Nossa30

I would not be too worried. You bought at or near the bottom. It might dip a lil, but you bought at a good time IMO. Saying this as a 9 year hodler.

Ch0pin

It's only wrong if you get it right, but you're more likely to get it wrong than to get it right IMO

neksys

I’ve BEEN holding for 10+ years. Got robbed twice (Mt. Gox and Quadriga), made a million mistakes, won and lost on bets and learned a ton since I made my first buy in late 2013. BTC will always be a part of my holdings, but it’s so institutionalized and commodified now that I don’t see it ever becoming the “main currency”. I expect we will see blockchain technology become more and more interwoven in our day to day finances, but IMO there is no plausible path to total fiat replacement in our lifetimes.

PittFanIAm

IMO, financially you should buy/hold. It will pay off long term. However, psychologically, you’re not built for this. If you’re this shaken after this little hiccup, there’s no way that you’ll be able to buy/hold all of the way down and back up. You’re best off saving yourself the stress by getting out now. Note: That is in no way me talking shit on you. There’s probably something wrong with the ones (me) who can keep holding and happily keep buying through 70% dips.

angrySprewell

He's just talking about making an alt with bitcoin code IMO. This is garbage and a distraction.

Bagmasterflash

That is incredibly short sited. Although XMR started with very good privacy other coins have infinite time to develop comparable privacy whereas monero is stunted due to its design limitations. Better luck next time. r/bitcoincashautist, [Jan 13, 2023 at 10:09 AM] Monero achieves great privacy, I give it that, but it has to give up a lot for that, it is a trade-off: - There's no concept of an UTXO, because you can't tell which TXOs are spent and which are not. - Because of that, you can't prune much, and have to keep all TXOs ever made around for forever, and it can't be in some slow archive storage because TXs using ring signatures regularly reference a random pick from ALL historic TXOs so you need those readily accessible. This is the biggest scaling bottleneck IMO. Your blockchain "state" is the whole blockchain, as opposed to Bitcoin where only the UTXO set is the current state. - Wallet scaling, because of key blinding they need to process each TXO and do expensive CPU operations on it to check whether it belongs to them - as opposed to Bitcoin where you only need to do a simple pattern match. - Very limited programmability of (U)TXOs because any spending requires authentication by a key, and for many decentralized applications you can get rid of the keys and have UTXOs be spendable if some other conditions are satisfied. Satoshi gave Bitcoin a scripting system, programs encoded with the UTXOs and executed on spending. This is incompatible with Monero. - Auditability of supply. Breaking a cryptographic primitive used to blind the amounts would allow freely minting amounts without anyone knowing about it. - Long-term it will be broken by quantum computers, not sure whether there are drop-in replacements for all the primitives, and if there are it all gets huge so big impact on scaling. Bitcoin really only needs to do a few things: move from 256-bit to 384-bit hashes and upgrade signature opcodes + some scheme to transition. After '23 P2SH32 upgrade, it will be possible to lock BCH in quantum-proof contracts. Because of all that, I believe there's a natural adoption ceiling, lower than "p2p cash system for the world" win scenario we dream about with Bitcoin Cash. Adoption is hard. Monero has a smaller total addressable market but there it lies its advantage: it's the only player that has a product for those users, it's the best in class. Bitcoin Cash has a bigger total addressable market, but it has to compete against a lot of other coins.

h311s

IMO accumulate bitcoin for wealth use other coins for daily transactions which have faster transaction time & lower fees use XMR for privacy and this doesn't seem to change in the mid-short term yes xmr is very useful no harm holding a few

Robotoverlordv1

The fact that Epstein’s publicist spoke so ill of Sailor is a testament to Sailor’s good character IMO.

MulberryAcceptable39

IMO the crypto market didn’t like trump nomination of Earsh. Reider would have been received better.

CowDogRatGoose

Yea, but if you do that, you are selling your stocks at a low. Shuffling money around isn't the game. IMO. But, Good Luck!

