    I know several people in these forums who would have been multimillionaires if they never delved into shitcoinry and held BTC. I am not sure what is worse - taking an 80% hit on your net worth or coming in late.

    Pretty sure BTC is going to at least 100K in the next month....so there's enough gains left even in the short term.

    In 2017 and 2021 the alt gains were all but guaranteed for people that kinda knew what they were doing . 5-10x easy.

    problem was never had the time to follow closely enough.

    before I knew it NK Kim Jong hacked one of my coins and they rest fell to ****.

    ironically the people in my family doing the best with crypto are the least savvy. Just buying BTC and holding

    The hardest part of the alt wave is knowing when to get out.

    I forgot his username, but I know the guy that tried to sell the Mont Blanc wallet here
    , was somewhat of a meme for a while

    he got into BTC in 2009, made a good amount but traded it all for alts. Would probably be worth a billion now if hodld

    Should be knocking on 100K soon at this rate.

    We will probably bounce off 100K a few times, but once we break it, it's off to the races.

    I wasn't expecting this until Q1 2025. Fun times.

    Almost another 18-20k BTC for MSTR. They just bought 51,758. Bitcoin national reserve coming?

    I'm not expecting any of the nation state level stuff to get off the ground but boy there is a good amount of smoke and a lot more to come.

    The hater brigade sure has been quiet lately.

    MSTR has been an obvious play for quite some time. But for how long? Peter Schiff finally gets it.

    Hey my XRP stock is doing something!

    Coinbase is ending direct deposits and I'm kinda sad about that. Was a nice way to avoid trading fees

    Use River, Swan, Strike... etc

    Yeah can you believe it? I was still on normiebase. Even had a debit card too and was paying for things in btc, xlm, link, etc. It was pretty cool but I guess they want to make more money from transaction fees. Gonna check those ones out. I've also used metamask and raydium (solana) too
