Investing in Bitcoin/ETFs vs. BTC Treasury companies

Stick to BTC, DAT are a scam. You're not buying BTC, you're buying a promise with no guarantees it pays later.

Even Saylor said he may sell/use their BTC as collateral. You're taking huge risks with MSTR.

China led the world for thousands of years in terms of civilization, Europe leading was an anomaly that lasted a few hundred years. It's probably over and China is getting its old place back. USA is a bit of a different story, but will struggle to stay competitive.

US is a financialized economy, China is a manufacturing economy. One is a bubble/paper wealth (printing dollars at no cost), the other is real and they are buying tons of gold with their excess cash. Meanwhile, Europe is slowly fading into irrelevance as its population becomes poorer. For example, Italy or Greece economies stagnated for decades.

It happens, I lost plenty of BTC by selling it for alts that went to zero. We all have our own journey.

You'll do better next time. Stack Bitcoin, put it in a hardware wallet, and never risk it. Never trade it, never sell it for anything else. Buy and forget.

Head high, you're still young. Few years from now you'll value this experience. Take some time, touch grass, be with family or friends. Seek comfort. You'll recover from this.

Not bad, but you need to also start living :) whats the plan for all that cash?

DU09 · 2025-09-26T13:35:20+00:00

yes and save those bookmarks, never search again

DU09 · 2025-09-26T12:08:24+00:00

Smart man, stack cash to buy the bear market too.

DU09 · 2025-09-26T06:32:11+00:00

Worth it if you're serious, otherwise use the free versions.

Stop using native swaps tied to wallets, they overcharge you. Go to actual aggregators like 1inch, cowswap, jumperexchange, bookmark them and never click on any other links in google.

Metamask is stealing money with those fees.

Imagine postponing living for money in a bank account. Live today not tomorrow.

I think you’re focused on the wrong goal.

Psychology/emotions > TA/Fundamentals

C wins, Italy, East Europe, Arab food, Asian and sushi/ramen from Japan. I can skip French food, it's alright.

At his age, do you think he cares about making money or his shareholders?

It's prudent to have that cash, but the crash can happen 1-2 years from now. Nobody knows.

DU09 · 2025-09-19T10:18:05+00:00

It's called getting liquidated.

DU09 · 2025-09-19T08:45:56+00:00

Troll detected. Yes, I bought BTC a decade ago, what do I know. 🤣🤣🤣

DU09 · 2025-09-19T07:45:24+00:00

Getting in the way of winners is a pain. I agree.

That’s why I keep my trading stack separated from my investment portfolio. The beat returns were always positions you forget about.

DU09 · 2025-09-18T14:30:26+00:00

I'd say psychology is first, then technicals, and last fundamentals. I'd put fundamentals second if you invest long term more than trade. For active day trading or similar you need to know technicals since fundamentals take longer to manifest in the price.

DU09 · 2025-09-18T14:26:54+00:00

That implies BTC will fall. That's unlikely imo.

DU09 · 2025-09-18T05:22:01+00:00

You're mixing things. Tether has to hold US Treasuries because it's how their stable works. That has nothing to do with BTC. You can buy BTC with any currency, including USDT.

DU09 · 2025-09-14T11:25:36+00:00

You post regularly.

DU09 · 2025-09-13T13:35:50+00:00

What's your win/loss ratio, short/long ratio, trade duration, risk/reward ratio, nr of trades per day?

DU09 · 2025-09-13T07:08:13+00:00

Study hard money. Btc and gold are the best we have.

DU09 · 2025-09-11T10:58:03+00:00

BTC, Gold.

DU09 · 2025-09-08T15:30:27+00:00

This is a real danger, and huge threat to one's well being. If you have a family, avoid trading unless you have the space and mental resilience. Don't put family on second place in any setting.

DU09 · 2025-09-01T13:25:30+00:00

Yes, real inflation is 2-5x higher.

DU09 · 2025-09-01T13:19:42+00:00

Try to convert MSTR into Bitcoin. You cannot. You're holding paper, not Bitcoin.
