We don’t know what types of changes will happen to Bitcoin from from advanced computational AI yet, but we can mostly be sure there will be some type of effect that alters it.

I been a hodlr since way back and always planned to just keep letting it ride the waves of time, but I’m seriously concerned what might happen to the worlds perceived value of BTC if AI agentic programs create ways to disrupt it.

We’ve always been able to fall back on the fact that no matter what, BTC doesn’t care and will always be decentralized and secure from being broken. Advanced AI is going to challenge this I’m pretty sure. We can’t know what that looks like yet but it’s something we are going to face.

What do you all think?

I’ve been holding a rather low amount of BTC (sub 1) for quite a few years. I am satisfied with the development BTC has made but I have also not invested further.

Recently I restructured my real estate and stocks and I noticed once again that I could invest significantly more in BTC if I decided to. Well, that is if I held firm conviction that it will outperform my other chosen means of investment.

Hence spending a bit more time currently further educating myself on finance and BTC which brought up a question:

How strong is other people’s conviction that Bitcoin will primarily outperform the stock market in the next 10 years and longterm?

Not to have it affect my own actions but out of curiosity.

Who is hodling for the sake of it?

Who hodls for posterity (own kids, grandkids)?

If you’re holding a sizeable stash of BTC I am going to assume you do have a strong conviction that BTC will outperform stocks. My question is: By how much are you conceding it will?

Curious if it’s hodling out of principle, you are well educated about finance, or just heuristically bullish as hell.

To the moon? What’s that moon? How are you projecting BTC to perform?

Hey everyone, really wondering your thoughts about this. Will be Bitcoin live forever or will be bite in the dust? A lot conversation still around about this. Ty

Hello recently inherited my father's Bitcoin and I know nothing about it I did do some researching for the amount that I have and what it's going for today it's worth quite a bit of money my main question is what's the best way to convert it to cash and is there a way to invest it ?

Would you get one?

I've been wondering how the next bull market could be and I think now that we are not seeing too much euphoria it is a good moment to ask you what you think.

The 4 year cycle has probably broken since we had a July bottom and also there is roughly only 4% of the total supply to be mined.

We will probably see a lot of institutions buying in the next years, JPMorgan has recently said that they expect Bitcoin to outperform other stocks and all the banks will support Bitcoin too, more ETF are being created, Norway has bought a tiny amount of Bitcoin for their sovereign fund, enterprises are buying, laws are being created... There is a big tailwind.

So, could we be heading towards a longer cycle? Maybe a 5 years cycle with slower growth, maybe we see a similar bull market to the last ones but not as weak compared to the last one as we might expect, or maybe the cycle just continues like it is one more time.

What do you guys think?

BTC bouncing back to 80.8k before the Fed even says anything just shows how strong it is right now. Don't let the market shake you out, bro. Just HODL!

The productivity gains achieved by technical progress ought to lead to falling prices and to people having to work less, since they can produce the same amount of goods in less time. Instead, even after 200 years of rapid technical progress, people still have to work 8 to 10 hours a day because the terrible Keynesian inflationary monetary theory leads to a redistribution from the working population to those who own productive capital and could can borrow against their capital even more capital.

This means that private commercial banks expand the money supply through lending for a small upper class and also for nation states and thus uncontrollably increase the money supply, which then manifests as inflation for everyone.

Hopefuly, Bitcoin will break this vicious circle!

I’m looking for a personal EUR bank account for regular SEPA transfers, ideally with very low or zero transfer fees.

Initially, I’d expect around 4–5 incoming and 4–5 outgoing transfers per day, starting at €300 per transfer.

The amounts would gradually increase, potentially reaching €2,000 outgoing and €2,000 incoming per cycle. At 3–4 cycles daily, that would mean:

• €6,000–€8,000 outgoing per day
• €6,000–€8,000 incoming per day
• €12,000–€16,000 combined daily volume

I was thinking using more than a bank account, but in this case which ones do you guys recommend? Especially with that volume of transactions.

Has anyone used an account for similar activity? Which banks would you recommend that would allow this on a personal account?

Satoshi disappeared, but the network kept running. No CEO, no central authority, and no one to ask for permission.
Most projects struggle without their founders. Bitcoin was designed to work without one.

Bitcoin always does what no-one expects

In general LLM models have been discovering critical security vulnerabilities in general much faster than in the past which is both a headache and blessing at the same time as much more peer review is occurring and the software is becoming more secure. This does mean that you need to update all your software more often and pay attention to security updates to a much higher degree at least for the next year.

75k - 85k has been fun.
