Have you looked at gate.io?



I wouldn’t ever normally do this, but hell, I just gave them a referral and didn’t even look to see if they have referral links. I use them and haven’t had any problems and they have tons of coins, so here is a link to gate.io. I originally moved coins there because of state restrictions on other exchanges. Less liquidity, but it still serves the purpose. I searched and didn’t see any mentions, so apologies if it has been.

I think the next big BTC jump will be when they announce the next stimulus package or there is a revision in the inflation estimates.

Any guesses where we head from here?

I have loved this consolidation range of 50k - 60k.

If the SEC approves the 7 Bitcoin ETF applications in the near future, 100k Bitcoin is soon to follow.

The Bitcoin shorting that's starting to take place is absurd. I wish they would make it illegal.

make shorting illegal? Wow.

Who here actually does or will spend their crypto?

I'm still holding through this cycle, but everyone I talk to only invests in crypto. They don't spend it.

Alt season is here and is giving me a sell signal.

I did. Still holding the rest.

What's your plan for your crypto? You going to spend it anywhere?

Or going to trade it in for fiat?

I'll hold bitcoin forever and borrow against it like any other asset/property.

I have some crypto but I don't see much value in that long-term at the moment so I'll trade it into bitcoin eventually... but that thought process could change

CAKE is right there with it. Doubled since the last dip. Too bad I don’t own any.

There is nothing better than watching a short squeeze and watching the short sellers get liquidated

Plus don’t be an authoritarian. People and institutions should have the right to use their property as they see fit in this domain and if they want to lend out their BTC to short sellers let them do it. Ultimately it will prove to be quite bullish when the squeeze hits

they openly tell us they are debasing fiat at 2-3% per yr so we know its melting away just by holding onto it,

meanwhile, bitcoin has averaged over 200% per yr in the last decade.

most people still see bitcoin as a tech stock or equity in a company... so we are still early

The people that think our existing system is sustainable because CPI has been in check while asset classes are exploding in price for a decade of this extremely low interest rate experiment are delusional, or trying really hard to grasp on to the idea that we aren’t in the middle of a seismic paradigm shift. I myself was skeptical of Bitcoin for a long time, but as Saylor puts it: if you are drowning a few hundred feet below sea level and someone hands you a respirator, you don’t spend a lot of time debating if governments are going to ban respirators or if the oxygen coming out of the respirator comes out at a volatile rate; you put on the respirator to survive.

A whole bunch of ridiculous logic about how America is so awesome and we’ve got the petrodollar and everyone else has even worse fiat so our treasury bonds will still be used, as if a much better alternative isn’t emerging right before their eyes. It’s just fear to embrace change or arrogance in my estimation.

People are going to opt out of using fiat and fiat demarcated assets as stores of value and this ridiculous fiat system is going to collapse, or *best case* the existence of viable decentralized alternatives will force responsible fiscal and monetary policy upon entities that have thrived on kicking the can of collapse down the road.

We are so restricted with USD/bank/visa combo. Just try calling vanguard or fidelity and tell them you don't want to list a physical address.

I've had a major bank freeze an account before with zero explanation. Finally, they let me withdraw the balance and banned me for not using the account for normal household activity.

My only hesitation is going "all in" in the middle of a bull market.

I struggle with this also. A lot of it is just getting past the mental aspect of fiat currency. I have been putting more and more in crypto and other investments.

Just realize that IF things drop, which they have been known to do, hard, that your time horizon to realize profit may be extended.

yup. I do not think people realize how much money is out there stored in real estate, art, Treasury bonds, metals, off shore banking, tech stocks, etc

bitcoin doesn't even need to demonetize ALL of it but even if you few percentage of people start to realize, "wait a minute, most of things are already overpriced and illiquid and difficult to store, why don't I start to look over here at this other thing (bitcoin)" then it's over

a million is a conservative value and this will be realized eventually.

I obviously have a lot of conviction but I'm still undecided how much conviction others have

$100k will potentially be a huge psychological road block for many people. not sure if it will wise to take profits around then but it's worth hard consideration
