Yep, EVs are 415V 3-phase, so definitely lethal. I wonder if they have earth leakage detection, like most home wiring circuits, to prevent accidental electrocution? Even if they do, you could probably get around this by sitting inside the car. Car tyres are a good earth insulator. ;)

Unfortunately, this type of financial wizardry is all too common, even in the regulated world. The UK pension industry nearly collapsed recently because pension firms had been using a "clever" device for extracting extra income from ultra-low interest rate bonds. When interest rates suddenly...

I suppose at least she can't be accused of exploiting her sex appeal. :D

It was not necessary to say that. :D

I bet MSTR wish they were only holding 0.236%. :D

Currently $16.5k and dropping like a stone. So much for $20k support...

Only time will tell whether the get-rich-quick narrative still holds for BTC. If it loses the perception of number-always-goes-up, then a lot of folks will abandon it. But who knows, it could top $1M in a few years. :D

Big gains can be made during Silver bull markets. The trouble is they are few and far between. The vast majority of the time, it's a losing proposition. This (inflation adjusted) chart tells you all you need to know about Silver as a long-term investment...

I'm more inclined to believe this: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/13/el-salvadors-bitcoin-holdings-down-60percent-to-60-million-one-year-later.html But I suppose it could be fake news. :D

On a longer term chart, these few months of relative quiet don't look particularly unusual. https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#tgCza1gSMAzm1g200zm2g25zl

Instead of constantly chasing the next big thing, you could just leverage BTC during the next bull market. I bet a back test of leveraged 3x BTC, during a bull run, would be pretty impressive. Anyway, just a thought.

And high-flying stocks. People want the potential to make a killing, get rich quick. It's well over a decade since precious metals behaved like this, so they're not on anyone's radar. Unless precious metals start shooting up, joe public isn't going to be interested.

What's the faint line. A moving average? I'm not sure I'd rely on past BTC bear markets as a guide to this one. In its entire history, BTC has never experienced the sort of macro economic environment we're in now.

Yep, I wouldn't rule out it ending up as an 85% drawdown. https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#ig2-hourzczsg2021-11-09ztgCzm1g200zm2g25zp

Maybe now. It's just dropped below $18.5k.

This. In the short-term this hurts Europe but in the long run it hurts Russia more because no-one will trust them as a supplier. Sure, China and India will keep buying from them but they'll know not to ever become reliant.

Interesting idea. I can't access these tokens, or any crypto ETFs, in my UK trading account. But I can trade a 3x Coinbase ETF, which seems to follow 3x BTC fairly closely. Will give this some further thought before the next crypto bull market (assuming there is another bull run of course :D).

Not if they remain out of favor for years and years and years... Over the past decade, PMs have performed dismally compared to stocks and cryptos. It would take something monumental to change the deeply entrenched negative attitude towards PMs.

If you think that's a scary looking chart, check out EU nat gas (select "5Y"). :wtf: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/eu-natural-gas
