Trump will win a resounding reelection and Bitcoin will go to $100k by the end of the year. Let’s check back in November.

@ninaxiang1 For someone that knows what he/she is doing, this is a great entry point. BTW, I hope you've added more BTC to your bag?

BTC is ~44% off its ATH. The idea that institutional adoption would stabilize BTC is 🤷‍♀️ This is a decent entry point - but with broader markets skittish, more downside ahead. You should get excited, not fearful.

$100 for a random follower because I want to spread the love ❤️ No way we are NOT in an AI bubble - i’m pausing allocations to equities and BTC. See y’all on the other side.

#2 & #3 aren’t misleading if #1 is true. But assuming #1 isn’t true (it is), #2 & #3 still stand. #2 isn’t to suggest Tether sells equity after insolvency but rather to avoid insolvency. It’s a highly profitable business generating $bns/yr with low overheads. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest they’d be able to sell equity (even if it is at a discount) to cover any gaps. The gaps btw would be ~$20bn if XAU & BTC marked to 0. Tether equity, even at a large discount should be significantly more than this. On point #3, yes, I agree entirely, I noted this at the end of #3 with lender of last resort. But, #3 is merely to suggest that tether carries significantly less structural risk of a bank run than any major bank given the breadth and selection of assets. I think it’s highly likely an experienced Hayes is sewing seeds of uncertainty in hopes for a better entry.. (Also big fan, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts)

I spent 100’s of hours writing research on tether for @Citi. @CryptoHayes missed a few key points. 1) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 =/ 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 When tether generates $ they have a separate equity balance sheet which they don’t report publicly. The numbers they disclose are under a ‘matching’ philosophy; they’re just showing you how their reserves are backed. The equity balance is sheet is made up of equity investments, mining operations, corporate reserves & possibly more BTC, with the rest distributed as dividends to shareholders. 2) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭. Tether has ~$120bn in interest yielding treasuries which have been yielding ~4% since 2023. That’s ~$10bn in liquid PnL with little cost (150 employees), making it one of the most efficient cash generating businesses in the world. I’m guessing this would make their equity worth somewhere in the $50-100bn range. Although they’ve reported they’re looking to raise $20bn for 3% which would put them at ~$500bn+ valuation. Probably won’t materialise, and likely overvalued, but still highly valuable equity. 3) 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬. 𝟓-𝟏𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟖𝟓%+ 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬. Tether is different but holds similar qualities to a Bank in this regard, and is significantly better collateralised. A key difference is banks are backed by Lender of last resort (Central Bank) but Tether is not. TLDR: Tether isn’t going insolvent, quite the opposite; they own a money printing machine.
Arthur Hayes@CryptoHayes

The Tether folks are in the early innings of running a massive interest rate trade. How I read this audit is they think the Fed will cut rates which crushes their interest income. In response, they are buying gold and $BTC that should in theory moon as the price of money falls. A roughly 30% decline in the gold + $BTC position would wipe out their equity, and then USDT would be in theory insolvent. I'm sure some large holders and exchanges will demand a real-time view of their B/S so they can assess the solvency risk of Tether. Get out your popcorn, I expect the MSM to run wild with this, especially all the editors with TDS who want to shit on Lutnick and Cantor for backing this stablecoin.

TBH this is the easiest bear market I've ever seen. Seems like most of you have forgotten what 2022 was like. Luna collapsing, then 3AC, then FTX, then Genesis, BlockFi, Axie, NFTs--pretty much everything felt like a house of cards. And then after all that stuff collapsed, the BANKS collapsed, stablecoins depegged, Gary Gensler and the president tried to destroy almost every company in the industry--I really wasn't sure how much of this stuff was going to survive. Compared to that? This is breezy. Prices have gone down, yeah whatever. Fundamentals are great. Crypto is working. So relax, get something to eat. Lock in. We'll be fine.

Since the second half of last year, a lot of my friends(OGs in crypto) left crypto, as they started to doubt their original belief in crypto/blockchain/Web3 like do projects really create value to the world, what’s profit market fit, only speculations like meme/perp/prediction projects survive in this cycle, do web3 projects like infra/social really have values? Right now, it’s almost the toughest mode for startups, vcs, traders and users. Narrative play is not working, and hot topics shift every week. Organic liquidity is drained to lower and lower on cex and dex. Even without listing fees, few ppl want to buy new/old tokens. Market manipulators create pump and dump with leveraged perp to operate small cap or old coins every day. We can always say defi or trading is the only pmf for crypto/blockchain. But OGs and builders like @VitalikButerin @pmarca always paint a bigger vision of world computer/web3 to not replace but at least build a better internet or crypto eat the world. With llms like @OpenAI @claudeai, not just crypto but all industries are facing a 100-1000 to 1 problem: one experienced person can do 100-1000 ppl’s job with llm’s help. New tools and products are releasing too fast and will be faster for the next 1-2 years. Not just in crypto but in web2, tech and engineering start to become admin work(assigning tasks to llms to complete). No matter for vcs and startups, keep pivoting and shipping is the only way out, until can dominate the particular sector. Staying relevant is the easy to say but hard and have to achieve to survive in this new meta. My Ph.D. advisor always says persistence pays off. Hope we can win this uphill battle. To friends, to ogs, to builders, to dreamers, to crypto. Based on my chats for the past few months with @VitalikButerin @tkstanczak @hosseeb @sreeramkannan @tarunchitra @ASvanevik @StaniKulechov @Lomashuk @lukejdpearson @13yearoldvc @YeruiZhang @jocyiosg @artofkot @no89thkey @xingpt @broleon

@ninaxiang1 @1x_tech If Optimus is goofy then everything else is going to be goofy. I get why they are working on it. And who knows, maybe if they build enough data centers with quantum computers in them they'll figure it out. In 10 years or so...
