What % of your Net Worth do you have in BTC?

I recently came across posts where some individuals had over 90% of their net worth in Bitcoin. The reactions were mixed; some called them reckless, while others congratulated them. With any other asset, I wouldn't consider going all in, but Bitcoin feels different. It's the only investment that appeals to me right now, and its share of my overall savings is growing.As for me, if I factor in the equity of my not-yet-fully-paid-off house, my assets are divided as follows: 70% in real estate, 20% in Bitcoin, and 10% spread between ETFs and stocks. How about you? How deep are you in? P.S.: The purpose of this post is to gauge general sentiment about allocation, not to inquire about specific amounts. Please refrain from sharing private information. Ideally, only share percentages as I have done. Submitted September 30, 2023 at 09:26AM by SnooRevelations3802 https://ift.tt/4boKIjz

Each Halving Prices Out a Different Economic Group Trying to Obtain 1 Bitcoin - British HODL

One way of looking at the halving is which groups are effectively priced out when they occur. First Halving : November 28th, 2012 - $12.40 (Start) - $662.80 (End) This priced out extremely poor people, for whom even a single USD would be hard to expend. By the end of this cycle, many people in poor developing nations were priced out as ~$700 can exceed a year's income. The bottom billion were effectively out. Second Halving : July 9th, 2016 - $651.80 (Start) - $8,738.80 (End) Most people in developing nations and working poor in advanced economies. Many people in the United States don't even have $1,000 for an emergency. By the end of this cycle they were effectively priced out. Third Halving : May 11th, 2020 - $8,579.80 (Start) - $30k-60k? (Projected End) Current cycle. The price of a single Bitcoin would be a strain on many lower middle-class families today. As few may have nearly $30,000 to spend on a full coin. (DCA is your friend!) Fourth Halving : April 2024 (Proj

There’s one thing that rings true with all bitcoin critics.

They simply don’t understand bitcoin. As warren buffet said “ I don’t believe in bitcoin, but I also don’t know anything about it” Imagine getting on a plane, and the pilot says “I have no idea how to fly a plane, but I think I can figure it out anyway, hop on!” You’d be just as dumb to get on this plane than to listen to anyones opinion of bitcoin, other than an expert who thoroughly understands all aspects of bitcoin. You must also be somewhat of an expert on economics to see how bitcoin can be applied to solve our economical problems… long story short, most people don’t and never will have this ability. The way I usually explain it, most people don’t understand propulsion, aerodynamics, or even simply how a jet engine creates enough thrust to keep a 200,000 pound hunk of aluminum in the air. Yet these people fly on airplanes every day without even thinking twice, why? Because they’ve seen airplanes take off and land thousands of times per day, their experience with airplanes is

What are YOU doing to support BTC network?

1) I hold my BTC in cold storage. 2) Even after meeting my personal goal, I run a small weekly DCA just to support the network. 3) When a big news event occurs, i. e., ‘Blackrock applies for spot ETF’ I send the article out to my normie friends. 4) I am working to connect my local state legislators to bitcoin policy/advocacy groups. 5) I’m using my experience, wisdom and knowledge to advocate on behalf of bitcoin when asked questions by friends and family. 6) I listen and educate myself byway of BTC podcasts.

That’s it - I am done buying Bitcoin (for now)

I first heard about Bitcoin in 2019. Thanks to the COVID lockdown, I had more free time and began learning more about it through sources like 'The Bitcoin Standard' and keynote speeches by Andreas Antonopoulos. I became fascinated and started DCA-ing into Bitcoin at the end of 2020. After a few months, Tesla announced that they were buying Bitcoin and accepting it as payment. This triggered my FOMO, and I felt like a genius due to the surge in demand. This led me to stop investing in my retirement accounts and allocate everything I have into Bitcoin. Fast forward to when the Federal Reserve began rapidly increasing interest rates, and we witnessed the collapse of FTX, the bankruptcies of major crypto exchanges, and the exposure of bad actors in the crypto space. This caused my investments to start collapsing, and fear overwhelmed me as I saw the value plummet. Nevertheless, I continued to watch Andreas's speeches and read more of his books, which led me to double down o

Question should I liquidate my 401k and buy 10 BTC

Not 100% decided, but the risk reward seems to be compelling. My main thoughts are revolving around the next halving that will occur in April 2024. It that was to happen today most of the most efficient commercial miners would have their costs go to 21,000-24,000 to mine 1. The only thing that can save them is rapid appreciation in the Next 7 months. Submitted September 28, 2023 at 03:52AM by BradBiondo https://ift.tt/w6xupER

Think it will become more and more difficult to become a whole coiner….especially after the next halving. Might as well stack max possible before next halving…

Like……2017 high was $20k…… and 2021 “high” was $67k, now it is at $26k “low” So essentially after the 2025 high (say $200k), the 2027 “low” will be somewhere around $70k Realistically who common working class $40k a year person can really put $70k into Bitcoin, which is the next lowest low after 2023. Hence if you have heard about Bitcoin, and have already been through the technical buying/storage hurdle, might as well stack to a full coin before halving in April 2024.

