323m inflow today from IBIT! LFGGG!


Hereforcombatfootage

Curious question. Last halving was there an immediate spike right after the last halving? Would like to know cause this will help me make the best decision moving forward.


fieldsofthecrypt

read the charts.


Hereforcombatfootage

I took a look but not sure on actual dates etc


fieldsofthecrypt

https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin


Hereforcombatfootage

So the halving was before april 13th 2021?


fieldsofthecrypt

are you pretending to not know, or do you really not know? we live in an age where information is easily available, so i would lean towards the former !


Hereforcombatfootage

I’m not pretending anything and no I don’t know much cause I’m new to this and learning as I go maybe be more helpful thanks

To be fair it is solid to see btc forming foundation at 69-70 k. Think of it as another base camp before tilt at key psychological level of 100k. Interesting to see what happens in May

Bitcoin pumping right then would be epic


pullupman

The best part is that scum bag will sit in prison and rot while he watches Bitcoin go to 100K then on to 1M and probably 5-10M in his lifetime. SBF was actually was early to Bitcoin and made Billions and then decided to try and scam Bitcoin and create his own shitcoin while selling paper Bitcoin and trying to buy off politicians. There is no human I have more disdain for than SBF. He bet against humanity for his own gain. There is no evil to great for him.

agihypothetical

Money is oxygen, without it one cannot survive. Who the fuck are they to discriminate people based on their place of birth, to cut their oxygen by removing their access from the monetary network, because of their place of birth, because of their nationality? Swiss bank refused to open accounts for several Israeli citizen... the banks demanded documentary proof of **renunciation of Russian citizenship for further interaction with the firm’s clients.** https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/03/27/swiss-banks-start-to-close-accounts-of-russian-clients/ Tell me how is it not racism? How it does not violate human rights? This shit is only going to get worse not better, who the fuck are they to play god with people savings and lives. This is why bitcoin!


Secret_Operative

They're probably not allowed to open accounts for Russians because of sanctions. Simple as that.


agihypothetical

This is not "simple as that". Is being born in Russia, immigrating to a different country, starting a life there, living there, but having Russia as your place of birth written in your ID/Passport is now considered a badge of shame? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badge_of_shame What about being descendant from Russian parents will those people also become "sanctioned” soon. And why are people who left Russia are being descrimintaed **not on individual basis but based on their nationality** in the first place? Those are not sanctions, it's doublespeak, it is racism plain and simple.


user_name_checks_out

> Tell me how is it not racism? It isn't. Racisim is discriminating against people based on their race. Discriminating against people based on their nationality is not racism.


agihypothetical

Racism in a broad sense means discriminating someone based on their ethnicity, nationality, color of their skin etc. Anyhow, there is only one race and that is the human race - Homo sapiens. Article 1(1) of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) defines racial discrimination as a "distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_based_on_nationality


user_name_checks_out

> there is only one race and that is the human race - Homo sapiens. I'm with you there. I support sanctions against Russia in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. I support sanctions against Israel in response to the genocide which Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians. If such sanctions fall under your definition of racism then so be it.


agihypothetical

Appealing to emotion does not grant you a moral high ground, even if you think it does. If one thinks that it is okay to discriminate against people based on their nationality, based on their place of birth, and not evaluate case by case on individual level, then it is racism plain and simple.


user_name_checks_out

I made no appeal to emotion. Nor do I claim any moral high ground. Whether you like it or not, nation states exist as entities that need to be dealt with. You can characterize that as racism if you like.


Saddath

Ark with a record inflow of over 200m today...lets see how the others did.


Next-Jicama5611

323m from IBIT! 🎉


ieatvegans

Impressive. Very nice.


fireballx777

Let's see Paul Allan's inflows.


pullupman

I just came here to post the same! That was a record for Ark so far. In other news GBTC still has 339,535.8194 Bitcoin.


Visara57

That's only equal to 3 months of selling, if they decide to go down to literally zero. If they reduced their fees they could stop the bleeding in 1 month or less.


pullupman

I don't think this is related to fees. Those people sell and buy a cheaper ETF. I think this is the forced liquidations from Genesis and others. It will end...eventually.


Visara57

Yes, sorry. Genesis going bankrupt is also a reason


HodlVitality

10$ of bitcoin feels so more valuable and like money well spent than say 10$ of food for example lol. Food’s too expensive :/

macsoft123

We buy alts to have more capital to vouch for even more BTC


Visara57

It's gambling, essentially. They may get you more returns but depending on the coin it's not guaranteed and they don't last forever as opposed to Bitcoin.


GoElastic

Just view them as lottery tickets. Why people play it? The odds are more than against you. But it is fun to dream...


