Send me $2m BTC and I’ll scuba dive for mines

Snowman33001

Yes, I believe that is true. And seems BTC is gaining adoption at least in terms of “mainstream” banks like the new Morgan Stanley spot BTC ETF MSBT. Interesting times.

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

I mean, no matter what happens to BTC, Strategy is safe for like 2-3 more years no? Due to the way their debt is structured & their cash pile to pay dividends with

No_Cod972

I think just increased willingness to risk it for that wildly attractive 11.5% yield. Could be a hit product if BTC doesn't blow up.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

Damn I bought wednesday Q puts today. After looking at the aftermarket pump my weekend is ruined. I will switch between the weekend Nas and BTC chart.

Comparing BTC to other crypto is like comparing dollsr to Iranian currency 

stocktwitmike

It isnt centralized though, no one government or entity has control over it, there is a public ledger that everyone can see every transaction and it camt just be printed, n u can just transfer BTC from one to another or yea convert it to the local currency 

PulIthEld

16 years ago, 10.000 BTC got you a couple of pizzas, today it gets you 350 ships through the Strait of Hormuz… progress..

Newlife_40

Iran is accepting toll payments through the strait but only in BTC. The accounts can’t be frozen or seized. This is big time for BTC

Significant_Speed854

Especially with all their new BTC

flyingdorito2000

They gonna pay their citizens in BTC? Come on bro be real

DiamondG331

So we will never return to pre-War numbers..after there is no War? The numbers may not be exact or currently accurate it’s the hypotheticals that Iran could hoard BTC and cause it to spike way up.

DiamondG331

I call it a hypothetical proposal, the purpose of the post was to discuss crypto ETFs to play a potential bull run in BTC.

PaulblankPF

So when you sell your BTC to buy other things what do you do? Turn it into fiat anyways and take part of centralized banking. As more countries and wealthy people horde it the more centralized BTC becomes even. I’d say the dream of most BTC holders is that it becomes the main currency and becomes THE centralized banking system.

EastEndExpert

You think they’re actually holding BTC on their balance sheet?

Mean-Evidence-4056

So BTC only up because Iran wants it as method of payment, the one thing everyone criticized that criminals use BTC for is what keeping this thing up amazing.

DiamondG331

Well now they want BTC

TheDeHymenizer

if they're taking it as $2M USD doesn't it not matter or would have limited effect? Since if it lasts 6 months and BTC goes to $200k it'll only take 10 coins to pay the toll rather then 27?

DiamondG331

I don’t want this to happen but if it did, BTC will explode!

Prestigious-Craft251

Way before they’d use BTC

they_call_me_him

This some low iq highschool drop out cope. They are not dealing in BTC. Keep holding your bags

Proof_Watercress8696

They just said crypto not BTC. And they’ve been getting tolls mostly with Yuan, this post is severely misguided.

DiamondG331

BTC lightning network is near instant. Maybe 10-mins max? I only have ever used SOL because it was super cheap and fast.

Oaker_at

I don’t think that they will „gamble“ on higher prizes if they’ll get those BTC „for free“. There is just no reason to for a country during an active war. Imho

DeathEnducer

How long does a BTC transaction take these days? 1 hour?

Oaker_at

If true wouldn’t that mean that they will be the biggest sellers of BTC, not buyers?

Zimoula

BTC is up cuz that’s why they use to pay for ships at the Strait lmao

Time_Independence355

BTC is green and indexes RED? MM are confused AF

Jake-And-The-Fatman

Reset = Sell Dow, buy oil and BTC. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Jake-And-The-Fatman

Heard Iran is asking for BTC. Guess better buy more BTC.

Even_Sugar6852

Deposited 0.001 BTC on ViaBTC.co.uk; just to test their “wothdrawal” functionality, I withdrew the same 0.001 BTC. That worked. I deposited my 0.001 BTC again and this time tried to withdraw 0.002 BTC (I.e. more than I had). That also worked, and it started confirming on the blockchain straight away. Not complaining, but still quite a stupid bug.

greyenlightenment

same as always: bitcoin sags as stocks go up. this is why shorting BTC such a great hedge. BTC will instant dump $3k on any hint of bad Iran news while QQQ hold up much better.

