I have all of the above but would only recommend BTC in hindsight. It's a wonderful thing

You can’t have BTC in your retirement fund.

Anyways, whole point of post is that institutions are signaling increase interest in BTC and we’ll find out if this is true during the weekday when institutions trade, because they don’t trade on weekends.

Clearly BTC, ETH, BCH, and DOGE.

Yep, I’ve held crypto on exchanges for almost a decade and I’d love to do self custody and have it more secure but there’s so many options and so much jargon that I don’t even know where to start. Hell I don’t even have my own bitcoin address and right now I’m only holding BTC.

I know no one will listen but you can, just don’t buy stupid stuff. I did retire in my 30s,. I think I worked only a few year out of college parlayed my knowledge of semi conductors.
I used to be in this field wrote about AMD probably 8 years ago and was buying that stock at $1.80

4/5 years ago when NVDA was under $30 (split price) I said they really have no peer in this space and it will probably be the biggest company in the world.

If I found a decent investment I’d put every bit of spare money I had to it.
DON’T waste your money on consumerism.
Drive an old Toyota 15+ years old but it has everything heated seats, Navi, power everything it probably runs better than new cars and I only pay liability.
Don’t buy stuff, people literally throw out really nice desks, TVs, computers, workout equipment, weights at my college town every end of month and definite end of semester year. I furnished my first place all with free good stuff. Old fridge, old washer/dryer they are way better built than the new ones. Free bikes. I never really buy clothes either and when I do it’s the thrift store.
No subscriptions I buy DVDs for 25 cents and watch over the air or YouTube with adblocker
Nothing in my house furniture wise was bought, it was all free and it’s all really good stuff. All that money I saved in car payments/insurance, clothes furniture, subscriptions I put into AMD, NVDA, BTC etc
I don’t feed these stupid subscriptions, I have a decent Toyota but I like riding my free bikes it’s great exercise and I rarely fill up the car.
I think I only worked a few years ~5 years, the last few I had enough money and I’d show up 1 day a week and being financially independent I pretty much gave them the Office Space FU the 1 day I did work then in my 30s I said time was too valuable to waste working.
It’s possible don’t buy stuff, the less you buy the more you can invest and if it hits. Boom you’re set no more rat race but you need a decent amount invested to make it compound to life changing money.
This isn’t a brag post most people would see my 15+ yo car, my thrift store clothes and think I’m poor but I retired in my 30s and my time is all mine, no one to tell when.where to be, no alarm, I have no idea what day it is sometimes, Monday or Thursday or Saturday is all the same, just travel the world and learn.

Ok play this game from today.
If you bought 1 BTC today. Extrapolate where it would be in 10 years

\*claps\*
Someone should have written "mind your business" on BTC to help with this situation.

Agreed. And more will pivot, unless the BTC price goes up a lot more to outpace the halving and inflation.

If it’s BTC, then you will be working with a centralized entity for loans. There is no DeFi for native BTC. That strategy can work on Ethereum, but not Bitcoin. OTOH, if you don’t care about working with a centralized entity, go for it.

Why not just buy BTC?

This is what I’ve ended up doing with my crypto investments in a tax sheltered account. I have some tokens and liquidity on chain from airdrops, etc. but my ‘real’ money ends up in BTC and ETH ETFs and a few bucks on SOL.

Sir- Im not "acting" like anything. Its night and day between the concensus systems.
Factually anyone can mine Bitcoin-and well ask ppl in Venezuela what they were doing when their economy collapsed.
You are incorrect on POS as th token holders dont just "ose" their stake. If they did it wouldnt be POS anymore.
I feel you are havng a hard time grasping what POW is. DOesnt matter if the mining (at this time) is dominated by industrial operations. If the day ever came when those "industrial operations" did not mine BTC- guess what? The blockchain can still go on.
Whereas in POS- when the stakeholders are gone- the blockchain is gone. Poof. With BTC its virtually impossible for that to happen. You also seem to be stuck on "energy" which POS requires the same.

Have I been using this wrong? When I buy BTC with Revolut I’m charged a 1.49% fee? I just read it and it says crypto ‘exchange’ has no fees. Am I getting charged because I’m ’trading’ it. What’s the difference? I put the gbp in directly from my banking app, then go to crypto tab and click buy BTC. Should I be doing it differently to avoid the fee?

Eventually, most of it becomes tiresome. BTC Sessions, The Bitcoin Way, and TFTC do good long form content though. Not moonboy shit, fundamentals, technology, and freedom focussed.

!p BTC

Good for you, but this is currently not possible for many people.
And let me ask you, what unit of account does your grocer use? Does he charge the same amount of BTC every month or does it move with its price?
Imagine a working class family trying to make this work.

Local produce provider and local grocer accepts BTC, I work freelance and take payment in BTC, house is paid off. 
I don’t need to rely on centralized govt or institutions to live my life.

Considering how nearly every moment of 2025 has been economically unpredictable and wrought with uncertainty even while BTC pushed to new ATH's in half the months of the year... was a 150k prediction that's only 19% farther above the 126k ATH really that extravagant?
