If getting a BJ in office as the most powerful person on earth is the serious problem, install that problem to every country, because right now is total meltdown chaos into fascism... and I am NOT here for it.
Are you expecting a sign? This has been a good dip...15%. Did you want more? 25%? 50%? 75%? What would be your signal? At what point would you NOT think it could go down more? Buy when you're ready to hold the world's hardest money because you understand that all other alternatives are, indeed, inferior forms of money. Until then, take an astrology class.
This is straight BS and really irritating 😠. Bitcoin IS the crypto used by the majority people for Any illegal activity. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND QUIT WITH THE FUD! getmonero.com is the official place to start with your XMR education. Could recommend wallets and exchanges, but the best path is Your Own Research and Conclusions! Financial PRIVACY IS NOT ILLEGAL OR WRONG!!!
This is pretty much it. DO NOT follow these paid shill losers.
Recommendations for home mining? Well first thing is to realize that, barring some special circumstances, it is absolutely NOT a reliable way to turn a profit. If your consideration is purely economic it will almost always be more profitable for an avg person to just buy BTC and hold it vs. spending that money on miners and power. You’ll have almost **zero** chance of hitting a block solo, and if you pool mine your power and hardware costs will almost certainly exceed your profit. So start there. If you then still want to try home mining just as a hobby/lottery pursuit or to support the network then I’d say go with either a bitaxe gamma or an Avalon nano s3. Plenty of YouTube vids on each of you want to learn more about them and home mining in general.
Or they're democrats: "You'll have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." They do NOT represent our best interest in any way.

Post is by: hduynam99 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/HodlyCrypto/comments/1n5w77y/cardano_best_day_to_trade/ I ran my **best trade day algorithm** on Cardano historical prices (since April 2018 ). Best Day to Buy: Thursday (green): (-0.21%) - ADA is usually .21% under the trend -> better for buying. Best Day to Sell: Saturday (red): (0.64%) - ADA is usually 0.64% above the trend -> better for selling. The **% values in the chart** show the **average price deviation from the short term trend** for each weekday. ***\*\*\* How the algorithm works \*\*\*:*** 1. Find the short term trend: - calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a set window (e.g., 7 days) 2. Measure deviation from the trend: - For each day, it compares the actual price to the SMA to find how far above or below it is. 3. Group by weekday: - groups those daily deviations by weekday (Mon, Tue, …) 4. Average the results: - find the average deviation for each weekday. The algorithm identifies **systematic weekday effects** by measuring how far price sits **above/below** its short term trend and averaging that deviation by weekday; the **lowest** mean is your typical discount (buy day), the **highest** is your typical premium (sell day). p.s: I dca in during low risk on Thursday and dca out during high risk on Saturday Not financial advice just data speaking. DO NOT YOLO ON ANY DAY  *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I see someone already responded, but just to reiterate, XRP is NOT being integrated into the SWIFT banking system. That is Chainlink (LINK). But this is a huge example of the problem people have with XRP. By far the most upvoted/popular posts regarding crypto that I see on social media are outright lies being spread to pump XRP. "XRP to acquire SWIFT!" (Not even possible, SWIFT is a consortium). "Brad is on the Trump crypto council!" (Not true). Just the other day, the US Department of Commerce announced they are using Chainlink, and to a lesser extent, Pyth, integrated with 10 other chains (none of them the XRPL). But XRP bros were saying things like, "This is just because the US Government is going to use XRP!" Um, what? 😂
If you’re not a fully grown, mentally developed adult, with control of your emotions, crypto is NOT the place for you. Sorry Bubb. Maybe the next chance to make millions will be more kid friendly.
I arguably informed people about how NOT to spend their bitcoin.
Paying back low interest rate loans is NOT the right reason. There are many right reasons to sell bitcoin, stuff that makes you happy. Paying off a mortgage is not one of them. If you have the funds, you might as well keep them in bitcoin, that way, you are able to pay off any time, but you are also able to purchase other things that make you happy. Putting your financial liquidity in bricks is not often the best call.
YANGMI YOU ARE NOT GONNA MAKE IT Because you don’t have WLFI Picking up my new Audemar Piguet tonight 🦅☝️
Read up on “the 4-year crypto cycle” and “the Bitcoin Halving Event”…. And also look at the All-Time chart of Bitcoin. This will make you even MORE confident in it. Also… VERY smart to just tip your toes in (with where we are at in the cycle). Keep that chunk and DCA (like you said). If (and when) Bitcoin DUMPS after this cycle… THAT is when you really start buying. Then, be prepared to HOLD IT for at least 4-5 years. Do NOT get scared of the volatility, because it does not matter in the long run!!