AdFast1121

I don't believe in just one, thats scarcity mindset. But yeah, Warsh is absolutely biased towards things that actually benefit the financial system and aren't speculation only. If the token solves an actual problem and makes things more efficient it is way more likely to survive. ETH absolutely clears this bar IMO

Token_12345

IMO RWA coins and those with full adoption will hang around lomg term but 90% of altcoins are going to zero in the next 2 years. Bitcoin is being pumped by wall street now so it's a tool to make money so it will be useful until it's not and then it will get dumped across the board.

scott_in_ga

IMO the only real support is down below the 2022 lows, before all of the artificial sugar-high COVID spending helicopter money started: [https://www.tradingview.com/x/noeTZHms/](https://www.tradingview.com/x/noeTZHms/)

BardosThodol

If that were to happen mining would become non-profitable but the majority of Bitcoin would have been mined already so it really wouldn’t matter. It’s been going that way anyway as necessary hardware demands exponentially increase the cost. At that point it’d become a reserve and likely used for specific purposes, even now it’s not as often used for normal transactions due to high gas fees. IMO Bitcoin did what was necessary already, which is spark the blockchain and subsequent evolutions/derivatives. Even if it wasn’t the monetary powerhouse it currently is (even at a fraction of its current value it holds more worth per a single unit than most other goods or currencies that exist) it’ll never lose its symbol as the father of the blockchain - that’s honestly why it’ll likely never get that low anyway ignoring the obvious ability to work the global prices easier than, let’s say, the stock exchange, which is always going to make trading/holding Bitcoin attractive to the opulently wealthy. Bitcoin was $20 at some point and was profitable because of abundance and prices of technology. Who’s to say a new processor won’t be out in a couple years that could make mining profitable again? Anything can happen really but very good point.

pnw_cartographer

Eh I would avoid Binance. Shady CEO and depending on the state you live in, you cannot use the app. IMO there are better options out there. Now if you’re try to buy some shit alt coin and need binance coins to convert then that makes sense. But using binance for btc? Nahh dog.

bobbyv137

You’re asking questions nobody has a definitive answer for. IMO it’s going much, much lower yet.

tomsmac

Yeah, I know. Nevertheless, IMO we’re going to see MSTR collapse.

islanda_1973

Eth will survive, tokenization of stocks, metals and RWA will be huge trilions will flow to them from countries where is very difficult to access these investments. But ETH will collect only breadcrumbs the real money will go somewhere else not to crypto. So with ETH inflation it could go a little bit up or down impossible to say but IMO it will not die, it could also flip btc in 10/15 years but it will be very sad

ArrivalEffective2848

Market is all over the place , hard to track IMO

Radiant_Ad4480

IMO we have hit the ALT for BTC this bullrun. Now we wait a couple of years until the bear market bottoms and then reinvest. If you start investing now, you'll see sufficient losses for the next few years IMO. Especially when you see everyone swapping into gold and the American dollar is at a 4 year low... Remember, at the beginning of this Bull run, BTC was under 17k! I'm guessing between 30k-45k next bear market. Unless you're looking to future trade(pulls/puts), but that's highly not recommended until you have a couple years of paper trading under you belt. ChillTrader on X is the person to educate yourself off of. His PnL, win/lose ratio is insane. He is NOT an influencer. He's a REAL trader. Anyone who promotes a coin is an influencer and knows nothing. The more followers, the bigger the influencer, the more money you'll loose because they will only tell you what you want to hear while they secretly dump on their followers, turning them into liquidity.

JohnnyStrides

That's a healthy amount, congrats! Time to get a Trezor (or other hard wallet) and get that off the exchange. You should have done this a while ago but there's no time like the present. You should still accumulate if that's the plan but every $5K or so ship it off the exchange to the wallet IMO.

SophonParticle

IMO it is following the pattern I saw during the dot com bubble where companies created an html website with a splash of JavaScript and got $10M funding to sell keychains. The market is maturing, filtering out losers, consolidation, finding real use cases (see Fidelity using stable coins)

audigex

IMO if you have less than 1BTC it’s not gonna be worth FU money in your lifetime (I also have less than 1BTC, I’m not judging or punching down here, just giving a view)

Aromatic-Ad7987

I dont know about bull run, but traditional business is getting invested in crypto. crypto that has actual utility and regulations are being worked on. when they pass, i expect utility coins to begin vastly outperforming memes. If i was holding memecoins i would start researching different utility coins because thats where the value will be IMO

strodobaggins

Gold ripping while BTC chops isn’t that weird tbh IMO **they’re reacting to different fears**. Gold thrives on macro stress + capital preservation, Bitcoin thrives on liquidity + risk-on cycles; we’re basically in a tug-of-war phase right now. I treat gold as ballast and BTC as asymmetric upside; one preserves purchasing power when things get shaky, the other explodes when conditions flip. Personally I lean barbell: boring hedge on one side, conviction crypto on the other, and wait for liquidity to decide the winner. What about others? Anyone else rebalancing or just sitting tight?

