A study on #bitcoin's volatility and extreme tails. Start of thread... 1/ Key takeaways: 1. As seen below, and somewhat obvious today, bitcoin's volatility has decreased. 2. Bitcoin has consolidated 84% of the time, above the rule-of-thumb 70% given in financial literature. 3. Bitcoin days of extreme volatility seem to have diminished over time. 4. Based solely on recorded volatility, there have been two extremely catastrophic days in the history of bitcoin. Which days? The answer is at the end of this thread. The first chart below provides every single trading day in context on how volatile it is relative to 1 to 4 standard deviations (a.k.a. sigma units). Let's dive in...

@AlanKohler @abcnews And tell me again how a criminal can hold a stablecoin more anonymously than cash? Also stables are backed by central back issued fiat and will soon be counted as collateral against which you can take out a home loan in the US. x.com/pulte/status/1…

@AlanKohler @abcnews The appeal of transferring value using stables lies not in their anonymity (which is a fiction that refuses to die apparently) but in their speed and cost efficiency compared to incumbent value extracting legacy businesses like Western Union.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF MACRON’S SPEECH: 🧵 Macron delivered a very important 15 minute speech to the nation tonight in which he announced he will offer France’s nuclear weapons umbrella “to all allies on the European continent” Tomorrow, the EU leaders will meet to decides on Europe’s remilitarization. Hundreds of billions of euros will be spent on defense. Here’s the full transcript of the speech: “Inknow that you are legitimately concerned about the historic events that are shaking up the world order. The war in Ukraine, which has resulted in almost a million deaths and injuries, continues unabated. The United States of America, our ally, has changed its position on this war, supporting Ukraine less and leaving doubt as to what will happen next. At the same time, the same United States intends to impose tariffs on products from Europe. Finally, the world continues to grow ever more brutal, and the threat of terrorism continues unabated. All in all, our prosperity and security have become more uncertain. It has to be said that we are entering a new era. The war in Ukraine has now been going on for more than three years. From day one, we decided to support Ukraine and sanction Russia. And we were right to do so, because it is not only the Ukrainian people who are courageously fighting for their freedom, but it is also our security that is under threat. If one country can invade its neighbour in Europe with impunity, then no one can be sure of anything any more, and the law of the strongest will apply, and peace can no longer be guaranteed on our own continent. History has taught us that. Beyond Ukraine, the Russian threat is there, affecting the countries of Europe, affecting us. Russia has already turned the Ukrainian conflict into a global conflict. It has mobilised North Korean soldiers and Iranian equipment on our continent, while helping these countries to further arm themselves. President Putin's Russia violates our borders to assassinate opponents and manipulates elections in Romania and Moldova. It is organising digital attacks on our hospitals to stop them operating. Russia is trying to manipulate our opinions with lies spread on social networks. And basically, it's testing our limits. It does so in the air, at sea, in space and behind our screens. This aggression seems to know no bounds, and at the same time Russia continues to rearm, spending over 40% of its budget on it. By 2030, it plans to have increased its army still further, with 300,000 more soldiers, 3,000 more tanks and 300 more fighter planes. Against this backdrop, who can believe that the Russia of today will stop at Ukraine? As I speak and for years to come, Russia has become a threat to France and to Europe. I deeply regret this and I am convinced that in the long term there will be peace on our continent with Russia once again at peace. But this is the situation I am describing to you, and we have to live with it. Faced with this dangerous world, it would be foolish to remain a spectator. Without further delay, we must take decisions for Ukraine, for the safety of the French, for the safety of Europeans. First and foremost for Ukraine. All the initiatives that are helping to bring about peace are moving in the right direction. And this evening I would like to pay tribute to them. We must continue to help the Ukrainians to resist until they can negotiate with Russia a solid peace for themselves and for us all. That is why the road to peace cannot involve abandoning Ukraine. Quite the contrary. Peace cannot be achieved at any price and under Russian dictatorship. Peace cannot be Ukraine's capitulation. It cannot be its collapse. Nor can it mean a ceasefire that is too fragile. And why not? Because here too we have the experience of the past. We cannot forget that Russia began invading Ukraine in 2014 and that we then negotiated a ceasefire in Minsk. (1/?) 🧵
