Well, even if it did beat QQQ, QQQ has the benefit of owning underlying companies that can continue performing, creating things and generating revenue. Yes, most people "trade" QQQ but you're actually buy an index of companies when you purchase it. BTC is entirely speculative.

if I knew it earlier I better sold my house for BTC.

BTC back to monthly ATL, still not down a lot?

The buyer gets brought up every year but Id love to know about the pizza shop, they accepted Bitcoin and must have believed in it so, did they sell the BTC to buy more ingredients or stack a whole lot more and still HODLers?

crypto in the current form will be dead within a decade (or value 0) with the AI advances. Something new will come, but btc and crytpo have been an utter fail. 17 years after btc conception the best one can say is "Iran reportedly funneled billions through Binance to fund its military". BTC failed jsut about in every regard that satoshi envisioned. The moment quantum cracks OLD wallets the BTC and with it crypto goes down. it is so bad that even BTC core dev suggested to bascialy freeze your (satoshis) funds.
I am hoping new generation will get soemthing new, something that can be what satoshi envisioned, not a pump and dump scheme.

Well thanks for taking the time to look at my very much not a bot account. Quite the argument you made there. If all of crypto disappeared irreversibly tomorrow, no one would notice or care, except for Saylor and all those like OP and fanbois don't understand why no-one cares about their made up money. And I say this as a BTC holder. Yes. Really.

No. I mean BTC is never rising above 75k. This was (will be) the last time.

I see people complain about BitMart withdrawals but honestly I’ve never had trouble. been doing withdrawals for over a year with coins like ETH and BTC and everything clears quickly.

I rly don't see the problem... What ever you bought in the last years, you could have bought BTC with it instead and be rich. Same thing.

>What if the pizza bitcoins ended up on the hard drive that ended up in The Landfill
Jeremy Sturdivant ordered Laszlo 2 large pizzas from Papa Johns and Laszlo sent Jeremy 10,000 BTC in return. He later sold the 10,000 BTC with some profit.
Jeremy said, "I had no idea how huge it would become". But despite losing out on boundless riches, he said he is "proud to have played a part in the global phenomenon."

Just buy a little bit every day and you can’t lose. Unless you’re buying something that isn’t BTC, then you can only lose.

I can pick arbitrary timeframes too. Look at the last 15 year chart of Silver/Gold vs BTC. Gold is up 3x since 2011 and Silver is up 2.1x. BTC is up 2,000x+.
Why does your 1 year time horizon mean more than my 15 year time horizon? Please explain.

Because.... this is the bear market.
BTC bottoms Q4 of this year like it always does on the 4 year cycle. It just doesnt go down in a straight line. It makes all these lower highs over the year, but this was never going to be an up year.
Its done this exact thing so many times before. It peaks the same year end, it bottoms the same year end on this cycle, just zoom out on your charts back to the genesis of BTC and look at the tops and bottoms and the years they correspond to. Thats all you need to understand this.

You have to go up and down meticulously and release it at the right time..is what I tell myself before I win .50 in BTC 😂😂

The American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (ARMA) is co-led by Nick Begich (R-AK) and Jared Golden (D-ME). That Democrat co-lead is the part worth paying close attention to.
Quick breakdown of what it actually does:
\- Consolidates all existing federal Bitcoin holdings into a dedicated Treasury reserve
\- Sets a 20-year minimum holding period
\- Creates a budget-neutral acquisition pathway for up to 1 million BTC over 5 years
\- Classifies Bitcoin as a Tier 1 strategic asset, same tier as gold
\- Permanently ends the sale of seized Bitcoin by the government
\- Requires quarterly audits and enhanced custody standards
The executive order Trump signed earlier was always the fragile version of this. Executive orders can be undone by the next president on day one. A law requires Congress to actively vote against it -- that is a meaningfully different level ...

They waive the commissions when you BTC options at/under $0.05.

On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first real-world commercial transaction using Bitcoin. He bought two Papa John's pizzas using 10,000 BTC, which were worth about $41 at the time. Today, those exact Bitcoins are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Historic Trade
The Forum Post: On May 18, 2010, Hanyecz posted on the popular Bitcointalk forum offering 10,000 BTC to anyone who could have two large pizzas delivered to his home.
The Order: Fellow user Jeremy Sturdivant ("jercos") accepted the offer. He ordered the two Papa John's pies, which cost him about $25, and had them delivered to Hanyecz.
The Value: Because Bitcoin was in its infancy, the exchange rate was effectively a fraction of a cent per coin.

Which fucking cycle? As if it is predicted that it goes up. Look at the fucking charts. Only BTC and ETH went up and down. All the others including DOGE and XRP had one hopium pump from Trump's election and from the rest it is flat with a sharp decline in the beginning. 
Tell us you are a grifter without telling us that you are a grifter. 
Keep hoping with your clarity act, but remember the rest of the world already has a clarity act. 

Babylon-style native BTC collateral is definitely closer to the test than a wrapped BTC money market, at least on the custody side. The part I’d still separate is “no custodian” from “low risk.”
You still have protocol assumptions, spending-condition edge cases, market rules if borrowing is involved, and the boring question of what happens when exits are congested or incentives change. So I’d treat it as a better starting point, not an automatic pass.
If the docs can explain the exact spend conditions, who can trigger what, what failure costs the BTC holder, and how liquidation works in plain English, then it is worth a closer look. If those parts are fuzzy, I would keep the first test very small.

When a narrative blows off top and the tools flag a trend reversal, I manually handle the execution. For example, Paybis sell BTC, u can quickly cash out straight to a debit card and lock in your fiat gains without dealing with complex trading desks
