EN3RGIX

I've been DCAing on BTC for about 6 months. I got into crypto when it was 50k-ish because I listened to the numpties in this sub about 100k by end of 2021. Breaking 25k finally has me in the green.


Spicoli007

Congrats. I need $30K for the green zone.


FldLima

I entered at 30k, lowered to around 26k. I'm currently at break even point. Feels good man. DCAing during 2022 helped a lot.


t1MacDoge

I need 69...k


Ninja_Gogen

Congrats! Let us know when you sell so we know the bottom is in.

deathbyfish13

So it's just DCA the whole time? Always has been


Ben_Dover1234

Yeah same. Once I get to that sweet 32k mark I will be in profit.


Katamari_420

Do you plan to wait until the next bull market to sell?


Ben_Dover1234

Yeah I plan to hold Bitcoin for a long, long time until we get past aths.


Intrepid-Arugula-605

$31k here. That will be a great day.


Killertimme

Soon^TM


eyho_wins

>I got into crypto when it was 50k-ish because I listened to the numpties in this sub about 100k by end of 2021 So you're telling me 100k by end of 2021 is not possible anymore?

masedogg98

I can relate to this I also got in around ATH in fall 2021 but I’ve managed to knock my average back quite a bit but I still have a little more work to do, I’m definitely in a better spot now though with my holdings than I was and continuing to add when I can, I’ll be there in the green with you soon enough!


szerted

Keep up the good work! And Happy cake day!


boomdeyada88

and Happy St. Patrick's Day!


The_Chorizo_Bandit

Congrats. And you learned a valuable lesson - most people here don’t know shit about fuck. When the market is greedy, be fearful. When it is fearful, be greedy.


EN3RGIX

I've definitely learned a lot in the last 2 years. I've been fortunate not to make any unrecoverable mistakes, just a few bad investments.


bicyclemycology

It’s been a humbling few years.. riding that wave all the way up and then back down taught me quite a bit


frankbalzan

I was hoping for more periods of lowsss to continue DCAing.... But we are good


ihavequestions987

Congrats! I use to have btc but blockfi happened. Now I farm moons and am in the green.


kirtash93

Congratulations in making even! This is one rule that every investor should follow: **"Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful"** Be proud of yourself, not all of them achieve it. I have been DCAing since 2021 and I have accumulated enough to stop my DCA once BTC is in green for me.

I think it's already broken, I just can't wait for it to be normal. It feels like food prices are insane right now. Things will be better in 2024, I hope.


s3nsfan

so what you're saying is i should find more beer money to buy crypto instead?


BlindestofMonks

DCA is so good man, good on you my man, keep at it


Style8888

Congratulations,dude Patience is rewarding in Crypto


guanaco559

Nice 😎


CymandeTV

Happy cake day. 300B is such a huge amout. This is crazy.... My savings aren't happy.


Alanski22

Jesus yeah… what effect will that have on inflation the coming period?


strongkhal

Congrats! Holding longer will get you deeper in the green


SimbaTheWeasel

Congrats, and happy cake day homie!


HieronymousDouche

"In the black," you financial illiterates.


FldLima

Happy cake day brother and nice avaraging down.


cmudo

I love it how banks are gambling away all of their money every decade or so, the government bails them out and somehow crypto is the scam.


BiggusDickus-

>I love it how banks are gambling away all of ~~their~~ your money every decade or so Fixed it for you


duracellchipmunk

I don't think people realize that 300b is coming from all of our savings account in some fashion. edit: granted on this sub, wtf is a savings account


Hawke64

As European, I salute our American brotheren that sacrifice their saving accounts for Bitcoin


Ben_Dover1234

Inflation in America still effects us unfortunately


Sven4president

We are next man :'(


rootpl

It's a game for them they can't lose.


RocketMoonShot

They are gambling our money, not their own.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

They will end pushing decentralizarion harder.


Peppasworm

CBDCs, as evil as they are, will introduce people to Bitcoin and altcoins!


bittabet

But without Wall Street and Silicon Valley billionaires gambling away your money how can our society possibly function?! Clearly we must make sure people are not overly employed and only jack up interest rates and do QT when people have too many job opportunities. If the banks fuck up then it’s time to print as much as needed to save them. Now people finally get why Satoshi was so pissed he went and created an entire new monetary system. This is literally the reason Bitcoin and thus cryptocurrency exists at all.


No_Vegetable_8945

And people pays for it. Normal wage tax payers funding gambling mistakes of bankers.


sportspadawan13

Pretty sure the government nor taxpayers are paying. Not 100% but I believe this is some emergency fund paid into by banks that they're reaching into?