Here are two choices for me, and every new parent out there: I either put away $26,000 today, to give to my new born child 20 years later. Or I buy one Bitcoin at $26,000 today, to give to my new born child 20 years later. If you look at this in a 20 year horizon, the correct logical choice becomes immediately obvious.

The moment I realized what Bitcoin was!

What is Gold backs buy? Nothing but human history, time and the illusion of scarcity( since nobody knows the true supply of gold, custodians can lie on paper or someone could go dig and find more). Bitcoin was created after the 2008 housing crisis and the banking failures. It provides a solution to force everyone and every entity to become honest by its immutable ledger that is accessible to the public at large. It forces corporations and governments to respect private property. It prevents theft through inflation The first triple point asset ever created: (a) The best store of Value, (b) The best medium of exchange, (c) The best unit of account. Bitcoin is the only asset that exists in all those three functions of money at the same time Given those, over 8 billion people are competing for each of those three functions in some aspect. Either they find some of those in fiat, some in gold and in other assets, but never all three in one asset until Bitcoin. Here’s your tota

Today the iPhone 15 is being released at a price of roughly $800 to $1100 each with better than projected orders by retailers. I'm willing to bet, based on past trends, that the iPhone 15 will be cheaper a year from now, just like every other phone ever. And yet, people are buying them. Today. Weird. Don't these people know that it'll be cheaper to buy an iPhone 15 next year? Why would they spend their money now when it's going to be cheaper a year from now? Are they being directed by a central authority to buy consumer goods now instead of waiting so the economy doesn't crash in a downward spiral from a lack of spending? I'm sure this is just a fluke and doesn't apply to other consumer goods like cars, TVs, boats, computers, kitchen appliances, Fluke multimeters, (and as King Mongkut of Siam once said), "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." ​ There really seems to be a dichotomy between the deflationary argument against Bitcoin and peoples actual p

BTC at silver market cap

It is often said that BTC would reach $100K per coin in the next bull run. Whether this would materialize or not is not the point of this post. At $100K the market cap of BTC would be around 50% higher than the current market cap of silver. Silver has been regarded (rightly or wrongly) as a store of value and indeed its price fluctuations are nowhere near those observed in crypto space. If BTC reaches a market cap that is 50% higher than that of one of the existing forms of stores of value why would anyone expect BTC to continue to exhibit the wild swings it has exhibited so far? I would expect the price to fluctuate within bounds similar to those of silver and the price to not fall much below $100K once it reaches there. Any thoughts? Edit: silver is a random example; I could have used gold instead and had the same argument. Submitted September 20, 2023 at 03:01PM by MeMyself159 https://ift.tt/rLJst70

The older the “fiat-believer” is, the harder it is to explain Bitcoin to them….including people who works in finance for 20+ years…

I think some of you may have experienced the same: Teens are more open to the idea of Bitcoin….relatively speaking….although they hardly have any significant amount of money to invest, nor do they have a big disposable income (or any income at all). People in their 20s is the largest group who understand Bitcoin and have the financial capability to buy Bitcoin. I personally think this is the group that will benefit big time in 10 years time when they reach mid 30s (thats 2033, so 3 more halvings later…..close to $1m by then perhaps….😎) From people who are 30s upwards…..they cant adjust to new concepts that easily….and the funny thing is, the people in finance are even more stuck in terms of mindset.

21 million is relatively small

According to my Google-fu, there are about 40 million humans in California. 38 million in Tokyo. This means that if everyone in California rushed to buy Bitcoin, there is only about 0.5 to go around per person. If Tokyo wants in, everyone can only have 0.25 total. World population to 21 million BTC puts things in to perspective. Wholecoiners may be very very wealthy in the future. Submitted September 19, 2023 at 08:43AM by BWFree https://ift.tt/PnNQucA

How I made 1 BTC after 4 years and 163 days

This is follow up post to this which got so much engagments. Thanks you guys for all the congratulations! Too many people for me to be able to answer asked about the approach I used and how I did it, so I will answer here. Below are the most important lessons I learned. So basically I finally reached 1 btc after 4 years and 163 days being from "almost-a-third-world-country". ​ The best day to start is yesterday: I started to DCA in 2019 (not proper DCA, just bought a little here and there). So even if if my DCA was not disciplined, it didn't matter. Today, the absolute most important factor was that I started all the way back then. This is the main reason I have 1 BTC today. Use a wallet: I started using a wallet because to pass KYC on some exchanges back then when you are not from a "nice" country is very hard. I think this was luck because so many people have lost their BTC to centralized exchanges this past 2 years... Custom DCA Strategy: Most

Going Fiat-Free?

