They are literally a luring projects that speculates in the crypto ecosystem just to acquire values but all to no avail to profer investors any form of reliability like bitcoin does.

Bitcoin has proven itself back to back and still holding the kingship in the crypto industry and as a matter of fact that the market is uncertainty, the risk of Investing in bitcoin is only at it unpredictability while the shitcoins is project entirely surrounded with risks that you don't even know if the coin is still going to exists talk more of yielding good values.


Bitcoin was built by its founder with the purest of intentions to change the world and to solve the problem of money/create a better form of money. Those other cryptocurrencies that were created AFTER Bitcoin took advantage of the community's interest on crypto and took their Bitcoin away from them.

Those people who HODL shitcoins will debate with you to protect the value of their coins without actually understanding the underlying.


I agree with you and everyone in the space of every other coins exempt bitcoin is prioritized on making profits While the intention of bitcoin as the eyeopener with the essence of decentralization are being neglected by many users which those Investing in the shit coins forget to consider if the coin they are Investing on could serve utility value in real life neither can it be considered a store of value because as investment is concerned, the asset should be expected to outcome a store of values of we must consider long term goal but unfortunately, those investing in the shitcoins are purely gambling and thought they are holding long term potential assets like that of bitcoin.


With Bitcoin, Satoshi's approach was definitely a more technical approach. Although he wanted to build decentralized network to send and receive transactions, I believe the potential monetary "value" of such a system was the least important in his mind.


I certainly believe the his primary intention for bitcoin was the decentralization literally a unique form of custodian unlike the traditional currencies and it subject to store of values but then, users was optimistic underlining it most essence on profitablity given it a less values for everyday use for transactions such as payments for goods and services. But I think this is just the beginning because generations to come will find this financial technology more convenient to be in used than the fiats because as the world evolves, so also the need of Privacies becomes everyone's concern.

Is Buying Shares of a BTC ETF a good way for non-tech new (late-to the game) investors to invest in BTC?   


Not a bad ideal buying shares of bitcoin through the ETF. As a non Tech who tend to be buying aggressively with a long term interest, it saves you a lot of stress and a key to insurances so that you don't get driven by Fomo or lack of management because there is a management structure in the firm of being a shareholder with the ETF.

The reason why some people panic is not because they don't know the volatility nature of Bitcoin but rather the reason why most people panic is because of wrong investment approach, especially those who are Investing for short term, once they invest more than they are suppose to invest because of the feeling and hope that the price will go up and unfortunately the price start dipping they will surely panic because they have made a very big mistake and that is the reason why we should not invest for short term and should not also invest with what we can not afford to let go because it will make one to be monitoring the market which is a stress and waste of time.
You are right about what you said here,  just you have said already, the two things that makes a bitcoin investor panic anytime their is a dip in the market first is either that person is a newbie that knows nothing about bitcoin and it volatile nature or that person is investing what he cannot afford to lose, but if a newbie investor has knowledge about bitcoin and it volatile nature, and he is investing an amount he can afford to lose, he will definitely not panic anytime their is a dip in the market.
Note the difference between bitcoin trade and investment, a trader always study the market trend frequent and it doesn’t give room for success meanwhile investing has to do with long term plan and essential strategy to invest either dca etc. I’m only pointing out this because sotelorene talked about short term and a short term plan only has to do with trade I guess those who find themselves in such situation are not ready for investment else they know what bitcoin investment is all about, definitely the dip can’t panic an investor because when it comes you just have to buy and hold for a long period of time 4 to 10 years most likely although it might take longer depending on the target.
I’m not doubting the fact newbies are bound to make mistakes, newbies make mistakes then learn to correct their mistakes if only they’re ready to learn. We all had an ugly experience when starting that’s why the forum can be seen as a guide that will help educate newbie investors not to follow quick gains likewise investing only for a short period of time.


