An ATH here.
Another ATH there.
Chopper's in the air!

#happyhaiku
I believe before tomorrow we would definitely have another ATH, and of course we will keep experience more ATH.
Before this month ends, that is, In the Next 9-10 days coming we may possibly  see it at 125-130k.

ATH in the BTCTC pizza day seems awesome and poetic.
Someone says is Laszlo Hanyecz putting more orders to buy more BTC who is pushing the price upwards.  Grin Cheesy Grin
I tend to be more specific than that kind of a presentation.
120.000 just crossing the street. We can already see the 150k Avenue.  Grin And not so much behind i can see some trees from the 200k Central Park.

I dont have the better eyesight, can anyone depict what is that tower i just see in the horizon?
Well, there is ongoing buying too, especially for anyone in their first whole cycle.  I have a hard time imagining guys with less than 4 years having had already reached overaccumulation status, including you Volgastallion.. you have ONLY been registered on the forum for a bit less than 2.5 years, so keeping on buying seems to be amongst the better of practices.
It was hard to quote.

Thank you JJG and yes, im "new" and i try to buy everytime i can and also share with people here in the forum for example making this kind of contest. At today money is more than 1000 usd, and maybe in a few years some people is gonna see that and said "what look how much was at this easy and simple contest in this forum" and maybe im gonna regret dont having that 10mbtc, but at the same time im gonna feel like i made communitty and in someway i help to the adoption of BTC.

For sure, many of us realize that it will be difficult to replicate the level of bitcoin's past price performance, especially the exponential nature of it in terms of percentage moves upward in relatively short periods of time, even though surely bitcoin's addressable market likely allows for another 10,000x or so in its price performance, even if it could take 50-200 years or longer to get to such fair market price levels.

In other words, in the meantime, it is likely good to keep on stacking bitcoin on a weekly basis if possible and also to whatever level of aggressiveness that you are capable of doing based on your discretionary income and other personal factors.

Each of us can ONLY start from wherever we are at and what we have, and surely sometimes there can be abilities to increase discretionary income by increasing income and/or cutting expenses, and so each of us is in a position to assess the extent to which we might be able to reasonably increase our discretionary income, that then allows us an ability to buy more bitcoin.



I will suggest that I don't really like it, since reality is better than exaggerating.. so I don't really like exaggerating.

A pizza in 2010 might have had been around $10.. but today in 2025, a similar pizza is probably around $30... so we know that with BTC prices today around $111,500, then 1 bitcoin would get us around 3,716 Pizzas... so that is already a greatly dramatic comparison point between 2010 and 2025 in and of itself.

Yeah, probably we could reasonably expect that in a 2-6 years we might be able to get 10x (which would be 37,160 pizzas) or even 20x to 50x (which would be 74,333 to 185,800 pizzas) to 100x (which would be 371,600 pizzas) or more pizzas with the same one bitcoin.




I did the same without much publicity  Cheesy
Y'all are mean. I was considering being with the guy, but I don't know what that means.
🤣

His point was not bad in the referred to post, even though his style was a bit turn-off-ish.

we breached 111,000
nice.
Don't sell nor buy just Enjoy this moment. Bitcoin will be breaching 150k very soon.

If you are directing your comment at Phil, then you are speaking to a brick-like wall.  He cannot help his lil selfie to sell as soon as he sees some quantifiable level of appreciation..

That's why, even after being in bitcoin for more than 13 years, he hardly has any cornz relative to his time in service and how much time he has dedicated to bitcoin.  Sure, he has made profits over the years, but peanuts relatively speaking, especially as compared with an investing and/or HODLing approach.  

In other words, he still hasn't figured out:

1) how to accumulate bitcoin and to get himself to an actual overaccumulation status by focusing on bitcoin accumulation through buying,
and/or
2) how to stop himself from selling too much cornz too soon..  It is not good to be selling cornz prior to reaching an overaccumulation state, since that would be deemed as trading rather than investing.

It's annoying to look at substantial buys that trigger a ton of sells as soon as barely touching $112k right now.
A bit more momentum and shorts would be eaten up in a short while.

Yeah, I had heard that there were quite a few shorts in the $109k to $112k price arena, and likely a lot of them will get wrecked if they do not close their positions, but still none of them want to close at a loss, either.. so perhaps they are serving as part of the fuel for our ongoing UPpity pressures.

Everyone, since I'm going entirely bonkers, it's hard to know if the things I see are just my crazy imagination or actually happening. Can anyone help me with this one?

Is that a picture of the future president of Ireland, Conor McGregor, strutting around in a boxing ring promising to put Bitcoin on Ireland's balance sheet or no? It's just blank... or a cat picture... or something?

