quite limp if you ask me

Wall Street whale shark traders will often band together to mega short against certain firms/companies using high leverage, in an attempt to margin call them (and thoroughly embarrass them).

Nice to see BTC back above $42K as the week kicks off. Was looking like the price might keep sliding.

place your bets. will 40 k hold..

From what I've read about "in kind" vs "in cash" is that "in cash" has an additional intermediary which is licensed to buy and keep in cold storage the coins. This will increase the fees, that's why Blackrock insisted on their "in kind" model. But SEC obviously insisted to include also to add the "in cash" option in order to include other major institutions like large banks which don't have a licence to buy and keep the coins. This has nothing to do with derivatives. Now practically everyone can participate in the ETF's, which is even better. Of course, I'm not a financial expert, I just read carefully all tweets from financial experts, which I can't trust 100% of course. SEC concerns are that there will be no way for some company to issue fake shares with no real purchase, to keep the coins in cold, not hot wallets and that nobody on the chain would be able to sell custumer's coins without their knowledge. All this is very positive IMO and shows the real change of SEC's attitude towards spot ETF's. The last minute ammendmets is a clear indicator that the approval will be issued in less than a month, probably around the 8th Jan 2024. Gensler last comment today seems to confirm this expectation:

NEW: BlackRock modifies the structure of its spot #Bitcoin ETF to allow "Authorized Participants", mainly Wall Street banks, to create new shares in the fund with cash, allowing them an exposure to #Bitcoin even without a license to own #cryptocurrency directly

The great Italian director Federico Fellini has a stoning of a woman scene.  It is a perfect work around for

"He who is without sin cast the first stone?"   {credited to Jesus}

In the Roman Catholic religion you are born with original sin it need to be washed away by baptism.

So you get baptized and are sinless.
Next rule you are too young and stupid til you are 7 years old so you are incapable of sin.

So in Fellini's movie the town wants to stone a woman to death.

They give a rock to a 5 year old boy and he already knows to cast the stone .

So the town followed Jesus's rule "He who is without sin cast the first stone?"

10 or twenty people stone the woman.

Can anyone top this particular level of shameless?  

Thinking about how easy it is to still keep up with the WO on a daily basis. Even with a x3 from the bottom and the recent price action. We have seen nothing yet.

well it depends on what was the "biggest Technological Revolution of our Counted time."

Roman Catholic Church had a lot of power and wealth and did subsidize Da Vinci.  But frankly while Da Vinci did design some good shit I am not sure that was the "BTRCT"

In what ways was this so called "Christianity" responsible for the "biggest Technological Revolution of our Counted time." pray tell?