Darkwolfie117

There are independent XRP bankers and coon holding companies, large firms have invested in ETFs, the standing of it during the bear market crypto is in is a positive IMO

Romanizer

If I had numbers, I would post them. The truth is, nobody has reliable figures regarding Bitcoin ownership at this stage. Suggesting there are more than 100 million Bitcoin owners in India alone is hard to believe, IMO. Maybe it is wallets/addresses based on IP, but the link doesn't provide any methodology.

II_Gnome_II

The fact that people threw thousands upon thousands onto a digital image was then and is still crazy now. I get there is a use case for digitally signing with cryptography an original document for property, births/death and marriages but there is nothing special about a monkey smoking outside of a printout. Maybe a use case will appear in years time to prove me wrong but it was a dumb waste of money IMO.

Arbiter_89

Really underrated IMO.

SilverbackViking

Absolutely reasonable IMO, BTC as the only play is just dumb IMO. BTC and ETH should be a majority but definitely not all, 10-20% in alts is definitely not ridiculous.

SilverbackViking

Unless of course you put 5% in and it goes 10x 🤷🤣 In that case I'd let it sit at up to 20-25% before actively reducing, more likely I'd be trying to beef up allocation to shares and property, trying not to rely solely on selling. Long runway for crypto, you don't want to sell too much a decade early IMO 😁

SilverbackViking

Honestly at some point the trade has to play out and reverse. I think one day MicroStrategy will be a cautionary tale, that day is not today! Bitmine makes more sense to me because they can stake and make an income to either purchase more ETH or funds debt. Before the MicroStrategy trade collapses though they will likely get involved in Defi, the market is not evolved or secure enough for that right now, we may be looking at 10+ years before this trade collapses IMO.

SureshAlokam

IMO, Bitcoin will get it's own day -Suresh Alokam

AsbestosDude

IMO the best use cases are things which are already public record. Think things like mineral claims, that and there are some decent credential, verification, and gatekeeping capabilities that are all very promising and fairly practical but yea "IP ownership" is pretty much just a rouse.

TFWG2000

I basically did this two years ago. The BTC has performed well. The hard part is letting the BTC ride and ignoring the hype. Simply Bitcoin and alike sites are click bait hucksters. Smart people on CNBC like Saylor, Lee and Wood have made aggressive predictions... and have been very wrong. So instead of clicking my investment refesh screen every 5 seconds, just like any long-term investment, if I am beating inflation - I am winning. So IMO, you should go for it. GL! Click... now when are we hitting $250,000??? Click... 😎

Squash_Confident

If you're investing 2k a month strictly into crypto and nothing else, then yes IMO. I would diversify that 2k with an S&P500 ETF and metals. Don't forget about emergency savings and retirement funds. Good luck OP.

Candid-Party1613

IMO you’ll be the perfect story of retail getting chopped up due to emotions and fomo.

momoneymojesus

Never smart to put all your eggs in one basket. I’d put at least half into a broad etf/index fund. SP500 is fine. Total stock market (VTI/VTSAX) or entire world (VT) would be better IMO. But your instinct to invest a lot at a young age and to do so consistently regardless of price (dollar cost average) is right on. As a third bucket I would build up an emergency fund of cash so nothing derails your DCA strategy.

chubs66

They're tokenizing the NYSE to allow 24/7 powered by crypto right now. There's huge stuff happening in the space, it just doesn't involve BTC (which, IMO, has done a good job of remaining reliable, but a terrible job of innovating).

KingOfTheQuails

The thing is you don’t know if this is low for either lol. Buy both IMO

SouthernGoal4836

I generally agree but this wasn’t a the sky is palling post it was a well written (IMO) outline of the current state of bitcoin. This year or next I’m sure some banks will roll out custody. Clients being able to transfer from savings to bitcoin and vice versa from their personal accounts. I believe liquidity will flow into bitcoin. But adoption has not significantly increases from what I’ve seen. I’m still adding every paycheck and I don’t intend to stop.

