But aren't banks insured? Are crypto wallets insured?

Has anyone played around with liquidity pools? I wrapped BTC in ETH to create one. Only used $30k for the LP and it has made me $484 in 6 days. Not bad considering I’m doing nothing. Compare to my rentals, LPs are a no brainer.

Never heard of it, but want to know more.

Do you hold crypto because you want to use it to buy things or do you hold it because you believe it will increase in value and make you wealthy?

I hold it b/c I think it is superior to fiat...i hold it for the same reasons I hold metals (and more reasons actually). The fact that I'm in at a time where mass adoption has not yet taken place is just a bonus. Had the year been 2121 and Bitcoin has achieved mass adoption and not volatile anymore, would i still buy it? Yes, b/c IMO it is superior to fiat/banks/metals.

I believe at some point it "could" be used to buy things. I'm hoping I can be positioned where i'll never have to spend it, and just borrow against my balances. I've provided videos that lay out plans such as these.

Then you view it as an appreciating asset to hold and that was not what it was designed for. To be fair many things are used for other than designed purpose, but BTC has value ONLY because someone wants it more than someone else. That's it, there is no other use to fall back on to, there is ZERO barrier to entry for any other competitive use for BTC, and therefore NO reason for a company to spend big bucks on something it can develop for itself. And with 10,000+ and growing crypto's, that is definitely what companies are doing.

So what does that mean? If I owned BTC, I would have a hair trigger sell button tuned to what the players were doing. Unfortunately, the freaking AI's move so fast, I think it will be brutal. But, plenty of stimulus to fuel the party for at least the next 2 years, so I hope you make a boatload of money.

Here’s the thing

YOU DONT OWN BITCOIN… so all of us are tired of “ if I did “ … “ and because you do “

Again, you are legit the guy at home screaming at a running back for blowing a play, while being apart of choir.

Another question…

why can’t it be both?

People are loath to spend something they think will be worth more the next day and conversely, who want to be on the receiving end of a 10% price drop the day after receiving payment. That is why if the Feds issue a crypto tied to greenback one to one, it will utterly crush enterprise crypto's for transactions. People buying and selling want the playing field to be level and predictable.

Your investor bias is showing, never be afraid of hearing the counterargument.

Interesting watching the moves.


Mastercard accelerates crypto strategy with acquisition of crypto intelligence firm

  • Mastercard (NYSE:MA) agrees to acquire CipherTrace, a cryptocurrency intelligence company that tracks more than 900 cryptocurrencies, accelerating the credit card network's crypto-related strategy as more people embrace digital assets.
  • Terms of the agreement weren't disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the year.
  • "The integrated offering will build on CipherTrace’s suite of digital assets and Mastercard’s (MA) cyber security solutions to provide businesses with greater transparency to help identify and understand their risks and to help manage their digital asset regulatory and compliance obligations," Mastercard said in a statement.
  • The deal allows Mastercard (MA) to combine the technology, artificial intelligence, and cyber capabilities of both companies to differentiate its card and real-time payments infrastructure, allowing customers and stakeholders to protect their consumers and comply with regulations, as they build their own virtual asset offerings, Mastercard said.
  • In July, Mastercard launched Start Path, a program for cryptocurrency and digital asset-focused startups.
