Retire is a loaded label. Let's just say you have enough money to give up your job and have enough money to live (accommodation, clothes, food), nothing extravagant. Then what? There's an interesting chapter in an old book, I'm OK, You're OK. One of the biggest problem people have is how to fill the next hour of their life. So much so that we all create rituals and habits to relieve us of making those decisions. Once you give up everything in your old life, you will need to build a new one. What is your vision for it? On a financial note, I would wait a couple of years E3Q/2029 - the most likely time for the next peak, then cash out what you need for living expenses. STRC/Strategy looks interesting for a no hassle income. And in that time you could plan your new life.

I see the system bro. I'm telling you what you can do about it. I can do a quote too "The best way to help the poor is not to become one of them." Not sure who said. Yeah the system is imperfect. And most people will fail to adapt to it. Almost no one who succeeds starts from absolute zero. They have enough to fall back on so they can keep failing without getting wiped out. They have 100 chances to spin the lottery, whereas most people have maybe 1. And it's commendable that you worked hard, and hey you went to college. Not everyone gets to go to college you know. The issue with your hard work at 3 jobs is that whatever you did was not worthwhile enough to earn you billions. Instead of that 3rd job maybe you could have invented a better paper clip or something on the side. You did what you did and got what you got. You are not going to fix things by robbing the rich and redistributing it. I'm not ultra wealthy but doing OK. Even if you took 98% of what I have it would solve nothing, but set me back hard. Even if you took 98% from Elon, it would solve nothing but Elon would still probably be okay. It doesn't mean that me and Elon have to give up 98%. We earned it. He did it his big way, I did it my little way. Taking it from us is not the solution.

Market manipulation is being "smart". OK.

Cute-Gur414

well...if they need money for preferred stocks, they can get it from 3 places. Selling preferred - hard to do when the yields are so high and just adds more dividend obligations in the future. Pref stock dividends per year were 1% of bitcoin holdings. Now it's 3.5%. AS the price goes down in bitcoin, it's a larger and larger percent. Selling common, not good for common shareholders and "negative bitcoin yield" by definition. Selling bitcoin - which makes for bad headlines and could cause the prices to fall hard. Alternatively, they could cancel the pref dividends. Then all hell would break loose. BTC down 30% in a day probably. "Largest holder of bitcoin and largest buyer now on the ropes". They'd never sell any pref again after that. Ultimately, it's tied to bitcoin. If bitcoin goes up, the stock will be OK. If it falls or just languishes, mstr can run into problems. That seems common sense and very "basic math".

No_Pin7480

Sir, the best way forward is to have a strategy, write it down (what you are trying to achieve) and stick to it, unless there are fundamental changes that may make your strategy become obsolete. Looking daily at a chart triggers emotions, and human beings are more prone to negative news than positive ones. So ask yourself: What am I trying to achieve with my portfolio Am I OK to lose it all? Is there a price at which I would like to sell (all/part)? Best regards

This guy is a muppet and he seems to only be realising he made the wrong decisions. Buying nfts and shitty meme coins was a stupid move. How on earth do you lock up your crypto for 40 years?  OP is a crappy in making decisions and I bet has similar losses in other more traditional asset classes, but because this is crypto, it's OK to vent here.  No OP, you need someone to check with before you're allowed to commit your money because you obviously can't be trusted to make even basic decisions reliably. 

alrachid

It’s kind of odd, I’m just a normal person down here trying to get by. But four years ago I made a prediction about what the next all-time high would be and I was within $3000. This isn’t because I’m a smart or because I knew the future, it simply because I zoomed out and looked at a couple numbers of previous highs and lowest throughout the cycles, and I made an educated guess based on the fact that new all-time highs were getting lower and lower in the multiples, when measured against the lows. That being said when it got very close to my predicted price point, I still didn’t believe that my prediction was going to be correct and I thought it would blow right past it and go much higher than it did but alas, it hit my target, where I told myself I would start selling, and it turned around and started dropping, and I never sold anything. That’s OK because even at this point, I’m still in the green and I welcome and even further drop now because I would love to own a whole coin someday.

