no harm in diversifying! Especially if you're up big! I love BTC and will always be a BTC maxi but the facts are the marketcap cant 5x at this point w/o the entire worlds GDP skyrocketing. Mint ends 2140! BTC is here to stay and will increase longterm from here as supply and demand will always be there especially as generations grow up with BTC being the GOLD standard! Make your own decisions, but your advisor isn't giving you bad advice! Think of altcoins and things that can be a little riskier but maybe get you bigger gains that you can reinvest into BTC! NFA

bitcoin_islander

Look up the GOLD/BTC or the XAG/BTC chart for yourself that everything against bitcoin goes to 0. Sell silver, buy bitcoin is a no-brainer.

Ok-Brilliant-5498

Tru say but the crazy thing is that if the creator of Bitcoin wud actually cash in their coins they’d almost be the richest person in the world 🌎!!!.. And that whole thing started in 2008 and now it’s worth more than GOLD.  Basically nothing which is sort of what bitcoin is becomes the wealthiest asset in the world, and it’s crazy to think 🧐 

Enough-Now

Sell as you need CASH and hold as you keep GOLD

A. It doesn't store a value, asset backed systems exists that do, and not just GOLD!!!, there's also asset backed bonds and other fully collateralized financial instruments. B. It's a bubble, perpetual growth is a mathmatical impossiblity, if bitcoin is worth 1m USD per coin it's market cap would be 21 Trillion. C. It's only actual value is the price of the transactions on the network, currently $501, 456.6 worth per day, this is a fraction of it's market value.

mskhour1

It’s getting kind of weird. Is BTC hard money? Sure. Does it fix much wrong? Yes. However imagine if someone went there with a huge flag that said GOLD!! It would be kind of weird. End of the day it’s just money

About the BYBIT card, do you guys have plans to expand to more region this year or anytime soon??? I know BYBIT is literally one of my favorites exchange, even as most CEX is banned in my region, BYBIT still consider us..... But how does BYBIT are as well making plans to differentiate itself from it top competitors in the trading market(excluding the option to trade gold, stock etc) And talking about GOLD, why is TRADFI Gold not available to trade 24/7? And honestly when I saw the announcement, I thought we'll be able to trade physical gold through p2p but I get it now(bybit us a digital asset platform, so trading physical gold is near impossible) but are there any plans for physical bar/coins for gold trading through regional p2p and what securities measures are in place to prevent scam if you're planning on physical gold trading? And is they any plans to expand TRADFI to more region as well? Since it's limited. And about the breach from Lazarus in North Korea, is there any ongoing plans to recover the stolen funds? Through maybe tracing each transactions made and is there any new string security measures in place to ensure history doesn't repeat itself? And if there's a security measures, do you like make plans to place a bug bounty to pay ethical hackers for pentesting? Thanks for hosting the AMA My USER ID: 388349801

No way. GOLD will remain unrivaled forever. BTC will eventually be at #2, but its market cap will be half that of GOLD (like $20T vs $40T).

If I was 23 again I would observe AI was added to my competition, ontop of women and immigrants. Easy to see they have to reset the fiat system since it is clearly on a runaway track. Just like pokemon cards, the value of BTC is in the purchaser's eye. In 1991 everyone thought upperdeck baseball / hockey cards were a wise investment. The only thing that was certain throughout human history was GOLD in your hand not that ETF crap. BTC is subject to the new system just as it is subject to fiat today. Your internet access can be restricted, your person can be cut off from fiat exchanges and currently BTC is getting wrapped up into the NWO. So if you do wind up having a bunch of it you will have to be a whore of the "golden age" system in order to use it. The days of trading BTC for hockey bags of cash are gone and the freedom we had is gone with it. So, observe your freedom is being further restricted each year, your competition is increasing with each deployed GPU and issued passport and everyone is getting less competent and less willing to uphold a system that keeps them fed due to rampant fraud and general degeneracy. Your call bud, but if I was 23 again, I'd start reading a bible.

Massive_Branch_2320

Whats interesting is one guy was yelling at me saying the original promise of btc was "insane returns" and me daring to question that thesis by showing the white paper was somehow blasphemous. I mean, sure, at the moment BTC is acting like GOLD did before it acted like a "stable" currency. But BTC never promised anything other than verifiable transactions and ownership of an asset in the digital space // cannot be duped etc. I don't get why its so hard to get that without gaslighting us with tulip lore. Anyway, glad Im on this sub. I cant believe the animosity they have towards people that were able to make big positive change in their life outside a rigged system. How dare we find an alternative! Imagine these folks back in the day encountering the internet? "ITS GOING TO ZERO!"