AInception

BTC doesn't have a fix because each address is a transaction with no single account (UTXO), so yes. It's a lot easier with Ethereum's accounts-based model where users can dictate their next transaction type arbitrarily. To patch BTC every user needs to send all their BTC to a novel address type (under a new private key). There isn't enough bandwith to accomplish that in even 5 years, so fees would make it prohibitively expensive for most of the time leading to extreme controversey. No one is rushing to pull that trigger. Satoshi's 2-3M BTC would (hopefully?) not migrate to a new address, plus all the other millions of 'lost' and inactive coins, so it isn't a perfect fix anyway. In theory your private key can be pulled out of your public key. If you've never made an outgoing transaction, then no one has your public key. If you've ever made a transactions then your private key is public information on the ledger. The more outgoing UTXO transactions you've made from 1 address, the more 'clues' you've left behind and the weaker your encryption becomes (with enough clues it can even be cracked traditionally). IBM predicts by 2030 they'll have enough qbits functioning to break SHA256 encryption for the first time. By 2033 they say they'll have their chips running in supercomputers globally and commercially. ECDSA (what private keys are encrypted with) is notably much weaker than SHA256. The threat isn't here yet but it is coming at us fast. The point of using SHA256 as the encryption standard was it would take longer than the heat-death of the universe to traditionally crack, millions or even billions of years wasn't seen as good enough. So that much time brought down to ~5 years is pretty alarming. The time to act was 10 years ago IMO, cryptography thrives out of proactive paranoia.

Buybacks and burns will have positive effects in the long term (4 to 5 years range). The author has not Analyzed such projects IMO. Yes it is true that there may not be sudden price appreciation.

EtikDigital512

Im a maxi myself, but nothing goes linearly up forever lol. This is why I cant just dca forever, I gotta buy when its low and sell when its high, then buy back again. Rinse and repeat. Thats the best way to accumulate bitcoins and maximize your returns IMO. For the life of me, I dont know why people like to roundtrip their gains.

NorthernMIsmoke

IMO one of the most important stats, which you didn’t list, is how many BTC are lost. 2.3-4 million BTC representing 11-19% of total supply is gone forever.

polymath_uk

That trend line is wrong IMO. It will flatten out to about 250k long term.

Tim-Rocket

Last cycle we bottomed at around -33% from 200 WMA, I expect this cycle to, at least, revisit the 200 WMA. (Currently sitting at \~$58K) But, we've got to keep in mind, this time is actually different because of institutional players. But I do not know how this will play out. IMO there's 2 scenarios, on one hand we might not dump as much, because they (institutionals) are in it for a long term. On the other, we'd get a dump as we've never seen before, forget the Germany flash sale, forget FTX. If this happens we'll see what buffet means with "blood on the streets".

YossarianHertzog

I've been doing DCA for some years now and quite frankly I'm glad I dont have to keep hunting these prices. My average price is WAYYYY below anything close to what's going on now. DCA all the way. Start buying a bit today and set a reminder to thank me in 5 years from now. I've tried Binance, Kraken and Omla for buying. Omla by far the easiest IMO.

hey_GM

Financial institutions are quietly accumulating tons of BTC while keeping the price in a mid-range IMO. Once the narrative plays out, a move to 200k easily come. The unique bias here is that institutions controlling a large portion of the supply kind of betrays Bitcoin’s original moat as peer-to-peer money.

ReliantToker

Huge miss by them IMO

Alive_Thought_1039

If you have an easy way to sell metal you can trade more of that cash for metal. It will appreciate quicker than cash and you can convert it back if needed. This is IMO. I feel that yes it’s good to have an emergency cash fund, but no one needs all 6 months of cash IN cash on day one. If I keep some in metals I can sell those weekly for cash as needed.

bbqyak

High 60's. 80k is certain IMO. Lots of liquidity <85k and we've already tapped it once recently. Then they target MSTR's average price of 76k. A panic sale + Wall Street manipulation begins.

Odd-Farm270

A lot of the growth will be sustained by the depreciation of the dollar IMO.

bbqyak

If you look at the liquidity pockets it's much more likely it sweeps ~80k IMO. Not immediately, but over time. There's too much liquidity down there. Could hit the next pocket below at 74-76k if it doesn't bounce from 80.

TherealCarbunc

IMO this was a leverage/stop loss hunt, If im right it will rally through the day for a longer selling wick which would indicate a bullish continuation pattern. I just DCA bi-weekly BTC and then use BTCs movement and volume to swing trade MARA

CapitalIncome845

Bitcoin has to go up before anyone goes farther out on the risk curve. There's no non-gambling reason to be in low cap coins atm, IMO.

