Bitcoin Forum

I will make it short.
Without Bitcoin I would be nothing. Perhaps I would just have an okayish life but not the time freedom I can afford now. Bitcoin allowed me to be global, generous and polite. Thank you Satoshi, Hal Finney and everyone else including you who is reading it.

Thanks to the creator, thanks to everyone who has made Bitcoin what it is today, and also thanks to the   100 push-up  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5484350.0)movement members who have also used exercise to show their support for Bitcoin before it touches the $100k.

Naturally, I took profits when we hit $100K, that ATH was too good to pass up. The gains allowed me to share blessings with loved ones, which has always been my nature even before Bitcoin. My family and I also enjoyed some unforgettable travels funded by those returns.

And... I'm not sweating this current bloodbath. 100k will return and 200k might just become the next peak.
And don't worry, I'm still holding a solid long-term stash.

Until the next cycle!  :D

BTW @Hazink, you can write your message to satoshi in this thread below,

What is your message to the real Satoshi? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5513753.0;all)

Good for you. Some of us unfortunately have not reached that point where we are financially stable enough. But my investment in bitcoin has given me confidence especially in times where the economy is crashing. It is good to know that I have somewhere I can protect my money in.

If I'm to write my testimony about bitcoin! I would be writing a 100 pages plus article.

I'm just a young kid with no clear vision of what life is, what to do etc fortunately found myself in bitcoin and now I'm on my path to financial freedom, privacy orientated already, paying for everything myself, now considering every money I make as a discretionary income, that's really something I'm grateful for.

I can't share my acquisitions from bitcoin but I'm making history in my family and internationally soon as long as bitcoin keeps paying for my projects.

Thanks to BTCitcoin, Satoshi and everyone who contributed and still contributing to the bitcoin community.

In as much as Bitcoin is still exiting, I am thankful of the technology and I have hope that if I keep accumulating from now till when Bitcoin will reach $500k, I will have my testimony to tell share. As price has reached $100k it really meant a lot of profit for so many investors especially those that have been investing since the past four or five years. I have not buy any notable Bitcoin but I know my portfolio will make more sense as I continue to accumulate till the next two bull season to come.
The only experience I had is to rejoice with my friends that have also made a huge profit from Bitcoin and have also helped to encourage me to keep buying.

Without Bitcoin, I would have been doing an 8 to 5 job today. Without Bitcoin, I couldn't have bought the properties I have today. Without Bitcoin, I wouldn't have as much savings as I have today. The lazy and carefree life I have today is given to me by Bitcoin. I can afford to bike for days on end thanks to Bitcoin.

But we couldn't tell. Without Bitcoin, I could have pursued a beautiful career. I could have risen up through the corporate ladder. I don't know. But I guess what they can't offer me is the degree of freedom and independence I'm enjoying now. Thanks, Bitcoin! Thanks, Satoshi!

Thank you for Satoshi Nakamoto for given a big chance for me to involve in Bitcoin. Without Bitcoin, I don't know what will happen to me but Bitcoin give a new way for me to earn money.

Besides earn money, I can have an investment for my future and that is Bitcoin. I never imagine Bitcoin hit more than $100k but that was really happened. I believe Bitcoin will not just hit that price but will hit the new highest price. Sky is the limit.

Many thanks for all people here who contribute many things, support each others, help us learn more about crypto. I can not say anymore but you are the best, guys. Once again, thank you Satoshi and Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin hadn't entered my life, I wouldn't have known what I would do. This is a fact, not a compliment. I was a full-time employee in my country, but my salary was only enough for a few days a month, and working overtime was difficult as a full-time employee.

My life was very difficult until I stumbled upon Bitcoin by chance. That's when my life began to change for the better. I was able to work from anywhere, and I even left my miserable job.

Bitcoin changed my life for the better and made it more convenient. So I say it from the bottom of my heart and with all sincerity: Thanks to BTCitcoin, Thanks to Satoshi.

But still, even average joe like us could put money and enjoy the profit. How many of us have invested on stocks before? I guess not that many. But with Bitcoin it's so easy and so we are exposed on financial literacy. And with that, we become more aware of how we should invest our money and then be a long term holder. Sooner or later we will all have that financial freedom that we all dream-off. Maybe some of us have bought houses or cars due to Bitcoin's profit. And so up to now, even though the market is currently bleeding, we will continue to go and invest and have that mental toughness to see what will happen till the end of the year, maybe we will see another parabolic rise and so it means that we're getting profits from months or years of us holding on our precious BTC.

Fear is temporary, BTC - it's eternal, and I am glad more and more people start to invest their time into it and why it is the truth.

started investing below $50k, invested till bitcoin got to $100k, and am still holding till now that bitcoin has gone down. am I regretting not selling at $100k? not at all. I feel every investor has his investment goal, which determines when he plans on selling. if $100k is what you decide as your exit point and you have accumulated enough that places you at a good point at the time bitcoin got to that point, then good for you and congratulations. but for me, I still see myself as someone that still has a long way to go.

