SPY

foxroadblue

Already back to 104K. Pretty annoying it rallies less than SPY

Sundance37

Meh, if we are all being fair, bitcoin people seem to want to only talk about bitcoin. And there is already a place for that. If every single investing subreddit were all talking about bitcoin, all of the time, life would be far less interesting. Although it would be great for bitcoin. But just let them talk about their SPY holdings and we can talk about bitcoin.

cryptoNcoffee

Here’s the reality. It costs millions, if not tens of millions, to get all of the regulatory licenses, authority fees, employee infra, etc., to get a legit RWA platform. So far I’ve seen a a few well funded ones like BackedFi. They don’t have a token just RWA tokens on chain like SPY etc. pretty cool. Personally, I’m not using any RWA anything until I see a few years of a protocols success with billions TVL

Lol. Someone Just bought 10mil Puts for SPY, prob a Trump Insider. Yall are so delusional, No run will Happen while Trump is Here

Similar_Scar7089

If you'd have DCA into bitcoin or SPY over those cherry picked 4 years, you'd still be far better off buying bitcoin

Similar_Scar7089

If you DCA into Bitcoin and SPY for the past 4 years you'd have 50% more if you invested into bitcoin.

Fun-Sundae4060

Because it clearly looks like none of you realize where the money is coming in from to buy BTC? Lmfao. It’s braindead to not realize that bullishness in the stock market will pump all risk assets. If the SPY and QQQ cross 200SMA or China trade deals are announced, BTC will pump. It’s that simple 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

xtexm

If you HODL until a million, pull out and put it on margin with a broker, you now have $200,000. That could go into any of the numerous BTC yield products. BITO MSTY YBTC etc etc. By that time, there should be another 200+ competitors, and anything that’s NOT Bitcoin related, (SPY) will look like bonds. Flat, stable, and not worth it.

jacd03

That dump on SPY last 10 minutes lmao from 570 to 563. Meanwhile ETH pumping.

nickjsul4

VOOG, SPY, or any asset that has been around long enough and proven to be solid investments. Take a smaller portion and put it into bitcoin seeing as though it’s a higher risk asset. If you want to risk blowing $25k instead of growing that money for your kid, you probably shouldn’t be gambling in the crypto space with it. Maybe read a some books on investing instead of ask in people on Reddit what to do with your money? Can even make sound financial decisions but is having children. Sounds about right on this sub.

MrSir6t4

You can get a better return than SPY by HODLing and you can go outside and touch grass.

Past_Hotel_5987

More risk on SPY than the risk of altcoins, let's admit it.

Squirrel_McNutz

Not sure how safe of a bet the SPY is anymore

jamjam794

10-20% for the risk? naah. min 30-40% CAGR on average. if i want 10% i can make a save bet with SPY. crypto is here to stay, yes. but altcoins are still a gamble on its own level.

narrowbuys

3 week old account, probably a spy for $SPY

Neither SPY or VOO are better returning than Berkshire

The137

SPY is a ticker, and a version of the SP500 which is the biggest 500 companies in the stock market combined. Its a good view of the market as a whole The Mag7 (Magnificent 7) are the the companies absolutely dominating the market, its more of a nickname because theyve grown so big - Nvidia Meta Tesla Amazon Google Microsoft Apple The SP is a fairly constantly rotating list while the mag7 is not. If Tesla continues to fail we may start hearing about the mag 6 instead, or if btc hits a new all time high we may start hearing about the mag8 with the addition of something like MSTR.

Longjumping-Bonus723

SPY will crash BTC

looneytones8

Clearly you have never seen SPY priced in bitcoin because it’s been crashing for the past 16 years. Neat.

sreaka

Fuck Berkshire, they don't even pay a dividend, just buy SPY or VOO if you want a better returning ETF without the need to lick Warren's butt. Sees Candy, nothing says Boomer more than that.

WasKnown

Not sure how that's relevant at all but it's an undeniable fact that ETH has tanked at a time when the SPY and BTC are up significantly year over year. You can look at other assets too, like gold. A good asset over time will trend up. ETH has not.

