They always talk about an "October surprise" during an election year.

Trump gets diagnosed with Covid-19 right on October 1st.

His self-quarantine will last 14 days, and end exactly on the day before his next debate with Biden.

What an utterly...amazing...coincidence.  The odds. Roll Eyes

But will it do any good for him actually?

Now, that planB scheme is being widely criticized as unrealistic or even unscientific, the crowd will tend to become much less wild in anticipation...and then btc would outperform.
If everybody are sitting counting their imaginary funds at $100K or above by Dec 2021, it would NOT do it.

I apologize... I never stop doing that...  I also spend time counting at $500k, and when I have had enough beer I throw in some 0.05 XMRBTC to add a golf course, or small airport to the island...

Mmmmm the counting with big BTC-price numbers ..... Sweet

Dear shareholder,

We would like to inform you about recent developments within the crypto landscape.
We can cautiously conclude that the bear market of the last few years is over. This was characterised by large increases in a number of alt coins and a very stable Bitcoin, which is all in a strong historical level.


The future of Bitcoin looks bright. The block remuneration has already been halved for several months and traditionally we see the effect of this in the current months and towards the end of the year. As always, we are cautious about price forecasts for the future, but are nevertheless very optimistic given the past six months. Bitcoin's potential as a stable, reserve currency also continues to expand. We saw the company MicroStrategy for hundreds of millions of Bitcoin purchases. They decided after thorough research that it would be more interesting for the company to keep their cash reserves in Bitcoin rather than in fiat currencies such as US Dollars or Euros. You, as an investor in *****, made this choice a few years ago. It is good to see a listed company with hundreds of millions of passive capital making the same switch. In short, the outlook for Bitcoin and the entire crypto market looks good in our view.


This recent price increase within alt coins and stability within Bitcoin can be attributed to a new development within the crypto landscape with the abbreviation: DeFi. DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance and is a collective term for financial projects that use cryptocurrency. The innovative aspect is that these projects work together and that a link of financial primitives is formed. The emergence of decentralized exchanges that act as an automated market maker, allowing anyone with an ethereum wallet to switch between cryptocurrencies easily and securely, without the involvement of third parties, is a major breakthrough. The user himself can also make his cryptocurrency available for this exchange. He will then receive a portion of the costs that others pay when they switch between cryptocurrencies as a reward. If you make your cryptocurrency available in this way, it is possible to generate passive income. You can then demonstrate this availability and use it in other projects for even more passive income. A complex web of links and financial opportunities is emerging and evolves daily. This is truly a revolutionary breakthrough that we have actually been waiting for for several years, namely, the productive use of cryptocurrency in the crypto economy.

It is true that this is a very new evolution. The risks are indeed present. Mainly technical risk, where a system appears to contain errors and can lead to loss of funds. That is why we are in a difficult situation inside *****. On the one hand, we would like to participate in these lucrative activities. On the other hand, this could be too high a risk. What if such a project goes completely wrong and we incur significant losses? Since all the profits that would be made would go entirely to the portfolio of *****, we should also put all possible losses there. This scenario may be unacceptable to some shareholders.

With my personal capital I have been exploring this new sector for several weeks. We build up knowledge and we can also use this knowledge for ***** if desired. I therefore appeal to you, as a shareholder of *****, to let me know your opinion by e-mail. If you are confident in a further mobilization of the funds within ***** and would like to bear the extra risk of this, please send me an email at *****. You can also let me know if you explicitly do not want this activity to be used. I will then take into account the different opinions.

As always, your capital is in safe and responsible hands. With due diligence I watch over the portfolio and ensure that it meets the expectations of you as a shareholder. Hence the hesitation in simply increasing the risk profile of the investment.

I also have to apologize for the temporary malfunction of the dashboard. You may have noticed this in the chart above. For a while the price data was no longer displayed. This was due to a technical defect and has since been resolved. The development and maintenance of the dashboard is done by a freelance developer and this is not always available. Obviously, this defect has no impact on the value of your investment.

