Well.. It did a nice bounce. Let's stop knocking on that door though!
That's a good way of phrasing the matter....
We do seem to want to keep knocking on the $45k-ish.. and yeah? how long is it going to last before something else happens? or does something have to happen? I remain of the opinion that bitcoin does not tend to do flat very well for very long, even when sometimes it can seem like we are at flat for an eternity.. at some point, she breaks.. just hope that we do not need 3-9 months before the break comes.. because sometimes that length of time will feel way too awkward.. and sure we have already been around our current price arena (let's call it $45k to $52k) for about a month.. December 3, remember that red candle? I know.. I know.. I don't really like it either.. but it is what it is... and we have had plenty of whiners and naysayers coming out of the woodwork for this event and our consolidation that has followed so far... Some shakenings seemed to have been successful too.. so far.. how many more need to be shaken? Are there any left? to be shaken?
Can you see how carefully is the word play on this??
There is nothing said about "withdraw", "ownership" or any willingness for empowerment to its clients/users/consumers. They are into the slave business, not the freedom business. They just keep trying to survive and keep a foot in the door for a bit longer so they can try and crawl their way in into the new system.
Don't be fooled by them giving you zeroes on your phone app or card to spend, while they keep the goodies in a safe, that is safe away from you.
They will start a war in the moment they are forced to give up the physical bitcoin from their wallets!!!
People should educate themselves on how to become their own banks!
Another rare find...
Save the RF making senses.
I cannot really disagree with anything that you say, including the motives of the bankers to NOT let people self-custody their coins... and so surely in the early days of Banks getting into bitcoin, they are not likely to make self-custody easy - but I also have some senses that many Banks are going to be forced through competition to become more flexible with various systems that they have in place, that is if they want to continue to serve people or to have developed enough confidence for people to want to use their services (otherwise they will extinct themselves).
Another point seems to be that we should not necessarily be claiming that incumbent bankers who are entering into the bitcoin space are the ones who are NOT sufficiently innovating... because largely they are getting somewhat forced to get involved in bitcoin, and in that regard, some of them might end up developing systems that are not totally hostile to people - even though surely many bitcoiners realize that there are a lot of risks in holding custody of assets/currencies with third parties, whether banks or otherwise, but there are a lot of difficulties, even these days in being your own bank... and even some experienced bitcoiners remain quite nervous on a regular basis about some of the evolving technologies around bitcoin wallets and even concerns that there might sometimes be some vulnerabilities in some of their holding practices.. including even some experienced bitcoiners erroring on the side of too much security that causes their lil selfies to lock themselves out of their own coins... which surely would not be a good feeling, even when the amounts might sometimes be relatively small in terms of total BTC portfolio size.
