Yeah bruh, the adoption today is nothing compared to what it used to be some years back TBH... i remember back then in 2017 Bitcoin was kidda still a baby then, compared to now though, the global adoption of Bitcoin was still very tiny, around 2% of the world’s population. At that point, only a few people understood what they were holding, I didn’t even took advantage of Bitcoin back then in 2017.. At the beginning of 2017 Bitcoin was just around $15 to 17 billion, but by mid 2017 it was already climbing up into the $40 to 70 billion range which was crazily fast, and before the year ended in December when Bitcoin touched $20k, the market cap pushed close to $300 to 330 billion… That was a crazy run but still small compared to what we are seeing now.. So talking about Bitcoin adoption, there’s still a wide range for growth…

If we’re to talk about today in 2025, which is so obvious, things have scaled really massively… Even though it is still early, less than 6% of the global population is involved with Bitcoin… That number might look small first, but when you compare it to 2017, it is a huge jump. .  The market cap too has told its own success story already, from just $15B–$17B at the start of 2017, we are now sitting on over $2.2 trillion in value.. This growth alone shows how deep adoption has gone and why companies and even institutions are no longer shy about embracing Bitcoin…

Now let’s pause and just imagine this… WHAT IF 20% OF THE WORLD ADOPTS BITCOIN?? Haha    Right now we are talking less than 6% and the market cap is already $2.2 trillion… If adoption hits 20%, that is more than three times the present level. Theoretically, you could be looking at a Bitcoin market cap crossing $7–8 trillion easily, maybe even brushing against the size of gold market cap… That is not small at all bruh, it is a possibility if adoption keeps compounding the way it has from 2017 till now…

That is why I do not see any need for panic when short term price swings happen... Bitcoin has already proven it strength by growing from almost nothing into a multi trillion dollar asset in just over a decade. The trend is clear, adoption continues to rise and the whole thing is getting stronger.. The numbers do not lie.. if Bitcoin could jump from less than 1% adoption to nearly 6% in less than ten years, then the next wave could be even bigger than what we have seen so far….

Bruh, i think the biggest challenge most people face is not really about the money itself, but about mindset and discipline. It is easy to say i will start tomorrow or keep waiting for the so called perfect entry, but that delay later turns into regret when the price takes off.. The truth is, there is always going to be a reason to hesitate, but the people who actually build something out of Bitcoin are those who act even when they do not feel 100% sure...

Another thing is sacrifice like you mentioned. A lot of folks can afford that daily soda, those constant Netflix Subscription, or even weekly hangouts, but they never pause to think and redirect a fraction of that into stacking Bitcoin.. It does not take a huge capital to start, it just takes consistency and a little self control.. Over time those little pieces add up, but because people want quick results, they do not value the slow and steady approach..

At the end of the day, it is more about someone plan, vision and patience. If you think only about the now, you will always miss the bigger picture.. The early adopters were not sure either, but they planted their seeds regardless. That is why I see Bitcoin more as a test of conviction than just an investment.. You either believe enough to lay a foundation, or you keep watching from the while others reap the rewards later...

This is true, because waiting around for Bitcoin to drop more is how a lot of people end up with nothing… Truth is, nobody can tell you the exact bottom, and if you keep waiting for it, you might just sit there and watch the price double before you even make your first buy… Even now, what looks expensive today will probably look cheap a few years from now, that is just how Bitcoin has always moved..

That is why DCA really saves you from all that headache..  Instead of stressing about the perfect entry, you just keep buying little by little no matter the price. Sometimes you will buy high, sometimes low, but in the long run your Bitcoin stack keeps growing. It might look slow, but it works way better than trying to play smart and timing everything…



The thing here is, only people who can actually plan their finances well that end up having something left to invest. If you are just spending randomly and every little income goes straight into bills, then you will never see extra money for Bitcoin.. Discretionary income does not appear by magic, it comes from being intentional about your money, cutting out waste, and setting priorities right…..

Those who manage to keep aside discretionary funds are the ones who can afford to take that step into building wealth. It does not matter whether they earn a lot or a little, what matters is they know how to budget.. Someone earning average pay but disciplined with their money will stack way more Bitcoin than a high earner who spends everything without thinking..