Stop putting the rest in other cryptos. Don’t be an idiot. You can’t serve two masters. If you’re just in this to get more fiat currency then you don’t get it, and if you really are trying to maximize your BTC holdings then the crypto side investments are holding you back. “Crypto” is NOT SCARCE. There is no good value proposition for the broad category known as “crypto.” ONLY BITCOIN! Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Anyone saying “diversify” isn’t saying diversify into higher risk (like shitcoins), they’re saying a bitcoin is the risky one, so diversify into stocks and bonds and RE, which are unlikely to have outsized returns from the law of large numbers given their relative market caps. Do NOT diversify into bullshit like shitcoins in hopes of beating the hardest money the world has available to it.
A car that expensive (20 months living) will NOT make you happy and only boost your ego short term vs wise investing. I would be happy to give you some advice if I knew more or get you into a rental situation that would be much more cost effective. I don’t need your bitcoin just a fortunate guy who would be happy to help if you want it
Decide to go on one vacation a year… I didn’t go on one until I was 32…. DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE. It will recharge you and inspire you to go even harder. It’s counter intuitive but I think if id started going on vacation once a year much earlier I think I would have worked even harder.
Bitcoin cycle is NOT broken OMG😂😂
The average bag size is about $900. The community has actively chased away all the whales. They were there at numerous times through-out the last 18 months. They're all now gone and anyone with a half a brain will NOT invest a more substantial amount in Kendu if they do t minutes of due diligence. They would have to 17X their holder count just to get back to ATH (with the current small average bag size). All the "consolidation to small fish" celebrations are lack perspective. Without some whale conviction, you'll never reach to billions every meme coin dreams of. That fat alcoholic that ran this project was vigorously defended by the community for over a year. He did damage that cannot be reversed. It's over.
If you believe that Bitcoin will continue to rise in value over the long term then it is wise to continue buying. If you want to maximize profit it is wise to buy when you can get the most BTC per dollar spent. If you don't know for certain whether btc will go down from where it is at now, but you do believe it will rise over the long term, it is wise (and mathematically sensible) to believe that it is more likely to go up from here than down from here. If you believe that it will go up from here then it is wisest and most profitable to buy all you can right now. DCA is a strategy to minimize the effect of price fluctuations. It is a strategy to use for an asset with slow, small long term value increases alongside short term price fluctuations. It is NOT a strategy to employ when you believe that an asset has a lot of potential value increase on the horizon and a slow cycle of large price fluctuations. That is why I do not use the DCA strategy for BTC. I buy as much as I can as soon as I can, and when the price trends downward I try to free up as much as I can to make those purchases at a discount.
you don't seem to get it. the fiat you're spending could be used to buy bitcoin, too! now you're spending bitcoin and do NOT have less than when spending fiat
Crypto.com is NOT an exchange! Don't blame companies for your lack of research... Is it borderline predatory? Maybe, but not more than many other banks and all credit companies. No trade is made without your consent and without showing you the before and after values for you to confirm. Crypto.com has a broker, an exchange and a DeFi wallet apps. Use the one right for your needs. Is it unnecessarily overly complicated? Oh yeah.. It is... Is it "shady" as you call it? No... Not that.... They have other practices that could be called shady, but they show you everything you need to know before any in-app transaction.
That's not even the app I'm using. I purposely didn't mention the app I use because I didn't want anyone to think that I'm trying to push anything. That's not even my account, dude. And again, I'm NOT EVEN SELLING ANYTHING, so how could I be scamming if I'm not selling or promoting anything? I just made this post cause I wanted to see if anyone else had ever cloud minded before.
Total crypto market cap is only like 10% away from ATH. Do NOT panic.
First, that's a strawman, I never said anything about average people doing it, I said average people trust what some youtubers say rick people do without actually doing the math. No, rich people do not borrow to make a living off the borrowed money. They instead borrow to leverage, to do other investments, or maybe occasionally for some one off splurge, which then then recover/amortize over a period. But NOT for living expenses on and on forever. E.g., many rich people have mortgages on property, because they have uses for the money that yield more than the interest cost. Or because the property then generates income higher than the interest cost. Same with margin on stocks. This is just leveraged investing.
Great to see another stacker joining the forces. If you feel like it, read/bookmark this guide and make sure to learn along your journey. 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 book. Get them and READ them both, please. 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.

If you don't like losing money in [failed coins](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-failed), avoid. Going DCA is probably the best approach, IMHO. Bitcoin to me, is a savings account. If I have some spare cash, I exchange it for sats. Once a week works best for me, but I'm getting paid weekly. If there's a 10% drop in the price since my last buy, I usually double my buy. This [DCA calculator](https://dca.bitnob.com/) might help to decide what will work best for you. In a few years, even $10 dollars a month can make a massive difference. This [DCA blog](https://er-bybitcoin.com/) is pretty interesting too and compares buying bitcoin VS stocks.

