Bonjour @NastasiaHdj , comme vous n'avez pas pu venir à Annecy au #Bonly ce weekend (vous deviez être en train de re-regarder des épisodes du Bunker au chaud sous un plaid), je me permet de vous envoyer une vidéo de la fête qui a lieu entres Bitcoiners Maxis samedi soir

$XRP #Ripple's #XRP just doesn't care what #Bitcoin does at this point. It continues to run on its own timeline. 5% away from ATH. Who's ready? 🔥

The #Bitcoin market is gripped by tension. Since its all-time high in March, BTC plunged -27% (now correcting to -20%), falling from over $73k below $54k at one point. By Bitcoin's standards, this dip is not that impressive, but the market is particularly scared, the "Fear" sentiment reaching the levels of early 2023, just after the FTX crash. Unlike that time, however, this time there's no major catastrophe—just increased selling pressure due to several identifiable (and quantifiable) factors. What's more, the potential upside factors are building up. Here's the TLDR of our recent newsletter analyzing the state of Bitcoin market: ↘️ Key Selling Pressures: 💸 Mt.Gox: The market is scared that the reimbursed creditors will dump the impressive amount of 141,687 BTC ($8.7B) on the market. So far, only 1,545 BTC have been transferred to an exchange, but the market dumps each time Mt.Gox trustees move their BTC around. That would suggest mostly psychological reasons, rather than real BTC hitting the market (thus far). 👮 German Govenment Sales: Out of the seized 50,000 BTC, it has already transferred around 24k to the exchanges. ⛏️ Miners: Their increased selling due to higher energy costs and reduced profitability exerts a stable selling pressure. However, with the reserves hitting a 14-year low and hashrate drawdown nearing the post-FTX level, the miner capitulation is close. And this means a new start :) ↗️ Bullish Indicators: 💰 Institutionals buy the dip : U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs saw over $560M in net inflows isince mast Friday, indicating renewed interest after many weeks of outflows. Such behavior is possibly reflecting the hopes for the Fed cutting rates in September due to the positive macro data. 🤠 High-Profile Investors: Michael Dell could become a new Bitcoin whale and join the likes of Bitcoin OGs like Michael Saylor keeps buying (MicroStrategy now holds 226,331 BTC). Eventually, the market absorbs any selling pressure. With most concerns now stemming from speculation about Mt. Gox creditors selling their coins (rather than a catastrophic crash), we could hope for a healthy rebalancing of selling and buying pressures. That is, of course, assuming the creditors act more or less rationally—an assumption that isn't guaranteed 😬 Read the full version in ENG or FR on d.center/posts/bitcoin-…

#Bitcoin ne sert à rien : une démonstration Enfin, pas tout à fait...

Last year, it seemed like US politicians were putting all their might into stifling the #crypto industry. This year, the tide is turning 🌊 In the halls of power in Washington, the conversation around crypto is shifting from skepticism to seeing it as a way to score political points. We've summed up the recent changes in the US political landscape, from Donald Trump’s crypto conversion (Biden soon?) to the FIT21 legislation and power moves within Federal Agencies. Read on to discover the key political changes that can influence the global crypto market 👇 d.center/posts/crypto-t… #cryptoregulation #Bitcoin

One of the reasons a #Bitcoin spot #ETF approval was so important for the crypto world is that it would give traditional financial institutions the possibility to invest in BTC. Why were these institutions important? Because through them, millions of people who would now otherwise dare to buy BTC would get exposure to it. 🏦The type of financial institution that invests in #BTC ETFs is important for understanding if this thesis is proven true. In other words, are there only hedge funds and investing advisors ready to gamble with the money of their high-net-worth clients, or are there more socially responsible entities, like pension funds or insurance companies. The recent SEC F13 filings of BTC ETF holders have clarified things a lot. Over 1,000 ETF investors declared their holdings, with the biggest one being Millenium Management (investment firm) with $1.94 billion 💰 Unsurprisingly, the top-10 are mostly investment advisors, hedge funds, and trading firms. However, the ETF holders list also contained some extremely curious entities, such as The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB). It invested $163 million in BTC ETF, which represents only 0.1% of its assets, and many consider that the pension fund is just testing the waters and gauging public opinion before investing much more. Back in 2021, the Houston Firefighters' Relief and Retirement Fund 🧑‍🚒 made headlines by investing approximately $25 million in Bitcoin, a move that remained an isolated case at the time. Now, as more pension funds begin diversifying into BTC (btw the Government Pension Investment Fund of Japan is said to consider BTC too), it could usher in a whole new era for the Bitcoin market. Imagine just a tiny share of the trillions of dollars currently managed by pension funds invested in bitcoin – what a massive buying pressure this could create for the leading #crypto! 🤩 The main barriers are still psychological and political: bitcoin is considered too volatile and too dangerous (mostly for the reputation 😏) That’s why pioneers like the Wisconsin pension fund are important. Looking forward to the next wave of F13 flings 👀 #finance

