag. As a matter of fact, if you buy and hold a leveraged ETF, you can make less than just buying and holding bitcoin. Leveraged ETFs are for short term directional bets. If I wanted to make a leveraged BTC play (which I don't) I'd buy ASST or MSTR. ASST being further out on the risk curve and higher upside potential.

Ok my question in all of this. People keep talking about the next cycle as if it is inevitable BTC goes up again. In order for that to happen there needs to be an influx of new buyers.

BTC sitting right around $60,750 and the 4-hour RSI is hitting extreme oversold levels at 15.4. Historically, the last time we saw readings this deeply oversold was during the capitulation phases of the FTX crash. While oversold conditions can certainly grind lower and stay extended if the daily ETF net outflows continue ($4.4B out in 13 days), historical data suggests these levels typically precede sharp, violent relief bounces due to shorts getting overcrowded. Key levels to watch right now: $60K acts as the major psychological and technical floor. A clean break below that opens the door straight to the $55K support cluster. On the flip side, any sudden reversal in ETF inflows could trigger a massive short squeeze given the current -22.8% OI drop and negative funding rates. Not financial advice, just watching the technicals and data points closely.

No, that's a good point. An ETF/index is safer because it can mitigate risk much better than picking individual stocks. In the long run, I still think BTC is a better investment but obviously you have to accept the volatility and have a long time horizon.

There's been underlying weakness for awhile now (hence, bear market) and the ETF buying dried up (leaving only Saylor), then ETFs slowly started to unload, then... Saylor made a genius move and took $1.5bn of cash reserves -- which was ear-marked to pay dividends on STRC -- and used it to pay off debt that wasn't due until 2029. When everyone asked, "Uhh... what gives? How are you going to pay your dividends now?" Saylor basically said, "Ehh, we'll just sell our Bitcoin!" That took a weak market that was barely hanging on and threw it off a cliff.

Strategy sold some BTC which conflicts with a lot of people's "never sell" ethos (bizarre imo). Stategy also pays a 11.5% dividend so it's likely they'll need to sell more, and cut the divy. There's been an outflow funds away from crypto ETF's too which may force others to sell. Their shares are also trading at a discount to their Net Asset Value, so it's more effective for buyers to purchase shares than the actual coins themselves.

Mentions:#ETF

IBIT is an IOU. If you can only buy it through a 401k that doesn’t let you buy bitcoin direct, then fine, at least you get price exposure and such. But if you have free standing dollars to invest, you should absolutely buy the bitcoin itself, not an ETF that a custodian may or may not honor in the future. Yea, yea, yea, “What are you, a conspiracy theorist? Of course custodian XYZ is trustworthy, they will honor my database entry that says I’m owed what’s on my IOUs.” This is what everyone who has ever suffered the consequences of counterparty risk has said shortly before the rug is ripped out from under them. Every custodian is trustworthy until they aren’t. Every single custodian that turned out untrustworthy WAS trustworthy when you first bought. This is by definition, you wouldn’t have bought from them if they didn’t originally appear trustworthy.

Definitely. Although truthfully we honestly don’t even know where the bottom really could be, but I do seriously doubt we’re ever going to see $20k. TBH a lot of the downside volatility has been cushioned since IBIT and any other BTC-based ETF’s have been out, although there’s been something like $3B - $4B in outflows from them alone the last 1-2 weeks which is kind of enormous even if it doesn’t sound like much. But yeah, instead of -80% or -90% insane drawdowns, it should (hopefully) mean the bottom is a lot less low compared to previous cycles, we just don’t really have enough data on how cycles have performed **since BTC has been institutionalised.** That’s the real hard part tbh, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see 😂

A “trust me bro” wave? Mate, these are multi-billion dollar companies that: - have real customers - earn real revenue - earn real cash flows - have a genuine serious demand for it with a supply shock happening, hence the boom - NVDA is the biggest company in the entire world. It is the highest weighting in S&P500, BGBL, NASDAQ, SMH, basically every ETF out there. That’s not a “trust me bro” company, that’s a company with genuine demand due to being a high growth tech stock And, It’s not about being biased. I’m actually neutral about everything. I’m just one that follows finance, follows macro, gets to a deeper understanding of *why certain things are moving.* That’s not a “trust me bro” wave, it’s a genuine need for what these tech stocks / ETF’s have for the world. One could argue that crypto is speculative since almost all tokens don’t actually… earn any revenue. That doesn’t mean it’s a “trust me bro” asset class either, it just means it’s different. I’m invested in crypto, semi stocks, ETF’s, basically full diversification. But it’s completely silly to say that something is speculative when we have a semiconductor stock which is that of NVDA that is the biggest company in the literal world.

I see. Thoughts on just holding the ETF for simplicity, for a noob?

No, I have actual BTC too. Just wanted additional exposure to be tax free, so I added some ETF funds.

To fund their BTC ETF Nothing to do with him selling for personal gain

50kish was always my guess too, unless there's some sort of black swan event like Saylor fucking off for good. That's around the range of the original ETF formation. I'm honestly not even too interested at that level either.

ETF outflows? [https://farside.co.uk/btc/](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) Looks like they have incredibly strong hands.

Saylor does not custody his coin, therefore he doesn’t own it (NYKNYC) Conbase does. And who knows what type of shady shit they’re doing with other people’s coin. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if fractional reserving it, just like FTX. And I think these ETF’s are shady players too. Self custody needs to be emphasized waaay more.
