If you work a dead end job, the best investment you can make is not in BTC but in yourself. Use your money to increase your value to others.
I once worked in a supermarket stacking shelves about 15 years ago. I taught my self to program, I hustled, got into skydiving where I met all kinds of interesting people many who owned their own companies.
One such person a CEO of a tech company saw something I made and offered me a job due to the potential he saw.
That opportunity opened a lot more opportunities where I ended up creating my own company with the CTO of the original one I worked at as an angel investor.
I sold my interest in that company and now living in Thailand. A country btw which introduced 0% capital gains on crypto in 2025 until at least 2029.
FYI , i also own BTC and a whole coiner.

….but it’s not a hedge on inflation, like at all. We saw what happened to the price of BTC the minute inflation was running on the US economy - it crashed. It is highly speculative gambling at best. The global banking system is far superior to crypto - do you fully believe crypto, which is 24/7, should be a stronger brand of financial strength? I’d argue there needs to be hours / caps on global financial markets like there currently are for a myriad of reasons. Imagine being asleep at 3 am and you wake up to find out BTC crashed 90% due to some unforeseen event, should that be allowed to occur for something that revolutionizes monetary policy? No, no it should not. The point I’m making is that everyone says exactly what you said, but doesn’t provide hard evidence of what it does that is a net benefit compared to the current financial system. Healthy financial systems have checks and balances on underlying vehicles - crypto has significantly more risk than this. I am trying to be shown hard evidence of it being anything other than a pyramid scheme.

I can see how a wallet would not really be the means of swapping BTC to BCH, because that’s more of an Exchange feature to convert from one medium of exchange to another. I also understand how BTC maxis are protective of growing BTC adoption if they feel like BCH is trying to replace their efforts to build BTC to the 1.8T market cap that it is (vs. BCH 10B). There could be high value in 2 truly scare currencies in the world seeing as how there are hundreds of inflationary fiat ones! So utilizing BCH for the purpose of current value of instant, sovereign transactions is a better battle to fight than going for the complete take down of BTC imo

I got a pet project I was playing with - I am monitoring the top 30 trading wallets from hyperliquid (with weekly rotations - to pick the best 30). I got an alerting signals there, with a lot of data I am storing and gathering.
I am curious if this is something people would want to pay for?
What should I add there?
I am curious if this is useful for anyone outside of me ;)

I’ll buy one BTC for $14.

Bitcoin might have a decent “risk-reward” setup right now, but that’s still just a bet on price movement.
It doesn’t change the simple truth that Bitcoin’s entire market behavior is driven by speculation, leverage, and macro mood swings. Fact.
Even the analyst admits the current setup only looks good because BTC has already priced in a ton of fear. That’s not strength…that’s volatility.
A possible rebound doesn’t turn Bitcoin into real financial infrastructure.
It still isn’t built for payments, settlement, or regulated banking rails. So if someone wants to gamble on a bounce, fine..but don’t confuse a speculative setup with actual utility or long term purpose.

*You are technically correct about convertible notes structure vs traditional margin loans. However, you are ignoring the refinancing risk and the massive short interest that will hit MSTR stock if BTC breaks $80k. It becomes a zombie company unable to service the coupons without dilution. It's a soft liquidation, not a hard one. But the effect on liquidity is the same. Let's revisit this in 4 weeks*

A bit late to join the party, no? Unless you're buying WHOLE coins nowadays, or doing massive leverage trades, you're not really going to get rich. Sorry to break it to you. You're about 5-6 years late to the party. Some will say you're 13 years late, but I'm no BTC OG myself, so 5 is sufficient.

I’m not here to hate or fight. I’m also holding SHIB and have been for years now. I just notice patterns, like PEPE, and others that blew up. There’s a lot of talk around Epstein being associated with BTC. I’m certain we can experience a huge transfer of wealth and I just want to make sure everyone gets their slices of the pie when it comes. Much love.

BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, RYO

Maybe use BTC as collateral when you need some big purchase?

Play puts and call on precious metals and miners are dangerous. I just buy leverage ETF and exit if market turn. There are just too many variables to play options. This crypto uptrend is a dead cat bounce. I am waiting for rebound top to buy the short ETF. My research indicate the next BTC down going to be brutal.

Sounds like a plan. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. First, BTC is so limited if you can't make the open channel tx you also won't be able to make the swapping tx. I don't even know if you could do atomic swaps between BTC and BCH with BTCs limited OP Codes. BCH and XMR have atomic swaps.
Second. BCH is Bitcoin and has the same SoV properties. Once people swap into BCH and see it is useful there is no need to swap back. What blurs that realization today is branding and an army of maxis hating on BCH.
But as long as demand for BTC transactions is low you can do this. I think Throrswap offers BTC and BCH and is decentralized.

I think it was more a matter of waiting for the market cap to grow large enough they one could sell that much and not crash the market and therefore the price.
Some had enough BTC that the market price would crash before they could ever sell all they had.

BTC and ETH.
Then XRP, SOL and maybe HBAR.
I know the latter 3 people love talking mad shit about it, but they’re here to stay for many reasons, both logical and illogical.

In the crypto verse 5 years it’s a loong. No one can know the future, but I like to see the comments with everyone trying to pump their bags lol.
Bitcoin is still king and as the strongest changes.
Another awesome option having real app, plenty dev, biggest revenue and adoption from
The real world is Solana. Didn’t saw a single person mention this one. I would stick with BTC and Sol (80%-20%) ration just to be safe.
Always monitor as this can change in a blink of an eye

I have BTC, IBIT, and MSTR.

Ah, the classic pattern-based prediction! I've seen so many of these over the years. What's your methodology here? I remember in 2017 when people were drawing triangles saying BTC would hit $100k by 2020. These predictions are fun but always take them with a mountain of salt. Which pattern are you looking at specifically?

That book he wrote was the one everyone over on r/bitcoin tells to read. They think it is the most revolutionary book ever written. I read it, it was utter crap. Terribly written, opinionated, everything he didn’t like in the world from modern art, literature (even Britney Spears) and every civilisation that ever went down hill, he blamed on going off the gold standard or equivalent.
It did more to turn me off BTC than everything else. Then I read Hijacking Bitcoin and everything suddenly made sense.
He’s not a very smart cookie.
