tl;dr: Over the course of the past 4.5 years, I’ve taken out ~$175,000 in personal loans and 0% credit card balance transfer loans to purchase 5 Bitcoin. I've paid ~$18,000 in interest. All loans were unsecured. No risk of liquidation. As mentioned in my previous (4 year) update, all loans were paid in full. This new loan is all I have outstanding. I've been making updates every 6 months or so since the beginning. See my post history for previous updates. ************ Today, June 19th, 2026 Bitcoin is trading at $63,00 per coin, which brings the current value of my 5₿ to $315,000. The average price I paid is ~$38,600 per Bitcoin. My total cost basis is ~$193,000 for 5₿ ($175k in loans + $18,000 in interest). This comes to ~63% unrealized profit or ~$122,000 in dollar terms as of today. ************** Not much new to report other than that I couldn’t resist this recent dip so I went ahead and took out another 0% interest credit card balance transfer for $15,000 and bought 0.25BTC. This brings my total to 5 Bitcoin. I know I said I was done taking out loans, but with the price so low and the balance transfer loan at 0%, plus a 3% transfer fee, I thought to myself why not make it a clean 5 Bitcoin! I’ve been throwing just about everything I have into it for the past 5 years anyway. I recently decided to start investing in the stock market again for the first time in ages. I feel like I have enough Bitcoin now that I can move on. It won’t take me long to pay off this most recent loan, maybe 5-6 months at most. I can easily afford it. I will say this though… Bitcoin has seriously underperformed what I originally anticipated. Last years bull market was underwhelming to say the least. It really hasn’t done much better than stocks the past 5 years. Pretty much every single prediction I’ve heard about Bitcoin and institutional adoption of the past 5 years has failed to materialize. I’m sick of all the moonboys as much as I am the haters. Not to mention, the Bitcoin community has become fragmented and kind of toxic if I’m being honest. I have had to filter out and unfollow a lot of people this past year in the Bitcoin community. I still think Bitcoin is the apex asset but I’m going o be diversifying with new income moving forward. I will reassess in a 3 years time. submitted by /u/Vaginosis-Psychosis [link] [Kommentare]

A friend asked me today about bitcoin so why not share what I see to the world. (IMAGES ARE FOR INTRA-DAY ANALYSIS, I START THIS POST BY DISSECTING THE HIGHER TIME FRAME FIRST) In the higher time frame bias I am seeing bitcoin being bullish by a lot of different factors, but I cannot rule out the idea of the pullback structure we have formed since the drop back in June 1st. For the long term I am seeing a pullback area I would eye around 59,500’s since that was our bottom back in June 5th, a Friday. Why I’m I bullish on the higher time frame? Because we have: - ETF inflows accelerating. - Corporate Treasury adoption rising. - Declining exchange reserves. - institutional dip buying active. - Risk-On environment favoring BTC. Now, this can change in a instant and we have to be careful on these things: - US Bond yields rising sharply. - Stocky inflation risks persist, meaning the energy crisis we are living in. - Fed maintained hawkish tone. - Stronger US data supporting dollar strength. For intraday analysis, see the picture, I have provided support and resistance levels, as well as a target level and the reasons why. submitted by /u/TheForexHouse [link] [Kommentare]

Moomoo offers up to $1,000 in free stock through it's current promotion ending this month. It has several tiers, $30 at 500 deposited $100 at 2,000 $200 at 10,000 $400 at 50,000 $1,000 at 100,000 I would recommend putting in 20,000. The app gives you an 8.1% APY for 2 months on the first $20,000 you have in. Buying stocks is not necessary at all and the cash you do not invest is fully FDIC insured and gets you that insane 8.1% rate on top of whatever free stock you get at the end of the two months. There is no reason not to use the app. submitted by /u/IAmPhlegmatic [link] [Kommentare]

Fairly long term holder - 6 years or so so it’s been a good journey for me. Not life changing but reasonably good. But, the hard reality is what problem solution does any crypto really solve? I recently watched an hour long documentary on Python. Interviews with Guido van Rossum and many other key figures. I began to compare Python and Crypto. Python solved a real need for easier to read code. Adoption just occurred and continues. So, I began to compare what does Crypto solve? I struggle to find one real world problem that it solves so well that adoption is assured. I am not talking about what we hope it solves (ridding us of fiat and government manipulation as example), but what solution does it provide? I honestly can’t think of anything. Surely there is hopefully something to allow certain adoption. Or, are we just hooked on it’s a cool concept and certain others will get on board for the same reason? Convince me I am wrong. As I am certainly possibly missing what the problem being solved is. Thanks. submitted by /u/usernamezombie [link] [Kommentare]
