A strange feeling
I just sold all my Bitcoins to buy my dream car. I trust Bitcoin but I need a car and I want to use what I've saved for many years.
This feeling of selling out and no longer being part of the holder team is strange for me!
It's time to redo the DCA !
(Just wanted to share with you)

I recently found my old wallet from 2016, it had 3 BTC, what's the best step to do now?

Do you believe in continued 29% CAGR?
Or is "historic performance not indicative of future performance" still relevant with BTC?
Why, or why not? Just want to hear opinions.

I'm 16 years old and still at school. Is there still time?
I'm 16 years old, I'm from Brazil, I receive 300 reais per month, which is very little compared to dollars, but I've already been saving money and I have some satoshis, but I don't know if I should continue buying satoshis or use the money for something else.
I'm a minor and technically I was supposed to tell my parents that I bought bitcoin but I know very well what their reaction will be so I'm going to try to wait a little longer before talking to them.
For me, 1 Bitcoin is a dream that seems very far away and until I start receiving real money, Bitcoin will already be much bigger and will be much more expensive so I keep asking myself. Is there still time?

Don't worry about buying at the top. You're buying at future lows.
Confirmed I'm a late entrant to BTC, but I am doing my best to rapidly stack sats. With the dollar falling and stocks being unpredictable, what starts to be more obvious is that Bitcoin is something of a "safe" haven, made even more solid by the capped number of BTC that can ever be produced. There will be more demand and there will be no more supply, which will continue to push price pressures upward.
So if you're looking at Bitcoin at 95k or 85k or 105k and thinking you don't want to get in at the top, not only is dollar cost averaging the best way to stop chasing a pricepoint, but it is time to start thinking of the current prices not as all time highs, but instead as future lows that may never be available again.
Every one-time all time high has been left in the dust and may not ever be seen again. This means the best time to buy is always until the next time and then you buy again. BTC is cheap at 95k and it will be cheap at 120k and will be cheap at 250k. That's the game.

What happened to Andreas M. Antonopoulos?
I used to be filtered his content on Youtube but noticing his most recent posts were 5 months and then 1+ year ago. And seems hims 2 most recent tweets align with those video posts. He's also not on the podcast or conference circuit like literally every other bitcoin influencer.
He used to be a main bitcoin figure head that I just don't see or hear about anymore.
Anyone know what's up or have an update on him? Is he just selling his content direct via Patreon or something? Or did he no longer want the attention?

My First Bitcoin Purchase 06 03 2025
Today, I initiated my first investment in Bitcoin by purchasing 247 shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) at $60.735. My strategy is to dollar-cost average (DCA) into the ETF on a weekly basis over the next 8-10 weeks, aiming to accumulate a position equivalent to one Bitcoin. As often seems to happen with my stock purchases, the market dipped shortly after my buy at around 11:45 a.m. EST, but I’m sticking to my plan. Excited to keep building my exposure to BTC!

Bitcoin is crazy
Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency — it’s a decentralized response to broken financial systems. Whether it’s $10K or $200K in 2026, the real value is in owning an asset that doesn’t answer to any government, bank, or central authority.

Found 3000 USD worth of btc
I know it’s not a lot compared to most of you here.
For the past week or so I’ve been scrolling through crypto subreddits out of curiosity.
I then remember an old hp computer I had from 2013, I had like around 0.03 btc from god knows and I had a photo of the key in my google photos.
How do I cash out this to my bank?

What I hate about Bitcoin
I’ve been aware of Bitcoin since 2013, but really dove in around 2019. Read the books, listened to many podcasts, took the proverbial orange pill. And yeah, it changed me. It opened my eyes to how broken the fiat world really is. The manipulation. The decay. The illusion of value and progress. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Now I notice it everywhere. Architecture used to be expressive, human, beautiful. Now it’s cold and bland. Everything is gray boxes and copy-paste designs. Art, design, craftsmanship… all of it feels like it’s been optimized to the point of soullessness. There’s no care anymore. Just throughput.
And here’s the part that really messes with me. Bitcoin is supposed to represent hope. A better system. A way out. But what I hate is how it’s made me hyper-aware of how blind and numb most people are. The system is crumbling around them, and they just keep scrolling. As long as the delivery app works and the next show auto-plays, who cares?
Yeah, number go up. Great. But it doesn’t change the fact that I feel more isolated than ever. Most people don’t want to hear it. Most don’t even want to think. And honestly, sometimes I wonder if I took the wrong pill. Would I be happier if I’d just kept my head down and stayed asleep? I don’t know.

Invested $95000 in BTC
I put all my eggs in 1 basket and bought $95k CAD worth of BTC @ $118K.
This is my life savings. Should I take the earnings I accumulated so far or stay for the volatile long haul with the risk of losing it all?
Signs are positive given the current political climate

Did Satoshi choose 21M as a nod to the inflation of ‘truth’ itself?
Most people explain Bitcoin's 21 million supply limit by referencing mining rewards and halvings (50 → 25 → 12.5 → etc.).
But if you think critically, you'll notice:
Satoshi could have set block halvings after 200,000 or 250,000 blocks instead of 210,000.
He could have chosen a starting reward of 40, 60, or any other value.
The total supply could have been any number — 20 million, 25 million, 50 million — depending on simple design choices.
Now, recently I watched a 2007 lecture by Kent Hovind called "Dinosaurs and the Bible".
Originally, I was simply curious about the topic of dinosaurs in the Bible (not Bitcoin, not earth age theories).
But then something jumped out at me:
Starting around minute 45:00 Kent Hovind explains how, throughout modern history, scientists have kept increasing the estimated age of the Earth:
- In 1770, the Earth was said to be 70,000 years old.
- In 1905, it became 2 billion years old.
- In 1969, it was raised to 3.5 billion years old.
- Today, it's 4.6 billion years old.
He jokingly calculates that, based on the historical record, the Earth's age "inflates" by about 21 million years per year.
Now — Bitcoin’s whitepaper was published in 2008, just after this lecture was circulating online.
Here’s the theory:
Satoshi might have seen the irony that not just currencies inflate — but even supposed scientific "truth" about fundamental things like the age of the Earth inflates over time.
Choosing 21 million bitcoins could be a subtle philosophical jab:
- A fixed, hard limit against monetary inflation,
- And perhaps symbolically, a fixed limit against the inflation of truth itself.
In a world where everything — money, facts, narratives — keeps inflating and losing meaning, Bitcoin stands as a rare creation with hard, unchangeable scarcity.
Important note:
- I realize there’s no direct proof.
- But when you look at Satoshi’s style (hidden references, anti-inflation ethos, philosophical undertones) — and the timing (2007 lecture, 2008 whitepaper) — it makes this theory very logically possible.
Maybe Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap isn’t just about economics...
Maybe it's also a message about truth, scarcity, and resistance to human tendency to endlessly inflate everything.
Would love to hear what you all think. Has anyone else ever made this connection before?