Moist_Bass_5823

QQQ STF and SPY coming

biba8163

> ETH performed second best at the current time. So you only want to compare ETH to Shitcoins that lose money? ETH has an annualized return of 3.3% over a ~7 year period. It's a toxic non-performing asset. You could have mad more money in U.S. Treasuries staking fiat at zero risk than holding ETH. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 24.93% | QQQ | 16.82% | GOLD | 13.26% | SPY | 9.91% | ETH | 3.3%

BitcoinBaller420

Good point. I looked into this more and found this WSJ article from 2020 talking about Tesla not being included due to the committee: [https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-tesla-was-left-out-of-the-s-p-500-11599579707](https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-tesla-was-left-out-of-the-s-p-500-11599579707) The article improves my "at least 500m in SPY" estimate, ballparking the funds that passively track the index at 11 trillion dollars at that time. It means Strategy inclusion would result in 10 figures of price-insensitive buying, which Saylor will turn one way or another into bitcoin. Good to know not to bet the farm they will be included at the first opportunity though.

BitcoinBaller420

And still 20% below all time highs. Only 6-7% away from Strategy joining the S&P500. When this happens, It will enter the index already inside the top 100 companies... index funds are going to need to buy a lot of shares to balance the index. Total S&P500 market cap \~50T. The SPY ETF alone is about $500m market cap, or roughly 1% of the equity of these companies. If a $100b company enters the index, it creates $1b of price-insensitive demand for the shares. just from SPY alone. If that demand drives up the share price, they need to buy even more. Yet another fly-wheel driving bitcoin adoption engages.

BitcoinBaller420

Judging by the volume data, lots of bitcoiners are taking this advice. In the week after "Liberation day" April 2nd, SPY volumes spiked 3x at least (source: marketchameleon). Bitcoin volumes don't show any obvious change during this period. Bitcoiners dgaf they refuse to panic sell. We picked up a lot more quality hodlers last cycle and they are paving the way for another big move up with this behavior.

Not so fast. The correlation argument is taken from velocity, yes. But on the sixth month, the SPY is -12% while BTC is +30%. There is much more going on right now than when it was a risk on, speculative, asset.

BitcoinBaller420

SPY down 3% and falling as I write this. Bitcoin up nearly 3% day over day.  Let’s keep some perspective here this is an incredible Bitcoin performance.

Reminder to NOOBs that BTC behaves completely different than other classes. BTC zig zags from ~0.5 to ~0.75 correlation to the S&P and NASDAQ to spiking to negative correlation every few months which is oftentimes when it makes its biggest moves up or down. - July 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC tanks. - January 2024. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC pumps big. - October 2023. BTC has a NEGATIVE correlation to the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. BTC pumps big BTC is Digital Gold but it does not follow Gold. BTC closely follows the stock market until it doesn't. BTC divergence is why it has outperformed the S&P, NASDAQ, Gold over long periods (7-years) even when it has been a large marketcap of over $250 Billion. - BTC is THE diversifier for out-performance in your portfolios. - Shitcoins are Toxic Assets for under-performance in your portfolios. Shitcoins have a parasitical dependency on BTC, historically have ~0.90 correlation with BTC, under-perform BTC, under-perform S&P/NASDAQ, under-perform Gold, under-perform Treasuries and most of the successful ones are guaranteed to make you lose money. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 22.19% | QQQ | 16% | GOLD | 11.3% | SPY | 10.8% | ETH | 1.1% | ADA | -8.5% | XRP | -9.25%

fubar_giver

3 months since the new administration and SPY is down 13% DOW is down 11%, BTC is down 18%. It's holding better than most crypto and certainly some individual stocks, overall its not looking much better.

warriorlynx

That's an argument I don't necessarily accept, it's a speculative store of value at this point in time, it's best hedge is clearly against altcoins especially during a bear market. There is some correlation with other assets/index funds like SPY. I have yet to see hard evidence that it's a hedge against anything else

Just-a-demon

If you have a 6 month emergency fund of savings tucked in a HYSA, then by all means; go 100% into BTC. You could also simultaneously DCA the SPX/SPY just to be safe

WasKnown

Even if 99% of SPY gains from the last 12 months were from 1 stock, US equities - that stock still would have severely outperformed ETH. Also, BTC is definitely a risk asset and it’s up significantly as well. I am not saying ETH never has another moment (just look at XRP) but I am saying that holding ETH was undeniably a mistake for the 2023/2024 bull market.

qwertydcf

no im basing it of SPY that lost 100 points in 2 month on the day 18 Feb. Thats insane and a major buying opportunity imo. You can do whatever u want, fomo buy in, you will never catch the bottom.

qwertydcf

Everybody here only cares about profits. But lets be real, SPY is down 100 points since Feb 18, this year. So 2 months. Thats insane. I say it agian 100 points, IN 2 fucking MONTHS. Could it drop more yes. Could this be the best buying opportunity in years YES. So why pussy out. And i know this is crypto blabla SPY = Bitcoin / they move the same.