Neither_Plan_8387

Exactly. IMO such posts need to be removed as a low effort bs.

Dubb18

There's an investment saying about catching a falling knife. With many in the US not returning to work until Tues and markets not (fully) opening until then, could be more pain on the horizon. Also, US is currently moving aircraft carriers into position near Iran. Trump is reportedly also focused on Canada in addition to Greenland. He's also threatening other neighbors. 2026 can get a lot worse IMO. At some point the markets *should* bounce back to some level, but just realize all the near term risks that can add volatility before tossing your money in.

Sotyka94

BTC was less than a dollar in 2010. It's not even a question IMO. You can stack tens of thousands easily and live off of it after like 2017, never working a day in your life again.

Nrgte

TVL is such an irrelevant metric IMO. It fluctuates with the price..

downtherabbit

On the double spacing: IMO the double spacing never meant that the person who wrote the white paper was from the UK. People in India, Nepal and even Australia learn the same method. To me it has more to do with the schooling the person received rather than their country of origin. A note on Hal Finney: [He himself developed many aspects of Bitcoin itself](https://www.confinity.com/legacies/hal-finney), which is already widely known. He also joined the cypherpunks mailing list in the early 90's and a big part of his interest in the group was anonymity, he operated two remailers within the group to keep peoples e-mails secret. So, given he had this almost 'obsession' with anonymity he is a perfect candidate for Satoshi. Also taking into consideration that it was Hal himself who developed many of the aspects of Bitcoin. Oh and he was the first person to receive Bitcoin in a transaction (probably from himself). He also lived in Temple City for 10 years which is the same place the real life Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto lives (the real guy with the same legal name). Chances are Hal ran across this name at some point if they didn't know eachother already. And his schooling, he went to Arcadia High School. It would be interesting to find out what writing style their English classes taught in the seventies. And it would be more interesting to find out where Hal Finney went to for primary school and what they taught. Then there is [Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto#Dorian_Nakamoto): A Japanese American systems engineer who became a libertarian in the 90's and who didn't trust the government. But who also worked on secret government projects before the 90's. Surely him and Hal knew eachother. My conclusion is that Hal Finney used the guys name after being inspired by him in some way and that he himself created Bitcoin. Also, Adam Back and Len Sassaman most certainly had something to do with the early development of Bitcoin and were in a kind of online friend group with Hal. Len Sassaman is sadly dead now as well, and another possible candidate for Satoshi along with Hal.

TheRealSnyds

IMO it’s not that obvious for most. They see higher prices and think “this item was 30% cheaper 2 years ago… F*** {insert retailer} for caring more about profits than their customers”. But few understand that retailers costs are going up too, and have to raise prices to maintain the same level of profitability. They have to play by the same shit rules of the inflationary system, which is the real root of affordability issue.

Cachemoney23

It is just another asset class under control. Banks are heavily invested (they always were aware of BTC), I tend to agree with the original principles of BTC but it has been compromised through firms/banks. However it would be wise to have some exposure as we do not know where the digital world will end up. IMO

Sad-Dinner-2806

IMO this is bearish af

Appropriate-Talk-735

For short term you can pick another coin for sure. For longer term you expose yourself to too much risks IMO. SOL is my 2nd coin to hold long term.

alwaysmyfault

IMO someone that had that much conviction in BTC to take out a huge loan is the same kind of person who would diamond hand for years and years.

migueliiito

For long term storage, IMO paper wallet is better (simpler, safer) than a hardware wallet. Coinbase vault could also be an option to consider.

mrjune2040

To be fair- ‘high’ stable coin yield (basically anything above 4.5%) carries a not insignificant protocol risk, especially when you are talking about some of the multi-strategy vaults (Morpho/Pendle/Beefy etc). That’s a very different kind of business model and imo- not risk that banks should be exposing to consumers (and it would be illogical for a government to bake in FDIC to that- that’s just asking for future bank bail-outs when banks fail to have risk prevention up to scratch aka 2008). As for a more ‘standard yield’ on stablecoins, ie 1-4% well that’s no different from how banks currently generate yield- ie assets are loaned, interest paid. So that’s fine, but not reinventing the wheel. IMO the real problem with these bills being pushed by the crypto industry is that the industry itself is still not properly regulated. And the crypto firms want it all- to be seen as banks by consumes, without having to be regulated like a bank. And I’m not defending banks here, so much as I’m saying that consumers should trust crypto firms anymore than a bank (and actually less so, because you have no protections)