Finally, we would like to add that past results are no guarantee of future returns. This newsletter also does not contain investment advice.

Beste aandeelhouder,

Graag brengen we u op de hoogte van recente ontwikkelingen binnen het crypto-landschap.
We kunnen toch wel voorzichtig besluiten dat de bear-market (dalende markt) van de laatste paar jaar achter de rug is. Dit werd gekenmerkt door grote stijgingen in een aantal alt coins en een zeer stabiele Bitcoin, die al bij al zich op een sterk historisch niveau bevindt.

De toekomst van Bitcoin ziet er rooskleurig uit. De halvering van de blok-beloning is reeds enkele maanden achter de rug en traditioneel zien we hier het effect van in de huidige maanden en naar het einde van het jaar toe. Wij zijn zoals steeds voorzichtig over voorspellingen in verband met de prijs naar de toekomst toe, maar zijn toch zeer optimistisch gezien het afgelopen half jaar. Het potentieel van Bitcoin als stabiele, reservemunt blijft ook vergroten. Zo zagen we het bedrijf MicroStrategy voor honderden miljoenen aan Bitcoin aankopen. Zij besloten na grondig onderzoek dat het interessanter zou zijn voor het bedrijf om hun geldreserves in Bitcoin te houden in plaats van in fiat munteenheden zoals Amerikaanse Dollars of Euros. Jullie, als investeerder in *****, hebben deze keuze al enkele jaren geleden gemaakt. Het is goed om te zien dat een beursgenoteerd bedrijf met honderden miljoenen aan passief kapitaal dezelfde omschakeling maakt. Kortom, de vooruitzichten van Bitcoin en de gehele cryptomarkt zien er volgens ons goed uit.

Deze recente prijsstijging binnen alt coins en stabiliteit binnen Bitcoin kan men toeschrijven aan een nieuwe ontwikkeling binnen het crypto-landschap met als afkorting: DeFi . DeFi staat voor Decentralized Finance en is een verzamelterm voor financiële projecten die gebruik maken van cryptocurrency. Het innovatieve is dat deze projecten samen werken met elkaar en dat er een schakel van financiële primitieven wordt gevormd. De opkomst van gedecentraliseerde exchanges die fungeren als geautomatiseerde market maker, waardoor iedereen met een ethereum-wallet makkelijk en veilig, zonder inspraak van derden, kan wisselen tussen cryptocurrencies is een belangrijke doorbraak. De gebruiker zelf kan ook zijn cryptocurrency beschikbaar stellen voor deze exchange. Hij krijgt hier dan als beloning een gedeelte van de kosten die anderen betalen wanneer ze tussen cryptocurrencies wisselen. Als je zo je cryptocurrency beschikbaar stelt, is het mogelijk om passief inkomen te genereren. Vervolgens kan je deze beschikbaarheid aantonen en deze weer gebruiken in andere projecten voor nog meer passief inkomen. Een complex web van schakels en financiële opportuniteiten tekent zich af en evolueert dagelijks. Dit is werkelijk een revolutionaire doorbraak waar we eigenlijk al enkele jaren op zitten wachten, namelijk, het productief gebruik van cryptocurrency in de crypto-economie.

Het is wel zo dat dit een zeer nieuwe evolutie is. De risico’s zijn wel degelijk aanwezig. Voornamelijk technisch risico, waar een systeem toch fouten blijkt te bevatten en kan leiden tot verlies van gelden. Daarom bevinden we ons binnen ***** in een moeilijke situatie. Langs de ene kant willen we graag deelnemen aan deze lucratieve activiteiten. Aan de andere kant zou dit wel eens te hoog risico kunnen bedragen. Wat als zo’n project volledig fout gaat en we significante verliezen zouden boeken? Aangezien alle winsten die gemaakt zouden worden integraal naar de portfolio van ***** zouden gaan, moeten we ook alle mogelijke verliezen daar terecht brengen. Dit scenario is mogelijks voor sommige aandeelhouders onaanvaardbaar.

