Thanks for your really helpful answer that does nothing to address what OP is asking about
"I spent last summer studying bitcoin" what did OP study then? maths behind bitcoin?
Looks like OP is trying to pump his heavy bags of SOL.
Maybe. You can easily replace "buying a house in the 1950s" with any other asset that ballooned, but at this point I don't think it's worth debating the semantics of OP's title.
the fee is from robin hood impressively stupid OP
I agree with OP, great time to buy the dip
Of all the things to buy right now, ZEC is probably the absolute worst thing. It's not just because of the exploit, it's almost specifically because it's pumped 20x this year. I bought Kaspa right before last cycle began as it had been pumping through the bear, then when the bull started Kaspa crabbed the entire time while everything else pumped, and then fell off a cliff when the 2025 bear began. This is your future OP.
There’s a school of thought called “technical analysis” that’s a bit like pareidolia seeing faces in clouds. OP just saw two faces in the clouds
I'm not saying that anyone is right, or wrong, but the commenter was asking what OP meant about a double bottom and that's not what your reply explained
It's always convinent during violent downturns to see these posts. Very comical. I guess OP is correct if you leave out the fact BTC hit and OP (apparently) missed 120k, 100k, 90k and 80k.
Yeah and I was roasting OP. But you’re special I guess. Aww
I bought. I sold all between low $70k BTC and was 95% out at $110k BTC and 4.5k ETH. All that cash was in interest barring USDC. It is now 100% re invested between $68k to $60k BTC and 1.6-2k ETH. Not looking for opinions or tell OP what to do. No idea why I did it other than vibes
OP is older and wiser but still can’t figure out basic English grammar.
And you fail to answer anything just like OP. Stop harassing me lol I wasn’t talking to you, so why are you jumping in? You are the one who needs to get a life lol. No one is talking to you. Go away perv
I already know Bitcoin quite well. I am asking OP to explain it, as the post is super thin in detail. Did you think that I didn’t know Bitcoin? And that is why you are being so aggressive and annoying? lol, silly noob
Not at all. I ask for clarification as it is important for readers to understand what the post is actually saying. Hate? lol, it says nothing about that in this post. Conviction? Of what? For what? Needs to be clarified. Belief ***in what?*** These are things asked of OP. And OP can’t explain it.
Alright cool, at least you've got some stake.. because most of these shills pushing fud or hate don't have any skin in the game at all. Wonder about the guy you're replying to? Whats your stake, OP comment guy?
I’m asking OP You would know that if you read my comment
Well yeah that's exactly my point. To challenge the OP's one sided narrative to show how cherry picking data can be used both ways. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. I thought that was pretty obvious
Fundamental knowledge of the BTC network would tell you it can't be secured in the near future unless the price increases exponentially, which is impossible. If each coin is not worth trillions of dollars, with a market cap of quadrillions or quintillions of dollars, then it will become insecure and untrusted and worthless. Maximalists say *it will happen... because it must*, which is backwards thinking. The world doesn't owe you or Bitcoin anything. There is no real-world analogy like this. I guess it would be like saying a flushing toilet is a store of value as long as there's still water in the basin. OP is absolutely correct in saying Bitcoin can only exist during the best of times. That includes during its very limited issuance schedule which is used to pay for mining. This makes it a store of value similiar to say the S&P500, albeit a worse preforming one.
> Everyone feels the same, so it'll never 3x Such underrated comment. Before OP could ever have his money back I will already have a 10x because I buy altcoins cheap not at their peak..
This reminds me of a recent post in another sub where someone put their life savings (2k) into usd denominated ETFs with the expectation that it would earn them some pocket money in the short term. Then the us jobs data came out and usd denominated ETFs nosedived. Now that OP has no money. Well, they can sell at a loss (around 10%).
Have you ever heard about TP. Really stupid post OP
Again, a bursting bubble doesn’t mean that companies involved go literally bankrupt. There was a giant selloff. You and OP can both be right. There could be a giant selloff and AI might also be a hugely important technology bolstering some of the world’s biggest companies 2 decades from now.
OP do you also ask AI for advice on how to wipe your a$$
OP - if anyone learned from history, you would not enjoy the waves you do.
BTC is digital gold and IMO you should own some of both. All other crypto projects are nothing more than small teams trying to monetize their centralized network. Gold is an established store of value and should be respected as such. BTC is still in its infancy so volatility is to be accepted. Sure, initial intent is to be a medium of exchange but its behavior has mimicked gold more so than currency. And sometimes we just need to remember that a lot of these posts come from over invested, under diversified, highly emotional and impatient positions because in reality, this 5 years window from the OP is quite meaningless.