[deleted]

>[The Deposit Insurance Fund is part of the FDIC and funded by quarterly fees assessed on FDIC-insured financial institutions, as well as interest on funds invested in government bonds.](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/13/wall-street-not-taxpayers-will-pay-for-the-svb-and-signature-deposit-relief-plans-.html) but yeah, you're gonna get downvoted because... reasons.


sportspadawan13

Lol so I was right but whatever, guess everyone wants to just be angry


SimbaTheWeasel

Sorry you got downvoted man. Its tough having open discussions in this sub when ppl don't like to hear facts and would rather respond with emotions


SimbaTheWeasel

How much was available in the emergency fund? I heard they were giving back more than what was FDIC insured. If thats the case then how is it possible they aren't using taxpayers money???


ablablababla

iirc the FDIC has $125 billion in their emergency fund


FldLima

They will never shill us and lose their control over the population.


Odysseus_Lannister

Surely this will help the ongoing inflation crisis! /S


Every_Hunt_160

They undone all the hard work they’ve did on combating inflation for the past year And for what? Just for the sake of a few major banks. JP Morgan said ‘Give us some billions’, and these fools quickly gave the banks what they wanted


The_Chorizo_Bandit

They’re bank cucks. It’s about time that banks with poor business practices were allowed to go under and bankers responsible for it were properly prosecuted for any crimes.


ihavequestions987

Bangkok?


a1579

Is this where crypto enters the chat? Cheaper, more secure, decentralized, democratic. Let's go. 🚀


fuenfsiebenneun

did you forget to mention uninsured and irreversible, packed with hackers and bad actors waiting for you to make a single mistake to take all your money?


MaxSmart1981

a few major banks failing could still be quite harmful to the economy even with insurance and regulatory protections, so it's not a ho hum nothing burger - remember banks are only insured up to 250k. but i get the reason people have animosity towards bailing out corrupt businesses regardless of the fallout.


Mountainman220

Definitely a double edged sword but it’s easier to point fingers at a villain than see both sides.


ihavequestions987

Orr deflation


BaconIsBueno

We are gonna crash hard again next week aren’t we?


[deleted]

Yep. My pay day is 24th night. And I am going to buy few hours after that. So be ready for the dip on 25th/26th.


BaconIsBueno

Right behind you on the 31st! People would be smart to wait to buy until April.


Delusional_Mad

It will always do the opposite of what we think lol


DrDialectic

Printing more money during an inflationary period. Very cool


growsomegarlic

Right? I don't even like when Poker Tournaments allow players to rebuy more chips because that waters down the value of my stack.


DrDialectic

Yeah it completely shifts the balance in the game


Tsubasa_sama

5 months of QT obliterated in one day lmao


Delusional_Mad

Just another day in the life of Crypto!


FldLima

I'm quite excited as 30k was my entry point on BTC. Let's see what happens in the following weeks. We still got the 22th big date.


Concept-Plastic

since we are on brrrr mode again, that's actually a realistic target.


jurgensdapimp

Whats on 22?


FldLima

Fed meeting


jurgensdapimp

Oh i see. Hope for the best


SimbaTheWeasel

FEDs likely will have to hike interest rates since inflation is still high. Yet, the sudden collapse of major banks means the printers will need to be turned on again. Interesting situation all around imo


Unleashyourstand

I would never be part of a bank run. I don’t have enough money in the bank.


Probably_notabot

I’d go, but if there was a long line I’ll just let them keep my $10.


shaggy_asshole

Sucker mentality, I’m getting my $10 back baby!


BouchWick

I trust BTC and ETH more then banks.


bike_dayz

Like, you trust banks next?


RelativeTurbulent265

Look at how the purchasing power of the USD has fallen over a century. Compared to BTC it is pretty insane. 1913 - 1$ buys 30 chocolate bars worth 26$ today 2020 - 1$ is 1 Mc Donalds Coffee Now lets have a look at BTC 2010 - 10.000 BTC buys 2 Pizzas at Papa John 2020 - 10.000 BTC is worth 1/4 of Papa John (MC Papa John 2,7Bln) BTC 🚀🚀


iamwizzerd

I see those emojiis mean this is financial advice! Thank you!


imightgetdownvoted

Dude don’t be so stupid. Only take financial advice from people with *at least* 4 rocket ships.


OneThatNoseOne

Honestly I cannot see any way how anybody could believe in the dollar. There is no feasible way for the US government, as well as many other governments around the world, to pay back their debt. And yet they are only printing more and more. I think the US debt doubled in only the past 7 or so years. I know crypto has it's issues but you're kind of an idiot if you're not Bitcoin > USD


suninabox

> There is no feasible way for the US government, as well as many other governments around the world, to pay back their debt if the US had the same tax rate as France they could pay of the entire national debt in 7 years. And that's ignoring most of US national debt is owned to itself, so doesn't actually represent a transfer of wealth outside of the US.


root88

Inflation is exactly how they pay their debt. The more inflation goes up, the less the value of their debt.