OK, but what about macroeconomic factors? Bitcoin now trades alongside other risk assets (especially the Bitcoin ETFs). Is this halving thing replacing all concerns about interest rates, liquidity, recession, inflation, etc. Plus, if everyone knows that Bitcoin peaks 12-18 months after halving, and act accordingly, won’t that compress the cycle?

norfbayboy

OK, I'll look in to that.

I’m invested money I can afford to lose, automated dynamic DCA, have all my assets paid off and will live a good life even if we see $0. I’ll of course live a better life if it doesn’t but… it’s OK. I still check via price alerts…. $55,000 and $62,000 are my current alerts. How it gets to those numbers isn’t super relevant unless you’re swing trading with leverage… and I left that game a long time ago.

ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive

Oh wow... OK you really have no idea. "They" haven't invested billions into bitcoin ETFs. It's a fund that they think investors will want to buy, and those investors put their own money into it. Which is why you can go buy shares of IBIT right now. Why do they do this? Because the ETFs make money on each trade. Whenever someone buys or sells, they make a percentage. It really doesn't matter if bitcoin is $1M or $100k or $50k. They make money on the trades regardless. Sort of like sales tax. If you buy 100 candy bars at $1 apiece, you pay exactly the same amount in tax as if you buy one $100 candy bar.

infernal_celery

Lawyer here (UK):  Can confirm the number of “crypto lawyers” who have actually bothered to do self-custody and learn about BTC is low. That said: they don’t need to learn anything major. Basic concepts of “who has access, how do they get it, how can the executor take control when the court gives the grant of probate?” are all they need. Strongly suggest not bothering with dead man’s switches. They rarely work, add a vulnerability to be abused and there have been many estates screwed over because of legal battles afterwards. As other have said: tech problems and legal problems are different, you need to solve for both. Easiest route for a will (lowest effort, OK-ish security): “I leave all of my BTC to [x], the VeraCrypt container containing the seed phrase is in [y] and the password for that container is in [z].” Alternatively: “… the seed phrase of which is divided into [x] parts on metal plates, one of each being stored at [safe deposit y] and [safe deposit z].” The multiple key shard holders is OK too, but if it’s also a wallet you want to draw from when alive you’re going to be better off having a low quorum and sharding the estate’s keys rather than adding more keys while keeping quorum low, because of the risk of the fiduciary losing a whole key. Slight issue is that you need an executor or fiduciary who knows how to recombine the shards. Trusts work, but you need a custodian. Very few fiduciaries will accept custody of their keys and they need to exercise control to have an effective trust. Custodians charge a percentage for assets under custody. That said, they’re much easier for your estate to deal with. You could ditch estate planning altogether and hold in multisig. Risk is that all your family turn against you as a whole and legally you would jointly own the BTC.

Putting 5% of your worth into the best performing thing in history is stupid, simply because it is volatile. If you are 70 years old, maybe 5% holding is OK, still dumb.

Unlike many rich folk, Elon Musk is actually creating substantial value for humanity. He is not sitting on a pile of cash either; most of his wealth is 'on paper,' that is, it in the notional value of his companies' stock, not sitting in a Scrooge McDuck bank vault. Also, he's not out buying gold yachts, but is working hard to help humanity invent the future. I'm OK with a system that rewards efforts like his, even if it is imperfect.

It's interesting your continued profanity-laced rants. Where did you see that I was dodging taxes? Where did I say that or even imply it? I've always paid my taxes owed, doesn't mean I agree with it. I was mentioning all the fraud that happens in the government with other people's money. So now you know I've always paid my taxes and even a couple of audits w/o issue, I ask yet again, what is my fair share? I still appreciate you showing how tough you are with the continued profanities. It suits you well. What is abusing loopholes? If you follow the law doesn't one want to pay as minimum tax as possible? If you don't think so. how much extra do you donate ot the government last April? OK forget about me then, why don't you explain to all these good people what a person's "fair share" is? I'll help you. You can't, so you dodge the question and character attack thinking exaplining it is "beneath you" when in reality you can't, becausae there no such things, just subjective opinions.

