mmh...  some stale fud in early in the morning....

Closed the CME "gap", not that I believe in this kind of thing being the utmost important.

Partially OT: I am still 'amazed' as of how fast things went downhill at SVB.
Wed stock at $267 and mostly flat
Thu, a gap down, then plunge with stock ending at $106.
Today-receivership, most likely a ZERO for stock holders, maybe a pittance.
Apparently , they have above 180bil of assets and close to 170bil liabilities, so maybe depositors would get close to 100%, but it would take a long time for those with more than 250K deposits.

starboard batteries fire for effect

This is the last chance to change all stablecoins for bitcoin. Many did it at $ 16 - 17 k but now it is still possible. Remember this when bitcoin will be $ 35 - 40 k.

A lot of people markets seem to have been predicting this type of Central Bank pivot.

So far it hasn't happened and I can't see it happening as banks are still not passing on the rate increases to savers, foolishly causing their own bank runs instead of protecting themselves.
Powell is also saying something very different than what these pundits are always predicting. He hasn't hinted at a pivot at all, possibly only a slowing of interest rate rises. He may well keep them at 5-6% for several years.

What needs to happen however is for governments to stop spending money they don't have (as THAT is forcing the central banks into impossible positions - just print more but control inflation? How?) and promising voters the world and stop pursuing fairy tale Greta Thunberg utopias that don't help to heat people's homes.
Stop forming this two party axis that is going on in the world and leading to a stupid Cold War scenario: The West vs China Russia Middle East (even Saudi Arabia and Iran are now getting along!).
End the WEF nonsense.

Central banks cannot stop that disastrous policy that is a large part of the inflation problem right now.

Get rid of the Neo-cons and multi millionaire billionaire politicians.

Or just continue and let BTC take over I guess....
 

I always say: if you don't make a decision, then a decision will eventually be made for you.

Not sure about the exact relevance of "cryptocurrency" to this thread.

I doubt that even close to 50 million Americans know what bitcoin is, even if some of them might own some.

Perhaps there are closer to 10 million American that might have significant exposure to bitcoin, and have some kind of actual clue about what it is and why they own it

Call me a pessimist.

There are nearly 400 million Americans.  how many of them are adults?  250 million, perhaps?  that's why the article is asserting that 20% of American's claim to have exposure to crypto.. whatever the fuck that is?.. anyone trying to assert that 1/5 Americans know what the fuck bitcoin is, even though maybe 75% of adult Americans have likely heard the word bitcoin.... call me a skeptic in regards to those numbers of supposed exposure to the topic of our discussion in this thread.. aka dee cornz.


I think that you could just summarize everything that you said Biodom as a demonstration/evidence of desperation.


Maybe there merely is a desire to incentivize miners to move their asses and assets to jurisdictions outside of the Estados Unidos?

we need to get to 6% we are are 4.57%

so .50 march 22
+.50 may 3
+.50 Jun 14
= 1.5 and 6.07% by Jun/jul.

We should be good for a zero or a cut after that. thats the jul 30 for a zero or a neg .25

after that who knows

Just the beginning.


Of course, each of us make choices, and sometimes we have a lot of expenses.. and we still consider whether and how much to invest into something that may or may not end up paying off (such as bitcornz)... in a deferred gratification kind of way.

I cannot know your situation enough to know whether $10 per week might be too much to dedicate towards dee cornz.. those surely are personal choices, and another thing if you engaged in a kind of aggressive buying of BTC of maybe $1k per month (or $250 per week) that might have lasted from around the time of your forum registration date, even until late 2021, you could have made quite a few mistakes but still have some cornz left out of the 18.5BTC (which may have had a total investment of around $65k) that would have been possible to accumulate under those kinds of conditions and that any BTC that you still hold could still have averages in price of quite a bit less than the current BTC price.

... But yeah of course, mistakes could have been made.. and yes.. a better case scenario would have been to have had been able to have had been able to have held onto those BTC... whether you did or not may be another story.. .. and surely personal stories vary.


yeah.. you are retarded.