**TL;DR - I think the info posted in the screenshots is simply used to optimize user experience. Explanation below.** Here's a bit of signal. I was head of support for a mobile application that was similar to Coingecko or Coinmarketcap. Some of the data we showed to our users was hosted on a CDN that conflicted with our users' ISPs. Unrefined example: If we post a picture to AWS that your ISP in, say, Iran or Cuba doesn't like, then it could be because an ISP in these two countries doesn't work with AWS. **However, there were a few situations where ordinary ISPs in the UK wouldn't load content from our cloud storage provider in Poland.** Weird right? When I was working at that company (entirely unrelated to trust wallet, I might add), I do not remember seeing any kind of dashboard that would take the information seen in either screenshot that OP posted. However, when users emailed us from their devices, an attachment would be made that gave us data that told us what device the user had, operating system, version of our application, etc. **Further, we only had access to this information if the user emailed us with the data I just mentioned and didn't delete any of it. This information could NOT be harvested at scale by us the way binance is doing it.**
Do NOT trust anybody ! specially in your DMs ; )
Laughable that my “DCA and hold” strategy comment is getting downvoted. 🤣🤣 it takes ZERO skill to NOT try to time the market. It just takes a belief in the asset and willpower.
This is true but is NOT what this sub will tell you most of the time😂😂
Actually any string in any language can be a seed in BIP39 seed mnemonic, but a well formed mnemonic consists only of words in the wordlist used and part of the last word is a checksum of the original seed entropy. Each BIP39 wordlist (yes there is multiple, and more are allowed) consists of exactly 2048 words, and each word in a well formed BIP39 seed mnemonic comes from 11 bits of data. The above is to allow the use of different wordlist (language or what not). Even if a wallet software or device does not recognise the words it can still recover the wallet seed, but not verify the seed mnempnic checksum. But using a non-standard seed mnemonic is NOT recommended. And neither is using a non-english wordlist for the mnemonic. To guarantee that the mnenpnic will be accepted and recovered by future device or software stick to a well former BIP39 seed mnemonic with. 12 or 24 words using the default English wordlist.
No, i said enjoy life, he is young, try to enjoy while you are young. Just like you did. I am not telling him NOT to invest, just don't try to chase wealth 100% of the time while you are young. You said it yourself, you enjoyed your youth, so much that you are playing catch up. If he forget to enjoy, he have even more catchup to do, so yeah, you are proving my point basically.

Alright, you’ve left me no choice. I can’t just sit here on a -4% day and **NOT** buy more.
Post is by: marketmaker89 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/HiddenAlpha/comments/1n36p40/succinct_prove_token/ ATTN: I AM NOT A SPECULATIVE CRYPTO INVESTOR HOWEVER, I can’t unsee opportunity once I see it. It is why I have made a significant bet on Succinct. If interested - Coinbase trades the token. Why Succinct? Succinct Labs is quickly becoming the backbone of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) – the tech that’s about to reshape blockchain scaling, privacy, and cross-chain trust. Their SP1 zkVM lets devs write normal Rust code and instantly turn it into proofs, while their Succinct Prover Network is a live marketplace where independent provers compete to generate proofs cheaply and at scale. They’ve already powered 5M+ proofs across 35+ protocols securing $4B+ in value, with heavyweights like Polygon, Celestia, Lido, and Arbitrum onboard. Backed by Paradigm and Polygon’s founders, plus an exclusive deal with Offchain Labs, Succinct is positioned to be the “Chainlink of ZK.” The PROVE token isn’t just governance fluff – it’s the fuel and collateral that runs this proving economy, with provers staking it, users spending it for computation, and stakers earning yield. With ZK proofs viewed as the endgame for blockchain scaling and expected to improve 10–100x in efficiency over the next few years, Succinct sits at the center of a massive growth wave. If ZK is the future, PROVE is a direct bet on that future’s backbone. (Invest accordingly and at your own risk) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

lol ur worried? brad the garlic house is having private dinners at mar a lago and being appointed to the “crypto council”. i had doubts for about 5 min in 2020 upon learning what it could really do. and that was only bc of all the fud. when every one said it was a stable coin at .25. thank God i was able to hodl. the entire iso20022 system has been amazing to me. do NOT sell your xrp. other ppl just want it at a discount. maybe not ppl in this thread. but larry fink wants it. if he wants it, its prob goin up n right.
Why do people always assume the options are to sell it all or keep it all? Sell 90%, put that in 60/40 stock/bond index (like AOR), and enjoy life. Never sell the 10%. Do NOT borrow against Bitcoin, that just introduces unnecessary risk.

The amount of Bitcoin Maxi’s on this app is kind of wild to me. While I do believe Bitcoin will be a staple for years to come, it’s also nearing the top of this cycle and is more than likely going to plummet after this bull run. Now, not financial advice and NOT trying to support the guy, per se, but you need to follow the money. Trump and fam have been investing in coins like ADA (Cardano), CRO (Crypto.com, they hold 19% as of a few days ago), LINK (Chainlink) and XRP. Just to name a few. I’d begin by doing your own research. Possibly starting with those coins and then make YOUR OWN educated purchases from what you learn. Lastly, look into cycles and teach yourself the Elliot Wave Theory, as best you can and quickly because I do think a cycle top is is very near.
