I know many of us are…but the average person has no idea Bitcoin is back at $50k. It’s the new “boring” level. If you were around the last cycle, the “boring” level was $10k. Back then the hype started when it broke the previous high (around $20k). If history repeats, the hype won’t START until we break $70k this time. I talk to my non-Bitcoin friends and they all are surprised to hear what’s going on. They ALL say “oh, I thought it was dead”. No one is paying attention.

5 years ago, I made an appointment with a financial advisor at Charles Schwab to transfer my traditional retirement account there. I only knew Bitcoin was this “magic” digital internet money and really wanted to buy some or at the least, incorporate some of it into my retirement account. During the advisor’s chat with me, I asked him what he thought about Bitcoin. He said, “Don’t ever use the B word with me or anybody in this office”. His face turned red and he truly acted angry and offended. I stood up and walked out. Later that day, I bought and read The Bitcoin Standard and dove head first into the video’s, podcast’s etc. Six months later I put EVERYTHING into a multi-sig retirement account and have never looked back - the BEST decision I ever made.

If ETF's are gobbling up 10,000 bitcoins per day and there are only 21 million, that means it will only take them 2,100 days to buy every single bitcoin in the world. It's game over for the retail investor.... bitcoin might never come back down to this 50k range ever again :( It's growing too fast. If you are not at a whole coin now, there might be a chance you may never get there :( It's growing way too fast...... and if you sell, the ETF's will just buy your bitcoin and never give it back. This might be the biggest cycle of all time :(

By @stackhodler on X All of your existing models for Bitcoin are based on data that is now completely obsolete. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. Your favorite chart squigglers and quad four enthusiasts are relying on data from a period of time where a TINY fraction of global capital had access to Bitcoin. Few people realize that everything has now changed. Historically, Bitcoin has never broken through the 0.618 fibonacci retracement level before the halving. Well, it just blew the doors right off that level. Market timing geniuses are left sobbing into their rapidly devaluing sacks of fiat, desperately hoping for a pull-back. Let this be a warning. It's the first of many models to be destroyed now that BlackRock, Fidelity, etc. are laying on the bid 24/7. Rumor has it OTC desks have setup makeshift boiler rooms to speed dial whales and beg them for sub-$100K BTC. Meanwhile TRILLIONS in investment capital sits frozen on the sidelines, unable to move for the next 60 days. Why, you ask? Registered Investment Advisors have a 90+ day waiting period before they can allocate to new investment products. RIAs are watching Bitcoin run, twitching like greyhounds in the race traps, waiting to secure a position for their clients. We are likely going to see RIA inflows hit at the same time as the halving. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy is rocketing even more than Bitcoin. It's up 63% in the past 3 months compared to 46% for BTC. But a MSTR pump is just a delayed Bitcoin pump. @Saylor will soon be selling more MSTR shares and buying Bitcoin with the proceeds. But that's not all... With this performance, there's a chance that MicroStrategy could end up in the S&P500. If that happens, MSTR will receive 10's of billions in passive flows from index investors. Much of which will ultimately flow into spot Bitcoin as Saylor continues his genius strategy. Bottom line: Even the hardcore Vanguard Bogleheads will soon be stacking #Bitcoin by way of MicroStrategy. Just one more thing that isn't priced in. As all of this unfolds, it's important to keep in mind how the Bitcoin price is actually set. It isn't tethered to earnings, new product developments, etc. Its price is only limited by the understanding of the people buying and selling. Some of us understand how scarce it is, and have already priced it at $1 million+ per coin. If the market suddenly shifted their views towards ours, there's nothing holding BTC back from going to $500K+ virtually overnight. What could make that happen? For now, most people still view BTC as a trade. Not the ultimate asset to accumulate. But as a thought experiment, imagine if a major nation state like Saudi Arabia made it clear that they were stacking Bitcoin with their profits. That they aren't looking to trade in and out, but rather create a multi-generational Bitcoin endowment. Perception would shift drastically overnight. Who would sell their BTC for a mere $100K when they know Saudi Arabia is going to pour in decades worth of oil profits? The same shift could happen if corporations, major billionaires, etc. started publicly denominating their success in Bitcoin. Jeff Bezos just unloaded $4 Billion in Amazon stock a few months after he was seen partying with Michael Saylor in St. Tropez. Did Saylor orange pill another whale? Who knows. But one thing's for sure: We're on a knife's edge. Only a few headlines away from a shift in perception that would bring drastically higher price levels. Plan accordingly 🐂