How would one go about living completely or nearly Fiat Free? Keep your main stack in Cold Storage and then spend as needed with something like a Coinbase debit card for monthly expenses? Assuming your stack is big enough to give you a big enough buffer for monthly expenses (even if the Fiat price of BTC goes down significantly). Does it make sense to do this if you actually believe BTC will go up significantly in the long run? Maybe just keep one month of expenses in a fiat checking account, and all other excess cash into BTC cold storage? What should the value of your BTC stack be VS your monthly expenses? (For example if all your monthly expenses are 5k, should your sat stack be worth at least 30k in fiat in order to cover 6 months of expenses?

Curious to hear what people who understand Bitcoin think of 401k, Roth IRA, or 529 accounts

Hi everyone, I have been involved in Bitcoin for about 5-6 years now and I have spent thousands of hours learning everything Bitcoin from a technology, social, and political point of view. However, to better educate myself, I am starting to learn more and more about traditional financial savings tools. I am really interested to hear what other people who understand Bitcoin say about 401k, Roth IRAs, and 529 accounts. I want to elaborate on my thoughts so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or call me out if you disagree with me. For starters, the 401k has been the conventional retirement savings account in the USA. The government entices you to invest in your 401k by giving tax advantages to you as well as your employer by allowing them to match your contribution. The benefits sound good on paper, but are they actually worth it practically? Sure, you get a 100% guaranteed ROI if you only put in what your employer matches, but you have to hold your account until you are at l

It’s not your money.

I have decided to go commando and sell all individual stock today. At a loss. In order to buy BTC. One thing I realized is that this is not my money.. You see, I can see the value of my stock but it says that I have .23 cents available to transfer. When will i get my cash so I can move it to my account? Who knows? Same with coinbase. I have some btc in there but for the past few days? It shows I can only move a fraction of it. As soon as I am able to, I will buy BTC and move it to my cold wallet. I just wanted to vent about this and say that even though you “have” money in the stock market or a crypto exchange, good luck. It’s not really your money.

I used to have 20 btc, now I only have 1. It’s killing me on the inside.

Just need to get this off my chest. I had a good job that paid well and before discovering btc I basically put all my savings into stocks in 2011, my investments did well. Once I googled “what is bitcoin” I immediately sold all the stocks and went all in in 2017 around 5k. I continued to put my entire earnings into btc throughout the terrible bear markets. I even shorted btc with btc on bitmex the day it crashed from 7k to 3.5k and that was probably my best trade ever, which just gave me more btc. I then got very lucky and got a job that paid in btc and hodled as much as I could stacking up 20btc eventually. Fast forward to now and I only have 1… It’s because I sold some holdings to buy a house (after it dropped from 70k to 35k) and have been renovating it myself, that was my full time job (home renovating) it ended up costing me so much more and I was not working causing me to sell far more btc then I had anticipated… My ex wife sued me and I had to spend more btc on that too.

Bitcoin grows stronger with each block; ignore price for the time being

Inertia is Bitcoin's greatest ally. The longer Bitcoin has been around, the more likely it is to stay around. It's a virtuous cycle unique to Bitcoin. The reason is not technical. It's economic and psychological. The Bitcoin system makes sense. Millions of people see its massive utility. They understand that Bitcoin is a very elegant solution - they have no reason to ever abandon it. Even in a nuclear apocalypse scenario, assuming just a few nodes survived, Bitcoin would likely be rejuvenated. It would become a link to the past that people would want to maintain.

