Who took a dump @29k?? Think about the taxes...

Things are getting a little interesting.

See the price dropping. Moved some FedBux into Gemini and placed a dip order for $250 @ $28,000.
Let's see what happens.

I just wanted to draw some attention to some earlier degenerate stacking.
Life is getting weird at these prices.

I just did it again. Just stacked another $100 in PPBTC @ $28,852.21 USD/BTC.
Going full-retard here.
Yeehaw.

Weird, yeah. 'Course you'll be considered the dag-gum smartest degenerate retard stacker around if/when we get to $35k in the next month or two. That noise?! Sounded like heavy chips falling into a stack..., from Vegas maybe? No too loud! Musta been BTC, kind of heavy chips at $28,000, 'scuse $29k each...
Who'd have thought one month ago there would be buyers buying at $28,000??? I would not have so guessed.

Which leads to the logically consequent question - is there anything in the protocol, or some new software layer in the works - that can provide proof of non-hypothecation?
AFAIK, there are no such instruments, currently.--useful info snipped for brevity--

Oops... it's "thank you" in English

Aaaand, a new ATH $29150 29278 (this has escalated pretty fast)! I'm going to bed now. I hope tomorrow we will be above 30K. #hodlsleep
Jesus.....

Someone said that 29.4K is a Fibonacchi something something number, but I don't think that this market pays attention to such little details.
December 30, 2020, 07:20:13 PM
29.2k!
What a number to wake up to!

I'm sure that given the ongoing custom - habits are hard to break - most of the traditional finance world won't take "move inflation the other way - to the right of the decimal dot" so easily. They'd rather rehypothecate, as they are doing for gold and for derivatives based on gold (basically paper money). This is as close to double spending as you can get with btc - through a layer of obfuscating paper. Much too close for my taste.
Once TPTB have their hands on bitcoin, they will come up with new and ingenious ways to keep doing old, disingenuous deeds. One way to avoid that would be a simple way to make sure each satoshi is only hypothecated once, if at all.
Example: I buy a bitcoin ETF, "bakt" by the RealThing. Good. Now I want to know the public address of the btc backing my ETF, and be sure it only backs my shares, not someone else's too. And a loan. And some enterprise capital in some other firm. If such information is easy to find automatically, we can be relatively sure that there will be stern laws against re-hypothecation, and they will be inflexibly enforced.

AFAIK, there are no such instruments, currently.
In case of GBTC, private investors give them cash, which they then use to buy "real bitcoin", but then issue GBTC shares in lieu of such bitcoin.
Private investors have rights to actual bitcoin (after a year), but I don't think that GBTC shareholders can request to redeem their funds in btc (to my knowledge) and even if they do, it would be counterproductive since GBTC is trading at a premium to its btc holdings.
However, maybe funds like you described would be coming when, hopefully, Avanti bank and Kraken bank would finally start to function in Wyoming.
According to Caitlin Long, Wyoming passed a law that prohibits re-hypothetication of "digital assets" like bitcoin and they are unique in that regard.
hopefully, they would have an investable vehicle that you can put in IRA.
However, it is not a big deal, but I already have two btc funds in my Roth IRA-GBTC and CXBTF (XBT provider-some Swedish ETN).
CXBTF did the best since I bought it, but it is really illiquid because SEC stopped it trading on US exchanges shortly after I bought it.
Interestingly, most people don't know it, but US investors can buy Canadian bitcoin ETN (at least in Fidelity IRA and Roth Ira), trading on Toronto stock exchange (QBTC-U.TO).
The good part-it has less premium to btc (when you are buying). The bad thing-it has less premium to btc when you are selling. If you catch it at a wrong time, you might pay premium to buy, but sell with almost no premium if you don't time it right.
I know that Fidelity does it, but you need to call to their foreign trade desk and pay $50/trade.

Records shattering to the left and the right..bitcoin closes at $28,881.30 on the daily candle after hitting a high of $29,010.32 for the session.
Currently trading higher at $29,150ish bitcoin looks to challange the 30k mark before years end 2020.
All ahead flank.

Heh, found the first post I made on this forum, made by my previous user (never knew I could search by username, so I never found this post before).
I really only registered to buy some PM from the user 2weiX, after reading this thread. I had to write one forum message before I could privately message him, so this is the first and only messsage I wrote.
I never changed the password after the data breach, so I've lost access to this account since a long time ago.
This is the message I received when I tried log in again.

Hi All,
Chris from Sweden here.
Been lurking on this site for months without register, mainly in the Economics and the Bitcoin Discussion (sub)forums.
I bought bitcoins when the price was less than 10 USD per BTC and I still hold tight to most of them, even though I've sold some both on the way up and way down of the recent bubble to secure my initial investment.
I still have great faith in bitcoins. :-)
Cheers

Not even a zero in the hash. Well, one. That node's got problems for sure.
