Bitcoins - about to hit $5,000 per coin today!

[Flexacon]

Crypto banks were about to get ground into the dust, but got saved by some kinda rescue package from Citadel, Susquehanna and random wealthy crypto bros.

Binance/CZ is about to get a monster fine in the US for compliance issues. It could be up there in the billions.

Crypto has survived the bear market, but I wouldn't be surprised if this pump ends up being exist liquidity for CZ so he can pay that monster fine.

It's not that I don't think spot ETFs won't be approved eventually. More that the path towards it will be rocky. Loads of delays and BS hypocrisy as we're already seeing.

I think the sketchy players like CZ, Justin Sun, maybe even Silbert need to be brought to their knees before the spot ETFs are approved. Those guys have too much control over the markets and it's likely spot ETFs will eventually make them the richest men on the planet. I can't see them being allowed to be a part of "Wall St Crypto" so no spot ETFs until they are gone. You can add the Tether mob to this too.

CZ gone. Old leadership of Tether gone (new guy is kissing Washington ass hard) Silbert neck deep in lawsuits. Sun is becoming a peripheral player (maybe China takes him out)

Sometimes I even amaze myself on these types of calls.

After FTX collapsed, the youtube media all said that CZ is next.

CZ is gone? I've been out of the loop so I haven't seen anything about his downfall.

This was a shakedown by the US government. FTX was a huge DNC donor. CZ declined to bail out FTX. They had an axe to grind with him. CZ is not the bad guy the MSM tries to make him out to be. SBF is the bad guy. CZ also helped Elon buy Twitter. The regressive left also doesn't like Elon. Because he tells the truth. Can't have that!

- CZ to step down as CEO of Binance as part of plea deal for violating anti money laundering rules

- CZ will maintain his majority ownership of firm (similar to Arthur Hayes's arrangement with US authorities when he made a deal)

- Binance to pay $4 billion settlement to DOJ; may be allowed to continue to operate

$4.3 Billion is bribe money. Ivan Tech said yesterday it's a no-brainer that Binance would accept that deal. They can afford it no problem at all. And now the US government will hopefully stop harassing Binance and CZ. I think this was a move for the US to get their claws into Crypto as a hedge. They know US debt is out of control and unfixable. The dollar and other fiat currencies are ultimately doomed. I would be surprised if the US dumps their Bitcoin. They might just hold on to it. And they will be accused of hurting investors if they dump it all.

Regarding CZ being guilty, it's easy to break laws when it's a new industry with a lot of unknowns. CZ probably broke them unknowingly, and anybody can be found guilty with the complex bureaucracy of the US government. They have laws for laws lol! The Deep State and their puppet, the US government, are the biggest crooks in the world! They do not have the moral high ground on anything!

After FTX the youtubers said Binance would be next. I said Binance would likely survive and they'd look to go after CZ. Binance will now be under U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network  monitoring for the next 5 years. It's basically been neutered or captured depending on how you want to look at it. So that's Coinbase, Binanace, post sam FTX, Kraken and a bunch of others who have been  neutered/captured

They (Wall Street and Washington) want to control narrative and price action so are eliminating the old guard. That's been my theory at least  for a while and it looks to be playing out.

Yes, that's the way it looks like to me. I am still staking ETH and a bunch of other tokens on Binance - lol! Hopefully this hush / bribe settlement will be good for ME!

Bitcoin is going corporate, now doubt about it. Its a twin attack. Kill and take over the unregulated exchanges, and kill the unregistered seciruties alts. Then move over and let the big boys of finance reclaim their rightful place, with BTC as the supreme asset, and the exchanges run by the established powers in finance.

You’ve been right.

It’s currently run by a pack of degenerate rug pullers. Absolutely needs to flush out those exchanges. .

Wall St can wreck anybody so The next question is whether they allow the larger coin holders to survive.

Is Saylor worthy?
Is Barry worthy given the SEC hates him and the favoured Blackrock want an ETF?
Are the Winklevoss twins worthy?

Allow me to answer.

Saylor - yes, as he has done everything by the books via a public and SEC compliant company.

Barry - yes.

Gemini - yes, again due to being as regulatory compliant as possible and due to the massive players in finance who hold a stake in the company- they all want their IPO gains.

[Flexacon]

Agree with Saylor being okay, but Barry and the Winklevoss twins have the New York Attorney General going after them right now. She does not want them being allowed anywhere near spot ETFs.

Barry and the Winklevoss twins get fined into oblivion like CZ or the court case drags on and they miss out on all the spot ETF fun. Probably a combination of both.

Gemini doesn't need an ETF. They make their money through trading on their exchange,

No one needs an ETF, but they definitely wanted one. Winkles have been chasing a spot ETF for 10 years! Gemini being a custodian for the ETF and collecting fees would be a huge revenue spinner for them.

