It is safe to say cryptocurrency is reacting poorly to a Biden Presidency

My eth holdings are up 88% this month. If that’s a poor reaction I hope it continues.

We’ve known he would be president for months. It is up over that time period.

Eh...mostly just part of the normal BTC cycle. Folks are getting their money out after the big runup.

It will be back below $10k within 6 months. Then time to buy before it runs up to $100k. Followed by another sell off.

Eth family and bitcoin family have both dropped precipitously since the inauguration.

I didn't watch, was something said?

Janet threw shade at crypto in her acceptance speech

Im looking at 22k as huge support, that's kind of where the climb turned parabolic, I'd be surprised if it got back under 10k but that's just my opinion. Still believe it will be over 100k within 5 years, if not this cycle, than absolutely the next.

Janet Yellen on Tuesday:

“many cryptocurrencies are used, at least in a transaction sense, mainly for illicit financing and I think we really need to examine ways in which we can curtail their use and make sure that anti-money laundering doesn’t occur through those channels,”

Exactly. Anything of value ever has been used for financing crime. They just hate no control. "Regulate crypto; stop terrorism" bullshite.

I am no finance guy, but what can the government do to a currency that isn't theirs?

Tell people they can't accept it?

Prohibit buying it?

This is where everyone starts "hoping for a pullback to $20k so i can load up!"

then when it gets to $20k it drops through it another 50% and then drags along sideways for 4 years

Of course the Sec. of Treasury is going to throw shade at any currency that could usurp the dollar. Having the dollar as the de facto global currency is great for us.

Is there a reason the US does not give 6 months to devalue the $100 bill and issue $101 bills as currency to end the illicit laundering they pretend to be worried about? Most illicit money is in large bills. It would give legitimate holders time to exchange their money and anyone trying to exchange massive amounts of cash would raise red flags. There could also be a provision allowing for hardship applications after the three-six month period.

I am sure there is a reason this is a terrible idea and do not even pretend to be knowledgeable about currency.

They would incentivize US banks to not allow transactions with someone like Coinbase or something. But Coinbase has an IPO coming up so how that gonna happen? The feds love the idea of a crypto currency they’re just mad they don’t control the one we’re using.


Bitches.

Hello I'm the government and I'm here to help with your problem: it is now a felony equivalent to money laundering to transact in BTC on US soil.

I hope you're right because I'm buying it up each paycheck. I want it sub 5k for the next year or two.

Biden is planning on pushing enormous stimulus bills which will undoubtedly cause inflation, thus increasing the prices of crypto. Crypto prices are still volatile and are affected by a million other factors than just who the president is.