The nature of Bitcoin is that it's deflationary. It's worth is often measured in Fiat currency, most notably Dollars, plus other fiat currencies which are inflationary. To put things into perspective, as of today Bitcoin is at all time highs in Pakistan, Laos, Burundi, Malawi, Nigeria, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Cuba, Ghana, Egypt, Congo, Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Syria, Argentina,Suriname, Sierra Leone, Lebanon and Venezuela. Now during the earlier days 21 Btc was the "must have" amount, until that goal became out of reach due to market rallies and ofcourse Fiat inflation. I do believe due to Fiat inflation and Bitcoin deflation that 0.1 Btc is the new 1 Btc. Just to point out HOLDING ANY AMOUNT of Bitcoin, no matter how large or how small puts you ahead of those who hold nothing. Just my two Sats.

I've always loved the 'public service' side of ethereum that can be built (public utilities, governance infrastructure, insurance, etc). It's been almost 10 years since ethereum was launched, but the most popular apps still simply slosh funds back and forth. Wallets, storage, and swapping have been done -- I'm not interested in those. I've seen cool products come out that have garnered traction such as Brave, Audius, and Etherisc. Are there any other really cool apps/dapps that make use of ethereum in a public utility sense, outside of simply storing/exchanging funds?

And also... What if you transfer the Tornado tainted funds 50 addresses away from you until they reach at your exchange. Is it still considered dirty ether? I mean let's say a guy p2p trades with someone, who received Tornado ether 20 transactions earlier. What can be done about it? Either one of the trader can't just throw away their money. Or let's say 10% of all ETH passed through TC once. Shall we just burn it all up? How extreme are these sanctions enforced? Anyone with experience, like blocked funds for ex.?

My family member invested some money with a broker and when she asked to cash out she ended up with a relatively large amount of ERC-20 tokens in Atomic Wallet. She is not very technical so she asked me for my help, but I’m not familiar with ERC-20. I think I need to get it out of there and into a ledger that allows me to convert eventually to fiat; and I think to transfer she needs ETH first. I’m assuming that the ERC-20 gets converted to ETH at some point but please correct me If I have it wrong. Please advise and thanks in advance. Edit: Thanks everyone, it was a scam. My aunt lost a lot of money and hopefully learned a valuable lesson. I appreciate everyone's help and sympathy.

I believe many of us here are familiar with [Safe](https://safe.global/) (previously known as Gnosis Safe) Is there anyone technical enough to understand how Gnosis Safe smart contracts work when funds are stored there? There are billions stored inside these multisig smart contracts by large DeFi players like 1inch, balancer, gmx, chainlink, and even Vitalik himself. Say you have a 2/2 signature requirement, in the UI side it's a simple approve off-chain and one tx on chain. What is submitted on chain? Can we trust signatures being submitted on chain? Is it bad being a bit skeptic about it and instead deploy a smart contract which has only ON-CHAIN approval for funds spending? e.g in a 2/2 requirement, both parties must approve with an actual transaction on chain their intent to allow the transfer from the smart contract. ​

Assuming there was a large token drain after an attack and the consensus among everyone was to remove that transaction while keeping other transaction intact, I suppose there are 3 method: 1. Fork the chain at the moment before the attack and patch the hole, but all the transactions that were performed after it would be invalidated. 2. Same as 1 but roll up all the skipped transactions after it into 1 transaction and commit it to the end of the chain. 3. Approve, by consensus, 1 transaction that reverses the effects of the attack transaction and commit it to the end of the chain. Which approach with Ethereum choose and how quickly would it be done starting from the moment the attack took place? If it takes too long to reach a community consensus, would the recommendation be to continue using the chain like normal while the experts come up with a consensus, or assume it will be forked and wait till it's over to continue using the chain?

