Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I am simply putting up this fight till the ETF is settled today.

My eyes are red, strained and I’m tired. I was up late last night with all the drama. I don’t want to do it all over again but I am going to end up doing it.

Really hope this gets over the line tonight so I can stop being so fixated.

This ETF is huge for the next bull run, the capital coming in will melt faces. Come on Gary, do the right thing.

No. You will stay up and wait for the ETF approvals.

[True Myth]

If the SEC can't even use two factor authentication on X, how can they possibly be in charge of these important financial decisions?

Folks 65 and up are often considered unemployable due to lack of skills and mental/physical deterioration.  They often even have thier driver's license suspended.  

Meanwhile these are the folks running our government...

that's what tptb want you to think...

Maybe the government is ran by wealthy corporations that use thier money to influence representatives and outcomes to maintain thier power and benefit themselves all the while creating an illusion of freedom to the normal person.

Or maybe the government is ran by a super secret group of ultra powerful people who have everything planned out and outcomes predetermined for thier deemed worthy cause.

Or maybe the government is ran by an older generation of folks whose families have been in these positions of power for decades. Using thier positions for the personal gain of themselves and thier "friends".

Any of these scenarios or others I can think of have one thing in common... no one is looking out for me personally.  In all honesty, I really don't care what the truth is of who is running our government. In my years of life I've already learned that the only person who is going to look out for my best interest is me.  My only hope is to continue to focus on what is best for me and my family and work the social and government systems for my own benefit.

BTC is a piece of this for me and represents a chance to break away from shitty government backed currencies and standards.  It's looking out for me and my best interests.

I will stay up and wait til midnight my eastern standard time.  Tying to stay a bit ahead of buddy till then.

No matter what happens I will quit the buddy must not stay the lead fight that I am in.

although can't buddy be coded to zero posts.  or to count backwards?

I am up by 4 or 5 posts at the moment. But I am going off line soon and won't be back for 3 or 4 hours.

Is there a valid reason an "independent" government agency needs to wait until the last second of a deadline to make a decision?

In order to maximize fuckery and shenanigans?

They could have approved these spot ETFs years ago. Other than recently knocking out a few bad actors (and new ones appear all the time), nothing has changed in years.

No one ever asks the real question : "Why now?"

Apparently the Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF is accepted on the SEC website

Still waiting for official confirmation.

X

...and bitcoin promptly added a thou (so far).

The most recent fee structure...they keep changing those  :

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/10/the-spot-bitcoin-etf-heres-what-happens-when-it-starts-trading.html

Bitwise (BITB) 0.0% (after first six months: 0.2%)
ARK Invest/21Shares (ARKB): 0.0% (after first six months: 0.21%)
Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) 0.0% (after first six months: 0.39%)

There are a few of us no ones out there...

probally a long play power move from Black rock.
One day they will somehow fuck us even better than they currently are.

Jim Cramer said that Bitcoin is topping out in price so that’s another good sign. If there’s one indicator that is sure to tell you which way the market will head after the approval this might be it. We should be getting official word in about 2 hours now… Fireworks ready!

From:

Code:

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/01/10/bitcoin-etf-confusion-abounds/

"If the Commission declares a registration statement effective, that is reflected on EDGAR," an SEC spokesperson told me last week. "Any Commission 19b-4 orders will be posted on our website and then published in the Federal Register."

This will probably happen somewhere between 4 p.m. ET (21:00 UTC) and 5:30 p.m. ET (22:30 UTC). Bloomberg Intelligence's Eric Balchunas set a range from 4-6 p.m. Either way, that's the magic window.

It's going to be very exciting too see what the SEC decides. Our unprogressive country (in regards to cryptocurrency) and tax institution really could need a push from overseas.