At the end of the day, investing in Bitcoin comes down to planning. If you can not control your finances, you will always end up touching your investment or not even starting at all. But if you are able to consistently put aside even a small bit as discretionary income, then you are already in the game…

The fact that most of us here, including myself, believe in the DCA strategy does not mean it is the only surviving strategy out there. So saying only those who follow DCA will be successful is just totally wrong, man. Let’s be honest, people have different approaches, some stack in bulk when they have funds. They all still end up building their bag, just not the same way.

Yes, the part yu talked about holding Bitcoin for the long term, you are actually right with that… Time is the edge anyone can have in Bitcoin investment... But you should also realize that even with DCA being one of the best strategies, it is not the single path to success.. The real goal is to keep stacking and not panic sell, regardless of how you are doing it…

Personally, I will still advise DCAing because that is what I use and it has kept me consistent without stressing too much..  But at the end of the day, what matters is they are stacking BTC and holding strong, because that is what will count in the long run…

Bruh, do you even understand what you said, Loyang? Because honestly it does not really add up. You are saying someone does not need a stable job to invest, but still needs discretionary income.. Now let’s be real, question for you: if a person does not have a job or at least something consistent bringing in money, how exactly are they supposed to have discretionary income?? You can not spend what you do not earn, so it sounds a bit contradictory…

Yes, it is true not every income is fully stable, some people freelance, some hustle, some do business, and that is fine. But even with that, there still has to be some form of steady inflow before you can even think of setting money aside for investing.. Without that base, you are just talking theory. Investment comes from actual earnings and not is created out of thin air, whether stable or not..

That is why most people always advise having a stable source of income, if possible, before taking investing seriously. Especially with Bitcoin, because effective DCA works best when you have money coming in consistently. The truth is If you are always struggling with where the next cash is coming from, you will either break your plan or end up selling early….

Honestly, keeping money in the bank these days feels more like you are just holding it for the system rather than for yourself.. The interest you get is nothing compared to how fast inflation eats it away, so in the end you are still slowly losing value without even noticing.  At least with Bitcoin you know your money is not sitting idle, it is stored in something that has proven to grow stronger over time no matter how many dips come in between.

Another thing is, banks are only as reliable as the government behind them, and it is obvious governance is shaky, and that trust gets weaker by the day.  People have saved for years, while their currency has lost half its value overnight. That is a different type of pain entirely.. With Bitcoin, you are outside that trap, because no government can suddenly decide to print more and dilute what you have been working for. It gives you more control, and I think that is the biggest advantage.

Of course, it does not mean you throw every last cent into Bitcoin and forget about daily needs, but if you have some extra income like you said, turning it into BTC regularly is way better than leaving it to rot in fiat. At the end of the day, it’s about protecting what you already have from being stolen silently by inflation. That is the part most people do not realize until it is too late…


Yeah exactly, panic in this market does more damage than the dip itself. If someone chooses to invest in Bitcoin, the first thing they should prepare for is swings both ways. Thinking it is only going to go up just because you are holding some coins is like setting yourself up for unnecessary stress.

I always see downturns as part of the normal breathing of the market. If you can not handle those red days without losing sleep, then maybe it is better not to be in at all…

You are right, I never really looked at it that way before but it makes sense. ATHs do pull in a new set of people who suddenly believe this thing is real and dips are usually where you see who was only here for quick money.. It is almost like Bitcoin has its own way of separating noise from the serious players, and it keeps repeating the same test every cycle..

And that price memory point you made is so true.. yeah that $20k felt like an impossible wall back in then, and then in 2020 when it finally broke, it was not just another number anymore, it became a solid floor. Since then I do not even look at those old levels the same way, they just turn into history marks. and that is probably going to keep happening with every new ATH we see..

For me, I just see ATHs and dips as two sides of the same coin. The hype pulls you in, the dip checks your patience, and if you survive both, you end up stronger. It is not always easy to sit through it, but that is literally the game with Bitcoin especially with a long term mind set..

Honestly, taking a temporary break from gambling is not wrong at all, infact in some cases, it is probably the smartest thing you can do.. Some people will think stepping away is a sign of weakness, but it is really just giving yourself the chance to breathe, reset and see things more clearly. When you are deep in the game, emotions get messy, and ur decisions can be reckless, pausing for a bit will only prevent you from making moves you’ll regret later.