>Yeah 'these' (gold) asteroids! Wow the irony of you trying to correct me... Your assumption is that every asteroid is gold and not these "coveted" other metals. I gave the OP the benefit of the doubt to assume he was meaning all the possible metals.when they described ' these asteroids'. I guess YOU can read it the other way. So yeah the "the irony of you trying to correct me". You're inserting yourself into a conversation just to redefine the discussion so you can be pissed about something. >A cursory bit of research into industry and the metals required would make it obvious to anyone that bulk gold provides very little industrial benefit. Sure, buddy. Spoken like someone who hasn't done their research. 'most useful metals in industry' or 'rarest metals used in industry' Such searched relate to NOW which INCLUDES FACTOR ON THE CURRENT PRICE OF GOLD. There are many uses where anything but gold is a lesser sub.

Jay314stl

Do this same math-but in GOLD and see what you come up with.

Knerd5

These hypothetical 6102 conversions gloss over the foundational aspect of what happened. Gold was seized because the USD was literally BACKED BY GOLD. At the time in order to print more dollars you literally needed to *have more gold*. The economy was frozen in the great depression because of the limitations of a hard currency and thus extreme measures had to be taken. The USD is not and will never be backed by bitcoin. It will never be backed by anything ever again. Getting a nation wide bitcoin seizure past the Supreme Court will have an insurmountable climb because of this. Understanding the context of 6102 is more important than what 6102 actually did.

You're very welcome! Glad to help! This is the perfect time in your life to start saving for your future! If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self the same thing. Basically, to build an investment portfolio that contains a diverse selection of key investments. Investments that not only look like they are going to rise "to the moon" so to speak, but also some more conservative investments (like index funds that are tied to the performance of the most successful companies), or Bonds that have guaranteed returns, real estate, etc.) to hedge your risk. The best thing about investing in this day and age, is that you don't require a broker like when I was your age. And you can get started with as much or as little money as you can spare. I started day trading just a few years ago on Robinhood, just because it was easy for me. I put at least $100/mo into BTC and others and have recurring purchases set up to automatically execute monthly purchases out of money that gets automatically transferred into my RH investment account so I don't forget. I think you get the idea, you're totally doing the right thing by starting to save for the future now! The only other thing I might have told my younger self, was to buy more gold! Lol. BTC could very well be YOUR GOLD!

Cold-Operation-4974

i want several acres of land and guns and gold bars and a selection of 90s and 2000s automobiles. preferably in a mountainous region within half an hour from a walmart and mcdonalds. what i buy and sell to get there doesnt matter much. i dont really see the point of OWNING shares of Apple over investing in AAPL through a traditional brokerage platform. *(yes i realize that blackrock and fidelity and vanguard get all the voting power to control the corporations and thus control the planet. i never believed BTC was going to change that. i honestly believe BTC was made by the CIA to buy the USA another century of hegemony and give the secret banking families that control the planet more time to take over the world's supply of GOLD because there will be less upward pressure on the price of gold due to all the demand that will shift to BTC. banks have been and will continue to take over the world and governments will continue to do whatever it is banks want as has been the case for the past 500 years. i dont think this ends until jesus comes out of the sky to defeat his enemies. am i crazy. sure. i also bought BTC at $7k and i'd like to learn more about this cold storage thing. but its a bit confusing.)* the same thing goes for gold and bitcoin... though i could see a future where i might want to keep a portion or all of my gold holdings in physical coins buried in the woods... i cannot see a situation where i need to do the same with bitcoin in other words. i see a .0001% chance of a zombie/nuclear/weimar/electromagnetic disaster bringing us to a world where guns and bullets and gold coins reign supreme. it would be very convenient to be holding a box full of gold coins and not GLD shares that are entirely gone. poof. i see a 0% chance of my bitcoin or stocks being useful in that scenario. if the US stock market goes to ZERO... its because there are aliens blasting us with lasers and bioweapons and the only safe places to live are in caves... so BTC in a cold wallet is as useless as BTC on the coinbase platform or BTC in a fidelity ETF.

