I lost a good but today, but still want it to go lower honestly. Mind says that was bottom but gut says it's not. I think I'm gun shy right now though.

I put more limit orders in at 40k and 35k.. I imagine support is gonna be massive at 40k and if we break through it it could get nasty

But from a macro perspective; I just don’t think that’ll happen. I don’t trust humans not to behave irrationally though so we shall see.

Maybe the TA can help spot bottom it’s recovering a little now

I don't think this Evergrande ordeal is over with. BTC will probably bleed more if there is a big drop in equities

Someone help me understand these exchanges that offer leverage trading...

Say I threw $100 onto Kucoin and did a 100x leveraged BTC trade. If bitcoin goes up 1% before it goes down far enough to liquidate, my investment increases 100%?

Bitcoin has had 85% pullbacks in the past. It absolutely can happen, but I doubt it and investing accordingly.

Turns out his loyalties alight much more with the common Goldman Sachs shill and much less of the MIT crypto enthusiast I thought he'd be.

How I feel about Gensler:




Key quotes from Gary Gensler's interview with the Washington Post.

There are innovations in the Bitcoin whitepaper that Satoshi put out about 12 years ago. Satoshi's Bitcoin has been a catalyst for change in finance. It's pushing central bankers to reconsider how to provide better payment systems. I dedicated years to study and teach it. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think it was interesting and innovative.

SEC's job is to protect investors from fraud. In the world of finance, it's human nature that people come along and try to sell something and exaggerate in the classics of hucksters in the world.

If these 6000 different tokens have the attributes of an investment contract or attributes of equities or bonds, they are a security. Trading and lending platforms have hundreds and thousands of tokens that fit the definition of a security.

These platforms have not registered with us. We're going to keep bringing these enforcement cases but there's going to be a problem and a lot of people are going to get hurt. This field is rife with fraud and abuse and hucksters.

If you raise money from the public and they are relying on you to build a platform with an anticipation of profits, that's an investment contract. It's a straightforward idea.

There are platforms trading securities, platforms that have lending products and what's called staking products. With staking coins you put a coin at the platform and you earn a return. They can come in and we'll figure out how best to get them within the perimeter. We'll also be bringing those enforcement actions as well.

Stablecoins are acting like poker chips at the casino right now. SEC is working with the banking regulators on stablecoins.

Its almost like he is saying they are going to go after the low hanging fruit and by that, in their attempt to make it more "Safe", funnel people into some of these US based exchanges. From there my guess is they could start to filter into other things, but I kind of read it in a way that he understands some of these DEXs are just going to be around and shite and meme coins are here to stay.

Someone smarter than me let me know is Gensler's comments put a company like Celsius or Blockfi at risk. Do I move funds off of it? They are lending platforms which he outlines in his statement.

When Brian Armstrong of Coinbase was getting upset at the SEC on Twitter about them threatening a lawsuit over the 4% "high yield" ( ) lending product you knew BlockFi and Celsius were going to be in the crosshairs.


Can't have anything threatening that juicy 0.001% interest rate in a savings account.