Yeah that sounds quite possible. OP didn’t even bother to interact with the answers given
Sparrow and Electrum are both solid wallets. Sparrow has one less dependency when connecting to your node than Electrum, and Electrum has a great UX (Sparrow's is not bad). Both are open source and have lots of eyeballs on them. Both are Bitcoin only which is a hard requirement. To OP, I recommend downloading either of these wallets and learn the ins and outs. When you move a nominally small amount of sats to it, burn a few sats in transaction fees just sending and receiving to addresses in your wallet. Get your seed phrase written down and then do this: uninstall your wallet software and delete it completely. Then restart your computer. Re-install Sparrow or Electrum and recover your funds from your seed phrase. Learn the core truth that your Bitcoin is **\*\*not\*\*** in your wallet or your signing device. Your Bitcoin is on the blockchain and your seed phrase are the keys that grant you access to them. This truth needs to be deeply embedded in your brain so that you know that if you lose your signing device, you have not lost your Bitcoin. But if you lose your seed phrase, or someone else gets them, then your Bitcoin is gone. Bitcoin is a sovereign bearer asset. The keys are the what needs to be protected. Chiseled into steel and stored safely. Sovereign bearer assets come with responsibility.
love getting a good laugh from threads like this- OP can’t even count, and people are throwing out ridiculous price targets based on bro science and Cathie Wood. You all seem to forget that the Nasdaq is almost at an all-time high. The last time BTC bottomed, the Nasdaq was about 60% lower than now, and sitting at a three-year low. BTC has plenty of room to go lower if, and when, this A.I bubble pops, and probably not much upside potential in the short term.
Ridiculous.. The cycles are trending lower gains. Next cycle I predict 150-175k. If we're very lucky. There could be no next cycle, anything is possible. Op made a terrible investment, that's ok. We can be honest and OP can learn. Let's not just white wash that every investment in bitcoin no matter the timing is good. Op will see 10% of the gains that someone who did their homework would see.
Hey OP, are you capable of writing anything without AI? Do you also ask it to help you wipe your ass?
Down from 82 to 60 Up from 60 to 62 OP: "Whoa whoa whoa, how is crypto doing so well? I heard it was going down"
I think I finally understand the core mechanism behind the “Franklin magic square + 6 hollow cards” puzzle. The important realization is that this is NOT just the classic binary-card magic trick. The six cards define a 64-state combinatorial system over the 8×8 board. Each number corresponds to a unique appearance/nonappearance pattern across the six cards: (32,16,8,4,2,1) So every number has a 6-bit signature. The crucial distinction (which the OP repeatedly emphasized) is: * the BACK of the seventh card corresponds to the 64 combinatorial states, * while the FRONT is an 8×8 perfect Franklin magic square. So the trick is actually a mapping: state vector → board position → displayed number The magician on the left could identify 38 without seeing anything because: * “I cannot find this number on any card” uniquely means the all-zero state, * i.e. 000000, * and OP intentionally assigned that state to 38. So the magician does not need the Franklin square at all — only the encoding rule. The deeper mathematical insight is the role of 20 and 26. OP’s hint says: > That means 20 and 26 differ ONLY on the 8-card, so their signatures differ by exactly one coordinate. This immediately determines the corresponding Back-side states and serves as the initial condition for reconstructing the whole mapping. That’s why 20/26 are so important: they collapse the ambiguity of the Front/Back correspondence. The impressive part is that the puzzle simultaneously satisfies: * unique 64-state encoding, * rotational overlay solvability, * Franklin-square symmetry, * and symbolic embedding of 89/64, 38, and 2026. So this is not merely a magic trick or a political allegory.
Enjoy being contrarian aren’t we? 1. Fundamentals change, people are allowed to reevaluate their investment. This is not a cult. 2. Irrelevant to OP’s question. Besides, you should diversify BEFORE allocating to a position, not when already deep in the red with said position . 3. YOU
I'm responding to OP's nonsense.
I was too lazy to write a response on behalf of OP, so I found an article instead: [https://www.galaxy.com/insights/research/big-companies-building-on-ethereum](https://www.galaxy.com/insights/research/big-companies-building-on-ethereum) I will note that the article mentions various projects, but doesn't do a great job of mentioning there size or adoption. For example, BUIDL a Blackrock ETH product has been around for a while now currently has a total asset value of $2.4 Billion.
Be honest, do you think OP even owns a ruler?
It's almost as if OP was incapable of printing out a chart of pricing data starting from BTC's origin, and then drawing a line using a ruler that bisects the highs and the lows to determine the trend. That would be wayyyy too difficult.
OP. What was your entry for bitcoin was it at under 20k. Are you up 300%. Highly likely no
Isn’t the point that nobody financially literate puts their bulk of investment in currency ? Yes you can compare its performance against stocks or real estate, but the OP so confidently proclaimed the existence of currency inflation as a killer argument when it’s pretty irrelevant.