My application to go to Eth Denver was accepted. I'm considering joining the BUIDLathon, which I'm sure would be exciting and fun and good for my personal growth. But I'm hesitating, because it seems like that is concurrent with the conference. And I'm realizing that while I've heard a lot of people praise Eth Denver ("just go!"), I'm not sure what exactly they liked about it. I have been to NFT NYC a couple times and personally I found the ticketed events (panels and talks specifically) useless. I regret spending the money on those tickets. Is Eth Denver different? Is the caliber of talks and panels just so much higher? Or, like NFT NYC, do people really go for the afterparties? And how does the BUIDLathon fit in - is that the center of the action, or more of a sideshow? Thanks for whatever perspective you can provide <3

I'm setting up a multisig wallet on [safe.global](https://safe.global) (formerly Gnosis) to store my Ethereum long term. At the moment I'm thinking of setting it up as 2 of 3 signers: one hot wallet (generated with gnosis's own app) with two hardware keys. But it got me to wondering just how secure I would consider a seed phrase generated on my phone is. This obviously comes down to opinion, but: 1. Would you consider 3 hardware keys to be worth the hassle to secure all your holdings on a multsig wallet; or, 2. Do you believe a hot wallet generated by the Safe App to be reasonably safe enough not to worry about it? Interested in opinions here. Appreciate any insight. ​

I feel like most these YouTubers tend to over hype the price and are overly optimistic, this one channel I was just watching is talking about “100K BY THE END OF THIS MONTH!!!” Almost every video on his channel lmao. These people are straight up just trying to manipulate the price, with their “non financial advice” advice, and/or clickbait people so they get more sponsorship money. Do you guys have any recommendations on good channels (or sources for that matter, on any platform) to get real info from?

Edit: Because I thought I made it clear but I guess I didn't. When I say "No retail attention", I was meaning the completely uneducated, FOMO, retail fools that rush in at the last minute, lose everything, and sell out at the bottom. When this happened two years ago this was accompanied by daily news reports on crypto, constant stories of all those 'self-made kids and teens making millions on crypto', this sub flooded by new people asking how to get in, just uneducated, dumb shit. ​ ​ Back to the post ==> We are now within 20% of BTC reaching a new all time highest price in its history, which is absolutely insane when you consider the big picture. This price point, on the way up, was last hit around about October 2021 and I think people need a remainder oh what the state of the world was back then. It was basically mas hysteria as every man and his dog were aping into anyone who would take their money. Crypto was constantly on the news. There was a crypto advert in the super bowl. A real world F1 team had a crypto sponsor. Retail drove BTC to those ridiculous highs almost overnight. ​ And now, here we are again. Except this time we got here without the morons aping into it with borrowed, leveraged funds. In fact, without almost any wide spread news about crypto at all. If BTC continues the average climb of \~ £20,000 in 12 months we could hit a new ATH by about April-May. Can you imagine what the markets are going to do when THAT news hits the front page. The aping in will arrive like a bloody tsunami!

Also, I don’t think there ever was this much fiat inflation between any two previous consecutive all-time-high cycles. For instance: the high of 20k$ in 2017 was worth 22k$ in 2021, a gap of four years but still less inflation in that period. I suppose in people’s minds the previous all-time-high is still the symbolic milestone, no matter what it may be worth now. But this inflation adjusted price may still be a good one to keep an eye on. Interesting to keep that in mind when setting your hopes and deciding your exit strategies. UPDATE: [follow up post](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1au3h84/update_the_alltimehigh_of_bitcoin_was_69k_in_2021/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (now accounting for inflation AND increased total supply of Bitcoin). \*\*\* [Sauce](https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/) for calculations of inflation-adjusted prices.

