Eh, if you look at the 1 month graph for btc, it’s a pretty straight forward down slope and it took a bigger dive today

Is there any literature on this? I think it would be smart to get ahead of the crowd on crypto vol. How did you learn it? Are they priced with black scholes like options on traditional financial assets?
Same formula as SPIKES:

They're trying to pull data from multiple derivative exchanges, but I think it's just largely from Deribit right now.
So it's not available on LedgerX for most people. You're going to have a hard time finding someplace to trade it. I trade it. I actually hedge my positions with it, but I can't get into where. I use it mostly becuase protective puts at one time were extremely expensive due to speculators.
Let me know what you end up doing.

Appreciate the help! No worries on the sources I was just interested in the space in general. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.
Are funds already trading crypto variance swaps?

The fact that one person has this much influence on bitcoin is the reason i'm out. Yea the USD might have inflation but bitcoin is volatile AF

45k seems to the next level of short term support, it’s been flat for an hour but volume is still high.
If it holds it may bounce a bit

Buterin just burned 90% of his remaining SHIB. 
quote:
"I've decided to burn 90% of the remaining shiba tokens in my wallet. The remaining 10% will be sent to a (not yet decided) charity with similar values to cryptorelief (preventing large-scale loss of life) but with a more long-term orientation. Covid is a big problem now, but it's important to think about the longer term future too!
Simply holding the remaining coins in the 0xab58 wallet forever was never an option; for security reasons alone they would have to be moved to a better wallet eventually, and any transaction I make would get interpreted as an action. So... may as well just do the useful thing immediately.
I've actually been impressed by how the dog token communities have treated the recent donations! Plenty of dog people have shown their generosity and their willingness to not just focus on their own profits but also be interested in making the world as a whole better. I support all who are earnestly doing that.
But for anyone making coins (or daos, or whatever else) in the future, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME COINS OR POWER IN YOUR PROJECT WITHOUT MY CONSENT! I don't want to be a locus of power of that kind. Better to just print the coins into the hands of a worthy charity directly (though do talk to them first)."

I just can’t decide if this is just a blip and BTC still rips later this year to $100K+ or if the bull run this cycle is now over and we’re staring at the next crypto winter.

Stupid question...why does the rest of the crypto market necessarily hinge on BTC?
Posted on 5/16/21 at 10:33 pm to GeneralLee
Margin traders getting liquidated all the way to low 40s and then your scared folk. If bullish moonboyz don’t step in, (I think they will) prob a big slide lower.

Ive got an offbeat crypto related question
Are any of you La baws familiar with a guy named Shawn Burst? He appears to live in the Mandeville area and is CEO of a direct mail marketing company called DirectMail.io
Also his wife is a local realtor
Anywho, he also happens to be marketing director for an alt coin I'm in. $MIL or Military.finance
Pretty interesting project with favorable tokenomics that donates part of their proceeds to veterans charities. I'm up $8k on it at the moment and it's still only in pre-sale. Doesn't officially launch till July 4th

It’s just what has happened historically at least, but who knows what the future holds. If $65K was the top this cycle, then ETH and all the alt coins ripping the past few weeks would have been the “alt season”.
BTC is very inefficient compared to other coins for transactions though. Seems like this will put a hard cap on BTC max value and lead to a decoupling of the alt coins from BTC at some point, but could be years away.

BTC is secure is my personal reason. Obviously it’s the 1st mover, but from a technical standpoint, bitcoins model is unbreakable IMO. I think this is why it will always have the most market share and drive the market.

I know it's been discussed previously in this thread...I've done some research on stablecoin lending (Nexo / Celsius, etc.)
It still seems a little "too good to be true"...what am I missing? If you have fiat sitting on the sidelines, you would just buy USDC / USDT, etc. and move to Nexo / Celsius and get 10%+. I know Nexo touts $375M of insurance (but at 1.5M+ users per their website that's only about $250 per user).
Has anyone here had their money in these accounts for a good amount of time? Any problems so far?

Given how new the asset class is, I would postulate it's possible that historical cycles might not mean as much as we think. I don't think most of us here could have anticipated the 2 massive bull runs for BTC. We would all be rich if we had a clue on the timing.
Posted on 5/16/21 at 10:41 pm to GeneralLee
BTC is not really that more “en-efficient”. The more valuable a POW coin is, the more it’s mined, the less it’s efficient.
IMO, power consumption is the latest FUD. No-one seems to give a shite about the energy us Fat arse Americans BURN for “entertainment”. BTC mining creates wealth at a factor unheard of compared to anything else on this planet and it ain’t close.
