BTCUSDT
Bitcoin / Tether USD
crypto Composite

I am genuinely convinced that Bitcoin is a form of money. To realize profits, I would need to be prepared to convert it into another form of money, such as the fiat currency, the US dollar. I must admit that I live everyday in dollars, but I do not possess any substantial long-term wealth in dollars. Instead, I engage in transactions in dollars and save in Bitcoin, gold, and a minimal amount of equities. In your case, you perceive Bitcoin as a speculative investment, which is perfectly acceptable. However, this means that you should determine when to realize your profits or when the risk-reward scenario ceases to align with your tolerance.
So to answer your question directly…. I never take profits be side I am unwilling to exchange my BTC.

It goes live 8th but bear in mind for retail investors could be a few days or week after till they are available as FCA needs to reviee them.
Im looking to take some on, maybe 5% of my portfolio. Im not interested in having BTC myself.

The 21M bitcoin limit was not so much chosen as it was the result of other design choices.
Satoshi wanted the halving to be roughly every 4 years. For blocks to be solved every ten minutes. That means 210,0000 blocks per halving was an easy rounding to work with.
210,000 blocks per halving. Starting at 50 BTC reward per block and decreasing block rewards in a geometric series gives 21M when the last halving hits.

No point in wondering “what if”. We’re we wrong? Look at the history of BTC.
Will it crash? It could. But the job market could crash…the car you drive in could crash. That’s a given risk with just about anything.
Re: your investment, as you know: never put all your eggs in one basket. Investing is still a gamble. However this particular basket can produce a shot tonne of eggs lol so it may still work out for you yet.
You’d lose money on fees if you drew down now, so unless you’re sure you want out, no point in deliberating. The more practical thing is probably to just hold. Price will always fluctuate but obviously If it dips way below what you invested then sell before you bleed out.
If it goes up then just keep saving from your job (or get a job asap) and make a financial plan moving forward. Think seriously about what you’ll do with the money…buy assets? reinvest? Retire? That should help you know what to hold for or draw down I think.

Retrospectively I've lost more than 4 BTC to exchanges like cryptsy and btc-e in the early days. Not a big deal back then but at this day's valuation I'd be happy to have moved them out.
People who say that <10k is okay in excanges forget that the value of those lost coins can be 200k in ten years.

It's going to be difficult to see the BTC value roller coaster up and down. Given enough time, it will change your life AGAIN for the better.

I mean even if you stuck with SOL and bought on the way down to $20. You’d still would have 10x already.
I mean yea buy BTC but more importantly buy something you believe in.

Just be patient and hold it. Panic selling will just lose yiu money. BTC will always rise abd Dallas, then rise again, it's just the way it works. Sit tight, throw it in a cold wallet and forget about it in a safe of safety deposit box for like 5-10 years, or more. BTC these days is about saving for retirement, not buying a mansion within the year.

> Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the normalized annualized value of all predictable, recurring revenue from subscription-based customers over a 12-month period.
100m ARR would be much better than just 100m in revenue so that's even better.

Since 2017, it has deployed supercomputing environments across Canada and the Nordics. Its Tier 3+ data centres powered entirely by renewable energy and engineered with ultra-low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) host thousands of industrial-grade GPUs across North America and Europe used for AI model training, fine-tuning and inference. Through its Green GPU initiative, BUZZ HPC combines AI innovation with sustainability, offering localized expertise and global infrastructure.
HIVE owns BUZZ HPC.
they own a data center for HPC in canada and they are upgrading it to tier 3 and adding blackwell gpus.
and they will run HPC in Bell AI Fabric data centers.
and most of HIVE data centers are powered fully/partially by renewables.

even if they mine 10 BTC a day instead of 12 for 2026 and the price of BTC goes down to 100k. That is 365m in BTC.
so if they reach 100m ARR in HPC and you add 365m in BTC for 2026 that is 465m in revenue with a market cap of 1b.

That's a more-or-less high-risk move, so while there's a good chance BTC will go up, there is nothing close to a guarantee, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. No one can predict what will happen in the market, exactly.
I wouldn't worry too much about the ETF collapsing and being unable to pay out, as this ETF has the assets segregated and placed in trusted hands.
Hold that etf and don't sell it yet. Be careful with investment advice. Always research what is offered to you. With the rest of the money, you should diversify it in other different-asset ETFs, if you haven't done so already.

Short BTC

You made a wise decision my friend.
Spend the next few weeks researching everything about "self custody". Remember you are your own bank and no one is going to help you if your BTC is stolen.
Arm yourself with knowledge.
GLHF!!

Hi Guys, i wanna trade BTCUSDT with ByBit but i am not quite sure what to do so what are the differences between Spot and Futures trading when i was paper trading i could profit when the price goes up and down, for spot trading you can profit only when the price goes up what is the closest to the paper trading is it trading Futures or something else.. dumb question but what am i doing wrong

This is the time to sale your BTC and buy in 2 years time.

True, chasing altcoins can be risky. It's all about your risk tolerance and investment strategy. Diversifying can help, but if you're looking for stability, BTC might still be your best bet. Just make sure you do your research!

Michael Saylor is no different from Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and the others like them. All they care about is being the wealthiest of the wealthy AND importantly, being right.
He's making his bet on BTC and he's making it for two reasons:
1. To be the most wealthy
2. To be right
They all have the same complex and are quadrupled down on being right. The money is an afterthought of the success that follows them being right about something everyone doubted.

Bitcoin is replacing the dollar. This is not an overnight process. Some people may think they’re going to “get rich” but there are lots of us who’s lived would not be changed by $300k BTC and wouldn’t sell. It’s just a savings account for me. If BTC hits $2M then that’s a diff story, by the time that happens I will likely be in a place financially where I still wouldn’t sell but I’d likely borrow against it if I needed capital to purchase more assets.

Just buy BTC and ETH.
Check it 2x a year.
