You know you can short BTC right?
... just checking

Lots of opinions here. I helped each of my children get a Coinbase account and started them out.
I will tell you like I would tell my own in this situation. Put in pennies in slowly currently or better yet only buy USDC and collect the interest right now.
Start really buying in November 2026-November 2027 as much as you can afford. At least 80% in BTC the other 20% you can gamble with, with whatever is hot next cycle.

Buy MSTR stock or just buy BTC directly? Do they do anything special?

BTC and all the U.S stock market is red today due to the japan announcing they might hike the rents in december, since japan always had 0 or negative rates, the fact it is 0.5% rn, and they are considering hiking it caused panic.

Huh? The USD is down nearly 10% this year. This is why you shouldn't copy paste bullshit responses from LLMs without verifying.
This is an analysis and investment sub. Don't trust LLMs with your money.
The recent move has been driven by a flight-to-safety risk-off move. Investors got spooked with forced liquidations in BTC and a downward swing in US indices, pulling money out of speculative investments and putting it in risk-free bonds.

I know that feeling. To avoid delays and invasive calls, I trade on Delta Exchange. The platform offers BTC and ETH derivatives with robust security, low fees, and an intuitive interface perfect for disciplined trading without dealing with bank interruptions or extra scrutiny.

What is it called when you send someone BTC in exchange for goods?

You have not set a stop loss or a take profit price for this trade.
After opening this trade, your remaining cash balance is $90,000.00
Good luck!

Depends on your speculation thesis. If you believe BTC will set a new all time high eventually (even when it is in a couple of years), it is not a bad time to buy some BTC. If not then yes, expensive as fuck. 

Taxes. Don't want to give anything to the IRS so someday I'll take a loan out on my BTC.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF records 114 million dollars in net outflows as volatility spikes
The market is getting shaky again. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF just saw 114 million dollars in net outflows, suggesting investors are pulling back while price swings remain high.
What it signals:
• institutions are taking risk off the table
• volatility is making even big players cautious
• outflows don’t mean bearish long term, but short term sentiment is clearly weak
Even with BTC showing recovery attempts, large ETF movements like this usually reflect uncertainty rather than conviction.

I don't know where there are good ways to short BTC that don't eat you alive on fees or involve exchanges I wouldn't trust. What do you think is the best way to short it?

Ål in MSTR. Om BTC vänder har du snabba procent då du mer eller mindre köper BTC med häv (men i faktiskt aktie-format). Om BTC inte vänder har du inte förlorat några riktiga pengar åtminstone (till skillnad från de som faktiskt köpt MSTR).

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading around $90,359 on the monthly chart after making a new all-time high of $126,245 in October 2025. Monthly indicators show a mixed picture: a bullish EMA stack (EMA10 > EMA20 > EMA50), a neutral RSI, weak trend strength (ADX 10.57), and a bearish MACD histogram. Key resistance sits in the $92–97k band with the next targets near $101.7k; major support clusters converge near $59k and deeper Fibonacci levels. Timeframe and volume caveats suggest a consolidation with a longer-term bullish tilt but short-term indecision.

The type of shit u comment when u have 0.05 BTC

Saylor stopped buying for the week so price drops again. Any moment Saylor will tweet that they bought more BTC for 90k average price.

Taxation isn’t tied to the currency.
Govs already tax income, property, imports, etc. no matter what asset you hold.
You can get paid in BTC, gold, or bananas — you’re still taxed in fiat.
Bitcoin fixes money, not fiscal policy.

Dude, your strategy is guaranteed to not sell at the top since you're already selling all the way up without having any idea where the top is. And if there's a flash crash you're buying all the way to the bottom.
Your strategy is guaranteed to make money as long as BTC swings up and down around your 60k number. Problem is that you pulled that number out of your ass. If BTC rises above your high point you have zero exposure to any upside and that's exactly what has happened every time so far. In other words: if you "run out" of BTC when it hits 110k, what do you do when it hits 125k? 150k? Do you buy back in or do you stay out of the market and hope for it to crash low enough so your buy orders execute? That may never happen again and at that point you're just watching from the side lines.
Bottom line: Don't try to be clever and time the market without timing the market. There are major market participants that are much smarter than you or I, who have basically unlimited funds and technical resources and the only way that you can guarantee to not lose against them is to not make any decision at all. Just hold.
If you run out at 110k then you're not in the market anymore. What happens when it hits 125k? Do you go back in at a loss? In this case you would've been saved by the bell. Sure you're not exposed to any downward risk, but you're not exposed to the upside either

How would you tax someone with BTC in order to pay for public expenses?
