Speaking of walls. I find it interesting that the 50k €-wall is harder to break down then the 60k $-wall. Is it because Europeans are better at building walls?

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51307868

I think there are subtle but meaningful sociocultural differences.

How many Americans vs. Europeans live hand-to-mouth?
How many Americans vs. Europeans find it exceedingly easy to get into debt and never get out of it?
How many Americans vs. Europeans can face an emergency expense in the ~10-50 mbtc range? (Fiat agnostic amount.)

More could be asked, but the final summation is:
How many Americans vs. Europeans can afford to hodl tight to their corn once they have some - bought out of "clear" (not encumbered) money that they can "afford to lose" or "spend only when it's grown enough"?

TL;DR: American fiat is the greatest fuel source for bitcoin, but I suspect Euro laggards provide stability.

I see some twitter reports that the $1400 stimulus checks deposits will be cleared on 17th March.



$400bil will be sent to the Americans from the total $1.9tril stimulus to the economy. If 10%, i.e. $40bil  makes its way into bitcoins, that would mean 701K bitcoins at the current price. For reference, the total amount on all exchanges including derivate is BTC2.35mil. So the fun will start from the 17th. Especially for the shorters!  Grin Grin Grin

There goes my last - for the informative post category (and bullish too, which never hurts).

“BREAKING: The value of Bitcoin and a raft of other cryptocurrencies fell briefly today after it was revealed a US financial authority – the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) – was investigating the world’s largest trading platform.”

"The value of Bitcoin fell"

Then came back within like 10 minutes. Congratulations CFTC, you made a blip.

The crash is continuing. 2021 is not going to be a good year for bitcoin. Can I get a "confirm"?

Confirmed.  We are on the cusp of a powerful inverse SUPER bearish spike.

The dreaded reverse bear double-flip! Also called Mill-Kill, because it makes a lot of new millionaires before plunging deep into the abyss. The new once millionaires for a day (or decade) typically kill themselves soon after the millions are gone, or just die natural deaths while the money is mostly still there. Sad.

Calling a friend of mine, big expert in science, bitcoin, maths - and incidentally camelidae! His name is Muhammad and his favorite member of the camelidae family is called Honey - though everyone else knows her as Molly. But I digress. He said "Confirm!".


He also added "Wait, Honey, sorry, I'll turn the phone off, promise! Come on don't be like that... bye Eddie, I've got an important errand.", but I digress again.

jaaaeeezus...that didn't take long.
Stimmy shitcoin airdrop just landed in my bank account. Thanx Joe . (Yeah, yeah, I know... money printer go brrrrrr...)

Well then,  just like back in 2017, when I converted all my free airdropped shitcoin to BTC.....

Good to hear. This dip fit in just nicely didnt it.

OW COME ON!!! Edging $58k is killing me  Cry

 Edging enhances the feeling you get when it finally blows.
It's well worth the wait.

Edging is one of the best inventions of humanity. Until you have been edged properly you really have not experienced a true ATH.

I am asking for BTC to be edged and teased with great care for days maybe weeks on end.  The spike when it lets loose will be the longest green candle ever done or seen in the history of the human race. Grin

In the mean time I may leak a bit and sell 100 USD worth. Much like a tiny drop of well you know pre ATH

I'm just not a big fan of #nohomo tags, but you, like, could, you know, have used one here, man.

Nope simple sideways with a slight uptick is best for all, but the shorters.  And fuck the shorters. How dare they play shorts.

- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test — The most accurate of all, slow, detects antigens (i.e., shows if you currently have the virus).

If memory serves, there is some controversy with PCR tests. Specifically, it will also test positive if you've had C19 in the past, as the dead tissue and cells do linger around for some time - is what I'm hearing. Maybe the antibodies even trigger a positive PCR test. Fuck. I dunno.

Maybe it depends on the length of the primers? If the snippets are too short, it must be hard to tell if they're enconding SARS-Cov-2 spike proteins or other analogous structures in similar viruses.

"Anyone who invested their $1,200 stimulus cheque into bitcoin last April would now have more than $10,000 worth of the cryptocurrency" Grin

That is just so incredibly awesome and shows how far we've come; what a wild ride

What's even more incredibly awesome is Forbes (again) publishing an article that sings praise to the corn in simple, clear, non emphatic words. After the "pioneers/cyberpunks" (that's us for the normies - let's leave it at that) and the visionary entrepreneurs...

Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the mainstream financial culture.

In Bitcoin We Trust?

....

All of which points to inflation not far down the road. Traditionally, this is a prospect that would have triggered an increase in demand for store-of-value commodities such as precious metals. However, technology has come to the rescue with an increasingly compelling commodity called bitcoin, a cryptocurrency based on a fundamental principle: its supply is finite and it has already been issued at a very high rate. That gives it a fundamental advantage in terms of trust over either tradicional currencies or stablecoins based on baskets of coins or assets which, as we have already seen, are very unstable.

There are more and more important players in the economy, from companies like Tesla, Square, China’s Meitu and many others; banks like Citi, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan; investors like Guggenheim or Paul Tudor Jones; or insurers like MassMutual, which have decided to take positions in bitcoins or offer them to their clients as a critical hedge against the possible devaluation of the dollar. This has encouraged a large number of companies to buy bitcoins, which in turn has sent the value of the cryptocurrency soaring. Let’s see what happens if a country decides to buy bitcoin en masse.

It’s very hard to predict where the post-pandemic economy is going, but there seems to be a growing consensus that bitcoin will play a big role in establishing its direction of travel. The reality is that there are no more truths or lies about economics anymore. To all intents and purposes, and particularly in the post-pandemic context, the bitcoin is a far more valuable asset to gold, silver, the dollar or the euro. A fact that many people, regrettably, have yet to understand.

OT: Me observing the second GME short squeeze/ bubble thingy...

No squeeze IMO. Just some old style hype, with the new business plan, new CFO etc.

By the way, I gave up any dreams of an explosive short squeeze, but managed to sell enough so I'm now playing with house money. Not a lot of dough, but it does feel smug!

according to WSB it's just a gamma squeeze.

You're right, and I stand corrected. I hadn't seen the spiky pattern of the previous (gamma+short) squeeze. Apparently, this time it's gamma only, and it's rather new as a phenomenon. A good piece I just found on Forbes lays it down in simple but accurate terms.

The Bearish BAT Pattern became invalid when it broke to upside. You know well that TA is Science of Probabilities.

Translated for newcomers, without the verbal subtleties of TA: "The BAT pattern is bearish if the price goes down, bullish if it goes up."

Having said that, this last year has clearly demonstrated where growth will be and what we as humans will prioritise and can't do without.
Certainly Bitcoin and probably not more stripclubs.

Well you never know. Cams and VR could achieve breakthrough results in personal entertainment. Integrated personal peripherals. The future looks bright.