TLDR: tldr; Bitcoin has surged to over $50,000, making it a $1 trillion asset again and pushing the wider crypto market over $2 trillion. This comes amid hype for a spot bitcoin ETF and a leak suggesting a Federal Reserve digital currency could be close. A bank analyst predicts a $6.9 trillion Wall Street earthquake could hit the bitcoin price due to potential inflows from U.S. 401(k) plans into spot bitcoin ETFs, with predictions of $50 to $100 billion in net inflows in 2024. Bitcoin's price is expected to reach $100,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2025 according to Standard Chartered's head of crypto research, Geoff Kendrick. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

TLDR: tldr; Research indicates that attacks on Bitcoin and Ethereum, such as 51% and 34% attacks, are now 'economically unfeasible.' The cost to attack Ethereum on Dec. 31, 2023, would have been $34.39 billion, and for Bitcoin, an attacker would need over $20 billion to produce enough ASIC mining units, which is not possible due to microprocessor limitations. Additionally, collusion with hardware manufacturers is unlikely and would face supply-chain issues. High electricity costs for running the necessary machines also make attacks prohibitive, leading researchers to conclude that the security of these blockchains has evolved to a point where the costs and risks of attacks far outweigh any potential benefits. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Going by Google trends, interest in Bitcoin has been growing again from Jan 2023 (when it was around $23k) from 41% interest to currently just 54% (when it's around $51k). That's 13% additional interest yet the price has more than doubled and is sitting just $13k from it's ATH. From 1st Jan 2016, interest in Bitcoin started rising and a new all time interest high in Jan 2017. It's price went from $450 in Jan 2016 to a new BTC ATH of almost $20k in Dec 2017 (11mths after interest had peaked). On the 1st Jan 2019, interest in Bitcoin again started to rise to an ATH in Jan 2021. It's price went from $3.5k in Jan 2019 to a new ATH of almost $65k in Nov 2021 (10mths after interest had peaked). **TL;DR** Theoretically if this cycle proves to be in anyway correlated, Bitcoin is still at the foot of a potentially momentous run of interest and price appreciation.

Hey all, So I got in the game around 2017. I made a bunch of investments in low currencies such as TRX, IOTA and BTC - Which I have held on in Binance until about 2019. In 2019, I purchased my ledger and have sat on my tokens until now, where I have close to 400k in profit that I am looking to liquidate and sell about 50%, netting an withdrawal of 200k. What is the first thing that you did when looking to make a large withdrawal? Lawyer? CPA? Just not looking to get screwed, I don't mind paying capital tax gains, as I don't need tax evasion charges. Thanks!

I swear they somehow are only buying at the highest price. Am I crazy? Every purchase has been at different times each day. Some as soon as 9 hours apart, 7pm and 4am, and others as much as 20 hours apart. But, in 5 days, no purchases have happened when BTC is at its lowest cost, almost every time at its highest. Are they maybe trying to mimic by BTC amount purchases when I setup the recurring buy? I am at a loss. I’d prefer to keep the convenience of the auto buy, but also I’m wondering if I should just start buying the same amount when I feel like it each day. Does anyone have any insight or similar experience?

While my story thankfully is over, the haircut I took because I "trusted" Celsius is about 27 cents to the current dollar. A 70% recovery of the dollar amount established at the depths of BTC this run. (And to make it very clear, I absolutely blame myself for this as nobody forced me to deposit my coins or keep them in there but me.) A costly yet valuable lesson and something I'd love to "pay forward". Yes, I can imagine we all want to earn interest on our Bitcoin if nothing else to just have more (we can't have enough). But the systems just aren't there yet. The lack of any sense of regulatory safety (dirty words, I know) means that coins are simply subject to their own TOS that can change at a whim and does nothing for you as a consumer No matter the "military grade" security or insurances, it doesn't matter when shit truly goes down. An apology and a "sorry we fucked ya" is all you will get. Personally, I would only ever begin to "trust" fully regulated organizations and even then, as a far as I can throw 'em. True, non custodial, true risk free interest bearing assets, imo, as of this moment, are simply not possible, in terms of Bitcoin. (So no, I'm not advocating for Bitcoin "banks", just saying that government backed insurance to me still carry a bit more weight, I'm not a total anarchist 😉) I've seen a few posts mentioning yield and staking on custodial services or CEX's and please, consider the risks. Take it from someone who fucked around and found out, ultimately, for the relatively small amount of money you'll think you make, it's genuinely not worth the risk.

