Wow. It is July already. FedNow should be working anytime soon. So we don't need crypto anymore. Just kidding 😂

2023-06-30 23:05:02

Many new litecoiners were born today 😃 interesting reaction a month away for litecoin's halving.

I should start doing the same, maybe not 3 hours, but starting with 1 hour would be great :)

2023-06-22 06:23:49

Bank of England could hike 50 bps instead of 25 today. Scary? Meanwhile, Turkey's 1000 bps seems normal. Powell didn't say anything yesterday. Let's see if he reserved the real thing for today or if he already gave up. Bitcoin above 30K, looking at 35K?

2023-06-21 22:48:07

So, now CBDC means commercial bank digital currency?

2023-06-21 13:01:21

The market today is waiting for Powell to speak again in 1 hour from now. And it is expecting him to be hawkish. He must explain why they expect more rate hikes than people want. He probably will say that employment is very strong and housing market overheated. Be careful.

2023-06-21 12:55:22

More than 30 BTC ETF fillings have been rejected. Why is the marking thinking BlackRock's one will be finally ok? Because BlackRock's history of approvals. 575 approved and 1 rejected. Imagine the crash if this one is rejected too. The SEC suddenly has the power now to finally break it all. Let's see if they have the "cojones"

2023-06-20 22:26:45

It is so difficult to be short BTC right now. But with all the institution adoption happening right now, and price has only go up from 25K to 28K? Something is not right. But if this keeps going and breaks 30K again then it could start to go crazy.

2023-06-20 10:56:44

#Bitcoin dominance finally above 50% again. Welcome back :)
I don't think this is the bottom for shitcoins. We'll see.

2023-06-14 18:21:41

Temporary pause? we already know the "temporary" trick, Fed. All depends now on Powell's face in the conference.

2023-06-14 10:00:02

Imagine if the Fed today pauses the rate hiking and then the markets go crazy but then it crashes hard because it was extremely priced in... Good luck today 😃

2023-06-13 16:21:01

I remember the time when some people liked Apple products. I still don't know why some people who like freedom, still like censored products, maybe because I never had an Apple product and I must be missing other great things? But I don't think so.

2023-06-10 12:53:22

Crypto markets are all red with heavy loses. But #Bitcoin is resisting well with dominance approaching 50. New bitcoiners are being born. Welcome! :)

I wouldn't recommend leverage unless you are a professional or know what you are doing. This is how 90% of people lose their sats. However, the only way to become someone who knows what is doing, is by doing step by step.

2023-05-31 09:42:04

You never sell #Bitcoin in exchange for other assets, even when it makes sense to sell like recently. Hold is the best strategy in the long term. Ok, yes, I know. But I sold at 30K and will buy it back at 23K and at 12K. No worries just with the gambling account 😃

Market crashed hard after debt ceiling agreement in 2011. What will happen now in 2023? We'll see very soon. #debtceiling

2023-05-28 21:24:36

The default is to not default. And kick the debt down the road. Next generation's problem. Or maybe it is just that there is no future, so who cares?

Just reading this headline... "ECB will be courageous to take needed decisions to bring inflation back to 2%"
Oh yeah. So courageous. I would say people that suffer the inflation each day are the courageous ones using their fiat currencies. They will be even more courageous when they use CBDCs. The future is for the corageous ones. Be courageous, like the central bank

It is cool. i like it is minimalistic and can be adapted easily. The only thing is that maybe it is too much of a reference to Lightning Network or zaps. Although this could be a good thing too.

The poorest suffer the most. They eat worse food and health issues increase. More deaths happen.
For middle class, they stop doing many things that are more expensive now, for example traveling or hobbies. More depression issues overall. Worries about the future, or about falling out of middle class into poverty.
The rich, they are not affected as much. They keep investing and are protected.

Don't believe my translation skills? 😅

2023-05-03 21:03:21

Powell said that banks are fine. "The US banking system is sound and resilient"
Let me translate this for you, what it really means is: get the fuck out of all banks right now and transfer it to #Bitcoin 😅

2023-05-03 17:21:23

Imagine the fun we could have in some minutes if Powell says "our job is not to save banks, but to control inflation" 😅

Good morning! Powell day. If you are trading today, think twice. Maybe it is a good day to just take a break 😅 It is expected a 25 points hike. Dump. But the key is if Powell mentions something about pausing next. Then we could break #bitcoin 30K for real. Stay safe!

Oil today is telling the economy is going to crash hard. It is in a vulnerable situation. The FED can kill it tomorrow. Will they do it? Or will they say to wait and see if more action is needed in the summer? They always say they don't seek a hard crash. The time has come to proof it.

The M2 money supply continues to decline at record speed not seen since the data started in 1959. And GDP numbers are knocking at recession's door. Brace position! It doesn't seem a soft landing to me. The Fed has a very difficult decision. Markets are telling them to pause at least. Best opportunity ever to hike and surprise to anchor disinflation because jobs and consumption are strong.

Yes. and it has been a long time without a big recession if we don't count the COVID one as one with "normal conditions". But the incoming one could also be still considered the "after COVID" one. But this time central banks cannot repeat the same mistake. Or can they? We will see.