What do you tell someone when they want to argue that Bitcoin is volatile and worthless and will be gone in less than a decade? I'm quoting Robert Breedlove from now on:

“People seek a money that is divisible, durable, recognizable, portable and scarce. And historically, monetary metals were the most divisible, durable, recognizable, portable and scarce monetary technology available to the world. Of all the monetary metals that were available gold was the most scarce. So that’s why we selected gold as money, as the best tool for the job over time. If you use that same framework to evaluate Bitcoin, we have a technology that has basically perfected all the properties of money. Bitcoin is perfectly divisible, it’s infinitely durable. It’s distributed information so no one know how to get rid of it. Infinitely portable because it’s just information. You can move it at the speed of light. Bitcoin’s also perfectly recognizable because you can audit the whole supply. Finally it’s perfectly scarce in that it’s a fixed supply asset. There’s no such thing as a fixed supply asset in the physical world, but in the digital world with Bitcoin, there is. So it’s mo

If you are worried about Wallstreet taking over Bitcoin... Run a Full Node

This has been said a thousand times before and I'll say it again. If you think Blackrock and the others are going to take over bitcoin, your fears may be legitimate. It may go something like this. ETF approved. "IF"(Not sure that is even possible, but let's just say it is) Blackrock buys 51% of the miners and try to force a change... The last line is the NODEs.... Reject their code and get some free shit coin.... Run a node so you can cast your vote in the system. This is the last real vote you have left in your life. You get to choose the monetary system of tomorrow. If you own bitcoin and don't run and node ( and can afford it) you are doing this wrong. Nodes add to safety, security, privacy, etc. You can do it for the cheap on your own, open source. Or you can buy a rebuilt kit too.

The top three asset managers BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity are accumulating Bitcoin right now; some chain analysis nerds have already found Vanguard's custodial wallet (Robinhood) which holds ₿118,300 . They're also majority shareholders in Bitcoin mining companies in the US. What they're going to do is get regulatory approval from the SEC to launch their own individual ETFs, then repackage it and charge you a fee for putting it in your retirement plan.

Hodl… forever?

I hear many people saying they’ll never part ways with the btc/sats they’ve collected. Just like fiat, you can’t spend it when you’re dead. So what is the purpose of trading in your fiat for btc if you have no intention of using it? Are you trying to build generational wealth for relatives? If so, will they know how to access your stash? I myself am saving btc as an investment to purchase land. Whether I trade the btc directly or sell it for fiat to purchase the land, that is the end game for me. Land seems to continuously go up in value, there is a limited supply of it, and if the sea reclaims more of it, it is deflationary like btc.

Bitcoin or Interest?

Woke up this morning with insane anxiety regarding my finances. I’m deep in student loan debt currently at $61k (graduated 2017 with over $100k) and trying to launch a startup (mobile application). I’ve been buying bitcoin since 2016 but over the last 5 years have been buying more often (DCA) rather than paying down my interest which is now at 5.55%. Does anyone else do this? I obviously understand that this is extremely bad debt and would go back and kick my own ass if given the chance to undo this mistake. I find that the long term payoff makes sense even though any financial person (given they have no understanding of bitcoin) is going to tell you to pay down the debt asap. Give me your thoughts?

I have one question: why did they do it and for what purpose? As of January 8th, that was $67,000. Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa. Satoshi Nakamoto Balance Submitted September 08, 2023 at 01:40AM by Fantastic_Ranger3539 https://ift.tt/1tFxpiw

Do you agree with all these youtubers saying just own .1 or .01 bitcoin?

I understand the premise of bitcoin and as a hedge against inflation, however I see crazy speculation of 10-100 million dollar bitcoin, even one guy saying 7 billion. I'm trying to understand how it could reach that price. Submitted September 06, 2023 at 10:37PM by Agitated-138 https://ift.tt/yb4jCop

Expensive night out

Just thought I’d share this fun little story. I was catching up with an old friend in London in 2014/15 and he told me about this bitcoin thing and that there was a pub in London that took bitcoin via a qr code, he transferred 0.1 bitcoins into a wallet he set up for me and I bought a round. As if that wasn’t bad enough I bought a further 40 quids worth and between us we spent nearly 1 bitcoin on a single night on a few pints and a bit of food. He can now happily retire on bitcoin, I cannot. Submitted September 06, 2023 at 10:44PM by Mattcherrymusic https://ift.tt/5QbFxz3

If 99% of humanity keeps ignoring btc.. won’t it lose value?

Of course, now that soon Blackrock will have etf, it won’t be the case but just in case, if most people alive ignore it, BTC won’t get attention and slowly dies? How does it work? I mean, we still have gold, real estate etc It’s not like the world’s gonna collapse, it’ll only keep going like this with or without btc.

If BTC is finite and scarce, what are my incentives to spend it?

Question from someone new in the BTC world. While it is true that an unlimited supply of FIAT decreases its value, it also encourages spending.

