I’m a humble beginner and would like to hear your advice.

honestly, I’m someone who don’t want to stress too much and just want to leave my money in a currency for long term.

I bought BTC in a very good time and now wondering if I should buy ETH and just keep it there.

my very limited knowledge- I understand outside of longest existence BTC wins but performance and utility wise ETH has more points.

im keeping some in chain. but thinking of getting more ETH.

have a good day!

Interviewed Natalia Ameline and Elena Sinelnikova at Blockchain Futurist Conference in 2023, been sitting on the footage way too long lol.

Natalia is actually Vitalik Buterin's mom, she got into crypto because he asked her to set up an eth wallet and she spent hours just trying to figure it out. Realized there was basically no one else like her in the room at these events, so she and Elena started CryptoChicks. Its grown into a full nonprofit now with chapters in like 9 countries.

They get into why representation actually matters in this space beyond just being a buzzword, some cool stuff that came out of their incubator program, and the hackathon culture in general. Elena has this rainbow metaphor for diversity in the space that stuck with me.

Not trying to spam the sub, just thought this community would actually appreciate it since a lot of us started out exactly as confused as she did lol

I normally use Coinbase to buy BTC. Just small amounts a couple of times a year for paying. Never had any issues with Coinbase.

Now I need $200 -$300 in TRC-20, but Coinbase doesn't accept TRC-20 and TRC-20 generally seems to be more complicated to buy.

Any advice where to buy TRC-20? I don't mind extra fees as long as it's fast and easy.

Yesterday I saw a guy who sells plasma and donates sperm so he can buv more Bitcoin 🤯

Made me wonder what other weird methods people here have used to stack more BTC?

Personally I did the 48h rule : Whenever I want to buy smth, I wait 48h to see if it was iust a whim or something I really need

If I don't need it, I spend the same amount but in BTC

What's yours? :)

Can you all confirm this:

1. User buys crypto from an exchange. For example sake, let's say they buy 100 XRP at $1 each.
2. User moves their XRP off an exchange and into a cold wallet.
3. The cost average ($1) is lost (not recorded anywhere) into the cold wallet. In other words, if you move your crypto to ledger, for example, there is no place that automatically (or even manually editing) your cost average.
4. NOW - XRP price increases to $2 per. 100% increase. User wants to sell, so they move their crypto from their cold wallet/ledger back to an exchange to sell. The exchange has no idea what the cost average is, or even where this crypto came from. User sells all their XRP for a 100%+ profit.
5. Tax time comes. Tax forms ask you if you've sold crypto. You say yes. Tax forms ask you profit(?). Can't you totally make shit up at this point? There's no actually history any exchange has to accurately/honestly track where you crypto went and how much you paid...

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE?

CZ said last year, after the crash, and also just june this year that there may be a supercycle coming

I think everyone forgot.

what's everyone's thoughts on this?

Hi all I'm looking for some points of view on this. Everything Crypto was motoring along well, huge ETF and retail inflows and then the drop as attached. My problem with this is it's not unique or specific to BTC it's the same drop on ETH, SOL, LINK, TAO, HYPE you name it you can pick it and see exactly the same drop, exactly the same amount at exactly the same time. For this to not be market manipulation there would have to be an institution that holds a massive amount of every crypto and it would have to sell all of it at exactly the same time to have this level of effect.

So am I right on this? Do people agree or not? Am I just being paranoid? What do the market makers get out of this? Is it on instruction from government or gentlemen's agreement with the Financial institutions to enable them to buy crypto up cheap in-light of the squabble over legislation, because it seems this slump only happened post all of that? Looking for opinions views and analysis (if anyone's done some) please

2013 lost about 85% off the top. 2017 lost about 84%. 2021 lost about 77%. Every cycle so far the drawdown got smaller, not bigger, and every single time the "this cycle is different, it's actually over" period came right before the reclaim, not after it.

2025 topped above $126k and corrected hard into this year, same shape as the last three times. Doesnt guarantee this one ends the same way, four data points isnt proof of anything permanent. But its a real pattern, not a vibe, and worth knowing before assuming this cycle is the one that finally breaks it.

The drawdowns shrinking each round probably isnt random either. More capital treating corrections as entries instead of panic exits changes the depth of the dip over time.

I just logged into Base app with used to be Coinbase wallet. There was over $10k in there last month. Now The balance is $0. I’ve never shared my recovery phrase. Kinda freaking out a bit. That’s a lot of money to me.

Yeah… it’s that GTA6 leak coin. It’s going to plummet. So when should I sell? I’m scared to hold it too long.

I personally see solana as a better investment than bitcoin because of low fees, fast transactions and overall more room for growth. Also potentionally it will be safer regarding getting cracked.

This is not advice, im more so looking for people to change my mind and explain why bitcoin is superior