You have all talked interestingly but Miles2006, out this in thought that even those investing in a period of 4 years are still considered the short term investors because the period of their holding can not be compared to those investing ahead their retirements ba above 20 years or an average of 10 years.
Let's also understand the accumulation strategies of traders and investors are not the Same. Traders buys at any given time and sells at any cost while investors look out to buy at any price though but targets the dip and holds within estimated period of time while considering the market price before they can sell which ideally get those short term investors into fomo while long term investors remains focus because they don't intend to sell anytime soon.

Re: John McAfee and his $100k to $1 million prediction
by
Cryptohygenic
on 24/07/2025, 22:16:05 UTC

I see both guys being too playful with their speculations and I think they ma either making some mockery about the potential potential price of bitcoin. Looking at the date of their speculation, bitcoin has made over $19,000 in 2017 according to coin market cap historical data while Tyler is expecting $10,000 like it is price that has not been experienced but let's say his $10,000 expectation was as a result of price decline below the $10,000 which should be assumed to be one of those of us expecting recovery after price drops.
I would not want to be skeptic with John's speculation though, but I think his predictions was more of critic because by the June 20th 2019, $100,000 was extremely too high for the speculation when the current Ath as at then has not near even 50% of his $100,000 speciation talk more of $1,000,000. I feel John was specifically being a mock even and did not believe bitcoin will reach $100,000 in the first place.
Yeah, bitcoin is proven every skeptics wrong as it is devots to breaking Aths and because bitcoin has reached John's $100,000 prediction we may think he is one of the enthusiasts like we would always predict and expect higher price in the future. See... Not all everyone speculators are genuine, some are just junks. Although I don't know the state of mind of John but that $100,000 and $1,000,000 speculation seem to be a mock to Tyler's speculations.
Even we in today that has experienced bitcoin price at $123,000 in this 2025 believes it may reach $1,000,000 but that is seem too much to be expected and as for me, I am cool in the meantime hoping it will reach $150,000 to $200,000 in the short term but yet indefinite while $1,000,000 can be expected as we keep to advance in breaking higher Aths.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?

on 24/07/2025, 20:44:53 UTC
A friend of mine just got into Bitcoin, lucky for him, his successful. Before he started Bitcoin, he was actually into a good business of selling artwork which wasn't so bad. So he got introduced to Bitcoin and had a quick success. It's actually a good and exciting thing to see someone progress fast like that, but he quit selling artworks and other little businesses that kept him going he stopped, he now depends fully on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks


Maybe you can expect something different from that your friend who shutdown his reliable and quick return of source of incomes for bitcoin that the tendencies to earn income is uncertain of when it will come. I would not want to engage on quoting you or your friend wrong rather, I am on the stance to know if is your friend feeling good with the decision he made or not? Because I know as human we ought to need that regular provision of Incomes to sort out need which I know the uncertainty on bitcoin investment could not make provisions for those short term needs.
So I tend to ask, how have your friend been feeling since the While? I think your response would define it you are correct or wrong.

The lure of shitcoins can often seem very real and believable — the promise of profit, new technology, or the success stories of a particular investor — and can easily entice any of us. But Bitcoin is the product of patience, market research, and self-discipline. We can help them with information, experience, and empathy. Everyone learns at a different pace, and while some get there quickly, many learn through mistakes and experience.

If you're already familiar with Bitcoin and can distinguish it from other shitcoins, it's best not to be immediately tempted by such nonsense because the fundamentals of shitcoins are difficult to predict going forward, especially if they've just been launched. Therefore, everyone would be much better off focusing on long-term assets with solid fundamentals like Bitcoin, because shitcoins won't always be able to provide long-term profits and convince many people, even if the promises of their founders seem appealing.

And you should also know that the success stories of these investors are in Bitcoin, although there may be others in other sectors as well. However, Bitcoin, which has been favored by more investors, has provided something quite tangible, as its founders themselves have never uttered any nonsense. So, this is something we need to digest carefully, because Bitcoin has never looked at or used other people's concepts to grow, while the founders of shitcoins are those who have seen Bitcoin grow rapidly to this point.

