Waiting for $40k
The framing of this question shows why Bitcoin is expensive at every price for beginners. Not because of the money, but because you have to invest the time and do the homework.
What do you think of this 2x BTC ETF?
I see no good reason to buy paper Bitcoin. If you NEED an exchange-traded proxy for some reason, Microstrategy (MSTR) seems more interesting (and has been more profitable) than any ETF.
Is "blockchain" a scam?
Since we're about to see major players push hard for "blockchain" projects (again) you deserve a more nuanced explanation than a simple yes.
Is Bitcoin too good to be true?
I'm obviously a die-hard fan, but last week I was asked if BTC might be "too good to be true". It's a fair one, there's a lot of irrational exuberance among bitcoiners and some of their claims are worth a second look.
This is Fine
With RFK now endorsing Trump a potential divide between Bitcoiners has been closed. The Fed's announcement of incoming lower rates suggests they'll desperately preserve their "soft landing" narrative despite facts.
What is gold trying to tell us?
Gold quietly made a new all-time-high last week, usually gold surges when markets are fearful uncertain. Could it be Kamala's economic policy proposals spooking the market?
Was the Japan carry trade a nothing burger?
Hardly. They managed to put a cork on the crisis this time, but did not solve the underlying problem. It's a matter of time before massive leverage causes the market to blow a gasket.
Is this "The Big One"?
The markets were smoldering all weekend before finally erupting on fire this morning in a wave of liquidations. All eyes on whether this gets contained or second wave turns this into a full blown crisis.
Is This Thing On?
Trump's speech at the BTC convention may have disappointed some —partly thanks to RFK's earlier speech. It was not "I have a dream" but it does activate a long-awaited chapter of Bitcoin's Game Theory.
A US strategic BTC reserve
Today you're still early to Bitcoin.
If a Strategic US BTC Reserve is announced —and this may happen— we will flip over to the "late to Bitcoin" much faster than expected.
