bfxdata.com shows USD swaps just jumped by 1.5 million to 30.5 million best swap offer now 0.4475 %/day
Beginner question: does this mean that it's now expensive to go long? Yes. And it means that a lot of traders on Finex are either a crazy gamblers or super bullish on BTC. Or more likely both. BTC swap rate demand is at 0.0016% (for going short on BTC) USD swap rate demand is at 0.175% (for going long on BTC) That's a hundred fold difference in interest rates. Incredible. Has it always been like this? It's almost always been like this. There have been a couple times that BTC rates went up enough to be worthwhile lending. I have no clue why people are lending money out at 2% APR on Bitfinex - as that assumes a very low risk of hacking/fraud/regulation/bankruptcy. I'd estimate this risk at least at 5% or more. Actually it's lower than that. It works out at 0.5% p.a. simple interest. Presumably there is no just no demand to go short on BTC. Not altogether surprising I suppose. Historically it hasn't been a great strategy. The interesting question is whether the dollar interest rate earned by lenders justifies (1) the various solvency/hacking/regulatory risks and (2) the opportunity cost of lending out the dollars rather than buying BTC. I suppose it depends upon your expectations of what BTC will do in the short to medium term.

12h macD freakin bad, i think testing 610-600 is pretty much inevitable at this point.
People are putting a lot of faith in that bid wall at $620 (or that buy pressure will resume, Stamps).

Well it's a bit different cause there was no big crash like when silkroad closed. November was my first bubble, and I started feeling really bored. Then price started to go up. Few dollars each day. Then like 10 bucks per day, and I was thinking 'holy shee!'. Then came a week when everyday I woke up to a new 3 digit level. It's the best feeling ever.

Then we will see $600 - $610 quickly.

LOL you need to stay away from trading. i dont trade lol havnt in a long time, my money is tied up in things too promising to sell. regardless of what btc does. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) im not sure i fully believe the willy report, btc is going through exponential growth, bots or no bots. its finally making out into mainstream use, which is going to pick up speed very rapidly. as more and more good news comes in, it will bring more. and people/companies/wealthy feckers will all start jumping on the band wagon once they realise that the "btc is dead" reports by mainstream media were wrong.. so wrong. so perhaps the last bubble was bots, or china, who knows, silk road before that, we probably wont ever know, we can only extrapolate what may cause the next one. which imo will just be a snow ball of good news and just general mainstream uptake of btc which will in turn feed on its self. im not a trader so dont shoot me for this one, but for the sake of possibly being right lol i predict we will see a boom, peek by the end of aug at the latest reaching >5k. then the ETF comes out and we see a second bubble no more than 2.5 - 3 months after the peak of the last and the second peaking by xmas. price per btc = ~12-15k between jan - feb 2015 with an ath of ~20k. wishful thinking? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
