Hmm... and now a retraction of the retraction? https://www.wsj.com/articles/signature-bank-new-york-community-bancorp-flagstar-bank-crypto-barney-frank-fdic-9b825e2e?st=y95l6439717zj3v&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Barney Frank Was Right About Signature Bank
The FDIC all but confirms it closed the bank over crypto.

The article is an opinion piece (and clearly labeled as such) by the WSJ Editorial Board. I am pleasantly surprised by the cut-through-the-bullshit attitude - my doubtful and bitter haiku notwithstanding.

Can't believe the news
Wall Street Journal or Reuters
Shitposters at heart?

Mainstrream newspapers will feed ya
As much crap as big "social" media.
They're almost as bitter
As Youtube and Twitter
In their nasty attempts to mislead ya.

Secret hat club - We keep out hats in our hearts.

Oh yeah, no offense to the amazing haberdasher who created my hat, I would request my removal from the formal "hat gang".

I'll always love my hat, but it's something I've had to sadly place in my trophy case, as a memory of a better time.

Seems to be resistance at $28,4xx

The FED releases CPI tomorrow, they might have to pause rate hikes due to the mess the banking system is in. If they pause or increase rates by 25 bps, I expect us to break $29,000 and who knows, maybe break $30,000 for the first time in what feels like forever. If they increase by 50 bps or more we might dump, stocks would tank too.

Obviously long term meh, who cares, the $ is trending to 0 & bitcoin is the future but short term we like to pump so hoping for a good day tomorrow.

Bitcoin is sitting at 28,300$ and it looks like it will test 28400$ for the 4th time this week… will break through today…or go lower is anyones guess.

I think higher today…

I have a source that swears it will be +0.25%

He is a recently retired banker.

Ie smart enough to leave his bank in 2022 as rates rose.

I would agree with +0.25% if if wasn’t for the bank debacle unraveling…
Get your popcorn… things are gonna get nuts whatever happens imo

Part of me wants them to make a bold ballsy +0.5% or even a +0.75%. and wait for it

" it fails bigly."  It would be a wild time indeed if that happens.

[El duderino_]

A very very very
Off topic thing…..

I do not smoke….. I do sport (CrossFit a lot), but I also like my fine dinner and parties from time to time…. Some in here will know…
Now this party thing goes accompanied by things not always good for health but I’m aware of those….
Question what I don’t know …………. I did some “vape” use on the Parties which evolved to using vape’s in normal weeks as well…. Is this damaging or not “grey area” imo ….
Who can tell me something more about if vapes are bad or not (could easily quit them)

Vaping saved me from real cigarettes (and cigars too).
I felt the benefits the very same day! No funny breathing wheezes in bed.

Vaping isn't proven to be harmless, but if it has any effects, they are subtle and not apparent in short timeframes.
I'd say: if it isn't addictive for you (e.g. it contains no nicotine, or there is nicotine but you only do a few puffs now and then), it's safe enough. Just a bit of common sense will go a long way IMHO.
