lol if you have ETH at a $178 cost basis, no one is going to blame you for taking profits. And yes, decentralization is definitely something that makes BTC unique. It's one of the the reasons BTC is worth so much more than the other coins. Any crypto that doesn't have the level of...

Right, but it's the judge's job to determine if the 1933 Act applies to crypto (or anything else). It definitely matters what the judge thinks of the Act, insofar as how it applies to crypto (or anything else). That's part of what interpretation is. She can't say something like "I don't like...

Wow, Judge Failla says the Securities Act of 1933 is outdated and doesn't allow for new technologies like crypto. "We've had a good run... but this is something new." I frankly was not expecting this.

SEC getting killed in oral arguments vs. Coinbase today. Judge making it clear she isn't buying (at least some of) SECs arguments for why BTC is a unique case over other coins. Stuff im reading sounding very bullish for defi.

Anyone with big tesla bags?

Respectfully disagree. The philosophical issues the script tackles and the depth of the dialog go way, way beyond the scope of dime store stuff (not that I have anything against pulp- it has its place, but this isn't pulp).

No lol. The writing in S01 was awesome. For sure McConaughey made it even better, but you're crazy if you're comparing the S01 script to dime store stuff.

The TD show is never going to be judged against the dime store trash novels of yesteryear. All seasons after S01 will be judged against S01, as they should be. And S01 set a really, really high bar. As for this season, after 1 epsiode I'm pretty meh. I think it misses a ton of the subtlety...

BTC has been as flat as I've ever seen it since Fri. Crazy how quickly this crypto merge with tradfi has impacted typical dynamics. This week should be pretty enlightening as to how things will likely play out for the short term imo. The TA people I know are suggesting we are leaning...

Wish I could point out all the ways this theory is ridiculous and unlikely to happen but... TBH, if something like this were to happen, BTC would be the best hedge. Until Satoshi wakes up and joins forces with Michael Saylor and a few others and they perform a 51% attack and control all the...

We are going to get money printing and rate cuts either way- a Trump victory probably just turns a crypto bull run into a mega crypto bull run.

If you have any doubt that blockchain and tokenization are going to be a big part of our financial system (and our life in general), just watch this interview with Blackrock CEO Larry Fink: The only question is which current products are going to blow up and which ones are going to get...

Blackrock targets Boomers for BTC in new ad. https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1746539470491447585?s=20

Larry Fink just got outed as a btc maxi lol Edit: (Actually he may not be a maxi- just very pro blockchain/tokenization). This was him in 2017

Not very forward-thinking for a company named Vanguard.

Wasn't planning on riding the miners through the halving. I realize they have a limited lifespan. My plan was to stay in them long enough to get an amplified bump from the rise in BTC price after the ETFs, then sell in a month or so and rotate that money elsewhere- probably to FBTC, but maybe...

I'm invested in several of the larger BTC mining companies. Hoping a liquidity vacuum will have a positive effect on miners.

Wouldn't sell now if I was in your position, but do what you want. ETH has been lagging all year and has just started to catch up. Should continue to go up, especially as we near an ETH etf.

Seems like the "crypto is a security" thing is still very up in the air. SEC keeps losing in court. Not saying it couldn't happen though. If it does, it will fuck most alt coins.

I'd say there's no way a trusted and storied company like Blackrock or Fidelity would be incompetent enough to let something like that happen, but I would have also laughed if you told me the official SEC twitter account wasn't 2FA and would be hacked and announce the ETF approval a day early...

What would that look like to you?

Haven't decided on which I'm going with yet but definitely going in. Only reason though is bc I can't buy actual BTC with my ira https://x.com/gurgavin/status/1745203919138017522?s=20

Gary G announced the approval but he's salty af about it lol. Yay. Now maybe I won't have to work until I'm 90.

Unbelievable. Considering the position and stakes, this should cost him a job.

That was my thought- though they are now denying it was someone in the SEC. Hope they figure it out.

So the official SEC Account tweets that the BTC ETFs have been approved. Less than 5 minutes later the same official account tweets that the account was compromised and the ETFs aren't approved. Hacks happen, but there are some strange things with this one. 1. If it was a scammer, they could...

Might not have to wait until next week to find out about the BTC etfs...

Yep, or even better Brian Higgins

Lots of theories on that, actually. People extrapolating using the advent of the gold etfs as a model.

Decision expected next week. Experts predicting 90% chance of approval. At this point the question is really who gets approved and when?

Picked up a bunch of that week before last. Likely will see lots of volatility in crypto related stocks as we draw close to the spot etf decisions

Having a pretty good end to the year for us crypto degens. Will be interesting to see what the week of Jan 8 brings. You sell all your Grayscale holdings yet, @Mist ?

That's a fair summary of how they are different. Would still say The Bureau was just better though- better writing, directing, story, acting (with the exception of Gary Oldman, who is the best actor in either show imo). Might be because I prefer gritty and realistic to pulpy. Again though...

I've been thinking of selling 50% of my ETHE and GBTC in late December to take profits. If they drop precipitously after ETF approval (or denial or delay) in early Jan, then I'll be glad I got halfway out. If it goes up instead, I can always buy back and lose out on some gains but still be...

Homo homini lupus est

Shit you guys are crazy. Werewolves always freaked me out. Always felt like I could reason with a vampire or at least convince one to turn me instead of kill me. But werewolves. Man, those fuckers are just going to tear you limb from limb. They are stronger than you, faster than you...

Had the exact same experience. Still like the movie though. Definitely in my top 3 WW movies

Gotcha. I'm curious on your timeline (I hold a good amount of ETHE). Supposedly the Grayscale BTC news is going to drop around 1/8/24. No one knows how it will go, but if a Grayscale BTC ETF gets approved in Jan, presumably all the Grayscale crypto trusts will see an increase. Again, they...