ILoveWesternCenter

Rip BTC shorts lmaoooooo works until it doesn't

Da_Cum_Man

Waiting for next paycheck to come in before I tangle with $SPY 0DTE options. Until then I stay the course: 50% buying $SPY, 40% buying $VT, 10% buying BTC for mostly long term stability with a tinge of regardation

GMEThrowaway2

I lose at options because I believe random unsourced Reddit comments as financial news. Earlier someone claimed an insider on polymarket is shorting BTC so I bought MSTR puts. I figure when I lose my money today then I can blame Reddit and quit options

Bugout-2020

That is approximately $300mm to Iran. Apparently they are charging $1 a barrel and are getting paid in BTC.

beachsandwichen

QQQ up SPY up BTC up Gamesuck uh uh wait a sec. That’s not right. They told me MOASS was right around the corner. Oh well. Guess Ill wait another decade or century like the guy said

Specialist_Exam_8433

Honest question, fundamentally what is stopping the market from pumping infinitely irregardless of actual economic conditions? Gold and BTC are effectively doing this as their value comes purely from perception. If we started viewing stocks as a form of uniqueness regardless of their underlying value then couldn't the market do the same.

ShitStainStoop

It’s not over till BTC is 16k

FastCar_5

According to the BTC community the narrative is that he didn't know if this thing could be big when it was initially published. If he's still alive and still hiding then he is just pussy shit lol, if he's gone then that also raises a lot of other questions..

second_time_again

So what I’m hearing is it’s time to put everything I have in BTC?

carsonthecarsinogen

This is what I mean by people who don’t fully understand bitcoin.. you can’t steal Bitcoin. Again, I’m not advocating for BTC to replace fiat. I’m just pointing out that it is money.

MizDiana

"Lightning network minimizes fees while maintaining security." Fees are only one cost. So is a high tech burden (i.e. needs an internet connection), and time for a transaction to clear. "BTC is impossible to steal" Incorrect. A google search can help you with that misunderstanding. "There are 0 benefits of fiat in regards to storing value" As I pointed out to you. Why would you want to store value in fiat? It'd be dumb when there are so many growth investments. This is part of fiat's design. Better protection against theft & counterparty-risk than BTC though. "As for its volatility adding to the problem; volatility has shrunk and will continue to fall further overtime." Ain't there yet.

Anchises1

Ironically all mango haters should be buying BTC hand over fist to push price up to support Iran

PulIthEld

BTC don't give a shit about your shitcoin companies.

Thin_Response_2689

BTC is up and CIRCL is down LMAO what a shitty stock

Snowman33001

BTC ath soon? Yes, why not?

Majestic_Can_6363

At 38 with £70k saved and a 5+ year horizon you're in a genuinely strong position. The framework is straightforward even if the execution feels overwhelming. First, maximize your Stocks & Shares ISA annually, £20k allowance, completely tax-free on gains and dividends. This is the single most impactful UK-specific move available to you. Second, within the ISA buy a single global index fund, Vanguard FTSE All-World (VWRP) or similar. It owns thousands of companies across every major market automatically. No stock picking required, historically outperforms most active fund managers over 5+ year periods. Third, your 4.6% cash account is worth keeping as emergency fund,3-6 months expenses minimum stays liquid regardless. The £50k on Chip at 2.7% is underperforming, move that into the ISA progressively. Fourth, consider a small crypto allocation, 5-10% maximum at your stage. Platforms like Nexo allow you to earn yield on BTC or stablecoins while maintaining long term exposure without active trading. Finally, automate everything. Monthly contribution, automatic investment, no manual decisions. Behavioral discipline, not picking the right fund, is what actually determines long term outcomes.