🙄Cette vidéo date d'hier seulement... Avec l'acquisition de Bitstamp par Robinhood, l'UE perd son seul exchange important, et file tout droit vers un rachat de ses acteurs majeurs, un par un, tandis que les autorités se félicitent de leur cadre "innovant", façon "qu'ils mangent de la brioche", et appellent à un MiCA 2 avant même que le 1 ne soit appliqué. On les voit venir les tables rondes dans quelques années. On y invitera une FBF faussement triste, un secrétaire d'Etat au numérique hautain, une député européenne responsable de MiCA/TFR, et un régulateur "audacieux". Ensemble ils se féliciteront d'avoir créé un "cadre équilibré qui protège nos concitoyens et positionne l'Europe à la pointe de la réglementation". Pendant ce temps, les entreprises françaises se voyaient fermer leurs comptes bancaires de façon illégale, les professionnels du secteur étaient contraints à l'exil, la fiscalité kafkaïenne contraignait les usages innovants, l'Europe lançait Europeum, et certains félicitaient et mettaient en avant SBF pour ses positions "écolo" anti-Bitcoin, envoyant à l'abattoir des milliers de personnes 1 an avant qu'il ne commette la plus grosse fraude depuis Enron. Comme on disait à l'époque d'Internet, « On ne va pas faire une jupette pour aider à la vente des PC, c'est absurde. ». Et de toute façon « Penser que les 18 millions d'utilisateurs du Minitel vont basculer sur Internet, c'est à peu près aussi idiot que de dire qu'on va verser la mer Méditerranée dans une tasse de thé. ». Merci Monsieur Théry pour votre clairvoyance et rassurez-vous, vos successeurs en ont hérité. Alors quand la question viendra, "qu'est ce qui a raté?", tout le monde regardera par terre. Mais on trouvera bien un bouc émissaire pratique : manque de talents ? manque d'audace de nos entrepreneurs ? Pas assez de taxes ? Ou alors plus simple encore : la faute des méchants bitcoiners ? On sait déjà comment ça devrait se terminer : soit une grande commission chargée d'établir un rapport, qui prendra deux ans, et calera une armoire, soit un grand plan "European Crypto Act", financé par la planche à billet, en retard et pour un montant insuffisant, qui sera à nouveau pompé par des spécialistes de la ponction de fonds publics et ravira les protagonistes de ce capitalisme de connivence. Mon engagement, c'est d'essayer d'éviter ce scénario malheureusement probable. Et c'était la raison que je développais chez @TheBigWhale_ lorsque j'ai rejoins @paymium. Le succès de Paymium est notre affaire à tous. Il nous faut une bourse majeure en Europe. Je conjure les politiques de se réveiller maintenant, au risque de rempiler pour 20 ans de vassalité numérique, monétaire et financière, à demander l'avis des Etats-Unis pour bouger le petit doigt. Et j'appelle tous les professionnels de la finance, la banque ou la gestion d'actifs à nous contacter pour travailler ensemble, mais aussi tous les particuliers qui souhaitent faire leurs premiers pas dans #Bitcoin à considérer passer par chez nous plutôt que par des acteurs offshores.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard much about #DeFi, and yet, it is still alive and kicking. What's more, it's gaining momentum 📈 However, DeFi in 2024 is much different from DeFi in 2020 - new protocols (liquid staking and restaking), new blockchains (#solana, #tron and #bsc), and new trends emerge, together with the new problems and opportunities. Here’s what you need to know about the state of decentralized finance 👇 lnkd.in/gFPa_tfV #crypto #finance

