Bitcoin price discussion and analysis

Jump to new
I've been investing in crypto slowly, in btc , Xrp,eth and now xlm , I differently think we are @ the infancy stage of cypto , tho looking logically @ btc ( with regards to mining) the amounts of energy used, and also the ledger eventually controlled by China as they are the largest miners i can't see btc being a long term investment for me , eventually the largest reason that it will be frowned upon due to the large energy amounts required to mine,
I've decided to invest more in xrp and eth
Any thoughts ?

this is what bitcoin is at risk with the Reset: being made illegal

so nazi, far right (obviously only far right as far left are angels), pedophiles, drug and arm dealers, dark web you name it, the propaganda is starting;
with the Reset, wealth in the west will have to be annihilated and inflation has to act as an invisible wealth tax.the game is on.Has bitcoin enough leverage to survive the attack?
 
I believe the dynamics in this map will be critical.once BTC becomes illegal in a key country, this prohibition will snowball and bitcoin is an anti Reset so bad news with the US.
Unless the Tech gurus in the silicon valley leverage their power with the Biden side, BTC is cooked but do not underestimate the power of these Techs and their willingness to save personal wealth from the madness ahead.
So my half baked BTC view...
Let's keep an eye on this map
 


Mr Frog, I think there are 2 issues here:

(i) Will BTC be prohibited; and
(ii) Can that be enforced?

So historically, gold was prohibited to be held by individuals. It was however unenforceable simply because an individual could hold/hide the physical.

Re. BTC: it can (like gold) be prohibited. Can it like gold be held in secret? Given that the blockchain is extremely easy to track, I'm guessing this will not be as easy as hiding gold at the bottom of the garden beneath the gnome from Zurich?

Can it be held in secret?
The BTC i already own and are on a physical media probably, but in the west as in China, now, all internet traffic can/is recorded and to buy sell bitcoin you need to connect to a site somewhere.
by definition, blockchain can not work from 1 computer to another so it needs a network of computers
So you can not transfer a BTC from one smartphone to another using bluetooth or similar.
Should btc become illegal tomorrow in Australia, the only way you could bypass it if monitored would be to transmit your whole portfolio either as a memory stick and or password/secret key... Via pigeon mail or physical mean
Highly difficult.so indeed while cryptos are encrypted, their Achilles point is the buy sell process. Which does need a networked and so spyable transaction .
Gold much better
 
When the markets turn down, leveraged long positions quickly turn into a loss, resulting in margin calls from brokers. When the margin requirements are not met, the brokers dump the positions at market price, leading to a sharp plunge.
 
Offtopic really but an interesting coin mined by Argo Blockchain and others.

Zcash began its journey as a fork from the Bitcoin blockchain on Oct. 28, 2016. It takes a focus on providing better privacy for users through zero-knowledge cryptography dubbed zk-SNARKs and is developed by the Electric Coin Company (ECC).

Bitcoin and altcoins correct after Yellen’s ‘illicit financing’ critique

Janet Yellen’s crypto critical comments put a damper on the wider market just as Ethereum price reached a new all-time high.
cointelegraph.com
Despite today’s slight correction, institutional investors are still bullish on Bitcoin’s long term prospects. A recent projection from hedge fund Vailshire Capital Management called for an “imminent breakout” and PlanB, the creator of the popular Stock-to-Flow model, has predicted that Bitcoin price could close the month near $48,000.

Bitcoin breakout 'imminent' says hedge fund as analyst targets $48K monthly close

Both Bitcoin's fundamentals and analysis of on-chain indicators are "wildly bullish," says Vailshire Capital Management, with BTC price reaching three-day highs.
cointelegraph.com
"A larger monthly jump to #bitcoin $48K would create a nice gap between monthly dots. These gaps usually mark the point of no return (red arrows), i.c. the phase transition to #phase5," he commented while uploading the chart to Twitter.
