real estate and getting contracts is actually the hard part. Lots of government involvement before approval, and some governments are hostile to the concept of mining BTC & AI to begin with. I cant imagine starting a new operation in 2025.
I don't think convincing chip companies to sell their products to pivoting companies will be particularly difficult... What chip company would outright not sell their chips... They all want to benefit from AI build out.

I’m all about passive income/FIRE. Crypto.com was my first experience with cryptocurrency a couple years ago and I’m in it for the passive income. Just want a place to park my CRO/BTC/ETH/USDC. Every time I think about selling I think I’ll just hold more and see what happens.
Interested in learning about how to do more with staked assets like leverage or taking small loans on BTC to then buy USDC for more staking. But then I think about how complicated that would make taxes and I forget it 😭

Fck the institutions I thought BTC was for the people

Then why has BTC soared so much since its conception? People naturally sell when they have to, or think they have to, or for whatever reasons. BTC is digital gold, it always has and always will soar, no matter what.

BTC requires continually more people to buy it for anyone to see a return on their purchase. For that reason BTC owners want to discourage the purchase of other assets. 
Precious metal owners resent an excel spreadsheet being called ‘digital gold’ and don’t want another reserve asset to overshadow gold.
Stock owners have a productive asset, so they see those other two things as lesser investments, as neither is productive.
As far as wanting to be ‘covered’ well that comes down to trade offs. Do I want to put half my money into metals and half into stocks? If I think stocks will crash, I’m losing money by not going all in on metals. If I think stocks will always go up, that money in metals will only pull a meager return. With stocks especially, you can be heavily diversified and hedged against risk, so using metals to do that isn’t especially enticing.

Oh no 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of BTC gone....what will we do

Personally, i trade crypto, ive given thought to investing in it (especially BTC) i just havent given it any thought, do you guys really invest and believe in BTC going to lets say 200k?

BTC was derailed from being freedom money. If you love the idea of Bitcoin, ie. being your own bank, no middlemen, financial freedom for the world, Bitcoin is alive and well in BCH.

Let’s wait for stock market crash which will cause BTC drop to 25k and kill almost all alts.

Yeah, the FTX bankruptcy distribution has been a complete shitshow with how they're handling different assets. Our clients who got caught up in that mess are dealing with the same inconsistent payouts across different cryptocurrencies.
The issue is that FTX's bankruptcy process is treating different crypto assets separately based on what they can actually recover and liquidate. BTC was easier for them to track and distribute because it's more liquid and widely held. SOL and other altcoins are getting handled differently because the bankruptcy estate had to deal with more complex liquidation processes.
From what I've seen with other people in similar situations, SOL distributions have been delayed or handled through different phases of the bankruptcy process. The trustee has been prioritizing more liquid assets first, then working through the altcoins later.
Your best move is to check the official FTX bankruptcy website and make sure your SOL holdings were properly documented in your original claim. If you filed a claim and it included your SOL balance, you should eventually get something back, but the timeline is way longer than the BTC distributions.
Also check if there are any updated claim forms or documentation requirements specifically for SOL or other altcoins. Sometimes the bankruptcy process requires additional paperwork for different asset types.
The whole FTX recovery process has been engineered like crap from the start. Most teams try to duct-tape these bankruptcy distributions together and it blows up with inconsistent timelines and incomplete payouts for different assets.
If you're not already part of the FTX creditor groups or forums, join those. Other people in the same boat usually have better real-time info about what's happening with specific cryptocurrency distributions than the official communications.
Unfortunately this is mostly a waiting game at this point, but make sure all your documentation is in order and keep checking for updates on the bankruptcy proceedings.

Complaining about the social proof vs productivity of gold doesn't change BTC doesn't have any productivity.
BTC is thankfully for owners priced completely differently than its (non)productivity.

I am old enough to remember when Bitcoin would plunge 35% - 50%! that was a doozie and I could understand people panicking. so please.. hold the line and chill. this is nothing compared to when Bitcoin pearl harbored our accounts and sunk suddenly. that is not going to happen like that again.. wall street institution money counties and civilians are buying and hoarding like it’s a fire sale. this too shall pass and you’re gonna pity the people that ran because they are not going get back in so easily- they are gonna pay and pay they will- because BTC is about to leave the atmosphere and show us all something we have never seen before..

Yes but unlike BTC (or any crypto for the matter), gold is a hard asset, with proven value. Gold has been valued since the beginning of time, is it going to lose its status anytime soon? I don't think so, whereas crypto still has to prove itself.
Personally, im invested in both...because my thesis would mean the value of gold, crypto should go up. But that's just my thesis...and everyone has their own.

Well as have told my friends, all properties must be defended as in the days of kings. Today however it's insurance and property tax etc, my point being people think it's can't be taken away. Also think something happens and property values fall all around you in your area and wala.
I'm retired now and in BTC since year one. Buy and hold is all you have to do. I have a combo of QBTC held in a TFSA and I the rest in a hardware wallet. I chose Trezor.
I have traded stocks, options, physical gold and silver and for me, the best investment and the one I can travel anywhere in the world without prying eyes is BTC.
IM 100 percent QBTC and actual BTC. No need for a financial advisor in my opinion.
If want to know a bit more about BTC itself I would recommend rhe book THE BITCOIN STANDARD.

21 million BTC in circulation on planet earth thus scarcity causes this thing to hit a million by the time we dead

A friend asked me how to buy BTC.
I told her : Lol that's the top if you ask about it

Congrats. I'm also planning on selling a large chunk soon, BTC feels pretty risky rn imo. Volatility has diminished to the point of not even being noteworthy so a moon mission/parabolic price action feels so very fa away to the point of being impossible; conversely, given the weakness we've seen this year (no buyers to push price to a new range) a breakdown from this 75-125 range seems like it might take a lonng time to recover from. Then again i said the same thing from 20k to 3k and when FTX went under, and BTC always comes back... but the "potential of future outsized gains" is being called into question during this 'bull run', IMO. Just my 2 cents.

How can you have true price discovery without fully establishing the supply?
Bitcoin supply can be determined by even the poorest person with an internet connection. They can also get final settlement with 10 minutes.
An all digital substance which can only be purchased online, and can only exist online. Thus always in true account.
When you buy on an exchange, you are essentially buying REAL bitcoin which can be settled in 10 minutes to verify that it is real.
When you buy gold online, you have up to 8 weeks to find out whether you IOU was real.
BTC price discovery is going to be INSANE because you cannot buy fake entries into the ledger.
Only real BTC.

You kinda do both whether you like it or not. You buy (from somwhere like strike.me) into your "exchange wallet". Then when it hits a certain threshold (maybe .01 or .05 BTC or whatever you're comfortable with)... you move it into self-custody.
