Of course, the irony is, instead of #bitcoin being the 2nd in line to this, it's actually Alipay and Ant Financial (Alibaba)...
1/3 📱Ant Group is extending its cross-border payment service Alipay+ to four Asian e-wallets: the Philippines' GCash, Malaysia's Touch'n Go, Thailand's TrueMoney, and AlipayHK. This move will allow users to pay at over 120,000 S.Korean merchants using their local mobile pay apps
📌 Revivimos juntos en este hilo los mejores momentos de la 🎙️#RondaCripto de ayer: “Palpitando los 10X”
✨ “La ONG se mantiene en la línea de los socios fundadores. Hoy tenemos un desafío en el terreno regulatorio que avanza en distintos niveles tanto en #Argentina como en el resto del mundo. Debemos preservar que el ámbito #Cripto y de #Bitcoin sea libre y seguro.” 👨⚖️ @RikyMihura
⚖️ “A veces las #regulaciones pueden frenar las innovaciones. Tenemos que defender un espacio de creación de nuevas cosas y evitar el error en caer en regulaciones arcaicas a fin de defender el potencial de las #tecnologías #descentralizadas.” 🔄 @RodolfoBits
🧵 I'm often asked, "What's my opinion of #Ethereum?" I have to admit. I made a 💩 load of fiat off #ETH which is 💩 that now yields 5% more 💩 via staking which now ensures it's nothing more than another 💩ty, unregistered, pump-n-dump security. We need more of these? Really??
It took me an #ETH move from $100 or so to over $4,000 to realize the bull 💩 . I did help my traders make a ton to get more #Bitcoin using it, but in truth we just got lucky. We just happened to have started at the right time. I don't recommend it.
#Bitcoin is about freedom from the tyranny of a monetary system designed to steal and enslave those it forces to operate under it. BTC is not about which jpeg money sells for more, or what % of extra 💩 I can earn on the 💩 I already have. 🤡🌏

How to become your own bank 🏦
Financial independence, (or self-sovereignty), is being able to take ownership of your assets and money. It’s having enough to do what you want with your time.
And no, financial independence isn’t just for the rich...

Financial sovereignty is a journey. One in which you become freer and more powerful over time, as your knowledge and toolset develops.
Bitcoin has opened the gates to a new age in which you can claim back control over your finances in a way that was previously impossible.

Unlike other fiat currencies, where central issuers can print and devalue them overnight, #Bitcoin is ruled only by its code—which is protected by its community.
So, how do you get started on your journey?

Today I’ll show you how we can pay for Rent and Living Expenses with our #Bitcoin without selling them.
Using #ZERO from @SovrynBTC , a #DEFI platform running on @RSKsmart , a sidechain that uses #BTC as its native currency as it is merged mined by the BTC miners

All we need to get started is some #Bitcoin and an @RSKsmart enabled wallet, I personally use @Liquality_io , but @MetaMask or @defiantApp work as well.

The #RBTC is always backed 1 to 1 with #BTC and can be traded back and forth
This maintains their value, and once in the @RSKsmart blockchain we can take advantage of #SmartContracts and #DEFI platforms like @SovrynBTC , @moneyonchainok and @tropykus secured by #BTC

A 🧵 about the sodomization of
#Ethereum and why #Bitcoiners should care.
#Ethereum is about to F*ck up in a MAJOR way.

#Ethereum is about to F*ck up in a MAJOR way.
In the book Art of War, there is a quote that seems to fit this scenario perfectly.
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is about to make a mistake.”
#Eth is about to move from POW to POS (proof of stake).
As the primary “competitor” to #btc should just let them continue?

Expecting everyone to be a #Bitcoin maxi or embrace the #bitcoin ethics and values is not only unrealistic but also unnecessary.
The hardcore #Bitcoiners were and still are hugely necessary to stand up the system, and grow the network.

But not everyone owning Bitcoin will exhibit the same values or beliefs, and it is idiotic to assume to require that.
To further adoption, we need to bring Bitcoin closer to the masses, make it a part of every day life as a store value, let regular folks interact with Bitcoin.

Most new Bitcoin users will not be Bitcoin traders or maxis, and may not be technical enough to even understand what blockchain is about, or may not care to do so. Or may not even be nice moral folks, or exhibit questionable morals or values.

#Bitcoiners — Reconcile any bearishness you have with the following:
A) Friday's poll: 80% of you think a $1 million BTC price (~$20 trillion market cap) is enough to trigger global FOMO into hyper- #bitcoin -ization.

