I think it's being used as a proxy valuation for Binance. Same with the FTT token. People have seen the valuation for the Coinbase IPO (around $90b) and thought the other big-time brokers must be worth a lot more, so we'll buy their tokens. If Coinbase is worth $90b, then Binance must be worth...

I doubt any broker would let a retail client accept or deliver on a commodity contract for many reasons, the main being it's odds on they won't have a deal setup with an official warehouse (all deliveries have to be made to an official warehouse). And an official warehouse probably won't want to...

They'll all buy BTC at some time in the future and many won't even realise it...

Nah, she wouldn't have kept them. Few have any of the original Bitcoin left from the old days. And that makes sense, because you don't buy something at a few $ or cents and go through 4-5 major bear markets without taking advantage of the upmoves. Put it in stock terms. If you bought a big...

Most people get the Bitcoin pizza thing wrong. What it did was set the first proper price of Bitcoin. Before that, it was basically a worthless digital trinket. So Lazlo, the guy who spent the Bitcoin, will go down in the Bitcoin history books as a very significant player, doing a very...

Wall Street looks like it's getting roasted from both ends. The under 30s with a big time system gripe on one side (good luck to them), and left wing nutters on the other. If you go back in time and think about things, QE is where to look for the main blame, that's the foundational problem...

Exactly Vic, this is what makes it so interesting, the using of 'new tools' to fight. if we extrapolate this to conventional warfare, is that now pretty much dead? Why bomb and use traditional weapons when you can use new forms of technology to achieve your goals? Not saying that guns are...

With Bitcoin/Tether bears there's always a lot of talk, but never seems to be much action in backing up that talk :D:D:D

Yes, let's root for the elites over the little guy. It's tough at the top so cut them some slack! Let's support a system that allows large firms to short more than 100% of the total shares in issue of a company. So they complain about 'market integrity' but then where's the integrity in...

As someone said on Twitter - You all thought 'hate speech' was about protecting the vulnerable? Nope, it will be used against anything they deem hate speech (and if you think about it, this sentance could be hate speech, don't ban me!). If they're so worried about hate speech, why didn't...

Never forget this quote when you're thinking about the future. Look at the recent troubles in the West, they're all about shutting things down, closing this or that, erasing things - IT'S NEVER ABOUT BUILDING THINGS...

OK, that's nice to know Pek, you think Tether is a fraud (fair enough) but you're not stupid, ie thinking tether doom will lead to long lasting BTC doom. Let's see what happens, the next 6 months are going to be very interesting re tether because the debate isn't going away. Both sides make...

Pek, even if Tether implodes all it will mean is Tether disappears (only to be replaced with other Stable coins that will do a better job at managing everything especially re regulation). Bitcoin in the larger scheme of things will keep chugging along like it successfully has for 12 or so...

Maybe for the clients as well as they're getting better prices. Market makers lose with toxic flow (on balance), retail is not toxic and never will be so bid-offer prices ONLY for retail can be tighter/better than for large potentially toxic customers/flow. Selling flow to Citadel is...

Faketoshi has lost it, he's gone mad and double Cult on everyone. Empty threats from a discredited nutter.

I'm with ya J-arb. DeFi has a long way to go though, it's still experimental to a certain degree but the seeds have very much been planted and they're looking VERY healthy. No doubt there will be some monkey business and upsets over the coming years (they always are when money is involved) but...

Land of the Free! One country's loss is anothers gain so the rest of the world will run likely run with it, and run hard. The US has to be very careful re regulations in the crypto sphere. Too much will be to their detriment. Asia has been eating the US for lunch over the last decade+ and...

I just read the book on Jim Simons, excellent read. What's interesting is this under-performing fund looks to be their longer term one, taking positions for weeks/months. The short term fund (positions held for hours/a day) has been closed to new investment for years, and that fund is the...

Governments have to learn to work with Bitcoin and the Digital Assets Ecosystem (DAE). Those that try to hinder it will be made to look like fools. Plus, every government these days needs every bit of potential growth/jobs it can get...

Facts like this get in the way of the good ol' scare stories. Bitcoin is only used by criminals - we must do something! We're all going to die because domestic terrorists are using Bitcoin - we must do something! Bitcoin was used to try and overthrow the US government - we must do something...
