Bitcoins - about to hit $5,000 per coin today!

I lost life changing amounts of money due to brazen greed, hubris, and sheer stupidity on alt coin rugs. The only thing that keeps me from jumping off a cliff is that gib could be right and bitcoin will go to a million. The 1 (one) bitcoin I have may therefore one day make me whole again.

In before (accurate and deserved) sentiments in the replies such as
-Very sad and many such cases
-another pleb rekt to Gehenna, bypassing Sheol in one fell swoop
-no crying in the casino
-thanks for your sacrifice on the altar of our success
-get fuckt maggot and die

Anyway, it ain't over yet, the sun is still shining...

Sorry to hear that bud - I did warn, and have said many time, every cycle these lessons are learned. There is no reliable short cut to acquiring more BTC. "Alts" can be printed out of thin air, and this is exactly the same problem that exists with fiat currencies. BTC was created as the solution against this problem. Alts are just as trick to get you to part with your BTC.

Hold that 1 BTC you have. Never ever let if fall into more powerful hands. You will be in an amazing position in the world if you remain a whole coiner. That level of control over the economic energy represented by a single coin, will provide you significant power and security in the years ahead.

Thanks. What are your views on methods of custody? Many are against keeping it on exchange but keeping it offline also comes with its own set of risks

Very well done. Hard to know what price hits when, you picked it.

What do you think for 2026 in general?

My crystal ball says for 2026 the high will be 148k.

Thanks for the analogy. Very curious to see how far gold will pull back eventually.

Gives you an idea. These are 10yr moves so the downside is quite large, -45% and more.

I've had this running for 3yrs and it turned out well Although I originally had Gold topping in Sep, not Mar. I'm unsure what I think about this timing change but I want a 6.5k 🎯 so it's wait for which one hits and go from there.

Downside maybe to 2.4k however if you do other calculations assuming Gold bottoms in 2028, I get 3.1k fair market value for Gold. Anything below that and you know it's an exaggerated swing below.

The noise for Gold is the 10k-15k-20k calls and the confusion over the signal Gold is currently sending. It's pricing event risk. Once that event occurs it stops signalling that which  is why the huge down move follows. I traded silver for the 2011 move, trust me, once it pops you'll hear every pleb calling for higher for years and years. Gold bug plebs double down hard too. They buy and buy and buy, always bullish.
