Never leave all your eggs in one basket OP... invest in both
Yes but it was still muted, no euphoria phase is what I believe OP is getting at.
Listen to this ^ OP , bottom is a minus 75 to 90%.
It's because the person who made this graphic and OP both don't know what they're talking about.
**OP:** “sorry guys as a whale I’m fearful and thinking about selling my $143 of BTC”
I agree reallocating is wise and not a sign of weakness. I wouldn’t argue otherwise. On purpose, I have a life set up that can handle a great deal of risk and a long time reason. OP does not, and that’s fine. He’s also panicking right now which is also fine. Similarly, it’s fine that I’m comfortable with my allocation and lifestyle.
Do you have small children and is bitcoin >80% of your net worth?? If so, then you can provide some sympathetic input. But if not, you’re in a totally different place in life than OP and your comments are not helpful whatsoever.
Yes this exactly. OP check out my post
CME gap at $92k says OP is high AF on hopium puff puff pass
Sorry I thought you were OP I responded to originally, lol. Sounds like we agree.
Dude, I mean no disrespect but OP has been in the game for 5 years and you’re basically a toddler compared to him who has not been through anything serious yet. I get that you mean well but maybe don’t call a non-hodler somebody who has way more experience in hodling than you do?
@OP: where does your confusion lie? All of those things are true. The institutions or entities you listed are all buying
I meant I’m not sure what you’re insinuating by your previous comment, not the OP. I read the OP. I commented about your statement of BTC sinking at a faster rate at the moment… but in truth, everything is sinking at the same time. The US shutdown has HAD to happen because the government spend is untenable. Look at Figma (down 5% today), Diginex down 22%, Rivian down 15% to name nowhere near the worst performing. 👀
Sorry, I sent photo of pineapple on pizza in OP_RETURN transaction

I knew of Btc for a min but only just now coming into a bit of cash. I am ready to buy the dip but I need an opinion on something else. OP what are your thoughts of ETH? I am not going down the rabbit hole of meme coins. Etc. But I always liked ETH. Or, do I dump the entirety of my first Bonus check into just Btc?
Note to OP: We are still in a dip. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!
Hey OP, looks like this might be a Strike issue based on another comment, but if it keeps happening, just reach out to Koinly support in the in-app chat. They can check your CSV and steer you right. FYI Strike doesn’t support crypto trade exports via API, so CSV is the correct import method 👍
Fair point actually. OP is wrong about the date for both USD and CAD. 😂
OP with his $42 stack calling people sheep 😵💫
I thought it was an IRS rule, not a provider rule. $50K max and/ or 50% of what is vested. OP posted $200K though.
OP, stfu with your fairy tales.

OP, The easiest way to provide you with comfort right now is to tell you to go back and look at 5 years ago. And ten years ago. I got into the game when bitcoin was around $6k each but I had no flipping clue what I was doing. When I looked at my coinbase again, I had $2k in there. I had all kinds of stocks, I bought complete garbage shit coins on foreigner exchanges. I put $12k into the bitforex and bought OMI coin. Bitcoin information was oozing from youtube influencers. I had no one in my real life to guide me. I did not know about reddit, even… All of us are still here learning and we come to reddit for a bit of comfort, camaraderie. All this to say that I just buy what I can afford. I no longer get anxiety at all when I wake up and look at my braiins mini lottery miner ticker in my bedroom & see that bitcoin went down to $95k. Not one ounce of fear. I buy more. Will it go down more? Who knows? This volatility is how you squeak your way in with a few satoshi worth more. If bitcoin did not exist, we’d probably be on the /gold discussion group having the same exact conversation, but the risks are even higher. “Did I buy fake gold?” “ how will I secure it?” “ if I go to sell it, why are they only offering 70% the value?” Gold is amazing to hold in your hand and admire. I never guessed it would be $4k+ in 2025! As a matter of fact, I never guessed the US dollar would be SOOO deflated so quickly, either. Hey man. I’m not at all meaning to brag. When I say: if i get a stimulus check, it’s ALL going into bitcoin. Just like my last two did. Is it going to drop more or go up: yes? No? Maybe? Just buy what you can afford. Store it in a cold wallet. Your job is to accumulate as much as you can without disrupting your present day life. Take care of your bills, take care of your health. Brush and floss regularly. And DCA bitcoin. In the year 2030 will you be upset because you bought at $95k and not $75k or you bought at $112k? Look at the chart from 5 years ago. I was just like you, saying “it was $16k! Now it’s $23k! Should i buy ? Wait? Whats the top? Is it going down in 6 months?!” And i had no one to talk me off a cliff except influencers on youtube.
