Crypto Daily 3@3 9.25 | BTC drops! / Does WeWork matter for crypto? / Incognito mode for payments pscp.tv/w/cFu3-DE0Nzc1…
What we're discussing:

+1. Number go DOOOWN. Bakkt backlash? Margin calls? Something else entirely?

+2. A slew of new VC funding for crypto co's, including for @fold_app's "incognito for payments"

+3. Does the correction in tech co valuations have implications for crypto?
@fold_app My takes:

+1. I have no idea man. What I do know is that the best way to enjoy the BTC ride is to be long term.

+2. Bringing privacy to transactions after the base layer is A+. Also @fold_app - @trylolli competition could be amazing for the world of adoption.

Crypto Daily 3@3 - 9.24 | Bakkt launch - fly or flop? / Kik kicks the bucket / SEC in Congress pscp.tv/w/cFphjDE0Nzc1…
What we're talking about:

1. Bakkt launch - what to make of the volume?

2. Kik has shut down and shifted all remaining resources to KIN

3. All 5 SEC commissioners testify before Congress
My 🔥 takes:

1. Expecting huge pops upon Bakkt launch was almost certainly going to lead to disappointment; it's a long term play

2. This wasn't an ICO killing a successful app; it was an ICO as attempt to save an app past its prime and it didn't work.

3. Nothinburger.

Narrative Watch 9.23 | MEME WARFARE: 'Bitcoin fixes this' vs. 'ETH is money' pscp.tv/w/cFkUvTE0Nzc1…
What are we talking about?

1. The power of memes in the industry and how they drive markets

2. The specific shift in 'bitcoin fixes this' from an almost tongue-in-cheek meme to something that captures the generational hedge of BTC

3. The rise of 'ETH is money'
My hot takes?

1. Bitcoin fixes this is the best BTC meme right now. It's better than digital gold and safe haven which both bring a ton of baggage from other industries.

2. ETH is money shows that the Ethereum community *heard* the message in "How To Meme BTC to the moon'

#BTC soran arkadaşlar: Böyle sayıyorum. Kısa vadede yükseliş muhtemelen sona ermek üzere. Ancak orta vadede (muhtemelen 6.500-7.000'e kadar) geri çekilip bir atak daha (muhtemelen 13.650) yapmasını beklerim. Bence [Y] düşüşü öncesinde [X] içinde. Bu pilav daha çok su kaldırır.
Çok nadir BTC yorumu yapıyorum, son yorumum şuydu: twitter.com/TuncerSengoz/s…

$BTC vs $USD pairs

How to play?

BTC Up-Trend = Play USD Pairs

BTC Down Trend = Play BTC Pairs

BTC sideways = Play Both

BTC indecisive = Be selective & be prepared to jump either ways on short notice

This is relevant if #Bitcoin Dominance is high & rising up

Thread / 2
If #Bitcoin dominance is diminishing & on its way down, we can play:

$BTC Up-Trend = Up-Trending ALTs with stronger trends than BTC can offer higher profits in USD terms. You get the benefit from BTC up trend + ALTs uptrend

Thread / 3
If #Bitcoin dominance is diminishing

#BTC down trend = Play BTC paired ALTs with strong up-trends. This will help you to beat negative BTC returns & accumulate more #Bitcoins

#BTC sideways = Play whatever is trending

#BTC indecisive = Be prepared to jump either ways

@realDonaldTrump #Tuesdaythoughts on #healthcare (tangent style):

You, President Trump, have clearly made some progress in understanding some of the issues with the ACA (despite your failure to realize it was originally a plan devised by the Federalist Society ie Barr/Kavanaugh types). 1/
@realDonaldTrump Nonetheless, you have correctly identified (a) #premiums (b) #deductibles and (c) coverage for pre existing conditions as key issues to address. Indeed.

@realDonaldTrump Plus, the kicker for me at least is to make #PPO plans available to everyone not just for those who get their health plans through their employer (in sum, #HMO/EPO/POS = 👎; PPO = 👍 ....

Completed Wyckoff structure. Looks scary similar.
p.s. this model was designed almost a century ago, people didn't have calculators and were drawing charts by hand using pencil and ruler.