pretendingtobebroke

Dude, I literally just told you I value human life more than my car. What are you on about? You're making up fictitious beliefs about me that you THINK I have (which I don't) in order to prove your point. I never argued or even hinted that a car has more value than a human life, I don't know where you're even getting that from. But since you refuse to answer my very simple question, I'll have to assume your answer is "yes, some human rights are OK to violate in some situations" which you presumably just don't want to admit that since it sounds bad. I obviously disagree with that, I think all human rights are inalienable and should NEVER be violated under any circumstance, period. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I would love to get a clear answer to that question as I think it may be the key to understanding our different viewpoints, but if you keep dodging the question and refusing to answer it I'll have to take that as a sign you're not willing to engage in a rational and good faith discussion, in which case there's no point in continuing this.

pretendingtobebroke

>The entirety of human history shows us that over and over and over again. Eh, the vast majority of human history has been based on voluntary trade and free association, not by coercion and threats of violence. Federal income taxes were only introduced in the US in 1913, and before then there were well-functioning infrastructure like roads, power grids, public transit, police, firefighters and so on. Turns out people are willing to pay for the things they want to use. >As for your train example... it's ludicrous. What train example? I never mentioned anything about a train? And no, what makes you think I value my car more than a human life? The reason I am libertarian is precisely because I value other people's lives and rights, such as the right to life and the right to self-determination. But you still have not answered the question I actually asked - are some human rights OK to violate in some situations?

Promeeetheus

As I understand it, you transfer the BTC you want to borrow against to a fiduciary and they hold it. If BTC value drops below an arranged threshold, they liquidate to cover the note. It sounds like payday loans unless the market is RIPPING. It doesn't seem like something I'd be OK with. The existing platforms that were doing it like Celcius (bankrupt in 2022) didn't do so great. Now you can do it with most major platforms. Still seems like a bad idea.

Realistic-Ad1498

Your OP and comments sound like nonsense. You bought awhile back…. OK…. When? You sold almost everything else except half a million in BTC. Right…. What happened to everything else? Will try to take profits when it goes up again? Up how much? 10%, 25%, 100%? No liquidity…. In the most liquid asset in existence.

Which coin is closer to Satoshi's hypothetical magic metal? Trump is OK grifting off bitcoin because it is a grift. It doesn't threaten the dollar (like he first thought) because it's not a functional currency; it's a pyramid scheme

Apparently they finally have a deal, and might actually end the war and open the Strait. OK, maybe asking for $80K is a bit of a stretch when the market is so bearish. But that's gotta get us at least into the $70Ks in the coming week.

Junglebook3

Alrighty, let's do this. Given that TAO markets itself as "decentralized AI", a regulatory shut down of a model such as Anthropic Mythos highlights the benefits of "decentralized AI". That line of reasoning works if you stop your thinking there and never ask any further questions. So, what is TAO? TAO is a middle man, a routing layer between requests and Gen AI responses. It uses crypto as an incentive model for people to put up hardware to run compute. The crypto side of things could have also been done with credit cards. So, putting the "crypto" element aside, how is it decentralized AI? To be clear, if Anthropic Mythos is banned, it would also not be available via TAO. Other models would be fine though, but those same models are available directly from their respective vendors (OpenAI, Google, etc). But what about open source models such as the Llama ones, those can't be shut down, right? Yes, that's great! But the value there doesn't come from TAO here, it comes from the existence of the open source models, their ongoing funding and development (Meta...), and the hardware provider that runs them. OK, so what about hardware? Well, almost all TAO inference hardware is run of course on the big three clouds, because that is the most cost effective way to compute Gen AI workloads. But what about individual users offering their GPU? That is too slow to do any real work, and not something you would put production workloads on. TAO *does* provide value, the idea of providing an abstraction layer behind hardware and models is neat to an extent, and there are competitors that offer that. In reality most companies choose their cloud provider and stick to them. Multicloud is real and some ultra large companies do that, and those may use a routing service, but that does not make "decentralized AI" or shield you from regulatory risk in any real way.

