    I found some data on the BTC futures premium https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-december-futures-reach-73-500-is-everyone-flipping-ultra-bullish It looks to me that 10-30% is a resonable level, above 40% corrections tended to occur. Max is 49.1% but at the highs of a buying frenzy, I wouldn't...

    Uniswap vs Pancakeswap

    Uni has already delivered twice, there is not reason to think they wont deliver again. Especially when the theoritical framework that they are using (Optimism) has been developed for so long On the issue of fees, another way to look at it is that this is a sign of great product market fit. The...

    Uniswap vs Pancakeswap

    Those APYs are phony because they dont take into account that you are being paid by inflation. Correct if I'm wrong but the daily issuance is 750K CAKE a day. That's 270M CAKE a year! (with 157M CAKE being outstanding). This is very similar to stocks that pay dividends not in cash but by issuing...

    Uniswap vs Pancakeswap

    So Pancakeswap is this uniswap copy on the Binance Smart Chain, which is a centralized copy of Ethereum. I want to ask the Pancakeswap fans out there, especially @johnarb. How do you justify staying on this investment when: -Uniswap V3 is coming out, which will lower fees dramatically -Uniswap...

    High Central Bank interest rates doesn't mean that monetary policy is tight

    Substitute Argentina for the United States in the 1970s and the point remains. High rates dont mean that money is tight, lots of times it actually is a sign that money was loose

    Venmo users can now buy and sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

    If you dont understand the most basic things about BTC, like layer 2s. Why do you feel qualified to comment on its value and whether it is a good investment?

    High Central Bank interest rates doesn't mean that monetary policy is tight

    https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/interest-rate Argentina has a 38% central bank rate, it also has 42.8% inflation and that is expected to rise further. Meanwhile Japan has -0.1% central bank rates, it also havent had significant inflation in 30 years. The level of rates dont tell you the...

    The Cryptocurrency Trading Journal

    Yes, its a possibility to use the futures to lock a sale price for BTC. Especially because when this market goes insane, the blocks will be fought for tooth and nail. I wouldn't be surprised to see $200 average fees, maybe more. We already reached 2017 peak fee levels today and things haven't...

    The Cryptocurrency Trading Journal

    I dont expect to continiously make money on this trade. But rather, to make a bundle and move on. I might even choose a further out contract to really lock some good rates to be short if. But yeah, once the collapse happens, the premiums are probably gone for a year or two

    The Cryptocurrency Trading Journal

    Well, but thats a good thing. Because I will put on these trades (with real size) BEFORE the bear market. So I will profit from the switch of big premiums to no premiums. I'm sure at the top or close to it the premium will be huge, thats when I will be short it. In fact, it will be one of my...
