TS salivating over another shot at 8k and his triumphant return. Will this time do it? Stay tuned for the next chapter of "As the BTC turns"

Isn't that what LN is for. At least that is what I have been told for years now. I really think it is volatility that stops this as the coversion from for example USD to bitcoin to Peso takes time and in that time you could lose a significat percentage. And the family in Mexica needs Peso to pay the bills. Can't do it in bitcoin yet.

Well to be fair RTs prediction of $0 has been wrong going on a decade, maybe you could learn a thing or two about adjustments

Just so we're clear, I think bitcoin has some value. The black/grey market stuff is its only utility, but there's obvious value in that.

It's closer to zero than whatever we're at now, but it's not zero. Saying "bitcoin is a longterm zero" is usually just hyperbole. Most shitcoins are actual zeros because they were outright scams whose creators just ran off with money without doing anything, but bitcoin is at least accepted at the successors to the Silk Road and on poker websites, so there's that.

I try to escape CB monetary policy and replace it with a predictable monetary policy. Bitcoin did this flawlessly for the past 10,5y, I hope it will continue to do so. My utility for Bitcoin is that people will be never be able to control the monetary supply, or manipulate consensus rules for their own gain.

There are lots of people with different utility for Bitcoin. Things you can't even think of. So you can try to fit it into your narrow world view, or you can open up and face the reality of this thing.

Is it really guessing?

To the untrained eye poker is also guessing

There's this one guy I know about that has predicted 27 out of the last 3 recessions. I think jfound is trying to beat that record.

Not sure if this is trolling or a serious question, but if you want a serious answer...

And this is commendable. I have a feeling 99% of the longtime bears in this topic have never put their money where their mouth is. And the 1% who did got totally REKT and were never to be seen again.

I’m not a just bear though, I’m a bull and a bear depending on trends. I’m more bull than bear

This is pretty bullish news: https://medium.com/bakkt-blog/cleare...h-8dfc3e6f9ed0

Bitcoin-settled futures, with a real bitcoin custodian for institutional investors. And since the price is not based on any of the shady spot exchanges for bitcoin, it is likely an ETF based on the Bakkt Futures would be approved.

(assuming it doesn't get delayed again and actually launches Sept 23)

When Bakkt came out I thought the original paper was more absurd than any parody could be. Not sure what their ultimate angle is.

Well the whole bakkt/starbucks/microsoft thing was absurd.

The bitcoin-settled futures part is pretty real though as an onramp for big institutional money. Those guys aren't going to open a Coinbase account, but they already have accounts at licensed futures brokers.

Why aren't they trading cme futures you ask? Some are (30k contracts traded yesterday, at 5btc per contract, not bad) but those are cash settled and have to be rolled over to maintain exposure to btc (fees, contango, etc.). With Bakkt they can buy, take delivery (to Bakkt warehouse which is insured) and hold with no further fees. The volumes there will be interesting for sure.
