I'm trading BTC/USDC and there was a spike to 26000 causing me to sell several steps at this nice price, then buy back much lower. Was that only on my market (a large, established exchange) or did it happen everywhere ?

I think it only happened on Kraken and rekt a lot of short sellers on the BTCUSDC pair. But for you it did the opposite. What's the opposite of rekt? erekt?

This bear market is a test of our patience. 
Never despair we must survive for the bull run. 
Because after sorrow, happiness meets happiness.

... hashing should indeed be protected under the US 2nd amendment, i'll be waiting & ready to go. Until then, good luck trying to battle ESG FUD. You can try all you want to talk about how efficient BTC's electricity usage is, but it's a sisyphean task.

Here's the argument that will actually win:

People have the right to **physically** secure the property they value, regardless of whether it's using electric power or kinetic power. And it would especially be unethical to deny free people the right to physically secure their property using non lethal means like electricity.

Moreover, PoW represents a revolutionary approach to cybersecurity & digital-age warfighting. Not supporting PoW would be a national strategic security hazard. We are at a turning point in history, and we have to support #Bitcoin sooner and faster than our adversaries do. And the clock is ticking...

It's all in this thesis. You just have to have to courage to use it.

If we all buy bitcoin for USD now, bitcoin network will become very strong soon and we all become rich. So let's short USD (DXY) for bitcoin.

Here is my first Bitcoin Pie (Egg-milk Pie) For the Pie Baking contest. I Thought WO will like it.

Here is my submission:

Recipe:
All-purpose flour, sugar, salt, butter, Condensk Milk, 8 Big Eggs.
As I said, I am the worst at designing something. The topping was Toast powder and Souce.

Tomato Sauce and Condense Milk? I think i just slightly vomited in my mouth...

If anything, you've got my vote for a unique combination...

Wild moves these days.

OK I see what happened, what I was fearing could happen, it's USDC that has issues.

My exposure is quite low but that's annoying, I don't know what to do now. I'm following the SVB thing and it doesn't seem to be a fraud or even a big mistake that caused the problems, and most of the money should be recoverable.

edit : some time ago I had removed most of the ladder steps up for a situation just like this, so that if USDC crashed irremediably I wouldn't be left holding tons of it and having sold all my BTC trading funds.

USDC was prone to problems from the start I do not know why people thought it was stable and would be around forever. Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth investing in and stable coins are not stable they remain stable until people get bored and stop buying and then they collapse. I do not think USDC will collapse this time but in the next 5 years it will not exist. Bitcoin will exist and will be more stable because it is still around when USDC will not.

The tomato source is for Topping only. To design the Bitcoin Logo. I am the worst at designing/decorating something.
Condensed Milk And Egg were mixed. The texture was so smooth. Believe me; the test was excellent. I know it doesn't look good. But, It was good. BTW, This is the first time I baked a Pie without an Oven

Just learned that SVB CEO Greggie used to be a director at the San Francisco Federal Reserve. I don't think the Fed is able to walk away from this mess scot-free.

I for one am very relieved to hear that the top management at SVB could pay out their boni right on Friday. I mean does nobody think of the managers, working their ass off for us plebs and getting paid in peanuts for the hard work they do (screwing people over full-time is really hard work). If somebody is innocent, then it's them, it's the dumb peasants who expected to get the money out they deposited there who are responsible for this whole fiasco.

Some punter in a local newspaper posted a comment on the SVB story today which immediately resonated with me:

"Bank run, bank run, whatcha gonna do when they come to you?"

I think we are looking forward to a very interesting monday, maybe it will even go down in history as the Bank Run Monday 2023..