OK bro, keep your bias, I don't really care anyway. I remember that you were high as a kite on memecoins when they were already over too.

RetiredAvocado

Addresses are not true or false, but this address looks OK, and it's never been used before. You have to be sure it's your exchange's address that they gave to you, and you're not using a scam lookalike app or whatever. Exchange is not a wallet. If you're sending bitcoin to binance it's so you can "exchange" it there. Not keep it there.

bittenbycoin

OK long game it is, but soon enough the block reward will go to 1.56, then 0.78, then in around 10 or 11 years down to 0.39 bitcoin per block. So if things stay stagnant while we play the long game we'll have to get creative to pay for security...bake sales, garage sales, car washes, raffles come to mind. Maybe compete directly with the best there is in this genre, Girl Scout cookies.

csmflynt3

You ever try to withdraw money from a bank.....It is very restrictive even though it's supposed to be "your" money it's not. The banks and the government control every cent in your account and you need their OK before you can send, receive, or buy things with it. They also track it all too and require KYC for absolutely everything.

alexstefan89

Going back to 2010 would actually mean splitting my timeline into two separate timelines starting from 2010. In the 2nd timeline, I would first have to kill the other me and take his place, while leaving my actual friends and loved ones wondering where did I go missing without me ever returning again. Then, I would have to make sure I am able to replace the other me without anyone figuring out I am another me from another Universe with potentially different characters, personalities and abilities, after making sure I dispose of the other me's body and never get caught. This is already a very very very long shot, and only after I make sure of these things and that I am OK with everything, I will start worrying how to get that Bitcoin. In con fusion, I would just take the red pill, cash in the 21 bitcoin's in my own timeline and enjoy the rest of my life.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

OK I'm gonna start trying to post more positive comments, despite the market being absolute shit. First off, we're already 51% down. So historically, that would put us around 2/3rds of the way down already. So the majority of the downside has already been done for this cycle, if we follow the usual cycles. Second, if we've already experienced the majority of the losses for this bear market, then we're already at a point where if you have holdings, it's probably getting less and less worth it to sell it, and you might as well just hang on. Of course, the final third is always the most painful, so it's easier said than done. And 1/3 of 126K, is still a lot of money.

VisiblePlatform6704

January 2012, I was moving out of Germany to my home country after having worked 4 years there. I had some savings and needed to take with me, but didnt want to have cash. So I researched alternatives and found this Bitcoin thing. I bought a lot of it, and after moving i sold it at am OK profit. I think I had around 30k usd at the time.  I wish I had just kept the rest in btc.

WickedDeity

Shot-Acanthaceae1420

OK so bitcoin now fulfils the 'store of value' prerequisite for a currency. Let's go for 'medium of exchange' next.

TheCryptoDong

I'll go against overall doxa here, but I would say yes. For "small" amounts (depends on your vision of what is small), it's OK to use Centralized Exchange like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance or ByBit. But, start transferring to your own wallet when you feel it, especially when the amount becomes uncomfortable for you to store on an online platform. Make sure you secure the account with clean email address, secure and unique password, and OTP like Authenticator, and possibly Passkey/Yubikey. And you're good.

pleasant-peasant859

EnderSword

OK, let us know what "they" want the price to go up and I'll buy some more.

repomies69

Yes I'm sure. This depends on your collateral asset. I just wasn't reading the "fine print". I used trade btc-settled futures and there was not such a thing. [https://support.kraken.com/articles/interest-and-conversions-unified-wallet](https://support.kraken.com/articles/interest-and-conversions-unified-wallet) Read the part "Interest Payments on Uncovered Losses" I think the fee itself is OK, but it is ricidulously high if you trade higher amounts, and also I don't think it is clearly stated in the documentation at all. So it came a bit as a surprise after some time trading.