Lil-PussyFart

For anyone curious that line down on BTC is because I bought on the prediction market like an idiot that it would stay above $71,100 at 3:15

carsonthecarsinogen

Lightning network minimizes fees while maintaining security. But regardless of this, the level of acceptance is not a barrier, being accepted is. Bitcoin can be accepted by anyone in the USA. The internet wasn’t useless for payment just because only Amazon let you use it to buy things. Measurement I will agree with you but only because of a technicality. Measuring prices/ value is extremely difficult and subjective. Generally I’m aware of what $1 is “worth” in terms of buying power but that’s because I’ve grown up with dollars, I can also just as easily use BTC for the same thing but that’s only because I’ve taken the time to do so. As for its volatility adding to the problem; volatility has shrunk and will continue to fall further overtime. It has been then best store of value since it’s inception. BTC is impossible to steal, it can only be given away or lost. It’s “easy” to lose the same way gold is easy to lose if you burry it and lose the map. There are 0 benefits of fiat in regards to storing value, unless you’re speaking on very very short timeframes which is nonsense. **Fiat is good maybe best at exchange. That’s it. But I’m not arguing BTC to be a currency which is what Fiat is. BTC will not replace fiat, BTC is money not currency.**

At this point I’ve been more profitable playing BTC hourlys…..

shorting $BTC

f0xinaround

Plenty of people want BTC and that loses half its value every 2 years!

HaywoodJablome69

I'd say Bitcoin is really the only way to trade that Plenty of 24/7 brokers there, simply start watching BTC, watching the tweets, and go from there. FYI Bitcoin starting rolling a good hour before the truce post, people who know, know.

Snowman33001

STRC acquired an estimated 2000 BTC for MSTR today. That’s not nothin’

Snowman33001

Dang, MSTR accumulated approximately 2000 BTC from STRC alone today. Could be a monster in the making.

Money_Essay7793

MSTR to 100 and BTC to 55k in a wekk

daisyhoa

I used to trade futures on Binance before, but lately BTC has been too crazy, going up and down too much. I feel a headache, so yeah I just closed everything to keep my capital safe. For 2026, I think I’ll focus more on IPO and IDO. Recently I started looking into Legion. It’s kinda like a launchpad but different. You apply to join deals and explain your plan, not just throw money and fight for allocation. Still learning about it though. Anyone here using Legion? Would be nice to discuss more. Btw, wish you all more success in your investments for 2026

youngmacho

BTC is up 4% with COIN flat. It's a dead ass stock

Sensitive-Space-992

$1 in BTC per barrel of oil.

Jumpinmycar

I suspect it is both. I’m thinking BTC may rally as Iran’s leverage becomes clear

Lil-PussyFart

Watching something worth $71,000 sit in a $20 pocket for 45 minutes is insane. BTC prediction market is like 1H expiration options what a thrill

greyenlightenment

Yup crypto never keeps gains. BTC sub 66k soon

Top_Investment1825

Another day of BTC not going to 0 :(

StockMeringue2428

the financial times reported BTC. possible its both

StockMeringue2428

the strait is open but you have to pay Iran in BTC to get through and if you dont pay you cant go through but the strait is totally open.

TACO_Orange_3098

amazing that people trust iran more than us officials ............... markets are already telling you , selling the rally , VIX moving back up rates moving back up , oil moving back up BTC giving back a lot of its move already

tiger_lui

Bought and sold BTC at $2k, bought EV stock during hype, ended up losing $10k and a bunch of time. Lesson that I got: Invest in mutual fund and use the time to advance your skills. You need a good skills to make more money for capitals.

come on BTC, I can smell the next dump

LaneCraddock

BTC is crap. Less privat then a Bank. Monero would be the real thing.