You do realize that if everyone used Bitcoin, nobody could use Bitcoin, right? The current model says buy it and put in cold storage and never touch it. NOT USE. Which is great, because if people actually used it, they would quickly realize how terrible the technology is. Bitcoin is running out of nonsensical narratives to coax in new buyers. Look out below.
I bought a ledger nano X and I allocate 500$ per week into it via coinbase man! I just buy all my crypto currencies and send it to my ledger at the same time. NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR CRYPTO
Not right now man. Maybe put a nice little chunk in, then set up a weekly auto-buy (DCA) for now. Wait until Bitcoin DUMPS again after this cycle to REALLY start sinking money into it. Then again, a lot of people are theorizing that, because of institutional adoption and the Bitcoin ETFs (among other things), “this cycle will be different.” I tend to NOT agree with that though. If you are prepared to HOLD it for like 6-8 more years, though, and aren’t afraid of volatility over that span of time, then you probably COULD sink a lot of money into it right now and you would be totally fine in the long run. I just don’t think this is the best time to dump damn near everything you have into it (because of where we are in the cycle). Just be careful dude!!
Now is NOT the time to go 'all in'... we're in the latter half of a 4 year cycle (yes, these will still happen and I know institutional adoption will make these vary going forward...) and there's still some gas in the tank for BTC to hit 130-160K by end of the year. I would wait for the correction in mid to late '26 or early '27, and buy back in when it corrects back into the 35-50K range. NFA.

I don't know enough about the underlying tech to tell you how it works -- but I can tell you that it is *NOT lending your BTC*. It's maintaining custody of your BTC but "bonding" it (locking it up) which somehow secures the Babylon network -- so you get paid in their native token, not in BTC. I do not know if I trust this, but I was hoping for a more informed discussion on this subreddit. Instead it seems like people haven't read about it and just reflexively assume it's some kind of lending protocol.
Additional? You mean a 100 billion revenue stream with a 30% margin netting them 30 billion to take home and fuck around with is NOT enough? How big do they make cups these day$?
The VERY, VERY first thought when I read "Google wants to open their blockchain", immediately my head flooded with countless among countless CIA projects that forced companies to use a "new tool" which is actually a data harvester. Oh, would you look at that, Blockchains record everything, with among much creative ways to sneak more data than you know about yourself. Love it. I am NOT gonna be using it. You want fee-less, instant, 100% decentralized while being quantum-resistant? Kaspa already did it.
"Credibly neutral" is NOT how I would describe Google.
I think you can access the log files without gate intervention, as long as u didnt delete the keys. And you are 100% positive you did NOT enable withdrawals? Because that's very weird what happened, I use api keys from cex a lot, no issues at all.
Welcome abroad. We all have been where you're at, read/bookmark this guide and make sure to learn along your journey. 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 book. Get them and READ them both, please. 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 garbage tokens just because someone on YT told them to. If you don't like losing money in [failed coins](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-failed), avoid. Going DCA is probably the best approach, IMHO. Bitcoin to me, is a savings account. If I have some spare cash, I exchange it for sats. Once a week works best for me, but I'm getting paid weekly. If there's a 10% drop in the price since my last buy, I usually double my buy. This [DCA calculator](https://dca.bitnob.com/) might help to decide what will work best for you. In a few years, even $10 dollars a month can make a massive difference. This [DCA blog](https://er-bybitcoin.com/) is pretty interesting too and compares buying bitcoin VS stocks. Now, don't buy some fake bitcoin at a spot ETF place or similar, **get the real thing** that you can withdraw anytime you want. Register at a proper exchange and buy real Bitcoin. Any of these will do [https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin](https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin) Install (or buy - in case you're getting Bitcoin in Thousands of $) one or more of these wallets. A few good wallet choices: [https://blockstream.com/green/](https://blockstream.com/green/) \- Top Security Features, Open Source and Non-Custodial [https://bluewallet.io](https://bluewallet.io/) \- excellent, easy to use wallet, Open Source and Non-Custodial [https://www.sparrowwallet.com](https://www.sparrowwallet.com) - top desktop wallet [https://electrum.org](https://electrum.org/) \- Solid choice, Open Source and Non-Custodial, one of the oldest and most trusted Bitcoin Wallets.

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. Hardware Wallets (to store larger amounts): [Trezor](https://trezor.io/) \- Easy to use, no matter how new in Bitcoin you're. 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) [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, etc. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. 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.

Have you considered how do miners pay their bills when bitcoin goes down 80% for 2 years during crypto winter? Have you considered that we all know that bitcoin price increases will become less and less with each cycle, but no one is worried.

And that most people already are using lightning network not a normal bitcoin transaction. Which is a fraction of the cost.
