Kinda...let's say I'm on the other side.

Easy cowboy! All I have to say to this: 1. There are no brokers in crypto. 2. All you have access to is lending facilities that offer overcollateralized loans, so a liquidation cascade won't have an effect on the company. Books are hedged with derivatives against tail risk. 3. BTC crashed to...

Could you once and for all explain what you mean by "these companies" ??? Are you referring to exchanges, lenders, token projects, OTC market makers... You just throw a punch of words around but you don't seem to have any clue of what you are talking about. In addition, do you really believe...

look, dude. I already told you many times you need to get into the rabbit hole and do your due diligence on these companies and on the entire ecosystem. You cannot come up to an internet forum were one half of members doesn't know the difference between ETH and BTC and the other half condemns...

then spread out your risk

I don't quite understand...you lend 1BTC and you get 1BTC back. How does that invalidate your thesis? It's a win/win.

That hit him right in the pp

ah, damn what a shame. I'm sorry I didn't check earlier. Seems like they have been taken over by OSTC, which is a pitty because they had tons of educational material on their website, too. Just in case: https://www.ostc.com/learn-to-trade-with-zishi/training-tools/

That's not what I meant. If someone pays 10% p.a. for a loan in stablecoins, what does these stablecoins help him to do? Where does he have an advantage from paying 10% p.a. or which costs are higher than 10% p.a. so that he decides to save by transacting in crypto? And I'm not talking fishy...

These ET brainlets. If they just did a little digging, they would figure out that crypto and especially BTC covers a huge global inefficiency and that is not going to stop. I wonder why nobody asks why the synthetic BTC dollar as well as stable coin yield is double digits. And they still...

now don't you feel stupid?

As long as ET doesn't get away from this "hope and trust" thing and doesn't learn why after all these years Bitcoin is still not dead we will read these funny posts :D

I say it again and again: The US is completly moving into the wrong direction...and it is good for crypto. The industry has always grown from the grassroots and it will simply move away to ecosystem friendly juristictions. On the other hand there has to be some regulation because there...

you dont need leverage, you just trade the basis

As said, it's just not for you. Move on, thread closed

As I said, you have to dive into it and really learn what's going on and which risks you are taking. The carry trade has the return profile of a junk bond and depending on your due diligence and exchange selection you either cash in or lose your margin. When a country bans trading a market you...

GBTC premium is synthetically the very long end of the forward curve. You cannot really arb it but you can spread it vs futures

Here is the thing. The returns in crypto are not free lunch. You have to know what you're doing 100%. This includes doing your due diligence without relying on the clowns of the rating agencies. Refco (if you're old enough to remember that name) hat brilliant ratings, too, but went belly up...

Then I really would not do it. Your risk is not the exchange then, but the unpredictability of IBKR and their shit margin rules and customer service. I can tell you a couple of stories about IB...in 2008 their data feed freaked out which resulted in a couple of long positions being marked to...
