    Closed the long 4 btc perp futures probably a local bottom and btc may bounce back to 30k but too many headwinds for risk assets at this time Unless there's some good opportunities, i.e. meme crypto frenzy like a few months ago, I will just wait for next year bitcoin halvening to actively trade...

    Coinbase Gets Approved to Offer Crypto Futures Trading in US

    It will be a very good product if Coinbase has the btc futures trading 24/7/365 like all the Coinbase offerings... and if it's a "physical settlement" vs cash, would be a game-changer CME would not be able to compete and the likes of Blackrock would juice up the returns pocketing all the...

    Is the crypto winter over?

    Bitcoin bull-bear market cycle happens around the halvening which is scheduled to occur around April of 2024 However, given that everyone is aware of this, there is a theory that it will be front-run by market players so we will hit $100k/btc by year end Will btc peak at $1M this cycle and...

    Crypto assets in Asia, and some random thoughts on "Eurodollars" vs stablecoins

    True, we have! LOL Ok, but have to revisit and emphasize that validator censorship and blacklisting of addresses are not going to be a major issue for vast majority of the crypto users especially the ones not living in western nations like USA, Canada, Australia, etc For it to be a concern...

    Yes I agree validators can censor addresses, due to the PoS design of Ethereum, it adds a bit more pressure for compliance especially the biggest validator nodes/pools are run by big US companies such as Coinbase But did you understand that this is not a Usdt-specific issue? Even now you...
