So Hamas uses BTC to get around sanctions, according to US /Israeli sources. Having had a quick peek around, it's not so reported elsewhere, mind. Pinch of salt, but it's not implausible. They are not hidding. They are making public calls for donations in BTC. You can find their Telegram channel in the article: I don't know if it's a good or bad news for BTC Gaza's Ruling Group Hamas Seeks Funding in Bitcoin to Combat Financial IsolationThe militant arm of Hamas — the de facto ruling authority of the Gaza Strip in Palestine — has appealed to its supporters to send it funds using Bitcoin (BTC). The appeal was made via the official Telegram channel of Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, on Jan. 29.
In his message, Abu Obeida called upon “all lovers of the resistance and the supporters of our righteous cause to support the resistance financially using ‘Bitcoin’ currency,” adding that an exact funding mechanism for transacting the crypto would be announced later. He continued:
“The Zionist enemy is fighting the resistance by trying to cut its support by all means, but the resistance lovers in all the world are fighting these Zionist attempts and are seeking to find all possible support for the resistance."
Abu Obeida’s turn to Bitcoin comes in the immediate context of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to temporarily freeze millions of dollars in Qatari aid — including $15 million a month to pay the salaries of Hamas civil servants — from entering the Gaza Strip, in retribution for a recent flare-up in border tensions between Israel and Hamas. https://cointelegraph.com/news/gazas-ruling-group-hamas-seeks-funding-in-bitcoin-to-combat-financial-isolation

Morning WO's. 2015 Chinese New Year was kind to BTC. It saw a 30% dump/pump on it's price. Now, mama bear: Ok new month now let's get a grip please people. We can do it in one big candle.
And daddy bull: One large green candle on the charts could change everything or be the start of another Simpsons episode.
Combined with the fact that: My return flight is booked <...>
And: <...> We are going to have a bit of an explosion, either up or down, or both, by mid April, and probably much sooner. <...>
I'd say we are set for one hell of a ride.

This guy hasn't posted in over a year, but he logs on every day and currently has the record for most time logged in to the forum -- by a longshot, too. Wonder what it would take to get him out of retirement.
Someone's got a script running.

Fidelity is going to be "disrupting the obfuscated nature of trading digital assets." Hardly disruption. More like reversion to SOP of TPTB. Still, I approve, because it is the condition of life to struggle and strive.

Just bought 0.06BTC which brings me up to a round figure (my stash) that I have been targeting for a while. Still going to buy during this sideways phase but happy to reach this number of coins.
I have my next target now but I don’t know if I’ll make it before it becomes too expensive to buy.
