The market is going wild today. I guess people are seeing the bad housing numbers and are ready for the government to start hitting the markets with stimulus again? Inflation isn’t even under control yet… This is 100% the worst financial state the country has been in during my lifetime. 2008 was bad but if you kept your job asset prices were a blessing. This time everyone is getting hurt by inflation and soon dropping home prices… Meanwhile the government debt is so out of control they will be forced to cut rates, further stoking inflation while home equity gets wiped out to pay for everyday items. Own nothing and be happy, or own Bitcoin and be stressed. LOL

I don't disagree with anything you stated.

But...one thing people don't realize, is that the Fed/Treasury is no longer in the business of printing cheap money for the benefit and investment of the U.S. and it's citizens, or any other established country for that matter.

That time is loooong passed.

They now print money (trillions of $$$) purely for foreign investment and capital expansion. Bush Jr. used to call it "nation building". Whatever, it is is simply injecting huge capital into a foreign country whose middle class is finally on it's way up and up, with the hope of getting major returns on investment (and swindling all the Average Joes out of their hard-earned savings in the process).

It's the world's biggest grift.

The last one was China, but now that has run its course and has imploded. Spectacularly.

This is why everything sux right now, and the Fed had to raise rates.

They are currently in between stages of planning and investment, but still have a LOT of excess money lying around doing fuck all. Which is why you see all the interim churn, and mega free money subsidies (aka ESG/DEI/Woke agenda) going to Hollywood and media rn. And to Tech startups with shit ideas that will go nowhere. And also propping up the banks.

India will be the next country to receive mega $$$$ injection, mark my words. It'll be like China was 10-15 years ago, but with India instead.

That is when you will see Fed rates fall again. They will then be off to the races.

Sure looks like it’s Ukraine that’s going to get the next infusion, or are you considering that is already happening? I would think India would be China’s target, along with Africa. I have a little bit different take on the US motivation behind these foreign investments. I think the US gives away so much money to other countries because they want to make sure more people are using the dollar. Sort of a sneaky way to print money and grow adoption without causing more inflation that the USD has benefitted from for 100+ years. This playbook will burn once the BRICS currency takes hold (could have been BTC if it could scale on chain).

Just a few weeks back @saylor was discussing #Bitcoin at MicroStrategy World and he was as adamant as ever that there is no second best. Today, we learn that MSCI is adding @MicroStrategy to the ACWI Index. To me, this serves as validation of Michael Saylor's Vision.

Many believed that his bold move would lead to failure, doubting the viability of Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. His early | audacious investments in Bitcoin have yielded substantial returns and Saylor's vision of Bitcoin as "digital gold" has resonated with investors, positioning MicroStrategy as a proxy for Bitcoin investment. This strategic shift has validated Saylor's foresight and transformed MicroStrategy's market perception | financial standing.

MSCI Inc. is well known in the global investment community and renowned for its critical decision support tools and services. MSCI’s indices, like the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index), serve as indispensable benchmarks in the investment industry, capturing a broad spectrum of global equities across both developed and emerging markets.

The MSCI ACWI Index is an inclusive measure of global equity market performance, encompassing large | mid-cap securities across 23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets. Its intended to give a panoramic view of the global equity market and stands as a critical benchmark for institutional investors worldwide.

MicroStrategy's addition to the MSCI ACWI Index places the company within a benchmark tracked by numerous global investment funds and ETFs. This will spur demand for MicroStrategy's stock as these funds realign their portfolios to mirror the index. The result? A potentially more stable investor base and reduced stock price volatility, and an increase in stock price courtesy of the index's diversified investors.

Index-tracking funds and ETFs will purchase shares to replicate the index, driving up demand. Additionally, the visibility and credibility that come with being part of a major global index can lure more investors, further bolstering the stock price.

MicroStrategy's success with Bitcoin serves as a powerful validation of Bitcoin as a transformative asset. The company’s strategy has demonstrated that Bitcoin can be a viable | profitable addition to corporate treasury reserves, encouraging other companies to consider similar moves. Increased institutional demand for Bitcoin via the Spot ETF’s further supports the case for broader corp. adoption of Bitcoin and Bitcoin derived assets.

Inclusion in the MSCI ACWI Index significantly boosts MicroStrategy's prestige and credibility within the investment community. It signifies that the company meets the rigorous standards of a globally recognized benchmark, enhancing its reputation among investors, analysts, and other stakeholders. This newfound prestige can also lead to increased media coverage and analyst attention, further elevating the company's profile.

