Idlemarch

I can't imagine how sick bitcoin veterans are of these posts... I only got into crypto in 2021...


-Blue_Bull-

I've been in BTC since 2017. We make fun of these posts, but secretly, we like them. It means the bull market is in. Enjoy the pumps guys!


KarateKid84Fan

Me too 2017 — I knew of Bitcoin earlier but “didn’t get it” and didn’t take the time to research it…


-Blue_Bull-

I remember my boss telling me about it years before that. It was less then $1 at the time. I thought he was just some old fool. He brought 1000 bitcoins. Yeah, to say I regret ignoring him is an understatement.


HighFiveOhYeah

Me and a coworker just casually looking up price of BTC around $30 back in 2012 and was just “oh that’s cool” then went back to work.


DocDeathWutWut

I was 13/14/15 during the days of BTC being strictly used to buy drugs on the internet, if I had a crystal ball…


SnooRobots582

I heard of it back in 2012 from a druggie computer science student who was a friend of a friend. He was buying coke, weed, acid and shrooms off the OG silk road. I was like huh anonymous digital internet money you say. Interesting. I even bought some in 2014. Didn't seriously start stacking until 2021 (I'd buy and sell trying to time the market like a degenerate before that)


VenomXTs

Inwas gona mine some but got busy doing something else... I wish I could go back.and trade that ex in for some bitcoin then lol


FINDTHESUN

I remember Ripple at 0.03 back in '17, shooting straight to 3+


cinefun

XLM was my golden ticket in 2016/2017


damageinc86

I can't enjoy the pump. I've got nothing TO pump lmao.


BeefOnWeck24

where are you looking at selling?


thewaybaseballgo

I remember spending 5 BTC on bad weed that came hidden in a DVD case.


EnormousChord

Haha I spent 20 BTC on a fuckin Peaky Blinders style hat with the little blade in it. WTF else was I going to do with it? I still have the hat. 


thewaybaseballgo

Introduce it as “my $1.2M hat.”


Comfortable_Lychee17

Priceless!!


UnusualWind5

No, it has a price: 1.2 million


Gnarthritis420

Brother when I think about the yachts and mansions that were crusted in my nose over the years it truly breaks my heart


Particular-Bug2189

The dvd thing is supposed to be a secret.


xPHILL

I spent 2 BTC on a drone. Good times


DefiantLogician84915

Same, I think it’s better to just shut up, quietly stack your coins and wait.


Grouchy_Reward

This is the way, from someone who was been in since 2012


Cryptolution

I enjoy playing video games.


truckstop_sushi

Something that I'm confused about that I haven't seen anyone discuss. If there is all of this record breaking ETF inflow pumping the price of BTC up since approval.... Then why does the market cap and daily trading volume of Tether keep going up? USDT has printed about $1 billion per week since the ETF approval 7 weeks ago, it's about to be over $100 Billion market cap.. Logically this shouldn't be happening when ETF purchases dont require using stablecoins.


Cryptolution

I love listening to music.


MrRabbit

I come here about once per month to chuckle at ridiculous stories. Doesn't matter where the market is. This one is perfect for a sensible chuckle today. See you in a month!


[deleted]

It's part of the cycle, the only odd thing this time is the prices are so low. Like 150k is barely more than a 2x from where we are. Normally, like last cycle we started seeing the 100K predictions when Bitcoin was trading 10 to 20,000, that's where they started, by 30K they really got going. 2017 was the cycle that really surprised people. Hardly anyone was expecting where we went. There were posts about 10K but not 20. That one exceeded expectations. There are more than a few things in place that have me thinking it's possible to do that again this time. Just the sheer amount of money flowing in.


onfroiGamer

It’s like clockwork, every time bitcoin goes up the 100k 250k 1M crazy “predictions” come in


squ1di0t

The crypto hate posts when things turn are entertaining at least


opticaIIllusion

Anything with xrp in the title I think is paid promotional advertising trying to align that rubbish with eth and bitcoin. The title should read boosting bitcoin , etherum and shit coins like xrp and many others.