Unfortunately, being late to the party kept me stuck with the old job I had and not being able to afford a massive change in my lifestyle, but, I am really happy with my life (the people that constitute it) and I am happy that humanity has found a solid system to fight for justice.

Until now, Bitcoin is all about learning for me. Coding, trying new things and experimenting with better money.

How many cycles would you like to scroll over before hitting the button to realize your PNL? ;)

Without bitcoin people wouldn't buy houses.
Without bitcoin people wouldn't have so much money
Without bitcoin people would probably be working all the time.

With bitcoin - people can buy their dream house.
With bitcoin - people can afford to buy what they want and not look at the price.
With bitcoin - people have started investing profitably in the long run.

And be thankful before it rises to $100K.
Thank you Satoshi for remaining a legend that people talk about.

Bitcoin at 100k is something I've been waiting for a long time. Frankly I'm not surprised. It could've gone higher, but there was a pullback. This is healthy, Bitcoin rises step by step over time. 100k price didn't affect me financially because I don't sell much. I'll continue to save more coins. I know it will go over 100k again, although I don't know the exact date. Nobody knows this but it's obvious that Bitcoin will rise again.

Bitcoin is one of the best coins in the crypto world. The world is now attracted to this Bitcoin. Although the price has decreased a lot since the beginning of this year. But that will never reduce the attraction of people. Due to economic pressure, the price of Bitcoin decreases a lot. But it cannot be said when the market will reach its previous level. But I hope Bitcoin will be able to reach 100k soon.

Congratulations to you! Some of us didn't get in that early but of recent though not that really recent but I can say am proud of the portfolio have been able to build right from when I took the decision to invest in bitcoin from what I earn in other businesses and from signature campaign.

At 100k I took some profits reinvest in other financial instruments as way of diversifying my investments but my major portfolio is in BTC. Am am grateful for a lot have achieved through this digital asset. A big thanks to Satoshi!

I understand how you feel at the moment of writing this post. Imagine looking back at where you came and see how far you have gone because of you getting interest in Bitcoin. It is something worth appreciating. You don't need to see the founder, the skeleton of how bitcoin operate to believe it is the future. Satoshi, Bitcoin and you all made it possible to what we are enjoying today.

The little i have been able to hold onto i will cherish while i keep getting some.

The journey of massive gain in Bitcoin is good when you are feeding on other source of income while leaving a savings in Bitcoin for as long as you want. It's never easy to profit much in Bitcoin if you are buying and also feeding off your bought Bitcoin.

At OP, if Bitcoin was your source of income only, then I think your testimony wouldn't be written down like this except you are a person that appreciate the little a lot.

I'm not making you feeling like you are wrong but that's my experience in this space :)

I have sold some coins at $100K although it was not much but we felt how the highest price we felt...before we did not expect but because we saw a lot of history before so we were sure bitcoin would be even higher.

And now the coin is declining...but we have started planning again to keep buying as the decline continues.

One more thing... because bitcoin now has expensive dream items thanks to selling bitcoin partially.

Bitcoin has a great potential and benefits for all who is ready to accept it and invest in it. If not for bitcoin, I wouldn't have been able to set up an investment by now, because of the poor economy and lack of job opportunities in my country. Bitcoin has given me another opportunity to transform my future into a better one without the government or anyone to control and threat me like shit.

I am very sure that all Bitcoin users in this great forum have enjoyed many great benefits that Bitcoin has created, including me, and I am very lucky to have known Bitcoin and to be here. If not, I would regret not being involved and being here and I am very grateful to some of my friends who brought me to this forum and involved with Bitcoin.

Because I really enjoy the many good benefits that I have done for my family, especially my parents and for my wife and children because they also feel the good benefits that I have generated from Bitcoin especially in terms of finance.

And the most memorable is, I can renovate my parents' house which previously had a lot of damage that had to be renovated and now it is much better and safer and they are also very happy. And besides that, the most memorable and unexpected thing is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5401052.0#msg60271061 and many other things that are all good because of Bitcoin so I will continue like this even more than that especially for my future which is much better. Thanks to some of my friends, Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto and also all of you because I learned a lot from all of you especially the seniors here.

 I agree with you on the no 8-5 jobs thanks to Bitcoin because it would have been hectic and based on where I come from, you'd stress for that period of time but the pay will not be equal to the effort.

Bitcoin has helped me achieve things that a normal salary will not have been able to cover in a long while and it has given me the chance to pursue my dreams and still be able to cater to the needs of my family. Bitcoin has got me living like a boss and I get to do things at my own time. Really, thank you Bitcoin and Satoshi for this brilliant innovation.