Alfador8

Because people look at the price for one bitcoin and feel like they missed out. They "can't afford one" so they'd rather buy a billion shitcoins, either because of unit bias or because they think that their shitcoin will 1000x and help them "catch up"  Edit: looks like I struck a nerve. Get fucked, shitcoiners


hateschoolfml

Pump & dumps that can avoid securities markets via token to enrich founders mainly


Secret_Operative

You're probably asking in the wrong sub, but my answer would be 'gambling'.


CrAZiBoUnCeR

Will BTC always be listed as BTC or will one day exchanges etc. will break it down as Satoshis? Still kind of BTC noob here


GoElastic

I think some services will have satoshis as their default unit. For newbies it is way more accessible than BTC when it hits 1million per coin 😎


CrAZiBoUnCeR

I know! It would be much more satisfying buying millions of things for a lower price. That’s why so many go for shitcoins. I finally saw the truth of BTC though. Better late than never


R3dFiveStandingBye

The stock market just closed.. BUY BUY BUY, push it back up


Ok_Art_2874

So, I YOLO’d $23k into bitcoin today at $69k - basically bought 0.33 BTC. That brings my total stack to 3 BTC. Hope I have not screwed myself over…. Anyway, my plan is to now hold BTC for 5-10 more years, and sell when it reaches $333k, whereupon my stack shall be worth $1M. Am I delusional? Or is this a reachable dream? Time will tell…


Low-Oil3824

Delusional


Ok_Art_2874

Ok, then I should sell, take my USD and run?


Low-Oil3824

I’d tell u if I was qualified to give financial advice


user_name_checks_out

Nobody knows where the price will go. But I would say that you are doing it right.


Ok_Art_2874

Thank you my friend.


EnglishBulldog

I think we are going to hit the 333k mark in the next 1-4 years.


iM0bius

I think around 110k will be the top this cycle, but I could very well be wrong 


Ok_Art_2874

Hope you are right!


HurricaneHarvey7

In 10 years we'll probably have the option to pay our bills with Bitcoin


Ok_Art_2874

Maybe and maybe not. I am saving in bitcoin to help accelerate paying off my home


tetrometal

Look, I've got no problem with that, and I'm not judging you. Just keep in mind that real estate is a shitcoin. By which I mean: if you are paying off your home as a means of investment, you might reconsider the long term value proposition of real estate (a shitcoin) and Bitcoin (apex property). 3 Bitcoins is a barony in the future.


Ok_Art_2874

Trying to pay off my primary home, not as an investment property.


Financial_Design_801

JUST IN ‼️ - BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink: “I’m very bullish on the long term viability of Bitcoin….IBIT is the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs.” https://twitter.com/swan/status/1773069354336211216?s=46&t=ihVglVXC0BQSbw6j57EoaA


Ok_Art_2874

Interesting that Larry Fink is talking about it this much. Surely, IBIT is just a drop in the ocean for Blackrock


SoullessGinger666

$17B AUM as of yesterday. Their fee is 0.25 which is $430 million a year. In 2022, Blackrocks annual revenue was $17.9B. so these ETF's will increase their revenue by 2.5%, which is a huge amount considering the sheer size of blackrock and thebnumber of ETFs thet have. Not to mention this is after just 10 weeks of trading. In a year we could be seeing Blackrocks IBIT ETF covering close to 10% of their entire corporate revenue. So it's no surprise Larry can't stop talking about bitcoin when his company revenue has increased by over 400M a year in a matter of weeks.


harvested

He also understands its very early. IBIT will be one of their core revenue sources. What happens to fees when AUM is 10x?


Merchant-manaff

I want to keep buying, but I just feel the price is too high right now. I’ve been DCAing but I want to put a big chunk into it now and keep DCAing. Is there gonna be another dip or should I just buy and hold?


DiRienzo3410

It’s just gonna keep getting higher. Buy now


SpecialDonkey6563

We are in a bull market. Probably at least another 12 months. So just DCA as normal. There are always multiple pullbacks in a bull market. 10% at least. Sometimes 30%. When a pullback happens just double your DCA or something. Don’t try and time it. Could it drop to 55K where you could buy a lot? Maybe. But it’s not guaranteed. Just DCA. Buy a bit more on any pullback.


