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!)

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

Should I buy BTC in a DCA fashion since we are close to the Halving in the 2 Quarter of 2024 and and a subsequent Bull Market ?

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?

BTC at silver market cap
- Get link

- Other Apps
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

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...

Containing following folders: "Blocks" "Chainstate" "6 Datas" - "debug.log" "peers.dat" "wallet.dat" "fee_estimates.dat" "lock" "db.log" How do I proceed from here? What is this?

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...

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.

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. ...

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. That's how sticky it is. Every day Bitcoin remains online is good for Bitcoin. Remember that. Submitted September 12, 2023 at 06:00AM by Impressive-Horse https://ift.tt/MCuTyto

“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...

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.

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? Edit: When referring to pay down my interest, I meant to say paying down the principal. Submitted September 08, 2023 at 08:34PM by TheCyberHornet https://ift.tt/MqL4pE8

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 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.

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.
