Everybody understands #Bitcoin wrong. Even I did, that's why I've learned so much from @JeffBooth during our conversation. Watch why everyone gets it wrong here: Proposed Text: Watch it here: youtu.be/eKOAw--9y2s

Box 3: VAB vs. VWB - wie profiteert? VAB is beter voor de spaarder VWB is beter voor de belegger. Zeker als je een lange horizon hebt. Dat brengt ons bij een wezenlijke vraag: Wat willen we stimuleren? Beleggen of sparen? Hieronder een uitgebreide analyse 📊

#BTC Moment of truth upcoming for Bitcoin Earlier this week, Bitcoin lost the 200-week EMA (black) as support which meant that "price could turn it into resistance on any upcoming recovery" The recovery is now here And if Bitcoin indeed turns the 200-week EMA into new resistance, that would confirm the breakdown from the EMA to enter additional downside continuation, in line with historical tendencies across cycles $BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin

Het gaat niet om “dikker renderen”. We willen dat beleggingen in Nederland ongeveer even veel renderen als elders. We willen dat ondernemers hier ongeveer even goed aan durfkapitaal kunnen komen als elders. De nieuwe box 3 zet Nederland in beide opzichten op grote achterstand.

Het box 3-plan is in veel opzichten dom: - Het saboteert de expliciete ambitie om Nederlanders (en Europeanen) meer te laten beleggen. - De meerderheid van de bevolking en de Tweede Kamer wil het eigenlijk niet. - Het loopt uit de pas bij de landen om ons heen. - De parameters (verliesverrekening, hoogte van het tarief, illiquide assets, nominaal vs. reëel) deugen niet. Nederland schiet zich in de voet. Ik krijg veel reacties van ondernemers en beleggers uit het buitenland. Wat overheerst: ongeloof en afgrijzen dat een land zichzelf zo beschadigt.

TODAY’S FED FOMC WAS VERY BULLISH. 🇺🇸 The U.S. Fed may have just started the next liquidity wave with 3 rate cuts and a $40 billion in Treasury buying. Today’s FOMC meeting delivered one of the clearest shifts toward easing we’ve seen in the past few years. The Fed cut rates by another 25 bps, making this the third straight cut but what mattered even more was everything Powell said around it. Here’s the full picture in simple words: - The Fed will buy $40B in Treasury bills over the next 30 days, starting December 12 - Powell said T-bill purchases will stay elevated for a few months - Powell said the labor market is still weak - Powell admitted job gains were overstated by 60,000. - Powell said the economy is expected to grow next year, which probably means ISM > 50. - Powell said rate cut decisions will be meeting to meeting, not a preset path - Powell said inflation is still too high, but didn’t talk about hikes - Powell openly said a rate hike isn’t anyone’s base case - Fed projections show modest cuts ahead, not tightening When you put all of this together, it looks like a slow but clear shift toward a more supportive environment. The most important part was the liquidity angle. Treasury bill purchases are one of the easiest ways for the Fed to add liquidity without formally announcing QE. They are not calling it stimulus, but the market will still feel the effect as those purchases flow through the system. Combine that with weaker labor market data and overstated job gains, and the Fed now has a stronger reason to keep cutting if needed. What happens next? Short term volatility will stay. Markets will react to every headline, every number, every new data point. But the broader direction is getting clearer: The Fed is slowly moving away from tight policy and toward conditions that generally support risk assets, including crypto. If the next few inflation prints show even mild improvement, the path becomes even easier. A steady shift in tone, a third rate cut, and fresh T-bill purchases is exactly the kind of foundation that usually starts big market moves. Crypto doesn’t react to words, it reacts to liquidity. And today, the Fed quietly signaled where liquidity is heading.

THE FED JUST CONFIRMED IT, LIQUIDITY MIGHT BE COMING BACK. The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 bps and announced it will end QT on December 1. That means two key shifts, cheaper liquidity and no more balance sheet runoff. In simple terms, the Fed will stop draining money from the system. Since 2022, QT has pulled trillions out of the economy, tightening credit and choking risk assets. That’s one major reason alts couldn’t hold strong rallies, liquidity was being removed every week. Now, that changes. Powell opened the press conference saying this cut was "risk management." He explained that data still suggests the overall outlook hasn’t changed much since the September meeting. Employment remains firm, inflation is easing but still above target. He confirmed: "We haven’t made a decision about December." "We had strongly differing views today." That means there’s no guarantee of another cut in December. This one was about stability not the start of a full easing cycle yet. Powell also said: "Higher tariffs are pushing up some goods prices, but effects should be short-lived." "We think monetary policy is still modestly restrictive." In short, inflation is cooling, but not fast enough for the Fed to commit to more cuts. Still, ending QT changes the direction of liquidity completely. QT ending means the Fed will stop shrinking its balance sheet. Banks will hold more reserves, credit will loosen, and liquidity will start stabilizing. That’s when capital begins rotating back into Bitcoin and altcoins. Powell also addressed several key points: Consumer spending is slowing, especially among lower income households. The Fed is closely watching AI-driven layoffs and data center investments. Some members of the committee now feel it’s time to "take a step back" and pause to assess. All of this means the Fed wants to stay flexible, not promise more cuts, but not tighten again either. But even with Powell’s cautious tone, the message is clear, the tightening cycle is over. Liquidity is coming back. And this could quietly mark the start of the next expansion phase for risk assets and crypto.

Good morning from the beautiful Lombok. I hope you've all survived this massive crash on the markets. The biggest in the history of #Crypto & #Altcoins.

#BTC Bitcoin has performed the exact Daily Close necessary to kickstart a Range breakout $BTC has Daily Closed above ~$123400 (red) & retested it as support today Looks like a breakout is confirmed, just needs to hold above $123.4k for follow-through #Crypto #Bitcoin

A big correction taking place. $BTC couldn't hold support & breaks south, taking liquidity. We'll likely sweep the low sub $107K before we'll reverse. However, 90% of the correction is over. Good times are ahead.

Could the SEC’s green light on Grayscale’s GDLC mark the first US multi-crypto ETF and open institutional access to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano in one regulated product? Read what changed. bitcoinmagazine.nl/nieuws/graysca… #crypto #ETF #Grayscale @GrayscaleInvest

✅ Nov'22 $15.5k was the bottom ✅ 2024 halving was above $32k ✅ 2025 is above $100k These Jan 12, 2023 predictions might seem conservative and obvious now, but at the time ($18k) most people thought I was crazy. So what's next? IMO bitcoin will be >$250k in 2026.

Ultimately, the 25bps was priced in and nothing else changes. However, the path towards market expansion through injecting liquidity and even lower rates has started. Very likely we’ll see higher prices for risk-on assets like #Bitcoin in Q4.

So many #Altcoins are eager to have their big breakout. It's finally that time. Not sure whether we'll have a final sweep first, but things are looking great on the larger timeframes. Just absolutely fantastic.
