I'm buying Microstrategy and Robinhood they have a good potential being linked to BTC

Carbonaraficionada

Yeah sure, if you can't borrow at a cheap rate, you can just print more right? There's the option of revealing gold too, I think that's the basis of the BTC Strategic Reserve bill or something. There's no bad ideas here guys 😉

facaila888

In fact, 90% of people really won’t hold for that long, unless you genuinely forget about the investment and only open it again years later. I bought BTC in 2018 and mostly ignored it afterward. Then in 2020, after seeing some posts and news, I sold it. I started buying again after 2021

Is BTC gonna die or fly today?

In 2011 I wanted to take out a 10K USD loan from my bank and go all in on BTC. I could not get the loan and never bought any. Would have sold most of it early....but probably not all of it. 😞 I might be misremembering but I think it was a few dollars at that point.

Buydipstothemoon

It's the same as in crypto where we had the BTC>Alts>Shit coin rotations. Here we are at the same with AI>Ram>SaaS and now throw some space in it.

When you hear about gambling addicts, the story often begins with a big win. The addict then proceeds with reckless behavior to try to repeat that first experience It’s great if you got into NVDA or BTC for cheap but I think you make a mistake if you think that is going to be repeatable. With that said, the choices aren’t “the lottery ticket play” and index investing. There are plenty of opportunities that present themselves where you can make better profit than S&P 500 and avoid the significant risk of the S&P 500

I can't take it anymore, should I liquidate my 4.259218 BTC and get into semis now? I have to pay taxes on these BTC tho

InvestmentBiker

2nd wave AI is fun, but don’t ignore the “picks & shovels” pivot: a bunch of BTC miners are quietly turning stranded rigs + cheap power into AI compute. That’s where the infra margin may actually sit.

thefox828

I sold AMD at 12$… Even not investing a lot, it would have been nice money. Also mined bitcoins back in the days and sold for ~700$. The price of BTC going to 700$ felt insane back then. It is what it is. Look forward and focus on things you can control.

Liquidity drying up - spreads are brutal- almost time to sheer the sheep- BTC was invented by the Fed as a liquidity proxy - full stop

What’s the valuation in BTC

c0horst

> The whole thing is also just quite a bit lazier and more transparent (for idiots) than it used to be. To speak to this point... I was big into crypto for a couple years doing Ethereum mining. I never actually bought crypto directly, it felt like there was a nation wide network being built to decentralize finance and the cool thing about it was anyone could get in on it. I started with my gaming PC mining, and added GPU's slowly over time until I had a full blown mining rig in my basement with like 18 GPU's. I literally was at the capacity of what I could safely put in my house. But it felt like I was participating in it, like I was helping build it, and I felt ownership of it because of that. Ethereum then went to proof of stake, basically cutting all of the miners out, so in order to participate in validation you had to lock tens of thousands of dollars worth of ETH into a validation server. I sold all my crypto, sold all my GPU's, and walked away with like $1000 in profit total because I didn't sell at the peak. > Even BTC itself has been totally reduced to a "line goes up because it goes up" Exactly. There's no more rationale at all behind any of it... it's just "of course it will keep going up" and there's no real reason why. There's no way to be more involved than to just throw money in and hope for the best. Instead of being something you can participate in, crypto is now just another speculative asset, no better than Kalshi.

Fun-Choices

ETH, BTC and DOGE (don’t ask)

Scannerguy3000

You sell covered call, selling those shares is just part of the risk. That’s the contract you signed up for. You got the premiums, you keep the premiums, and you sell the shares at a profit. What else do you want? You want all of this but also to never lose your shares because you want unlimited upside? That doesn’t exist. Everyone would do it. You can close at cost, if you think the upside will continue to cover the costs of BTC’ing your position. Or you can roll it forward a week or more, and try getting a credit while moving to a higher strike. If the move up was big, this may be hard to do, or you may have to go farther out in time. The only lever you have is the delta you choose. If you want lower risk, go further out. But then you accept lower premiums. That’s the game.

JoeyFreshagua

BTC is down 15% YTD, QQQ is up 20% YTD. How are you guys so fuggin clueless.

Medium_Beautiful_721

Waiting for that BTC gap down to confirm the market will follow. The leading indicator

GameOfThrownaws

The whole thing is also just quite a bit lazier and more transparent (for idiots) than it used to be. Prior to the past few years, crypto scams (including BTC itself, and its surrounding scams) used to always come with big lofty promises of "revolutionizing this" or "redefining that" or even entirely replacing actual currency and/or commerce. Those promises of "getting in on the ground floor" worked well on desperate rubes and a lot of money changed hands for basically nothing. These days there's none of that. Crypto scams in the current year pretty much amount to "just give me your fucking money, dipshit". Even BTC itself has been totally reduced to a "line goes up because it goes up", super obvious greater-fool-asset where the only people holding it are people hoping to flip it to some other moron on some meme spike.