Agree, if you stacked without issue through 2022 and *this* is what’s hurting, you’re over-concentrated. I’ve got kids, been around about as long as OP, but BTC is around 25-30% of my assets. From this vantage point, this price genuinely feels like opportunity.
OP obviously doesn’t follow the news. Satoshi just announced this morning that she is lowering the price of bitcoin to 0.99 BTC
Haha, you need a long term horizon for this one. You came back to ask the OP how much he's lost? Are you that sad of a person? Get a hobby buddy.
exactly. OP is just dumb and is bullshitting here. he w has absolutely no idea of anything
Why would you post anything then lol? It’s about what OP thinks about Bitcoin, it’s a Bitcoin sub, it’s reasonable to post it. It seems you’d be fine with other people doom posting, but not ok with a reasonable take from OP
But OP isn’t panicking. In fact it’s funny because the parent comment seems to accuse OP for not panicking lol
I have a feeling OP is the trouble.
OP realizing the crypto space is full of right wingers [https://frinkiac.com/img/S05E22/89288.jpg](https://frinkiac.com/img/S05E22/89288.jpg)
OP, bless your heart. This is the equivalent of you giving $500 cash to a random guy, and he promises he'll give you back $600 next month. Obviously he's lying and will just take off with the money and you'll never see him again. Think about it logically my friend, why would a random person "help you stake" crypto or money in general?
OP was bored and wanted to post something on reddit.
You clearly didn’t read the link OP posted and really like to hear yourself talk, eh?
Bitcoin is a protocol, like TCP/IP, built for single-purpose behavior. TCP/IP knows nothing other than where the traffic is going. The packet hops between nodes until it gets to its destination or eventually times out after too many hops. Layers on top of TCP/IP (e.g. HTTP) have more information and more rules; they can achieve more but also be exploited. The simplicity is what makes bitcoin so secure and why we’ve seen countless events with ETH smart contracts having bugs or exploits, along with every other scamcoin. This is a problem with wallet software, not Bitcoin, which anyone can create (badly). The OP provides no working link so we have no info on what wallet was used. The Bitcoin Core wallet and other reputable wallets have safeguards to prevent obviously high fees - they require users to ignore warnings or set custom fees.
OP you just bought a bunch right before the massive tank didn't you.
Agreed OP. Nothing has fundamentally changed with BTC. Things have only gotten more bullish. Large entities will be buying at prices which are as low as possible and shaking out retail while they do so. One day they'll sell you 0.1 BTC for a million dollars and call it a safe haven.
Optimism network Superchain is doing its job scaling Ethereum and the whales know OP Stack fixed all of the old problems Ethereum had. Optimism-ETH Superchain is the future.
The OP comment makes no sense. Institutions provide more stability, not less. The whales unloaded a bit but there were buyers so that means that ownership is now more widespread.
Tl;dr **OP bought his first BTC purchase above $100k and he wants us to all panic with him so he can feel better with company in misery** Sorry bro. I’ve held through 80% drops multiple times times. Your post isn’t going to shake me out lol.
Anyone who feels like calculating what OP would've earned if he put in the same total amount once per month? I feel like that would've saved a lot in transaction costsm
Seriously. I’m just waiting for $1m Bitcoin and here OP is bitching about a 21% drop from ATH? Get out of here haha.
This post and OP is hilarious. We’ve had people who were in despair back in 2011, and also back in 2013 when people were 100x leveraged on Bitcoin. This isn’t a coping mechanism, this is Darwinism at its finest. Bitcoin volatility isn’t for everyone, and that’s why the price is what it is; it rewards the strongest. What these noobies don’t realize is that for every rare but seemingly easy story you hear about people buying Bitcoin back in 2010 or 2011 and is a multi millionaire / billionaire today is millions of people selling at a loss or selling too soon. It’s not as easy as you think it is, otherwise everybody and their mom would be swimming in money.
It's almost like OP is in some sort of hurry to be wealthy.
The OP is about THE CZECH REPUBLIC. A country in CENTRAL EUROPE, which shares borders with Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.
Anyone who bought last 6-7 months are in the red and you are tired of the coping? Boo hoo; Have some human decency and compassion for people struggling. Yes only the strong will survive doesn't mean you need to be cold hearted. God forbid humans have emotions and are questioning their investment. It won't help them because btc is a logical investment but still no point in being a dbag and being "annoyed" by them If anything you're annoying OP.
You're right, it isn't wrong, especially since OP said "this would never happen tho" 🤦♂️
but you pay the 6% interest back to yourself. i wouldn't do that OP is doing, it's too risky. BTC can be down for a year and then he's sweating.