Remarkable_Owl_7039

!banbet BTC 80k by eod 

trade_thriving

yeah your hitting on something I've been wondering about too honestly. Like I looked at their financials last month and the ETF revenue is... not great? It's basically a rounding error compared to what they're spending to operate. So you're right - without BTC appreciating, you're literally just paying them fees to hodl coins for you lol. That's the part that bugs me most.

Paul_Robert_

Some dude here was talking about how he was short 4btc, and if BTC hit 72k, he would be margin called 💀 I hope he's doing well

mneymaker

I just need some BTC short positions to be liquidated and let it run to 76k is it too much for?

Small_Mixture_9938

#1 removing sanctions, letting them profit #2 always were free to, but at % limits. Will enforce with oversight #3 I think Trump pushed them toward a neutral BTC. I don’t own a single satoshi of it, but he claimed his place as the BTC president and that would certainly open up a new pathway toward global neutrality

Ok_Location_1092

But like, did you consider the trade they made? 5x oil, 10x BTC?! 6.5% sounds great for. Few hours, but if it’s actually inside information, that’s garbage risk/reward.

Ok_Ground9015

I didn't see his comment, but politics/war have been majorly affecting penny stocks on a daily basis. I figure it's the same way we discuss oil prices, BTC, and all the other factors that affect us here in penny land.

Independent_Name_601

Take physical delivery of it and bury it like people throw away BTC.

Dstein99

CNN publicly reported Pakistan’s cease fire offer at 4:41 ET. At this time WTI crude was at $110, SPY was at $660, BTC was at $69,300. Oil prices and SPY did not move for 80 minutes after the report. 2 hours seems like a short timeframe but oil hit its low less than 3 hours after this public report came out. Anyone with only public information could have heard this report, they had plenty of time, over an hour to get into the trade, they may not know a timeline to exit, but oil hitting $92 would be a pretty good exit signal.

Ok_Location_1092

Feel like if you slapped 60M 5x short Oil, and 16m 10x long BTC you’d come away with more than 5m, 6.5% gain

linkuphost

I have watched about a hundred YT videos...I had some BTC but it kept dropping and the future doesn't look bright for it until October or so. Thanks!

Ridiculous_Society

BTC up

Mean-Evidence-4056

Saylor going to come out of his cave and start talking how great BTC is again

Low_Plastic363

Oil down, gold up, bonds down, BTC up. Nobody is expecting civilization ending tonight.

Luizcl_Data

One can argue it can be considered a store of value even if it is not reflected in being a hedge in the present. (People can't block you out of your btc) However, this should result in BTC being a hedge long term

mneymaker

Why wouldn't BTC tank? Its the riskiest of risk assets and already in a downtrend....

everySmell9000

at this point he's talked so big he almost has to do it, otherwise no one will listen to his threats again. so I agree he'll do it, he's cornered himself. unless Iran totally throws in the towel which they won't. their game is time. they want to drag this out because they know that's their main leverage. as to how Silver and BTC move in reaction to his bombings, I'm not so sure that that going to be a clear move downward. In my case I have puts on Citigroup and Santander.

ecoburner87

Glad I got out of my BTC short, it's showing a lot of strength this week. I almost jumped into a Russell 2000 short but that's holding on as well. QQQ is looking the wobbliest of the bunch at the moment

Due Diligence — Antelope Enterprise Holdings Ltd. (AEHL / BIYA) Nasdaq Capital Market · Holding cayman — Cina (livestreaming e-commerce) + USA (energia + Bitcoin) · Jinjiang, Fujian, PRC · \~40 dipendenti · Fondata 1993 (ex China Ceramics) · Rapporto al 2 aprile 2026 Giudizio: ALTISSIMO RISCHIO / FORTEMENTE SPECULATIVOAEHL è una micro-cap cinese quotata al Nasdaq con una storia di trasformazioni continue (piastrelle → e-commerce → energia → Bitcoin), tre reverse split in meno di 2 anni, cassa di $1.8M, ricavi in calo e un "Genius Plan" da $10 miliardi costruito su una company con market cap di \~$10M.

