SEC Commissioner Peirce Says Market Is Ready for a Bitcoin ETP

U.S capital markets are ready for a bitcoin exchange-traded product, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce said on CoinDesk TV Thursday.

• The regulator playfully known as "crypto mom" said people are already eager to trade a bitcoin ETP, "and so if we don’t give them the natural way, which I think would be an ETP, they are going to look for other (less optimal) ways to do it."
• Peirce also pushed back in her interview against an emerging government narrative that cryptocurrency is a dangerous rail for terrorist financing. She cast doubt on the size of the alleged problem and insisted there was no way to ban bitcoin outright.
• Pierce said she looks forward to working with SEC chairman nominee Gary Gensler once the former MIT digital currency professor is confirmed by the Senate.

There are charts from other Twitter peeps, PlanB, Woo-something ... if all ChartBuddy did was post numbers, there wouldn't be much to censor. That and Jack Dorsey runs a full node.

It's more a principled stand.

There are some apps that run on top of blockchains, so posts are immutable. One such is discussions.app
There are still moderators, but they are opt-in, simply to take care of any legal issues. Anyone can run a full node still and see everything.

the kenya news is fake.

but soon^TM

It didn't make too much sense as it was.

Excellent scouting!

Mine was a 2400 bps V.42bis modem. Fun times. BBS, FTP, terminal stuff. My parents' worst nightmare (phone line occupied 24/7).

Yes, same here with the phone line until my mother foudn out, if they use the phone to call someone, I was thrown out of my modem connection ... damn in the middle of an "important" download XD...

i had a 2nd phone line installed dedicated to the modem. made those 10+ hour downloads much easier.

Trash-80 COCO > Comodore 64.

Absolutely. After my MC-10 I got a Coco, then a Coco2, and then a Coco3.

The only advantage the C-64 had was a built-in FDD, but that was half the fun... installing the 512KB memory upgrade, third-party FDD controller, and external drive.

By the time I installed Microware OS9/6809, I was rockin' with multi-user, multi-tasking goodness. Installed "Deskmate" a GUI-based desktop suite.

The only problem was that I had no mouse so I used a joystick to move the cursor. Shortly after that I decided to take a break from computers and come back when they were more user-friendly. That was with the arrival of Win95. It took a while to get used to using a mouse instead of a joystick.

My first 300 baud modem didn't even connect automatically.

You had to listen for the modem at the other end and manually flip a switch.

my 1st 300 baud had the acoustic cups you put the phones handset in.

--------------

EDIT psycodad beat me to it mine was a hayes i think, still have it somewere

On some bbs' you had first to convince some mum or dad to put the handset on the coupler when junior was at school.

Though to be fair, it was much easier for combined use with the captain crunch whistle

Euro-ATH imminent.

Nearing 40k €.

I think the pump is not because of rumors but because of this news: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-to-come-to-america-s-oldest-bank-bny-mellon-11613044810

nice catch, but they say that they are

plans to hold, transfer and issue bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on behalf of its asset-management clients

unless the journo made a mistake what is that ISSUE they are talking about?
EDIT: I did not see that this article was already quoted and discussed few pages above.

[dieselmeister]

almost ....

[Dabs]

All you guys talking about modems.. I think my record was something like 1 GB per week, as I was busy "couriering" data to other sites.. like ISOs.. you know, linux ones were much smaller back then.

[dieselmeister]

For awhile, back in the old modem days, I was able to tell if it connected at 56k or at 28.8k (or slower) just by listening to the whishy noise it makes, sort of like white noise with beeps. There was an audible beep tone that told me I connected at 56k.

On Wandavision recently, they used a modem and I noticed they made the effort to use the shorter tones that would have been appropriate to the time rather than the longer negotiation which came later.

Finally got around to watching Hackers last month. Definitely worth a watch.

Btw later I realized the guy from hackers was the actor from "Elementary", which was also a very awesome tv show.

"Buying for their customers", I think. On the blacvk market or OTC or on markets....

Novation J-Cat 300 baud one here, titty cups, ran it on the Atari 800 if I recall. I still have it somewhere....

The finance world is stirring with news, fake news, hints and innuendos. Interesting times indeed.

SEC Commissioner Peirce Says Market Is Ready for a Bitcoin ETP

U.S capital markets are ready for a bitcoin exchange-traded product, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce said on CoinDesk TV Thursday.

• The regulator playfully known as "crypto mom" said people are already eager to trade a bitcoin ETP, "and so if we don’t give them the natural way, which I think would be an ETP, they are going to look for other (less optimal) ways to do it."
• Peirce also pushed back in her interview against an emerging government narrative that cryptocurrency is a dangerous rail for terrorist financing. She cast doubt on the size of the alleged problem and insisted there was no way to ban bitcoin outright.
• Pierce said she looks forward to working with SEC chairman nominee Gary Gensler once the former MIT digital currency professor is confirmed by the Senate.

Oh well. NOW that the cat is out of the bag, they could be ready for an ETF/ETP. Just when we feel we don't need it any more.

An ETF/ETP could be an additional way for mainstream finance to manipulate the price. Imagine the fun they could have with naked shorting.

I suggest writing to our representatives suggesting the time is ripe blah blah, protect the small investors from shady exchanges blah blah, BUT only if the ETF/ETP is payable in kind only. No paper, just plain underlying sweet bitcoin. Let anybody try to short the corn then. They'll learn what a honey badger does when badgered.

no...wrong direction ... up, up, up...

I am with you. It should only allowed to emit "backed" ETF's...

I hope they learnt a lesson with GameStop!

I doubt it. Apparently Congress showed more interest in hearing the guy called DeepF_Value (the reddit poster who started it all) rather than shedding light on the shit that went on between RobinHood and one or more clearing houses.
