Recently, I was thinking if the BTC ATH would have been higher without the COVID ?
You were thinking?
Well that's a good start.
I don't think I saw this argument on the WO discussion.
We can probably (easily) admit that we wouldn't have seen this crash below 4K$ in march 2020. But at the same time, we would have seen more than 69K$ at the top ?
And.....?
What is the purpose of such an exercise of changing some historical facts?
Does it supposedly help you to see the present facts better?
FED, all central banks all around the world just printed printed brrrrrrrr without any limit or any plan and gave lot a fresh money for Wall Street and all investors to (over) speculate. This situation (at this level) didn't happen since decades.
I know some members here are not agree on it, but the fact is that BTC (or the crypto industry in general) is currently still fucking linked with the tech (nasdaq) movements (except for some specific issues and mess like with LUNA, Celsius, or FTX).
First of all, let's stick to bitcoin here.. Your thinking is going to get even more foggier than it already is, if you want to start to talk about some amorphous topic that you want to label as "crypto"
Ok? can we stick to bitcoin to at least help to clarify what the fuck "we" are talking about?
Regarding bitcoin, sure it is linked to equities and perhaps NASDAQ in short term periods, but so fucking what? Who cares? it is not helping you to understand bitcoin any better merely because you can see that "sometimes" its prices happen to move in the same direction and at the same magnitude as NASDAQ.. but if you zoom the fuck out, you should realize that bitcoin is not actually correlated to NASDAQ or to anything else.
You know why?
The reason why is because it is a new asset class. A paradigm shifting asset class that allows you to attach value to information in a non-duplicatable way, which in essence contributes to bitcoin serving as a vehicle in which wealth is being transferred in greater degrees and amongst more possible people than ever had previously been possible or experienced.. and the sooner you figure that out (or anyone else for that matter) the better off that you will likely be - so long as you do not get tricked out of your coins.. and you figure out ways to both know the information and to act upon the information in such a way that you are accumulating coins in such a way that you are not gambling to accumulate as much coin as you are able to without overdoing it... not easy for a lot of people... but the asset class and the invention is out there for everyone and anyone to jump on board with even basic skills and basic financial abilities.. can learn as you go, too.
Without this free no limit money, probably the stocks and Nasdaq especially wouldn't go this high till end 2021 / before the war. And probably the same for BTC.
A lot of "what ifs" in there.. Hardly making any sense from this here peep.. to the extent that such a thought exercise is even helpful without some kind of a better context regarding why you think it makes a difference, including your lame attempt to connect everything together..
It's hard to say, but maybe this allows us to relativize a little bit.
Yeah.. Let's relativize.. that should help us to free float, maybe. Vitalik? is that you?
Although most of us (myself included) thought that we would go higher than "only" x3.5 from 2017 ATH.
More sloppy thinking when you are measuring from highs.. but at least you are trying to be tethered. Perhaps?
Hello guys. It's difficult to follow up on all the drama, even if I'm not involved in most of these sites/schemes/shitcoins.
I have some USDC, not much as I'm at the bottom of my buying ladder so mostly in BTC (for my trading stashes), do you think it's safe enough ?
I was thinking I'm good as I can lose that amount without hurting much, but writing this I'm realizing I should probably cancel my sell orders as if USDC crashes, they will get executed and I will be holding bags or a worthless coin.
not sure where your exchange is and not sure if you follow usa tax law, but if you are usa based there is zero reason to have usdc. Just use USD

Okay he's french a I like frog legs and escargot b I l like Jacques Pepin.
As for how to manage money in France I am pretty much clueless.
From what you quoted Philip, it took me a wee bit to sort out which portion of your cited post was your actual response..
You might want to fix your quotes in the original. Perhaps..? or just leave it in its current ambiguous state of affairs.
Regarding managing money in France.. I know every lil thing that everyone and anyone needs to know, whether a frog leg eater or no.
The money managing 'vices are the same no matter your world location or even if you might happen to be out of this world.
Here's the essence of it: Buy ur lil selfie some bitcoins.
Buy as many cornz as you can, as soon as you can, but not more than you can afford to buy based on figuring out your own particulars. Try to keep the vast majority of your lil precious in some form of private storage, but it is ok to keep relatively small amounts on exchanges (or with third parties) and/or to keep your options open regarding being able to sell some of your BTC at a time of your own choosing, or to maintain your BTC stash through your life, even if it might take you 4-10 years or longer to really establish your BTC position in a solid way and to really get some ideas regarding how to maintain and liquidate some of your cornz along the way in your becoming a bitcoiner and living as a bitcoiner journey.. but of course, you do not necessarily even get to maintaining and/or liquidating of dee cornz until you have sufficiently and adequately accumulated them first.
It's likely a life-long journey of learning and potential a life-long path to satisfaction so long as you don't screw it up too much along the way and try to learn (and keep learning) as you go rather than merely seeking short-term fiat richness, gambling and/or lacking in focus.. focus ur lil selfie on dee cornz.. focus on dee cornz.. .
Your milage may vary.
Pretty straight-forward, and not even country-specific while at the same being applicable to any country, no matter which country or even applicable to no country at all.
Go figure
(literally) or not. Do what you like.. it's a free country..