Honestly, I think our alien simulation overlords are just f&#king with us at this point. I suppose I'm down for it.

Yeah, you are not actually going crazy. McGregor has come out swinging (as always.. Cheesy), saying he is running for president of Ireland & want to adopt Bitcoin on country's balance sheet. what a wild, right?

He said the holy grail is to give power back to the civil's money, pushing the concept of a national Bitcoin reserve as part of his campaign. So some folk are pumped, some are skeptical.. but one thing is for sure he is got everyone talking  Grin

Whether he is seriously aiming for office or just making a big bold statement, it shows just how far Bitcoin has come. It is not just for tech geeks anymore, it is in politics, in the spotlight, and apparently, even in the octagon.. lol

So yeah, you are definitely seeing this right. We are all just strapped in for the ride at this point Smiley

Question is..why there are those "weak hands" at a seemingly irrelevant value of 111K? A rhetorical question.
My "proposed" local top of, hopefully 216K, might occur if and when MSTR joins SP500, which could be in September.
Interestingly, there was a local top (the first in the double hump in 2021) when Coinbase IPOed.
Some people started talking about $444-475K (or 0.444-475M  Grin ), but for now this seem a bit excessively optimistic.

Well we went under 109 k from jan 20 until a day or two ago.

111k is clearly better than 109k

and they got in at 74k on the correction a month or so ago they are now up exactly 50%

1.5 x 74 =111  so my guess is they are simply taking profits from the dip buy.

if they grabbed 10 coins at 74k they paid 740k if they cash 8 of them they get 888k  and now have 2 free BTC plus a few worthless dollars after taxes.

Say 30k cash after tax and 2 coins.


They can now wait for a dip to get more.

Or hodl the 2 "free" coins and wait for price to go way up say 250 a coin.

It is hard to turn down sure winning moves if they arise.

Not a winning move, imho, as it is very short-sighted.

but it is not certain.

what I described is a certain win

with all taxes paid
30k cash
2 btc

for letting the 740k purchase made a month ago ride for 30-40 days.

so in addition to the profits above

you also have you complete investment starter money of 740k sitting where ever.

Many players make this type of move 1 or 2 times a year if they can.

It is safer and is a certain win

They can do whatever they want with the 30 cash and the 740k cash principal.

Just ordered a couple of large Papa John's pizzas.  Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!

NB. I'm paying with dirty fiat rather than bitcoin

edit:  They have arrived!  Delivery and tip included (and I also got 10 wings), I could have done this 23,393,939 times for 10,000 BTC today.  Wow!

They can do whatever they want with the 30 cash and the 740k cash principal.

I am not clear on your math and tactics.

In your scenario, they would have short term cap gains of 888-740=148K. Even if you pay 50% tax (which could be the number in NY and NJ), it is still 74K in after tax profit, not 30K.
Additionally, this scenario is kind of backward looking: if someone had the guts to buy the dip at 74K and with gusto (740K), I would assume that they would go for something more substantial than 50% (especially during the last year of a bull market). You call the trade "safe", but it is that ONLY because you know the current price of 111K and nothing else. It was certainly not safe at 74K.

That said, it could (underlying the possibility) be a good trade IF we would have a dip to, say, 85K or so soon.
Personally, I try to avoid trades like this, or at least make them very small and doing them just for "fun".

How can be someone so cold minded to catch a falling knife, sell when things are going to be so parabolic?
Can it be the same person?

Well he or she may formula move wealth.

And the 30,000 cash after tax with 2 coin profit works.

Remember this person would still have the 740k original wealth

And 222k in coins and 30k in cash.

So 740k in to 740k plus 222k in coins plus 30k in cash and tax,bill paid is huge.

For traditional investment.

If you did this over and over every forty days and made same profits time after time you would be a solid broker-money manager.

Dca and hodl is preached a lot here for a person making his own picks it is good.

But many people go to a broker manager and they shift funds like mad.

during the internet craze in the nineties I watched friends with 2 and 3 million dollar funds that they did nothing they just let the managers Make the moves.

We’re proud to announce that Bitstamp Europe S.A. received a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license approval under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.

......

As part of MiCA framework, the Travel Rule is now in effect. Starting today, you’ll notice the following changes when depositing and withdrawing on the Bitstamp web platform, mobile app, or via API:

For all crypto transfers: You must provide counterparty information and determine whether the address is self-custody or hosted by an exchange.

For all crypto transfers over €1,000 to self-custody wallets you own: A one-time ownership verification is required to confirm that you control the address.