Those who should be thankful are the investors who has made lifetime profits with Bitcoin, i see users who have not experienced two complete cycles in full rendering so much thanks, can be thankful for the opportunity Bitcoin has offered but not your progress yet, there is still more to gain from Bitcoin and when that time comes i hope to remember returning here to give my appreciation.

Lol... This post is looking like you are saying a farewell to bitcoin. Like you have gotten all the cash out you want from bitcoin and it can plummet to the down on how much it desire. Anyway, you might have been lucky to fill your cup while the water was running, lucky you. Many other investors have not taken their profit target and are still hopeful to get to that destination they desire. However, it is unfortunate the way the price keeps dropping despite the US making positive adoption move on it. In few months time, we will know the exact position of the situation.

I may not have benefited a lot from Bitcoin like the big investors who's been gaining from it for over a decade but I'm still happy and thankful that I'm one of those who are current Beneficiaries of Satoshi Nakamoto's innovation. Coming from a country where you'll have to work your ass off to get less than $50 as minimum wage, Bitcoin have helped me to achieve financially stability. I'm absolutely thankful to everyone who made this project a reality

Thanks Satoshi for giving us a clear vision of thinking great that our future is bright. I don't know what my life would have become without Bitcoin. Bitcoin is part of my success story; I can't stop accumulating and trusting her for my future assets over my country's fiat, which tends to lose value in years to come.

Bitcoin is a currency that gives us complete financial freedom and is able to provide us with a lot of financial support. Because it is almost impossible to escape the inflation of fiat money unless you invest in currencies like gold, land or Bitcoin. Since gold and land are physical assets, trading them is time-consuming and a lot of trouble. But digital currencies like Bitcoin can be bought and sold instantly without any hassle. So Bitcoin has made our financial life easier and more secure. Really, thank you very much to Satoshi, the founder of Bitcoin.

I don't think anyone involved in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at present wouldn't be thankful to the people who started it all, such as Satoshi, Hal, and a few more names involved in the initial development and everything of Bitcoin and of course, this forum. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies gave a lot of us purpose in life, maybe, if it wasn't for Bitcoin, many of us would have been lost somewhere in between a 9 to 5 job and having no extra activity or anything to look for but Bitcoin gave us the opportunity to at least do something more in life.

That being said, if we talk about $100k, I actually made a mistake that I didn't take profit and now that I've seen the price going down to $74k, I regret doing that because if I had taken profit then, I could buy again now and have some more profit. I do believe in holding for long term, but I think it's better to take profit, and then buy again when you get a good price.

Without Bitcoin, I may not even know there are beautiful people in other part of the world I can  engage because of Bitcoin, I don't have any forum account other Bitcointalk and the forum exist purposely because of Bitcoin, Satoshi made the dream and we now leave it interacting with one another. Other than that, I have never made any international transaction in any currency or bought something online from other countries but Bitcoin has made that possible.

I have my work that I do but I have always dream to work online, I have some accounts that I created in 2010 with some gigs platform but the payment method were headache, my country wasn't allow to accept payment but can send and to get gigs becomes almost difficult to get but today, unless I you are not on the surface of the earth, I have done some task online and have earned money through Bitcoin including this forum, only Bitcoin can make this comes to reality.

I am sharing my experience of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 and my experience of being in Bitcoin. First of all, I would like to say that I am very happy to be able to participate in Bitcoin because if Bitcoin did not exist and if I did not know about Bitcoin, maybe I would not be able to enjoy such a beautiful life today. Before I came to Bitcoin, I was sitting unemployed, I had no job, by entering Bitcoin, I freed my unemployed life and am managing my family beautifully.

When Bitcoin reached $100,000 I was very happy because Bitcoin reached its all-time high and I got a lot of success by investing there. I had a lot of fun with my family and let my whole family enjoy this joy. Thanks to the creator of Bitcoin, thanks to the creator of Bitcoin Forum, because of them I am jobless today.

Well I really cannot start explaining everything Bitcoin has done for me because I wouldn’t even know wheee to start or where to end, all I can say is that, knowing and understanding Bitcoin has really changed my life (for the better), my ideas and perspective on matter that concerns finance, economics and investments.

I got into the crypto space through shitcoin investment/trading, because my thought then was like “Heyy… Bitcoin’s too expensive and I can’t afford it, so I’ll rather go for coins with lesser value and price, and maybe I’d be lucky to enough to invest in the next Bitcoin” but that wasn’t the case because I had my own share of losses while trading and HODLing shitcoins. But when I got to really understand Bitcoin, Thanks to @JayJuanGee for his amazing strategic insights and approach to Bitcoin investments, I got to learn more and really understood how Bitcoin really works.

Although, I’m really not yet where I dream of being, but I’m happy to say that I’ve made some crazy ass progress and I know that all that is required for me to get there is consistency, patience, determination and discipline. And surely, I’ll get there. I’m also grateful to the community, it was an honor starting my crypto journey, as well as my digital exploration here. I couldn’t have wished to be part of any other community.

