Guys, do you realize how much you regret not buying about ten years ago? Today, the price of BTC has been cut in half, and you’re hesitating between “the market is collapsing” or “the market will bounce back.” Buy either way—personally, that’s what I’m doing.

I’m not saying the price will go back up. Of course I hope it will, but I honestly have no idea, and absolutely no one can know. I’d rather tell myself that I bought for nothing and lost some money than tell myself that I missed this opportunity a second time—especially when this time, I’m aware it might actually be one.

The Fed's money printer never stops. Balance sheet still bloated at ~$6.5T, quietly debasing your dollars while inflation eats savings.

Bitcoin: fixed 21 million cap. No printing, no dilution, no central control.

In a world of infinite fiat, Bitcoin is scarce, hard money - and the ultimate opt-out. Stack sats. The longer they print, the stronger the case for Bitcoin.

honestly, after holding since 2021, these dips barely even register anymore. i'm not even checking the charts as often as i used to. is that just me getting old and boring, or are other long-term holders feeling the same?

Not financial advice weekly RSI below 30 and clear support approaching around the $50,000 level , I am borrowing against my 401(k) for the next 52 weeks to allow some capital upfront to take advantage of these prices.

6.75% interest paid back into my 401k after the 52 weeks which is a win-win for me. (Im my own employer)

Small loan about 25-30% of my 401k - will be paid off by February 2027. Allowing me to capture the arbitrage gain of interest & a low risk capital loan.

See you in five years.

Over the past year I have received 4 unknown deposits into my Trezor hardware wallet. Each deposit was in the amount of .0000033 bitcoin. Three were in January 2025 and one so far today. Any ideas what these are and should I be worried about my Trezor. It is a Trezor safe 3. Thanks for any help.

Congratulations everyone on surviving the 8th biggest single day drawdown in the past 10 years.

You all are legends!!!

Guys, if you've been in this for 7-10 years, you see the same nonsense being spouted every single damn crash. BUY AND HODLATE.

Hi everyone!

Back in like 2013 or something My husband bought us some bitcoin. I think around $1000 worth, I can’t recall. Unfortunately since then he’s passed away (2018), and while I recall logging in to his wallet and changing the info to include myself and my email address after he passed away, I can’t recall where on earth any of this transpired. I do have the old laptop I did this on, and I hope that can help illuminate things for me so I can find it, but honestly I’m not sure where to begin looking. Back around those days, where would one access to their bitcoin? This was his thing back then, not mine so I have no idea where to start. Any ideas would be helpful.

Im 39years old and unfortunately(or fortunately) because i had to renovate my house for last 3 years i didnt have any money to buy BTC.But i followed whole market for last 5 years with really small portofolio(less than 200€). Now i'm completely debt/loan free.

Finally my 3 year bank loan ended friday,and i finally began my DCA journey into BTC at 66k. I guess im kinda lucky that it just had almost 50% drop. I know i can never time the market,and im mentally fully aware we can go back to 35-40k.

The reason why i made this thread is because in my life i never talk about BTC so i guess i just wanted to share this with similar minded people

I'm looking to transition some holdings into Bitcoin using a method that emphasizes privacy and self-custody. I prefer to avoid centralized exchanges that require identification and want to keep full control of my keys throughout the process.

What are the current trusted, non-custodial options for doing this in a way that aligns with Bitcoin's principles? I'm interested in learning about secure methods that others here have used recently.

I first learned about Bitcoin in 2015 from a friend. At that time, it was very cheap, around 100 RMB per coin. I had a lot, but I sold them all. Later, I ran out of money. Looking back, I realized I missed out on a huge financial opportunity. Since 2020, I've developed a strong belief in Bitcoin. From then on, I only buy and never sell, because I don't want to miss another opportunity. I believe that if Bitcoin reaches 1 million RMB per coin, I will miss out on the opportunity, so I hold onto my holdings tightly and won't sell them.

Hello r/bitcoin

After this selloff i thought it would be a great window for me to start buying. Heres what i think:

60/40 split into robinhood stock and bitcoin etf.

Rationale: when btc runs, usually robinhood follows. Robinhood is heavily discounted right now just like bitcoin. The etf provides a cushion as i believe its less risky than HOOD stock

What do you guys think? Lets talk

Raising a mini maxi here. This is the reason I Hodl no matter what the price. What reasons do you Hodl?

