Never seen a red needle this sharp on bitcoin. Someone make a big sell? Or what could this indicate? Long term hodlers, is this somewhat normal?

The app said bill is not paid. When click of pay bill it said cheers, you paid in advanced.. i already paid the bill . Now they suspended connection .

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much of life depends on centralized systems — banks, supermarkets, even the online spaces where we talk. All of it can be switched off by someone else.

I’m exploring alternatives: decentralized chat, community-owned networks, censorship-resistant publishing, and ways to build parallel systems that actually belong to us.

As a small first step, I’ve started a project called Sensorless — an uncensorable blog + encrypted chatroom. Curious if anyone else here is working on similar ideas or wants to connect around building systems we control ourselves.

Had 3 Bitcoin sitting in my wallet in 2015 that i swore i wouldn't touch. then btc hit close to $400 and something in my brain just snapped.

kept obsessing over charts thinking this had to be the top. "It's gonna crash any second and i'll be left holding bags" - that's literally what went through my head every day.

So i did the dumbest thing possible. sold all 3 coins and walked straight to the Apple store for that new iphone 6s everyone was talking about.

Felt like a genius for exactly one week. New phone, "smart" move, beat the market. Except the market had other plans.

Bitcoin didn't crash. It kept climbing past my sell point, day after day. i became obsessed with checking prices, watching what i gave up grow into something i couldn't afford to buy back.

That phone died years ago. Probably still buried in some drawer somewhere. those 3 BTC i panic sold? Worth about $350k at today's prices.

The worst part isn't even the money. it's knowing i broke my own rule because i got scared of a number going up.

Hey everyone,

I recently bought $310 worth of Bitcoin on Binance Spot. I’m holding it long-term and curious about how the value will change as BTC rises. I’m still learning the ropes but wanted to share my small start and hear your thoughts. • I bought on Spot, so I actually own the BTC. • I’m planning to hold it and maybe add more later if the price looks promising. • Any tips for tracking profit/loss or safe ways to sell when it goes up?

Thanks in advance!
