Massive change is coming to the world due to digitisation. In fact, few if any can comprehend just how big the change is going to be. Massive change is coming to the world due to the building out of the new virtual/digital economy. How can anyone not see this? Marc Andreesson said over a...

Stop it Curt because when the bears find out just what's going on in DeFi, they're not going to be happy. DeFi is why people like Dan Loeb are starting to deep dive into crypto. I'd say he's being forced to look, not forced by anyone, rather forced because he's obviously very smart and keeps...

Sierra Charts probably has 3-4 years of Bitmex data. They don't have much Binance data though. And what about contacting that exchanges directly, it wouldn't surprise me if they offer it for free, it's in their interests to do so.

Why not buck the trend buddy? Put on a short position rather than talk because you're talking with some conviction. Something in your view is worthless yet the market is valuing it around $50k. Lot's of money to be made there. In this game you get paid when you put positions on, not when you...

Stop it ZB, you're messing with the emotional narative that Bitcoin boils the world. The Bitcoin bears need something/anything to help them. The best one I've heard so far is Bitcoin is being used by Right wing domestic terrorists (most of them white of course!) so 'something must be done'...

The biggest bogeyman out there re energy use is the inflationary policies of the global governments. Those policies automatically equal much higher uses of energy across the board. This is why picking on Bitcoin's energy usage is not something many people in power should touch because doing so...

If you complain, of course not. The point I was making is simple - if people are so worried about Bitcoin's energy use, they must be worried about energy use in general. So - a) why haven't they done anything about it in the past, b) why have they suddenly jumped on the latest bandwagon...

Americans should learn from Galileo and his battle with heliocentrism, ie the world doesn't revolve around America.

Citi is doing what so many Bitcoin bears don't - they're not looking so much at Bitcoin rather the role something like Bitcoin is going to play in the new virtual/digital economy that's being built right before our eyes. When people do that, they almost certainly buy some Bitcoin (and maybe ETH).

I've never heard anyone complain about the use of tumble dryers and their excess energy use. Global energy use for tumble dryers is around 3-5 times higher than Bitcoin and there's a great and free alternative - hang you washing outside. I've also never heard anyone complain about the use of...

Just out of interest, if a trader has 2 accounts at 2 different brokers and wants to disguise his day trading so uses one account to get in, the other to get out, that wouldn't be wash trading? Assume he's done a trade, + 1 ES with ABC broker, and taken profits (or a loss) with XYZ broker, he...

Read this for some ideas of where we're probably going re the virtual/digital economy. It's basically what so many miss with Bitcoin. It's easy to dismiss Bitcoin if you look at it on its own. But that's missing the main point of the role something like Bitcoin can and will play in the ideas...

Open your eyes, this is part of the DAE (Digital Assets Ecosystem) being built as just one cog in the new virtual/digital economy. Prices of assets will rise and fall but all round commerce will explode so fast over the coming decade our heads have trouble understanding it at present.

I htinbk you'll find the reason they issued so much crap was down to the massive personal bonuses paid. And I'm sure that for most of them, those bonuses were far more than their personal shareholdings in AIG. Anyway, we can go back and forwards on Tether. But I'm going with the opinion of the...

The big difference is that Bernanke didn't have any personal skin in the game whereas SBF has billions of personal skin in the game. He's rumoured to have made $10b in the last few years. Just think of the lost potential if he'd listened to the Tether Truthers telling him anyday now Tether would...

Duke, if Tether was audited by KPMG you and the rest of the T-Truthers would only say they were paid off. You have a view that Tether is a scam and there's nothing that's going to change that. Also, Tether doesn't owe anyone an audit. People are free to use other stable coins, or none, Tether...

Here's probably the smartest and richest guy in crypto, Sam Bankman-Fried, on Tether. Note, his firms have conducted hundreds of billions of Tether trades, if not a lot more (so I think he knows what's what). Tether FUD was never grounded in truth. It was always the easiest way to tell apart...

Yes, because what you write is rubbish Duke. Here's Jason Weinstein, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson and former federal prosecutor said - "'Contrary to online speculation, there was no finding that Tether ever issued tethers [USDT] without backing, or to manipulate crypto prices,' said...

This is how stupid people are in the world when it comes to green issues. In the UK they're up in arms about a new coal mine saying it pollutes the enviroment and all that. But in order to build 'green' we need a lot of steel and materials and that needs coal. So wouldn't it be better to...

As scientists have been telling us (but few have been listening) - the race to get 'green' just moves from one set of pollution to another.