Singularity-42

The BTC range for 2014 was $280-$920, so that was a really expensive door!

I figured out the significance of NVDA's CUDA and went big into NVDA as soon as I did (in at ~$15/share). But I'm also the same guy who was GPU mining altcoins and got paid in BTC by the mining pool, and sold my 0.85 BTC at the "high" of $800....SMH

_Nuke_the_Whales_

Bought a few hundred ETH between $8 and $12, along with about 5 BTC around $500, in 2016. Owned Nvidia pre 10-1 split at what would be $12.50 per share today’s equivalent Owned MU for a few years Bought Palantir around $15 per share I still own all of the above except Palantir, however, I’ve sold off 50-90% of the position and prices much lower than their current or peak (for crypto) prices. That’s just risk management. Take some money off the table on the way up

WhoElseButMe_

Trump can’t pump everything but BTC lol

Bigmoochcooch

Gold looks like it’s gonna dip. Could be a sweet buy in. (Risky: BTC looks like it’s crashing. Could buy an inverse etf. Definitely do not put more than 10% in this bet) Wheat futures look promising with the event of a El Niño forming Not financial advice just some stuff I’ve seen so far

Mmkeek

Yeah that's what I've been saying. It's not gonna rally crazy percentage like gpu, memory och Ai center stocks but it's sure as hell gonna organically recover from here. The share price a year ago before they announced their now former BTC strategy and got their 394 milj pipe investment was around 18$. Peak 2025 was early January at 34$. I'm gonna baghold my shares til we hit 60$

reality_hijacker

BTC is not NVDA, the level of volatility is way, way higher with BTC.

GoblinSarge

I got doge shib and cro... Not any better. I'm either going to just cash out or move it all to BTC. Not sure which.

Emotional-Breath-838

WGMI is a very, very volatile ETF that covers several of the data center players. But you need to understand that that's not how it started. WGMI was a fund tracking bitcoin miners. The bitcoin miners made bank when BTC was up to 125k per coin but then it plunged... just at the same exact moment that AI companies needed more data centers to meet the demand. And it takes a while to get permits, fiber, power, etc. so... The bitcoin miners that had massive data centers began to pivot. And now the top AI DC names are in WGMI. HYDR is another pivot ETF. It started with the hopes that everyone was going to "go green" and use hydrogen which was cleaner than other energy sources. The problem was that "green" lost favor at almost the same time that all of those data centers that you see started popping up and there wasn't enough power to ensure they could keep their chips cool so they went to the hydrogen guys and said, "Can we get your fuel cells for our DCs?" And now HYDR contains several of the top data center power related companies on earth. The WGMI and HYDR ETFs are WAY, WAY up and I expect that they'll continue to go up but I can almost guarantee that you'll get seasick on the ride wherever it leads.

Stock market rotation into BTC please. Let's stop manipulating the stock market

Imagine buying COIN, MSTR, BTC and never making money lol

BTC is like the worst of everything. captures every tick to downside, never goes up

A friend of a friend told me about Bitcoin at a wedding in 2011. He was in under a dollar. Had at least a few hundred of them then. Some years later when BTC was around $10K I noticed he was still driving his ancient VW Golf - the door is a different color from the rest of it. I asked him about his bitcoin thinking he must actually be quite wealthy now. He said they were stolen out of his bitcoin wallet.

Zuko2001

I'm looking at MSFT, META and COIN rn. Still not convinced but want to enter. COIN has pulled back a lot but has popped today even with BTC down seems a bit sus.

My only red one today is BTC 💀

Singularity-42

I had over 100 BTC over 10 years ago, bought around $200 and got out at $380. Would be generational wealth today.

Are regards really dumping BTC near year lows to pile into computer at top?

MaterialGuy007

If war ended why BTC hit over one month low????  Is that only one traders cannot fudge??

AlllHailJason

So you bought a call on a BTC etf?

That’s not what Iran says. They require payment in BTC for safe passage thru the strait.

WestyCanadian

I swear if i lost a few iQ points i would be a millionaire. Shoulda followed the hype with BTC as i was mining it when it first came out, but stopped once i thought it was dumb. lol

pooterssssssssss

Wanna know something funny? Crypto did NOT pump... BTC still down 3%... 73500 lolol

Logical_driver_42

I mean BTC is a great long term investment no one who’s held it 5+ years has ever lost money.

derprondo

Anyone that held past late 2024 goofed bigly. I sold all mine at $98k, put it all in VTI, and VTI is up 26% since then. If I had held the BTC I’d be down 25%.