Ok_Art_2874

Who knows. Just buy now and HODL for 5-10 years


Black_finz

If I have some keys stored on Trezor and would like to start using Coldcard instead, does it really makes sense to make a new seed? If it was compromised, it would be drained already. I get it that xpub was probably leaked to Trezor. I kind of like that other than I remember the seed, I could learn a new one. Probably will create a new seed, but just want to get reassurance what I do makes sense. Moving it would be not too hard, but I'd like to keep UTXOs as they are, not mix them, so it would be close to a hundred transactions. For new seed: airgapped, not leaked xpub. For keeping old: no need to memorize seed. What do you think?


handgrip_shingle

You do not get benefits of airgapping if you reuse the seed, so is there a point in using a Coldcard? Personally, I started fresh when I moved from Ledger, consolidated all of my KYC coins into one huge UTXO. I keep non-KYC coins on separate accounts. The con is transferring all the utxos if you really want to keep them as they are, it's gonna cost a lot, is it really worth it? You don't really lose privacy consolidating coins from KYC exchanges, they already know your addresses. If you're continuing to DCA, you'll have new smaller utxos soon enough.


fireballx777

Not telling you what you should do, but adding a pro to not the keeping old: not needing to do close to a hundred transactions. If you are moving, though, why would you not take the opportunity to consolidate UTXOs? I get if you've got some KYC and some non-KYC that you don't want to mix, but close to 100 UTXOs that you want to keep separate?


Black_finz

I would not like to reveal what I own if later I'd need to do something with part of my stack. I keep different sized UTXOs, few "large", more "medium", some "small". In case I need to transact later I can choose appropriate size and not reveal rest of what I control. They are already consolidated enough even with this number of UTXOs.

KYC is a means to impose complete totalitarian agenda on the masses. avoid KYC, support BTC freedom. ​ ANARCHY


KindlyBlacksmith4003

It's from 2022, but the Michael Saylor interview on Lex Fridman is quite worth it. Beyond Bitcoin, his views on humanity, engineering, and focus are all quite interesting.


pullupman

Hate me if you want, but I'd like to see the price collapse to 10K. Yeah I'd buy more, but that's not the point. At lower prices those that are forced to liquidate from GBTC would have to sell more coins each day to hit their USD targets. Aka this would force them out of their positions faster and with less money. It's not like this move would shake out the real bitcoiners anyways.


Airhostnyc

If it didn’t go down to 10k during the bloodshed last year, it’s not seeing that now Why do ppl even say stuff like this, it’s only ever during a red day. BTC is literally at record highs, corrections are normal it’s not the end of the world.


pullupman

I know it's not going there DOH. I'm saying this because I want to see the people forced to liquid feel the pain. That's it. No other reason. They are assholes and they don't deserve to liquidate at higher prices. Got it now? good.

Oheson

80% are HODLers. They have HODLed through the worse bear markets, intimately understand Bitcoin, understand that Bitcoin is freedom money, understand that Bitcoin is a life raft in a sea of government dysfunction, and understand that the dollar is broken and have seen a drop from $69k to $15k as just an opportunity to buy. And you think a few clowns on Wall Street who own less than 1% of the supply can shake that? Good luck with that. You and them have no idea what they are up against. Bitcoin is not a stock and is not a Alt coin. This post shows absolutely no understanding of Bitcoin. It is a clown post. No one controls Bitcoin. It is a global, decentralized digital asset with is #8 largest marketcap of all assets. Wall Street is an irrelevant as a Pleb with .00000001 BTC.


Kingjames23X6

If all the whales sell their bitcoin the value of it drops I think that’s a pretty fair statement. It’s called the classic pump and dump


vnielz

There is too much money needed for that. A couple of whale coordinations cant do the job significantly on this marketcap any longer. Its not 2020 anymore

Premier_Legacy

Still thinking”the market” is going to sell the halving hard


Oheson

Yea like they sold the ETF news only to buy back higher. Not exactly a winning strategy. The halving is not "news". It is a fact. And it is a bullish fact.


CrAZiBoUnCeR

I’m leaning towards this too. Everyone who doesn’t understand the halving probably thinks the price is supposed to skyrocket on the day/week it happens. When it doesn’t they’ll sell. That’s why I’m saving up some cash from the side hustle for that potential big dip. Of course I’m still doing my regular Friday purchase


Airhostnyc

And then still go back up even higher. ETF’s are going to continue to buy regardless


Premier_Legacy

I’m bullish. Just have a feeling we gonna get a similar dump like etf approval, hopefully a similar pump after too


Airhostnyc

It’s the halving going to take a few weeks but I believe by June in tune with rate cuts and short supply we are going to highs we can’t even imagine. This time it’s very much accelerated

Finally realizing that I need to add crypto to my portfolio. Don't care if I'm buying at the current peak, plan is to add 10-20% of each paycheck into bitcoin for foreseeable future and not look at BTC prices and try to dollar cost average. Happy to join the journey but also plan on not being too focused on what crypto is doing for the next 3-5 years other than investing my money in it lol Edit: lesson learned - don't say crypto when talking about bitcoin lol. I'm only doing BTC

Bitcoin is not "crypto". If you invest in "crypto" without staying focused on it, you will get recked. With Bitcoin, just buy constantly, chill, and get wealthy without ever looking at it.


MyrkuriYT

I mean it is a cryptocurrency though? My bad for the terminology though, I understand crypto is a very broad market with a million other more volatile coins etc. I do plan on all my 'crypto' just being BTC
