Hello, do you think it is possible to buy a house in 10 years by collateralizing 0.5 BTC?

The last year or so I've gotten more and more into bitcoin. I've gone from a skeptic > thinking it's a good investment > believing it's a beautiful gift for all of humanity.

So needless to say, I'm very bullish on bitcoin. My question is: *do you think the cap on bitcoin could theoretically limit it's distribution in the future?*

My thought was that when you have big players entering the market over the next five or six years that could theoretically have an appetite for a million bitcoin, big players that have no intention of selling it and using it as a store of value, what would happen if no one wanted to sell and there was no more additional bitcoin being mined?

Please bare with me as I'm still learning some of the technical aspects of bitcoin / cryptocurrencies in general.

I’ve been thinking about this lately and I’m curious if there’s any valid reason for keeping Bitcoin on an exchange rather than securing it in a cold wallet as soon as possible. I get the usual risks associated with exchanges, but are there any benefits or compelling reasons for someone to leave their Bitcoin on an exchange for a while? Would love to hear different perspectives on this.

THXXXXXX.

So black rocks got a lot of Mara and riot platforms stonk, actually about double the amount of riot they own in Mara, & they brought Mara at alot higher price . They brought at around 19$ a share 2 months ago, there stock is currently about that again, l'm wondering if yall think Mara is a good bet & great value ? I'm just wondering cause I got a bit trigger happy on riot, but still not 2 worried. Black rock & vangaurd brought riot at 7$ a share lol . so 13 $ a share wasn’t the smartest average 4 me , does anyone know if these holding r also connected too thier etf holdings as well ?

He was impressed about Bitcoin reaching 100 dollars. He couldn't have imagined 100K, probably.

The regret of not buying back then is real.

What is the best way to HODL 4 Bitcoin?

I'm using a single-sig + passphrase with no issues. However, as the value of BTC increases, the N of N requirement (seed + passphrase) starts to play on my mind. Lose either phrase, and it's game over.

Both phrases are secured physically and in my memory, but the risk of loss still exists.

I'm considering a two-of-three multi-sig without a passphrase and generating three private keys via BIP-85-derived child seeds. Multi-sig provides a margin for key loss while maintaining a similar level of seed/private key management with BIP-85, making this method attractive to me.

The downside is that if my master seed is exposed, all seeds are exposed, but with an unlimited number of child seeds and an unknown number of keys required to recover the target wallet. I think this is a fair trade-off for simplicity, but is it?

While considering my options, I want to gather feedback from the Bitcoin hive mind for the best way to secure a life-altering amount of BTC.

Edit: I’m not a U.S resident, Unchained Capital is not an option sadly.

This goes in line with my previous post where I made tiers of shrimp after finding out 98% of wallets are shrimp. I saw a lot of people posting which tier they were so I wanted to get a gist of the subreddit as a whole.

Hello! I just want to send 2 dollars of BTC from my exodus wallet to another, but I can't do so cause of minimum requirements or something like that (I am not to crypto, sorry I don't know all the terms). I only got 2 dollars in my wallet, no extra money, and want to send it to another, but it isn't allowing me. Please can anyone help me figure out a solution?

Hypothetically would it make sense to sell a certain amount of BTC preemptively to cover taxes and then invest it in stocks or t-bills until it’s time to pay the IRS?

So, I commented in another post on r/bitcoin that my wages in fiat are stagnant (up only 55% in 15 years), whereas net worth (which includes Bitcoin, stocks, bonds and real estate) measured in fiat is expanding by multiples (up by 25x in the same time).

This was meant to say that assets are appreciating rapidly, whereas employers are keeping wages stagnant or even decreasing in inflation adjusted terms.

Be an asset holder - Bitcoin is one of the best assets out there. But also buy and HODL other assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate.

Now, coming to the 9-5. Even though wages from my 9-5 are stagnant, the 9-5 is still important. Don’t give up on your 9-5.

The 9-5 is your path to stacking more bitcoin and other assets, esp. real estate. Banks love you when you have a steady 9-5 work history. They are willing to offer you good and cheap credit to buy your home, which is a great way to build wealth over time using leverage. Your employer offers you tax deferred 401k, often with matching funds, which helps build your stock and bond wealth over time.

And once you have a few millions worth of real estate, stocks and bonds, it becomes easier (less risky) to stack bitcoin aggressively as well - think of Bitcoin as the turbocharged icing on your asset cake.

So, think of the 9-5 as your path to more Bitcoin, rather than thinking of Bitcoin as your path out of the 9-5.

I’ve been a holder for about 1 year now and I love it… it’s been great and the growth I’ve seen is incredible. I’m curious what is another cryptocurrency aside from BTC that is a good hold(of course I am not selling BTC lol)
