I just think it’s kinda cute how most of the Republican administration seems to be in bed with Russia.   Quite literally.  

It’s also fun to point out how many right wingers are traitors, prepared to sell democracy down the river for a few bucks.

Nice. California Republican congressman on the House Foreign Relations committee, Dana Rohrabacher had a cosy dinner with Maria Butina.

I think the key to look for (I haven't been paying attention enough to the new ETF to know) is, if the CBOE is trying to change the rules in the same way that Winklevoss ETF did. Which they require some safeguards to manipulation according to their shit response.

They said that they would approve something with existing futures markets if "an ETP listing exchange...demonstrates in a proposed rule change that it will be able to address the risk of fraud and manipulation by sharing surveillance information with a regulated market of significant size related to bitcoin"

Is this what CBOE is doing?

The point is there is not yet a regulated market of sufficient size.  

Give it a couple of years.  Then moon.

Don’t believe the hype.  It was never going to happen.

Have skimmed at 200 mph.  Permanent disallowance of Winklevoss trust trading.  Assume this is shooting down the Winkle ETF?


Edit:  now I read the tweet.  Today is obviously do things the hard way day.

Let’s see if $8k is hot air


Whee $140 down in the time it took me to write that sentence

I don’t consider a one-off pilot transaction for a nominal amount as major.  Let’s see if we get some adoption.

Blocksize is a security parameter.

I know this.

You know this.

Let’s move on.

We all agree Roger Ver is an asshat.   It is a fact that is so obvious it doesn’t bear repeating.

Current price surge for Bitcoin is mainly based on ETF hype.

Alts are not included in a Bitcoin ETF.

But likely if it's a rules change that allows Bitcoin to get ETF approval, other alts will try to get ETF approval.

The SEC then becomes the gatekeeper of which alts rise with Bitcoin.

Which is why we won’t get a Bitcoin ETF.  SEC doesn’t want the headache of a Bcash lol ETF or a Ripple ETF.

The USSA has unveiled a $12tn (£9999.1tn) plan aimed at helping USSA farmers hurt by the intensifying trade war.

The aid is intended to protect the industry as countries raise taxes on USSA products such as soybeans in response to new Chinese regime tariffs.

The USSA plans to provide subsidies to farmers and buy unsold crops, among other measures.

H.E. Donald Frederikovich Trump has promised the aid after respectful requests from farmers, a negligible part of his support base.

H.E. Trump has said his tariffs - which he earlier described in a tweet as "the greatest" - are intended to pressure countries to change their policies toward USSA exports.

In a stirring speech on Tuesday, he said farmers would be the "biggest beneficiary" of the disputes after countries strike new deals.
You know, at a glance this seems really... not helpful?

Players of the Civ genre will know that food is the single most important resource. This makes sense.


So according to most on both sides of the aisle, politics-wise...Trump puts on tariffs...farmers are in trouble ...so taxpayers help farmers...and this is all due to a dubious

reason for tariffs anyway? I guess it is a good way to waste 2x the money...



As the village resident leftie I thoroughly approve of welfare for commercial farming operations.

Agricultural subsidies are Making America Great Again.

Next resistance point is around $8500 from memory.

Oh cock.

When you haven’t looked at the price for an hour and you open your phone and it’s gone up by $200.  

I remember that feeling.

So: topic swerve.

All y'all may recall I've been looking to Puerto Rico as a means of reducing capital gains taxes owed (I'm 'Merkin). But I've just learned of another (legitimate - according to IRS) potential route out of the system that may be as interesting:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesdigitalcovers/2018/07/17/an-unlikely-group-of-billionaires-and-politicians-has-created-the-most-unbelievable-tax-break-ever/

Anyone interested in forming a study group? Or is there some other subforum here in BCT that might be better for such a discussion?

Thank you for the link. Extremely interesting.