Stackertotherafters

I was all in on bitcoin, got in mid 2017. Now, I see that having some bitcoin is fine but the true system outside the system is GOLD. I’m happy to answer questions to dig deeper if you would like but I am more convinced than ever that bitcoin is the distraction to take the attention away from what is happening with gold. The fiat system is broken by design, and rapidly devolving into worldwide hyperinflation. A new system must be implemented. But, gold is THE item to carry wealth through time. Bitcoin will exist, sure. But it isn’t the end all be all like many believe.

Narrow-Ad6797

When you say things like this it's insinuated the dollar will not collapse. If that's your point we might hit 7.18 billion ZWL(the hyper inflated zimbabwe dollar) within a year. Assuming the USD stays not collapsed, 50m per coin would mean a market cap of 1.05 QUADRILLION dollars, a little under 3X the entire world's real estate market. Or 67.6X bigger than the market cap of GOLD. No way Jose. No way.

Django_McFly

Plenty of easy money to make in crypto. Some random shitcoin is going up 100%+ everyday. Within the last two year you could have bought $16k BTC. $900 ETH, $10 SOL. BTC is $100k+ today. ETH is $2300 and SOL is like $150. If you couldn't make any money off of that, I don't know what to tell you stop. Actually I do: STOP PICKING ULTIMATE DOG CRAP THEN BLAMING THE MARKET BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN'T ALCHEMICALLY TRANSMUTE SHIT INTO GOLD. > Bitcoin breaking 100k didn’t give us the Altcoin season we were expecting Ultimate dog shit tokens always die. Always have. Always will. If you think there was no alt season, it just means you picked this cycle's BCH or NANO. You thought AVAX in 2025 would rise from the ashes like ETH in 2021. Unfortunately it turned out to be EOS in 2021 where it showed the world it would never be relevant.

Smooth-Negotiation15

I’m not investing primarily to get rich. I’m stashing money in BTC to escape the inflation and devaluation of fiat currency. Because of endless printing of cash, naturally GOLD & BTC will rise over time. If I get rich, awesome. If I don’t I’ll still be in a better position long term vs being in all cash

Knownblock8

They could ban us from buying more since they program it they could track an monitor every thing don’t comply u get cut sounds like the beast system. No cash want silver nope gold nope bitcoin Nope ! They own you. Maybe not at first but it’s still fiat so no matter what it’s the same system except with out cash. But with cash if I want I can buy silver hide it and who knows if I have it or not. By btc freely. Rn is the time to buy assets BITCOIN GOLD SILVER ACRES OF FARMLAND or don’t and own nothing and be happy

Ayyy very nice! Check out PLAT/GOLD chart. Plat is so undervalued and will play catch up

dpd11

Suggest you look into rare metals exposure too. Gold, Silver, platinum, palladium are all coming off of range lows compared to SPX (GOLD/SPX chart for example). They should be outperforming SPX especially if 10Y yields keeps rising. We seem to be in a period where commodities will be marked up, hence outperforming the SPX Just a thought…do some chart analysis and see for yourself.

Rent_South

I personally think the US ETFs and the institutional interest has changed the game completely. Just how it changed the game of GOLD when they were created. From that point on, the downwards volatility had been massively reduced.

benditbackwards

excellent analysis, we actually should be comparing Bitcoin to GOLD to determine if we are at an ATH compared to gold, and for that we have a ways to go. But all in all ATH really doesn't mean much these days, when you are comparing the hardest asset known to man. Eventually its going to ATH everything else.

I've now invested $A100k in Bitcoin.... planning to just set and forget. I'm hearing now it's soon to crash. Looks like an invest High Risk as unlike property and eg GOLD Bitcoin is not just a set and forget investment. I think I'll sell it now as it looks more a worry.....or reduce it to $A50K

Quite simply because they do what they want with their money. They may have secured, bought GOLD or others. The key is to continue buying when it drops. At least that's what I did.

tobypassquarant

See, it has to have independent value that is transferred cross border and not tied to any country. CBDC's won't work because its still essentially transferring US dollars or Euros etc. You want something that transfers like GOLD, independent of an country's central bank and economy but still has value everywhere you go. It's always telling when governments do something - they never rush to do anything but somehow a lot of them are rushing to hold BTC as part of their reserves in such a short time span? Further, this is a global effect, not only in the USA. Why? Who's advising them? Why do they need it and why is it so important to do this with HASTE when nothing else they do is quick? Politicians are useless unless THEY want something done. On top of this, other issues seem more pressing but they're conveniently being ignored in favor of this. What's the goal? Answering these questions will lead you to a similar idea. Something is happening, and it's never good for the average person. Securing the facilities are easy, it's been done before. Just look at where Blackrock's data centers are... Energy constraints are a non-issue; as our civilization grows and advances, our scientists will continue to develop ways to harness more energy.