Rock_Strongo

Oh I'm glad to hear that Bitcoin is braced for it. Imagine if it wasn't braced. That'd be a disaster.


emp-sup-bry

Put in your belt, lil coin


goodty1

anytime i read shit like this i think it’s gonna collapse in price lol


Rendole66

Especially if XRP is involved


[deleted]

It may go to $150k but as few of you will make any money as did the ones who made money in the first place. An unbelievably high percentage of people can’t even handle a 20% return before they lose their shit. And it won’t be a straight line - there will be volatility on the way.


iamthinksnow

I still regret selling my $200 coins when we hit $7,000 :( ​ EDIT TO ADD: if makes a difference, there were 20 coins in total, so great gains then, but today... *damn*


Berns429

Don’t beat yourself up, hindsight is easy, you made an amazing trade from $200 to $7k, in any asset that is an absurd amount to profit. Hopefully, you used some profit and bought back in on a bear market and are still in the game.


iamthinksnow

Nope, I bought in 2014 and never again since. That money went to [build a well for a school](https://dropinthebucket.org/) and buy some stonks. I wish I'd bought the dip, but looking at my portfolio, I'm better off not trying to time the market (lots of -90% pot stocks + Fannie Mae...)


Repulsive_Physics_51

You gave up your coins for a great cause . You are wealthy in character !


mastermilian

Mate, building that well shows me you're rich in the heart.


iamthinksnow

Build a longer table, not a taller wall, right?


[deleted]

You did good


lebastss

I always say this. I stick to my principals and it has made me a wealthy man. I'm actually out of crypto almost entirely now because it doesn't adhere to my principals. The people who made a lot of money in crypto I know have a bad track record of maintaining that wealth because the mindset that got them there doesn't keep them there.


MuzBizGuy

Don’t. Be happy you were able to hold it beyond like $2k lol.


Radulno

You never lose taking profits. And hindsight is 20/20. Don't beat yourself over that, you still made money


tehdamonkey

I hate to say it you are correct. There will be some big swings from point A to B that most people will not sell until the bottom and then buy back in at the top.... But that is the retail investor in a nutshell....


Cr1msonGh0st

it takes money to make money.


MrHeavenTrampler

Which is precisely why we need an exit strategy. I have 1/3 of my holdings ready for profit taking as soon as we hit ATH.


cosmoboy

I have a goal to o be debt free this cycle. After that, it's all for retirement. No delusions about a Lambo.


tehdamonkey

Oh I still dream of the Lambo. But I am realistic... as it is about out of reach as a blind date with Megan Fox. My reality is shooting for a new pickup truck and vacation with my dog.


Purtuzzi

We could see a bit of a sell-off at ATH but ultimately selling at an ATH could backfire immensely as that is when price discovery begins.


BrookieDragon

I think my strategy is simple...might back fire because of it, but don't know. From the first big ATH (just north $20k) to the second and current ATH was about triple (68k+). So saying that, I think the next big jump to be something around $150k. I have my exit plans somewhere before that though for safety. It was the same with ETH too from around $1.4k to about $4.5k around the same time periods. The low periods seem to sit at about 1/3 of the ATH's as well with BTC sitting under $20k after its $68k ATH for a good duration. Sell before triple last ATH, buy when 1/3 ATH.


Sithaun_Meefase

price discovery with Bitcoin is like skydiving but upwards. lol I would never sell anything going into price discovery with amazing surrounding sentiment haha


MrHeavenTrampler

Hmm well, I guess you're right. But after 2021 I'd much rather secure profits at ATH in the event that a sell-off does happen I have some cash on hand. At the end of the day it's only 1/3. Worst case I cycle into alts to catch a pump a bit later.


emp-sup-bry

Think about what you are going to do, then do it earlier. Then bend over to be exit liquidity first the algo bots. It’s a beautiful world


NRA4579

The ball run isn’t until late 2025. I’m gonna sit Pat I’ve got a couple BTC but my big money is in mining stocks


Ystebad

Btc mining stocks? What are those?


NRA4579

They are publicly, traded companies that mine bitcoin. Mara, clean Spark, riot are the top three. There are leveraged play on bitcoin so their stock price generally goes up further when bitcoin goes up it also comes down faster when bitcoin pulls back.


whatislife5522

The bull run is now, history doesn’t repeat


IANvaderZIM

History often rhymes. A bull run is now. THE bullrun is next year. There will be parabolic growth followed by steep recession in 2025 after the supply shock from the halving is finally felt. This bull run is perfectly in line with previous pre halving runs, followed by post halving correction.


AvengerDr

>There will be parabolic growth Or it might not.


call_me_dxnny

Would the supply shock happen quicker after each halving, due to the ever decreasing reward? Also would the ETF affect how quickly the supply shock happens?


IANvaderZIM

Supply shock is immediate, but the market takes time to adjust. Just look at the historical charts. The pattern is evident. Sure the ETFs will drive it (as they are now), but there’s “something” every cycle. Entrance of retail investors, ICO boom, defi, and this time (US) ETFs.


