Why not all in bitcoin?
Why not all in bitcoin if you're convinced that in 5 years it will be worth $200,000?

Absolutely doomed.
I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Tried countless wallets to buy/sell BTC.
Revolut not allowed
Kraken doesn't let me to sell
Strike also not allowed for buy/sell with bank.
Binance also can't sell
Also, most of banks here don't allow me to do anything with BTC and i also contacted my bank that told me if i get a decent amount of money on my bank, i will get on "High Risk" list.
I am currently doing DCA and they don't have a problem with it, but getting money back on my card is absolute HELL.
My friend tried to invest in BTC and had problems with investing, only to call his bank and they told him they don't allow crypto at all.
That is where things clicked, my money on my account is not MY MONEY.
I won't sell for quite some time, but i need help with how to proceed with situation.
Thanks.

My friend says I'm dumb for investing in Bitcoin. What should I do?
I’ve been dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin since September 2024, putting in a small amount every week. Nothing crazy, just a slow and steady strategy I plan to hold long-term. I also read Thank God for Bitcoin, and honestly, it really clicked for me — I’ve been hooked ever since and kind of wish I’d gotten into it sooner.
Anyway, I was chatting with a close friend who works in finance, and he basically told me I was stupid for investing in BTC. He said it’s “too volatile” and that I don’t know what I’m doing. Even when I tried to show him the year-over-year returns and explain that I’m not gambling — just adopting a long-term HODL mindset — he brushed it off like I was wasting my money.
It kind of got to me. I know Bitcoin isn’t for everyone, and maybe one day he’ll regret not getting in earlier, but I really thought I was taking a pretty reasonable approach.
How do you handle it when people dismiss your financial decisions — especially when you’ve actually put time and thought into them? Am I missing something here, or is this just a “different strokes for different folks” situation?
Appreciate any advice, perspective, or solidarity.

Don't worry about buying at the top. You're buying at future lows.
Confirmed I'm a late entrant to BTC, but I am doing my best to rapidly stack sats. With the dollar falling and stocks being unpredictable, what starts to be more obvious is that Bitcoin is something of a "safe" haven, made even more solid by the capped number of BTC that can ever be produced. There will be more demand and there will be no more supply, which will continue to push price pressures upward.
So if you're looking at Bitcoin at 95k or 85k or 105k and thinking you don't want to get in at the top, not only is dollar cost averaging the best way to stop chasing a pricepoint, but it is time to start thinking of the current prices not as all time highs, but instead as future lows that may never be available again.
Every one-time all time high has been left in the dust and may not ever be seen again. This means the best time to buy is always until the next time and then you buy again. BTC is cheap at 95k and it will be cheap at 120k and will be cheap at 250k. That's the game.

I did 0.1
Today I stacked 0.1 BTC after three years. In my local currency that's another 12 million. My next goal is 1.15

Did Satoshi choose 21M as a nod to the inflation of ‘truth’ itself?
Most people explain Bitcoin's 21 million supply limit by referencing mining rewards and halvings (50 → 25 → 12.5 → etc.).
But if you think critically, you'll notice:
Satoshi could have set block halvings after 200,000 or 250,000 blocks instead of 210,000.
He could have chosen a starting reward of 40, 60, or any other value.
The total supply could have been any number — 20 million, 25 million, 50 million — depending on simple design choices.
Now, recently I watched a 2007 lecture by Kent Hovind called "Dinosaurs and the Bible".
Originally, I was simply curious about the topic of dinosaurs in the Bible (not Bitcoin, not earth age theories).
But then something jumped out at me:
Starting around minute 45:00 Kent Hovind explains how, throughout modern history, scientists have kept increasing the estimated age of the Earth:
- In 1770, the Earth was said to be 70,000 years old.
- In 1905, it became 2 billion years old.
- In 1969, it was raised to 3.5 billion years old.
- Today, it's 4.6 billion years old.
He jokingly calculates that, based on the historical record, the Earth's age "inflates" by about 21 million years per year.
Now — Bitcoin’s whitepaper was published in 2008, just after this lecture was circulating online.
Here’s the theory:
Satoshi might have seen the irony that not just currencies inflate — but even supposed scientific "truth" about fundamental things like the age of the Earth inflates over time.
Choosing 21 million bitcoins could be a subtle philosophical jab:
- A fixed, hard limit against monetary inflation,
- And perhaps symbolically, a fixed limit against the inflation of truth itself.
In a world where everything — money, facts, narratives — keeps inflating and losing meaning, Bitcoin stands as a rare creation with hard, unchangeable scarcity.
Important note:
- I realize there’s no direct proof.
- But when you look at Satoshi’s style (hidden references, anti-inflation ethos, philosophical undertones) — and the timing (2007 lecture, 2008 whitepaper) — it makes this theory very logically possible.
Maybe Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap isn’t just about economics...
Maybe it's also a message about truth, scarcity, and resistance to human tendency to endlessly inflate everything.
Would love to hear what you all think. Has anyone else ever made this connection before?

I'm 16 years old and still at school. Is there still time?
I'm 16 years old, I'm from Brazil, I receive 300 reais per month, which is very little compared to dollars, but I've already been saving money and I have some satoshis, but I don't know if I should continue buying satoshis or use the money for something else.
I'm a minor and technically I was supposed to tell my parents that I bought bitcoin but I know very well what their reaction will be so I'm going to try to wait a little longer before talking to them.
For me, 1 Bitcoin is a dream that seems very far away and until I start receiving real money, Bitcoin will already be much bigger and will be much more expensive so I keep asking myself. Is there still time?

Invested $95000 in BTC
I put all my eggs in 1 basket and bought $95k CAD worth of BTC @ $118K.
This is my life savings. Should I take the earnings I accumulated so far or stay for the volatile long haul with the risk of losing it all?
Signs are positive given the current political climate
I am 34 and need hard truth, financial advice, or tequila club soda