BeginningTower2486

So.... nation states are now buying the tulips. Fuckin useless tulips that don't do anything. This doesn't end well. Yes, BTC is up. and it will be up for a long time, but it's not "forever". It lacks utility and real value. We'd be better off holding... get this, GOLD! I know, I know. The gold bugs are insufferable, and they're wrong... but when you think about it at a NATIONAL scale, you know they're right. At that point, it's obvious. Just hold... anything else.

For the early responders that seem confused by the analogy. Yes you can break gold into ounces and grams ect and yes BTC into satoshi ( 100 million per BTC). We all know that. I was comparing pound of Gold compared to BTC. Before you get more complicated over a pound and a Troy Pound.. I was referring to a 16 ounce pound not a 12 ounce Troy pound. Depending how you look at it in comparison it takes about 2 pounds of GOLD at current valuations to equal one BTC… and this still makes it significantly more rare than gold. As of April 30, 2025, the spot price of gold is approximately $3,313.61 per troy ounce . Using this figure, we can calculate the price per pound in both standard (avoirdupois) and troy measurements: 💰 Gold Price Per Pound (as of April 30, 2025) • Standard 16-ounce pound (avoirdupois): $3,313.61 × 16 = $53,017.76 • Troy pound (12 troy ounces): $3,313.61 × 12 = $39,763.32 Gold is typically measured in troy ounces, so the troy pound is more commonly used in the precious metals market.

"If you took that history away, (gold is) just a shiny rock. The dollar is just an ornately designed piece of paper. bitcoin is just some really fancy hash code." Perhaps without even realizing the logic error, you have created a false equivalence between these three items, because you are NOT the US Federal Reserve. Now lets pretend that you ARE the Federal Reserve, and you want more free stuff, because what corrupt government agency doesn't want more money for nothing, and your chicks for free ? And to start your free stuff collection, you decide to make more of each of these three items Gold. Well, its a metal, but its also RARE and indestructible, and you already have a Smaug-level hoard at Ft Knox, but why not get some more ? So, what would you have to do, to find some gold that isn't owned by someone else (obviously you could print more dollars and buy gold with free dollars, but that doesn't MAKE any gold, it just redistributes the existing gold, and drives inflation through the roof) ? You would have to MINE it, from the EARTH, like they did back in the day. And this requires WORK, like REAL WORK, hard, good work, and ain't no lazy-ass banker going to do that, so lets move on. Dollars. Well, here you are in luck, because you don't need a printing press (the Treasury physically controls these, and you can't get one), all you need is your handy, dandy Fed computer, and you press the T key, and another Trillion dollars just pops into your account, easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy ! And then you just take your free  Trillion dollars to ye olde bond market, and you can set that interest rate for money wherever you want, by just buying longer dated (10-30 years) bonds with all your freshly (digitally) printed money. As you might remember, from the pandemic Money-Print-Insanity, when the Fed buys bonds, the price goes up, and the yield on the bonds goes down, thus you can make mortgages have a comically low cost, like 3 % interest low, you know, for the Boomers that want a third house to rent out to the peasants like us, by just printing and spending free money. You can also bail out any corporation, or broke pension fund, or anything, really, its the Midas touch, but for reals here ! But this has a cost, not to the Fed, of course, but to normal Americans, and anyone else holding those fast-inflating dollars, as the number you need to buy any real thing goes up and up, from that raging inflation, that we all know and loathe ! Bitcoin. Well, its just a hash code, but how do you actually MAKE more of that sweet swEET Bitcoin hash code, that YOU actually control the private keys ? Well, actually, you have to work, digitally, I mean. To mine bitcoin, it can only be done by guessing a random hash code before any other miners, that are also trying to guess it, and getting that 10 minute block reward, and how do you guess that hash code ? You run your custom mining computers, that you have to buy, hot, and fast, burning up that REAL electricity, that you have to produce, with some power plants. But even if you use your FREE DOLLARS, to buy those computers, and power plants, there is still a built-in limit, that gold does NOT have, in that you could have thousands of GOLD mines around the world, and look for some Golden Asteroids, if Elon is down for it, but new Bitcoins only come out once every 10 minutes, and only a limited amount of them. This is how Bitcoin is better than both gold and dollars, in that its HARDER to make than either, but especially dollars, and thus, your value stored in Bitcoin cannot be stolen by the Fed, or the Treasury, or anything the corrupt human mind can come up with, and this is important, to not getting your purchasing power inflated away, like you do with dollars.