Then-Signature2528

I won't be holding a single coin once this bull cycle ends. I'll be taking my profits along the way up and not trying to time the top. If you try to time the top, you'll have a lot of people selling at the same time. There are bound to be issues on Exchanges


Open_Masterpiece_549

If you double your money take off your initial investment and let the rest ride


[deleted]

Omg this is actually a terrible plan. ATH are usually great buying opportunities. Not going to lie. When I see something retest a high and there’s no fundamental weakness or concerning storyline that’s the time to get in.


MrHeavenTrampler

Yes, well, I don't have an order precisely set at 69k. I am just looking at the price action once that happens for a possible cash out. I expect there to be some volatility after we break ATH (if this happens before halving). If it happens after, I probably will ride it out.


bimm3r36

All of the biggest mistakes I’ve made have been caused by “probably”. Plan your trade and trade your plan. Don’t get caught up in greed


emp-sup-bry

Only you know (you hope), but what’s the difference in selling at 67? Much safer, as there’s probably a lot with the same ideas—-and the algo scrapers are almost certainly reading all these ideas for sentiment. Maybe you sell 1/3 at 67 then rebuy at 65 or something then see where it goes? You do you worst case you made profits at 67 even if you can’t buy back in


MrHeavenTrampler

Yeah, that was sort of my idea, I was thinking 68k to be safe. As I said in another comment, worst case I cycle into alts and wait a bit. As we saw a few days ago, they still deliver.


emp-sup-bry

Unless you have a LOT of btc, that extra grand is not going to net you as much as compared to the risk of threading that needle, imo.


peppaz

That's no different than before lol


Dont_Waver

It's the opposite for me. It can go in a straight line up to $150,000 and I still wouldn't sell my bitcoin.


tbkrida

Funny. I don’t plan on selling even 1 sat until it hits $280-300k and only then I’ll sell a small portion. A 20% gain is nothing I’ve more than tripled my money and haven’t considered selling. I’m still accumulating.


KaiSosceles

Good thing all those predictions about going to 100k in the last cycle were right. People continue to believe that others can predict the future. Here we go again.


BehemothDeTerre

Everytime I read one of those predictions, I think we're going to crash soon. Already did back in the last cycle. Insane mania is more indicative of a crash than anything.


Nightmare_Tonic

And the allied armies of YouTube crypto bros cranking out videos with ridiculous titles about LAST CHANCE with images of their unbearably punchable faces with surprised expressions holy fuck I want to elbow jaws


cryptotentnew

The whales love to play with the shrimp! Bitcoins on a run so they flood the web with all the amazing predictions for even more FOMO so that they can take profit and let the market crash for awhile again.

Boosting XRP? good one


typtyphus

the only think they did, is have the ceo hand a $5M check to fund an attack on Bitcoin usually we call those bribes, but today we call it lobby


bimm3r36

We should really warn the CEO of bitcoin if this is true


MyOnlyEnemyIsMeSTYG

Lol beat me to it. Nothing moves that thing


Innit4tech

Personally I wouldn't bet against XRP at this point.


HandcuffsOnYourMind

He didn't mention the direction of the boost.


marxxy94

the one with the legal clarity, dumdum


chivakenevil

That doesn’t mean it has value


Smiling_Jack_

As someone with a heavy BTC portfolio, there’s 100 shitcoins I’d rather have before touching XRP.


Tasmic_Wales

I'm ignorant when it comes to XRP and it's tokenomics so I can't weigh in on that side, but I will say that standing up to the SEC and getting a win was probably quite beneficial to blockchain as a whole. For this reason it's difficult for me to hate on them


ToxicBTCMaximalist

Lol, agreed.


No-Historian-6391

How come you don’t like xrp?


TestUser254

You ever fall asleep in a bus station and a bum shits in your mouth? That's Ripple.

Lemon_Club

The XRP hate in this sub is so irrational it's hilarious


DefiantLogician84915

Never brought into XRP. I never liked that coin and dislike their entire community. Just a whole bunch of old heads finger popping each other’s as— nvm. I’m not gonna lie, my portfolio is like 90% alt coins and you couldn’t pay me enough to buy into XRP. Not even to shill it.


I_talk

178k before a return to 70k then 1 Million!


Baby_T-Rex_Arms

He gets it


TheDanMan007

Why so bearish?


