No readily apparent change in the ETF flows.  If the bitcoin price is attributable to iran/Israel then it should bounce back after Israel bombs Iranian stuff within a day or two.

Read this in the news, perhaps good fuel for some extra demand once they become available:

WWIII couldn't have started a few days earlier before my buys, eh?

Glad I've got a decade long outlook on this.

Look at it this way - even if ww3 happens we know what the outcome will be so the only unknown is how long you have to wait for bitcoin to recover.  
My money says it will blow over in a day or three.  

I stumbled into some bitx today, so I really hope it blows over fast!

No idea how true this is. Without substantiation, seems a bit alarmist. I'd guess it largely affects those who don't use 2FA but who knows.

I also hope anyone here isn't keeping their assets on their phone anyhow, much less in Trust Wallet.

What's wrong with Trust Wallet?  My assets are on the block chain, not my phone, or ledger, or paper wallet.

Heavy sigh.  Your bitcoin is on the blockchain.  The keys to your bitcoin -- or the data to generate the keys, whichever -- are sitting in a file on your phone.  If your phone's OS is defective and allows other applications to peek at your keys whenever your wallet is opened (or maybe even when it isn't), then your keys are in the hands of whoever wants to write some code to do that.

I don't know why people trust their smartphones.  I might put a couple of hundred bucks in a phone-based LN wallet, but I'm not going to store any major amount on a device that is nearly continuously accessible over radio.

Good to know. I expected it was hyperbole. Seemed a bit surprising a day 0 exploit would be possible and not have been heavily exploited already.

Exactly. It's a common misconception.

"BuT bItCoIn Is UnHaCkAbLe!"

Yeah, but the 4 or 6 digit pin you've secured your private key with isn't.

Well, mine's secured with a 43 character password, another 36 character password, another nine character password, and being on a hard drive that I don't connect to a computer that is ever connected to the internet, but 4 to 6 digits is probably ok too.

It's not so much the pin or password, though.  A lot of malware (at least on desktops) hides in resident memory and scans constantly for Bitcoin addresses on the clipboard, then replaces them.  Among other risks.  It doesn't matter what your password is if your keys are on a computer that is online, and which might get infected with malware.  They don't just copy the wallet.dat file (or whatever a particular wallet software package uses), they try to scan active processes' memory for bitcoin keys.

Secure everything you can with a physical 2fa device. Such as a yubikey. AFAIK it's unhackable.

I don't have a misconception, you literally stated the assets "were on the phone" which is misleading on a topic that regularly comes up in this thread.  The phrases and passcodes existing and being vulnerable to a security breach of your phone I understand.

I'm not trying to be pedantic, and a discussion of the various risks of various wallets is always warranted, but that particularly loose language is extremely confusing to many people.

If 60k support fails it could go much lower.

HUGE!

I'd be pretty upset knowing I could have waited a week and accumulated an extra 15% BTC for the same price...But...Hey...I just look 10 years into the future and couldn't give two flying fucks.  Replace gold, real estate, bonds, stocks...Good-bye...Good riddance.  Feels good to leave legacy finance.  I'll run with it to zero with a smile on my face.  It's not about the Dollars and Benjamins anymore.  

Picked up your $69 today at a discount.  You'll never see it again!  Thanks!

It's a tool. If you want to sell for dirty fucking fiat into your retirement, it's a solid "What if" on what can be accomplished.

According to these calculations, I'll be a billionaire!  

I expect Bitcoin's CAGR to outperform for awhile but this seems a bit optimistic that it'll still be chugging at 10%+ by 2053.

I think that "retirement tool" is showing present value in $ for several different curve fits similar to the rainbow chart.  I don't know if any of it will play out accurately since it shows BTC hitting $10 million in what I believe are today's dollars which might be a little far fetched, even for 2050.  It's just a bunch of assumptions.

Still impressive even with a bearish model.  The most conservative one shows 0.5 BTC spinning off $100k in value for many years, and only getting down to 1/4 BTC in 2053 with total value still climbing.

Roughly. Depending on which model you choose it shows different CAGR. Look at their chart then coordinate with the boundaries you believe may happen. Then you can input your decided annual disbursements of your current stack to yourself as a living Standard in whichever year you wish to retire and follow the flow and valuation of your remaining BTC relative to USD through those years up to 2053.

Bitcoin continues putting in ATHs...

The way I look at the chart, it appears that there is a constant and increasing amount of investment in mining BTC.  Could one rationally make the analogy that it's like an investment in gold mining?  Investors are willing to spend a lot of money buying equipment to bring up a precious metal because they know that it's lucrative.  It appears that this graph is showing that investors are willing to spend a lot of money on assets to mine BTC, knowing that their proceeds are lucrative.  Am I off on this or is it a simplistic view?

Basically, more and more entities are finding it a lucrative enough proposition to invest grandiose amounts of investment and energy into mining Bitcoin. As they do so, they further secure the network and solidify Bitcoin's success.

It's a choice to adopt, power on, and secure Bitcoin. The graph shows huge entities doing just that.  

If you've ever got doubt, you can witness Game Theory in a chart.