Considering the impact of the ETF and Bitcoin reserve policy, I also expected the price to go far beyond $100,000. But some factors which include this tariff war had adverse effects on the market.  Bitcoin has started picking up again and hopefully it will hit another ATH this year.

I have plans to sell some of my hodling to achieve the agelong dream of owning my own house. I appreciate the founder of Bitcoin for giving everyone free access to this opportunity regardless of religion, race and colour. 

Yeah we're confident after last year's ETF approval sent bitcoin soaring... plus Trump's campaign in favor of bitcoin makes us optimistic over $100K.

Trump's policy of making high tariffs to many countries does have a bad impact which eventually becomes a global trade war.
But I see bitcoin back above $80K.

Make your dreams come true my friend!!! I think selling some of that bitcoin makes you happier because you can buy your own house. ;)
And that's what we like about Bitcoin, everyone or anything is free to own it.

Bitcoin has become a trusted name in many people's lives, due to which I have gained a lot of financial freedom by investing in Bitcoin and getting acquainted with it. Although Bitcoin is not yet allowed in my country, I am still associated with Bitcoin and I have benefited financially from it. If I had not been associated with Bitcoin, I might have had to do some work or job in my country, and I would have been controlled here. If I had not invested in Bitcoin, I would not have gained financial freedom, I have benefited a lot by being associated with Bitcoin and it is ready to give me some better opportunities in the future.

The same as yours, OP, I wouldn't redeem my life from the tough corporate world where politics is too much. It's a different culture in the office; even if you're the best performer, you won't be recognized unless you're tailing the bosses. And so with Bitcoin, that investment that has grown a lot, made me comfortable that I can do things at my own pace without having to worry about deadlines. Like the rich people have, just as you, Bitcoin has also given me the time freedom to do whatever I can. I think all of us that have held BTC from the very start until now, we're all grateful to satoshi, hal and all of the early contributors of Bitcoin and up to this date, to the most active ones and of course, this community. <3

Whenever we do have that positive news then it will be always having that adverse or opposite thing to happen on which those negative news and its not something new. When that ETF had that the main talks then after approval we had been able to experience some surge of price on which we can be able to say that it was the reason on why the price had shoot up and with that US election then it did make out some effect somehow. $100k experience? I have sold a little part of my bag and made out some considerable profits and have some reserved stable coins for dca on which it did come into a point when the price dipped at 74 and now the price is starting up to recover and now its all green on which this had been the basic buy low sell high thing.  :D

You just reminded me of the unpleasant past thought of Bitcoin. I would have been one of the early adopters if I had known it. It wasn't known in my country until around 2013 or thereabout, though the price was still cheap then, I was just buying and selling it to fund my Forex accounts and to withdraw the same. I feel sad when I see the huge amount that I transcated in more than 8 years before I started buying to HODL in 2022.

It's not too late to have a taste of the world cake bright by Bitcoin, but no one should tell me that the opportunity missed when I should have bought it at a lower price than $100 can be regained again.

Bitcoin is a life changing source of financial opportunity with a long term potential values to sustain good life at retirement age.
The perspective of having bitcoin and holding on self custodial and the curious advice of staying anonymous with your bitcoin while growing in rich has so much self control of oneself to stay safe, growing income portfolio secretly and has also had the optimism to educate oneself on diversification of assets and as well ignites good financial managements.
Indeed bitcoin is worth having with it's easy accessibilities as a digital asset.
That's so far bitcoin had been effective to my life and I hope to explore more in the future as I expands my portfolio.

Well $100,000 per Bitcoin made me very happy but it’s just the start of mainstream global adoption. I think $100,000 will be reclaimed later this year & maybe even a push towards near $200,000 as the year ends. I am also grateful for everything that has been provided to me by my luck at finding Bitcoin relatively early. Everybody in this industry deserves their flowers. We are the new era of investors.

Maybe most of us would live our lives as usual without bitcoin and would also make some adjustments to earn money in other sectors. What is interesting is that with the presence of bitcoin we can achieve financial freedom without anyone knowing. We can say something to thank Satoshi because the innovation he made gave great hope to everyone now.

With bitcoin I am better for financial matters now because I am much more able to control the source of income in investments. With the ability to maintain value, bitcoin is one of the best ways to protect the money we have during inflation or recession.

More to come, basically - we ain't stopping yet, the cycle is still going strong and won't be engulfed by the Bear (just yet ;D).

First thanks to Satoshi the developer of Bitcoin.
Secondly kudos to the entire Bitcoin communities who had effortlessly contributed to obtainable success of Bitcoin as it is today.

Thanks to the critics of Bitcoin too because as it is that negative informations flies faster than positive informations, their criticisms on Bitcoin has also contributed to the wide spread of Bitcoin awarenesses despites their wrong informations of the financial system, every well self thought of individuals has come to understand that the government are only want to rule and control every potential values which thereby, every financial freedom fighters had taken stands on the actions of the governments in a second thought finding a cause of regulatory resistance of Bitcoin to be why the governments are against it.