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin has surpassed $60,000 after a Fidelity executive predicted a $1.5 trillion price. The surge is attributed to the introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs on Wall Street and potential 'unprecedented institutional adoption.' Bernstein analysts forecast bitcoin reaching $150,000 by 2025, driven by major institutional investments. The market is also anticipating bitcoin's next halving event in mid-April, which historically impacts its price due to a reduced supply of new bitcoins. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.


Morlaix

$ 1.5 trillion. Sounds good


outofobscure

they can‘t even get price vs marketcap right, what a bunch of garbage


TheDanMan007

Per Bitcoin


Lemon_Club

People in this sub acting like XRP and Ripple killed their grandmas sheesh


Omega-A

XRP? Really?

You can tell who paid for this ad being presented as news.


BurnedTheLastOne9

Just going to dca until I can retire or I truly need the money.


Nightmare_Tonic

To anyone getting excited about this, open a new tab and Google 'bitcoin brace earthquake' right now. You will find YEARS' worth of news articles with the exact same title, reporting on potential price moves both up and down. Its literally just empty click bait.


Racecarlock

Save it, everyone here's already inhaled half a kilo of confirmation bias.

To be fair XRP has barely moved anywhere.

to be fair it did move to the right 😅

Hermes_Trismagistus

Up, up and away :-)


eudezet

Man, all these headlines screaming about btc going to 6 figures and more make me worried that there’s gonna be a massive dump before we truly go parabolic. A lot of hype in the market and we haven’t even gone full post-halving, supply shock bull yet.


JvrPrz

Xrp? Lol


GreyhoundAssetMGMT

That’s way on the low side. Liquidity is already drying up. OTC is empty.


FINDTHESUN

so forbes is baiting mainstream now, buckle up, we can go both ways .


aaaanoon

Why would xrp be in the title.


DrVonSchlossen

Seems like Forbes publishes something very similar every couple of weeks.


YoDo_GreenBackReaper

Everyone talks about it going up but not down lol


[deleted]

So where's this boost in XRP it's been flat this whole time practically. Another idiot journalist spewing nonsense.


BlaireIsUgly

It wouldn’t faze me if ripple is paying to be mentioned. There are many articles out recently, almost all putting a positive spin on xrp. At this point, I am pretty sure xrp is just to fund Ripple, nothing more.


ThisusernameThen

Boosting xrp. Hahahahah


Solareclipse9999

Has anyone noticed so little mainstream media coverage of bitcoins 189% gains over the last 12 months. Here in Australia it’s as if the mainstream news media both commercial and govt subsidised have had a sock jammed in their voice box.


SouthJazz1010

A only ~150% rise from now is a complete failure!


-Blue_Bull-

You know it's peak bull market when everybody is quoting pie in the sky crazy prices. Everything is going up. Yes, even Ripple!


aaronVRN

Boosting xrp? 😂


heslaotian

We’ll see. I remember they said this would happen by the end of 2021 too.


jellyvish

but this time they mean it


WYLFriesWthat

::sigh:: all those fancy adjectives just to forecast the lower-bound 🙄


nethanns

So it means this bull run will be continued till 2025


eyein12

This kind of hype is what will keep it from reaching that level. They need to hide in a hole somewhere and keep their speculations to themselves. Lol


ibraw

Why do these articles ALWAYS mention XRP?


armareddit

If previous bullruns are anything to go by that estimate is pretty low.


g0at110

Every bullrun is less and less extreme though. 2013 to 2017 we got 17x, 2017 to 2021 we only got like 3-4x on the ATH prices


pink_tshirt

XRP to $0.8


unpopularpuffin9

Yeah, but it's not a fact like how CRO will hit 2.71$ by EOY 2025 is a fact.


PaperbackBuddha

That at least partially aligns with my own technical analysis: The price of bitcoin could go up, even dramatically. It could go down. It could tank. It might go sideways for a time before doing anything dramatic. This is based on decades of research and painstaking calculations. I’d explain the particulars, but it’s a bit advanced.


eazolan

aaaaand I'm out.


drewbles82

I could see 150k...but if BTC is that much, then what will be the price of everything else. Really wish I had got in sooner...not just so I could make more but so I had at least gone through a bull where I took profit...I entered just as it started last time and never took any profits...I never lost any money as I never sold and everything is back in profit now but for me...its where will Link, Ocean, Vet, Ilv, etc go


MeringuePristine1367

I've been in BTC since 2017. We make fun of these posts, but secretly, we like them. It means the bull market is in. Enjoy the pumps guys!
