Now Who Will You Listen To? Nassim Taleb
Or Tim Draper. Thoughts on the market on 24.04.2021.
#Bitcoin updated lows of $47500 on #Binance exchange. This correction was quickly redeemed and has now briefly recovered to $50K + level. As of the time of this writing, the main cryptocurrency is trading around 50300K. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $1.866 trillion, with BTC dominance index 50.4%. That is a $913 Billion market cap level which was attained back on 8th February.
The stock market ended Friday trading with growth. The Dow Jones climbed 0.67%, the S&P 500 rose 1.09%, and the NASDAQ rose 1.44%. The Volatility Index, which is based on the performance of S&P 500 options trading, fell 7.38% to 17.33, while the dollar index was down 0.57% to 90.800.
The Bitcoin alternative scenario from our analysis worked out with correction to $47500. Markets fell yesterday amid a statement by US President Joe Biden about his intention to raise the maximum income tax rate, as well as the closure of the largest Turkish cryptocurrency exchange Thodex with 2 billion in wallets.
For the weekend, the priority option - Bitcoin remains in the range of 48000-51000. If we go below 48K, then a correction up to 45K is possible. Do not forget that on the thin weekend market, movements by a couple of thousand points in any direction are possible.
Interestingly, the renowned Economist and Black Swan author Nassim Taleb advises staying away from Bitcoin without citing inflation or the economy. Taleb is a Lebanese-American scholar, mathematical statistician, former options trader, and risk analyst. He was asked about cryptocurrency, particularly bitcoin, given that investors have been increasingly restructuring their portfolios with this asset class. Regarding bitcoin, “It has the characteristics of an open Ponzi scheme. Everyone knows it’s a Ponzi,” he claims, adding: Basically, there is no connection between inflation and bitcoin. None. You can have hyperinflation and bitcoin goes to zero. There is no link between them. Source | news.bitcoin.com Same guy bought and profited from this same “Ponzi” last year. (https://t.me/decryptedge/305)
On the contrary Venture capitalist Tim Draper argues that Bitcoin contributes to the global economy. Cuban Govt is already on it(https://t.me/decryptedge/462). Tim Draper while speaking at the Collision web summit on Thursday, Draper said Bitcoin (BTC) could incentivize governments around the world to compete for the attention and devotion — and seemingly, money — of its citizens. According to the venture capitalist, crypto levels the playing field, so lawmakers will have to choose if they want to make people’s lives better, otherwise they will simply move to somewhere that will. “People are already realizing that they would rather have Bitcoin than fiat currency,” said Draper. “Bitcoin facilitates [a global economy] from the economic standpoint because it is a global currency — it doesn’t care where the borders are. It isn’t tied to one nationality or another.” Source | Cointelegraph.
Remember these are the current support levels we are now looking at: between 55K / 40K. $50500, $47500, $43500 and $41500.
As always wishing you a blessed weekend ahead, and remember must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge,

