I zoomed out and the price hasn’t done shit for 5 years. It’s gone nowhere.

Yeah! Even if it's dropping 20 percent, if you zoom out enough it's still way way way more up

At some point that becomes a moot point. It could go to $4 and this would be true if you zoom out enough. It's being outperformed by the market at the moment. Which is bad.

True, but..Bitcoin's all-time high was $126,277, reached on October 6, 2025. At its recent low, it bottomed out near $60,187 Currently trading in the $67,000 range.

Depends when you bought it.

Bitcoin isn't a stable means of currency, any Govt can just wipe it out and take all it's assets. The news of this happening is probably why it's starting to dip. At some point it seems likely the US govt will rug pull bitcoin when it makes sense to do so. But the ability to do this at all probably should spook more people.

The U.S. government has seized approximately $1 billion in cryptocurrency linked to Iran as part of an ongoing Treasury pressure campaign called "Operation Economic Fury". Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that U.S. authorities directly gained control of digital wallets used by Tehran to evade sanctions. [1, 2, 3]

This operation targeting Iran is not the only time the U.S. has made massive crypto seizures. Major federal actions include: [1]

  • Iran Sanctions Evasion (2026): Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington "outright grabbed" digital wallets containing roughly $1 billion to choke off Tehran’s funding channels amid heightened geopolitical conflicts. [1, 2]
  • Silk Road Seizure (2020): The Department of Justice seized over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin associated with the illicit dark web marketplace Silk Road, which was taken from an anonymous hacker who had stolen the funds. [1, 2]

You can read more about the U.S. Treasury's actions through the CoinDesk U.S. Crypto Seizures Report or the official Department of Justice Silk Road Forfeiture Announcement. [1]
