You could say it already doubled over the last few months. Maybe the run already happened. Again, this halving is no secret to anyone.
It wasn't a secret last time either. And look what happened.
Roland, you are expecting people to be smart and rational. People (generally speaking) aren't smart or rational. They are fucking morons. Many of my friends included.

up the past few days and then a complete u turn south.

this is why on every spike up i sell to pocket my profits and then i rebuy with the same core amount i started with. rinse and repeat.

it moves so fast on spikes and nose dives, that i do not want to play that guessing game so i lock in my profits.

Congrats on your martingale trading strategy. Take frequent tiny gains upward, take huge infrequent losses downwards.

you don't get it.

i've made north of $6500 the last 13 months doing this.

my core position continues to stay at $10,000

get your hand out of your pants and get moving on this.

Congrats, but that's because BTC went up overall. How much would you have made doing nothing but holding the last 13 months?

Your strategy is a martingale. It's like picking up pennies in front of a bulldozer. If BTC had had a bad year you would've bought a lot of dips, and been making losses.

Jan 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved 11 spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, including those of Grayscale, Bitwise and Hashdex, according to a statement on Wednesday.

The approval would be a game-changer for bitcoin, offering institutional and retail investors exposure to the world's largest cryptocurrency without directly holding it,

Would someone please help me explain what ETF does?

Is it as simple as retail investors paying a fee to Blackrock (or another issuer) to buy and store BTC for them? No leverage, so Blackrock can't sell $1000 worth of BTC before buying $1000 worth of BTC proper.

ETFs are just like mutual funds except you can trade on them intraday. Mutual funds only settle at the end of the day.

One thing that concerns me about these BTC ETFs is that BTC will continue to trade overnight but I don't believe you can execute an ETF transaction outside market hours. A bad scenario is that you could get caught holding a lot of BTC in your ETF overnight while the market collapses.

You can now legally serve someone with a bitcoin transaction:


I also learned today that mortgage brokers will take bitcoin as collateral too.

Getting more mainstream by the day...
Not bad, Ace. Thanks for the info. Yes, I love all stories of BTC acceptance.

One trend I've seen at many restaurants. Now charging a 4% credit charge fee. That wasn't the standard b4. Small margin game, they don't want to eat the credit card company charge.

Variety of places have fees for accepting credit cards. Cuz they gouge businesses.

Yeah. Again, good info from you. I hear good things about your reputation.

One sidebar discussion from the Bitcoin videos = will Visa be threatened by greater adoption of Bitcoin?

When will people realize how nice it is to transfer funds via Bitcoin (or Litecoin)? I'm a big fan of Litecoin, b/c of the quick settlements with negligible fee. Could be big for transferring $$ across borders.
