A little volatility today lol.

There is only one true hedge against the dollar.

My biggest gear in cryptos is governments and central banks.

The media has a horrible need to ascribe reason for market movements.

Bitcoin falls below $54,000 as derivatives positions worth over $1 billion are liquidated
by Yogita Khatri
February 22, 2021, 7:55AM EST · 1 min read

The price of bitcoin has fallen below $54,000 from nearly $58,500 on Sunday as derivatives positions worth more than $1 billion get force liquidated by crypto exchanges.

About $1.50 billion worth of open interest was liquidated by crypto exchanges in the last 24 hours, according to tracker Bybt.com. In other words, crypto exchanges liquidated traders' overleveraged positions.

Traders overleverage, or trade on margin, thinking that bitcoin's price would go up and they would benefit more. But when bitcoin's price goes below the liquidation price of their positions, exchanges force liquidate or close their positions because traders cannot fulfill margin requirements of their leveraged positions.

"In the past weeks, a lot of accumulation on the long side happened, so traders should expect such correction events," Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino told The Block, adding that such corrections are "normal."

Most of the liquidations occurred on Binance, followed by Huobi and Bybit. While in terms of crypto assets, bitcoin positions formed most liquidations, followed by ether (ETH) and XRP.

Bitcoin is currently trading at around $53,400, according to tracker TradingView. Meanwhile, ETH is trading at about $1,775.

This is why the "crypto" narrative gets pushed so much. The exchanges, VC's, shatcoin insiders, etc want clueless retail "traders" swapping 100 useless tokens, with leverage so they can reap max profit. 99.99% of people have no business trading.

Very few VC's and insiders profit from the super simple and time proven "dollar cost average buys of bitcoin only and hold your own keys" - Yet nothing in the "crypto" (cringe) space has been (or will be IMO) better than this strategy.

Right. Imagine how silly our monetary system is that it requires us to prop up mega-corperations that hate our lifestyles and politics in order to preserve our wealth.

Well i hope it goes up, I bought a little XLM at .45 and a few more at .55. think ill buy a little while its in the 30's just so i can make up my loss. Maybe one day it will be worth a couple bucks a piece. I figure it wont hurt to gamble a couple hundred bucks. wish i had some when it was a couple cents a share.

Only thing with ripple(XRP) at the moment is its current issues with the SEC. KInda need to see what happens with that. Once those issues are cleared things might improve there. XRP is still cant be traded on Coinbase.

Not really crypto related, but sort of

If you look at the SPY chart. It shows a very distinct ascending wedge pattern. The tip of the wedge appears to meet in the very near future. Couple days, maybe a week.

When it meets, it’s generally very bad news for the markets.

Proceed with caution

If they finally pass the stimulus package, disaster averted

I think if/when the stimulus bill passes we will see a sell off , not a rally. But I think, in the long run we will see 4450 or thereabouts on the S&P by year end. It won't be fun getting there though.

Had to look away from the red lines. Good day to untangle the scrap wire and start to strip off the insulation.