The world of #computer #security in mourning the death of Dan Kaminsky. As Turkey Changes Tune on #Crypto Ban. Thoughts on the market on 26.04.2021
#Bitcoin updated its lows again at $46930 on #Binance exchange. This correction was quickly redeemed and bitcoin started to grow. At the time of writing this review, #Bitcoin is trading at around 52300. Total Crypto Market capitalization of $1.941 billion and BTC dominance index of 50.4%.
Stock markets opened higher. At the moment, futures for the S&P 500 are slightly positive, oil and gold are growing, Asian indices are trading in different directions.
Bitcoin worked out the priority version of the Saturday analysis and moved in the specified range over the weekend. Drain to 47K (46930 on #Binance) was quickly redeemed and Bitcoin moved to growth, now trying to gain a foothold above 52K.
I did warn several times that the weekend market may move by a couple of thousand points in any direction. If today we can gain a foothold above 53200-53500, then a movement to 55-57K is likely, if we go below 51K, we will return to the previous trading range of 48-51.
Interestingly after the ban Turkey promises to present cryptocurrency regulation rules within two weeks. The governor of Turkey’s central bank said Friday that the finance ministry plans to announce wide-reaching cryptocurrency regulations within two weeks. He ruled out any possibility of an outright ban. In the sharp turn of tune, the governor said “You can’t resolve anything simply by banning crypto, and we have no intention of doing so,” governor Şahap Kavacıoğlu said on the state-run TRT channel.While Kavacıoğlu did not specify what the forthcoming regulation would entail, he hinted that it would clarify the legal definition of “crypto”, and govern how institutions should store crypto. Source | decrypt.co
One of the first Bitcoin code reviewers, Renowned American cybersecurity and cybersecurity researcher Dan Kaminski has died, aged 42. This was announced by white hacker and DEF CON conference organizer Mark Rogers. In 2011, Kaminski, already widely known for discovering a critical vulnerability in the DNS protocol, decided to hack #Bitcoin. The expert developed nine approaches and attacks against the #Bitcoin protocol, but none of them worked. “I've never seen anything like it. He is a world class programmer with deep knowledge of C ++. He understands economics, cryptography and peer-to-peer networks. Either it's a whole team, or this guy is a genius, ”Kaminski concluded. On a personal level I convey my heartfelt condolences. I have interacted with him on twitter a couple of times.
This evening at 8PM EAT we have a special session on #Blockchain meets #Realestate. The link is already up there..

#Binance #Cryptocurrency exchange to list tokenized shares of #Microstrategy, #Apple and #Microsoft, as demand for #cryptocurrencies exceeded PayPal's expectations. Thoughts on the market on 27.04.2021.
#Bitcoin tried to gain a foothold above $54000 several times and did not lead to success, for the last few hours #Bitcoin has been trading in the range of $53,500-54,000. At the time of writing this review, Bitcoin is worth 53,520. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $2.013 Trillion and BTC dominance index of 49.7%.
Equity markets finished trading on Monday in different directions. At the close, the Dow Jones lost 0.18%, the S&P 500 rose 0.22%, and the NASDAQ rose 0.87%. The dollar index dropped 0.07% to 90.773.
Amazingly #Bitcoin met our yesterday’s expectations and stayed above 53K, market capitalization returned above 2 trillion. Altcoins feel confident, the dominance index fell below 50% again, which means they can show further growth.
The priority option for today is (in the absence of negative) Bitcoin in the range of 52000-54000 with an attempt to pass the resistance area at 54500-55000, the further depends on the success of this attempt. If we go below 52K, then again we can test 51-50K
Interestingly David Scott Portnoy an American internet celebrity, blogger, (wall street trader) with more than 2.4 million twitter followers and founder of the sports and pop culture blog Barstool Sports also a weak hands Crypto trader, remember his story of how he entered the crypto market? Back in February 3rd 2020 (https://t.me/decryptedge/273), he bought Bitcoin at 12,400 and sold at 11,500 and told everyone that he was disappointed in the crypto market. Yesterday he again bought Bitcoin at $58,000 and tells everyone that he is the proud owner of 1 BTC. This is a living example of a decline in market audience quality.

Financial giant #JPMorgan will launch a #Bitcoin fund in the summer of 2021. Early this month we spoke about being careful with such subjects. https://t.me/decryptedge/429 today they will say this tomorrow they will be out trashing #Crypto. This fund will be open only to certain clients. If the CEO’s well-documented distaste for bitcoin is any indication – unlikeliest U.S. mega-bank to embrace crypto as an asset class. Two sources familiar with the matter told CoinDesk. Institutional bitcoin shop #NYDIG will serve as JPMorgan’s custody provider, a third source said.
PayPal CEO Dan Shulman on the other end in an interview with TIME, said that the demand for cryptocurrencies has exceeded the company's expectations. Source | time.com.
Lastly a second crypto-exchange Vebitcoin has closed in Turkey. A message about the termination of work due to financial difficulties appeared on the company's website. Turkish authorities blocked the onshore bank accounts of Vebitcoin and detained four people as part of an investigation into the cryptocurrency exchange platform, a local prosecutor said on Saturday. The action came after Vebitcoin announced that it stopped all of its activities citing financial strains. It became the second Turkish platform in a week to face troubles, after authorities detained dozens of people with suspected ties to the Thodex platform. Source | reuters.com