For me, breaks help me reflect on my mindset. It is not about quitting; it is about coming back more in control.. Honestly, some of my best decisions in gambling have come right after a short pause, when I was able to see the clear picture without the pressure of chasing a win. Sometimes, stepping back is exactly what you need to move forward smarter...

I do not know why this sounds so true and cool in my ears haha , but in reality it is actually 100% true.. Every ATH will surely be a dip sometime in the future, no matter how big the hype feels at that moment.. The market always has a way of proofing itself, and what looks like the very top today usually turns into a stepping stone later on.. It is just the natural way of Bitcoin price now...

The interesting part is how people react to it. Some get scared and think the dip is the end, while others understand it is simply part of the journey..  A dip after ATH does not mean failure, it is more like the Bitcoin catching its breath.. In fact, without those dips, how would you expect enough strength to push for new highs.?.  And is the people that sees this as an opportunity instead of a threat that usually ends up ahead..

For me now, TBH, I do not really celebrate some of these ATHs too much, because honestly they come and go like normal phases in Bitcoin.. The key prices I will be celebrating are when we are talking about serious price like $200k to $1m haha , that is the kind of level that will change the whole conversation around Bitcoin and even the financial sector at large. I have got my eyes on those prices lol, until then every other ATH in between just feels like checkpoints on a long road trip... i am not saying it is bad to acknowledge them, it is just how i see it.. In all my point is the dip is not the opposite of ATH, it is actually the partner that makes the next ATH possible...

Why would someone even with what he or she is seeing going on with Bitcoin atm still be looking for someone to convince him or her, then you are just been extremely funny, because the proof is already in front of us…. Bitcoin track record atm speaks way louder than any words..  At the same time, I also think some people are not really blind, they are just stuck in a comfort zone where the old financial system feels safer since it is all they have known… For them, it is not that they do not see Bitcoin, it is more like they refuse to step out of that box.. And sometimes, those kinds of people only learn the hard way when inflation or restrictions hit them directly…

But here is the funny thing, Bitcoin does not actually need everyone to believe in it.. it will keep running whether people join in or not. That is the beauty of it, it rewards early believers while still keeping the door open for latecomers, So in the end, I would say there is no point convincing anyone when there is proof..


Those kind of people are just being funny and a bit ignorant.. Anyone who jumps into Bitcoin thinking it is a get rich quick thing clearly has not taken the time to study what they are investing in.. If they had even scratched the surface and learn a little about Bitcoin or even Bitcoin history, they would know patience is literally part of the game. You do not plant a seed today and expect to eat fruits tomorrow, and that is exactly the mindset most of these impatient buyers have…

The truth is, Bitcoin hardly rewarded short term investors or traders, it has always rewarded long term conviction way more.. People who rush in without a little understanding or don’t bother to understand after investment, are usually the same ones that end up selling at a loss and then blaming the Bitcoin... Instead of getting frustrated, they should have educated themselves first, because once you truly understand Bitcoin, you stop worrying about quick flips and all…

Here is my review

I gave Utopia 4 stars because there system works really good, I love the part where they value their users privacy and made it an anonymous platform. One of their greatest flex is the Chartgpt that can answer your questions real quick and accurately, I've tried some couple of questions and I must say that I'm satisfied with the result, but I anticipate for more upgrades like colourful design to make the interface a more user friendly.

What must have prompted them to compel their citizens not to use crypto is because they are afraid that, crypto might one day take over their currency, even as I flatiron keep striking. Traditional fiat currencies are likely to experience inflation but aside scam crypto coins, the rest are can much more profitable when you study the market carefully before making any drastic decision that could lead to financial breakdown.

It is the hope of every Bitcoin investors that Bitcoin increases and gets better. I believe the government who are still fighting against Bitcoin will one day come to realisation that Bitcoin is a good currency and not a scam. Many critics are now Bitcoin investors, but the question is, what must have triggered them to change minds? The same reason might been seen by those government and they'll change too.

Aside focusing on one direction you need to also note that, Bitcoin can be in sideways or dump movement within some few hours, so it can cause loss to its trader after receiving Bitcoin as a tender for payment.