Sufficient-Aide6805

Slow realization that BTC has nominal utility and all other coins are less valuable than tulip bulbs.

Potential-Rest2261

Trump hyped BTC it goes down I’m not in it but that shit it stoopid

dunk4899

Serious question, why do people still invest in BTC? Put aside the fact that it's manipulated, unregulated, and shady as fuck, it's only gone up 7% in 2 yrs, doubled in 5 yrs, and even from its lowest low to highest high over the last 5 yrs only increased \~600%. If you want high upside potential, there's much better options.

Reasonable-Dealer256

Debt gone. 658 BTC left on the balance sheet at ~$48m mark to market plus about $10m cash in the business so still trading around book value with the legacy semi business thrown in for free. These prices will seem like a gift in 6-12 months. 

GameOfThrownaws

>But I remember crypto sounding inevitable too. Metaverse too. ....huh? No serious person ever thought that the Metaverse was going to be some transformative paradigm shift. Obviously it wasn't impossible (they wouldn't have invested in it otherwise), but it was a pretty unlikely outcome. At absolute best it was clearly way too early, and at worst it was pretty much a straight up joke, at least from the outside. And as for crypto... just lmao. Did you get snowed by all the BLoCkChAiN conmen 5-10 years ago or something? By the time cryptocurrency hit the mainstream in the late 2010s, blockchain technology had already existed for 10 years and nobody had found pretty much any actual use for it or anything it materially improved on. Crypto has always been a solution looking for a problem, and these days, crypto scams don't even come with any shiny promises about "revolutionizing this" or "redefining that" anymore, like they all used to. Nobody even bothers putting in the effort. Now it's more like "just give me your money, dipshit." BTC remains an insanely overpriced "asset" but that's mostly just crypto fad leftovers and dumb gamblers propping that up anymore. Crypto only ever sounded inevitable if you got all your information from grifters and conmen.

Fun_Training6342

Nobody's gonna question what in the fuck is BTC on the board? And why would anyone pick a name that's reserved for a internet coin

Ahamadrayasbaboon

Because they anticipate higher returns and accept the risk? Nobody knows for sure what will win. I doubt it will be BTC, but I also don’t know for sure which stocks will beat it. 

Vast-Relief-2909

Respect, you actually called it before the herd showed up. I’m in IREN already but eyeing HIVE on the next red day, these miners about to move like leveraged BTC once halving hype comes back.

Why is BTC in the big board, I thought you regards were anit-BTC?

kal14144

Side note the only good bet on prediction markets is the bet where there’s a shitload of stupid people on the other side. Take a populist candidate like Massie or a meme like BTC and take the under. There will always be more Tards overestimating their salience than underestimating.

kal14144

Mr market knew I bet on prediction markets against BTC and wanted to reward me

tryingtohitchall

What actually happened to BTC these last 10 hours?

Immediate_Effect_895

Speak for urself. I bought insurance and my friend a scooter with BTC and we still stacking. Worst investment my ass. Don’t talk if ur not in the game.

Sandy_123456

Its hopping at $4.4 with BTC close to 75k. Time to hold just in case BTC soars, Hive’s gonna be double/triple. So its a game of patience, no rush for me

odanobux123

My friends and I bought at like 50 BTC worth of drugs back then. But I mean, it’s not like we were going to just hold the BTC til now 😢😢

VeryMercurial

These AI headlines are so fucking dumb lmaooo “Bitcoin falls further as BTC miners pivot to AI” NQ futures: -0.9%

kemar7856

MicroStrategy) holds approximately 780,897 BTC with an all-in cost basis of roughly $75,644 per coin. They've been accumulating aggressively-bought 13,927 BTC in mid-April alone at ~$71,902/coin, bringing their total position to nearly 4% of circulating supply. That leaves them sitting on about $14.5B in unrealized losses at current prices.

millenialismistical

Yeah I regret not selling my BTC last Sept due to taxes and then it dipped and never recovered.