The stock market finished trading on Tuesday in different directions. The Dow Jones rose 0.01%, the S&P 500 lost 0.02%, and the NASDAQ lost 0.34%. The volatility index fell 0.45% and the dollar index rose 0.11% to 90.877.
Bitcoin did follow our priority version of yesterday's analysis and even slightly exceeded it - having consolidated above 55K. It attained highs of $55795 on #Binance, after which it went down and now we are trying to gain a foothold above $55200.
The raise in #Bitcoin was amidst positive news. #Tesla sold part of its assets in Bitcoin and made a profit of $ 101 million, thereby showing the whole world that #Crypto in this case #Bitcoin has liquidity. Immediately after this news, Elon Musk himself took the twitter stage and said that he personally invests in Bitcoin and has not sold even a satoshi. #Hodl.
Against the background of positive news from the #European Investment Bank, Etherum also distinguished itself yesterday and set a new ATH of $2718 on #Binance exchange. EIB intends to use the Ethereum blockchain to issue two-year bonds worth 100 million euros.
The priority option for today is Bitcoin in the range of 53000-56000 and will most likely go above 56K. An alternative option is going to 52K. The main support levels are 55K and 53K, while the main resistance levels are 55500-56000.
Interestingly, #Time Magazine continues to warm up to crypto, naming Digital Currency Group and #Coinbase in the magazine’s 2021 Top 100 Most Influential Companies list. This list emphasized the impact the two crypto giants have made over the past 12 months. The list consisted of four different categories — #Pioneers, #Leaders, #Innovators and #Disrupters. Digital Currency Group was categorized as a Disrupter alongside other big names such as #Tesla, #Huawei, #Shopify and #Clubhouse. Time noted that the DCG is “demystifying crypto for investors” through its subsidiaries, asset manager Grayscale and crypto news website #CoinDesk. As of today Grayscale has $45.5 billion total assets under management, or AUM: Coinbase was listed under Titan along with mainstream giants #Facebook, #Alibaba, #Google, #Walmart and #Amazon. The exchange was described as “shoring up crypto’s credibility” in relation to its direct listing on the Nasdaq on April 14. The exchange earned more revenue in Q1 this year than all of 2020, with a reported $1.8 billion in Q1 compared to around $1.2 billion in all of last year: Addition of #Coinbase and Digital Currency Group is another step along the road of mainstream acceptance of crypto. Just a short while ago it would have been hard to imagine the duo elevated into the company of renowned institutions in the Top 100 list such as Disney, BP, Paypal, Adidas, Spotify and AirBnB.

#Turkey will set up a central bank vault for cryptocurrencies after being scammed on two major exchanges. The government is planning to establish a central custodian bank to eliminate counterparty risk following the collapse of the Thodex and Vebitcoin exchanges last week, according to a senior official familiar with the plans. Authorities are also pondering a capital threshold for exchanges and education requirements for executives at such firms, the official told Bloomberg on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity as the plans haven’t been finalized yet. Faruk Fatih Ozer, the 27-year-old fugitive founder of Thodex, said he was a high school dropout. (https://t.me/decryptedge/476)

Today I am quite inspired. Let me end with this: What was destined for you will come to you even if it is between two mountains, and what was not destined for you will not come to you even if it is between your lips.

Today I am quite inspired. Let me end with this: What was destined for you will come to you even if it is between two mountains, and what was not destined for you will not come to you even if it is between your lips.
As always wishing you a blessed day ahead, and remember must always do your own research. This is not traditional investment or financial advice. #Decryptedge,