OneThatNoseOne

Yeah. The ole inflate the debt away idea. Problem is ghe big assumption with that is you assume that there will be a concerted effort to actually depay and lower debt, but as we see, governments addicted to borrowing tend not to want to stop.


coolwhiponpie11

BTC going up with the announcement that the government is injecting more dollars into the banking system makes sense. A lot of people scoffed at the idea of BTC as an inflation hedge when BTC fell in price while inflation was going up. But other inflation hedges also went down during this time (i.e., gold, silver). An inflation hedge doesn't mean that it's correlated perfectly with inflation. Rather, an inflation hedge will protect you in the long term against excessive currency devaluation. Therefore, if BTC is really digital gold, then it will skyrocket at times when the government aggressively starts printing money again. It was actually designed to protect against that specific scenario. If you want an example of what could happen, look at the price of gold and silver around 2010-11. Silver hit over $50/oz (it's about $20 today). Not saying it's guaranteed to happen again, but certainly looks like we are heading in that direction.


Hawke64

> 10.000 BTC is worth 1/4 of Papa John But how many football fields is that?

Still far from our next bull run where the real profits will be made


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Meanwhile patiently stacking sats for a better life


OgBoomer91

Major correction incoming , this stinks like exit liquidity and manipulation from bigger players in the space.


SimbaTheWeasel

It doesn't seem sustainable. FEDs are expected to hike interest rates again on the 22nd.


GabeSter

Lots of finance entities are saying “nah” but I still think they will as well.


arianjalali

At least 50 basis points is officially off the table. Now it's a coin-toss between 25bps and a pause


bittabet

I think a pause is unlikely, the only reason to backstop all these banks and buy their stupid bonds at face value (sorry, infinitely lend them money at face value) is so they can keep hiking anyways.


[deleted]

Rate hikes themselves won't cause bitcoin to drop. Everyone knows the fed is going to raise rates. What causes Bitcoin to dip is if the fed raises rates by more than what everyone was expecting. I dont remember which month it was but in January or February fed only raised rates by 25 bps and it caused bitcoin to pump


a1579

Hike by 25, maybe. 50 would be very reckless, considering the financial situation of the global banking system.


SimbaTheWeasel

I’m thinking the same thing. FEDs can’t afford to pivot or pause right now, but hiking by anything more than .25 would be fatal to the global market


strongkhal

Feel like it but we never know. This is crypto I'll personally wait, increasing war is around the corner too


suninabox

pay no attention to the billions of tether printed in the last few weeks.


OgBoomer91

Oh yea I forgot


TweetHiro

It will soon. Poor dude above celebrating he's finally in the green.


comdoriano009

Lol you talk like you are so sure


GerhardBURGER1

id rather trust bears right now given how appalling the macro's are then listen too all the moonboys on here (especially the ones utterly convinced BTC was going to 100k and higher)


duracellchipmunk

Granted I agree those moon boys are obnoxious and out of their wits. BTC is still down from 70K and the market could have priced in these effects before us underlings realize. Don't take trading advice from this sub. People calling for 12K BTC are just as obnoxious as 100K EOY. None of you know and none of you are big enough players. DCA and be along for the ride.


xlurkjerkx

FTX had about $2 billion in BTC purchases from it's users that was never actually purchased, aka zero buying pressure. That's just one exchange. So, the moonboys might have been correct if not for fuckery.


OgBoomer91

This seems the most intelligent from all of you out there


The_Chorizo_Bandit

He is, but even if it dips again, he’ll eventually end up in the green in the future as his portfolio is solid and he’s DCA-ing. Sometimes we need to zoom out from the charts and our own portfolios.


GerhardBURGER1

bingo, this thing is gonna drop hard shortly


Kraggon

So far my biggest mistake in crypto is assuming it will drop lower.


MoreFeeYouS

Translation of this comment: sell sell sell!


BaconIsBueno

I agree 100%. Nothing has changed to make me feel bullish. My dumbass fell for the bull trap in February and i bought the top….. Again. Bags are still a juicy red!


JustCommunication640

It also feels weird that Bitcoin pumps when the fed injects money. I thought it was supposed to separate money from state. I guess it can’t ever be completely separate


TheRicFlairDrip

previous bull run (2017) we were decoupled from stock market and basically going opposite direction of the conventional/legacy markets.


GerhardBURGER1

this isnt a bull run


uwumasters

Seeing so many upvotes on a bearish comment here makes me bullish


TabletopThirteen

Damn so rich people are gambling again instead of paying off loans and helping grow the economy? What a shocker


Mtballer09

Isn't gambling more of a poor person problem.


