ALGO and BTC

Crypto was created for these niche cases. And yes, stablecoins work too... But stablecoins are a consequence of BTC. You can't separe one from the other.

All BTC. Stocks are heavily manipulated and disconnected from fundamentals.
If you want to gamble your retirement for 4% annual increase with possibly being wiped out at the wrong time, then stocks make sense.

Hey, take this bribe ❌
Hey, if you power these BTC miners to keep our financial crime going we’ll give you a share of our made up currency that has a higher historical return than even gold ✅

Yeah. You BTC maxis are all nitpicking hard too. "Alts are bad, just stick with BTC, bruh" XRP, SOL and many other alts blew BTC out of water if you bought mid term and sold heavily during euphoria.

One of my favourite BTC theories. Most vocal bears are Bitcoiners

2019 is amazing.
I was IT literate and around in 2009 when people were mining with CPU's 50 BTC blocks, and was very much "this looks interesting, I'll start mining tomorrow" and never did - I'd just had my first child and he seemed much more interesting :)
Eventually started buying in 2017 but made the classic mistake of selling most of it unnecessarily and of course, regreting it.

However a lot of people have these stories, and only clever people (or being already rich enough to not care) really had the foresight to buy and hold for long periods from the early days - I'm sure there would have been a price I'd have sold regardless and very much doubt I'd be much richer than I am now.

I consider this as my 2nd cycle properly hodling now I understand a tiny more, and In my uneducated opinion Ark3tech is 100% correct.
JGMURPY, hold over the years and it should feel better each cycle.

The longer your time horizon the more it will look like a relic of the past. There’s already a linear trend where the importance of “self custody” is diminished with each passing year, I expect this trend to upgrade to exponential in the coming decade where 10 years from now a very small minority will care about it.
Personally I am a tradfi investor who doesn’t care about the self custody angle at all (although I’m glad it exists as BTC would not have caught on without it). I expect there to be more me’s in the future than there are libertarian types who invest in BTC as they are fearful of the government

The BTC trade you did was actually well-executed — you bought a macro asset during a clear accumulation phase and exited with real profits. The second move had a different risk profile and you probably knew it at the time.
A few patterns worth internalizing for next time:
**The "binge-watched crypto YouTube" signal is a red flag, not a green one.** When content about an asset is everywhere and all of it is bullish, the easy money has usually already been made. The people making the videos are often paid to make them. This isn't unique to crypto.
**The 10x and wait problem.** You had a 10x on Raydium and didn't take any. A useful rule: when an altcoin hits a target that already feels unbelievable, sell half and let the rest run. That half covers your original investment several times over, and whatever happens next isn't a loss — it's a free trade.
**BTC vs. altcoins is a fundamentally different bet.** BTC had ETF inflows, clear institutional demand, and the halving catalyst. Altcoins are essentially calls on those narratives continuing and expanding. When they don't, the drawdowns are brutal because there's no floor buyer.
**Practically speaking:** The Raydium position — where is it now? If it's down 70–80% from peak but still has some value, the question isn't "do I sell" but "do I have high conviction it recovers, and am I holding for good reasons or just to avoid realizing the loss?" Those are different situations.
You made money once with a clear head. That skill doesn't disappear.

In this example, no, you’re fine. Dave owes $$$ to IRS.
The actual problem can arise if you perhaps buy some BTC from Iran or N Korea, or if the user you buy from gained the coins illegally through theft, hacking, etc. The UTXO can be flagged and CEXs like Coinbase could freeze it.
At the very least, send a small amount to CEXs first and see if they hem and haw. You may not get it back, so tread carefully.

Congratulations! 🎉 Hitting your first 0.1 BTC is a much bigger milestone than most people realize. Many people chase quick gains, but consistently buying through the highs and the lows is how long-term wealth is often built.
My only advice would be: don’t focus too much on the next price target focus on the next accumulation target. Whether it’s 0.2 BTC, 0.21 BTC (for the 21 million supply 😉), or eventually 0.5 BTC, just keep stacking at a pace you’re comfortable with.
Ten years from now, you’ll probably remember reaching 0.1 BTC as the moment your Bitcoin journey really began. Welcome to the club! 🍊₿

95 % BTC or BTC companies… ask me how XXI is doing but we hold strong

yes, buy BTC. These prices are an absolute steal.

95% BTC, 5% cash

It's quite natural to have that feeling in your gut when you make an investment and it goes down, but if you believe in something and it is what you think it is, then it these hard times are where the best gains are made.
While Warren Buffett doesn't understand crypto, he has famously repeated "We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful." and it applies to bitcoin regardless of his feelings towards it.

I would like to think that this will continue and in 2-10 years people will look at $65k and think "damn, that was cheap, wish I'd bought some."

(While I believe in BTC, it is still speculation as far as I'm concerned, don't be a degen and only put in what you can live with should a black swan event occur)

\^This is the way. 5-10% BTC is the sweet spot in 2026. Beyond that & starts introducing too much volatility into your overall portfolio.

Index ETFs are structurally a good idea — the problem is how the index is constructed.
**The good:** Diversification, passive exposure without managing keys, and lower cognitive overhead than picking individual assets. For institutional and retail investors who want crypto exposure without deep research, an index ETF makes sense.
**The concern with market-cap weighting:** BTC dominates at ~55% of crypto market cap, so a market-cap-weighted index is basically "mostly BTC with some ETH and a long tail of noise." You'd get near-identical exposure to just holding BTC + ETH directly but with more complexity and management fees.
**The "barriers to entry" question is interesting:** The T.Rowe list you shared includes SHIB and DOGE, which tells you inclusion criteria aren't purely about fundamentals — market cap and liquidity matter more to ETF structurers than tech or utility. That means well-funded meme coins can crowd out serious infrastructure projects. Not ideal.
**Concentration risk over time:** The assets that survive regulation, remain liquid, and have SEC-acceptable custody solutions will keep winning ETF inclusion. That list probably stabilizes around 5-8 assets long-term, not 15. New chains need to clear compliance, custody, and liquidity hurdles that take years.
**Verdict:** Good product category, execution matters enormously. An ETF tracking BTC/ETH/SOL with equal or risk-adjusted weighting would be more interesting than market-cap soup with SHIB in it.

No,
Although i was the Guy who said in 2023 when GOLD was trading at $1,983 (₹48,000/- INR) Targeting $3,700 -$4,000 (₹1,35,000 INR)
Do check out the Analysis, let me know what you think 💭

**Gold XAU$, 1M TF, 18/03/2023 and the Odyssey to $3600**

BTW, If this was the projection of GOLD it was very obvious the adopted Digital Gold BITCOIN will tag along. BTC was Trading at $20k in march 2023 and was going to hit 125K 🎯
i wasn't surprised, as i know what im visualizing
