Aloha! FACECOIN That’s what it will be called when Zuckerburg buys it for $100 a share! Coinbase … eh! I know Bill has been to this rodeo before! That’s the rodeo where everybody and their mother and their mother’s kitchen sink rides the tulip fairy to $64K! I have no crypto currency and I hesitate to call it currency because all the currencies I know that are half legit are backed by a government military. Let me just say what Buffet said about gold. Bitcoin pays no interest or dividend. You will notice Buffet stopped saying that when the BIS… Read more »
Most of the Bitcoin that has been mined is owned by long-term HODLers—or those who “hold on for dear life”—and doesn’t actually circulate, and the price may be inflated by large purchases. Indeed, 95% of all the Bitcoins is controlled by 2.4% of the accounts, according to BofA, and 20% of the supply may be sitting in lost or stranded digital wallets, according Chainalysis. Bitcoin’s scarcity is also a key attraction. The global supply can never exceed 21 million Bitcoins, according to the system’s design. About 18.6 million have been created through mining. But the amount of new Bitcoin that’s… Read more »
Good article,, dave…. I don’t buy dividend stocks, so I usually buy a stock because I think it will go up in value, as I imagine most traders do…I’ve rarely bought a stock specifically for the reason that I use their product, directly or indirectly…The longest I’ve ever held one stock was almost 5 years – Sarepta 2012 – 2017…. I’ve held Editas just over 4 years..
I brought 500 BTBT at $14,50 today, sold MARA and RIOT yesterday at close will buy back if they drop little more.
So, I play them to make money but I also keep in mind that
King of Ponzi scheme died today–Bernie Madoff and COIN is born today
Yes, 2 hours away from me… One thing to remember: a Ponzi scheme has no definitive end point.. Cash outflows matched by money inflows….. And also, the original creator of, and investor in, bitcoin has Not sold one single bitcoin since Day One.. ** I wish I could have convinced you to buy Riot and Mara when I did, at $ 7.76 and $ 10.80’s…. you Did make a good buy on Bit Farm …. *** I did buy SOS today.. they are doing the right things and establishing a strong US mining presence..
8 month ago when I join Bill’s website Before that I had no Idea about Bitcoin, may have heard about it but never try to find out what it is.
Thanks to you and Bill–my knowledge of Bitcoin came from you guys and than i try to read article and try to understand it, to trade it open account at robin hood which almost double now. I did wrote about it here that got 50K dogecoin for 0.054 which is more than double now.
But I don’t have much faith in it
SOS,TIRX,QS,XL fleet are on my watch list for tomorrow,
Kaimu’s ZEN is on order, my price target is $1.50 for 2000 of them.
will sell all my GOLD call option (50) tomorrow if GOLD price goes up a little and free up the money
And this will only help bitcoins acceptance as legitimate store of value… I had a whopper of a tax bill for the past trading year, but I’ve paid every cent I owed… over 32 %…
But you did own bitcoin till recently, right ? Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought you mentioned owning BTC, along with other assets, in a post several weeks ago… Seems bit was around $ 49 k…
US Senate has confirmed Gary Gensler to head the SEC
From Law360.com
The U.S. Senate voted 53-45 on Wednesday to approve President Joe Biden’s nomination of Gary Gensler to chair the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission through June 5, giving the securities regulator a Democratic majority as it tackles an aggressive policy agenda related to climate disclosures and new financial technologies.
This was a good decision. I expect his appointment for an extension beyond June 5 will also happen.
He has a lot of work to do.

Bit Digital was trading above $ 20.00 at 5:00 am today.. their last quarter monthly coin production bested Riot’s latest monthly numbers..
My experience on Biotech, and such, is that during regular hours trading, the stock will usually get within 5% of that 5 am or 6 am high, if the direction remains positive throughout the day..
I too follow the pre-market trades closely as well as London (and to a lesser extent Australia). I find the pre-market a viper’s nest with some of these traders trading a single share to distort the price. SEC should be investigating.
Having said that, when I see volumes are very high at prices that interest me, then I will trade there.
I would like to see 7×24 hour trading with a single national exchange for each country. I think the upstairs markets ought to be banned.
The market is no different than golf… Each day is different. Conditions are different not only every day but every hour or minute. No two shots or no two trades are the same, even on the same hole or same stock. And every single one can mess with your mind – from self doubt, to disgust, to fear, to euphoria. And when everything is on the line, a 2 foot putt on the final hole of a Major, or even a money match at a public course, is as scary as pushing the ‘ buy ‘ key on a $… Read more »
