Recently I was talking to a relative of mine and they told me that years ago they bought a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin back when it was extremely cheap. At the time they thought it was just another scam, forgot about the wallet and lost access to the email associated with it. They say that they still know what the email is just not the password and if its even still accessible due to years of inacitvity. Any advice or will the bitcoin sit in that wallet till the end of times? submitted by /u/kimilsung5000 [link] [Kommentare]

For years now many of us have asked (or are still asking) “is this legit? a scam?” “when is it gonna boom?“ “is there a future in bitcoin?” and so on, to which the subreddit answer often comes from one of three factions: a hard “yes” from holders who dive into the nuances of statistics (mining performance, decentralized governance etc in full support etc), short term traders emphasizing the potential of timing the pump and dump casino, and the traditional traders who don’t trust it at all. The simpler truth is, “BTC” was never meant to be traded like a stock—it‘s just a digital currency. You can look at the initial boom as the transition from mostly paper registers to signs that say “cashless payments only.” Of course people who bet on it early were going to get a nice chunk of change as more and more people started using apple pay. Bitcoin is basically a decentralized Visa prepaid card. I’m not saying it’s valuable or not valuable, I don’t know what it’s gonna do, but if you view the bitcoin market as if a whole lot of people suddenly invested in the peso, yeah it’s gonna look volatile and different from another stock as well as less stable than a currency. Anyways… just some food for thought. Maybe for some of you a xanax. I’d love to hear your opinions for or against cryptocurrency :) submitted by /u/salieut [link] [Kommentare]

Ondo finance launched tokenized versions of blackrock's ivv and micron stock today, first time US listed securities have been tokenized on a public blockchain using existing US market infrastructure, third party custody and no issuer involvement,built on the framework the sec outlined in jan 2026 and securitize went public on nyse the same day and launched tokenized shares concurrently with its stock debut. its been seen as breakthrough and is structurally getting tokenized securities to work within existing US market rails without needing issuer sign off which is hard and hasnt been done cleanly before. But another version of this story thats been running for months is that platforms like bitpanda have had direct access to IVV, micron and 10,000+ other real securities( actual regulated shares) available to retail investors in europe since jan same account with fractional amounts The tokenization is interesting because it extends access to defi rails and 24/7 settlement but the framing that retail investors havent been able to access these assets is only true in specific jurisdictions and contexts. European retail has had clean regulated access to IVV for years through normal brokers and recently through multi asset platforms that put it next to crypto in one login. What tokenization actually solves is the composability problem using IVV as collateral in defi protocols, settling cross border in seconds and running it through smart contracts which is diff than retail access to the S&P 500, which was already solved. will anyone use tokenized equities for defi composability or is this mostly a narrative play right now? submitted by /u/Personal_Brilliant39 [link] [Kommentare]

Everyone tell us how much you’ve lost over the years. Instead of all these posts about “I’ve gained X amount”, let’s make it real. And no, this isn’t a negative post. Some people losing 5%, 10%, etc will feel better. Lol. submitted by /u/BearDodle [link] [Kommentare]

Q: What is this? A: The BCH and XMR community are experimenting with exposing the naked shorting used by exchanges (famously Binance didn't even report their BCH reserves for a very long time - unlike other major coins). Of course, this is simply another manifestation of attempts to suppress p2p cash as outlined in "Hijacking Bitcoin" book. The idea is to regularly coordinate a day when the community withdraws coins from exchanges to on-chain wallets and suck up all the available liquidity, create an impact on the price & in an extreme case blow up a naked shorting exchange that can't meet its BCH/XMR obligations. Think of it like GME & Wall Street Bets for BCH, or the XMR community has a similar idea called "Monerun". This was discussed on Podcast episode 142 if you want to hear more. Q: When? A: Now. Any time during the window 0:00 - 23:59 on bank run day UTC time ideally, but if you miss the window slightly that's fine the day after still works. The bank run repeats on the 1st & 15th of each month. Q: How do I participate? A: Buy BCH on any custodial exchange (with any fiat or other crypto) & withdraw to your self custodial wallet. Then like this thread & leave a comment saying you participated. Any exchange that is easiest for you or crypto ATM or even any p2p trade works - as long as you are increasing your BCH held self-custodially then you are contributing to the pressure on custodially held BCH supply (which will naturally flow through the market). Q: What if I don't use exchanges / all my funds are in BCH already? A: Great work on living the p2p cash dream! You can still contribute by selling some goods & services on that day in order to increase your self-custodial BCH, as well as make noise on social media to spread the word to others! Q: If this is predictably repeated & publicly announced, can't people "frontrun" it by selling into our volume? A: Yes, but that's a win if they do. If BCH & XMR Bank Runs are popular enough to noticeably move the price, it's already working. If it's getting enough attention that new people are getting interested in the ecosystem & think about it regularly - even if they start out as speculators - that's a win. The curiosity of why BCH and XMR are uniquely acting like this will lead them to delve deeper sooner or later. Q: Anything else I need to know? A: BCH and XMR both have gained significant ranks in marketcap since this initiative began. Coincidence? Hard to say. Exchanges issues have been plentiful in blocking withdraws. The whole market is obviously a scam, but the good news is that bank runs is one way we can potentially uncover naked shorting activity. Keep an eye on the price & watch the price today & this week to see what happens (or distress among custodial exchanges). I will update this thread with anything I notice.

Recent reports suggest the Crypto Clarity Act is no longer expected to be signed into law this year. While this could delay regulatory clarity in the U.S., I don't think it necessarily changes the long-term direction of crypto. Institutional adoption, blockchain development, and global regulation continue to move forward, but clearer U.S. legislation could still influence investor confidence and business decisions. Do you think this delay will have a meaningful impact on the market, or is it just another short-term headline? submitted by /u/Mission-Stomach-3751 [link] [Kommentare]

Hi everyone, I have a question for people following the Bybit Global / Bybit EU changes for EEA residents from July 1. I currently have an active crypto-backed loan on bybit com, not regular margin trading. Does anyone know what will practically happen to existing loans after July 1 for users from Poland / the EEA? I am especially interested in the following: Do existing loans need to be closed/repaid immediately, or can they still be maintained? After July 1, will users still be able to repay the loan manually, for example by selling part of the collateral or using collateral for repayment? Will it still be possible to add collateral, make partial repayments, and manage LTV normally? If the loan needs to be moved elsewhere, what is currently the closest alternative in Europe/EEA — OKX Flexible Loan, or something else? I understand that the official Bybit announcement only says that access to “certain services” on Bybit Global for EEA residents will be progressively limited, and that users will retain access to their assets in order to remediate positions and balances. However, I have not seen a clear loan-specific explanation yet. I would appreciate input from anyone. submitted by /u/TomekGregory [link] [Kommentare]