Romanizer

Exactly. That's why it is morally unacceptable to invest in metals, IMO. Let it stay on the market for the industry that needs it instead of hoarding it and letting it sit uselessly in your vault. Monetary premium hurts the other use cases here. In the end that leads to the industry looking for alternatives, gold for example is gradually replaced by other materials.

xFxD

In addition to what was said in the other comment, the enforcement happens from all the bitcoin nodes around the word. So if someone claimed to have found a block without a match matching the cutoff, the other nodes would reject and ignore it. I really recommend you to read the original bitcoin whitepaper. It's all laid out there in detail, but still very understandable IMO.

Rare_Rich6713

SUI and XMN still looks good though, long term it has a lot of potential IMO.

Centmo

IMO Lynn Alden has been one of the more reasonable and thoughtful voices in the space for a little while now. No idea about the accuracy of her predictions though. I used to listen to Nic Carter but he’s a little over the top and has questionable character.

Anxious_Noise_8805

IMO altcoins are undervalued relative to BTC, but BTC could still go up relative to the US dollar

__redruM

Just the opposite IMO, BTC and ETH are the only safe-ish crypto investments. And you should also be buying stock based ETFs like QQQ, SMH, and VOO.

You should suggest a HYSA or a Money Market account, or even a CD instead of Bitcoin IMO

AD1AD

> Is that already actively being worked on or just a theoretical capability after the next network upgrade? Nobody I know of is building it yet, at least not publicly. > And we also have to consider the size of the anonymity set, since that approach allows having an unlimited number of different pools. That's similar to the issue Zcash and Litecoin have, but multiplied by n. Yes, but that's good. Every different privacy method available on an optional privacy chain is an opportunity for somebody who would have needed to go to a whole different blockchain for a different privacy technique to stay on BCH instead. Shoehorning all of your chain's users to one privacy technique is, IMO, a shortsighted decision. You build network effect quickly, but hurt scalability and add technical debt by baking that privacy method into consensus. Users of mandatory privacy chains are not really any different from the subset of users on an optional privacy chain who chose to use a specific privacy tool.

Seattleman1955

I don't look at it quite like that (but similar) and I come up with $500k by 2035. That's a reasonable value regarding a gold ratio but I'd get there by taking some percentage of the gold store of value use case as well as a smaller percentage of the use cases of bonds, stocks, and real estate. We probably come up with similar numbers though. I also (conservatively) consider that BTC will be "mature" at that point and will just keep up with dollar debasement after that. This is not a scenario that I'm "betting" on. It's just looking into the future with reasonable assumptions for the variables, IMO.

tdogger88

Bitcoin is still trending bearish in sentiment, IMO that’s bullish. The fear and greed index hit extreme fear in November and is just turning neutral. So we can objectively say sentiment is neutral but to me, and your post above, it’s still pretty doom and gloom.

Ryno__C

Binance has some longs to liquidate. $98k was a high not likely to be surpassed just yet. Let’s see if we can close above $97 then $98 and we’ll reassess. HODL off on buying for now (IMO)

OpticallyMosache

If it's a significant amount of money and part of your savings/investing portfolio just swap 75% to BTC & 25% to ETH. Be done with Pulsechsin. If it's more of a gamble, consider one of the following (IMO) USELESS, ASTER, BONK, SPX6900 or DOG (Bitcoin rune or bridged Solona version). I personally went all BTC back in September exvept still hold ASTER.

Acrobatic-Living2372

Even if this post is a shill, the point absolutely stands that crypto is surely a horrible means of passing on inheritance. Why do we ignore this? Wilful blindness? A store of wealth that dies with you is not a very good store of wealth IMO.

HesitantInvestor0

I'm a Bitcoiner and I agree with Danny. Treasury companies offer nothing but additional risk and trust, and are not very attractive to shareholders at this point. Bitcoin is the better option, and if you must have a treasury company in your portfolio, why the hell would you go with some random shit company when you can get similar value with MSTR? Danny's question was entirely relevant, and Saylor's answer was not only irrelevant, but completely rude and ridiculous. He's a total dirtbag IMO.