For the 7ths straight year, I've formed a homemade Top Ten Crypto Index Fund. The 2024 Top Ten Experiment features **BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, DOGE,** and **DOT.** **SNAPSHOTS ALWAYS TAKEN ON FIRST OF THE MONTH (data below reflects 1 FEB Snapshot).** **tl;dr** * **What's this all about?** I AM LEGEND. I purchased $100 of each of Top 10 Cryptos in Jan. 2018, haven't sold or traded, reporting monthly for over 6 years for your reading pleasure. Did the same in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. ***Learn more about the history and rules of the Experiments*** ***(including why in the world I would include stablecoins)*** [***here***](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/about/)***.*** ***Learn more about the features in the 2024 Top Ten Experiment*** [***here***](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/announcing-top-10-2024/)***.*** * **JANUARY Highlights:** 2024 starts off all red. **ETH** (down -6%) best performing, takes early lead. In last place, **DOT** loses a quarter of its value. * The 2024 portfolio is **-14%** so far this year compared to +**11%** from the S&P500. DCA'ing once a year into Top Ten Cryptos for the last 7 years has produced better returns than if you'd done the same with the S&P 500 over the same time period (+118% vs S&P500's +44% - see below for details). * Repeating last year's friendly competition between Top Ten Portfolio and total market cap token **AMKT.** Down -5%, [The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token](https://amkt.com/) (**AMKT**) is out to an early lead. ## Month One – Down -14% https://preview.redd.it/j8iv258x5yic1.png?width=966&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3d2e4be0d69eda6dbc58dab77c1ee54d595c9db The 2024 Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Portfolio is **BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, DOT.** January highlights for the 2024 Top Ten Portfolio: * **All red month** * **ETH** slips the least (-6%) ## January Ranking and Dropouts Here’s a look at the movement in the ranks one month into the 2024 Top Ten Index Fund Experiment: https://preview.redd.it/srqjih2z5yic1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b43d8435545b726f22efdee52ff82eca94531b0 **January Winners and Losers** ***January Winners*** – None, really. **ETH** turned in the best performance of the group, falling -6% in January. ***January Losers*** – **DOT** lost nearly a quarter of its value (-24%) this month, underperforming the rest of the Top Ten. ## Overall Update: All cryptos in the red, slow start to 2024. In stark contrast to [January 2023](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/tracking-2023-top-10-cryptocurrencies-month-1/), this year is off to a weak start. Never a good sign when first place for the month is a stablecoin (**USDT**). **ETH** is out to an early lead, down only -6% in January, followed closely by **BTC** and **BNB**, both -7% so far in 2024. The initial $100 invested in first place **ETH** thirty days ago is worth $94 today. ## Overall return on $1,000 investment since January 1st, 2024: https://preview.redd.it/zyv6xwb06yic1.png?width=303&format=png&auto=webp&s=db2d40651580c8b5f8e73b4dcdfa57198e7c004c The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio lost $143 in January. The initial $1000 investment on New Year’s Day 2024 is now worth **$857.** Here’s a visual summary of the progress so far: https://preview.redd.it/z1d21qi16yic1.png?width=213&format=png&auto=webp&s=0da8ed9caecf4d6f5313c7ffb4f0d9c199f42206 ## 2024 Top Ten Portfolio vs. The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token (AMKT). The first Top Ten Crypto Experiment was started on 1 January 2018 in an attempt to ***capture the gains of the entire market***. Much has changed over the last six years, including the introduction of index products designed to capture the entire crypto market (instead of manually buying coins and tokens [like I do for my Experiments](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/announcing-top-10-2024)). Like last year, I’m running a friendly competition between The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio and [The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token](https://amkt.com/) (**AMKT**). **AMKT** is an ERC-20 token that represents a cap weighted index of 15 Cryptocurrencies (minus stablecoins) backed 1:1 by the underlying assets represented within the index and completely onchain. Since the index represents approximately 95% of the value within crypto, **AMKT** is an excellent proxy for the entire cryptocurrency market – exactly what my Top Ten Portfolios have been trying to recreate from the start. To mirror traditional index fund products, [**AMKT** is also currently providing a 5% APR match](https://amkt.com/), essentially creating its own dividend. Here’s the question I’ll be tracking this year: ***would I have been better off with $1,000 of AMKT instead of going through the effort of creating a homemade $1,000 Top Ten Index Fund?*** On 1 January 2024, $1000 was equal to 7.2 AMKT. One month into the Experiment, here’s the **AMKT** snapshot: https://preview.redd.it/2wmm6w336yic1.png?width=445&format=png&auto=webp&s=9442d7e0f16232bffd2a985d14f19f05c4959264 **January Performances:** * **The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio**: -14% * **AMKT**: -5%. The January monthly victory goes to: **The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token (AMKT)** For the more visual, here’s the table I’ll be using to track the friendly Top Ten vs. **AMKT** competition this year: https://preview.redd.it/b4b9tsx46yic1.png?width=808&format=png&auto=webp&s=4da13b8e1520a299a538b0ac83f08e1614c12a8e ## Combining the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Top Ten Crypto Portfolios So, where do we stand if we combine seven years of the Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Experiments? * 2018 Top Ten Experiment: down -19% (total value $812) * [2019 Top Ten Experiment](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/tracking-2019-top-10-cryptocurrencies-month-61): up +320% (total value $4,202) * 2020 Top Ten Experiment: up +426% (total value $5,257) (***best performing portfolio***\*)\* * 2021 Top Ten Experiment: up +112% (total value $2,120) * 2022 Top Ten Experiment: down -59% (total value $413) (***worst performing portfolio***\*)\* * 2023 Top Ten Experiment: up +47% (total value $1,471) * [2024 Top Ten Experiment](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/tracking-2024-top-10-cryptocurrencies-month-1): down -14% (total value $951) Taking the seven portfolios together: **After a $7,000 total investment in the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Top Ten Cryptocurrencies,** the combined portfolios are worth **$15,226.** **That’s up +118%** on the combined portfolios. The peak for the combined Top Ten Index Fund Experiment Portfolios was [**November 2021’s all time high**](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/tracking-2021-top-10-cryptocurrencies-month-11/) of **+533%**. Here’s the combined monthly ROI since I started tracking the metric in January 2020 for those who do better with visuals: https://preview.redd.it/bglr08866yic1.png?width=1098&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c7c0e15ea4fa170dfa68f9cfd2f33c0c1ede077 In summary: ***That’s a +118% gain by investing $1k on whichever cryptos happened to be in the Top Ten on January 1st (including stablecoins) for seven straight years***. ## Comparison to S&P 500 I’m also tracking the S&P 500 as part of my Experiment to have a comparison point to traditional markets. https://preview.redd.it/x6208ve76yic1.png?width=1076&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9e45637581052a14089667b0214839bbb9401db The S&P 500 is up +11% so far in 2024, so the initial $1k investment into crypto on New Year’s Day would be worth $1,110 had it been redirected to the S&P. Not a bad start to the year. Taking the same invest-$1,000-on-January-1st-of-each-year approach with the S&P 500 that I’ve been documenting through the Top Ten Crypto Experiments, the yields are the following: * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2018 = $1,840 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2019 = $1,960 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2020 = $1,520 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2021 = $1,310 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2022 = $1,030 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2023 = $1,280 today * $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2024 = $1,110 today Taken together, the results for a similar approach with the S&P: **After seven $1,000 investments into an S&P 500 index fund in January 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 my portfolio would be worth $10,050.** That is up **+44%** [since January 2018](https://toptencryptoindexfund.com/tracking-2018-top-ten-month-one/) compared to a **+118%** gain of the combined Top Ten Crypto Experiment Portfolios. The visual below shows a comparison on ROI between a Top Ten Crypto approach and the S&P as per the rules of the Top Ten Experiments: https://preview.redd.it/t7mbkpu86yic1.png?width=1256&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b49fbb5d0698e76532ee914abe3c5a78b5027da ## Conclusion: Not the best start to a year for crypto, but there’s an overwhelmingly positive outlook for the year ahead. We’ll see what 2024 holds for the Top Ten Portfolio. To the long time followers of the Top Ten Experiments, thank you for sticking around so long. For those just getting into crypto, I hope these reports will help prepare you for the highs and lows that await on your crypto adventures. Buckle up, go with the flow, think long term, and truly don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. Most importantly, try to enjoy the ride. A reporting note: I’ll focus on 2024 Top Ten Portfolio reports + one other portfolio on a rotating basis this year, so expect two reports from me per month.