Clearly we shouldn’t be taking OP’s advise on anything lol
Your out to dam stupid mind to even say that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 go take a nap dude. OP waiting on ya, his tip dry.
Laugh away. The 50s are coming and that’s when buying happens. Get off the tip of OP he clueless with his “buy now” bs.
Sorry the comment is fundamentally flawed. If we agree with the OP purpose of bitcoin is to free ourselves from fiat. Surely broad adoption is a key driver ? Why then would you want to “flush out the tourists ??”
The amount of Bitcoin mined per block halves every 4 years. If the price doesn't also double every 4 years, then miners will be getting paid less and less. In the 2040s, the block reward will be so low, that BTC will need to be worth millions per coin in order to have any sort of sustainble revenue. And then by the 2050s, each BTC will have to be tens of millions to get the same reward. As a cherry on top, the Bitcoin network only does 7 transactions per second. That is not nearly enough capacity to sustain the network on fees alone. So there is a conundrum. Who will run the mining infrastructure to secure "digital gold" if they have to do it at a loss? Hence why everyone predicts the obvious, that Bitcoin will be forced to abandon the 21m coin hardcap and implement a tail issuance such that there is enough BTC issued per block to be worth it for people to secure the network. So if Bitcoiners are told the 21m cap is not real, as the OP said above, then the religion would collapse.
You aren't OP, but sure, done! @$60,585
OP = Please please buy, I am secretly scared it will drop further. That is why me and all the other keeps posting positive posts to help you decide to buy!
I’m basing that on the Bitcoin power law. Conservatively, if we don’t see the next ATH until \~the next halving (April 2028), then it would be a statistical anomaly to ever go under 100k again (because the power law floor reaches 100k in February 2028) In other words I completely agree with OP that now is an excellent time to buy. And it will continue to be an excellent time to buy if we keep hugging the power law floor.
Dont listen to OP. He is just trying to cash out before lower lows.
I have been told multiple times that this is a bitcoin subreddit, I am aware. I don't think I am going to change anyone's mind on bitcoin. I am commenting because encouraging high interest loans to purchase bitcoin during this massacre is wild. You realize you are telling the guy who is warning you to not make that mistake, that he is a clown. Noone considers telling the OP that he is giving horrible advice? You are all that delusional? A fool and their money...
Compounding interest over 5-10 years under the assumption that you're holding a growth asset over time (ie we're not talking about a safe APR on cash/bonds so it's a poor comparision)—stake 100 and over 5 years you have an extra 13 ETH and 28ETH over 10 (adjusting for declining APR). I think comments like these assume that his is some kind of singular position, rather than just being one in a basket of assets (as OP seems to also indicate). I have more than OP staking but I'm also holding at an ETH cost basis under $10, but it's just one of many assets I'm holding (the majority non-crypto obviously).
Slashing isn't really a risk if you're not a bad actor and not running some crazy overly redundant setup while not knowing what you're doing. Lock up period also isn't a risk and only really exists when there's a lot of entering or exiting validators. It's very straightforward. If a little volatility is going to kill you then you shouldn't be staking that amount. Counterparty is really the only risk, but it's (and services like Rocketpool or Lido that introduce some actual counterparty risk or if you're "staking" through Coinbase or similar) been audited to high heaven and is a big enough pool at this point that that risk seems pretty minimal. I assume OP isn't talking about fake staking on services like Coinbase. Doesn't seem like horrible risk/reward either way, again assuming you plan on actually holding it long term.
apparently 2.8% return is interesting considering all the risk involved? How is it exciting? not poking OP specifically, in general, why someone is okay risking its asset for 2.8%, sounds terrible risk/reward to me.
Hey OP. Let’s make money. See ya in 2028-2029 when we are at the top.
Bro, you’re not replying to the OP. You’re out here role playing as an investor but don’t know how replies work on reddit

Hope this is the way. Thanks for the puzzle btw, My BTC Address is bc1qukagvhystlpx4fwknn0cz7rdz6nna83vjt2e7m
Did I or did I not answer OP's question? Did you or did you not answer his question? I mean what is the point of trying to attack people that are answering to OP?
OP, get out of here with ya scare mongering FUD crap. All the money going into this or that, it's so boring. GTFO
Nah mate, OP's just doing what we all do - leave when it hurts too much, come back when FOMO kicks in. The real diamond hands are the friends we made along the way... who also paper handed at the worst possible moment.
I was obviously referring to the timeframe that OP was referring to: ~5y. And during this time the returns are atrocious, especially compared to the risk/volatility and even more so compared to stock indices.
Oh cool. It’s dead. OP, make sure they update the site.
That’s a lot of words just to tell the OP he’s dumb AF
OP sounds hungry…let’s order a waaamburger and french cries
Please let us know when you're planning to buy next BUT WON'T OP 
I like that it got really close to 58k and jumped back up. Feels like it was to spite this post and OP specifically. Gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Someone call the waaaambulance for OP.
