    "Without the USD, NO CURRENCY HAS VALUE! THERE IS NO COUNTRY ON THIS EARTH THAT DOES NOT COMPARE IT'S MONEY TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN USD FOR A BASELINE. Yes, this even includes exotic forex pairs like Zloty to Yen. Because Zlotys and Yen are compared to the USD." The USD is the global reserve...

    Excellent point They already experienced a >50% crash. I believe they will be fine over the long term. I'm putting a lot of money into that belief Fiat value is the one that's volatile and you can see this in all the bubbles around us, stock market, real estate, arts, collectibles...

    It's not a gimmick. The whole country accepts bitcoin as legal tender. Watch the video of the Starbucks payment, it's faster than a credit card transaction and contactless payment The question now is which country is next?

    Bitcoin has topped.

    I know you didn't reply to me, but... When you posted, btc was on downtrend at around $48Ksh, did you put a short position on btc or any type of position that would benefit? If you did have a short position, you would have taken a drawdown of over $4K. Wonder how you would have felt or if you...

    You have very good points. On-chain analytics is not very useful to traders. It may even be counter-productive as it could make a trader lose money The reason for this is that it's not an instant market indicator. During the time when we traded sideways for many weeks, William Clemente's...