>What would be a good time frame for my DCA? Your sentence is contradictory, the main goal of DCA is NOT to wait for "right time", but buying anytime you can whatever the price is, the advantage of DCA is that you will never always buy high, and never always buy low, it will be a mix, and at the end you are smoothing your average price with time and make better profits. You can start today, in an hour, tomorrow, it doesn't matter. \-Choose a DCA plan : daily, weekly, monthly \-Take your total budget and divide it by 365 or 52 or 12 \-Set your DCA on your platform \-Forget about it and open a beer and chill
Post-apocalyptic hellscape? I don't that unless the wars grow. Bitcoin has done +1,505.57% in the last 7 years. Fiat is trash but it still exists and is still the norm for 99% of people. 100M Bitcoin is another 1000% rise. Yes fiat will devalue, but fiat does NOT need to devalue for Bitcoin to rise in value as much of the money in the world stored as wealth isn't directly fiat, many billionaires etc store their weath in anything but fiat. This is already demonstrated by the fact fiat is still alive and kicking and yet BTC is at 100k.
Bitcoin is a fixed supply digital asset, the ownership record of which is recorded and maintained by a global network of 1,000's of computers. Each computer in the network maintains an identical copy of this ownership 'ledger' and, by using cryptography, software and extreme redundancy checks, the integrity of the records is maintained. These records are recorded in batches, called blocks, and the series of blocks is referred to as the 'blockchain.' Owners of Bitcoin have a 'wallet' with secure digital 'keys' (an alpha-numeric code) that allow them to view and manipulate their holdings on the master-record Bitcoin ledger. Much like your online banking website allows you to see and manipulate your bank account, so, in a sense, a wallet is kind of like a 'Bitcoin browser.' The 'Bitcoin' themselves are just line items on the master ledger and they of course remain on the blockchain, (so, NOT technically in your computer); the user 'wallets' just hold the KEYS that allow the key-holder to request changes to their holdings on the master ledger. Once they request such a change - moving their Bitcoin in some fashion, like to another wallet - that transaction must be approved and recorded by the entire blockchain network to process it, and once done, it is permanently added as a line-item record in the master ledger book of Bitcoin. So, you can imagine the book is getting pretty big... Bitcoin wallets with keys can be held by individuals, and this is known as self-custody. Centralized exchanges--like Coinbase--can also hold wallets with 'buckets' of Bitcoin, in a sense, and holders of exchange Bitcoin effectively trust the exchange to hold their proxy Bitcoin for them in these buckets. Some people don't trust this set-up, but others prefer the convenience of a centralized exchange. Hope this helps a bit(coin).
There’s a few blatant indicators that you don’t know what you’re doing. I advise you to correct these blind spots before something bad happens 1. You bought on Robinhood. You were charged thousands on spread/fee. You gave upwards to thousands of dollars to Robinhood for no reason. 2. Limits— you can only withdraw $5000 worth of crypto per day on Robinhood. Therefore I the event you want to move your crypto, you will be withdrawing it increments, for over a month. If you sell it to then move your money lump sum to a different crypto platform you’ll be taxed short term on it somewhere around 30%. You are effectively stuck on Robinhood. 3. FOMO— you put your life savings in near ATH. Meaning you probably just recently learned about Bitcoin and made an emotional decision. You could’ve had Bitcoin for less than $20k just 2 years ago. You will probably sell if/When we see a major crash. 4. Rookie Mistake: You posted exactly how much crypto you own and the app that it’s on for everyone to see. I advise you DO NOT move your Bitcoin into a cold wallet until you understand what you are doing. It’s a simple process but you can lose everything very easily. You are obviously very new— and we welcome you— but you’re a danger to yourself right now.
You ONLY LOSE MONEY IF YOU SELL AT A LOSS. I've made and lost a lot of money, on paper. I've realise SOME gains. I have NOT realised any losses.
Been there and done that. Although I've held bags more consistently than I've taken profits. One piece of advice, and I'll make this a separate comment, you ONLY LOSE MONEY IF YOU SELL AT A LOSS. I've made and lost a lot of money, on paper. I've realise SOME gains. I have NOT realised any losses.