OP explained it in the second sentence. “I don’t think so.” It’s an opinion. Read it as an opinion and don’t let a Reddit headline convince you to buy or sell.
OP is just like everyone else - knows absolutely nothing. These posts are so tired.
Why doesn’t OP just buy IBIT inside the 401k..?
Get down voted for saying anything practical. Logic users are also welcome to r/BTC, the less censored subreddit. Sorry you had this experience OP.
It’s obviously not ha hierarchical list. And OP is just constantly trying to shill #8 if you look at their comment history.
OP doesn’t realize women own BTC too but they are a degenerate incel.

OP I’m in a very similar situation as you, and I’m stacking BTC up to a specific BTC number. After which I’m spreading my investment capital across a broader portfolio
This saying has been repeated around a gazillion times around here. Yet so many are happy they didn‘t listen. Unfortunately I am not one of them. So give OP some credit for having guts. I am sure he‘ll be fine.
Next week, OP is gonna max out credit cards for BTC
OP is one step away from r/wallstreetbets and impulse buying a lambo when BTC hits $130k
It's also bad math. OP needs to outperform the market by his interest rate to break-even with where he'd have been had he just left it in his 401(k). To mention nothing of the tax drag he's created.
The tax man would be standing over my shoulder with their hand out. This could be a 0% interest transfer. OP was pretty light on details but I hope this gamble pays off for them.
The OP may be referring to the fact that the Grover's algorithm can reduce 256-bit security of symmetric cryptography to 128-bit.
I think OP found a multisig seed phrase on internet, he's trying to withdraw the balance shown. As soon as it puts money thinking it's the fee, the scammer withdraws that. OP fell for a scam
OP, I'm in similar situation as you. My checking & HYSA are in the same bank (Sofi). I get 3.6% APY on the cash. I invest in Bitcoin through a proper exchange such as Coinbase Advance or Gemini ActiveTrader. These 2 exchanges gave me the lowest possible fee when buying BTC (0.2% with Gemini ActiveTrader Limit order). Others may recommend Strike or River.com, which are fine but charge 1% fee on all buy. You can set up auto-invest (called DCA) that buy on a set schedule. DCA has no-fee on River & Strike; but price still a tad higher due to "spread". Since you're new, I'd recommend sign up on River.com & set up the auto-invest option. Try for a month then reassess your options.

I repeat: you're free to not store and relay metadata on your node. You're not free to not store UTXOs, as it breaks the blockchain. Thus, small OP-RETURNs lead to spam. What people put in UTXOs is outside of *anyone's* control. Thus, the correct phrase you're looking for is: Bitcoin is for your enemies. Please in God's name I beg you to hardfork Bitcoin. Free airdrop money for me!
I don't understand why this needs to be repeated over and over: Non-monetary data is already being stored in arbitrary sizes on the Bitcoin's blockchain without anyone's permission, split across several UTXOs if necessary. While OP\_RETURN can be pruned from thin nodes, UTXOs can't, leading to UTXO set bloat, making the blockchain larger, not smaller. Inform yourselves instead of just parroting the most convenient answer.
I've got a bit of OP as well, but it is small chunk and is only down 9%. That is practically a win right now
ARB - OP - ONDO Also under water, but not worried about: BTC, ETH, SUI, and wildly - VET ...
Optimism network changed everything. The ETH-Optimism network Superchain is the future of crypto in my opinion. ETH-OP Superchain

For a measly 1 Bitcoin I can get all your Bitcoin back. /s OP you a goof for this, just laugh at the comedic value of the situation and learn from it.
Second this, look again OP, I checked today and the “send” and “receive” option isn’t greyed out anymore and lets me set it up. Although I didn’t fully go through this process (already moved to Coinbase) it seems to be working now for NY residents. Let me know if I’m wrong though…
There has never been a drop of +70% in the span of ONE month. That would be considered a collapse and is not normal. I think you are misunderstanding my point of view. I'm not arguing that a collapse is happening. My point is that OP wants a collapse, but that is highly unlikely to even happen.
OP bet more than he could afford to lose.
Haha, why did you put that in quotation marks? But, no I am not an FA. Let me try this again, I think you're missing the bigger point of OP's post. Specifically that Fidelity is top 3 largest brokerage firm in the United States and has a very significant portion of its business coming from retail investors. There's a lot of people that use Fidelity for other investments and so it would be reasonable for them to try to utilize an existing brokerage account to trade Bitcoin. Currently, Fidelity's fees for any crypto trading are not competitive and compared to any of the top 10 Crypto exchanges in the United States. Making a statement to the OP of "How can you be upset with fees that you should know about before you used them in the first place?" is rude and akin to victim blaming. And I do think people that trade Crypto through Fidelity and are paying 1% each Buy/Sell are victims because those fees should be illegal. Your post came across to me as someone that was defending Fidelity for overcharging its customers and that's why I called you a tool. Maybe I should have called you a shill instead.
