It appears that several bitcoin ETFs have been approved. The next phase in crypto now begins.

I am not a proponent ]

Define what you mean by that.

I rarely speculate on Crypto, but I have bought at close to various lows(BTC) believing it was a good deal. I'm a proponent that it's a valuable tool for the right people.I'm pro BTC and want it to succeed.

I would expect that it will go up at least $10,000 in the next 30 days or so. I am not a proponent of crypto but for those of you that like to speculate, this might be a good time.

I invested in a Bitcoin ETF for a few days maybe 5 years ago? Grayscale I think? Is there some new law that changed from when I owned that?

Edit…. Maybe it was a mutual fund, not an ETF, but does that even matter?

What matters is they will be on an exchange. Regulated. Sec rules and reporting. You can lose money but not your actual coins. And institutions have a more clear path to invest.

It sounds like you invested on a crypto exchange of some sort.

Grayscale is a trust. People are transferring out of GBTC into ETFs because of fees.

Just a few moments ago

BTC = 69929 USD
+1466
+2.14%

Will we see $70k (again?) today? My guess is yes. Just random noise should see it hit that.

Next stop 80k or 60k ?

Next month we will have another Bitcoin Halving. It will be interesting to see if that has any short term affects.

Might break $70 but I do not think it happens until Asia wakes up.

There was a hard ceiling at about 69950 today. I think that when it breaches 70,000 it will tear ahead easily to 72500 or much more.

We'll see.

It Started: The Great Crash (Black Monday 2.0) Begins in 32 Hours


The Bank Term Funding Program ends tomorrow, there's hundreds of billions left outstanding that banks lean on, previously over a trillion.
For all those 2008 buffs listening to Jim Cramer:
The Bank Term Funding Program was created to support American businesses. Banks will continue to have ready access to the discount window to meet liquidity needs. The Federal Reserve, the US central bank is terminating the bank term funding program (BTFP) on March 11.

71685USD
+2659
+3.85%
As of today at 10:11 UTC

The ceiling has been broken convincingly. A short pause for breath before $75k. Then profit taking to see a serious retrenchment.

Amusingly the top three opinions on Tradingview are super bearish, but there 'gauges' are all saying 'strong buy'

The bears are regrouping while the bulls run riot

It’s in a halving uptrend. The pattern lately is it goes up a little Saturday and Sunday as most of the world is on weekend. Asia wakes up while the USA sleeps and buys heavy. Europe and USA follow so it goes up non and tues. Then it drifts about. Then it repeats.

I'd love to believe that it could be so predictable. It would be the greatest system since Martingale. $;o)

How far off topic are you going to get CC? Does the guy even mention Bitcoin in his advert?

He mentioned bitcoin going up 40% during some financial downturn but I'd have to rewatch the video, but bitcoin didn't exist in 2008. I see nothing of a Black Monday on the markets today despite the internet ballyhoo floating about beforehand. But the banks losing their discount window may show up on their balance sheets by their quarterly reports next month, or when the ATMs have no cash this month.

I believe Bitcoin was invented in 2008.

Google factoid: Based on a free market ideology, bitcoin was invented in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, an unknown person. Use of bitcoin as a currency began in 2009, with the release of its open-source implementation. In 2021, El Salvador adopted it as legal tender.

It isn't perfect, but I missed out the cashout and rebuy the last three times. Not missing it again.

Speaking of martingale, I worked a benefit last weekend. Weird prize ticket payoff so they did some weird betting. Guy needed to get to 51 chips to get a second prize entry. Bets 2, bets 4, etc. Kind of thinking he just invented fire. Lost his stack, 5 or so losses in a row (BJ). As he left I asked if he knew what martingale was. He did not. Told him to google it.
