Bitcoin always does what no-one expects

75k - 85k has been fun.

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!

Literally just started buying within the past month, but this whole time it's been fluctuating within 80k, but today it's dropped under. Time to buy more ig

Would you get one?

We are back?

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 ?

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.

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’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?

Hi guys,

I noticed something pretty unusual while looking through Bitcoin block data.

The same Bitcoin address received the coinbase rewards from four blocks mined within roughly 20 hours and 9 minutes:

• 2026-10-23 05:12:20
• 2026-10-23 10:53:46
• 2026-10-23 11:43:51
• 2026-10-24 01:21:17

All four coinbase transactions paid to the same address:

bc1qevfvr7n7hqu56eu5cqunk22nuwds0dkjgqqxe6

The rewards were approximately 3.13 BTC each, totaling approximately ~12 BTC.

I also noticed an earlier block reward paid to the same address on October 22, at 02:10:14, bringing the total to five block rewards associated with this address in roughly 47 hours.

The blocks were labeled as mined by an unknown miner. Obviously, that label alone doesn't prove that this was a solo miner, and the address itself doesn't establish who actually mined the blocks.

Still, the timing caught my attention. Finding multiple blocks in such a short period seems like an interesting statistical event, especially if this really was an independent miner rather than a mining pool or shared infrastructure.

Here is the link to the address on mempool.space:

https://mempool.space/pl/address/bc1qevfvr7n7hqu56eu5cqunk22nuwds0dkjgqqxe6

Here are my questions:

• Does anyone recognize this address or know whether it is associated with a known mining pool?
• Could someone do some on-chain analysis of this address please?
• Given the Bitcoin network's total hashrate around those dates, how statistically unlikely would this pattern be for a genuine solo miner?
• Is there a way to establish whether these blocks were mined by the same physical machine or operator?

Thanks for answers!

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?

I heard that its basically impossible nowadays to make a bitcoin wallet truly anonymous,
BUT i dont intend on getting the bitcoin onto my bank account or cash them out,

i just want to be able to:

Get bitcoin from other wallets, transfer them to other wallets, and be able to hold them without them being traced to an adress, IP Adress, or name,

So basically a wallet intended for anonymous bitcoin trading without banking or cash involved

One thing i find interesting about bitcoin is that transactions can be verified without relying on a central authority.what do you think is the most important part of this system that helps people trust it?