Most thankfully to the cryptography which I am able to navigate my transactions, portfolios and my identity on my own custodial.

I duly appreciates Bitcoin to had exposed me more to digitization of holding my assets conveniently in the technology as Blockchain.
Thanks Bitcoin for the financial technological education and financial freedom

The presence of bitcoin has opened up opportunities for us, especially for me, to have financial freedom and indirectly I can control my own source of income because it is undeniable that I am addicted to this asset, I remember before I first knew this asset I didn't believe enough to invest some of my income in other assets that I did only invest in gold and land other than that like stocks and bonds, in-depth research is needed for me but with bitcoin I feel it is quite simple to learn it. Satoshi has provided a new innovation even though bitcoin was originally created not for investment but now bitcoin is a promising investment asset.

I can feel brain cancer developing when reading such a cringeworthy post.

/Over&Out.

Threads like this are always welcoming and encouraging especially for folks who weren’t consistent with their Bitcoin investment from the start (myself included).
It’s always good to see eye-openers like this, with people showing that success is actually very possible.

We hope to create our own similar threads once we hit that benchmark too.
In the meantime, congratulations to everyone who has achieved so much through Bitcoin and this forum as well!

Almost everyone who is touched by bitcoin investment experiences the ease of achieving financial freedom and that is if done correctly. The innovation created by Satoshi Nakamoto does provide certainty for someone in changing their fate for the better for financial matters. You and I are small examples that may have benefited from bitcoin because in such a long context we learn to take advantage of opportunities to achieve a better stage of financial freedom.

We should give appreciation because even though some people say it is too much, for me bitcoin is quite meaningful as an effort to change fate for the better. Without us realizing it, Bitcoin has changed our lives for the better, where previously it was quite difficult to maintain the value of the currency we owned due to the value factor that continued to be lost due to inflation and recession.

I have not been involved in Bitcoin for very long, I have been involved in Bitcoin for less than a year. Although I have been involved in Bitcoin for some time, I have been able to earn Bitcoin from the Bitcoin forum. Also, I will never talk about the role of Bitcoin in my life because Bitcoin is fulfilling many of my needs at the moment. When I reached 100k dollars, I could not enjoy any joy there because I did not have any Bitcoin to hold. Even though I did not have any Bitcoin, the increase in the price of Bitcoin made me very happy because reaching 100k is a joy for everyone. However, if Bitcoin reaches 100k dollars again, I will be very happy and share the joy with my family.

I have learned a lot from Bitcoin, Bitcoin has given me a lot. Especially online confidence and Bitcoin has been in trust for a long time and I have been very successful by investing here. Where I would not have achieved as much success by working hard in real life as I have achieved from Bitcoin. But I liked it the most and I got a big update this year, the price of Bitcoin has transformed from 5 digits to 6 digits.
 Investing in Bitcoin has made me spend time with joy and I have gained a lot of joy in my life that I would not have achieved by working hard in real life. Thank you Satoshi, thank you to all the members of Bitcoin.

Nice words BitcoinGirl, i think bitcoin chage the life of most users on this forum, personal y the best thing that bitcoin leave to me wasn't money it was knowledge, i’m fan of the complex topics, and bitcoin wasn't easy to understand, but once o get it i really fall in love with it.

So, thanks to nakamoto and to this beauty community for sharing all this knowledge.

My first time of witnessing an assset I first saw the price around $750-$900 hit $100k for the first time,  incredible. I was filled with a total joy not that Bitcoin reached $100k but all my portfolios was also on green, chilled out with some Bitcoin enthusiasts that are my friends and we shared our experience with and how sime of us reluctantly started our Bitcoin investment journey and were are present. It was indeed an amazing day as we saw Bitcoin worth 100k for the first time ever.

$100,000 was a nice ride on many bitcoin holders because this came more earlier than expected, but it was indeed a remarkable experience for those that have been waiting patiently enough to seeing it come to pass, nevertheless, we also should reckon with those that have not made it to profit this season for one reason or the other when the market hit $100k opportunities with bitcoin is an unending one and we can still meetup with the subsequent ones coming.

I also see this as an avenue whereby all of us can communicate our various ideas and share experience form what we have been through and that is the same idea behind the creation of this forum.

That's good question that made me to think for some time. I'm wondering how Bitcoin has changed my life. I didn't quite my regular job. I just don't want to depend on crypto only. It's good to have guaranteed stable income, even if it's nothing special. And also, therecis various regulations, paperwork that make it more difficult.
But Bitcoin changed my life. Not that I bought fancy house or expensive car. Now I simply can live without thinking that much about money. When I need or want to buy something urgently, I don't have to think about whether I can afford to buy it or not. With money just from regular job it would be more difficult. I would have to always follow my bank account ballance.
And big factor is that I started everything without putting my own capital. I haven't bought much crypto, most of BTC that I have were earned in various ways. And no, trading isn't for me. So, I don't have to worry that much about prices going up and down.

