Going 100% BTC. What does that mean?
I see a lot of posters saying they are 90% or 100% into BTC.
Does this mean:
1) that they converted any savings they had in an Ira or 401 k into BTC? If so did they wait to switch jobs and tax implications.
2) that they save every penny moving forward into BTC stacking sats
3) that they are young whene they got into BTC and this was the only asset they have ever utilized to save?

How do yall cope with not buying an entire coin?
Back when BTC was 16K I had a chance to buy an entire coin and I didn’t. It makes me sick to think about. I wouldn’t be so sick if I didn’t know anything about BTC back then, but I was well educated.
How do yall get over missing out on such good buying opportunities?

If you had 100k How would you invest it into BTC
Would you lump sum or DCA the 100k for a longterm investment?

Time to Retire the “Only What You Can Lose” Rule?
Bitcoin is still often described using the phrase “only invest what you can afford to lose.” While this is good advice for highly speculative assets, it may no longer apply in the same way to Bitcoin.
Today, Bitcoin has a market cap in the trillions, is held by institutions and governments, and is integrated into regulated financial products like ETFs. It’s become a major component of the global financial system. If Bitcoin were to collapse entirely, it would likely trigger broader economic consequences. In other words, it's too big to fail.
What do you think? Should we move past the idea that Bitcoin is just for speculative capital, or does that mindset still serve a purpose today?
P.S. This post was written with the help of AI to better structure and clarify the argument.

Why is Bitcoin still considered “risky”? It’s trading at $105K+ amid global chaos.
Look, I’m trying to wrap my head around something: Bitcoin is sitting comfortably around $105–107K, and yet people keep calling it a “risky asset.” That makes zero sense to me.
Let’s look at the macro backdrop:
1. Global trade war Tariffs are flying between major economies. Supply chains disrupted. Uncertainty everywhere.
2. Dollar losing dominance In 2025 alone, the dollar has fallen nearly 10% against a basket of major currencies  . Against the euro alone, it’s down 10.37% year-to-date , and currently trading around 1.157 USD/EUR .
3. No rate cuts in sight Despite signs of slowing inflation, central banks (like the Fed and ECB) still haven’t cut interest rates . Dollar strength is fading, but debt yields could keep it afloat short-term.
4. Israel–Iran conflict Escalating tensions in the Middle East. Yet Bitcoin didn’t crash—it’s holding solid above $105K   .
5. Historic price resilience Bitcoin hit an all‑time high of about $111,970 on May 22, 2025 . Now it’s down just ~5% from that high, despite all this turmoil .
And still, it’s tagged as “volatile” and “risky”? But when you scan global markets: war, trade wars, de‑dollarisation, geopolitical volatility—the dollar is weakening, safe‑haven gold is capped, interest rates aren’t easing—and Bitcoin is somehow holding above six figures.
If investors are genuinely afraid of dollar devaluation, inflation and geopolitical risk, what’s actually riskier: • Holding digital gold that’s proven to maintain value against chaos? • Or holding paper money rapidly losing purchasing power?
Sure, BTC still swings (~1–2% a day), but 10% drawdowns have become rarer as on‑chain, institutional and treasury adoption deepen. Demand is intensifying from companies, HNW individuals, and even governments tinkering with bitcoin treasuries.
So if you’re long-term bullish on decentralization and capital safety, why not treat Bitcoin as a core hedge? The real risk is clinging to a crumbling dollar and calling it “safe.”
TL;DR: Global trade wars, dollar losing nearly 10%, war in the Middle East, no rate cuts—yet Bitcoin sits at $105–110K with record institutional backing. If that’s “risky,” redefine your terms.
What am I missing here? Why are people still so bearish, even in the face of literal dollar collapse and geopolitical chaos?

Trust me - We are still early
Last Saturday, as I was chatting with my fiancee's friends about how spot-buying high conviction stocks (and allocating the budget in a way where when there's a significant dip like 20%, you buy in the same cash value), I realized there's a fundamental flaw in which people trade. Most of them will be paper hands when they see a 10% dip and immediately sell their holdings, and when they reenter, they will often buy it when it has already shot past the original price they bought in at.
What is surprising is I still hear a few of them not understand BTC or are even non-believers. I was explaining to them in terms of simple math that there will only ever be 21 million BTCs ever and if there is a clear regulatory path (which is already happening), then all the institutions (banks, governments, family offices) and retail will start to REALLY pay attention to it and hoarding it. $1 million per $BTC is far from being an absurd hypothesis.
Even as a hedge, I told them it would be great to gain exposure to $BTC in some form, whether being through ETFs or BTC-related stocks (whether is mining, BTC treasuries like $MSTR or 3350.T etc). They looked at me as if I'm crazy.
Well I'll be damned.