TLDR: tldr; Recent on-chain data indicates a decline in retail investor participation in the Bitcoin market, despite its price surge above $50,000. Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a decrease in the creation of new Bitcoin addresses, suggesting less retail involvement in the current bull run. Instead, the data points to increased institutional demand, supported by the approval of spot BTC exchange-traded funds in the U.S. and significant activity from Bitcoin whales, with wallets holding 1,000 – 10,000 BTC adding approximately 249,000 coins in 2024. This shift suggests institutional players are driving the recent price movements of Bitcoin. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I looked into it and found an even more interesting (potentially big) fact: **Between 2017 and 2021, the total supply of Bitcoin increased** ***faster*** **than USD inflation**: * the total supply of Bitcoin went up by 12,8%, while * USD inflation went up by 10,5%. * This means that if we adjust for inflation AND the increased supply, the high of 20k$ in 2017 was "worth" 19,6k$ by 2021 (-1%). **Between 2021 and 2024, the total supply of Bitcoin increased** ***slower*** **than USD inflation**: * the total supply of Bitcoin went up by 3,8%, while * USD inflation went up by 13,8%. * This means that if we adjust for inflation AND the increased supply, the all-time-high of 69k$ in 2021 is now "worth" 75,7k$ (+9,7%). **Conclusion****: this is first cycle during which the total supply of Bitcoin has increased slower than USD inflation**, and we can reasonably expect this to be the norm from now on. Obviously, it's also fair to point out that there is no real rationale behind the all-time-highs of Bitcoin (so none of this really means anything), and that USD is not the only currency in which Bitcoin is being traded. This analysis is just for fun, but still interesting to think about, I think. \*\*\* I hope my math is correct, the calculations are based on these figures ([sauce](https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/charts/total-bitcoins)) plus the ones from my previous post: * Total supply of Bitcoin on 30 December 2017: 16,771,956 * Total supply of Bitcoin on 31 December 2021: 18,915,556 * Total supply of Bitcoin on 16 February 2024: 19,629,263

