Bitcoin Price Tracking & Discussion -- 2025

[raiders72001]

We're at $30,000 right now. If the stock market happens to be going up when the next run starts, 5x will be easy for BTC, more for alts, and a ton more for something new.

[raiders72001]

See 2019 thread. We started at Jan 1st

$3,738.11.

Tron's new stablecoin, USDD has made an appearance in the top 100. Currently at #86 at CMC. Available at several places, most notably Kucoin.

After the UST fiasco, I need to find a new stablecoin - I don't like any of the market leaders, Tether, USDC, etc....

Bitty hovering around 29,000 now. Will it go lower? Like 25,000? I got the investment button on my computer warming up to push if it does.

You still buying if it blows past that and heads towards $20,000?

Got a little confused.

You keeping Bitcoin with the expectation it goes 5x from 30?


Then you mentioned ADA? It goes more than 5x?

Bitcoin goes up 5X from here. I'm keeping my bitcoin. Too risky to add to anything else right now in case the market hasn't bottomed. Bitcoin is the indicator and after that rises, it's time to start investing in major alts since they will be more profitable. After that, it's time to move into small caps since they will be even better.

Prior to the next bull run, a lot of coins are going to fail. You don't want to be caught holding a bag.

The Merge is going to be very important for Ethereum. It's scheduled for a couple of months down the line but there are always delays. ETH is going from PoW to PoS. There is a possibility of ETH decoupling with BTC.

Equally important perhaps eth flips the script on BTC dominance

[Myranda Jones]

Three I’m sure about incase shi* hits the fan; Bitcoin (transparent), Ethereum (high use case) and XMR Monero (Fungible and Private).

I think it will. More use cases as Myranda posted.

Far from a sure thing, but LTC could become a major player again with the privacy feature.

[raiders72001]

And we have to watch XRP and the SEC case. Another coin that can decouple. Until the last two years, XRP didn't follow BTC as almost all others did. ETH and XRP have the best chances of becoming independent.

ADA, SOL, DOT, AVAX, TRX, MATIC, ALGO. A couple will boom and a few will bust.

Tell me more, Raiders. Thanks.

Tell me more, Raiders. Thanks.

I will tell you more. All crypto is useless and will be nonexistent within a few weeks.

Buddy took a bitcoin transfer from Bovada to Coinbase. About 18gs. Has done many successful transactions previously. Out of the blue, Coinbase said his account is suspended and he has to move his coin to another exchange ASAP. Opened an account with binance but he's now terrified of losing everything. Has anyone encountered a Coinbase suspension followed by a demand to transfer out? Is Binance decent?

It's no problem. A lot of people get banned for gambling. Binance is great.

Now, however, the Litecoin Foundation is celebrating the activation of Mimblewimble via blog post . With its curious name, the module plays on a spell from the Harry Potter universe that forces silence through a knot in the tongue. Mimblewimble, abbreviated MWEB, is supposed to work in a very similar way for transactions with LTC.This is because MWEB on Litecoin allows the option to initiate confidential transactions. If the sender and recipient agree on a Mimblewimble transaction, the transferred LTC amount is no longer written openly readable in the blockchain of Litecoin. Technologically, this is made possible by creating a parallel chain for MWEB. Mimblewimble is designed as an opt-in, like Segwit, so it does not need to be used, but rather activated individually. Future MWEB wallet addresses will also hide their account balance on demand. Litecoin founder Charlie Lee found a handy comparison for Mimblewimble on Twitter . If you use LTC with MWEB, you move from a glass house to a house with windows and achieve 90 percent privacy. However, if one wanted to remain 100 percent private, one would have to accept a house without windows – and probably use cryptocurrencies other than Litecoin.
The Litecoin Foundation is now already talking about LTC as the first widely used cryptocurrency that brings privacy features and makes it easy to shield private payment transactions from the public. However, in the discussion on Reddit , for example, people rightly object that hardware wallets such as those from Ledger and Trezor do not yet support Mimblewimble for Litecoin. It is also open whether leading crypto exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase will get involved with Mimblewimble for LTC, as regulators are imposing more and more documentation requirements on them. In addition, Monero (XMR) is cited as the most prominent explicit privacy coin in the discussion.
Conclusion: MWEB for Litecoin – progress with limitations
Mimblewimble does not bring absolute anonymity – Litecoin Foundation and founder Charlie Lee emphasize this in unison. And how far the acceptance for LTC will flourish with MWEB also remains to be proven. But at least in concept, Mimblewimble is an important step. Because so far, basically all transactions with Litecoin (as with Bitcoin and most altcoins) can be openly viewed for amount and wallet address of sender and recipient. The often-circulated anonymity of transactions with Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies has long been disproved by a multitude of successes by law enforcement agencies who have learned to read the public ledger. Thus, Litecoin with Mimblewimble seems to be an advance that won’t do criminals any good, but will at least protect them from prying eyes of their neighbors.

+1 what Raiders said. Tell him not to worry.

"Mimblewimble" - yeah that will inspire credibility lol

[JIBBBY]

Bitty still stuck on 29,000.. Hmm? Which way do I go, which way do I go?

[k13]

Far from a sure thing, but LTC could become a major player again with the privacy feature.

Or be delisted by exchanges and drop in price.

XMR Monero is the King of privacy coins. The IRS hates Monero so much that they set an over $1 Million bounty on whoever can crack and trace it.

They also paid two companies $500m each up front to work on it.

I actually agree.

Aren't the Bitcoin maxis generally being proven correct these days?

BTC and Monero will be all that is ever needed. The former is the "legitimized" asset to hold (and borrow against, etc) and/or make large transfers with, the latter is the ultimate use case of "crypto" that one will be able to switch in and out of. Only if you are a John McAfee will it really matter that BTC is pseudonymous, that's why he didn't like BTC that much. But given the incompetence or effort required by governments to track people, that only affects large profile POI - which is not most people. And certainly in non 5 eyes countries it's a no brainer.

[freelee]

If it's completely useless why have you used it?

[BeatTheJerk]

You’re not familiar with his schtick are you lol, he only uses it as a way to transfer money back & forth from his offshore sports accounts.

[BeatTheJerk]

So for him to say it’s useless is actually inaccurate even for him.

Add something with smart contracts such as Ethereum.

And tell him to keep his bitcoin in his own wallet - "not your keys ....."

[themike78]

To be honest it is useless to 99.9 percent of people. It's only use for anything is to transfer money in and out of offshore books which I use it for. Do you really know anyone that uses these coins for anything else?

[themike78]

Looks like bitcoin will reach zero by Tuesday morning.
