    Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

    Unfortunately, no triple-digit ETH this morning. The downward acceleration is now decelerating. Another small load of dividends hit my TFSA today, I threw it into a bunch of REIT units instead. Rental prices and real-estate is still bat-shit crazy right now. Canada is doubling down on...

    After the Merge, no Bitcoin fan can BS anymore that he is into BTC for the technology

    For well over a year, you have been able to buy dozens of different spot ETH or BTC exchange-traded funds now, and you can legally do this within a registered account. Some pay distributions, other ETFs just hodl, some are currency hedged, etc. You can mix & match, they've even got woke ESG...

    After the Merge, no Bitcoin fan can BS anymore that he is into BTC for the technology

    One thing Bitcoin has for it is first-mover advantage. This is what gives it name-brand recognition... something Buffett refers to as a moat. That said, there is also a warning in tech, about never being the FIRST or the LAST mover.

    Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

    Getting closer to triple-digit ETH this morning. Equity markets are all tanking... Volatility is up! Inflation is up!

    What are you presently reading?

    Sunday, again. Unfortunately, I only finished two books: Retirement Income For Life Getting More Without Saving More By Frederick Vettese This was the (completely revised and updated) edition. It was so-so, but nothing special. Though I did learn a couple things regarding the 'quirky CPP rules'...

    Credibility of CANSLIM and William O'Neil

    I've got one or more CANSLIM books in my library, and only read them out of interest of humor. Nothing else. Let's think about this for a minute. Do you honestly think that a simple solution such as CANSLIM really can out-beat the market? Considering, that even just one supercomputer owned by...

    H&R Income Tax level 1 Course

    I've done a lot of work on doing my tax docs for my un-registered trading accounts. I also decided that it can't hurt to do the H&R level 1 training, as it seems quite intense. At least I'd get some of my confidence up a little and maybe something to add to my resume. I'm just curious, for...

    Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

    I believe the majority did? So Vitalik & the Ethereum dev-team put sharding on the back-burner and went full-force into the new consensus layer. And since, we've heard nothing but complaints of... "Too expensive!" "Gas Fees are too high!" "Oh, too much traffic on Ethereum!!!" Critics naturally...

    Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

    It was done by a vote. Isn't that decentralized enough? Originally, PoS was supposed to be pushed back and only carried out AFTER data-sharding was completed.

    After the Merge, no Bitcoin fan can BS anymore that he is into BTC for the technology

    Those who held onto a few of them like Amazon were able to retire years ago already in luxury. In any case, holders of Solana are in worse position than BTC. In one single stroke, they've lost the advantage of the Ethereum isn't Proof of Stake so we will kill it argument. As of the 15th of...

    Anyone planning to trade/speculate the Ethereum Merge event?

    I'd like to say, that for now I'm out for the count on crypto for a while. But... that's not fully true. I'm going to set my limit-orders for ETH if she hits triple-digit figures again. Biden is just one of many who are helping to make that look like a really good possibility now. Busy looking...

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

    Germany has no Tax on cryptocurrencies for longterm-capital gains. As Saylor likes to say... Tax That!

    People's attitude is changing towards cryptos

    I'm not so sure BTC can even reach 0, however, there is some tail-risk at the extreme if Europe and other nations continue to push-through the ban on crypto-mining. But in that case, you'll most certainly see the btc-maxi crowd suddenly have a 180 change in opinion and vote for a new taproot...

    Robinhood unveils new 'investor index' of top 100 stocks

    Well that's interesting. All I hear in Canada and Europe are visiting Americans complaining and bitching why they still are left out of spot-crypto ETFs. :wtf:

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    No triple-digit ETH today, so I loaded up on 2.5K shares of a REIT @ 30% discount to NAV. That said, I can't even guess where ETH will be on monday. Just sitting tight and watching the western economy burn for now.

    Countdown to Sep. 15

    I was one of the first to trade the nano-ether futures (or was it micro-ether futures?) when they first came out by CME. I was hoping to also try out Options ON Ether futures, but those are reserved for the big BTC contracts that only institutions can afford to risk. Sadly...

    Countdown to Sep. 15

    There are far too many variables right now for me to trade confidently. Too many unknowns and we still don't know what we don't know. For the first two years of Covid, ETH was easy-peasy any idiot could make money just shorting PUTs or going long, etc. Buying up before the Tap-root & EIP...

    Prices Rise in August, Surprising Economists

    Even in Canada here, things are getting fucking insane. I was at Shoppers drug mart 2 weeks ago to get a Covid testing kit. A woman in front of me was very upset and asking the teller why the hell the prices of everything are even more so damn expensive every time she stops by. The worker...

    Robert Heilbroner -- the Worldly Philosopohers

    Looks like my library has a few copies of this book. I put it down on reserve and will give it a shot. Lately, I've been going a lot of study into both economics & philosophy.
