Icy holders in the US gets 5% BTC back on first 5k spending then 2% after. INSANE deal.

WARNING: NC Wallet is holding my BTC for 100+ hours. No TxID generated even after paying priority fee (Ticket: NW-150331)

They shared their thesis but you ignored it.. they think the bottom is in, and they're safe unless BTC chops in half (again) down to $25-30K (must say, that does seem very unlikely). BTC has shown some *very* strong resistance around the $60K range for like 4 or 5 months so far? I'm not sure what their monthly payment/obligations are, but who are we to assume that OP has no other backup plan(s) like other investments, emergency fund, etc?

I break down a recent court filing (Document 79 by Nivie Kaul) in the case about the 2025 forfeiture of 225M USDT linked to pig butchering scams.
We get more detail now on the head-spinning timeline on how the US really got to get ahold of the 225M USDT back in 2023. It involves senators, institutional arm-twisting, state-to-state unrelations, undue process, victims as unpaid skilled labor, whistleblowers-to-be, and the $225M’s sprawling links to other massive cryptocurrency forfeitures by the US, including the Prince Group’s \~$15B in BTC.

I've got $100k-ish of margin and my portfolio is *very heavy* BTC and BTC related ETFs.. so I'm no stranger to the game.

I used Sats Terminal to borrow, If you hold native BTC you get like 3% Interest per year on borrow. No need for KYC.

The only thing that matters in that regard is to have more BTC that the day before.

high liquidity coins like BTC or ETH are best for scalping but low-cap altcoins will chop you up regardless of how good the setup looks

I totally understand that. Same for me but the other way. I've never been able to get any progress with indexes. And my BTC models always look good on testing and heldout but when I deploy them love they always fail!
I'm working on a high frequency execution model (100ms) for Bitcoin. Still getting orderbook data from Hyperliquid so that I can train the models.
How do you build your BTC models?

Well Ai can actually use BTC without trust (like physical gold).

yeah, it should be fine as long as Trust Wallet sends you to the real Paybis checkout.
just check how much BTC you’re actually getting before you pay. the card fee, exchange rate and network fee can make it more expensive than it first looks.
I’d test with a small amount first. and obviously, Paybis may ask for ID, but nobody should ever ask for your Trust Wallet recovery phrase.

Why does the BTC calculation change so quickly, even within a few seconds?

THORChain does native BTC swaps from USDC, no wrapping. Check if the liquidity depth fits your size though.

Getting Rich and Staying Rich are 2 different Things.
I'm all in btc right now, but I could see myself buying some boring SP500 when my networth reaches some funny big numbers.
My Idea is to switch to 70-80% BTC , 20-30% SP500 in the future, just to have SOME other stuff besides BTC.

That’s a bold assumption that BTC is at ATL right now. 👀

price predictions do not mean "bull market"
you got any prediction for BTC from 50k to 1 million. Your choice on what you want to tell yourself the entire market believed is your choice.

Partly true, I would argue the REASON we didn’t have a blow off top. People seem to forget BTC is a very liquid assets and responds to economic outlook more than most other assets. We had a very bad economic outlook the whole bull run, for me this was the reason the cycle was not incredible. We had no blow off top due to rates,FED, general economy etc.
This is also fluid so next cycle may be better economically which will mean a blow off top. People saying institutions don’t let it happen. I mean brotha look on the S&P chart, we are in a blow off top from a 37 year bull run… if people think gains like this is common in the market they haven’t done their history. If buffet had gains like this for most of his journey he would be a trillionaire

I’d say they should upgrade just for the unlimited BTC back on purchases! Thats a crazy benefit

that's true, but I think BTC is at all time lows and I took at 50% LTV, so its safe until BTC just crashes to 25k to 30k

Start with something simple: put **$200** on **Kraken** and watch it for 12 months.
A beginner‑friendly allocation might look like:
* **50% BTC**
* **20% ETH**
* **15% SOL**
* **10% XRP**
* **5% KAS**
All crypto lives on blockchains and requires **private keys** to move.
On an exchange, the platform holds the keys.
With **self‑custody**, you hold the keys yourself, usually stored as a **24‑word seed phrase**.
Anyone who gets your seed phrase can take your crypto, so beginners are often safer starting on a top‑tier exchange like Kraken or Kraken Pro.
Learn the basics early:
* Blockchain fees
* Exchange fees
* Spreads
* Stop loss orders
* Self custody wallets
* Seed phrases
* Passphrases
* Hardware wallets, Ledger and Trezor are well known hardware wallet brands.
Avoid **hot, web and extension wallets**.
Assume most people online want to scam you, hack you, or trick you into giving up your seed phrase.
**NEVER** enter a seed phrase online or record electronically as text or image.... **NEVER**!
Always use official websites, double check URLs, and be extremely careful with anything you download.
Good internet security software is strongly recommended.
Be ready for **50 percent or more price swings**.
And be aware that simply HODLing right now has a higher chance of losing money, although nobody knows what the market will look like in a year.
**DO NOT INVEST MORE THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!!!!**