I agree with Vitalik. Cross chains introduce new security problems. Vitalik's reddit comment from 2022 pasted below: The fundamental security limits of bridges are actually a key reason why while I am optimistic about a _multi-chain_ blockchain ecosystem (there really are a few separate communities with different values and it's better for them to live separately than all fight over influence on the same thing), I am pessimistic about _cross-chain_ applications. To understand why bridges have these limitations, we need to look at how various combinations of blockchains and bridging survive 51% attacks. **Many people have the mentality that "if a blockchain gets 51% attacked, everything breaks, and so we need to put all our force on preventing a 51% attack from ever happening even once". I really disagree with this style of thinking; in fact, blockchains maintain many of their guarantees even after a 51% attack, and it's really important to preserve these guarantees.** For example, suppose that you have 100 ETH on Ethereum, and Ethereum gets 51% attacked, so some transactions get censored and/or reverted. No matter what happens, you still have your 100 ETH. Even a 51% attacker cannot propose a block that takes away your ETH, because such a block would violate the protocol rules and so it would get rejected by the network. Even if 99% of the hashpower or stake wants to take away your ETH, everyone running a node would just follow the chain with the remaining 1%, because only its blocks follow the protocol rules. More generally, if you have an _application_ on Ethereum, then a 51% attack could censor or revert it for some time, but what comes out at the end is _a consistent state_. If you had 100 ETH, but sold it for 320000 DAI on Uniswap, even if the blockchain gets attacked in some arbitrary crazy way, at the end of the day you still have a sensible outcome - either you keep your 100 ETH or you get your 320000 DAI. The outcome where you get _neither_ (or, for that matter, _both_) violates protocol rules and so would not get accepted. Now, imaging what happens if you move 100 ETH onto a bridge on Solana to get 100 Solana-WETH, and then Ethereum gets 51% attacked. The attacker deposited a bunch of their own ETH into Solana-WETH and then reverted that transaction on the Ethereum side as soon as the Solana side confirmed it. The Solana-WETH contract is now no longer fully backed, and perhaps your 100 Solana-WETH is now only worth 60 ETH. Even if there's a perfect ZK-SNARK-based bridge that fully validates consensus, it's still vulnerable to theft through 51% attacks like this. **For this reason, it's always safer to hold Ethereum-native assets on Ethereum or Solana-native assets on Solana than it is to hold Ethereum-native assets on Solana or Solana-native assets on Ethereum**. And in this context, "Ethereum" refers not just to the base chain, but also any proper L2 that is built on it. If Ethereum gets 51% attacked and reverts, Arbitrum and Optimism revert too, and so "cross-rollup" applications that hold state on Arbitrum and Optimism are guaranteed to remain consistent even if Ethereum gets 51% attacked. And if Ethereum does _not_ get 51% attacked, there's no way to 51% attack Arbitrum and Optimism separately. Hence, holding assets issued on Optimism wrapped on Arbitrum is still perfectly safe. The problem gets worse when you go beyond two chains. If there are 100 chains, then there will end up being dapps with many interdependencies between those chains, and 51% attacking even one chain would create a systemic contagion that threatens the economy on that entire ecosystem. This is why I think zones of interdependency are likely to align closely to zones of sovereignty (so, lots of Ethereum-universe applications interfacing closely with each other, lots of Avax-universe applications interfacing with each other, etc etc, but NOT Ethereum-universe and Avax-universe applications interfacing closely with each other) This incidentally is also why a rollup can't just "go use another data layer". If a rollup stores its data on Celestia or BCH or whatever else but deals with assets on Ethereum, if that layer gets 51% attacked you're screwed. The DAS on Celestia providing 51% attack resistance doesn't actually help you because the Ethereum network isn't reading that DAS; it would be reading a bridge, which _would_ be vulnerable to 51% attacks. To be a rollup that provides security to applications using Ethereum-native assets, you have to use the Ethereum data layer (and likewise for any other ecosystem). I don't expect these problems to show up immediately. 51% attacking even one chain is difficult and expensive. However, the more usage of cross-chain bridges and apps there is, the worse the problem becomes. No one will 51% attack Ethereum just to steal 100 Solana-WETH (or, for that matter, 51% attack Solana just to steal 100 Ethereum-WSOL). But if there's 10 million ETH or SOL in the bridge, then the motivation to make an attack becomes much higher, and large pools may well coordinate to make the attack happen. So cross-chain activity has an anti-network-effect: while there's not much of it going on, it's pretty safe, but the more of it is happening, the more the risks go up.

Aware_Ad_618 You're an idiot. Old age does NOT = stupid. There are some "young people", like you, that are as dumb as dirt & you just proved it. Your g-ma must be SO proud.
1. Buy an open source, bitcoin only hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer. Do NOT buy from a 3rd party like Amazon. These devices can be tampered with and each manufacturer has a chain of supply delivery method that avoids this. 2. Look up BTCSessions on YT. He has a tutorial for every hardware wallet and teaches you best practices. You can learn self custody from him within an hour. 3. Some wallets I recommend looking at: coldcard, jade, seedsigner, bitbox, passport 4. Software wallet: I recommend Sparrow. It's one of the best software wallets to pair with your hardware device. It is desktop only. Keep in mind, some hardware wallet manufacturers also develop an app for their hardware like Jade. Coldcard does not. However, be aware that it is generally more secure to use software and hardware from two different manufacturers/developers than all from the same group.
SWIM is wondering how to maximize profits while NOT DCA’ing
In fact - DISABLE them completely! You do NOT need to PM anybody EVER on Reddit
Remember one thing about any traded thing like BTC, stocks, options: you are NOT a market maker. Even if you have the equivalent of millions of dollars. You are not a market maker. Everyone thinking they are - get burned.