AmoebaFar8564

Cause i thought that many people regrets buying BTC at the current decreas and sells. Even Mr "i will NEVER sell BTC" is selling to hold Up His company liquid. Dont misunderstand BTC is nothing of mine cause it delivers Not many use-cases (OK Iran uses to pay for "using Safe" street of hormuz). Are you buying now, Price to entry or fill-up is good near the 60k. What do you think when we will get Back to 100k?

TheresNoSecondBest

>Check out Tangem That's a horrible choice of a wallet, mate. It's OK if you (like losing money over long period of time and) hold some shitcoins, but for your bitcoin, use some proper cold wallet. It should be fully open source, Bitcoin only and air-gapped.

RosieDear

Didn't Elon say that DOGE coin was going to the Moon? Maybe he meant they will put a printed sheet on the eventual moon mission? I don't like seeing people lose real money.....but there are some part of the whole deal which are humorous. For example, the famed DOGEcoin millionaire...a regular working dude up was up about 3 million at the peak from a small initial investment...but refused to sell despite folks like myself telling him "OK, then, sell 1/2 of it"...... A true believer. This is like winning the lottery and then putting it all down on 0 on a roulette wheel. Easy come, easy go in his case...but anyone who actually lost real money that they worked for, etc - I do feel bad for them.

Physical-Profit9447

It is an OK solution for a single use case. It is not AI after all and not justify its pricing. In BTC's case, it can only do 7 transactions per second. Probably you can hire 100 people and can manually handle 7 transactions per second while BTC network burns entire countries of electrical energy. You can use that energy and chips for data centers which already proved its worth. Plus most cryptos are not decentralized anymore including BTC which is basically run by a few farmer groups.

mrjune2040

He’s a self-absorbed narcissist who makes vapourware with no users, and spends more time streaming political diatribes than he does improving his fucking protocol. And when he realised that wasn’t working he released another one (that still isn’t fully functional), and now he’s thrown the first one under the bus entirely. Oh, and he spent 200million building a health clinic which promptly closed down after a year due to over-expenditure and poor management. My favourite quote from the reporting on it: The building was also going to include a private “napatorium” where Hoskinson could sleep. The room was inspired by Thomas Edison and his attempts to enter a semi-lucid state where he could come up with creative ideas. Hoskinson’s mum, Patricia Hoskinson, claimed when showing reporters the clinic that, “He takes power naps, OK, and so that’s where he gets all these brilliant ideas.”

Elean0rZ

Notwithstanding, in the context of blockchain tech there's a very specific technical distinction between "coins" and "tokens". Bitcoin is the former. Whatever one might think about BTC or Saylor, there's still no excuse for using an incorrect term when reporting on it, any more than it would be OK to describe MSTR as a bond.

Basically this is what is going to happen, LIKE ALWAYS OK. Pay attention this time. The government tightens its purse strings, they start a war, and the stock market climbs because companies are earning crazy amounts of money. How are they doing that? The people. They have saved and use their savings or what little they have paying higher prices. We are experiencing that now. People are struggling and everyone is like “why is the market up, the economy and prices are fk’d. Well, soon friend. Soon. The people will be strung out and then have nothing left and then the drawdown actually happens…. People who have any assets sell them. People will sell their bitcoin this fall. Then the doom and gloom. Everyone struggling, everyone thinking “I better sell my bitcoin at $45k before it literally goes to zero. Damnit, why didn’t I sell at $125k. Why did I buy at $110k. F this shit I’m out. And just as soon as everyone sells, and loses hope, and is destitute, the Fed/government will step in, lower rates and start pumping the economy with printed money. Thats when the next bull run happens, guessing June 2027. But it could be earlier or later. Hard to say. Then all the people who sold at $50k, get pissed that it’s going up, and buy in again at $120k and then it rinses and repeats. All the while, the following lemming citizen gets fleeced by their bad decisions and “I’m gonna buy it and hope it goes up! But I really don’t know anything.”