The same people who called me 'delusional' for buying Bitcoin are now asking how to buy it. Feels surreal.
I bought Bitcoin a while ago (it's on my profile if you're curious). Back then, I got laughed at — friends, family, even random people online. Every dip was followed by a sarcastic “Told you it was a scam.”
Fast forward to today:
“Which exchange should I use?”
“Is it safe to buy now?”
“How much should I start with?”
The same people who used to mock are now asking for help. Some even bought in and turned into full-on HODLers.
It’s wild how things change.
Not here to brag, just saying — stick to your convictions. Adoption always looks like denial at first.
Has anyone else had people in their life do a complete 180 on Bitcoin? I’d love to hear your stories.

I Think I Discovered a Pattern
I was digging into historical Bitcoin halving cycles and think I spotted a surprisingly consistent pattern that might tell us what the peak price for this cycle could be.
Here’s what I found:
BTC Halving to Peak Multipliers:
2012 Halving: ~$12 → ~$1,150 = ~95x
2016 Halving: ~$650 → ~$20,000 = ~30x
2020 Halving: ~$8,600 → ~$69,000 = ~8x
I ran the numbers and noticed something cool:
Each cycle's multiplier drops by a factor of roughly 3.3-3.5x.
➗ Here's the math:
95 / 30 ≈ 3.17
30 / 8 = 3.75
Average drop factor: ~3.46x
So if we apply the same factor again:
> 8 / 3.46 ≈ 2.3x
Prediction for This Cycle:
2024 Halving Price ≈ $63,000
Predicted Peak ≈ $145,000 (63K × 2.3)
This lines up with the idea that Bitcoin’s gains are still exponential - just at a slowing, compressing rate over time.
---
Obviously, nothing is guaranteed, but this could be useful for setting realistic expectations and exit targets going into late 2025. Curious to hear your thoughts!
Is this just coincidence, or is there a real pattern here?

Imagine if, on June 17, everyone walked into local shops and asked, “Do you accept Bitcoin?” — even if they don’t. Just asking forces the conversation. It plants a seed. If enough people ask, businesses will start thinking about it.

What are you doing with your old, crusty 401(k) ?
Rumor has it you can trade your 401(k) in standard old Fidelity for a bitcoin IRA in Unchained. Anyone else besides me looking at doing this ?
I have 0 faith in banks and companies like Fidelity. That get rich loaning my fiat dollars to other people.

every btc conversation with no-coiners
Yesterday at a BBQ, talking with my girlfriend’s family, I was struck by how basic their understanding of fiat is. They still think it’s backed by gold and see Bitcoin as just another investment tool—nothing important. It made me realize that for most people, Bitcoin isn’t relevant at all; traditional finance is. Things like investing $100 a month to retire at 75. Sometimes I feel like an idiot even mentioning Bitcoin, and questioning, am i in an echo chamber or are they so F blind to what its happening?

Biggest regret of my life
At the age of 25, my biggest regret in life is not investing in Bitcoin before 2020, or at 50K. At 50K, it was still possible to get life-changing money from the amount I can invest.
Before 2016, I was reading news about Bitcoin and thought it's literally a steel medallion or something like that and was wondering why would anyone buy a medallion for thousands ($$$).
Even earlier, when homemade mining rigs were used by people (stacked gaming GPUs), I was wondering, why would anyone use GPUs for Bitcoin mining and what this even means instead of building a gaming PC with them.
Now, at 25, I'm daydreaming literally every second of the waking hours, what could my life be like if I invested early.
I'm from a Bulgarian province and the feeling is demoralizing as hell. Holes on the asphalt, tree roots pushing roads upwards, deteriorating "commie" blocks, an underpaid and exploitative job I can barely tolerate, relatives who don't understand my pain, you know...
I wish I learned what Bitcoin actually is and then used my GPUs to mine it instead of running Counter-Strike, Call of Duty and Minecraft 24/7 and, in addition to this, giving my parents' hard-earned money to Gabe Newell for free.
All my problems in life, both social and financial, stem from the fact I didn't invest in Bitcoin. This is the conclusion I made after spending a long time thinking what I did wrong and how I ended up like that.