Maconi

You mean in this specific “cycle”? Never IMO. Those days are gone. I think we just cycle through phase 1-3 going forward. RIP phase 4.

cheeseitmeatbags

It's $150 BTC equivalent per year. Has a few quirks since it's kinda shady and a low budget company out of India and you gotta use certain hardware like a firestick. Only use this website, there are fakes if you google for it. A VPN is highly recommended. It gives you ALL the channels worldwide, movies and streaming. PITA to set up, but worth it IMO. https://apollogroup.tv/

Sin-City-Sinner

Ok yea you’re right but we are only a couple weeks in. I started a year ago and I’ve seen BTC pump from 70k-124k (lucky me!) I took profit right off the very top (again, lucky me!) and IMO it will go to the moon, it’s just a matter of time so just stack and hodl. And yes I’m only in the market a year but that year was dedicated to learning crypto, I spent the last year 7 days a week and anywhere from 8-16hrs a day so I’m not exactly new, but for arguments sake I technically am..

NilNow

It feels more “right” than the obviously coordinated zcash pump. I do personally think there’s a cap on how big Monero can get before too much attention is a bad thing. And the use case IMO works better when it’s a sort of low liquidity / low volume coin that is actually used for payments. That said, it’s always fun to see new all time highs.

The1WhoDares

I have a good amount of ETH & over to BTC’s… I probably should’ve held on. But I couldn’t. Still have all my ETH. Sold 3/4’s of my BTC. IMO… as soon as Trump elects a new FED chair. That individual will make crypto go PARABOLIC due to his policies & quantitative easing. BUT… that ‘parabolic’ upstream will be felt SO F’n hard. Markets will TANKKKK like go lower than they were in the 08 mortgage crisis crash. & THAT will be a little bit scary for EVERYBODY

I have some on CDC App outside my CRO Card & 15% Earn, I’ve also som CRO in Earn on Onchain, plus other coins in Staking on the Exchange. After the FTX debacle I panic bought a Ledger and moved some coins there, which now I wished I hadn’t. I’ve also som other wallets that are single coin holders, but in reality only to get better interest than CDC were offering. Therefore, I’ve multiple places I’m holding my coins, so I’ve diversified the crypto I hold, plus the places I actually hold them. However, like others have mentioned, if there’s not a lot of $Value, then holding on an exchange is fine, but obviously just IMO, and not all exchanges are equal, so it’s important to choose wisely 🙄

IMO this isn’t a bad thing

Price appreciation will become related to adoption and utility IMO. LINK token is, do your research again. I’m not against bitcoin and own some but, I don’t rely solely on price action yet. At one point BTC price action was weak too.

It's funny to see the TA folks asking "Why is the BCH chart so strong????", without having even googled what upgrades its done or what products have recently launched. 3 biggest deals, IMO: Quantumroot post-quantum vaults live on ChipNET https://x.com/bitjson/status/1991507572952842406 Moria MUSD overcollateralized algorithmic stablecoin launches https://www.moria.money/ Loops and functions coming to the CashVM in 2026 LAYLA upgrade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adF_Y7y5eiI

If the coin has good properties, its value should eventually reflect that. Which should mean NGU over a long period of time. IMO XMR may serve as a good store of value. Time will tell.

IMO its ironwallet. using it about 2 and half years no problems at all.

I don't doubt people following enough of the data and making wise decisions based on that might outperform DCA. I actually know a couple people who do this in my local Bitcoin meetups. They are also relatively wealthy, and can afford to 'play' with some portion of their assets. I'm just saying, on the whole, we just don't know. IMO, Bitcoin should currently be considerably higher than it currently is. But, there are a heck of a lot of factors involved, and many of them, we don't know the future charts of them yet to overlay them on the factors we do know about. For example... even a basic question... why cycles? It made some sense when halving were huge, but outside mining, halving is now a blip. Maybe USA elections play a bigger role. But, if we don't know the fundaments at that high-level, we certainly don't know things like that a foreign leader is going to be extracted/arrested or stuff like that.

Well said and IMO good advice, although I would not have made the same statement and personally have a varied view. But sound logic in your statement.

Bitcoin is actually risky more than before. Buying BTC now is buying the top. This is IMO terrible advice. Arent you a typical financial advisor used to fool clients and grab fees/premiums from those who pay ya? Just kidding … 😁