OP....just ....🙄 [](https://emojiterra.com/man-facepalming/)
I get it but still if BTC didn’t go up in value noone would be in it. Especially you OP (referring to the rainbow chart) What if it was the other way round? Started high and has only ever dropped in value since? 1 BTC still = 1 BTC I guess.
OP stop with reasonable analysis! We are here to panic sell!
And where does the rainbow chart predict highs and lows? Nowhere. Where does the Bitcoin chart predict cycles? Nowhere. Where does she rainbow chart say highs WON'T have dimishing returns? Nowhere. >In fact we're in the very bottom band at the moment (purple... 'bitcoin is dead.') Which means that model still holds true. You JUST said the model is broken.. but then you say it holds true SO FAR.. which is it? You can't even be consistent with your own stance. So we're are the bottom at the bottom of cycle.. shocker. >So now back to OPs question. No , we're not. And the OP presented a multiple choice answer... This falsely trying to control the narrative i.e. using a strawman. Frankly this discussion is boring, you've contracted yourself enough there not point in continuing. You do you. Sell or don't. Defend BS "algorithms" or don't. Maybe Bitcoin isn't for you.
The real question OP is do you have the over or under on the bubble lasting a year?
>you know you might be target to a home invasion? My hardware wallet is kept in a separate secure location, not at my residence. > Or fire might delete your backup if you don't have enouhh copies? My backup is engraved on metal, and I keep it in a separate location where it's impossible to be physically destroyed. >Or you may do everything right or still lose your holdings to the original software you use being outdated and was targeted by hackers I researched Trezor extensively before making it my hardware wallet of choice. As far as I'm aware, compromising it is not realistically feasible from a technical perspective. The real risk is usually the user being tricked by a phishing attack. >Nothing is %100. This is life. Sure, we could all be dead by tomorrow. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Anyway, my comment was meant to help the OP. If you think you have better advice, feel free to share it.
This…levels of hopium are rising with price declining. Probably first time for OP.
If you liked it at $124k you should love it at $60k. I understand OP is a troll post
Of course its better to lump sum wtf 😂 the only issue with doing lump sum however, is that the risk is the highest, which leads to things like what has happened with OP… I just dont understand the mindset of someone who takes ALL their money, and just full ports it into an asset in one lump sum… that is not risk management at all, nor investing, its just pure gambling, in my opinion.. which hey, some ppl hit the lottery and some ppl dont 🤷🏻♂️
Well, that was quite the reading, thanks for the time capsule OP
long-term hold OP. a wise man once said, "it takes longer than 30 second to get to Mars." or something like that.
😆 Exactly. OP's thoughts are the thoughts that we have to really pause and reflect when we have them. Like wait... am I being a dumbass?
If you were multi billionaire, OP, would you ?
OP, I was exactly where you are in early 2018. I went all in at the high of 2017. I held and had conviction, ignored all the FUD, the Governments, Banks, China, everything. I retired last August, on Bitcoin. I admit I had some coins from 2014, not many though, my main stack was bought in 2017. So, hang on in there, you will be fine as long as you hold.
>What a stupid answer! OP is asking Scott the present, not the future. Leave Scott out of this, he's done nothing wrong.
Unless OP is at the top of his financial bracket and going into the next bracket will cost way more then it’s worth 👀
4 year cycle is alive and well! OP start piling money into a high interest account, when September 2026 comes YOLO and go all in for one last Hurrah! Ride the wave up and sell when you smile at your account.
No. The point was to gather opinions about Bitcoins trend. The reply posted did not answer the question and attacked OP for asking. When an attack is a reply, one can assume the replies is triggered.
What a stupid answer! OP is asking Scott the present, not the future.
OP should tell us when they sell. It will be the exact bottom. @OP: listen, I know it's hard. But stick with it. Most people here are convinced we will hit millions including me. But no one expects a clean ride upwards. BTC did nothing out of the ordinary. If anything it follows the 4 year cycle eerily well. You bought the top. So what. The prices we have now were "extreme greed" top territory in 2021. Then it dropped to 16k. We pumped to 126k, and now the former high region is the price region many people check out. In 2030, the 120k region might very well be the bottom area that shakes people out of their BTC that bought in 29. Nothing fundamental changed. It's the same BTC you bought in October, the market it pricing it differently. Things will turn around.
Wow!! Thank you Sherlock for this answer. You are so smart! OP basically said that: "Sure, the simple answer is that there are more sellers than buyers."
If you are patient, you will certainly get your $20 back but it may take 3 weeks. Hang in there OP!
Yea OP must think breaching 60k means dropping into the 60s
Its not a mental shift its an IQ test. FTFY OP
Please don’t sell and crash the house of cards that OP has heavily invested into.
OP just learned what market making is lmao.