Everyone got excited and happy when bitcoin reached $100K, glad to see that many people took profit at that point, mostly it could be those that have a large stash of them and holding for four years or more now. That price actually looks very enticing not to take some profits. It will really benefits the long term holders more who most have made more than 100% in profits of their investment when the price got to $100K. Now, more higher price are anticipated for bitcoin, it is just a matter of time before it gets there as no one can predict actually what the next big price will be. Many who had taken profits may not be waiting for any bull run again, if it comes, fine; and if it doesn’t, they continue holding till another cycle.

so far its only been pain !

Bitcoin is an excellent teacher, it taught me to be patient, to be consistent and most importantly it forced me to study it and understand what it is... all of this took a long time, but today I see that it was one of the best things that happened in my life... and seeing Bitcoin reach 100 thousand dollars was truly incredible, and it doesn't stop there, soon it will reach 150, 200 thousand... 1 million, because that's the natural path of things.

Always pain because you bought at $100k or always pain because you don't see the price going above $100k or all pained because of how unstable the price has been for the past few months.

Whichever among those is the case, I don't consider it to still be all pained. The $100k experience didn't serve as many expected, but it was a great one and was worth the experience, and we are going to get back to that level sooner or later.

It cannot be denied that the $100k that we have always talked about even since 2022 which became a reality this year provides a very good excitement for most people who are in bitcoin including myself.
Although for profit taking I still postpone it because my goal is not for now but it does not make the euphoria just stop.

Currently I am still in advanced collection because my target is still not here, although I am happy with $100k but I don't want to take advantage for now because I am still in the collection phase. Right now the momentum is still building even if we end up having another correction like what's happening right now but I don't feel that my decision not to take advantage is the wrong thing to do because at the end of the day my commitment remains the same as before. Not that I don't want to get out of bitcoin but in the end there is a closer goal that I can take later and it's not for now.

Bitcoin crossing $100k was my goal. It was finally reached and I've taken advantage. If it didn't reach $100k, I may not reach my goal and I can't satisfy my family. Sure, Bitcoin is a part of my life for some years, it has a very important role in my small family. It is quite difficult to describe my life without Bitcoin, it enables me and my small family to have a dream for the future. Simply, Bitcoin is a power, dream, hope, and freedom..

*Thanks Satoshi and crypto ecosystem

Bitcoin is always profitable but is for the people who know what cryptocurrency is . I saw many people who don't know about cryptocurrency but they invested in that and they feared when market is not doing well and they lost money in that . There are thousands of people who are Investing money in BTC and they have firm believe on that because they invested for many times and got profit many times. Patient people could be rich people in future and greedy people will lose everything in their life because they will keep their all eggs in one basket and they will lose most of money and they don't know how to invest money in that . When they will learn more ,then there will be big change in their income.

I also love reading these stories, I once read on the wall observer topic about a user who managed to change apartments, jobs... another bought a lake... another bought a 4x4 car that he dreamed of having... bitcoin is that... achieving things that a person would never dream of achieving in a common journey... not to mention the change in mentality that it brings you... it's just benefits... I think everyone who knows it can consider a life before and after bitcoin... everything changes... not only financially.

In addition, those who locked in profits at Bitcoin's price of $100K or even more (I personally sold small amounts and a bit more expensive), will be able to reinvest some of their free funds in Bitcoin during the correction, or wait for a full-fledged bear cycle and then buy Bitcoin in full. And those who did not manage to record $100K profit can wait for even greater heights in the future. And perhaps in some time a forum thread will be created in which Bitcoin holders will thank Satoshi Nakamoto for the technology that allowed BTC to eventually reach $200K. And more to come, as they say, there is no limit to perfection. 

Bitcoin at 100k was great, and even though it didn't stay at that price for long (after all, it was all based on expectations of a new crypto time under Trump's leadership), it's still cool. 100k is an incredibly strong mark and to be honest, I don't know when we'll be there again. The thing is, the expectations were really strong, we were waiting for new times, but we didn't get them.
And we continue to be inundated with disappointing news, which is why the crypto community decided that the price of 80k is a better fit for the outcome of this situation. Probably, the Bitcoin price will return to 100k again when we see very positive actions from the US President that will be clearly interpreted as leading us to a free and problem-free crypto future.

For those feeling the pain rn relax. This is just another buying opportunity that separates the paper hands from the future whales. If you've been in crypto long enough, you know the drill: stake, accumulate, and chill.

Agreed!

Panic is the last thing the market truly appreciates - it won't be worth it, especially if you just hodl your BTC gently through these times.