I'd also argue evidence points to them being a moderately successful exchange at best. Why else would they have launched the Gemini earn product which was only ever gonna earn them peanuts? They were either really greedy or they were desperate for another revenue stream.

I still cannot get over the fact I totally missed the bitcoin train. Very sad, many such cases.

Food for thought:

https://dailyhodl.com/2023/11/22/trader-unveils-bull-market-price-targets-for-bitcoin-ethereum-solana-and-two-additional-altcoins/

A closely followed crypto analyst is sharing his price targets for Bitcoin (BTC) and four other digital assets.

Pseudonymous analyst Inmortal tells his 201,000 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin could soar by more than 255% from its current value in the next bull market.

He also says that Ethereum (ETH) could soar more than 393% from its current value and ETH competitor Solana (SOL) could soar more than 813% from its current value.

Lastly, the trader predicts decentralized oracle provider Chainlink (LINK) could soar more than 1,190% from its current value, and 0x0.ai (0x0), an AI-powered smart contract auditor, could soar more than 3,378% from its current value.

“I don’t usually do this, but here it goes. Bull run (2024-2025) predictions:

BTC: $131,000

ETH: $9,800

SOL: $490

0x0: $4

LINK: $180.”

Looking at Ethereum, the trader predicts that ETH will soon take out recent high prices and cross the $2,100 level within days.

“Sweep the highs first.”

I have answered this before. You have not missed anything. You are still ahead of the vast majority of the world. Secure what you can now. If not, then you really will regret it, and you really will be at fault for your own failure to act now.

Yes, agree. I think their filing may well be approved in the first round - lets see. One distinction is that most of the other applicants are already ETF operators and listed companies. Gemini is neither.

The exchange is very profitable (as far as I know). Yes, offering the "earn" product, obviously, was due to the desire to make more money. It looked good in theory, until it wasn't... They were given false financial information by Genisis Global, but even so, that does not absolve them of their liability or responsibility, and caused a real blow to their credibility.

Is coinbase safe?

[Schadenfreude]

I put my car up for sale so I can buy btc. Maybe mention in the ad that i  accept btc?

[Mayday]

Saylor - yes, as he has done everything by the books via a public and SEC compliant company.

Barry - yes.

Gemini - yes, again due to being as regulatory compliant as possible and due to the massive players in finance who hold a stake in the company- they all want their IPO gains.

More so a judge of the super wealthy on whether those people deserve to be in their power club.

I outlined Saylor’s strategy. Is it worthy of being next to Bill Gates? Will Bill Gates look at Saylor, judge what he has done and ask him to take a seat?

Barry? been trying to go ETF for years and out of nowhere Blackrock appears and jumped in front of him while the SEC blocked Grayscale. That suggests they don’t want him in the club wouldnt you say?


We agree on BTC and further in the future is where it will likely stretch its legs. But IMO it’s more about the people involved in it right now that Wall St will want to clean out. I don’t think the super rich and powerful want to make the current degens super rich and powerful, easier to fuck it all up now.

How legit is this guy?

Bitcoin to me isn't worth the risk at this point, as it'll most likely be a 2-3x gain.

Potential 5-10x would tempt me to invest in crypto over stocks.

Nobody knows for how much any of these coins will trade. Bitcoin will not give as many gains as some alts, but the problem is the alts will show those gains for a few days or hours and then dump hard! Doge went up to over 70 cents for a few short hours before Elon appeared on SNL. Then it dumped hard. So it is very risky also. You need to know when to enter and exit.

Many people seem to think this bull market will be epic, dwarfing 2017 and 2021. One guy reckons BTC can go up to $1 million in days if ETF buying commences. And quite a few think crypto is going to crash hard in 2026 and it will be like the great depression from 2026-2030.

Who knows what's going to happen?! This time around I am going to take profits. So far I have paper profits and have dumped over $70k into crypto. I want to at least get back my initial $70k. So I need to sell at least $90-100K. Because I'll have to pay at least 20% taxes on that. I am all for hodling, but enough is enough. I had over $120K in Doge profits alone and because I had "Diamond Hands" I rode it down to $10k -lol! Of course, I won't sell at $10K. Fuck no. I'd rather see it go to zero. But if Doge pumps hard you bet your ass I am dumping some.

many people claim that gold has the potential to double with limited risks, maybe look into that,i am not sure

Gold is used in electronics, light switches, etc. If it gets too expensive it will interfere with the world's economy. They will suppress the price. And if you buy gold, you have to get the real physical stuff. Not paper gold. I think gold will be a slower horse than crypto in the long run. I made the mistake of buying a few thousand dollars of silver coins in 2009/2010. Should have dumped that money into Bitcoin. Would have been worth more than $100 million now!
