Bitcoin April 30 2020 Daily MOVE Contracts
crypto

That’s a great move, 2022 was certainly a time to go more risk on when everyone was so bearish and BTC lost a huge chunk of value.

Sell everything in 2-6 months when the market has major FOMO and you're up 10x. You'll know because you'll find yourself wanting to screenshot your wallets.
Rebuy BTC and a few alts when BTC has crashed 80% and people are crying that crypto is dead. Hold another 4-5 years.
Sorry to break it too you but getting rich takes a few cycles, unless you're a very skilled trader. Few people are good at that.

Ok. Thanks for the inputs good and iffy! I have now bought in and set buy limit orders lower down cos I see a dip coming. Will buy a little BTC each week and on a dip maybe swap from other coins to btc. But it will be a lesser part of my total hodl.
Basically a small hedge. I’m ok with my HBAR DOT and DOVU in

BTC is 0.5% away from seeing its best Sept *ever* with order books looking exhausted and open interest completely wiped out. Bulls are in control going into FOMC but fools ye were and fools ye remain 😂

Most of the Bitcoin lost was in the first 3 years because
1) Bitcoin was worth nothing to very little thus people didn't seem to care about losing it
2) People could mine with their home computers (now you need specialized ASICs) so many simply install software and it would mine and they wouldn't make a backup
3) Since Bitcoin was so inexpensive people would give out large amounts for free with faucets and the recipients often wouldn't back that up because they didnt care
4) It was harder to make secure backups and more exchanges went defunct
Since these things are no longer the case and since Bitcoin is so valuable very little bitcoin is lost these days
Since Bitcoin is extremely divisible (13 decimal places in a payment channel) the total amount doesn't matter because even if Bitcoin is worth 100 million a coin you can still have enough divisibility to buy a cup of coffee.
**There are plenty of parts to go around**
Divisibility is not the same thing as increased inflation either as 1 usd = 4 quarters = 10 dimes = 100 pennies with purchasing power and inflation only occurs when another dollar is printed to drive down the spending power of each dollar.
Another aspect is new bitcoin will continue to be mined until after the year 2100 and ending before 2140 . Thus hypothetically 95% of bitcoin can be lost and everything will be fine although that is an extremely unlikely hypothetical. Estimates reflect 2-4 million BTC lost and I expect at lost in 100 years perhaps at most 5 million lost of the 21 million limit

Retiring from teaching thanks to Bitcoin — want to gift my students BTC they can only access in 10 years. How can I do this securely?

Buy and sell any asset or investment based on your personal situation in life.
Before buying and selling, know that there is opportunity costs involved and what you would do with or without the cash you will use or receive.
Selling BTC isn't a prudent strategy to sell everything because the asset valuation may still go up both in the short term and long term. If you cannot buy back some of the coin you sold at lower price levels, then it's best not to sell all or any in the future unless you really need the cash to use for something else, because everyone expects the price of Bitcoin to be well over 200k before 2030.
All crypto currency except for Bitcoin and Ethereum appear to oscillate up and down in relation to their valuation to BTC, therefore, it's a better tactic to buy and sell altcoins based on their value to BTC. If an altcoin has a high valuation to BTC then sell it, then when the value drops in relation to BTC, you might want to buy it back at a cheaper price.
The prudent method to sell BTC is to sell 10-20% at a time, and always have a portion of your investment in BTC to be held long term in hopes to making more than 100 times your initial investment cost.
I believe most people that sold all or 100% of their BTC holdings regret selling, because the valuation of the asset has kept going up since 2009. A large portion of people that held Bitcoin were forced to sell, lost it, or the asset was stolen from them. People, governments, and criminals are constantly trying to steal BTC.
Make sure you are okay about taxes and fees when you buy or sell BTC, because when governments find out you are selling BTC, they want you to pay taxes

You are correct, but the minute somebody does something that connects their name to that bitcoin then everything is known, including the person.
Thus, the only way to stay truly anonymous is to not do anything that would tie your name to the BTC.
In practice, that's like having millions of dollars that you can never spend.

This is not even true!
Here are only some alt coins that outperformed BTC last year alone: [Forbes link](https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/12/28/bitcoin-wasnt-even-the-best-performing-cryptocurrency-of-2024-despite-breaching-100000/).

I need a new roof now and I hate the idea of selling BTC. I know I’m gonna need a new roof again in my lifetime and the BTC is sure to be worth more than the roof. This leads me to want to build a new house that won’t need a new roof or other maintenance in the future for quite some time. It’s not all roses.

I kinda hope he didn't sell his entire stash and stayed in the market. The 10,000 BTC may have been easy to come by at the time so if he stayed in he'd likely still have had a retire early/nice house/nice life amount of crypto to not feel completely cleaned out.

Dude SOL is 130B market cap. 20% is a 30B only eth and BTC have been that high. Now we have BTC, ETH, and XRP. Worth over 3T. Last cycle BTC hit 1T and eth hit 500B. The percent gains people saw in 2021 no longer are a thing cryptos that 20-30Xed will now be 4-5x so 20% moves on large caps are big moves.
You need to adapt to the market if you wait for SOL to be $500 before you sell you will be liquidated before you make any profit. I’ve made over 100k swing trading SOL the last year taking profits at highs and buying back in at lows. I bought back in 100SOL around $130 and now I’ve doubled that.
This is a swing trading market where the top could be in at any moment with the wrong news.

Holy shit BTC huge dildo donger green John Wick + 0.01% 💰 🤑

Hey I’m all for BCH acting like the cash/loose change machine.
If you trynna microtransact BTC not gonna be for you.
If you wanna store value and have it appreciate, BCH won’t be for you.
There needs to be a distinction just how we don’t pay for things in gold but it stores the value nonetheless.
Cheers!

Nothing technical to back it up but gut feel and following the news, but I'm expecting a blow off top at some point before a 2008-esque goblin town in 2026 for all markets. So I guess jot me down for a few months with regards to your question?
Planning to ladder out of BTC at certain price targets on the way up with the idea I'll have cash to scoop up a nice house if things blow up in the near future (I really think it's a when, not an if considering the debt spiral, civil unrest, cost of living crisis, and how overcooked the stock market is).

Are you suggesting my neighbor with "650 BTC" license plate on their Hyundai regrets the car purchase?

Investing isn’t just about growing wealth it’s about protecting your money from the grasp of inflation. Even if BTC stays the same price it is now forever (not accounting for inflation) it will always go up at the inflationary rate.
The bottom line is you need to own assets or your money will be stolen from you.

Every one who first buys BTC is like i'm so early

I'm a new BTC investor. I've accepted both that I should have gotten into it sooner and yet I'm not willing to invest large amounts needed to make it a true long term safety instrument. I'm merely buying small amounts daily and knowing that it will remain a partner strategy for my main conventional investments.
