BTC - Finally Taking the Plunge

BTC - Finally Taking the Plunge

By rah | rah | 1 Feb 2026


Since being burnt by Celsius I have been hodling USDC as though my life depends on it. However, Coinbase (thanks to new MiCA regulations) withdrew my nice healthy staking bonuses and there it was sitting dormant. I may has well be looking after it in my sock!

Just yesterday I wrote about how far BitCoin is likely to fall during this cycle and low and behold it hit the lower part of the range that most experts are predicting even though it has not reached the most pessimistic levels predicted. I decided to move decisively with much of my capital which actually moves me back into potential loss territory after being in profit for almost a year now. I do recall my research showing that a two and half fold increase is a likely outcome in the not too distance future

I am prepared to do this because I am in for the long-haul

I am still getting staking rewards for my free Solana (remember my race with LiteCoin?), Cardano, Ethereum, Atom and Tezos even though the latter two seem to be failing at the moment. So aside from my sudden decisive plunge into BitCoin the underlying prospects for my portfolio should show steady growth. It might not add up too much, but I also adding (and rebuilding) my stock of USDC by moving 50%+ of what I earn from Publish0x each month there with the other half going into Staked Solana,

Elsewhere, I think I will just throw my Band in the river and my BCH is almost at buyback levels unless I choose to abandon it and play safe by moving it into staked Ethereum

Short and sweet today and finally as always stay safe and well my friends.