#Ethereum price action has been rather mediocre in this growth cycle, raising questions about the future of the second-biggest cryptoasset. Weak capital influx, uncertain ETF prospects, ETH inflation rising after the Dencun upgrade, and the “Ethereum killers” breathing down its neck... Here's our analysis of the state of Ethereum from different standpoints: market, technology, and competitors. Read on 👇 d.center/posts/will-eth…

#Bitcoin is a machine that liberates people from the irresistible temptation to debase money, as put by @BTCPrague, the most European of all big-shot Bitcoin events 🇪🇺💊 We are happy to share a 10% discount for this year's tickets with our friends👇 btcprague.com/?promo_id=1900…

It's been two months since #Bitcoin spot ETFs went live on the US market. To say that they have achieved a stellar result 🚀 would be an understatement. For Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas, it is "simply absurd". #BlackRock's $IBIT and #Fidelity's $FBTC have registered 3- and 4-biggest year-to-date flows among the world's biggest and meanest funds 💼💰 To help you seize how absurdly high traditional #finance's interest in Bitcoin is, here's the tickers' translation in plain English: 1) $VOO - Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 2) $IVV - iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (BlackRock) 3) $IBIT - iShares Bitcoin ETF (BlackRock) 💊 4) $FBTC - Fidelity Bitcoin ETF 💊 5) $VTI - Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF 6) $SPLG - SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (State Street) 7) $QQQ - Invesco Nasdaq-100 Index 8) $VGIT - Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF 9) $IVE - iShares S&P 500 Value ETF 10) $LQD - iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF

TL,DR: there could be no liquid BTC in 6 years. Here's why 👇 #Bitcoin price is over $61k, and it should be a matter of time before it reaches its previous all-time high of $69k. In fact, it already done it in over 16 countries, including Japan, Australia, and the UK 📈 However, there's oddly little buzz in media and social networks 🤔, and Google searches for "Bitcoin" are nothing like the crazy interest we saw in 2021-22. This leads us to believe that this rally is mostly stimulated by the US institutional investors, massively buying the newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs. Indeed, the YTD flows for spot BTC #ETF have exceeded $5.7 billion (cf CoinShares), bringing Bitcoin investment to a whole new scale. With bitcoin becoming ever scarcer, this is a recipe for supply shock. Let's put things in perspective: out of 19.66 million mined bitcoin, almost 70% haven’t moved in a year, 29% haven’t moved in 5 years, and 14% haven't moved in 10 years. This means that 5.7 million BTC are de facto out of the market, 8 million BTC will not be sold until the price reaches substantially higher grounds (three figures at least), and only 5.9 million are truly liquid. Now imagine that institutional investors keep their appetite at the current levels (i.e. 1.08 million BTC bought per year), this will mean that the liquid BTC supply would be exhausted in 5.5 years. Or 6.2 years if we assume that newly issued BTC are immediately sold. Of course, this is an extremely approximate calculation, but it does give an idea of how scarce bitcoin is. But there’s more: some arguments suggest a further increase in institutional interest: positive regulation changes for institutional-grade BTC investments in Japan and Hong Kong, and the increasing commercial activity from the US ETFs. #Fidelity already puts 1-3% “crypto” in its popular all-in-one funds. And this is not even counting the retail interest, growing together with adoption and rising inflation. Bitcoin is scarce and will become even scarcer after April’s halving. You know what that means 👀

In life, there is no such thing as a free lunch. In #crypto, there is no such thing as a no-fail investment. Yet, crypto's unique nature and needs have led to the emergence of #airdrops - free token distribution to early users 🪂 Here's a short guide explaining different types of airdrops and how you might qualify for them, as well as a list of some of the most expected crypto giveaways of 2024 👇 d.center/posts/crypto-a… Lire en français: d.center/fr/posts/crypt…