The announcement of MicroStrategy's addition is a milestone event, almost S&P 500-ish in nature, heralding increased investment, a potential rise in stock price, and enhanced prestige for the company. Saylor's Bitcoin “MacroStrategy” shows the potential of Bitcoin as a revolutionary corporate treasury asset that should be central in future investment strategies.

There is no second best.

It's been happening for a good while. Hence the fuss when it started to be looked into. Probably the big turning point was the government changes in 2014 which some allege the US had some involvement in.

oh, my, ChartBuddy can speak now...run for the hills,

Haha. Oops. Chartbuddy has no opinion about the absolutely depraved corruption in The Ukraine. And he has no knowledge about its reputation as a hive of scum and villainy due to the "No droids allowed" policy.

I'll repost as me:

Hahahahahaha

Good one.  Get back at LoyceV for trying to sabotage the more or less (perhaps less?) future of "innovative" betting systems.  He deserved it.

I might have to employ an el duderino protest.. since I thought that I would have had won on 5/14 since I said down and it seems that the price went down.. but for some reason the opposite happened with my bet and I lost more than 300 points, even though I had only bet 100... Go figure?

The game is broken, or I got my facts wrong.

Even though we are not betting anymore and you got all these systems in place... I am betting anyhow... even though I got screwed out of my last bet.. the betting game sucks.. .  .. hahahahahahaha

crybaby

heres 300 WOmerits.. use it to get a pacifier or something. sheesh.

Wow aren't you Mr charitable to the max (in other words and insensitive BIG meanie).

Your imaginary 300 WO merits are not going to go very far in the "helping me to feel MOAR better" including and  or any purchases that I might feel necessary in such process.. such as hookers, lambos and blow.. I don't do dolls nor other plastic items.  I  am more "needy" than that, and most of the time, I can tell the difference between real and plastic (or rubber for that matter) ..

This joke is factually very misleading, especially since miners are not solving any kind of a puzzle.  They are guessing as many times as they can, and the first one to guess correctly wins the block reward, so in that regard, the more guesses that you make, the more likely you will win. There is no puzzle solving going on, except maybe how to set up your systems in such a way that you can guess more and faster than others who are trying to do the same thing.

Green dildo!!

Good to watch sell walls get eaten again, it's been a while, but I don't watch the price enough anymore to see that happen often.

Big miss on the retail sales and a miss on cpi

Observing 64k

not watching often but accidentally catching the action.... coincidence  

I can relate, since I say that to myself too.

 

Wow gone for a bathroom break and Bitcoin already $65K

That is how the cornz work...

sometimes.

and... 66

Truly a sign of the end times. I’ve never seen a bigger sell signal. The bears were right! Making it even worse, I’m going to beat ChartBuddy to say $66,000!!!

I agree with you there. The Joe Biden Presidency seemed to pick up where the Obama Presidency left off in Ukraine. At the time when Obama was setting this up and Trump was running for President, I had no idea how big the Ukraine agenda would become. No wonder they wasted no time pushing the Trump Russian hoax…

Whoa 
I really start to miss my "boring" days, when i was able to check BTC price every other minute.
Nowadys i come home - or come to rest at home - presenting half a day of price action to myself.
Like today.
Sure, it's exciting to see BTC has grown a couple of thousand dollars in fiat value, but it's certainly more exciting to watch the building of these candles in real time.
However, i'm not after entertainment so much, because i usually entertain myself, but i'm missing the constant wall observing on huge moves, and i missed quire a lot of them lately.
All my fiat powder is already fired away (for now), so it's even more exciting to watch.
I need to step back on activity

ChartBuddy gambling game, where you can bet on "higher" or "lower" within the 1st 5 mins of a ChartBuddy post.

That sounds fun Put me down for "higher" for the rest of eternity

you already beat the game  

Does anyone here have historic Bitcoin price data? I can find daily data, but hourly or even every 5 minutes would be better. The only hourly data I've seen in the past wasn't available for free.
The reason I'm asking: Your statement made me wonder if it's true. It always feels like Bitcoin drops more often than it goes up, but when it goes up, it's usually faster than it dropped. So I wonder if it would drop say 60% of the time, and go up for 40%. Or maybe I'm wrong, and in that case it would be nice to know for sure.