German regulator warns #Binance over Stock Tokens as #JPMorgan & 2 other Banks Collaborate to transform interbank value movements in a new #digital era.
Thoughts on the market on 29. 04. 2021
#Bitcoin went below $54,000 several times during the day reaching a low of $53813 on #Binance exchange, after which it moved to growth and reached a price above 56400, but then again rolled back to 54K. At the time of writing this review, #Bitcoin is trading at around $53,884. Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $2.069 Trillion and BTC dominance index of 48.9%
The stock market ended with a fall on Wednesday. The Dow Jones fell 0.48%, the S&P 500 lost 0.08%, and the NASDAQ fell 0.28%. The volatility index fell 1.59% and the dollar index dropped 0.33% to 90.588. Gold and oil rose.
On the cryptomarket, the priority version of yesterday's analysis clearly worked out. The price even exceeded the resistance level by 56K and reached 56428 on #Binance. The dominance index fell to 48.9% with stable Bitcoin above 54K, altcoins will continue to rise. Watch out today for a write-up I promised on BTC Dominance levels.
The priority option for today is Bitcoin in the range of 53500-56500, a successful consolidation above 56K will open the way to the 58K level in the short term. An alternative option is going below 53K, then we can again test 51K. Monthly close is nearby so a lot of price action is expected. We wouldn't want a red candle.
Interestingly, financial holding JPMorgan, together with Singapore's largest bank DBS and investment group Temasek, announced the creation of a blockchain platform for interbank payments. This announcement was made via JP Morgan’s news website. The press release titled: “DBS, J.P. Morgan and Temasek to establish a platform to transform interbank value movements in a new digital era.” Designed as an open platform to encourage broad participation by banks globally. Platform will leverage blockchain technology and digitise M1 commercial bank money to reduce current frictions and latency for cross-border payments, trade transactions and foreign exchange settlements.
Lastly German regulator warns #Binance over stock tokens issued. #BaFin, warned that Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, risked being fined for offering security-tracking tokens without first publishing an investor prospectus. On Monday, Binance announced it would offer tokens, denominated in the exchange’s own cryptocurrency, giving investors exposure to MicroStrategy Inc, Microsoft Corp and Apple Inc. We talked about it here(https://t.me/decryptedge/476). These joined tokens representing Tesla Inc and Coinbase Global Inc that were already trading. Violation of European Union securities law could result in Binance, as issuer, being fined 5 million euros ($6.04 million) or 3% of last year’s turnover. “BaFin has grounds to suspect that Binance Germany is selling shares in Germany in the form of ‘share tokens’ without offering the necessary prospectuses,” it said.

#Telegram Launches New Bond Placement for $ 750 Million & #Ripple Wants Go Public After Settling #SEC Lawsuit. Thoughts on the market on 30.04.2021.
Bitcoin lost support at 54K during the day yesterday, after which it went further down, reaching a local of $52330 on #Binance exchange. This correction was quickly bought out and started to grow. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is worth $54,460 Total Crypto Market capitalization is at $2. 083 Trillion, BTC dominance index is now at 48.2%.
The stock market ended Thursday trading with growth. The Dow Jones rose 0.71%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.68%, and the NASDAQ climbed 0.22%. The volatility index rose 1.91%. Oil closed at 68, gold at 1773.
An alternative version of yesterday's analysis worked on the crypto market. #Bitcoin could not hold above the support level of 54K and moved to a decline to a low price of $52330 on #Binance. Altcoins on yesterday's fall held quite confidently, and even now they are at their best. The dominance index is at 48.2% and continues to fall, which means the altcoin season continues. #Etherum again updated ATH set at $2800, I think in the near future we can expect ETH at 5K being the 2nd #crypto in terms of market capitalization.
Plan for today. If Bitcoin fails to break through the 54K resistance, there is a risk of further decline towards the main support level at 52500. If we do not hold it, then we will go even lower to 50K. The priority is to return above 54K and move towards 56K.
Interestingly, #Ripple wants to go public if it wins the #SEC lawsuit. This comes from one largest outside-Ripple shareholder, Yoshitaka Kitao who believes that the XRP-related firm will go public shortly after settling its lawsuit with the SEC. The company Ripple has not given up on its plans to go public despite its ongoing legal battle with United States regulators, according to SBI Group’s CEO. Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO of Japanese financial giant SBI Group, claimed that Ripple plans to become a public company after the firm settles a legal action brought against it by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs as well as Garlinghouse and Larsen in December 2020, alleging that XRP was a $1.3-billion unregistered securities offering. The company has managed to achieve a series of legal victories, bringing more hopes from investors regarding the lawsuit’s outcome and driving XRP price above $1.4 — a level not seen since January 2018.