Le azioni outstanding sono passate da oltre 400 milioni a meno di 1.3 milioni. Il titolo ha toccato un minimo storico di $1.02 a marzo 2026. Il "Genius Plan" da $10 miliardi è stato annunciato da una società con $1.8M di cassa e market cap di \~$10M. 1993–2020China Ceramics Co. — produzione piastrelle in Cina. Business ceduto nel 2023 con gain di $10.4M. 2022–2024Pivot a livestreaming e-commerce in Cina tramite acquisizione 51% di Kylin Cloud (KylinCloud). Ricavi da $12M a $98.7M nel 2024 (+37% YoY).

Seconda compliance crisis risolta. Rischio delisting temporaneamente rimosso. Analisi legale, regolamentare e di governance VIE Structure — CinaCritico AEHL è una holding delle Isole Cayman. Kylin Cloud opera in Cina tramite struttura VIE (Variable Interest Entity). Gli investitori non hanno ownership diretta delle attività cinesi. Rischio regolatorio PRC elevato: Beijing può ridurre drasticamente i diritti degli investitori stranieri su VIE cinesi. 3 Reverse Split in 18 mesiCritico Reverse split 1:10 (set 2024) + 1:40 (apr 2025) + 1:6 (mar 2026) = 1:2.400 combinato. Pattern tipico di società in crisi strutturale. Ogni split distrugge valore per gli azionisti e segnala che il business non genera valore di mercato organico. Le azioni sono diluite continuamente. Cassa $1.8M vs passività $8.9MAlto Working capital fortemente negativo. Con un cash burn di $3.6M nel solo H1 2025, la società ha liquidità per meno di 6 mesi operativi. La sopravvivenza dipende da finanziamenti esterni (il $50M BTC deal) o da flussi da KylinCloud, che sono però in calo. Short interest 121% del floatAlto Un short interest superiore al 100% del float è un segnale di altissimo bearish sentiment istituzionale. Indica che molti operatori professionali scommettono attivamente sul calo del titolo. Può anche generare short squeeze violenti ma temporanei (come il +192% al lancio del Genius Plan). "Genius Plan" $10B — credibilitàAlto Un target da $10 miliardi in Bitcoin da parte di una società con $1.8M di cassa e market cap di $10M non è credibile senza un piano di finanziamento dettagliato e verificabile. È coerente con un pattern di annunci "narrative-driven" per muovere il titolo, tipico delle micro-cap cinesi quotate al Nasdaq. Rischio China/US geopoliticoAlto AEHL opera principalmente in Cina ma è quotata al Nasdaq USA. Soggetta contemporaneamente alla regolamentazione SEC, alle restrizioni PCAOB sull'audit di società cinesi, e ai rischi regolatori PRC sul settore e-commerce e livestreaming (come la policy change DOU+ che ha già impattato i ricavi H1 2025). Cambio fiscale e tickerMedio AEHL ha cambiato l'anno fiscale (da dic a set 2025), generando un periodo di transizione e difficoltà nel confronto comparativo. Il ticker è cambiato da AEHL a BIYA a marzo 2026 in occasione del reverse split. Frequenti cambi strutturali rendono difficile il tracking per investitori retail. Business model instabileAlto In 5 anni: piastrelle → ceramica → e-commerce livestreaming → energia gas → Bitcoin. La società non ha mai dimostrato di poter costruire un vantaggio competitivo sostenibile in nessuno di questi settori. La diversificazione estrema con risorse limitate è un segnale di gestione reattiva, non strategica.

how many times has BTC spiked and liquidate longs then tanked and liquidated shorts? they aren't doing long term investments lol

Pro tip: watch What happens shortly after the TACO. What's the strongest? Tech? Memory Stocks? BTC (yuck)? Gold? That could be a clue to what runs for a couple of weeks.

Morgan Stanley’s spot BTC ETF out tomorrow and will have a lower expense ratio than IBIT. What a time to be investing.