Re: Is DCA Still the Smartest Strategy in This Stage of the Cycle?
by
Cryptohygenic
on 23/07/2025, 22:42:36 UTC


Many people DCA during bear markets when prices are low and fear is high. But with current prices climbing and sentiment shifting toward greed, is it still wise to keep averaging in at regular intervals?


I don't know if that's a wise choice, but I know there's a whale that's still doing it no matter how high bitcoin goes, and I don't think people who pour billions of dollars into BItcoin are stupid.

Strategy recently purchased 6,2k BTC worth about $739.8 million at $118,000 per bitcoin, bringing its total bitcoin holdings to 607,770 bitcoins, worth about $73 billion.

According to statistics, in 2025 alone, Strategy has DCA at least 13 times at many different prices. It can be seen that whales are still accumulating bitcoin regardless of the price, why are small investors like us skeptical or afraid?

If we plan to hold for the long term and only sell when we reach our target, DCA will always be correct in every market.


There is no accumulating strategy that is better as Dcaing but the pros lies between investors sentiments and their discretionary incomes. Once you have a steady income flows with a consistent desire headed towards a specific target, you would even not care about the price but following your initiated buying intervals and Strategy has surpassed the state of being driven by emotional sentiments because they have the money in their cooperative partnership and has been structured in a long term. So they have no time to feel Fomo even on the Dip after buying on a higher price.
Panics and emotional sentiments are exhibitions of investors with regular buying. They look up to what price it is before they buys and are driven by Fomo because of their short term goals because they don't have sufficient discretionary incomes to keep them off from the volatile market before for a long term especially when the price is going bear.

Re: Chances to buy Bitcoin back

on 22/07/2025, 13:31:09 UTC
I am reluctant to do that, to be honest, before asking knowledgeable people about whether there still be Bitcoin waiting to be bought by me in next correction? I mean BTC availability due to its growing scarcity.
(Considering the volumes in which Black Rock, Michael Saylor and other big players are gobbling down BTC...)

Your thoughts please


If you are okay with the value of profits you have acquired as periodically you are a short term investor with Fomo, you can sell but you sounds well equipped to stil keep going for a longer time so I don't know about your financial background or state of emotions otherwise,  I will advice you don't have to sell just because you have feasibly made some profits.
Mind you, the bull run is not over yet meaning of you keep holding you will be chance to earn more profits.
But if at all whether you sold or not but you decide to buy bitcoin in the future, the market is always open for you to buy from traders who are 24/7 active to sell and buy at any given price.

Talk about possibilities to buy bitcoin in the next correction event, be known that out of the total 21M BTCs, 19.66M has been mined while we still have 1.34M are still unmined around the year 2140. Which means we have over a century for the total bitcoins to be mined.
So there is no need to be feared if you will still be chanced to buy after selling in the meantime. This is why we keep saying here that there Investors still have opportunities to buy and as it stances, there is no recognized late comers or deprivations of enthusiasts buying Bitcoin in the near future.

Don't feel too comfortable with the exchange Op otherwise you'll lost your money to the internet fraudsters because the crypto exchange providers could be vulnerable to be hacked and there'll be no assurance that you will be reimbursed but while the chances to be reimbursed from the banks maybe high, that of exchange will be limited. Of all you need to understand that banking is more reliable than the exchange if we also consider long term holding due to insurance while they are all regulated.

Re: Can Bitcoin hold the leadership position for ever because the world changes?
by
Cryptohygenic
on 19/07/2025, 10:35:29 UTC
The question is very much arguable; many will present their facts and reasons for why they chose the answer they chose. Currently there is no asset that has proven to be competitive with Bitcoin, so we can say that Bitcoin will sit on that throne for a long period of time.

But we are in the era of change, where new impressive innovations are welcomed and accepted. If in the near future there is ever going to be a new asset that will fill in the gap that many consider to be very important, then there will be a shift in choice, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, not even in the next few decades, but in the near future we should be ready to accept change.