I hope everyone who is a bitcoin hodler for many years should have had positive experiences. But there are also negative ones, scams or investments in coins that should not have been made. Bitcoin will be a long-term success if everything continues as it has in the past. And i not forget how much good you can we do with bitcoin. I have donated coins that are now worth a lot more. That wouldnt work with FIAT, it is sure to lose its value.

Thank you Bitcoin and thank you to everyone who believes in it.

BTC is there to stay, as well as fiat, but: BTC is appreciated with time due to its scarcity, whereas fiat - it only falls in value, so I definitely agree with you.

I didn't get much profit from Bitcoin as I didn't have enough money to invest, but still changed my life for the better thanks to other cryptocurrencies later on. My introduction to the world of cryptocurrencies started with Ethreum, Bitcoin and this forum. If Satoshi Nakamoto hadn't created Bitcoin, I probably wouldn't have everything I have now. So I am also very grateful to everyone involved in the creation of Bitcoin and this forum.

Firstly the $100k price mark was a milestone not only for me, also for many other bitcoiners, it was like a prophecy that came to pass. I wouldn't say that I can't be anything without Bitcoin because there are many fulfilled and successful people who are not into Bitcoin investment. But I'm happy and fulfilled being a part of the Bitcoin community and knowing the many benefits that comes with holding it. Bitcoin has changed the narrative that a currency must be owned by a government, I never imagined that there can be a decentralized digital currency. When you hold Bitcoin, you're not only holding a decentralized cash, you're also holding an asset that is a store of value.

Thank you Satoshi. You gave us the way to have a new investment type and a new way for the payment system (although that is not happen yet). Many of us get the benefit of Bitcoin and earn money from Bitcoin and more people will get the same thing.

Many people can have a better life because of Bitcoin. They used Bitcoin for the investment and stick to buy and hodl Bitcoin for one or two cycle and boom, they sell Bitcoin and make a lot of money.

Keep it coming, bud! You got the fundamentals and much more, and you are ready to push forward. It's very sweet to read such posts from everybody involved.

I discovered Bitcoin in 2014, and at the time I didn't believe in Bitcoin's potential, and today I'm without Bitcoin and poor. If Satoshi sees this message, contact me via PM to donate some Bitcoin.

A true bitcoiner will enjoy bitcoin when they see it as a lifestyle and not a speculative assets. If bitcoin dips, you continue to buy with joy, when it rises you take partial profits and continue your life. Making sure you own a piece of bitcoin at everytime is a blessing.

Time might come when it will be so difficult to own a bitcoin. Let's be happy and enjoy bitcoin while it lasts.

I love it! Bitcoin has definitely opened up some different avenues for me but its mainly a hobby and a nest egg that I hope one day I can use to pay off my house and perhaps help me gain more freedom. As I continue on my own bitcoin journey and faced with difficult times financially I find that its especially hard to hold onto it now and not having to use my coin to help provide whether that is paying the mortage or bills or simply covering anything that pops up that is an absolute need. This is somethiung I wrestle with almost every day and I hope and pray that one day I don't have to worry about these things. I get creative finding other way to sell things and make money doing other jobs to avoid selling Bitcoin but i'm not going to lie I have had to sell more that i'd like to admit to fulfil my role as provider and putting my family first. Bitcoin to me gives me hope, it gives me something to hold onto and I mean literally HODL all while having to fend off my wife and family every time there is a dip. Shit man been holding on since late 2017 and its made me strong!

When Bitcoin touched $100k, I had a different feeling, but unfortunately, I bought some Bitcoin after touching $100k, which is still at my loss. However, I am optimistic, although the time to buy Bitcoin was after it was over $100k, I decided to hold it for the long term. Bitcoin is affecting our lives in such a way that we cannot stop using it even if we wanted to. It is flowing in our blood and the influence of Bitcoin is becoming more and more evident as we go through the day. At some point, we cannot imagine a single moment without Bitcoin.

Did you buy all your bitcoin above 100k dollars? Don't you usually do the average price strategy? DCA? It's the best one there is, just buy every week and nothing else... but don't worry, soon bitcoin will rise to infinity, because inflation is out of control and the printing of money is a never-ending cycle.

The only smart thing to do now is to keep buying and holding especially now the price has dropped to the range of $84k, but still buying at $100k ain’t bad too because everytime is the right time to buy bitcoin , because surely is going to hit a new ATH , is only time it will take .

Like me I haven’t gotten to the point of having enough bitcoin so am still at my accumulation phase and I thank God for how far have come , and also thanks to satoshi for creating something this beautiful ( BTC)

Current price is surely gift for peoples those are looking for investment in bitcoin because It's going to be had big moved in near future which will bring good hype then many are going to think about this missed opportunity.
If anyone can afford then surely he can go with his desired amount of investment and just do which he can afford because mostly peoples jump without any strategy and work which give them problems or have issues $100K is on cards in 2025 with after these chances are high this is going to be more flexible because now bearers are going to be cut.
Peoples like me those were suffering with many problems around and never been able to have independence in investments and savings are surely feeling great with this bitcoin and doing things which were never been possible before this bitcoin is the biggest blessing for financial sector.