soooo true! There is soooooo MUCH GOLD on earth its crazy!

theycallmekimpembe

Likely never. They are smart people, they have been rich for a while, if they wanted to get in, they could of already done it. Just because the word digital gold is thrown around doesn’t actually make it GOLD. The gold market completely outshines the crypto market by far, and that’s because gold has a long lasting history of value, for Bitcoin to reach that point, not even your grand children would still be alive time wise 😂

JohnBITbigcoin

wBTC is fully usable as a currency , Bitcoin is on the lightning network & many other cryptos are being used daily by people like me I have not speng cash in years I put on a smart contract gaining 30-15000% annual & speed it on a couple key crypto credit cards , Please be informed when responding as this js a 13 year love affair for me so I can debate dverything with fact not fiction!! GOLD is harder to use than 99% of crypto and the oldest store of value so please argue that in comparison !!

Reminder to NOOBs that BTC behaves completely different than other classes. BTC zig zags from ~0.5 to ~0.75 correlation to the S&P and NASDAQ to spiking to negative correlation every few months which is oftentimes when it makes its biggest moves up or down. - July 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC tanks. - January 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC pumps big. - October 2023.

> The imbecile mindset... to buy more eth I wholeheartedly agree with this take - ETH is an non-performing asset mid/long term. If dummies want to make LESS money taking MORE risk, than ETH is an excellent choice - If you want to earn more than ETH at ZERO risk, then you can stake FIAT which guarantee ~5% returns. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame with relatively large marketcaps* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21.19% | QQQ | 16% | GOLD | 11.3% | SPY | 10.8% | ETH | 1.21%

I am not saying gold is not going to outperform but I wouldn't bet on gold. Gold has artificial scarcity. Gold production tends to increase to meet demand/price. - After gold peak in ~1980, Gold prices were down for over 20+ years. - After gold peak again in ~2011, gold again was down for 7-8 years. You're buying gold now, there is a good chance you are buying at or near the peak again. It takes time investment, mining, infrastructure to be put in place to meet demand/price and after that gold prices staganate for years. Still, since BTC became a large cap with over $250 Billion marketcap in 2017/18, it still has outperformed gold by a lot over a ~7 year time frame. - Comparing 2017/18 ATHs of BTC and ETH over a ~7 year time period which is a good reference point because the S&P 500 doubles every 7 years providing an annual return of ~10%. - BTC outperforms S&P 500 and Gold - ETH is absolute dogshit performance with 1.5% annualized return lagging even U.S Treasuries - Alts. XRP was the only other large cap Alt that reached $100 Billion marketcap, and it's returns a negative annual return over long time frames. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21% | QQQ | 15% | GOLD | 11% | SPY | 10% | ETH | 1.5% | XRP | -9%

> The point is that there is no incentive for financial institutions not to rather create their own blockchain being openly centralized. They've been free to do so for a decade plus, XRP's tech is open source. Yet they arent doing that/ havnt because its not a simple solution and doesnt actually solve the problem Your asking Citigroup to trust BoA to trust wells Fargo to trust HSBC to trust JPMchase... the list goes on and on and one. You cant connect walled gardens without a neutral bridge asset that everyone agrees on, and since none of them trust each other, the network you're fantasizing about doesnt get created. > Not like XRP which is mushy centralized. the fuck is MUSHY centralized.? >Instant SEPA covers 36 countries. And yet it doesnt cover RWA in those countries or any countries outside of it so of what use is it? Notice how I keep giving you the basic example and you're unable to complete it? >. There’s no technical reasons it couldn’t cover all currencies using EUR as transfer currency. that would require them to setup a new corridor in every currency, then pile nostro/vostro capital into those currencies. Then double the problem for each RWA people might want to transfer/trade.... There has to be a buyer in order to sell, and if you have no volume the transaction doesnt exist. >. The decision not to make SEPA global has exactly same issues as XRP has. Name them. >Still. It covers 36 countries and XRP covers 0. XRP has more currency pairs than BTC/ETH combined atm, plus it has RWAs live on chain... I can litterally buy GOLD, STOCKS, BONDS, REALESATE on the XRPL right now, hell I can sell any of them for any currency atm. Just because youre ignorant doesnt mean you get to claim it covers "0" lol >lol as much as you want, but XRP is dead horse for the reasons I have explained. You make claims but you dont provide evidence for them and you cant answer basic follow up questions... lol >Your discussion style calling the opponent stupid and constantly lolling tells a lot about your intelligence. It devolves into calling you stupid when you dont fufill a burden of proof one single time.

