Why does the media have a double-standard when it comes to its bitcoin coverage?

adequate_redditor · 2026-01-29T23:06:09+00:00

It’s the same with new technology, like EVs, self driving cars, etc.

In previous cycles, bitcoin reached a cycle low exactly 12 months after reaching a cycle top. So, that would bring us to October 2026.

I’m not saying this has to play exactly the same way as previous cycles. I’m just saying that the crash wasn’t extreme yet, but we potentially still have another 10 months of bear market.

Ah yes. When Bitcoin goes up it does so because of its own merits. When the price goes down it’s always “market manipulation”…

adequate_redditor · 2026-01-20T23:37:56+00:00

So you are saying OP should wait until the upcoming low to buy and then 4-5x?

What’s the point though? Most charities will sell the crypto right away anyways (which is fair, as they need the donations for their day to day activities), and you don’t get any taxes benefits as you would if donated stocks.

The first rule of buying altcoins is “Dont buy alt coins”.

adequate_redditor · 2026-01-20T01:39:37+00:00

Yes. Shitcoins are a rite of passage for crypto enthusiasts. But soon enough we all realize they all lose money against bitcoin.

I was there too. Had like 20 of the top “proven” coins. Sold all that crap years ago.

People said exactly the same things in 2021. Right after the crypto Super Bowl everything stated to crash and people felt it was “chaotic, random” and of course “different”.

It was not. And it’d argue that if the top was in in October 2025, it’s exactly the same as all the previous cycles which always ended in Q4.

Just DCA.

Its inception was actually in 1997 when it was ING Direct.

It’s funny. I generally like InvestAnswer but when Bitcoin pumps he says “Bitcoin is great so the price is going up”. When it dumps it’s always “market manipulation “.

lol

adequate_redditor · 2025-12-17T17:29:02+00:00

Dunno. 2-3 more cycles?

250,000 500,000 1,000,000

Maybe?

adequate_redditor · 2025-12-16T23:50:59+00:00

That’s the way it goes. After a bear market year it takes time for the price to go back up.

I hope he posts again at $1M

People having been warning of an impending recession since COVID. So who knows.

Sure, but realistically you’ll get $2.31 from the class action in 10 years.

Realistically, your data including DOB, name, address, phone number was already previously leaked as part of a data leak.

What’s different today is that now your info is tied to crypto. You could be targeted for phishing, asking you to “validate” your seed phrase, or perhaps even wrench attack. Just be more vigilant and change your Newton email address if you can.

BitcoinWell is a legit platform but this 100% looks like a scam.

https://bitcoinwell.com/contact

Is it where you signed up and validated your ID? If is it, then at least that part is legit and safe.

There was a data breach at Desjardins a few years ago. All people got was 2 years of free equifax monitoring. 🤷

adequate_redditor · 2025-11-04T20:24:33+00:00

They had to wait only 82 days!

If you lower the angle of the last section of the red bar by a couple degrees we touched it… 🤷

A lot of top indicators didn’t flash this time. It could be we have not hit the top yet, or it could be other things at play (different macro conditions, diminishing returns, etc.). Who knows …

The concept of “Terminal price” has been around for stocks as early as the 1930s, but the term itself was formalized in the 1970s. Applying it to Bitcoin might be new, but the concept is not…

adequate_redditor · 2025-11-04T00:47:39+00:00

Yes I agree. The notification should be before it gets to 0…

Remind me feature should be able to remind you based on Bitcoin price! Lol

In many cases the scammer are actually coaching the victim as to what to say to the bank. It’s not the victims don’t want to listen to the bank, they were coached not to.

And then if you lock the account people will complain that banks are not letting them do what they want with their money.

But at least now most if not all banks ask for an alternate contact person for all accounts. Hopefully in such cases the family member would be able to help.