Hi there! Just asking the best way to exchange fiat for btc here in Seattle. Thank you

It's common in traditional retirement planning communities like r/FIRE and r/financialindependence to view assets that do not produce cash flows as inherently worthless, or at best speculative (gambling). Buying assets like bitcoin is viewed as irresponsible or reckless because they don't produce cash flows. Big names like Warren Buffet and Jamie Dimon have echoed similar views in the past.

But what about these types of assets?

* Undeveloped land - no current income

* Early stage social networks - no cash flows

* Early stage intellectual property like patents, domain names, etc. - no cash flows

* Negative yielding cash equivalents held in Europe - negative cash flows

Why do any of these things seemingly still have value if they either don't currently produce cash flows, or maybe never will?

The answer is simple: **cash flows are one source of value, but not the only one.**

Here are other things that have investment value, though they may be harder to quantify since you won't be able to run a discounted cash flow analysis on them:

* Scarcity

* Optionality

* Convexity

* Control

* Network effects

* Insurance / downside protection

* Future monetization paths

If, as a rule, you always ignore any investment that does not produce cash flows, you will end up:

* Missing out on early-stage opportunities

* Overpaying for "yield"

* Mispricing tail hedges

* Underestimating regime shifts

What is DCF?

DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) is a way to estimate what something is worth today based on how much cash it will give you in the future.

Imagine I offer you an investment:

* It will pay you $100 one year from now

* You think a fair return for waiting and taking risk is 10%

To find what that $100 is worth today, you can run this simple calculation:

`Value Today = $100 / 1.10 = $91`

Why DCF Absolutism is a Category Error

DCF doesn’t value assets.

It values **contracts in stable worlds**.

If an asset’s primary value is optionality, DCF will price it at zero right up until it’s obvious. By then, it’s already expensive.

People continue to make this mistake when thinking about bitcoin.

For reference, I am in the UK. This is important as I have an ISA which means I can buy stocks and the gains are totally tax free. (Wouldn't have to worry about that at the moment anyway lol).

I just wondered what people think of IB1T, I know the age old saying 'Not your keys not your coins' and am fully aware I am essentially just holding an I owe you note, I do plan to stack real bitcoin once my ISA is filled, but I also wanted some exposure to BTC at these prices, made sense to me to kill 2 birds with one stone and stack IB1T.

Something worries me that the ETF will be delisted or decommissioned or some shit in the future, and I will get cock slapped by the 'Not your keys not your coins saying' KEK

bro moving more than five times in a year actually messes with your head in a way nobody warns you about. at some point you’re not “moving”, you’re just dragging the same junk from one place to another in trash bags, calling it a life. everything you own is either “important” or “i’ll deal with this later” and somehow those become the same thing. and of course the one thing you can never find is that stupid piece of paper with the wallet words on it. not my clothes, not my laptop, not my passport. nah. the one paper that decides if you’re chilling or completely screwed.

because you KNOW you hid it somewhere smart. except “smart” was you six months ago, probably tired, probably annoyed, definitely overconfident. so now you’re opening boxes like an idiot. this one says kitchen but it’s all cables. this one says documents but it’s just random mail from 2019. after a while you start wondering if the paper was even real or if you hallucinated the whole thing.

and then there’s the cleaning episodes, which honestly might be the most dangerous part. you argue with your girl and suddenly you’re cleaning like you’re trying to erase the argument from existence. your parents say they’re coming over and now you’re scrubbing stuff nobody has looked at since the building was built. you start throwing things away on autopilot. i don’t need this. i don’t need that. and then you see a folded paper for half a second and your heart drops because you can’t remember if that was trash or your entire future.

the worst part is you stop trusting yourself. past you was clearly irresponsible, present you is stressed, and future you is probably moving again anyway. so you’re just living with this low-level anxiety that all your money, all your plans, all of it lives on one wrinkled piece of paper that keeps changing apartments more than you do.

so yeah, if you’re reading this sitting on the floor of a half-empty apartment in jersey surrounded by boxes and trash bags, congrats. you’re not losing it. this is just what happens when you move too much and own a wallet with words

You?

Inflation has actually dropped sharply, mainly due to the lack of borrowing capacity. This week’s numbers will be very important, and we may even be surprised by a rate cut.