biba8163

> The imbecile mindset... to buy more eth I wholeheartedly agree with this take - ETH is an non-performing asset mid/long term. If dummies want to make LESS money taking MORE risk, than ETH is an excellent choice - If you want to earn more than ETH at ZERO risk, then you can stake FIAT which guarantee ~5% returns. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame with relatively large marketcaps* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21.19% | QQQ | 16% | GOLD | 11.3% | SPY | 10.8% | ETH | 1.21%

Evanbm2003

Yeah I see what you’re saying, but it is still so impressive that BTC is holding up this well. If this stuff had happened like 6 years ago BTC would have dropped like 50% when the SPY goes down 15%. We’ll see what happens in the future. But hey, QQQ is down -7.00% this month and BTC is up +0.08% 👀

Dazzling_Marzipan474

Ya I have incredibly bad timing sometimes. I also sold my last SPY stock put on 4/1. The day before You know who crashed the market. 😂 Can't complain tho, made a little money.

Bitcoin is nothing special anymore, just another stock. It moves exactly like SPY, and is slow as fuck. 40mins for 1 transaction. There are sooo much more better coins in the Market. Whoever says othervise never tryd to buy anything with Bitcoin. 2025 and have to wait 30-45 mins for my btc to come.

biba8163

I am not saying gold is not going to outperform but I wouldn't bet on gold. Gold has artificial scarcity. Gold production tends to increase to meet demand/price. - After gold peak in ~1980, Gold prices were down for over 20+ years. - After gold peak again in ~2011, gold again was down for 7-8 years. You're buying gold now, there is a good chance you are buying at or near the peak again. It takes time investment, mining, infrastructure to be put in place to meet demand/price and after that gold prices staganate for years. Still, since BTC became a large cap with over $250 Billion marketcap in 2017/18, it still has outperformed gold by a lot over a ~7 year time frame. - Comparing 2017/18 ATHs of BTC and ETH over a ~7 year time period which is a good reference point because the S&P 500 doubles every 7 years providing an annual return of ~10%. - BTC outperforms S&P 500 and Gold - ETH is absolute dogshit performance with 1.5% annualized return lagging even U.S Treasuries - Alts. XRP was the only other large cap Alt that reached $100 Billion marketcap, and it's returns a negative annual return over long time frames. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21% | QQQ | 15% | GOLD | 11% | SPY | 10% | ETH | 1.5% | XRP | -9%

MixtapeNostalgia

Average annual return for BTC is something like 80% and that is just since 2015. Fuck SPY lmfao. The dollar is dead. If you care more about SPY than BTC you're already living in the past and are beyond delusional.

mdnz

50% conservative, lmao That’s around 6 times as much as a regular fund like SPY. Try 12-15% if you want to be conservative and that’s already pretty aggressive at these prices I’d say.

xx123234

These posts keep getting more weird YTD SPY - 9% BTC - 14% Gold + 22%

mollylovelyxx

This volatility is pitiful and trash. This asset used to move so much. Literally SPY moves more than BTC now. Someone tag me if we have a 10% day up or down I don’t even care at this point. Until then I won’t even look at the markets and am more interested in watching the PGA masters game than this (I never watch golf)

SocialSuicideSquad

Survive yes. But in a real recession (2020 did not count) I expect BTC to perform far worse than the indices... Even in 2020 it drilled twice as hard as SPY.

SocialSuicideSquad

Resilience during the COVID crash? The fuck you say From Feb highs BTC drilled ***70%*** while SPY dropped 33%. It has pumped like crazy on low interest rates and cash injection, but it's never seen a real recession... The next year or three should be interesting.

b1mm3rl1f3

Yes I think BTC officially decouples in 2025. The first signal was the Chinese yuan pouring into BTC as it falls to lowest levels in 18y (BTC reserves on exchanges are already extremely low). Then I caught a tweezer top on the $DJI 12M + a climbing 10y + imploding equity market just shows the extreme stress. Then we printed a great CPI this morning with 0 response to the data. Doesn’t add up. These huge stock rallies are also classic bear market behaviours. I think ppl will think the buying opportunity is in stocks, when they drop, but it isn’t. $SPY won’t see another ATH for a long, long time imo. They have to save bonds therefore stocks must crash and BTC flies

qwertydcf

You just know something is really wrong when SPY is just a pump and dump, like a memecoin. This will end so bad, please one big more pump so i can sell this shit.

