In order to dump coins one must have coins

"New regulations ask miners to sell their crypto to the central bank."

When (not if) the global central bank arms race to stock up on Bitcoin reserves begins in earnest then 100k will be dirt cheap coins.

Stocking up on coins with no history, interesting.

Doubt they care about history. Most likely subsidizing the electricity, then requiring miners to sell for their useless fiat. Pretty sure there's no need to mine if they were ready to buy with gold coins

Tonight I'm going to sell my soul to the witch. Kiss

I wish you all a happy Halloween night.
Take care

Here is a ritual incantation you won't believe:

I miss nihilist Lambie.
I miss nazist R0ach.
I miss technocrat-bureaucrat Adam.

This doesn't feel like winning anymore. Sad

Good enough incantation?? Cheesy

That is likely due to sanctions on Iran and the banks there, which are frigging 'cash poor' so maybe a workaround. I mean it IS Iran for crying out loud,

they can tell you to do almost anything, it is how they work.

Probably, easier to laundry money with BTC and a truck of fiat via another country

than any other way to get fiat into an Iranian bank these days..just saying

Good lord, the 2016 2017 energy is SOOO strong. You gents remember this?

Making another run at it.

Those days definitely felt great. I was going through a particularly bad breakup with a business partner at the time and it got VERY messy but BTC doing it's thing kept me sane and gave me a nice little financial padding to navigate though uncertain times. I only sold a fraction of my stash but boy am I glad it was there for me.

Let's hope this is only the start of things to come. Tell ya what lads, I see people here talking of retirement and the like and while I might not be whales like some of you (I haven't done too badly) I don't begrudge you at all. Happy for every single one of you because I know one day and one day soon I'll get there too.

Enjoy it fellas, it's well deserved!

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-just-4-days-away-from-historically-bullish-10k-price-record

"Bitcoin (BTC) has spent nearly 100 days above $10,000 — and if history repeats itself, further price gains could be astronomical.

As noted by various social media users this week, as of Oct. 30, Bitcoin was just five days away from trading above $10,000 for 100 days.

BTC price closes in on 100 days at $10,000
According to data from analytics firm CoinMetrics compiled by Twitter user Julio Moreno, after trading above certain price points specifically for 100 days, Bitcoin subsequently gained by an order of magnitude.

For example, after staying above $10 for 100 days, it took just 122 days for BTC/USD to reach $100. After cracking 100 days above $100, meanwhile, $1,000 appeared in just two days.

Looking at the difference between $1,000 and $10,000, the time period was longer — 150 days to crack five figures after trading at four figures for 100 days."

Brian Brooks got his start in traditional finance before joining Coinbase in 2018 and is currently the acting comptroller of the currency. In this episode, he discusses:
● how his background in traditional financial services led him to take a position at Coinbase
● whether the role blockchain and crypto will likely play in the financial future is being recognized at the federal level
● whether or not banks have always had the authority to custody crypto for their customers
● how he expects things to unfold in the coming years as banks begin to become more involved in crypto custody
● his thoughts on Kraken and others launching crypto banks and whether it will lead to the founding of other crypto banks
● how his office is pushing for a national fintech charter, and how it could affect less crypto-friendly states
● whether banks that work with crypto companies supporting unhosted wallets are prohibited from holding stablecoin reserves
● whether or not OCC regulations cover DeFi, and the regulatory challenges that open source protocols present
● whether he sees a time when governments and regulators participate in the governance of crypto platforms
● what roles he thinks public and private sectors, as well as commercial banks, should play in the creation of a central bank digital currency
● what stance the OCC might take around privacy in blockchain transactions
● how U.S. regulators can offer more clarity to the crypto industry
● and how he thinks the pandemic, its effect on the economy, and the government’s response through stimulus will affect the crypto industry

Interesting...says that Harvard and Stanford endowments bought a lot of bitcoin. I knew of Yale before, not those two.

Yep! I always use this song, Secret Agent Man, as my FOMO and PUMP Music.

All 2020 I was trying to maximize my fiat returns so i don't have to sell btc at the next peak (2021-2022).
The results are mostly OK so far, giving myself a nicer volatility cushion.
Will sell btc at some ridiculously high number (for this stage, such as 350-500K) in 2021-22, but probably not at 55K.

Here is a tease: got an alt that outperformed btc by 1000% or even more since Oct 2017 (till now).
What is that mystery alt? BTW, there was another with the same stats few mo ago- 100% sold that one already.
Shitcoins can "work" if you don't hold them very long term. An intermediate hold-6-18 mo (or even few years) can work in your favor.
Woonomic calls them "oscillators", which is very accurate.

I sincerely hope that @JJG would not have a spike in his/hers blood pressure while putting down such "revelations".
Take it easy, it's just numbers, everything will go back to btc...soon, but not yet.
