From $7.8K to Over $1 Billion.

In 2011, this guy bought 10,000 BTC for $7,805.

He sat through every crash, every panic, and four brutal bear markets.14 years later, in October 2025, he sold it all for over $1 billion.That’s the kind of patience almost nobody has.

Michael Saylor says Strategy will never sell any Bitcoin but how exactly is that possible? What would even be the point of never selling? Doesn't that keep a black cloud over the entire Bitcoin community?

And how many chairmen and shareholders is he speaking for when he says "“We're not going to be selling; we're going to be buying Bitcoin. I expect we'll buy Bitcoin every quarter forever.”

I get that the dollar might be phased out within our lifetime being printed the way it is. If Bitcoin becomes the first base layer of money and possibly the only real money I see what he means when he says they're never "selling" but would that mean they're still open to transacting with Bitcoin in the future? Goods and services paid for with Bitcoin and no fiat garbage intermediary?

Obviously he steps down as Executive Chairman at some point. I'm just a humble pawn in the game but personally I don't see a reason to simply hodl forever.

Best wallet for coinjoin?

I tried using Sparrow but I'm far too late; the "whirlpool" option is gone since the servers got seized. I tried Wasabi and it gave me an error saying: "Some funds are rejected from conjoining" and I'm banned for two days but I'm not sure why; I never turned my computer off while waiting to coinjoin.

Are there any reliable wallets that do coinjoin on Windows or MacOS?

Anyone here borrowed against BTC in India? How does it actually work?

Hey everyone,

I’m curious if anyone here (especially from India) has actually taken a loan against their Bitcoin instead of selling it.

I’m trying to understand how this works in practice in India

Also, from a regulatory standpoint, it feels like a grey area. Crypto itself is allowed as an asset, but not legal tender, and lending against it isn’t clearly regulated yet.

For those who’ve actually done it:

  • Was it worth it vs just selling BTC?
  • Any hidden risks or bad experiences?
  • Would you do it again?

Trying to figure out if this is a real alternative for liquidity in India or still too early/risky.

Would love to hear real experiences.

How much is a good amount of bitcoin

New to all this and was wondering what a normal amount of bitcoin to have is? Are people just throwing 1k at this and calling it a day or do most people have a lot? And if so is there a maximum that you would consider unsafe to keep on an exchange?

Do Bitcoin gift cards on G2A actually work ?

I know G2A is very reputable for there gift cards and games but was wondering if anyone’s ever purchased a btc gift card or if anyone thinks it’s legit because I have no way of doing KYC at the moment the steps to receive the btc is

First of all you need to have a crypto wallet. If you don’t have one, you can use the one from P100.

When you have a voucher GMC, you need to go on : LINK

Enter the voucher code (32 digits),

Pick the desired crypto between 8 of the most popular crypto,

Enter your wallet address and click on redeem,

Why can I receive bitcoin instantly but can't send it right away after buying?

 I bought some bitcoin on an exchange using my debit card. The bitcoin showed up in my account immediately. But when I try to send it to my own wallet, it says I have to wait 7 days. Why is that? If I already own the bitcoin, why can't I move it right away? Is this normal or did I pick a bad exchange? Also I keep getting private messages from people offering to help me send it faster. I'm not replying to those because it feels suspicious. Thanks.

My income reached $256

Hello, Reddit, I want to share with you a story that changed my outlook on life. My college years were difficult, so I needed to find a way to pay for my education. It was hard to find something because it's difficult to balance studying and working. One sunny day, I received a message from a friend who suggested we meet up. We had a nice chat, and during the conversation, he told me about his way of making money on waltwhiteee. At first, I didn't believe him, but then I tried it, and now I make about $300 a day. Maybe someone will be interested. The post is still active waltwhiteee

[ SCAM ALERT ] Changelly was delisted from Bestchange after approximately 284 financial claims on bestchange ru and bestchange com, but is still allowed on the Appstore/Play store. How can we stop this?

My funds have been held by changelly for 5 years, my kyc status was verified also

but they continue to try to hold my funds. wont release my withdrawal for reason that they're asking me to provide a statement from the cellular company that i own the number

my number has been inactive for 4 years, and they said they won't help me if I don't provide the documentation

on reddit almost every day there are new posts from users that changelly is holding their funds for months and years

maybe i guess there are probably almost thousands of users who aren't included in the posts also

almost every platform,Trustpilot, playstore, and appstore contains fake reviews created by changelly

how can I file or report this case on google and the appstore?

i feels every day, more unsuspecting users download this app, lured by manipulated ratings, only to have their funds seized later. how many more people have to lose

Same day transactions ?

hello there, I'm not actually new to Bitcoin I've been buying and selling/sending it for years, but I've run into trouble recently. I've always done everything through cash app but recently cash app won't allow me to send anything. Every single time it's cancelled for my "protection". I tried kraken and it's got me waiting 7 days. coinbase blocks my transactions. I'm at my wits end here. I just want to buy btc with my debit card, then immediately send it to an external wallet. Should it be this hard ? am I slow?

I Lost a Bitcoin. Any Chance of Recovery?

Sorry in advance if this question isn't appropriate for this forum. Also forgive any poor use of terminology or confusion - I'm really not familiar with crypto.

More than 10 years ago a friend of mine who knew I was into the idea of alternative currencies gifted me a bitcoin. At the time I think the price was about $80. As I remember it, the gift came in the form of a QR code. I had no idea what I was doing but I believe I registered an account with MTGox and put the code in there somehow and that's where I left it. Later I guess MTGox collapsed and I suppose my coin disappeared. I haven't thought of it much and never really regretted losing it because I know that I never would have held onto it this long to see such a dramatic rise in value. But the other day I was trying to explain bitcoin to my kid and I told him this story and how I thought it was almost certainly gone forever. It got me thinking though; is it gone, or is there some way to track it down?

What helped you understand channel direction the fastest as a beginner?

I keep seeing newcomers get tripped up by the idea that a channel can be useful in one direction but not the other.

What explanation, diagram, or practice helped it click for you?

I am trying to keep the answer practical and easy to repeat for other beginners.