Met mijn persoonlijk kapitaal ben ik reeds enkele weken deze nieuwe sector aan het verkennen. We bouwen kennis op en deze kennis kunnen we ook voor ***** gebruiken indien dit gewenst wordt. Ik doe daarom een oproep aan U, als aandeelhouder van *****, om mij via mail uw uitgesproken mening te laten weten. Als u vertrouwen heeft in een verdere mobilisatie van de fondsen binnen ***** en hier het extra risico mee wil van dragen, stuur mij dan een email op ***** . Ook wanneer u expliciet niet wenst dat deze activiteit wordt aangewend, kan u mij dit laten weten. Ik zal dan rekening houden met de verschillende meningen.

Zoals steeds is uw kapitaal in veilige en verantwoordelijke handen. Als een goede huisvader waak ik over de portfolio en zorg ik dat deze voldoet aan de verwachtingen van u als aandeelhouder. Vandaar ook de aarzeling in het zomaar verhogen van het risicoprofiel van de investering.

Verder moet ik me ook nog excuseren voor het tijdelijke defect van het dashboard. U heeft dit wellicht in bovenstaande grafiek opgemerkt. Een tijdje lang werd de prijs-data niet meer weergegeven. Dit kwam door een technisch defect en is inmiddels opgelost. De ontwikkeling en onderhoud van het dashboard gebeuren door een freelance ontwikkelaar en deze is niet altijd beschikbaar. Dit defect heeft uiteraard geen impact op de waarde van uw investering.

Als laatste willen we nog meegeven dat resultaten in het verleden geen garantie zijn voor rendementen in de toekomst. Deze nieuwsbrief houdt eveneens geen beleggingsadvies in.

Fundamentally the market is scared for all the wrong reasons.

MEX did NOT get hacked. No traders will lose coins.

Futures exchanges will clean up their practices.

We'll see less volatility, less scam-wicking, more spot volumes, more organic moves, more institutional money.
https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/1311941304532627456?s=20

Meanwhile the on-chain fundamentals are showing more new investors are coming in than the mania phase of the last cycle (Dec 2017), without it reflected in price. This is because the unfettered trading games on derivative platforms is holding the price down.
https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/1311941306818555904?s=20

The CFTC just announced they are turning the volume down on unregulated derivative exchanges and their dominance on price.

BTC is going to pop.

Institutional investors around me really like the digital euro and central bank digital currencies (CBDC), but remember:

CBDC = IOU (debt, with credit risk, which can be debased).

Bitcoin = cash (bearer instrument, without credit risk, which can't be debased).

BIG difference!

If you mean with everybody, the atm 1% or less involved in BTC from current population, then yes we wouldn't get their.... But I see more and more growing intrest... If the model of planB will not work out exactly as he says is probably 100% accurate. But how he sees things, compare things and write them down, thats exactly what people need to see, to understand what BTC is compared with already existing assets and just the S2F talk is something that opens eyes imo.... Of-course BTC probably will not ride the model exactly, still doesn't take away that his point of view is a nice approach and good speculation...

Just throwing it out there that maybe Trump + wife don’t have covid & it’s a tactical play to help him win the election. Just an idea, either way he’ll be fine because he isn’t 80+ with moderate to severe pre-existing health conditions.

The timing is odd. Trump did say he was taking Hydroxy so he might just be taking over the news cycle so he can claim that he recovered fast w no symptoms due to Hydroxy.

Most likely he is completely fine and doesn't die of covid unless he is hit by a bus. That would be a coronasniffle death of course.

Im just glad he did have something actually dangerous happen to him like a snake bite.  Cheesy

Whatever, if he has it or not.... Trump has his cleaning vaccins so NP there ...

If you want to see data behind the upcoming decoupling of BTC from the stock markets powered by BTC's internal adoption, here's some @glassnode data. This is the active users of BTC after filtering for unique players (ignores multi wallet addresses belong to one entity).