This thread is more clear, more conservative and less hyperbolic than last week's.
We know that it takes <$20 trillion flowing into Bitcoin to raise its market cap by $20 trillion.
That's because there's an inflexible supply, unwilling sellers (hodlers) and a small float. ⤵️

B) Some say the multiplier is 3x. @BankofAmerica says it's 107x (see tweets #9–10 in the this thread).
Let's go with only 3x.
That means that $6.5 trillion flowing into Bitcoin would result in a $20 trillion market cap...
and hyperbitcoinization. ⤵️

When considering #Bitcoin, our impulse after a century of mass democracy, is assuming it's a national, political issue, a decision to be made.
But votes don't change reality and nation states can no more stop Bitcoin than the inquisition could stop the printing press.

This because nation states rely on coercion.
No coincidence that the map of Europe had at least ten times more states and a fraction of today's taxes before advent of gunpowder.
For 5 centuries, gunpowder rewarded magnitude over efficiency.
US vs USSR was peak.

@kwerb 1/ Well said @kwerb. When I started writing in 2016 abt the dangers of leverage-based financialization in #bitcoin mkts for @ForbesCrypto, I was worried abt #WallSt banks bringing it. What I missed was that #crypto peeps wld beat the big banks to it—& wld do it MUCH bigger. How?
@kwerb @ForbesCrypto 2/ bc they did it offshore. They beat #WallSt to it bc (1) regulators held back big banks/regulated derivatives exchanges & (2) onshore firms are capped on leverage they can offer. Example: onshore US #BTC futures can be leveraged ~2.5x but offshore can be 20x (was 125x until…
@kwerb @ForbesCrypto 3/ …some offshore exchanges voluntarily reduced it to 20x after much criticism of the practice—deserved, IMHO—but 20x is still much higher than regulators would allow onshore). The recent bull market brought in many speculators (incl many w/ WallSt trading backgrounds). I’d…

@duganist, made a 22% USD return in a single day, March 12th, the same day Bitcoin plunged over 40%, its largest single day decline in the past 6 years!

Reading his book suggestion, "Way of the Turtle", was one of the highest ROE activities I've done in the past 2 years.

From this book, I learned "trend following" as a trading strategy to complement my tools as a buy-and-hold investor.

1) Abro hilo. Ayer cerré mi primera operación en el mundo de las criptodivisas. Y como creo que están en un punto importante os dejo una reflexión de lo que opino. Que puede ser equivocado. O no. $BTC #Bitcoin
2) En primer me encanta la tecnología de las cripto. Creo que cambiará muchas industrias y la concepción de las cosas como hizo internet en su momento.
3) Clasifico a las #criptodivisas como un nuevo mercado financiero. Como las commodities, los metales, o los bonos. Debido a su naturaleza compleja, su poco histórico, su volatilidad y su riesgo para mí es como un bono basura elevado a la potencia que queráis.

'Fed Put' is the overriding narrative for equities, although the actual Fed Put is with Treasuries, and Corp Bonds - as they are actually directly buying both of these
However, there are ways for newly printed money to enter the real economy and end up in stock markets...

...whether by stimulus "big checks" (and Robinhood etc) or the PPT, or other mechanisms, there is clearly a bid on certain risk assets, most notably the 'secular grower' tech stocks (MSFT, APPL etc)

1/This is a thread to all #Bitcoiners and #Ethereans. While tribal infighting is unabated, many parts around the globe are only just waking up to the fact that #Bitcoin and #Ether are the world’s best chance to ultimately fight the global dollar standard (by first promoting it).
2/Our world is ailing under a crushing dollar yoke. After the world wars, the dollar has started its meteoric rise to dominance. Not only did the United States hold most of the world’s gold reserves but also most of its productive capital.
One of the most interesting little details of the Paul Tudor Jones letter no one is talking about is the co-author of the paper: Lorenzo Giorgianni. Details matter & this is why it's as important as the investment itself. So who is Lorenzo Giorgianni? Looking at his Linkedin:
"Prior to joining Tudor Investments in 2013, Lorenzo held several senior positions at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, DC (1996-2013),where he took a leadership role in the IMF’s efforts to revamp the international financial architecture & resolve financial crises.
He has been directly involved in managing financial crises in Asia, Argentina, Turkey and the Euro Area. Lorenzo has published academic research in refereed journals & authored numerous IMF reports on the international financial architecture, including the role of IMF lending,