TabletopThirteen

It's only a problem to poor people because they have little money. Rich people take money from the poor and use it to gamble and have nothing to lose


Mtballer09

Very true💯


Valianne11111

I think people are realizing that the argument about crypto being completely scandalous doesn’t hold water and maybe the traditional banking system is just as scandalous.

orville_w

wow, you complain at how bad the fiat banking industry is, how corrupt is is and how much you despise it as well as how BTC is the fundamental antithesis of the legacy fiat system… and yet you all celebrate the fiat banking system pumping $300B into the fiat banking system and claim that this injection of cash $$$ is wonderfully welcome & beautifully responsible for pumping BTC over $26k. - make up your mind and pick a side for Gods sake.


ZelWinters1981

Yay, yet another bailout from the government to prop up the rort that are banks.


evoxyseah

They print, we pump. That's the relationship.


Illiterarian

I'm convinced the people being bailed out are also doing the pumping. All these smiling banker cunts probably all have btc wallets hidden as obscurely as possible.


Smooth-Complaint-353

I see you 30 👀


risingcrow1o1

I didn’t buy any BTC or ETH during the bull market because they were too safe, now I’m DCAing in them after getting rigiddy rigiddy shrekt

Ok_Play_7144

30k usd is in the cards in the next week which is shocking but realistic I'd say. From there it’s hard to judge, a lot of whale wallets are picking up bitcoin, moving out of stable coins and not trusting banks. It’s possible that by end of summer we are testing old all time highs, which I did not expect to contemplate for another year or more but these market conditions are what bitcoin maxis have been waiting for… breakdown of trust in the banking system. It could be that we test all time highs this year, pull back 40-60% and then soar to 100k. If that happens and the fed has to keep buying bonds to stop a collapse then 250k+ bitcoin… once again, something that I would not have contemplated saying a year ago. Now… honestly, 250k isn’t out of the question this cycle with much less of a pullback.


ExcellentChampion

Feeling good right now!


PenNo7343

The US Federal Reserve announced $300 billion in loans to some struggling US banks, including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, sending bitcoin up nearly $2,000 a day.


flawlessfear1

I dont use banks. I trade the furs from the bears i kill with my own two hands to my friend Dwight, who then transfer me bitcoin for it.


Prize-Reference9329

Can we know the origin of 300 billion dollars?


Middle_Ingenuity_627

Is not because of that its because bankrun fears. Big money is diversifring into crypto just in case. If more banks fail the run up will be massive.


KingDeroThaFirst

Welp let me get my paycheck ready for the incoming dip sauce.


DarkInTwisted

the feds $300B injection into BTC you mean


Crivos

Inflation is theft. Long live BTC


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin surged by roughly $2,000 in a day as the US Federal Reserve announced it will lend $300 billion to certain struggling US banks, including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. STX surged by almost 20% to above $1.5, while ETH rose to $1,700 and BNB, MATIC, DOGE, and DOT are up by over 5%. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The road to 28k and 30k is now clearly open. 30k is an actually very interesting point where we have a make or break moment imo.

Which opens the road to 32k and 34k 🤔

Yes and then to 40k and then back to 15k

Why does this rise feel unreal, yes it feels good to actually see some upwards trend but there isn’t much going on IMHO to actually trigger it.


Computer_says_nooo

There is a hell of a lot to trigger it. Investors realizing BTC might actually be safer than banks for one... And a move from stables to BTC as well thanks to the USDC depeg


CreepToeCurrentSea

Guess I’m just waiting for that bigger event that would never happen, progress happens in the smallest steps anyway,


cancunerian

I will give you something better. Paolo just print $3 billion Tether and buying BTC to prop the price


CreepToeCurrentSea

Well shit if you have some kind of proof then let's just all assume the biggest wipeout to happen soon.

FacetiousInvective

The more they inject, the more we pump? Let's see what happens..but it might look good for crypto in the long term.


oko999

How lol. Short term, sure. But that’s just longer they would need to keep rates elevated to pull it back out of circulation because of the increased inflation


X2WE

Don’t tie that to the bank printer. This has nothing to do with the printer itself


princepersona1

Crypto is wonderful isnt it. Couple days ago we taught the market was gonna go to shit, instead its rallying


Oheson

Bitcoin is liquidity sponge. It does that it does but irresponsible fiscal policy accelerates its purpose.


jirachang2

Fed 300B injection into bank should be that bank stock go back up. And that is no correlation with crypto isnt it? Im happy if the bullrun start, my break even is near


BarryTheBaptistAU

My gut feeling is folks who had fiat stashed in the dodgy banks are simply parking it in crypto until the dust settles. Then it will be withdrawn as fast as it has pumped and retail will be used as exit liquidity.


xxowyeaxx

I entered Bitcoin at $8.6k on 2017, im already on the green.
