Q 📦

@bayc8819 @KobeissiLetter What are you talking about? BTC crashed and the bear market started the same time it has literally ever single cycle. Q4 of the post halving year— please show data to substantively prove otherwise

The only president to cancel a bull run four-year cycle The only president to crash BTC by 50% after halving The only president to crash altcoins by 90% and rendering DCAing useless after 4 years of accumulation The only president to start actual wars and trade wars during bull run, removing excitement The only president to rug pull on crypto investors The only president to unregulate AI companies to remove all market liquidity away from crypto and towards stocks I was supposed to retire I now have a worthless bag of alts

BREAKING: President Trump releases a statement on crypto. “Trump will never let crypto down,” he says.

@ronrule @Satoshisview @UziCryptoo You’re missing a very important part of your calculation. Average mortgage with insurance, repairs, & property tax monthly is $4000. $1650 is the average rent. You have to do the math not only on the down payment but also the compounding savings on renting vs owning.

Well, we can examine that. Thirty years ago (1996) the median home price was $140k. Ten percent down would be $14k. $14k in the S&P from 1996 to today would be around $265k today. Subtract your $14k and that’s a total profit of $251k. Based on 1996 interest rates, on a 30 year mortgage you ultimately paid double the purchase price when you add up all the monthly payments over 30 years. So all-in you’ve paid $280k out of pocket and the median value is $429k. That’s a total profit of ~$149k. On the surface this appears to favor the S&P ($251k vs $149k) — however we’re counting the total sum of all house payments in our housing calculation. We haven’t counted the cost of rent yet. The average rent in 1996 was $500 a month and today is about $1500. If you add up the total spent on rent (starting at $500 a month and ending at $1500 a month, assuming a steady increase year over year) you’ve spent $360k on rent. Your $251k S&P profit minus your $360k paid in rent for 30 years ends up being a net loss of $109k. Real estate still wins. To be fair, SOME people could have won with the market — for example if you were savvy enough to get out before the dotcom crash or the 2008 housing crash and buy back in during those dips you could definitely be WAY ahead of real estate with your S&P gains. But if all you did was put your downpayment in and leave it alone, you basically spent $109k more on rent over 30 years than you made with the S&P. But even if that was you, you’re also forgetting one thing — the 1996 buyer now has no house payment at all. They can now invest their whole house payment into the market. You’re still paying rent.

Option 1, rent a house for $2500/month Option 2, give the bank $100,000 and pretend you own a house for $4000/month knowing $2700 is going to interest.

@savanah2j Lifetime isn’t worth it.

Look I’m very into health and fitness there’s a lifetime gym opening by my house and I was planning on getting a membership, starting price is $339 per month. Doesn’t that seem a little steep or am I just outta touch because I haven’t paid for a gym in a long time??

@SCHDaccumulator That’s a big assumption

I own 173 shares of $IBIT equivalent to .098 $BTC Assuming a 20% CAGR over 30 years, I would retire with $1,600,000 dollars 🤑

@Leo_Traydes Bottoms not in. May or October for bottom would fit the post halving pattern for market cycle low. October being most likely. May being second most likely. @RemindMe_OfThis December 31st, 2026

I think it is now safe to say that Bitcoin has bottomed $BTC

@TraderJBx Wrong year brother. 2026 is the post halving year. You would compare it to 2022 which was also the last post having year. Not 2023.

Imagine the smell... $BTC #Bitcoin

@CoinMarketCap When has crypto ever needed a bailout?

LATEST: 🇺🇸 Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to the Fed and Treasury, urging them not to bail out the crypto market, saying it would disproportionately benefit wealthy crypto holders over taxpayers.

@ScottiePippen Shut up Scotty

Bitcoin.

@cryptomanran Study BTC cycles. BTC topped Q4 of the post having year… the same exact time it’s topped every other cycle. Narrative follows price not vice versa.

For the first time in 12 years, I’m questioning Bitcoin’s thesis. It’s not the drawdown that concerns me; it’s how Bitcoin responded when markets genuinely moved into risk and uncertainty. $BTC evolved from “peer-to-peer cash” into “digital gold.” We fought for ETF approval. We fought for institutional access. We wanted it inside the system. Now it is. There is nothing to fight for anymore. So when tariffs, currency tension, and fiscal instability hit, this was the moment Bitcoin was supposed to behave like a store of value. Instead, capital ran to gold. Institutions had access. There were no barriers left. That’s the uncomfortable part. If it’s not used as cash, and it didn’t meaningfully absorb the stress bid, then what exactly is the narrative? Retail participation is near multi-year lows. Early evangelists have largely exited. Even aggressive weekly buyers can’t generate sustained momentum. That doesn’t mean Bitcoin dies. But it does mean the thesis isn’t unquestioned anymore. What’s interesting is I’m worried about Bitcoin, not crypto. Because the next wave isn’t ideological. AI agents won’t use banks. They won’t use credit cards. They’ll need instant, programmable settlement rails. That’s crypto. In my new video, I unpack why I think Bitcoin failed this cycle’s defining test and what is likely to happen next. [link in comments]

@LukeMikic21 @Thenorthernhodl @benjamincowen Did you watch these videos? 4 years ago was a great time to be invested in Cardano & ETH. He also called for people to start selling altcoins back to BTC at damn near the pico top. People would’ve literally not only made but saved their portfolio because of him

@Thenorthernhodl @benjamincowen Check the receipts.

Beware who you trust to be your quant. This guy missed the whole run up from $15k to $65k, but now he's the 4 year candle stick astrology wizard? Cmon guys.

@Leo_Traydes We’re close in age. I know it’s possible. I’m living it right now. Hardest part is finding a wife that’s on board. People have the ability to max out their Roth IRA AND get to $4k-$4500 in the market. Always sacrifices but it’s possible. Very unpopular opinion though.

@quiggs_eth What about wife, kids, vacations, home, bills? The list goes on…

So I guess everyone here is retiring somewhere around 40 years old only using your taxable Many of you with less than 25k portfolios How do you plan to get to a comfortable number by 40-45?! Let’s do some quick math - say 4 million is your retirement number for the age of 40 If you start at 20 with $25,000 to your name, to get to 4 million by 40 years old you need about a 29% return every single year, assuming no extra contributions If you think that’s reasonable you’re delusional With contributions you’d need a 12% annual return with about $4,500 of contributions per month to get there by 40 Meaning over 50k a year needs to be invested Obviously it’s not impossible, but the amount of pure ignorance of everyone on X thinking this exact scenario will happen for them is non sense Just because we spend hours a day talking about finances doesn’t mean we have the edge between retirement at 40 or 60.. It all comes down to your income and discipline with investing at the end of the day

@DudeWhoInvests 20-21

At what age should someone reach $50,000 invested, realistically??

@Leo_Traydes Did you look into capital one venture X?

Going against my original word (shocker) I’ve crunched numbers regarding my spending and ability to maximize the perks of Amex Gold I’d be getting my moneys worth and more Most importantly a 60,000 bonus point welcome offer Looking back at my 2025 spending I would 100% be able to take advantage of this The bonus offer in itself is worth it 60,000 points can pay for some round trip flights