Shitcoiners like you like to use copium math by cherry picking a time when an asset -95% to the lowest value to show it performs great. See ETH, XRP, ADA and all the shitcoins that are still at 2017/18 prices or lower. Or when a shitcoin have little to no value and was a small marketcap. **Investors that make money like to hold assets that consistently appreciate over the long term so we look at ATHs.** - Comparing 2017/18 ATHs of BTC and ETH over a ~7 year time period which is a good reference point because the S&P 500 doubles every 7 years providing an annual return of ~10%. - BTC outperforms S&P 500 and Gold - ETH is absolute dogshit performance with 3.24% annualized return lagging even U.S Treasuries - Scams like ADA, XRP actually result in losses over long time horizons **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21% | QQQ | 15% | GOLD | 11% | SPY | 10% | ETH | 1% | ADA | -9% | XRP | -11%

BITCOIN is GOLD For now. But it's early days. What will Bitcoin look like 20-30 years from now? Bitcoin's finite supply coupled with halving miner rewards every 4 years will be a trainwreck eventually. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256, 1/512, 1/1024...

Digital GOLD 🤩

Overall, since 2010, It topped off at $1800-1900 around 2011 and, after dipping for YEARS, took nearly a whole decade just to get back in that neighborhood again. It's only been the last couple years that it's actually started performing the way it should've been that entire time as an asset. The reason for all of that is the paper gold on portfolios, uncertainty of the actual supply, and the fact that all makes it so easy to manipulate price wise. Do I prefer physical gold? Absolutely, if I were going to own it, but the sad part is that the paper gold and manipulation to the quoted supply/price hurts gold regardless of whether you own it just on a portfolio or physically. I think it's also been manipulated even more recently by the banks just to stay higher than Bitcoin, so, for all of those reasons... I DON'T TRUST GOLD ANYMORE. With Bitcoin and Real Estate, I see no reason to have gold. It's the inferior asset of those 3, in my opinion. If you own all 3 is that a bad thing? Nahh of course not, but you better own Bitcoin and/or real estate first if you're smart.

two reasons, GOLD is at all time highs and preforming so BTC is holding fast with gold. if gold was to fall back too $2,500 I think you would see BTC fall under 60k. second reason is QE is about to launch and we're in a rate cutting cycle now where BTC must increase against M2 money supply. If the FED was still in a rate lifting cycle then BTC would be falling alot harder into the 70k or lower regions. There is mainly just not enough supply right now for the multiple large players on wall street like Blackrock and micro strategy also they passed new regulation allowing banks to hold spot BTC so JP, Morgan Stanly, HSBC, and other European banks are looking to the OTC markets right now to get their slice of the pie. Yes they want to crash the price of BTC so they can load up take custody off Retail and price is going to push up when OTC supply dries out and they have to buy off exchanges. that will likely come over the next few years. in the short term we have to get through this stock market correction and also a USA recession, I don't know how long the recession will last because they really need to increase wages for people in this adjusted Inflationary environment, only way to do that is to drop business loans back under 4% so business can borrow more money and pay employees higher wages. couple unknowns are the AI offset of jobs how many jobs will be lost vs new people being employed.... 2026 could be an interesting year but I think before EOY this year BTC is likely to Bottom out my pick would be July it bottoms, it might slip more depending on economic recession data later around September so will see, I am however thinking of taking my first DCA trade into IBIT in early July then Taking a secondary DCA trade into IBIT in September, I will then take a 3rd either around late November or January to February in 2026 after economic assessment. BTC has one direction over the next 5 years which is up. but in the short term right now it's likely to fall lower. if your at a loss right now check back on BTC mid 2026, and plan to buy in September this year to lower your average.

Crazy right? A research paper in 1995 said that by 2050, at least one stock listed on the NYSE could overtake the GOLD market cap. And to think that Bitcoin may end up doing that far before any stock. And..and.. Bitcoin did not even exist in 1995.