Capable-Commission-3

Bro…Even now with the Orange Crash SPY is up 109% over five years. Google is up 176%, Amazon is up 95%, Microsoft is up 142%, Philip Morris is up 101%. It’s fairly easy to guarantee 100% returns in five years. Just have to average 20% a year for five years. Berkshire Hathaway has averaged 56% gains annually for the last 25 years and over 33% annually for the last five years. These aren’t obscure, insider picks. These are well-known stocks that are in every 401k in America. 1,000% returns is much more ambitious. Few companies can do it and it’s not a sure thing. Nvidia is the most well-known to have recently done it, being up over 1,300% the last five years. But TSM and BABA, I suspect, will both 8-10x in the next five years.

SomeTimeBeforeNever

This ain’t no dip lol this is just a wee tremor of the tsunami that’s about to wipe out half of SPY.

Opposite-Car2809

See you guys in one month later when SPY drops another 90& and ETH skyrocketing to 90000!

dreamwave94

Bitcoin 6% in 1 year. SPY down -4.5% in 1 year.

AwareChair6095

Fair point, though you're cherry picking the top from 2021 and a severe dip in 2025. My benchmark is actually SPY. So far, we're outperforming SPY over that time period by about 2x. I'm expecting BTC to outperform the stock market for a few more years, as it may suck monetary premium out of other assets if adoption as digital gold expands. After that, gains will likely roughly keep up with economic growth.

chanmalichanheyhey

at this point crypto might as well have been leverage SPY

biba8163

Shitcoiners like you like to use copium math by cherry picking a time when an asset -95% to the lowest value to show it performs great. See ETH, XRP, ADA and all the shitcoins that are still at 2017/18 prices or lower. Or when a shitcoin have little to no value and was a small marketcap. **Investors that make money like to hold assets that consistently appreciate over the long term so we look at ATHs.** - Comparing 2017/18 ATHs of BTC and ETH over a ~7 year time period which is a good reference point because the S&P 500 doubles every 7 years providing an annual return of ~10%. - BTC outperforms S&P 500 and Gold - ETH is absolute dogshit performance with 3.24% annualized return lagging even U.S Treasuries - Scams like ADA, XRP actually result in losses over long time horizons **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 21% | QQQ | 15% | GOLD | 11% | SPY | 10% | ETH | 1% | ADA | -9% | XRP | -11%

Who is whining? I took out a stack of December puts a month ago on SPY because this was the next obvious move for the market 🤣🤣 You see whining when it's simply facts so in turn you've indicated this hit you emotionally..

ElPeroTonteria

A few points. I look at the charts, I see BTC holding strong AF by comparison to the greater market. I don’t expect BTC to just be a magical lifeboat that never dips. What I do seem to see is, over a multi year timeline BTC outperforms everything else. Every time the markets correct it happens violently. Every time it’s the end of the world. I was trading SPY when the circuit breakers hit so much that trading was stopped for the day a few years ago. 6mo later it’s gonna hurt to look back and see where u made mistakes trading that dip.

Looks that way, I should have bought more SPY buts on Friday.

mzking87

Because market is highly volatile right now, everyone expects market to dump any given day much higher than usual, hence pricing of options in general is really expensive and returns much smaller than usual. Usually buying SPY options with 0 day expiry will yield high returns if markets move +-1% or higher. Right now that’s not the case.

qwertydcf

SPY went from 620 to 505 points in 1-1/2 months. Thats the biggest drop ive ever seen in my lifetime, worse than corona. So if we bounce back Monday we "might be okay", if we drop more panic will break out.

fefefufufe

Coupled with expectations of Monday SPY dumb not surprising at all

Longjumping-Bonus723

True. Usually when SPY goes down 1%, BTC goes down at least 3%. This time SPY went down 5% and BTC was like fuck you I'm fine :)

LetWinnersRun

If you look at the implied volatility of the Bitcoin ETF's you will realize that Bitcoin is no more volatile than individual stocks. Yeah it's more volatile than SPY or QQQ, but individual stocks not so much.

Graymatter-70

BTC is up 4.7% from Election Day, yes. But it is down 24% from its high. While that drawdown is not as much as the SPY and QQQ declines it’s still pretty bad. Meanwhile, Gold is up 13.8% from Election Day. It, too, gave back some this week, but holding up much better as a true store of value.

