It’s frustrating that our price is not recovering in comparison to BTC and ETH. Their low was about a month ago and are up 19% and 5% respectively while ALGO just hit a new low last night.

1. To answer your question about frequent changes in BTC price calculations: 1 BTC costs a relatively large amount and fluctuates every second; therefore, paying for goods and services in BTC is inconvenient.
2. Could you elaborate on which features you are talking about?

It takes like sub 20 seconds to do a swap on a CEX or a DEX so I don't know if one really has a speed advantage worth mentioning over the other. If anything, I can send 10k USDC to a wallet, swap it on a DEX and be done in less than a minute. I send 10k USDC to Coinbase, they don't accept is as a valid thing until a few minutes pass. When you say "faster", what actions are faster?
CEXs definitely aren't cheaper. Once you can wrap your head around a wallet, the joy of getting ripped off on a CEX generally fades. That's why DEX vs CEX volume has been growing for years in a row now.

At the same time $10k USDC got me 0.157X cbBTC (Coinbase's own BTC, so a third party should definitely be selling it at a worse price than Coinbase official right?) at the worst dex, Coinbase was offering me 0.153X for their cbBTC for $10k. On jup.ag, $10k gets me 136.5 SOL. On Coinbase, $10k gets me 132.8 SOL. People who have never used a DEX in their life (or have and are just lying to you about the prices offered) are just making up stuff about how much they cost to use. CEXs quote you on a spread (when you sell, they pretend the price is much lower and when you buy, they pretend the price is much higher) **and** charge fees on top of the spread.

Lower oil prices helped set up the cooler-than-expected June CPI report earlier this month. Now we see if June PCE confirms the trend. July 29 the Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady. July 30 brings Core PCE, PCE, GDP, income/spending, and jobless claims. We also have 3 straight weeks of positive Bitcoin ETF inflows after months of outflows. If the Fed doesn't surprise and PCE stays cool, my guess is BTC reaches $67k-$69k and MSTR $104-$112 by July 31.

Because you're a gullible fool who believes that despite it not being true?
Here's the rundown, organized chronologically — and a couple of corrections to your framing worth flagging as I go.
**Macro/crash calls that didn't pan out (or took years longer than predicted):**
* **2015** — Warned of an impending market crash; the S&P kept climbing for years afterward.
* **May 2017** — Predicted a global financial meltdown that would lead to **World War III** (not WWII — worth the correction since it changes the flavor of how wild the call was). Said "it's not a question of if, but when." Markets rallied strongly for years after.
* **September 2019** — Argued index funds/ETFs were the "next bubble," comparing passive fund inflows to the subprime CDO bubble that caused 2008. This is likely the "ETFs collapsing" call you're thinking of. Equities kept climbing; no ETF-driven collapse materialized.
* **February 2021** — Said the market was "dancing on a knife's edge." Stocks kept rising for roughly two more years after that.
* **June 2021** — Called Bitcoin a speculative bubble carrying more risk than opportunity, right before BTC ran to a record high near $64K in the following weeks.
* **September 2022** — Predicted more bank failures and said the market's bottom was still far off. Markets rallied strongly the following year instead.
* **January 2023** — Posted a blunt one-word "Sell" call on the market, then walked it back in March 2023: "I was wrong to say sell."
* **August 2023** — Disclosed a large bearish bet (over 90% of portfolio notional, \~$1.6B in S&P 500/Nasdaq 100 puts) — closed it out within one quarter at a profit rather than riding a crash thesis, so this one's more "traded around a catalyst" than "wrong," but it also wasn't the crash call implied at the time.
* Shorted NVDA in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026
* Shorted TSLA in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026
* Shorted PLTR in 2024, 2025 and 2026

He's been WRONG on 71% of calls he's made.
He RAN a PRIVATE equity firm that didn't disclose their returns and had multiple people investing, but you COULD look up what he's actually saying.

EVEN if he were to be right on AI, he's right for the wrong reason and it's comical how clueless he is. He said NVDAs GPU depreciate in 2-3 years. Yet TO THIS DAY Amprere, the FIRST GPU NVDA released in 2020... is STILL sold out and it's selling for about 50% MORE than it cost in 2020.
The one BIG thing he's gotten right after the housing crisis was GME. He jumped on a MEME stock and made money on that.
You should have a clue who the fuck you're listening to.

In fact, TWO LAST THINGS;
1-IT''s ESTIMATED his returns have been on average between 11-13% from HIS trades.
That's NOT a huge sum of money. My annualized returns since 2019 are 40%.
Now in fairness... I both got lucky AND I had a REAL Money Manager, one who had more assets under Management than Burry to lean on AND I bought NVDA for 3000 shares in 2019 and for another 5000 shares in 2022(along with 5000 of AMZN, TSM, GOOGL,MEFT, MSFT, BRK.b and AVGO(\*actually only 1,000 shares).

