Oh god...this post alone completly disqualifies you XD OP is talking about a simple cash and carry trade that is held until expiry. @Daal : When the carry blows up to 20% while BTC rises, you're in deep trouble, bro. Margin increase and a hefty loss on your hedge. Basis is even more volatile...

Aside from all the retail rumblings in this thread, I really love the fact that the US is pushing itself out of the crypto market more and more. Sure it's a big market but for once Asia is much bigger, so when US retail isn't allowed to trade this stuff anymore nobody will notice

You don't need to overcollateralize 1.25 when you borrow OTC. YOU need to overcollateralize, because you're a small fry and you need to go to the loan sharks. Screen shows 8% annualized for a 6m loan, whereas OTC repos are quoted around 3% p.a. Minimum trade size 1m. Look, I tried to outline...

I don't think you understand. No ass cares about housing loans. The risk is different with houses compared to crypto. If you want to take out a large loan (1M+) you have to KYC with a big house like Galaxy Digital and they X-Ray you 100% before you get a single dime. Thus the rates are way...

Look...the stuff you are "teaching" is referring to a landscape that is at least 10 years old. That's like teaching DotA 7.27b with patch 1.2 numbers. Completly different ball game. There aren't any big FX desks in the banks anymore. The business got way to competitive. It now belongs to HFT...

No, it's a very efficient market. Have you ever tried to get hands on USD as a crypto company? Nobody will lend you any money. It's the same with you: you have BTC and want to put it down as collateral for USD...an asset that crashes and rallies 6x over a couple of months? And there still is no...

Wrong my friend. The interest is here to stay for the most part...and the reason are guys like you ;)

forget that. as far as infrastructure goes, it probably takes another 3 years until a giant like IBKR even considers Krypto assets. The effort, technology and cost of crypto custody are nowhere near traditional levels and onboarding retail is still a nightmare. I'd much rather transfer some...

he's shilling binary options

Guys please. You forget one thing with all this "trade like a market maker" bs: Market makers have proper infrastructure and they have access to customer flow. This means that they don't get to chose their position, they quote two sided markets all day at prices that favours them and when a...

it some countries it already did

sooner or later, edge will leak anyways. But because this is ET, it will take a year or two until people figure it out.

Dude, are you even listening?? The implied rate is NOT on Bitcoin

BlockFi doesn't offer rates over 8% Again! I want you to sit down and think long and hard: When you are long Bitcoin and short Bitcoin futures, what is your position? Then come back

are you sure you are paying 8% on Bitcoin? Seems like you don't really know how this market works

You can do just that. Just not against CME Futures....that would probably take another 5 years.

This thread is the best example why ET cannot have nice things

If you see the market as a mirror, you have no edge. Trading with edge features zero emotions. People think that controlling emotions is first and with it comes your trading edge. It's the other way around. Sit on your ass and research until you found something that works. Test it and trade...

Did you make money with it? If not, nobody cares. >close thread

most likely another tax optimisation by the exchange aka. exchange gets "hacked" and refunds all out of it's own pocket, which of course would be a tax deductible loss. Lost coins somehow appear in the retired CEO's pocket two decades down the road :D
