Not asking in a “laser eyes and destiny” kind of way. More like: after the hacks, governmental interference, hype cycles, rug pulls, comeback stories, ETF headlines, meme coin chaos, and Bitcoin doing Bitcoin things… are you still convinced this industry has a real future? Do you believe it actually solves real world issues?

If yes, what keeps you convinced?

If no, what changed your mind?

I'm in a financial pinch and need to liquidate somewhere

I have 0.105 Bitcoin and my Avg Cost is $101k (my dumbass bought at the peak)

I also have $21k in a Taxable Brokerage Acct in Index Funds

I need around $10k, which is exactly how much Bitcoin I have. Should I take the L and sell the Bitcoin or should I sell the Stock?

Also planning on buying back in once my work picks back up again.

Hey bitcoiners,

I'm experiencing decision fatigue.

I currently buy satoshis every month as well invest into a tech ETF every month into a TFSA as well. With what's going to in my country and the uncertainty about how our government (South africa) wants to regulate Bitcoin, I was wondering if adding an ETF or a stock in my taxable account is worth considering.

I get a bonus every year and don't know if I should add that to Bitcoin or invest in a global ETF or stock like asml, axon etc.

I'm considering this because the TFSA is capped at R500 000 for a lifetime then I can no longer invest in that hence why I'm considering growing something along side it so by that time I don't have to start all over again. My goal is to just buy and hold. Long term strategy

This is not news but I find it interesting that there are not that many comments regarding this topic. The earliest mention was from 1year ago.

At the current rate and based on how things work in Germany with it's current coalition in power, it seems like the abolishment of the tax exemption is just a matter of when and not if.

If I'm not mistaken, proposals can be presented during summer and would go into law the following year. I don't mean to fear monger but what are your plans if the tax exemption abolishment would come into effect in 2027?

Is everyone moving to Portugal or we just don't care?

I'm curious on everyone's (mostly germans I guess) thoughts.

I’ve been deep in crypto since around 2020 — like a lot of people, I got pulled in during the madness. The constant ups and downs, the late-night chart watching, the “this time it’s different” moments… and of course, the endless debates with friends and family.

One of the biggest influences for this project was actually my uncle — the kind of person who always has a new theory, a new prediction, or something he really needs you to understand right now. If you’re into crypto, you probably know someone exactly like that. That whole energy — the chaos, the confidence, the unpredictability — stuck with me.

At some point, after way too many of those conversations, I started thinking: this would actually make a really fun (and slightly chaotic) strategy card game.

So over the past couple of years, I’ve been designing Crypto Millionaires — a card game based around building your holdings, dealing with market events, and trying to outplay everyone else at the table.

The idea is to capture real crypto moments in game form. So instead of just numbers going up and down, you’ve got things like:
- Cards that hit everyone with “gas fees” at the worst possible time
- Market swings that completely flip the game
- Risk/reward mechanics like coin flips
- Meme-style cards inspired by real personalities and behaviours in the space
- It’s part strategy, part luck, and very much inspired by how unpredictable crypto actually feels.

Right now everything is at the prototype / first edition stage, and I’ve just launched it on Kickstarter to try and fund the initial print run. The goal is to produce the first batch (around 500 units), test the game properly with real players, and then expand it with booster packs and new card sets over time.

I don’t have physical copies yet — everything has been designed digitally so far — but I’ve put a lot of effort into the artwork, the structure of the game, and making sure it’s something people can actually pick up and enjoy (even if they’re not deep into crypto).

My background is in project and operational management, so I’ve tried to approach this properly — not just as a fun idea, but as something I can realistically deliver if it gets funded.

If it sounds like your kind of thing, I’d really appreciate you checking it out (and even just letting me know what you think).

Happy to answer any questions about the game, the process, or how it plays — and I’m open to suggestions too.

Thanks 👍
