I never promised that.

It always seems to run after hours. Likely retail traders. I have a hard time finding a place to trade BITX overnight. Located one dark pool, but not a lot of volume.

I wasn’t directing that to you or really anyone. It was a joke but I’m down for one if someone knows how to summon it.

40 minutes to go and it's at ~69,900. Lot's of orders flying. Knowing crypto, it's closing at 69,420.

Is 2000e considered the daily close?

Any reason to buy BTC on CB vs. Fidelity? Have always used CB and then transferred to a cold wallet and held, but I’d my life would be a lot easier if buying on Fidelity is all the same.

You don’t own the bitcoin you buy on Fidelity. You own the bitcoin you buy on coinbase (and store on a cold wallet). That’s the difference

Spoken like a true volatility trader! Bitcoin is on fire right now, over $71K.

I sold a bit prematurely on the upside after hours yesterday, but I also bought a bit prematurely on the down side when I went in. I need to get more disciplined with trigger points.

Besides not actually owning the coin, are all other factors the same? Price follows what you see on CB?

We might know tomorrow when Yellen releases the Q4 Quarterly Refunding Announcement. If she continues to skew issuance to the short end (like an emerging market) that’s a tell that they expect to win and want things to keep humming along. If issuance is shifts back to the long end markets will get spicy when volatility spikes in the treasury market. Yellen knows this and would only do it if she expects to go back on the speaking circuit in January. It's the equivalent of shitting in the punch bowl on your way out the door.

It's really difficult to impossible for me to time tops and bottoms on Bitcoin price swings as I don't look at charts or technical indicators or study news. But when i tried to incorporate those in the past, I seemed like they were head fakes and I timed trades just as bad when I ignore all of that.

So I miss trading on tops and bottoms a lot. I just learned not to care about that. I set my price trigger points and trade on those. I don't let greed or fear impact when I trade. Sometimes that helps me make more and sometimes I make less.

I could probably make more if I invested a lot of time in trading. But I am retired now and having fun, so I am not yet taking the time to do any day trading on smaller price swings. The beauty of the strategy is that I can tweak it whenever it makes sense.

Getting the ETFs approved was the only way we were going to have a bull run this cycle.

There is still ZERO interest from retail right now.

I don't think retail comes back until Bitcoin dominance hits 70% or we hit 100k.

Then the fomo will kick in again.
