It's a pretty good strategy actually - buy what keeps going up and sell before it starts to go down. But try to do it in practice over 100+ trades!

As others have said re FTT, one country's loss is another country's gain. The US sadly is well on the downward slope (whoever is in charge) so other countries will pick up their multiple dropped balls and run like crazy. Also, lots of stock action going on in Bitcoin right now (trade US stocks...

Lots of dark market vendors know what they're doing with BTC so the one's you read about make all sorts of mistakes. The cops go for the low hanging fruit and with drug dealers there's always plenty of dopes! If BTC were as traceable as a Paypal/bank like payment there wouldn't be any dark...

Who knows, maybe they weren't up to the job? Anyway, the fact is you, and most namesless internet posters saying tether is a fraud have no skin in the game, and in your case have never used it, nor probably know how to use it (not having a go at you, just stating facts). Whereas Alemeda, who...

Exactly Pek, I agree with the above. Who knows why/where/what these days. Very easy to make something look like it came from X but Y actually sent it (and Y wants everyone to know X sent it).

Dice, listen to Sprout, he's taken the time to understand Bitcoin and its value prop, whereas I'm not getting the impression you have (takes 3-6 months of studying/thinking).

This Bitcoin bull market is likely to climb ever higher on a continued wall of worry from the media and Twitter. Multiple Bitcoin is a fraud type articles Multiple tether FUD articles Many multiples of it's a bubble articles, it's a double bubble, it's a tripple bubble Multiple it's going...

Exactly Pek, and this is why the money laundering rubbish about Bitcoin is so ridiclous, it's all done on a public blockchain so it's a pretty foolish place to commit big time crime. Throw in very sophisticated analysis of the blockchain by the chain analysis companies and it's not that hard to...

it was Bitcoin what did it! If only we had banned Bitcoin this would never have happened. Or If we had banned Bitcoin they would have just used something else. How about dollars! PS. If the US bans Bitcoin, the rest of the world almost certainly won't, and man how they'll run with it leaving...

Didn't take long did it for the new FUD to emerge - Bitcoin is the money of the KKK, the Alt-Right, domestic terrorists et al. Expect more of this rubbish, makes a good story and works the divide/conquer angle some more. The use of money if you haven't worked it out is apolitical...

Many people (large and small) buy tethers for all sorts of reasons. 1. Ease of moving dollars (in tether format) between exchanges 2. Safety (you'll like that one Pek!), ie if you think BTC will fall, sell BTC, buy tether until you want to re-enter BTC at a (hopefully) lower price 3. Tethers...

Pek Make sure you've taken a valium and/or had a stiff drink before reading this article - https://www.coindesk.com/tether-mints-record-2b-usdt-in-one-week By the way, I do share some of the concern many have with tether over Deltec Bank so I'm not a complete fanboi. Deltec/Bahamas etc is a...

I hope you're going to drill the company Pek, demand they tell you everything about their operations, their business plan, including any proprietary information and monthly audits.

007 and 123456(78) would be mine. Remember, BTC loves to transfer from weak hands to strong. In this case, the strong hands are sort of getting it from the weak in that his coins will sadly be lost forever, so slightly increasing the value of every one else's coin via the small fall in supply.

No, I'm not joking. You try handling billions of USD in a very well known company/product, putting on your website that you self report to all sorts of US agencies, DON'T report (because you're lying), and see if the Americans give you a pass, let alone armies of lawyers decending sent from...

Within a free market, with lots of competing and similar products, the majority of the market will use the best product available, and that's clearly tether otherwise they'd switch. So the market clearly doesn't share your view.

Yet the market disagrees with you hence the massive rise in tethers use and market cap over the last several years. But you know best Pek. You tell them! PS. Shorting tether seems to me to have a great risk-reward ratio. Upside capped not too much over $1.00, downside potentially $0.50+. Sp...

I've already confirmed this. The HF manager would wire 100m to the broker, use that fiat to buy BTC and then (hopefully) transfer out to their own cold storage. This assumes they just want to own BTC. If you look on Bitfinex there are 2 trading quotes for BTC, BTC/USD and BTC/USDt. However...

You seem to have imagined it though :D Anyway, 4+ years and counting for the tether implosion will be the final end of Bitcoin. Meanwhile both tether and Bitcoin, over that 4+ year period, go from strength to strength as the network effects get larger and larger. PS. I'm off now, be back in...

FinCEN is watching Tether very closely for one simple reason, from tether's website - Additionally, Tether monitors for and assesses suspicious or sanctionable transactions under applicable AML, Anti-Corruption, and Economic Sanctions Laws, as well as undertakes mandatory reporting to FinCEN...