Close to an x8 from the bottom three years ago. But remember those influencers our poor OP listens to said it was going lower so was wise to not buy 🤡
Seems to me that OP needs to read The Bitcoin Standard.
Learn from your past mistakes OP and take some profits next time the market is bangin
Negative. I’m currently involved in a case with a known total around $700-800mil. They chose the hard route. Helped with research on a few other big ones. Watched several others unfold from the sidelines…. Never once have I seen anyone settle. Once you pay your team & deal with the costs associated with laundering, $10mil isn’t worth the headache. Plus the people involved in stuff like this are usually greedy bastards. All that aside, OP mischaracterized the story but it’s pretty likely this was the U.S. not hackers. It was a multi-national effort where funds were seized and more recently they were moved as international courts began their crackdown on Chen Zhi. I have a link to the story a few comments down.
Every time OP gets the urge, he looks at the Bitcoin price chart and immediately calms down.
I did not think it was necessary for a MOD to remove OP’s original post.
Good luck with the CEX off-ramp when you send crypto from DEX to exchange for FIAT. OP is right - users of CEX in EU are fucked - as soon as your funds touching self custody you get flagged for the whole AML/KYC treatment incl. frozen funds.
You’re right that the money doesn’t get stored anywhere — I’m using “enter” here in the sense of taking a long position on Bitcoin. The way I see it playing out is that monetary premium will gradually transfer from other scarce assets into liquidity and then into Bitcoin. That process would show up as sell-side pressure driving down the equilibrium prices of traditional scarce assets (gold, real estate, equities, art), with those proceeds converting to cash — and then that cash redeployed into Bitcoin, pushing its equilibrium price higher. In essence, people would be exiting long positions in legacy stores of value and entering long positions in Bitcoin. Credit expansion will likely play a role as well, but to meaningfully move a high-liquidity, high-volume asset like Bitcoin, the marginal liquidity will still need to come from elsewhere in the global economy. /u/Romanizer made a great point about the ratio between new money inflows and market-cap expansion. If Bitcoin’s market cap is currently around $2T, we probably don’t need another full $2T of net inflows to reach $4T — but what exactly is that ratio? That’s the key question, and while it varies by cycle, we can look to prior data for context. During Bitcoin’s 2020–2021 bull run, on-chain and exchange data suggested roughly $100–150B of net realized inflows corresponded to a $1T+ increase in market cap. In other words, the “market-cap multiplier” was on the order of 5–10x, not 100x or 1,000x. That multiplier reflects liquidity depth and supply inelasticity — most BTC isn’t for sale at current prices, so even modest new demand can push price up, but not in the wild, exponential way implied by the OP’s example.
The "cash register" in OP's scenario was $10. The additional was the fee to run the transaction.
Wonder what the prompt was -- but basically just ask ChatGPT -- why, in reference to the OP
Hopefully OP didn't lose much of Bitcoin.
I think something is missing in OP’s story. I was one of the early waves of Fidelity Crypto customers who could deposit/withdrawal crypto. They take 2 days to “verify the address”; withdrawals come with a fee, but will get confirmed within blocks. The 2-day withdrawal period (for a new address) has been one of the two pieces of feedback provided to them. The second piece is that when generating a deposit, you don’t get a new address. So you’re basically reusing addresses. The account integrates well with Fidelity’s website and mobile app. So….. it’s not paper bitcoin as long as you withdraw it from Fidelity 👍
It's November and OP is....ugh having a hard time.
Apparently OP invented this. Honestly I kinda like it? I’ll see myself out…
The bs story in the OP never happened.
You know how when you discover your gran has wasted 50k because "this guy tells me he can 10x" my money and you're like wtf gmaw? OP's not my gran (or is a ghost if so) but it must take some balls to be like "Woah, I fucked up bad", sure. It's also an advert to others that it's not "crypto", it's not Bitcoin, it's adding to the critical thinking required to not get fucked over. There's far too many of these posts and the point only gets hammered, not to diss OP's mistake, but for others coming along later, before the next sucker falls for some scam and loses their life savings / mortgage payment / rent.
It always bothers me how the OP is very honest about how stupid they were but you people still have to try and hammer the point