I also sold BRK.b in April of last year and bought 11,000 shares of AMD at \~80 a share and bought another 5750 of AVGO.... and if you want to know what I'm doing next, it's buying leaps on SKHY at 180 and buying about 15,000s hares of SkHY(I missed MU).
2-Well.... it's jsut the fact that if an idiot like me can beat him by that much(and again, that's the RUMORED number) why are we listening to him?

Because he's chasing the Housing Market High.
Oh, sorry, THIS was #2. Burry's OWN WORDS as SCION suffered massive losses and he had to close it;

>***"My estimation of value in securities is not now, and has not been for some time, in sync with the markets."***

But yeah, you watched a movie with Christian Bale!

if you are DCA'ing the bottom felt like a blessing, BTC balance meaningfully growing and even tho people were trying to instil fear doubt and disbeliefs looking back at previous bottoms it was pretty good to keep buying

Ich habe gerade erst 0.4 BTC gekauft. Wird also erstmal abstürzen

Pretty much. They've diversified away from pure BTC price risk, but that doesn't mean the risk disappeared-it just changed. If AI spending stays strong, it's a great move. If hyperscalers start delaying projects or cutting capex, those long-term assumptions could get tested very quickly

I often see people asking what GoMining actually is, how the Bonus Miner works, and whether you can really test the platform without immediately investing a large amount of money.
So I went through the full onboarding process with a fresh account and documented every step.
## What is GoMining?
GoMining offers **digital Bitcoin miners connected to real mining infrastructure**.
Instead of buying an ASIC, setting it up at home, paying your own electricity bill and dealing with noise, heat and maintenance, you manage digital mining power through the app.
Each miner has:
- A hashrate measured in **TH**
- An energy efficiency measured in **W/TH**
- Daily Bitcoin mining rewards
- Electricity and service costs
That also means this is **not free Bitcoin or guaranteed profit**.
Results depend on factors such as:
- Bitcoin’s price
- Mining difficulty
- Miner efficiency
- Ongoing maintenance costs
## What can you do for free?
The Bonus Miner onboarding starts with several free tasks, including:
- Joining GoMining’s social channels
- Completing Bitcoin and mining quizzes
- Increasing the Bonus Miner’s hashrate
- Learning how the basic app functions work
These steps let you explore the platform before deciding whether you want to spend anything.
## When does real money become necessary?
The first paid stage begins when you create your own miner.
The onboarding then introduces features such as:
- Paying maintenance with GOMINING
- Reinvesting rewards
- Increasing mining power
- Using the daily service discount
- Gradually building a larger mining position
My guide separates the process into clear stages, so you can see exactly which tasks are free, which require a small payment and which are completely optional long-term goals.
**You do not need to complete everything.**
Everyone should decide for themselves how much money they are comfortable investing and where they want to stop.
My personal approach would be to start small, understand how rewards and maintenance behave, and gradually work toward roughly **16 TH** if the platform suits you.
After that, I would watch the results for at least **two or three months** before investing significantly more.
Bitcoin mining economics change. What looks attractive today may look very different after changes in BTC price or network difficulty.
## Full step-by-step guide
I listed the tasks in the order I would complete them, including the approximate costs, TH bonuses and useful stopping points:

**Disclosure:** The linked guide contains my GoMining referral code. Using it is completely optional, and I may receive referral benefits if someone registers and purchases through it.
I use GoMining myself, but this post is not a promise of profit. Do your own research and only invest money you can afford to expose to Bitcoin-mining and platform risk.

Been trading CRV since before the 2023 drama. After watching the price get hammered during the founder's borrowing position liquidation cascade, one thing became clear: exchange choice for CRV matters more than for most tokens because you need to be able to move quickly when the protocol has unexpected events.
HTX lists CRV/USDT as an active spot trading pair. Standard taker fee is 0.20%, with an additional 25% off for users paying with the HTX token since April 1, 2026 — effective rate closer to 0.15%. Current fee schedule at htx.com/en-us/fee. Binance and OKX also carry CRV with solid liquidity. The fee difference between exchanges on CRV isn't dramatic, but the spread on a mid-cap DeFi token varies more than on BTC — use limit orders when you're not in a rush.
One thing I check before putting meaningful size anywhere: does the exchange publish verifiable proof-of-reserves? After 2022-2023, "trust us" isn't enough. HTX publishes monthly PoR with Merkle Tree individual verification at htx.com/en-in/proof-of-reserve. For CRV specifically, also worth confirming the exchange has CRV withdrawal to an Ethereum wallet open — you'll want that option if you ever decide to lock CRV as veCRV on Curve directly.
Test withdrawal before committing size. Always.

I founded [Casa](https://casa.io/) in 2018; we are a multisig coordinator / security consulting service that specializes in helping high net worth Bitcoiners set up robust self custody that eliminates single points of failure. We help protect billions of dollars worth of BTC; I'd say we have a "long lasting history of good security and customer care."

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?
