#Bitcoin
's recent price action has been anything but bullish.
SEC guidance has been vague and Sen. Warren has been particularly critical of crypto.
Then Fed Pres. Powell called crypto "not a threat to financial stability” and described stablecoins “useful”-if regulated.

A thread by
@PrestonPysh
arguing that the economic growth shown in equity markets is largely an illusion created by money-printing (i.e. inflation) 👇
Why does everything feel like the world is falling apart, yet the stock market has looked like this since 2009?
Well, here's a thread w/ some interesting charts that will help you understand: what you see is NOT what you get.

's climb took a hiatus for a few weeks but remains up 160% over the past year, and Web3.0 is only getting started.
Also, Congress met last week with crypto leaders about regulatory clarity. They are starting to tackle the learning curve and ask critical questions.

While on-chain selling has been minimal,
#Bitcoin
has been stuck at the lower end of its price channel. Why?
Technical experts have suggested that paper trading is the reason. Here crypto legal-expert Caitlin Long elaborates on the idea:
QUESTIONS ANSWERED here about this🧵(thx for all the engagement!)
1) what do u mean by paper
#bitcoin
?
2) is all leverage bad?
3) why so sure that a leverage-flush reckoning day will come for bitcoin? Gold investors have waited forever.
4) can't traders hedge the risk? (haha, no)
XBTO would like to thank partners Genesis Trading and the CME for making the launch of the first Micro ETH futures product (MET) possible, offering professional traders a whole new level of precision.

There’s so much going on in crypto, but little of it makes sense taken out of context. Sometimes we lose sight of the big picture.
This new year is a great time for the blockchain community to pause and contemplate the path forward...

Info on public ledgers is free to all. This allows for revolutionary new business models.

Yesterday Sec. Yellen wrote to Sen. Toomey, stating that non-custodial crypto entities shouldn't be subject to FATF regulation.
This clarification seems to exempt virtual asset providers including: hardware wallet makers, un-hosted wallet providers, software devs. & miners.

A gallery owner gets his NFTs hacked. OpenSea responds by locking the NFTs from market. OS while never claiming to be decentralized, benefits from that branding and historically treated customers with neutrality.
The transition to Web3 may not be as smooth as people imagine🤔
Walton Comer manages trading and risk management. He also develops and optimizes the trading algorithms.
Walton was one of the first algorithmic traders to provide liquidity to major crypto exchanges and a key figure in the formation of the CME strategy for crypto futures.
There are vast numbers of projects happening right now in the crypto space.
Massive talent is migrating in from Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and with it comes the development experience to build truly market-ready applications.
2022 is just getting started!
In 2010, brothers Patrick and Walton Comer co-founded Lucid, a New Orleans-based martech co that just announced their acquisition by public company CINT for $1.1bb! Walton is XBTO's co-founder and CIO.

The last two months have been a dramatic ride for
#Bitcoin
ETFs.
In Oct. the SEC approved 3 Bitcoin futures ETFs (ProShares, Valkyrie and VanEck), but has been hesitant to approve 30+ physically backed or “spot” Bitcoin ETFs like Canada did earlier this year.

Today experts meet with Congress to try to end
#Bitcoin
environmental FUD once and for all.
In 2017 the WEF claimed that by 2020
#BTC
would use more power than the world produced.
The prediction was false and BTC is now becoming a catalyst for the development of
#ESG
power. 🌎

This exemption would presumably apply to nodes and validators also.
While generally positive, Sec. Yellen warned that this is only guidance and does not exclude intermediaries who hold actual keys to funds.

Today however, SEC Chair Gensler was far more hawkish on crypto, calling for registration of the "platforms" in citing public protection as his motivation.
He also stated that "
#Bitcoin
is a competition to the U.S. banking system." 👀

The new Intel chip claims to be 1000x more energy efficient for SHA-256 based mining. We already use hydro-electric power for 100% renewable, zero-emission mining at XBTO Digital. 🌊🌊🌊
The environmental arguments against crypto are fading...
Brazil’s
#Bitcoin
decisions could be more significant than they seem:
The 10% off on taxes paid in
#BTC
might be recouped in accounting efficiency.
This would also help fund their 1% treasury goal, and if stabilizing, may cascade FOMO in peers with weak currencies.
XBTO CEO
@philippebek
illustrates the unique relationship between $BTC and
#altcoins
like
#Solana
. There may be great gains but beware of great losses! (This is not financial advice just industry wisdom)
#cryptocurrency
Blockchain use continued to grow during the dip, along with
#NFT
ownership and the development of blockchain apps.
#Stablecoin
holdings grew too as more people used these “digital dollars” to get paid double-digit interest while hedging the storm.
“Crypto is here to stay.”
Are banks finally warming to crypto?
Today NY-Dig announced it is working with traditional banks to make
#Bitcoin
accessible via existing bank accounts.
This could lower the bar on mainstream adoption while offering retail banking a needed boost.