Stock markets hit new all time highs, now retail is jumping in. We also see crypto pumping, but we see no crypto ads, no taxi driver is talking about it, no family members are asking for crypto advices, no celebrities are shilling coins...yet. We see this pattern everytime: First the smart money/whales buy & accumulates crypto cheap, then prices rise, early investors hop in, then new ATH, media covers it, retail jump in aka bullrun. We're still in (late) accumulation phase, maybe we have a bullrun soon, maybe we will have some minor correction, who knows? But best time to invest is now, better now than never. PS: This time we have "ETF money" to join crypto, this is very bullish!

Edit: I mad ea mistake, HNT is up 550%. Trying to post his on a mobile browser is a terrible experience. Sorry about that! And LTC is down 27%. My god, where did I get this math? A few notes: Even though I tried to put $865 equally into each project, some were not exactly $865. Some were maybe $850, while others were $870, but the majority were closer to exactly $865. And the total of X and Y coins purchased might actually be off by a few percent because I rounded off some when adding it to my portfolio tracker. I also used many different modes of purchasing the coins to avoid getting hacked and losing it all, from eToro to Binance to Coinbase. Also, some were purchased a few days later but the majority were purchased on July 12th. Here is a [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/Z8PRNQE.jpeg) of my portfolio tracker. What I took away from this investment experience is: 1. Diversification is king. 2. This was a huge gamble. 3. I plan on doing this when the market crashes by 75%. 4. **I wish I had DCAed.** I honestly have no idea why I did not. There were times I could have bought the best performing ones at a major discount. 5. Reverse r/CC. 6. Due to a few kings (HNT, SOL... I know it is hated here, RUNE, and INJ), I was able to pretty much 2x my investment. 7. LTC what the hell are you doing? My advice to you: 1. Do not invest in any of the crypto projects that have already 5x or 10x. They will not retain their value. I have done this many times since 2017, and every project in my portfolio that has done 5x or 10x in the last year has fallen just as much during a bear market. 2. Funnily enough, even though LTC was my worst-performing one, it was actually the most resistant to price crashes during the bear market. At a few times, it was actually up tremendously %wise, but I never sold because the gains were minimal $wise and not worth it at that time, relatively speaking. So even though it was the worst performing, it is actually a good store of value if you do not care about long-term gains. 3. Seriously, do not buy any crypto projects that have already *mooned*.

