    Rumors that #Apple have purchased more than $2B in #Bitcoin

  • neverscared1

    $62 billion dollars of commercial paper and IOUs, but nobody in the money markets has ever heard of them. Tether

    It's almost like they can't use miners as "commercial paper" junk collateral to inflate the bubble anymore.

    • Disaster just waiting to happen...neverscared
    • I posted about Tether many times here...
      It's not really commercial paper per se, but debt in exchanges that they artistically call "commercial paper" lol

    The seizure is the largest of its kind in the UK - beating the previous record set when the Met confiscated £114m of cryptocurrency on 24 June.

    A 39-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of money laundering on 24 June, has been interviewed over the new seizure.

    Cryptocurrency trading volumes decreased significantly in June according to data from Cryptocompare, a price and volume tracking organization. Volumes traded diminished by at least 40% month-on-month, with spot and derivatives trading both suffering due to the mining and trading crackdown in China, amongst other factors. The resulting volatility seems to have made many traders lose interest.

    ^Yeah, try to use indicators on a chart that's 95% flat...and 5% head and shoulders

    But sure, go ahead, use the best indicators the market can offer even when your entire strategy is "buy and hold"

    • you should click on the button labeled Log. You need that when dealing with exponential growthESKEMA
    • and indicators work just fine, they're not bound by your monitor resolutionESKEMA
    • Why? Exponential growth might be relevant to a pandemic context, but why for bitcoin?grafician
    • Also the point was bitcoin has no data. The chart is flat, says right there in the post, ESKEMAgrafician
    • bitcoin growth is exponential because of network effects. I tought you'd know this, pretty basic stuff. The data is there, just wainting for you to press logESKEMA
    • Again that is not relevant, this is just price data BTC to USD. So it had...2-3 moves in 12 years. The most boring asset in history.grafician
    • On the other side, IF you'd consider Bitcoin exponential growth, it's the most dangerous and volatile asset in history.
      The 2008 stock market crash was 20%
      grafician
    • So again, looking at this regular chart plot, it's still 95% flat and 5% an head & shoulders move in the last few months, in over 12 years.grafician
    • You gotta bring everything down to the basics as you said, this is bitcoin simplified for you, at the end of the day.grafician
    • So you don't need indicators, it only has about 2-3 S&D points, closest one is 30K, the next at about 19K, then into oblivion.grafician
    • Tradingview is fucking littered with idiots trying to over analyse BTC daily on the charts. Useless shit.grafician

    After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.

    Despite claims of “decentralization”, the cryptocurrency industry is controlled by a powerful cartel of wealthy figures who, with time, have evolved to incorporate many of the same institutions tied to the existing centralized financial system they supposedly set out to replace.

    and it goes on... good read.. makes sense watching the maller guy with his lousy maga hat

    Dollars are like cups, water is value. Fill the cups up. A dollar = full cup of water (value).... now print a load more cups.... you'll have to pour out some value to the newly printed cups...

    Eventually your cups (dollar) are holding less and less value...

    There's an unlimited supply of cups being printed, but only a set amount of value.

    Don't forget the only thing of value you have is your time.

    In a change of heart, The Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb now sees no value in holding a bitcoin. The former options trader said the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap is worth "exactly zero" and does not satisfy notions of it as a currency without government support, as a hedge against inflation and as a safe haven investment.

    "Few assets in financial history have been more fragile than bitcoin," he said in his paper, 'Bitcoin, Currencies, and Fragility,' published in late June.

    Another reason for his stance reversal is that bitcoin requires a sustained amount of interest to maintain it. In contrast, "gold and other precious metals are largely maintenance-free, do not degrade over a historical horizon, and do not require maintenance to refresh their physical properties over time," he said.

    Making a case against its status of being a hedge, Taleb cited the flash crash of March 2020 where bitcoin dropped further than the stock market and recovered with it "upon the massive injection of liquidity." That’s "sufficient evidence that it cannot remotely be used as a tail hedge against systemic risk," he said.

    • Taleb went 180 because of a twitter fight. He's doing it out of spite. Even went on to talk at a Bitcoin SV conference with Craig Wright. He's the fragile one.ESKEMA
