People shouldn't sell during black swan events.

As you may know people sell off their crypto coins when something bad or uncertain is happening with the world, instead of buying, which I don't understand. Bitcoin is more secure than your cash and bank. It isn't bound to a single government, it is owned by normal people like you and I who give it value. When something bad happens people should BUY not SELL because bitcoin is SECURE, can be transferred at anytime and is not tracked. Are you gonna use cash when your government is in a crisis? No, you use bitcoin because it isn't just paper which can be printed until infinity. Yesterday Iran launched some drones at Israel as a response to the bombardment of it's embassy in Syria. Think about it, it isn't even like WW3 is going to happen, and if it does are you going to use your paper money which inherently only has value because the government tells you so? Bitcoin should be pumping during uncertainty or crisis, not dumping. It's an uncontrolled, safe alternative for cash and a no weight alternative for gold which can't just be stolen from you like the cash and gold.

On markets open

Bitcoin is a no stop market so immediately after the Iran/Israel new war we saw a huge red dildo. Since USA says is not going to partecipates immediately we had a correction upward. But what do you think will happen when tomorrow markets open? Will they sell on news or they will hold? ETF s have a lot of power in this: ETF's investors will take advantage of these news and sell? Or buyers will buy the (little) dip?

DCA selling strategy

DCA selling strategy for Bitcoin

I first started buying bitcoin in 2021 when it was at $42k. I bought in FOMO spurts till $66k. Then it crashed. I HODLed and bought more on the way down at $46k and finally at $20k. HODLed thru 2023. Bought again at $46k and recently at $69k.

The result: I have 3 BTC at an average price of $50k each after 3 years of buying.

Next up: I want to formulate a selling strategy. I know that talk of selling is frowned upon in this community. But, my objective in getting into bitcoin was to use it to accelerate paying off my mortgage. That necessitates selling it and transferring the proceeds into my mortgage.

If I were to start DCA selling 0.3 Bitcoin every year starting in 2025 and going thru 2034, how much do you all think I can net? Would it be likely that I will net $500k over the course of 10 years?

Bitcoin vs Microstrategies

As the title suggests, what are you opinions on Microstrategies as a proxy investment to Bitcoin?

Long story short I have an investment grandfathered in through a TFSA ETF doing well with Bitcoin. This cycle id love to try and sell some and lock in profits, but the issue is if I do so I will not be able to buy back in through my tax free savings account to crypto. Only 10% of my portfolio can be crypto unless it’s grandfathered it from before. I’m currently at about 90%. Microstrategies is currently overlooked however…but I really don’t know if that’s a similar enough investment to take opportunity.

I have a couple options

  1. Hold my Bitcoin through all the ups and downs for long term and have it all tax free gains

  2. Sell portions to get profits hoping to buy back into Microstrategies at a lower price and build more up along the way

  3. Sell all for a really solid profit, hold that until the price comes back down in the next sip and buy real Bitcoin for cold storage, but then any gains I will be hit with capital gains tax going forward

Any advice?

Cryptominer and the next 10+X month

Hi all, i hope this is not too much offtopic but i am really asking myself why the crypto mining stocks are doing so badly. When you do a small research then the most frequently mentioned reason is the halving and and the resulting halving of the reward for miners. But there was no difference in the past halving situations except the new bitcoin etf's which could be the reason for a different cashflow. I think the cryptomining stocks could be much higher after the halving when the BTC-Price is high enough so that the mining is worthwhile. What do you think?

GBTC Outflows

We can clearly see that since market open today the price has started to decline. I suspect this to be mostly GBTC sells. Last I checked they custody about 330,000 BTC. That's HALF of what they had mid January when the ETFs opened. That's nearly 100,000 BTC being sold every month! I can't imagine their entire holdings get sold, in fact i'm surprised we're already at the 50% figure. If they continue to sell at this rate they will be done by June/July.

Let's see how the having treats this whole thing in the next 3 to 6 weeks..

Interesting stuff going on.

We thinking a dip directly after the halving?

Hey everybody, I'm a pretty low stakes investor and have only owned small pieces of meh crypto. I've never gone too deep into Bitcoin and have been doing a lot of research recently. I think it's time for me to finally buy a reasonable sum of bitcoin. I understand it's a volatile market, this is money that I want to drop and throw away the key (I plan on holding this for decades, cash I'm ok with not seeing for a while if ever again). Should I just make the full purchase now? Buy part now and part after the halving? From what I understand there is a chance it can dip after the news, but I'm also no expert. What is your personal opinions?

Various BTC ETF’s and their prices.

Do the inflows and outflows among BTC ETFs affect their prices at all, or are their share prices just representing a percentage of btc, regardless of how many people enter or exit the fund? I read that GBTC and ARKB have massive outflows, but is the share price affected by this in any way? Does the difference in BTC ETF’s just come down to the fees they charge, or is there something more?

Coinbase issues. Please help!

Hi. Please excuse if I cross post this but I wanted to reach out to the general community for advice. I am owed funds by Celsius and I would like to receive them in crypto, but Coinbase flagged my account and I cannot receive or withdraw from them until I send them various proof of funds documentation. This happened about 18 months ago and I have been in a protracted battle with them ever since. They sent me a list and I supplied ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING they requested, which was really hard as it went back years. I have a case file about a mile long, with me sending more docs and pleading with them for feedback as to what is missing. I opened a complaint file about a month ago. Last week I received a mail saying that I still have not provided the documents, with no explanation as to what is required - and with the additional kicker that they now consider the case closed. What should I do? I cannot seem to speak to a human being. It's all automated. Is it worth hiring a lawyer? Does anyone have experience in this area, or have any advice for me? If Coinbase will not process my claim, then I will be 'reimbursed' in the dollar amount of the settlement date in January, which is much lower than the crypto is worth today. It feels like I am being double scammed. Cheers, everyone.

MACD Binance

Can someone explain to me the grow/fall and long/short aspect of the histogram, particularly Binance? I understand short is when the macd line is below the signal line, and long is when it's above, but I haven't exactly been able to figure out why the histogram is hollow when diverging on long, but hollow when converging on short.
