Welcome to /r/btc!

When r/Bitcoin moderators began censoring content and banning users they disagreed with, r/btc became a community for free and open crypto discussion. This happened long before the creation of Bitcoin Cash.

Over the years /r/btc became community of historians & torchbearers, preservers of Satoshi's Bitcoin for future generations. In this place you can learn what "Bitcoin" means and what it truly represents.

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet. A distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without the need for any central authority whatsoever.

There is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank. Read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

We welcome free and open Bitcoin-related discussion, Bitcoin news, and exclusive AMA (Ask Me Anything) interviews from top Bitcoin and cryptocurrency leaders. This subreddit was created to uphold and honor free speech and the spirit of Bitcoin; learn more about us.


See a list of past AMAs here. If you are interested in having your own AMA, please message the mods and let us know.

Would you buy 1BTC ≈ 100k today?

At around 100k if you had the money would you buy in?

After 3 years of sideways BCH just made a new ATL against BTC.

This is not a good sign. I honestly believed that we have put in a bottom.

At the same time Monero just put in a bottom reaching back as far as 2015. Is the digital cash project now carried along by Monero?

Long term alt coin?

Planning on making a portfolio today and checking it in 20-30 years. Are there any alt coins worth holding for the long term? Thanks

Found out I could move my entire 401K into FBTC today. Switched it all over at 98K and instantly made $1000. Can't wait for the future.

In 2024, the Grayscale BCHG fund increased its holdings by approximately 100,000 BCH. Throughout the year, the fund traded at up to 4x the spot price, meaning that in dollar terms, it represented the equivalent of up to 400,000 BCH worth of demand—if it had been an ETF.

In 2024, the Grayscale BCHG fund increased its holdings by approximately 100,000 BCH. Throughout the year, the fund traded at up to 4x the spot price, meaning that in dollar terms, it represented the equivalent of up to 400,000 BCH worth of demand—if it had been an ETF.

If an actual ETF were to sustain this level of accumulation, it would remove around 400,000 BCH from the spot market annually. However, with an ETF and strong price action, the impact could be significantly greater.

Since BCH has a capped supply, continued accumulation by an ETF would eventually lead to spot market depletion. Currently, leverage traders and large whales engage in battles to liquidate each other’s positions. An ETF, however, would steadily absorb BCH during these price swings, permanently removing coins from circulation.

Over time, this would reduce volatility by shifting ownership from leveraged traders to long-term investors utilizing ETF spot buying. Additionally, it would enhance liquidity through options trading, further stabilizing the market.

Edit: For comparison, Microstrategy owns 470k BTC, while even at this base case rate , with a BCH ETF investors could buy 400k BCH per year based on 2024 purchases and the premium. So if you think MSTR had any impact on BTC pricing , a BCH ETF would have a much larger impact each year, and these numbers are based on Pre-ETF closed BCHG fund investors!