Rising Phoenix: An Academic Review of Bitcoin's Ten-Year Bull Market

Hey, guys. I initially did this thread on another sub, but I'd love to share it here. So I changed the title and here it goes. I'd love to hear what you think. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. TLDR: Over a decade of academic deep dives suggests that Bitcoin's not just digital gold, but the rockstar of modern finance with a hint of eco-controversy and a sprinkle of global appeal. Some important things to say first: 1. I've explored "bullish trends" as the title suggests and here is what I found. I didn't have time (yet) to go over the other 1000 or 1500 articles to collect the bearish views. But I can assure you that, one way or another, the majority of the views are bullish. A bullish view doesn't mean that the article says that Bitcoin will rule the world, but that there is some usefulness in its existence. 2. The chart presents the authors/co-authors who have been diving deep into this theme. Let's say I want to find out if creati

Nostr: Decentralized Twitter & Bitcoin Lightning's Use Case

Nostr is similar to a decentralized Twitter, with Bitcoin Lightning payments built in. Zapping someone is the ultimate form of love. This is finally a use-case for lightning as putting something like 20 cents on the layer 1 blockchain is usually a waste in transaction fees. ​ The purpose of Nostr is that no central entity should own the public “town square” of free speech. By having different nodes host data around the world, with interoperability for different clients, it is simply a protocol that allows for censorship resistant communication. ​ The key to Nostr is the encryption based identity. Nostr (and the privacy messenger Session) both work by having the public key as a username and the private key as your password. And the open source nature of Nostr clients, allows them to clearly not have access to your private key when they post. In fact, even the web browser Nostr clients let you use browser extensions such as Flamingo to sign transactions without the website itself se

Every Ledger Thing is Broken

ARRGH. I have two ledgers. I cannot access either using Ledger Live to send BTC. (I have not used them in many moons... they are my cold storage, both seeded to the same wallet). Ledger Live can see my balance (on the Ledger I keep handy), but when I try to send it gives some bullshit unable to connect error. It says to update to latest Ledger Live. So I do. Then it says gives the bullshit unable to connect error and says I HAVE TO update my firmware. WTF? I HAVE TO UPDATE MY FIRMWARE? HAVE TO?? What kind of bush league bullshit is this that you refuse to work with your own device running your own firmware?!!?! Ok, so I do the firmware update,. except it bricks the ledger at the "bootloader" step. Multiple reboots, multiple "run as admin", you name it, no dice. the thing is bricked. So no way in hell I am going to update the backup ledger (I fished it out of where it was hiding). So I delete ledger live and reinstall v1.10.2 (I had the installer saved because

Stretchy measuring stick

Why do we hear "$1.5 billion worth of this Bitcoin" and "$1.5 billion worth of that Bitcoin", yet never is the actual quantity of Bitcoin mentioned? We know the "price" of world fiat is changing radically, so why do we seem compelled to state BTC in fiat terms? Is it because the "information" is being fed to us?

New raspiblitz node setup

Hey guys Have just fumbled through setting up a full node with lightning and tor. Seems to be running ok . Was hard to keep cool during syncing. Sat it on rotating ice packs lol I have around 16 peers and 4 lightning peers. Do I need to set anything up to be more helpful to the Bitcoin eco system ? Or just let it run? I tried to fund my lightning wallet with a few Sats from Binance but it gave a Bitcoin address not a lightning address . Which i wanted to use. Have done some reading and I think if I join a mobile lightning wallet like zuse to the lightning node then can get a lightning address to send to to add funds?

What is your diversification strategy if any?

For a couple of years I've been 90% bitcoin 10% sp500. and then enough cash for emergencies. The reason I haven't gone 100% all in on bitcoin is only because I get a 401k match, and the best thing to get in that 401k is sp500. Many have said that an all-bitcoin portfolio is a terrible idea, even in this sub. But I still do it because I believe that other asset classes will bleed against bitcoin overtime because I think on the macro-scale, it will be bitcoin to back the value of all other assets. sp500, although it grows 7-10% a year, so does inflation. So after inflation, sp500 has only returned 1% According to SPX/USM2. I think bitcoin will demonetize gold and people will leave gold in favor for bitcoin as a store of value over the long term. I think that real estate is good, but you need a lot invested, and it comes with it's own problems. These are my reasons for wanting to go 100% bitcoin even though people in this sub tell me not to do it. So, since you guys don&#

What Are the Best Arguments to Help People Focus on Bitcoin Rather Than Other Coins?

My top arguments: Information asymmetry makes it incredibly difficult to make *any* money trading altcoins. Bitcoin's long-term returns outpace gold, US Treasuries, and the S&P500 by a healthy margin. Bitcoin's uses as Store of Value + Medium of Exchange (just the beginning for MoE) > smart contracts on other chains. Bitcoin is simple and works as designed; only protocol devs know how an alt-chain works & HIGH rug potential. What do you guys think?

Is it just me, or does the constant stream of positivity about Bitcoin here sometimes seem a bit overwhelming?