Price is determined by market sentiment and earnings per share overtime as well as dividends that are issued by the investment on a quarterly or annual basis. If the earnings are increasing overtime or the dividends have been increasing overtime, all of that will affect the investment performance and PRICE discovery of the market. Oh wait none of that applies here. OK price is determined solely by market sentiment.

I was around in 1980 when my bro (he was 50 years ahead of the current BS) told me to buy silver galore and gold. The return was a joke. Even if I held it to today. I did buy some in 2018 or so and did OK on that, but then again the S&P is close and prob lower risk, Again, it's the anecdotes of the few who make money.....weighed against the millions who made very little.

My buddy went to France and said to watch out near tourism zones. People will grab your wrist and tie a bracelet on it and then demand payment. Most people over pay for the cheap/crappy bracelet due to pressure from scammer. -- As an American that is really confusing. I told him "that's a good way to get shot" Him: "oh no, no, no, the French do not have guns" Me: "well, stabbed, you'd get shot or stabbed in the US for that bullshit" Him: "oh, no, no, no, the French do not allow weapons like that" Me: "What about a good old ass kicking? You'd get punched square in the face in the USA for that" Him: "oh, no, no, no, the French do not allow self-defense like that, it's a different culture. You can't simply punch people. Police won't allow foreigners beating up scammers, they just don't have it, they'll charge you" -- Like, are you OK over there France? lol For a country that is known for revolution and standing up for the common man, this all seems out of character.

90% is on a cold wallet, 10% is on the exchange for quick trades. Every time I reach that sweet $10k threshold I withdraw to my cold wallet. I’m OK with that setup.

OK cheers that makes a lot more sense and was exactly what I was talking about. I thought it was wierd a legitimate business accepted payment from non legal tender

mostly I just don't look at it that often. I have a rough sense of what I hold and what I would be OK losing. the cycle anxiety tends to come from checking too frequently and not having sized to something you can actually hold through drawdowns

ETH and BTC I'm honestly fine with. been holding since 2021, not trading it. the question I ask myself is not when will it moon but would I be OK holding this for 5 more years and the answer is yes. XRP I'd never touch, no real use case I can see outside speculation. alts are where the bag holding gets sad ngl

1. No, there isn't universal system to say there must be inflation or deflation, both have existed in the world. But there IS a mathematical reality of what that would do to the economy. 2. Irrelevant, nothing to do with the argument. 3. You're missing the point, investment is required for people to survive, physically. Not financially. People invest money to grow food, build homes, find oil, develop medicines etc... 4. Buy goods from who? What goods? OK, you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll spell it out for other observers. If I have $1 million, I could decide to buy a farm and tractors and pay people etc... to produce food. My hope is I then sell the food and make a profit off that, I produce a thing people need and in doing so, I make money. Now I'm taking a risk doing that, things could go wrong, so I could just keep the $1 million, but if there's inflation as I just hold onto it, I will lose value, lets say 3% per year. So say my farm will likely make 7%, that's actually 10% better than doing nothing, instead of losing 3% I gain 7% So i build my farm, employ people and I produce food for a bunch of people. The Higher inflation gets, the lower my 'Required Rate of Return' is to take the risk of building the farm, if inflation was 4% i might build the farm expecting only 6% etc...Inflation makes me want to invest and deploy my money. Pretend instead I was holding a Deflationary currency, deflating at 10% per year. Now if I want to build a farm, and it only profits 7%, I'd never do that, I'm better off keeping my deflationary currency instead. I now need the farm to profit 20% in order to be as good an idea as the first situation. Unless my farm is going to be really really successful I shouldn't build it, mildly successful isn't good anymore. I'm better off rejecting most ideas and just keeping my money, but this extends beyond me, if you have an idea for an invention, I wouldn't want to invest in you either, I'll just keep my money, so your idea never happens. The very rich just keep their money as money, they develop nothing, produce nothing because the deflation of the currency is a guaranteed gain. The economy would be terrible, no long term project would ever be constructed, anyone in any debt is doomed forever as the amount they owe increases and their pay decreases every year.