You really talked so genuinely. Some would say never, there is no going to be a replacement of bitcoin. Let's take that of  US $ which has muchly been an interesting global reserve currency but today, even the US governments are looking up to diversify into bitcoin for their federal reserve because the $ is fast loosing values and same time loosing it global interests.
Likewise the gold, it has also been an utmost attractive point of commercial value for store of values but today it is bitcoin era and everyone governments and institution companies who understands the concept and possible evolutions of digital technologies believing the reality of digital assets are fast approaching to invest on it.

Perhaps other advanced assets ahead of bitcoin may come to existence because the world is free for developments that would be of the interest of the people but for now, it is unimaginable to figure what that asset to sideline bitcoin would be. That is get me agree with you that the dominance of bitcoin is going to last like it is going to stay in that first class asset position until then the one to overshadow it will be discovered. For now, let is assume it's an illusion until it is realistic.

Re: want to know btc in the future.....

on 18/07/2025, 12:50:30 UTC
I've heard that Bitcoin will finish mining in 2140, which is certainly a long way off. There's still a chance for us to continue dca BTC, as there's a strong possibility that in the future we'll see a higher BTC price than today, as BTC is constantly being mined, and we'll eventually see the BTC supply dwindle. Currently, I know there's only a small amount of unmined BTC left, approximately 1,100,000. While the number currently mined is 19,900,000, there's still time to accumulate BTC.


Okay I am not going to be concerned about how many bitcoins and been mined and unmined. We just need to understand that the factor of Dcaing on accumulating strategy won't get to restrictions because even while all the 21 millions has been mined, treaders and short term investors can still be supplying for those who want to buy and then there is going to be highily inflation on the purchase of bitcoin.

Quote
However, I'd like to know if there will be BTC miners once the supply is fully mined, and will the fees for sending from wallets to exchanges be high? I also wonder if the price fluctuations will be similar to the current bearish and bullish market. Currently, BTC is widely traded, buying at a low price and selling at a high price. But will BTC trading be possible in the future, similar to daily trading? I think this is worth discussing... Smiley


After the total 21 millions of bitcoin is mined, there will be no space for mining and will not longer be earning on the mining tasks rather, they will still facilitate on integrating the complexities of the blockchain with also the efforts to validate transactions as usual and make assured the security system is solid enough for reliability.
Then they will be earning rewards from the above services with the high fee of transactions.

Re: How about a happy breaking another bitcoin All Time High

Bitcoin price drop from the new ATH to $117k for now but that doesn't mean it won't get back up and it has taken too long for it to get to $122k, let's see how the market movement will look like, who knows it can still make another move to a new ATH. Still believe that in the next 3 days we might be seeing something new. This might be a time for traders and investors to stop panicking especially newbies who feel Bitcoin was going to bump anytime soon.

If you ask me Bitcoin will move to another all time high but there is no guarantee that it will make new all time high now, this week, this month or later. There is no need for the bitcoin traders (spot) and investors to panic even if Bitcoin dumps. So we should not be selling our coins and always look for a big picture.

Yeah, if you're a future trader and you have taken a trade with a high leverage, then there is a chance that you may get liquidated even if the markets move against you, even in the short term.

Not every one who has the patience that you have when it comes to holding or time to sell, is very tricky to perfectly understand how Bitcoin price works but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at it from a different angle of going up because many are scared only when the price drops and stays that way. About the ATH I still believe it can still happen if not now but before this month runs out depending on how promising the market has been since 3 to 4 days now.


Investors state of emotions differs and everyone just have to take decision as much they can handle. We all know the good fortunes  behind long term investment but the truth is that not everyone can do it and those Invested for short terms does not mean they are of the wrong decision. The only problem about it is our inflows of incomes that would not be a problem of warranting us to sell without undermining the price just because of emergency needs. If we have made some good profits in the short term and we could not resists the Fomo when price drops just after In a high price, of course we can sell, take profits and ready to buy at the Dip again.