You can normally tell by: - overly long posts with too much detail • Trigger happy use of bullet points 1. Or numbering points - Use of bold text (which I don't even know how to do on a phone) - use of strange emojis Real people usually won't take the time to write an essay on Reddit about 'why I think XRP is going to moon'. And yeah the usernames generated by Reddit which is NOT a tell as someone else said. Mine is the same. I'm pretty sure most are real people behind it. Don't interact and move on. Let's do a test on Chat GPT, prompt "make a Reddit post on why I think XRP is going to moon" [I kept in the bits that people usually don't copy - pure nonsense and done in about 10 seconds - it even knows to tailor for different subs! It was trained on reddit] Here’s a draft for your Reddit post. I kept it in the casual but structured style that tends to do well in crypto subs: Why I Think XRP Is About to Moon 🚀🌕 Alright, hear me out before you call me crazy. I’ve been following XRP for a while now, and I genuinely believe it’s set up for a major move upwards. Here are my main reasons: Regulatory Clarity – After the long battle with the SEC, XRP is one of the few cryptos with a decent level of legal clarity in the US. That alone makes it stand out in a market where regulation is still a huge question mark. Real-World Utility – Unlike meme coins or purely speculative projects, XRP has an actual use case: cross-border payments. Ripple is working with banks and financial institutions worldwide, which is exactly the kind of adoption that drives long-term value. Partnerships & Network Growth – Ripple keeps building partnerships (especially in Asia, the Middle East, and South America). The more corridors they open up, the more XRP gets used as a bridge currency. That’s not just hype, that’s real demand. Undervalued Compared to Competitors – When you compare XRP’s market cap and functionality to other top cryptos, it feels severely undervalued. If the broader market wakes up to this, we could see a serious revaluation. Market Sentiment & Timing – With Bitcoin halving and renewed interest in altcoins, money is flowing back into the market. XRP has been consolidating for ages, and historically, when it moves, it really moves. I know people love to hate on XRP (centralisation, Ripple dumping, etc.), but the fundamentals and momentum are lining up. If it breaks key resistance levels, FOMO could kick in fast. Not financial advice, just my two sats. What do you guys think—am I drinking the Kool-Aid, or does XRP really have moon potential? Do you want me to make this more hyped and meme-y (like a r/cryptomoonshots post) or more professional and analytical (like r/CryptoCurrency)?
>Once that stop hits, I will NOT buy any dips, I will ONLY re-enter once the price passes the previous local high. This will confirm the bull is still rising. 🚬🤔
I am currently (August 2025) trying to withdraw some bitcoin from Vaultoro. It has been a couple of days now. I'm not getting any personalised responses via the Vaultoro chat bot or email responses despite a couple of email submissions. NOT GOOD AT ALL!! Disappointing actually. The main guy who set Vaultoro up, Josh Scigala, once did videos on Bitcoin around 2014 outside his house in Sydney. An early adopter. No doubt very wealthy these days. WTF!
Do not panic DO NOT PANIC!!!!! IM Panicking!!!
First, do these crypto gains include altcoins? If yes, convert to BTC. Second, are you holding this life changing money on an exchange, hot wallet, or cold storage? If the former two, move your btc to a self custody cold hardware wallet ASAP. Do NOT risk that much money on an exchange or a hot wallet. Third, is the security around your bitcoin rock solid? Seedphrase backed up on paper or metal? Fourth, do you understand what you hold? Have you read The Bitcoin Standard? Do you understand scarcity, supply limit, and supply issuance? Fifth, do you understand Fiat money, how it's mined through debt issuance, and its unlimited supply? Sixth, are you preserving your privacy by running a bitcoin node and connecting your wallet to it? Seventh, are you preserving your health to enjoy your life changing gains by lifting weights and eating red meat?
It won't be a rug pull in the meme coin sense of the word. But, when the next hard fork happens, the ETFs and exchanges will be compelled to use the fork mandated to them by regulators. It will likely NOT be the fork that the vast majority of independent node runners will accept. And since you don't have your keys, there will not be a damn thing you can do about it. Run a node. Connect your wallet to it. Not your node not your rules.
Unfortunately that is BTC it’s a unstable rollercoaster. I know many people that will not touch it for this reason. Personally it’s long term investment with risk. I assume people feel as you do and bought it at $120k and look where it is. Then again it might shoot up soon, who knows. 📈📉Took 10+ years to get where it is now. Like any investment DO NOT buy what you can not afford to lose.
Bitcoin is a man bouncing a beach ball while walking up a steep hill. The hill is the trend the ball daily weekly monthly prices - WATCH THE MAN NOT THE BALL.
Only Buy Bitcoin with the money you can NOT afford to lose
He’s a weird guy, but yeah no, him and core are definitely NOT together anymore. Historically, yes, significant presence. He split.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I had a Limit Order for $111,000 since August 5th and it executed during this dip. I am on River. My Buddy had a Limit Order for $111,800 (not sure since when, but at least since before the recent run-up) and it did NOT execute. He is on Swan. 🤷🤔🤷
Eltoo Channel Factories is only ONE possible solution. There are a dozen more, at least. Large blocks are NOT necessary. Layers are better for a global monetary system... not a monolithic block system with all the world's data..
