Which one of you is dumping Shib and not letting me get my pump on?

Not me buddy. But there is one narrative and concern that shortly after BTC is approved, the SEC and others will finally crack down hard on alts and exchanges who deal in them. Certainly the SEC can say "you have been warned" and they have warned so many times. Post BTC's corporate legitimization, all the powers that be will be massively incentivized to further emphasize the distinction between Bitcoin and "crypto". We will see this at a regulatory level, at an advertising and market education from all the ETF's, and we might just see the exchanges be pulled into voluntary compliance. Remember, many of those in traditional finance do not benefit from crypto. They are about to get BTC as their toy, and so are inherently incented to ensure BTC succeeds, and further to attract any funds in alts into the realm.

Market will also be looking closely at any language around this topic from Gensler (it may be direct, or it maybe subtle requiring a little deduction). Also interesting on ETH, which may just escape the wrath of the SEC, or may not, so we could well see Eth move in 2 totally different directions, depending on the stance taken.

gib is the only one I think.

Some dude (not aobsidian) came on here back in 2021 and said he had 750k in Doge and I believe from there price doubled and he was holding. Even if he dumped at lows he would still have a couple hundred grand.

I have $100 invested in ‘spastic’.
I remember that guy!

My crypto portfolio touched half a million in the previous bull market. It's in recovery mode now, hopefully soon to breach $300,000. I am just going to HODL this shit - again! But this time I will take profits for sure. I'll pay taxes upfront as soon as it is cashed out, that way I won't have any nasty surprises waiting.

Honest question. Who here is a Bitcoin millionaire?
If I recall, Gib had over 50 BTC. Perhaps more. His crypto portfolio has to be at least $2-3 million.

I hope so! Ethereum pumped nicely today. ETH FUD has been extreme this year.

I am also impressed with how well BNB did with all the FUD directed at Binance. It's almost 50% back to ATH prices. BNB tokens are also slated to be burned until the supply reaches 100 million. It very well could go beyond $1,000 this time around. The previous ATH was just shy of $700. I bought most of my BNB when it was $8. I really should have paid closer attention to the tokenomics a few years ago. Doge, for example, has a lot of inflation with no end in sight. We'll see what happens once the Doge coin officially lands on the moon.

At 76 BTCs now, so $7,600,000 once BTC hits 100K. :)

How come ETH is rallying like crazy while BTC is completely dying off after the ETF approval? ???

ETF is and always was a sell the news event.

Volume is fine on large exchanges. I sold 500k in 60 seconds no sweat. It isn’t price movement that’s the issue, it’s the spoof orders. Binance is fucking useless for volume, they are corrupt as hell.

So I’d use a larger exchange where I only have to deal with Bots. A buyer might have 2M setup on their bots But a bot might only place 10k orders in 0.2% price levels. If you dumped 500k you’d wipe the orderbook but hit with smaller lots you’ll only clear the one price area. 1s later the Bot replaces that same price with another order ;)

It scares smaller players but moving half a mill I’d pick my timing and then keep whacking market sell orders in 30k-50k-70k lots until I cleared it. Bots always came back for more. No price slip.

The bullmarket is back.

Someone placed a $6m buy order on a lowcap meme coin today which had 2.5M in liquidity.

It sent the price up x40 and then it crashed 90%. That $6m instantly became $600k

Was that you affeman?

Some feel that the ETH's spot ETF applications are not priced in. BTC has outpaced ETH in 2023, as it did in the past, between bull runs. When the 2020/2021 bull market ended, ETH initially showed more resilience compared to BTC and other cryptos. But it did not hold and eventually capitulated like all the other projects.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etf-next-for-sec-approval-analysts

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas previously told Cointelegraph he couldn’t see a scenario where spot Bitcoin ETFs are approved but spot Ether ETFs aren’t.

“The Ether spot is tied to the hip of Bitcoin spot for sure. It’s gonna go wherever it goes. It’s basically like on a 15-foot rope following it.”

Meanwhile, digital asset lawyer Joe Carlasare has also tipped for spot Ether ETFs to be approved this year but believes “it will take a bit longer than folks expect.”

“Ethereum spot ETFs will be approved [but] the SEC will try to carefully craft a precedent that permits them to retain some discretion in determining which digital asset ETFs will be permitted to come to market.”

Balchunas said he estimates a 70% chance that spot ETH ETFs will be approved by May — which is the month the SEC must make a final decision for several applications — though he said the timing for launch was less clear.

They bought more. $8.8m in total and down $5m now.

Also someone sent Satoshis wallet 26btc, $1m plus basically burned.

Marketing maybe to whip everyone into a bull market frenzy.

It's working  :D

This is really going to help the valuation of my UGL, which I’m using to borrow against to get a mortgage on an AirBB I’m looking to buy. Can’t brew forever.

Give it more than just a few seconds my man. Inflows to BTC will be over the course of years and decades. Not seconds or minutes which is about the attention-span of the nickel and dime alt degens...

Bitcoin, Alts and even real degen shitcoins mostly tracked SPX today. It's been a long time since it's tracked like this. Might become the new norm thanks to the ETFs.

That sucks. Degen move for sure.

A Dev launched one of these Degen Meme coins. Dumps his holdings on everyone just after launch and makes a cool 500k or so. The coin then gets enough steam to go 100x and the dude missed out on all of it lol 😂

The ICOs now are pretty much rigged. I did one the other week but the price I get is around 14x higher than the Devs and then it launches 20x from their price. In other words Devs can dump at 100x and for me it’s a 7x. This is what I mean when I say everything is already frontrun. You’ll never get the 100x anymore because you need to be a Dev.