Bitcoin would rise again, it always has gone up during bull runs and I'm still optimistic that the bull run proper is still coming and I wait patiently. $100k is still very much achievable in this bull run, If Trump had not flexed his muscles with his tariff bullshit, we could've been moving higher and be considering $100k a dip as at now.

Bitcoin is the future, I may not have much now, but I'm accumulating and still have my hopes high that I would secure some good riches in bitcoin since I'm ready to go long-term into it.

Well, although holding is still very worth it to do until now, it cannot be denied that everyone has their own goals and not a few people secure profits at this $ 100k price because their goal is here so I think it doesn't matter when someone releases their bitcoin as long as it is still profitable at $ 100k or still holds it until their goal is achieved because after all everyone has their own choices and we cannot force or expect them to keep holding their bitcoin when their goal has been achieved.

I still hold my bitcoin until now and I personally have no problem for others who release it because we will not be in bitcoin forever and everyone has their own goals to stop and take profits. As long as it is still profitable regardless of where they exit, then it doesn't matter, only what must be realized is that when you release the bitcoin you have, it is no longer in your control.

You are still collecting Bitcoin right now, and so are many others. You don't have to be afraid of being late with the $100k that has been achieved, because even though we are in a downturn, we will see it again.
Honestly, I never thought Bitcoin would reach $100k when I first started collecting my Bitcoin. I sold it several times and then collected it again. The journey is not easy to maintain the Bitcoin that we have, there are times when we will think about selling it and then collecting it again.
Don't forget to enjoy what you can achieve with the Bitcoin you collect.

I believed it was going to happen, but I'm still sad because I had only a few sats. I wish I could have saved more Bitcoin. I will keep saving from now on because I know we will see 100k and above again. We all need to be prepared for this.
Those who have been on the forum from the very beginning and believe this are the ones who really have the most to gain. Some things are easy to talk about after they happen. But predicting it before it happens and sticking to a plan is the hard part.

Without Bitcoin I wouldn't be living the comfortable life that I'm presently living. I haven't achieve all I want in life or have gotten to the stage that I look forward to getting to but my present living style is better than how I was before I knew about Bitcoin. The forum has also contributed to this success and without Bitcoin, this forum won't had existed. When Bitcoin last got to $100k, it was a thing of joy for me because it was one of the milestones that I witnessed as I wasn't around to witness other milestones that meant so much to the community and Bitcoin lover. I wish to be around for when more milestones will be reached and I'm presently trying all my best to accumulate the little that I can and not overstressed myself with goals that I can't achieve.

Thank you for the good! I am truly sincerely very happy for you. I wish you a free happy life! Thank you bitcoin  :-*

I'm still new in this space and I don't have much experience but from the testimonies I've seen from forum users I'm optimistic about my future as long as Bitcoin still exists and as long as I remain a member of this great community and still follow the right path in investing.

With Bitcoin I will build a house.
With Bitcoin I will buy a car.
With Bitcoin I will provide for my family.
With Bitcoin I will go international.
With Bitcoin I will Excel.
With Bitcoin I will make cool connections (friends)
With Bitcoin I will make history.
Bitcoin isn't paying my bills now but I'm working on changing that because I am an investor.

Thank you Satoshi for this gift and if you are still in this community I wish you happiness because you have made many of us happy and I hope you are alive and safe. A big shout-out to my mentor for introducing me to this forum.

When you did comment to have been late to the party, it got me curious to see just how late you were and imagine my surprise that, someone I hold in high esteem for your technical knowledge arrived here in 2023, that’s over 2years ago if it’s even up to that.

I would have said I envy for the knowledge you’ve acquired on Bitcoin in such a short time but, knowledge is something that anyone can put themselves through and get that too. That’s just how you can be a motivation to the rest of us seeking it, trying to have these technicalities of what Bitcoin is truly about.

I know it takes time and dedication and I’m sure we are going to get there someday.

It may be that those who have hold Bitcoin for many years are enjoying the true benefits of the investment. To be honest, after joining the crypto ecosystem, I saw that the price of Bitcoin was around $39K, from there Bitcoin's progress will surpass even our imagination. The experience of hitting $100k was a different experience, as it was the highest point I had initially imagined for the price of Bitcoin. My goal is to buy Bitcoin regularly to accumulate more Bitcoins, using that it may be possible to reach the highest level of fulfilling my dreams. If Bitcoin investing is possible properly, maybe everyone will be able to fulfill their dreams and hobbies.

Great roadmap of sorts to follow.

I may think to make something like you told yourself, but indeed, with BTC, so many options open up, it's not even close to what others may provide as well.
