Thank you brother in arms.  Grin

Looks like Black Rock & Co. are buying massive amounts of physical BTC OTC and are hoping not to trigger the ATH again. Some nasty players build massive sell walls against the buying pressure. I smell conspiracy for not lifting up the price too soon before the Halving.

Suckers.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
Mango says here I am in the kitchen!
..
Some monster over clipped his wings, and so he can't fly. Cry   We adopted him as a rescue bird.   He does have full run of the house though, no cages for this guy.  Smiley Well we do have one, but the door is always open, and he has a little nest on top that he usually hangs out in.

I first heard about Bitcoin in the Katy Perry Roar days (2013).

My thoughts, in order of importance: Katy Perry is a stunning jungle goddess and Bitcoin may be something interesting, perhaps...



But this new look of Katy Perry is just nasty. Ugh....   Huh
She looked awful as a blonde as well.




Bitcoin on the other hand has me more than convinced and it's my primary thought over any woman...

The key is not to tell women about your cold wallet.

Do people expect their Five Guys food bills to get smaller in Dollars?

This is what happens with a debasing currency, ran by a bunch of fraudulent nincompoops.

Five Guys' prices sparks outrage after $24 receipt goes viral: 'Highway robbery'
https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/five-guys-prices-sparks-outrage-24-receipt-viral-highway-robbery

Quote
"Five guys was always overpriced. Same meal was $15 ten years ago," an unimpressed commentator added.

Five Guys Meal

2014: $15 or 0.047 BTC
2024: $24 or 0.00037 BTC

Pick your currency.
You can literally eat at Five Guys every 3 days for an entire year for the cost of just 1 meal back in 2014, in BTC.

Soon it will be every day, every meal (3 times per day), every hour and so on...

1 BTC will buy the entire fast food chain eventually.

In ₿ we trust
Observing $66,697 and life is good. It’d be nice if after the recent volatility, we settle here a bit before another big leg up. We don’t want to get too over heater.

43 days until the halving and I feel like we’re at a higher price than expected for this stage of the four year cycle.
So do we pump again before or after the halving, only one way to find out, HODL.

All good things to those who wait
Where do all these ETFs buy their bitcoin. If OTC, where do the OTC desks source it ?

They buy from OTC desks. The OTC desk is in contact with miners, whales or other entities holding hundreds, if not thousands, of bitcoins. The OTC desk agrees on a transaction at a spread over the reference rate between buyer and sellers.
Then they cross the order on the market.
So the transaction actually happens on the market (e.g. Coinbase) even if the price hasn't been formed on the exchange itself, but Over The Counter (OTC).




There are several ETPs though. Is that a possiblity?

There are a lot of illiquid and tax-inefficient ETPs in Europe, correct.

Most of the ETF's buy/sell from Coinbase Prime, which is an OTC. Coinbase Prime in turn buys/sells only from the US based crypto exchanges - Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini. All this is written in the ETF documentation. They can also avoid spot market if buy/sell ETF's arrive simultaneously from different ETF companies. So, most of Greyscale sells for example go directly to Blackrock buys without touching the spot market.

People, 50% of all bitcoins are held by the general public about 10.5m bitcoins. River estimated that Bitcoin had 81.7 million users as of June 2023, or 1% of the global population.
I'm surprised they didn't add "people" in the graph when they're the most important, but I already fix it. Wink