Crysack

Hate to break it to you, but BTC isn't the crypto of choice for sanctions-busting and illicit oil trading, stablecoins are. Nobody wants to launder funds using BTC because of the volatility and slow transaction speed. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Russians have historically used stablecoins, not BTC, and there's no reason to believe they're going to stop now. USDT and its ilk have the benefits of: a) Being backed by USD (allegedly, although the belief is at least widespread enough that USDT is treated as a USD proxy) b) Can be readily liquidated through crypto-to-fiat off-ramps in jurisdictions that have lots of USD sitting around (see: Cambodia) At the end of the day, everyone wants the greenback and proxies thereof.

adirtysocialist-

It's not the next MU or SNDK but good luck. They are customers of those companies and build AI servers. CRSR is to AI as MARA and RIOT are to BTC.

hallett21

BTC see ya!!!!!

adirtysocialist-

Correct. Now they're building AI servers, apparently. They are customers of other companies and use their parts to build servers the same way MARA and RIOT build BTC mining machines...sort of.

savingstrainagain

BTC 74k 😄😅😂😂😂 Mike saylor moon

SubduedWeed

BTC still 74k too high

ljungbergsghost

Let me guess. In heavy on BTC GME AMC and BBBY?!?! I know just a lucky guess

adirtysocialist-

Yup. They are a customer of those companies, and plan to build servers, not even remotely the same. Kind of how MARA and RIOT build BTC mining machines.

swampassOG

I need that next leg down on BTC Let's see some pain 😢

fan_of_hakiksexydays

I mean, the need for non-banking, self control/custody, decentralized money is always gonna exist. And BTC will always be around. Hopefully all the stupidity surrounding BTC and all these shitcoins are gonna die.

theWesternReserve

BTC to zero

fan_of_hakiksexydays

I'm still a bear...but only for crypto. It seems like every time chips and AI have another great performance, BTC underperforms. Which gets more and more people to drop crypto and jump on the chips and AI train. Which makes them pump more from the money coming in, while BTC drops even more from all the money leaving. And it becomes a vicious circle.

Scalpaholic

Is everyone cashing out BTC for SpaceX?

Still_Theory179

Decentralized finance is basically a failed experiment at this point, it's involved into a fintech industry eg very much centralized 'decentralized' exchanges and platforms (eg Hype) which all have program upgrade keys and are operating successfully due to an administration who is happy to look through the lack of KYC. BTC is has also disappointed and underperformed for years but maintains a niche spot in the market.  The hacks and security issues have further fueled the loss of users.  As a once crypto hopeful it's been sad to see but we have to face the reality 

Taraih

Normal bear market. BTC and Crypto will be back in 1-2 years and everyone will cry they didint buy

cinJESUS

BTC dogshit performance 🤣

Look dude. I'm bullish on BTC and I do plan to buy MSTR Leaps (probably not till the end of this this year though) but this is just ridiculous. Waaaaay OTM

>Jan 2028 >when BTC is at 500-700k$ Lol.

Why not just buy BTC then? 

Neel_Crashkari

BTC proxy play now. Sad

DufflebagJoe

It’s astonishing that BTC hasn’t gone to 0 yet.

BangBangOw

I held it for 5 years and every time that bitch ran it’s go down 80% I was tired of holding it and watching my gains go back red. Then ofc 60 days later as BTC went down some too green only lol

MsqrLn

Schwab is not a good comparison for Robinhood, IBKR is a better comparison for the metrics you’re using, Hood has a crypto problem right now, even with the price of BTC moving up, their transaction volume has not, I think the quick 10x opportunity has passed, it was a good buy under $10, trading at below cash on hand at the time, the stock can still do well over time, just not the quick money wallstreetbets are after

CuteHand

BTC mining companies that are pivoting into AI like RIOT, HUT, CIFR, APLD, IREN- they have the infra already AND they are holding BTC for the next bull run

AwkwardObjective5360

You really should be holding BTC and Im considering buying more, its at the low point in its appx 4 year cycle

QTpieme

Reminds me of people buying BTC AT 125k

derprondo

I was just looking at my kids’ college fund account that’s all VTI and funded by selling all my BTC in late 2024, it’s up 26% and if I had held the BTC I’d be down 25% instead.

helloWorldcamelCase

They have recipe for success but financial sector is performing like hot garbage and their association with BTC, the weakest risk asset atm, doesn't help either. With 35 PE despite disappointing earnings print, lot of success is already baked in and I anticipate a year of lumpiness ahead, although I agree they will eventually come out of it strong.

Illustrious-Boss9356

If they kill you they can take your safe storing your gold and bust it open. If they kill you they cannot access the private keys to your BTC.

patkk

BTC clears all of these, it was a once in a century investment. Literally worth like 0.00099c when it started

Crazy_Donkies

I'm already in September calls and 1300 shares.   Their last quarter was still quite profitable with slow BTC sales and a stock market pullback. Well this quarter is record stock market.  I predict a good quarter.
