    Nobody should pay any tax to any government on any digital asset activity, nor accept "bitlicensing" of any individuals; we should use & defend bitcoin, use all legal means on earth and space to lower taxes, admit growth in taxes causes growth in global poverty, and I'm not removing this post. -WAAS

    We could have the first spot Bitcoin ETF on the market near the end of this year, as Grayscale intends to file for SEC approval for its product by “early next week,” according to CNBC.

    Only invest what you can “afford to lose” should be a metric you adjust as the price increases.

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 04:26 PM PDT

    I hear you HODLers; for the rest, hear me out. At the moment, risk tolerance is high because there's few reasons worth cashing out. However, one of the mantras of crypto is "only invest what you can afford to lose."

    As we start to see new ATHs, some must consider "what NOW can I afford to lose?". The sell metric should be personal and at whatever price you "can't afford to loose."

    Waiting for the next ATH is not freedom. Financial freedom is not being controlled by finances.

    A single piece of paper with 24 random words written on it can do the same thing as an entire banking franchise that consists of 10 HQ buildings, 1000 branches and 100,000 employees.

    Why a futures-based ETF will massively affect the spot price of BTC - A technical and general analysis

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 10:06 AM PDT

    The SEC has now finally approved a Bitcoin Futures ETF. However it seems like the sentiment about this in terms of price movement for Bitcoin is not where it should be. People think that purchases of a futures ETF will have almost no affect on the spot price of BTC, which is absolutely untrue.
    Let me elaborate, as this might blow your mind.

    Technical Analysis

    When a futures ETF launches, there will be way more buying than selling pressure. We can see this already, because futures on exchanges trade for a much higher price than BTC spot. On FTX, the BTC-0325 Future is trading at 65'600$ while BTC is trading at 61'080$.

    When futures ETFs launch, they too will reflect higher prices than the Bitcoin spot price. What will risk-averse, smart investors do? They will short the high ETF price, BUY BTC spot on a lower price and pocket the difference. Currently doing this on an exchange would yield a 7.5% risk-less return within the next 6 months.

    ELI5?: I will now spot-buy Bitcoin for 61k and sell it to you for 65k BTC on March 25th. I can arrange and fix this sales price by shorting the ETF now. I have made 4k of secure profits.

    As you can see in this example, the availability of a futures ETF directly affected the spot demand of BTC. With more and more ETFs launching and trillions of dollars being directed towards them, price spreads will increase and so will the buying pressure on spot markets. This is huge and many have yet to understand this.

    General Analysis

    The approval of a Bitcoin Futures ETF on Wall Street will legitimize the asset once and for all in the US. It brings the credibility of crypto to a new level for many higher-ups in finance.

    Also, regulation is still one of the biggest risks we're facing. The further crypto can spread, the harder it will be to regulate crypto in a way that is harmful to the financial industry. And an ETF is doing exactly this, no matter whether it is futures-based or not. You cannot take down something that is so deeply connected to the economy. Once people allocate their 401k, IRAs etc. regulators will be even more weary of hurting the crypto space.

    Summary

    The launch of a US futures based BTC ETF is huge, both from a technical and general perspective. It is untrue that it won't directly affect spot prices and this will soon become clear to us all.

    Have you noticed that QR codes got more common for everyone?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 02:39 AM PDT

    I don't know if I'm the only one to have noticed that, but in my opinion, when I was showing someone how bitcoin works, people where always saying "Ah, and that works with this QR code thing" - as in they heard about it, maybe have used it.

    So in the process of explaining, there was always this new unknown variable for him with those Codes. This is now fixed. Everyone in the last 2 years has used QR codes on several occasions, and QR codes are a more common thing now.

    Why is this important?

    When Bitcoin was invented, smartphone usage wasn't common, you could have just send it with your laptop or PC near you which wouldn't make it easy to carry. Before Corona, it wasn't easy to spend. (Also lightning, but that's anitjer great story for another time).

    Now, common folks are way more comfortable with using QR-Codes thus making Bitcoin more usable because the knowledge of technology use increased.

    So this is good for Bitcoin.

    Post from 3 years ago re: BTC to $200k by 2022

    Posted: 16 Oct 2021 11:48 AM PDT

    I made a post at the beginning of the year about how I’d be buying btc every week of the year. Here’s how it’s going! The blue circle was when btc first hit 60k, the green circle is now. The difference, is that my btc value has doubled since then, the power of stacking sats, stacking every day!
