Pretty much at this point as US citizen, I'm just slowly trading all my alts for BTC to avoid future headaches. Originally Posted by raiders72001

^^^ Stablecoins deserve all the scrutiny they get. The operators of them have played us all for fools over and again.
They need close regulation to stop the scamming as the industry seems to have no backbone to handle it itself.

I can't take credit since Optinal was the one to find RFOX but these AI/gaming tokens are the sector to hit when the dust settles with the SEC. Until then it's still ETH and BTC for me.

The RFOX VALT is built on the Unity game engine and designed with a focus on virtual reality technology, which positions it perfectly to take full advantage of the technological advancements that Apple is expected to bring to the market.As the release of the new Apple VR headset draws near, RFOX VALT has already taken significant steps towards preparing to offer users an unmatched virtual reality experience. The platform has already released an Apple-compatible version of RFOX VALT for iOS devices, which is currently available in Testflight. RFOX VALT's ability to move quickly underscores its dedication towards continuous improvement and innovation.
Furthermore, RFOX VALT has seamlessly integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into their platform, enabling users to customize their environments using voice prompts.

OK, Tuesday deserves mention:
*A lot of stocks and Mutual Funds in the RED.
*Crypto stocks and TESLA in the GREEN in a big way!
De-coupling. Think about it.

Delphi Labs counsel Gabriel Shapiro called them a "nothingburger", CryptoLaw founder John Deaton doesn't think they'll materially affect the outcome of the case, but Hodl Law founder Fred Rispol argues they’ll impact the SEC's credibility. JPMorgan analysts said the documents were a boost to Ether and would encourage other cryptocurrencies to make themselves as decentralised as possible.
Bitcoin dominance is at 50%, headed to 80%
Earlier today, Bitcoin poked its head above 50% dominance on Trading View for the first time since April 2021. Ethereum is around 20%, giving a 70% market share to the King and Queen of crypto. MicroStrategy boss Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin is headed for 80% in the long term as regulators crack down on other tokens. “MicroStrategy’s view since 2020 has been that the only institutional-grade investable asset in the crypto space is Bitcoin… The next logical step is for Bitcoin to 10x from here, and then 10x again.”
Bitcoin Ordinals gave Bitcoin a new lease of life by inscribing Satoshi’s to create new tokens, and now Ethscriptions have been introduced, which put NFTs into Ethereum call data. 10,000 Ethereum Punks were quickly claimed on the weekend.

BTC = 30,170.
One thing I'm seeing on the videos:
*More and more use case for BTC in countries w/ massive inflation. At least BTC holds its value.
*Market saying "Who cares?" to the Gensler actions against Coinbase etc.

I'll call it now. Any of these Bitcoin ETFs will be a joke.
Here's why. These ETFs will have you believe they are holding the underlying asset.
How many liquid Coins are on exchanges at the moment? Add up the Lost coins, Coins in Cold Storage, and coins not yet mined. There can't be much more than 1.00Mill coins available for sale.
How TF are these multiple ETFs going to be able to purchase all these coins? BTC price going to shoot up, imho. These ETFs don't interest me at all.Points Awarded:

Lark Davis' take on the recent events and announcements. Runs about 7 minutes. Basically, he's saying, "Don't trust Wall Street". I'd say he is spot on....
One other take I've heard is that Gensler, by going after Coinbase and BinanceUS, cleared the way for all this to happen.

Arky, I think the bolded is the key part. Some bad-mouthing to cause a dip in prices. So they could buy in at a bit of a discount. Originally Posted by Arky

...Talk about comin in late to the party, LOL. They can get approval after the halving takes place.
With more mainstream mass adoption, how many Coins do these guys really think they're going to acquire? The stats I've read (and presented) show how coins are going into Cold Storage and off exchanges at a higher and higher rate. I don't have the stat at my fingertips, but it has to be much < 10% (all Bitcoins) available on exchanges for purchase at the moment.
Worldwide, people don't care about the US government edicts. In inflation-troubled countries, citizens are trying to hold value and conduct transactions. Price is rocketing at the moment.
Do we get to $33,000 by Sunday nite? That's < +10%. I think it could happen.

Well, I don't think it is so much about how much Bitcoin they acquire but about gaining control of crypto. Think about how the gold and silver paper markets are controlled and manipulated... The last thing those who understand what crypto is all about want to see is crypto turned into a new play toy of the 1%. Originally Posted by ChuckyTheGoat

The 'paper' price is manipulated through futures and commodities financial markets. This is what coined the term "If you don't have it, you don't own it" referring to people who own stock or futures (paper gold). Ultimately what happens is when you eventually redeem the delivery of the commodity, the CFTC can't fulfill the promise and you are forced to take a cash settlement. I believe this or something along these lines is what recently happened in the nickel market, sometime after the pandemic. Pretty big shit that the tv analist won't go into detail.

Very interesting, Arky. I believe the recent Bitcoin trends are a big deal. I think that any true Bitcoin believer wants nothing to do with KYC and/or exchanges. Originally Posted by Arky
The whole idea is to de-centralize. Remove government from the equation. The charts I see continue to display more coins moving to Cold Storage. The number of coins available on exchanges now has to be very small. 1.00Mill BTC available?
In the last two weeks, I would summarize the public response as people not wanting to be late to the party. BTC is moving north on almost a daily basis. Eyes are open, wheels in motion.

I should have mentioned, if you have crypto at Kucoin and don't want to KYC, then get it off before July 15. There's a possibility it may go poof. I think I am going to try the KYC at the bare minimum level and see how it goes.... Originally Posted by ChuckyTheGoat

I sold the rip on 6/21 and took the profits, then rebought low 31s.
At some point i am probably going to get caught with my hand in the cookie jar but i cannot help myself but want to take profits when it rips because the steep moves always seem to settle and start drifting back before settling lower.........

You're right. Just tried to KYC at Kucoin and the USA came up as "unsupported". Originally Posted by raiders72001

Kucoin is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that is available in most countries around the world. However, there are certain countries that are restricted or banned from using Kucoin due to legal and regulatory reasons.
As of now, individuals or residents of countries such as the United States, Canada, Japan, China, South Korea, and Vietnam are not allowed to use Kucoin. This also include OFAC countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Yemen, and Cuba which are also prohibited from using Kucoin's services.

Just a FYI, I was successfully able to move, sell, swap and even deposit coins into and off of Kucoin. Sounds like you can do this until July 15. After that, no more deposits but I believe the withdraws will still function (for USA). Originally Posted by Arky

Salud, Raiders. I hesitate on one front. When people talk about BTC as "digital gold"...I have to question the comparison a bit. Originally Posted by raiders72001
Gold is tangible, BTC is a technology. For BTC to grow, it's about the use-case and the adoption curve. I think BTC is doing well on that front in inflation-challenged countries. Citizens will look to BTC as a stable store of value. Better than watching the value of the home currency erode.

Why do you think that is so vital? I know people endlessly parrot that for the last decade but if you use personal logic, does it make sense? Originally Posted by ChuckyTheGoat

I doubt you think it's vital that gold is useful for that to maintain it's hedge value.

I'm looking at it this way. I don't know what the price will do tomorrow or next week. But I'm very confident that we are in for a nice bull run. Blackrock has $9-10 trillion in assets under management. That's more than the GDP of every country except the US and China. Blackrock's record of ETF approval from the SEC is 575-1. Blackrock has their hands in everything successful https://stockzoa.com/fund/blackrock/ . I'm just following the money. Originally Posted by ChuckyTheGoat