ETH ATH just ended the myth that it cannot hit ATH under restrictive monetary policy. This time is NOT different. Q4 will be glorious folks.
No I don’t thanks. You’re in the same boat as absolutely everybody else that has used bitcoin in the last 15yrs. YOUR NOT SPECIAL.
"Yeeeeah, Did you get the memo on TPS reports?" /s lol There's good and bad in execution of a tool or technique. Did this CEO make a distinction that makes sense like you did? Or is he a blind faith follower? Ive had idiot bosses who over-paid for a bad software tool then forced everyone to use it because he was too prideful about his mistake which he would NOT admit. Is there enough information from the CEO as to what situation was really the case? Is there a push in the AI 'space' by investors to pridefully prove that it is profitable. Is this a pushback on all the articles coming out in finance trades that AI isn't profitable and consuming too much time and resources? I don't know.
Sure they’re not Garunteed. But ppl are NOT predicting future outcomes based on past cycles? Ppl like raul Paul or Mike saylor for instance don’t base their charts, and prediction off their past knowledge of how the chart moves? Sure, that’s not all, but they very obviously take that into consideration. Of course ppl use past results to predict future expectations lmao. That’s technical analysis 101. Market structure. Knowing how the chart moves based on patterns. Can you see future patterns or trends? Because I can’t. Please, tell me what a trend line is and how they’re used to influence someone’s trading? Past growth patterns are the most basic form of faith that the average investor has who doesn’t make a living off trading or investing. Those are the basics. Why do people invest in the S&P? Because over the past 100 years it’s had an average ROI of 10%-ish per year. That’s proof of the past influencing an investment choice. So far bitcoin has followed proof of the past in its cycles.
Ignore the trolls! NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COIN! What have you ALL done here? 🤦 This is why people almost NEVER share their stories of being SCAMMED or LOSING BIG… They get mocked, not heard. The author finally opened up, and now he’s being trolled OFF Reddit. Honestly, I respect that he even dared to admit it!!!!! Most people would just hide it forever. Turning that mistake into a lesson, maybe even education, deserves credit, not attacks
Because WINTER IS NOT COMING (translation: there will be no more bear markets as we've known them in the past) #BTC 👍🐂🪙😎
Great stuff I did the same a few years back, no regrets living debt free is amazing and you know what is even better? I kept buying Bitcoin back so I still have Bitcoin Just don't do the mistake of NOT buying back
But that´s not accurate, you can see here that Blackrock continued selling even on Friday. And the balance for Bitcoin ETF´s remained negative on Friday, that means, they sold more Bitcoin than they bought after Powell´s speech and when stocks and Bitcoin began to raise sharply. Then the buying was being done by retail and other big players, but NOT by ETF´s: https://farside.co.uk/btc/

Nothing to do with that at all, it's all about the cost of living increase while your health deteriorates which makes it practically impossible for most of us to retire early (and from what I have seen, those who do manage it end up in some kind of financial straights 20 years or so down the road because they forgot to account for inflation or some other something bites them in the culo). In today's economy you need around 3 to 4 million dollars to retire, at any age. And that money needs to be set in some sort of perpetual wealth system so that: a) You can draw as much as you need out of there every month to live comfortably and b) The amount continues to grow at a minimum of 7% annually so that you literally never run out. Because without such a system, I've seen people who had like $500,000 in the bank they thought they could retire and here they are... 10 years from that thought, haven't worked a job in all that time and now they're in their early 50's and in deep, deep water considering moving to a third world country where it's "cheaper." Don't be that person, do NOT find yourself in that position, best I can tell you. You have no idea how it is late in life until you are there, and there are many things that will get in your way of retiring early and most of these don't become apparent until you're there (and if you're there and you forgot or failed to plan for it, then it's too late).
Do NOT di-woresify. Crypto are 99% scam coins clinging on to the discovery of digital scarcity made by Bitcoin. The small use case of crypto (stable coins) will move over to Bitcoin in time. Make no illusions, they all trend towards zero vs Bitcoin.
I don't see anything wrong with just investing and DCA whatever you can. Leverage trading sounds sexy and fun but really you'll just be exit liquidity for some random. I believe in the future of digital currency not just lasting but taking over the traditional finance system. So I DCA and I HODL. BUY A DECENTRALIZED COLD WALLET NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS I believe we will soon see the first major reckoning of people losing all their crypto because of a major hack. Don't wait, people will lose millions because they didn't have a 50$ wallet.
Bag holders retire silently. They make huge losses holding one of the many bags of their favorite coins, and they DO NOT announce their retirement from 'crypto'. They just stop posting. If so many people lose money, who makes moeny? The pre-miners and promoters of coins like XRP, ETH, Nano, Ada, Tron make money. They CANT LOSE MONEY.