El_Peregrine

I can’t recall the numbers off the top of my head, but since the election, BTC is up > 20%, Gold 10%, Commodities generally flat or up 1-2%, and SPY/QQQ/Equities down significantly. Sometimes it’s easy to miss long term trends, but something has been cooking these past 6 months. 

Butter_with_Salt

It's absolutely not just 1 day. Just compare the SPY and BTC charts. Compare both of their prices today to 1 year ago.

Last time the SPY was this low, Bitcoin was 49k, thats… interesting

MansSearchForMeming

I'm honestly surprised it didn't shit the bed more. This is a massive shock to the economy and BTC is still where it was a couple days ago. I'm already way overweight BTC, but the outlook on stocks and bonds for the foreseeable future is grim. I might move a chunk of my SPY money into IBIT.

GenXDad507

I guess. One day isn't a trend though. Just look at the past 5 days and SPY / BTC charts are still heavily correlated.

I'm pointing out that the volatility of btc in regards to the movement of SP500 is decreasing. The past few econ shocks had SPY down 2% and BTC would drop 4% in kind. The pattern indicates that btc could increasingly be becoming a hedge against economic recession like gold. In regards to Liberation Day, the market chose BTC over SP500

Yes, "and this time it's different" "If you're scared to invest, just put your money in SPY" These old chestnuts no longer apply

Not holding as well as SPY.    Not to mention gold, the actual thing, is +0.71%.

This is the first test to see if bitcoin can ever fluctuate independent of the stock market, like gold. Previously, it hasn’t. But so far it’s down 5.8% this week while SPY is only down 4% and gold is only down .8%. So I wouldn’t hold my breath or say it’s necessarily holding well.

SPY is like 200 % up in the last 7 years. You guys are stupid it hurts.

> comparing their loss from ATH is bad data to prove your point. Coping Shitcoiners like you like to use copium math by cherry picking a time when an asset -95% to the lowest value to show it performs great. **Investors that make money like to hold assets that consistently appreciate over the long term so we look at ATHs.** - Comparing 2017/18 ATHs of BTC and ETH over a ~7 year time period which is a good reference point because the S&P 500 doubles every 7 years providing an annual return of ~10%. - BTC outperforms S&P 500 and Gold - ETH is absolute dogshit performance with 3.24% annualized return lagging even U.S Treasuries - Scams like ADA, XRP actually result in losses over long time horizons **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 22.19% | QQQ | 16% | GOLD | 11.3% | SPY | 10.8% | ETH | 4% | ADA | -7.5% | XRP | -8.24%

Honestly at this point it’s BRK.B, with the current fuckery it’s destroying commonly held wisdom like SPY and sit on it.

I bought 10k worth of SPY 5 years ago, and now it's worth $18k plus dividends...

Finally someone who knows economics. Too many people here are delusional because they only think about making money here, not using their senses to make investments for their future. The markets are going to remain low when it's being manipulated by economic policies such as tariffs to push more people out, and for other delusional economic interests. Our President thinks he can bully his way into making countries buy our stuff when they and ourselves rely on China. The markets including crypto do not respond well with uncertainty, people who keep saying the Crypto market shouldn't be affected are delusional or naive. Everything is connected within the market, if SPY is down, best bet most of the time means Bitcoin is down too.

So many still don't get it. The world has just entered an economic war. People are worried, and in their asset sales, they are proving to the world what they value and what they don't. It's easy to go on a message board and say "I love bitcoin", it's hard to actually hold it when you're afraid everyone else might sell, or you're worried your job might be at risk. Those are the times when bitcoin displays its progress towards top dog #1 global reserve asset. The thing people BUY when they are scared and want SAFETY. Look at this bitcoin move. SPY is down 3.5% after hours, this is a macro move over major world events. Bitcoin is down maybe 5% in this time, and that's after a nice rally beforehand. Now think back a couple cycles. Big macro move? Probably you're looking at bitcoin down 15% or more. Then it was 10%. Now it's 1.5x. Yes, it's still early, bitcoin is still priced as a levered-risk-on asset by the incremental seller minute-to-minute. But those sellers are running out, and all that's left in their place are the market makers and their trusty models that have been so profitable. You can bet a lot of bitcoin selling in the last few hours are exactly these guys, they say SPY down 1% sell bitcoin until it's down 3x based on correlations. But bitcoin is valuable precisely because these correlations are breaking down over time. You don't even have to have a very long time horizon to see that bitcoin is holding its value better than traditional assets during a time of uncertainty. That drives adoption. I'm not a Saylor fan-boy, but he's right about at least one thing: The models are broken!
