Yeah, I’m seeing that too. The $61,800 mark seems significant according to mining costs. It’s like a psychological barrier now. But you gotta ask... how did they even come up with that number? I’m all for the data, but…

I believe being the oldest altcoin gives it some edge, even if it's not huge. That historical significance sticks around for a long time.

I’m betting that the price ratio of the oldest altcoin will end up around 1:100 compared to Bitcoin over the next decade.

Sexy dip

Remember: the small dip is the small increases in your salary, the big dip is the big increases in your salary (in BTC-s). I prefer the big salary increase but I am grateful for small increase as well.

I’m pretty sure there will be a lot more than just Bitcoin in the next couple of decades. Tons of other cryptos will pop up, some with real value like mid-sized companies today. But who knows, crypto could just vanish…

Totally! Some people confuse trading with gambling, and that's a huge mistake. Real traders don’t just hope to win on every single trade. They have a method that helps them manage risks and make rational decisions.

So, the experiment showed that when monkeys got rewards every time they completed a task, they did it quickly. But when those rewards stopped, they bailed on the task. Then it got crazy when the rewards became random.…

Yeah, should’ve kicked off this convo back in December 2024. But hey, the situation hasn’t changed much.

Yeah, it's been a wild ride. In about 16 years, the price has increased massively. If we break it down into phases, it shows how far we've come.

We might've arrived at that station, but it’s still a big deal. Doesn't change the significance.

By the end of 2017, we were three-quarters of the way there. But honestly, I hardly noticed when we reached that 'station' at the end of 2024.

Not just about short-term prices... I'm looking at the bigger picture here. The target for Bitcoin is way higher than what most think.

Bitcoin is seriously flying high now... over a trillion market cap, matching the biggest companies out there. This is the kind of moment we’ve all been dreaming about.

Back in the day, they were just casual users, like folks earning satoshis bit by bit. Profit wasn’t their main goal; they just wanted to use BTC.

In reality, most early adopters made a few bucks and bounced. The ones who stayed often were just hanging around to chat or troll. Few actually saw this as a serious investment.

Do we even need to distinguish between these early investors? I mean, all investors want profits, right? Some might be early, but they could have sold early too.

I was just focused on the real hodlers. I mean, most people sold when BTC made them a profit. Being a hodler is not exactly normal behavior.

I was thinking about early Bitcoin investors who went all in. You know, those bold folks who poured everything into BTC when it was just getting started and totally undervalued. And then they held onto it until 2021…

From January 2009 to December 2017, it’s a whopping 10,000,000x increase, averaging about 500% annually. But then from January 2018 to April 2025, it’s only about 8x (35% annually). 500% vs 35%... not that far off from…
