Not to be a maxi, but if you understand BTC and economics well enough, there is no more secure option. I appreciate the intention tho

If you’ve accumulated more than a few thousand dollars worth of BTC, you should move it to cold storage.

IMO start with ETF's and try to regularly put money into investing so it becomes a habit. Then if you love it start doing some research into companies you use and love yourself to see if they might be good individual stock buys. Maybe you could use like 70/30 of your funds. Remember though, over 50% of hedge funds don't beat the SP500 so you've either got to get lucky, understand it back to front or not care about beating the market because you want to own a part of XYZ for whatever reason.
I would look into learning about value investing, growth stocks, dividend stocks and speculative stocks. Then over the next 2-5 years you'll naturally start to build a strategy and a preference for a style of investing. Ultimately in the early days its about contributing as much money as possible from your income/savings and then it will snowball over the years.
I do not suggest you follow me for a second because I have a lot of financial engineering practices in place to manage my portfolio and risk levels but after 10 years of investing my preference now is to have a high conviction portfolio with stocks that have an asymmetrical upside. Outside of my retirement account which just follows the international market with an emphasis on USA, I'm 70% GME, 20% BTC, 5% RDDT and 5% in pure speculation plays.

Hey everyone,
I’m new to crypto and still learning the basics. Right now I keep my BTC and XRP on Coinbase, but I keep hearing people say you shouldn’t leave your coins on exchanges.
So I’m wondering, is Coinbase actually safe for storage, or should I move my coins to a cold wallet instead? I’ve seen Tangem recommended a lot as a good first wallet, especially for beginners.
What do you guys think? Stick with Coinbase or invest in Tangem (or another cold wallet)? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

I saw a license plate last week in San Francisco that said BUY BTC.

F***ing well done. Take a moment to relish the feeling and then action forward! Get that BTC!

Get an account on Questrade or Wealthsimple and you can short the BTC ETF.

Big money is in BTC now. They will dump 1st, the most of us will panic dump. Many of us will loose our money, few will hold cause it’s the only thing we know how to do.
What will be of the most importance is what they do. Do they rug pull or buy the dip.

$BTC

BTC $155k, ETH 4.7k (SOL 275, XRP 3.75 and ADA 2.0 will continue to take market share from ETH), AVAX 75, Chainlink 50.
Dollar is another 4.5% weaker so in CHF, EUR, RMB terms these are barely ATHs.

🚨 UPDATE: Spot BTC$BTC ETFs saw $886.6M in net inflows last week, while ETH$ETH ETFs added $556.9M

If you're looking for leveraged exposure to Bitcoin without messing around with shady exchanges or low-volatility ETFs, Marathon Digital ($MARA) and Hut 8 Mining ($HUT) are the only crypto stocks worth betting big on right now. These aren’t just miners, they’re massive BTC holders with serious infrastructure plays. MARA holds over 44,000 BTC, while HUT just surpassed 10,000 BTC, giving both companies billion-dollar+ treasuries that ride Bitcoin's price like a built-in launchpad. On top of that, they’re aggressively expanding: MARA raised $2B to invest in wind power and data centers, while HUT is building out AI and HPC infrastructure, not just mining. These aren't the miners that sell Bitcoin to stay alive, they HODL and scale during both bull and bear markets.
Sure, these stocks come with volatility, MARA’s beta is nearly 6, meaning it moves harder than most altcoins. But with that risk comes real upside. Compared to other miners like Riot or Hive, MARA and HUT have the capital, scale, and strategic diversification to survive a bear and dominate a bull. If Bitcoin breaks past $100k, these aren’t going 1.5x, they’re going 3–5x if they execute. The combo of operational expansion, deep BTC reserves, and infrastructure plays gives them a real edge over the rest of the sector. I’m holding both, heavy in MARA for scale, and HUT for the higher-beta upside. Not financial advice, just the best setup I’ve found for the next leg of this crypto cycle.

BTC chart looking so so bullish.
Not today or tomorrow. But for a big macro move soon.

I actually took the time to read this exchange. I recently had a discussion with a friend who was as bullish in BTC as you are. Don’t conflate what the current selling price of BTC to what “value” it truly holds.
BTC is a speculative asset at its very best and a scam on any other regular day. The reason it’s a scam is due to the fact you cannot actually extract value from BTC. You can sell it and then collect currency which has a fungible value to everyone. However, at its core, there is no returning value. If you think of a company going public. It could skyrocket due to investors bidding and possibly speculating on what that tech or product might deliver in the future. Not every company will be successful, and so they fail. However in all intents and purposes they were driving towards delivering products that can create fungible value. You can also sell the assists that company held in attempts to recover investments. Take late stage companies like MSFT. They are a mature company and deliver value back to its investors in the term of dividends. People also pay a price (stock) to get a piece of that dividend with the addition sentiment that the company will grow and also increase in value .
With BTC all you’re doing is buying and holding in the hopes that at a later stage more people have bought in to the same pot. It moves money around without delivering any real world value. There is nothing that can happen internally that can increase its selling price . The fact that there are a few fringe cases of countries or organizations taking payment and utilizing BTC doesn’t change the fact that there is not mechanism for BTC to become more valuable.
At the end of a day a Ponzi scheme needs to create the illusion that there is a heap of money to be made to attract a buyer. You’ll see as the price increases, you must find new buyers. It cannot sustain its self with a static unchanging group of investors.
Good luck, you can still make money off it in the short term! That doesn’t change the argument at all

Dear OP,
I hereby authorize you to sell your BTC.
Best Regards,
Highly Regarded.

Earn fiat > buy WBTC > post it as collateral and borrow tokens that underperform BTC or borrow US-backed stablecoins > sell them for fiat > use it to pay bills/ pardon debt.
When BTC reaches 2x of my purchase price, pay down the crypto loans and keep on hodling.