The sentencing, scheduled for March 28, 2024, could potentially result in a lighter verdict due to FTX's plans to repay customers. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan will oversee the sentencing, with restitution playing a significant role. Despite the FTX collapse, the cryptocurrency market has rebounded, with Bitcoin hovering around $51,000-$52,000. The defense may argue for a lower loss amount or even $0 if all customers and creditors are reimbursed.

i feel like an idiot typing this. I was just checking my ledger wallet and saw an NFT recieved message for [stakeether.org](https://stakeether.org/). I went to the website as i did just finish staking my ETH and saw the thing to enter 24 word pass phrase. i stupidly typed them but didn't hit enter and didn't hit any buttons and thought to myself in my sleepy state to check what the internet says first. i closed the site and confirmed it was a scammy. i checked my ledger and 4.2 ether was gone. am i that much of an idiot that fell for this? did it just read my keystrokes? is there any way to reverse this. fuck i'm so tired from life and this is just the cherry on top. i was planning my cash out soon. ​ edit: thank you for the lovely comments, sarcastic, mean, or otherwise. here is some clarification and answers to obvious questions. 1) I took a 2 year + break from crpyto news purchases, everything to give me some sanity. i came back because i saw increasing articles on mainstream news about an upcoming bullrun and thought it was time to pull my coins from my ledger to my coinbase account. 2) mistake 1 - i didn't take the time to read up on recent scams. the nft drop about staking was just pure coincidental bad timing. that dude got lucky and got my shit. be honest and ask yourselves if you are aware of the latest types of scams. they are an amorphous beast. 3) mistake 2 - being bone fucking tired and doing financial shit. I should have gone to bed but told myself to get this one thing done and not have to worry about it tomorrow. well that was the mistake as i wasn't thinking straight. just don't rush i guess is problem i haven't solved yet. 4) scams are not just technical. I'm smart and you are smart but we all do dumb things if we lack exposure. the scam itself isn't just a technical thing but more psychological. if you think you can't fall for it you are wrong. i was overconfident too. 5) a cold wallet isn't as secure as you think. this gave me a false sense of security and it shouldn't have. the only positive is... 6) i didn't have my eggs in one basket. seriously don't have a single pile in one place. shit happens and backups are SOP. 7) it is just money but it's the loss of plans that sucks more. I believe we all have plans for our funds and when anyone looses a chunk of money all at once there is that realization of how much time you lost and not really money.

The Scottish company **The** **Glenlivet**, renowned for its high-quality whiskies, has introduced a unique collection of the beverage aged for 50 years, utilizing modern generative artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. AI was employed to create unique label designs for each bottle, symbolizing various elements of nature and time, highlighting the deep connection of the drink with its historical heritage and nature. This approach not only adds exclusivity to the product but also demonstrates the brand's commitment to innovation. 🌿 Each collector of the whisky will receive not just the drink itself but also a digital certificate of authenticity in the form of a non-fungible token (**NFT**), which verifies ownership rights and allows tracking the bottle's origin. This ensures a high level of transparency and authenticity of the product, raising standards in the beverage industry. Sales start on February 21, and each bottle will cost about **$43,000**, with availability only in the summer following the official release of the collection, making the purchase not just an investment in a rare drink but also in unique art. 🥃 This example of using blockchain and AI in the beverage industry underscores the growing trend towards innovation and offers consumers new opportunities for luxury investments. The Glenlivet's representative, Kevin Balmforth, noted that the collection symbolizes a look into the future and offers whisky enthusiasts a unique experience, emphasizing the brand's aim to create products that combine tradition and innovation. This reflects the overall trend in the industry towards using modern technologies to enhance the connection between producers and consumers, offering them more than just a drink. 🚀
