I cannot really disagree with anything you said here, cAPSLOCK - even though you seem to be giving arguably positive press to scammer/shitcoiners
Hey... I'm just stating facts. Any interpretive bias you sense is coming from your own selfie. I don'tknow the future... but we all will once it's here. Easy peasy.

What a coincidence... I think I'm going to retire this year too.
Not exactly my timing, just the company is going under, due to stupidity of the bosses.
Hoped to retire next year, but whatever! My wage slaving days are almost over.

Bitcoin (BTC) has spent nearly 100 days above $10,000 — and if history repeats itself, further price gains could be astronomical.
As noted by various social media users this week, as of Oct. 30, Bitcoin was just five days away from trading above $10,000 for 100 days. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-just-4-days-away-from-historically-bullish-10k-price-recordguys, start your engines and prepare your popcorn in any case it will be a hopefully very exciting time

All 2020 I was trying to maximize my fiat returns so i don't have to sell btc at the next peak (2021-2022). The results are mostly OK so far, giving myself a nicer volatility cushion. Will sell btc at some ridiculously high number (for this stage, such as 350-500K) in 2021-22, but probably not at 55K.
Here is a tease: got an alt that outperformed btc by 1000% or even more since Oct 2017 (till now). What is that mystery alt? BTW, there was another with the same stats few mo ago- 100% sold that one already. Shitcoins can "work" if you don't hold them very long term. An intermediate hold-6-18 mo (or even few years) can work in your favor. Woonomic calls them "oscillators", which is very accurate.
I sincerely hope that @JJG would not have a spike in his/hers blood pressure while putting down such "revelations". Take it easy, it's just numbers, everything will go back to btc...soon, but not yet.

Brian Brooks got his start in traditional finance before joining Coinbase in 2018 and is currently the acting comptroller of the currency. In this episode, he discusses: ● how his background in traditional financial services led him to take a position at Coinbase ● whether the role blockchain and crypto will likely play in the financial future is being recognized at the federal level ● whether or not banks have always had the authority to custody crypto for their customers ● how he expects things to unfold in the coming years as banks begin to become more involved in crypto custody ● his thoughts on Kraken and others launching crypto banks and whether it will lead to the founding of other crypto banks ● how his office is pushing for a national fintech charter, and how it could affect less crypto-friendly states ● whether banks that work with crypto companies supporting unhosted wallets are prohibited from holding stablecoin reserves ● whether or not OCC regulations cover DeFi, and the regulatory challenges that open source protocols present ● whether he sees a time when governments and regulators participate in the governance of crypto platforms ● what roles he thinks public and private sectors, as well as commercial banks, should play in the creation of a central bank digital currency ● what stance the OCC might take around privacy in blockchain transactions ● how U.S. regulators can offer more clarity to the crypto industry ● and how he thinks the pandemic, its effect on the economy, and the government’s response through stimulus will affect the crypto industry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DW7Q-4e5n0 Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks on Crypto Banks

If anyone already posted this sorry, Im 700 pages behind. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-just-4-days-away-from-historically-bullish-10k-price-record"Bitcoin (BTC) has spent nearly 100 days above $10,000 — and if history repeats itself, further price gains could be astronomical. As noted by various social media users this week, as of Oct. 30, Bitcoin was just five days away from trading above $10,000 for 100 days. BTC price closes in on 100 days at $10,000 According to data from analytics firm CoinMetrics compiled by Twitter user Julio Moreno, after trading above certain price points specifically for 100 days, Bitcoin subsequently gained by an order of magnitude. For example, after staying above $10 for 100 days, it took just 122 days for BTC/USD to reach $100. After cracking 100 days above $100, meanwhile, $1,000 appeared in just two days. Looking at the difference between $1,000 and $10,000, the time period was longer — 150 days to crack five figures after trading at four figures for 100 days."

Those days definitely felt great. I was going through a particularly bad breakup with a business partner at the time and it got VERY messy but BTC doing it's thing kept me sane and gave me a nice little financial padding to navigate though uncertain times. I only sold a fraction of my stash but boy am I glad it was there for me. Let's hope this is only the start of things to come. Tell ya what lads, I see people here talking of retirement and the like and while I might not be whales like some of you (I haven't done too badly) I don't begrudge you at all. Happy for every single one of you because I know one day and one day soon I'll get there too. Enjoy it fellas, it's well deserved!

That is likely due to sanctions on Iran and the banks there, which are frigging 'cash poor' so maybe a workaround. I mean it IS Iran for crying out loud, they can tell you to do almost anything, it is how they work. Probably, easier to laundry money with BTC and a truck of fiat via another country than any other way to get fiat into an Iranian bank these days..just saying Brad
