I’m not going to lie, my confidence is rattled. I’m still in for the ride to the future. Whether that is $10M or zero. Maybe that’s stupid. Is this what capitulation feels like?

An end to the war, squashing inflation, and traditional finance adoption may lift us up.

Use of a nuke, rising inflation and unemployment, and horrible regulation could push us down.

Same as it ever was.

Alright, new topic for the thread to keep things interesting.

Why is Litecoin holding up so well?

I've had a small amount in my portfolio since forever and never really paid attention to it but I've noticed that it's been diverging with BTC since the summer bottom.  LTC is usually and absolute dog during bear markets so this is unexpected to me.

Only thing I can think of is LTC front-running its halving in Aug '23. It pumped pretty good before the last one in 2019.

Reminds me, I met this nurse a year or so ago. She was talking about LTC. She was/is an LTC maximalist. As-in, F BTC, ETH and everything else. Said she’d been in it a very long time and has invested “probably close to 100 thousand or more” . I found myself absolutely baffled. To the point I had nothing to say, really, other than “huh, that’s interesting.” As bullish as they come for LTC, lol.

There's lots of useless shitcoins to dabble in.  When something divergent is happening it's always good to as "why?".

Doesn't always mean that you agree with the answer but it's good to know.

My biggest thing right now is how much do I continue to invest / DCA. “Not more than you’re willing to lose” never made anybody wealthy. It’s a grey area. It would hurt (at least be extremely disappointing) if it all went to zero. I invest enough in crypto that it has taken a portion of my discretionary income over the past few years. It has lessened the money I invest elsewhere, save elsewhere and certainly hobby elsewhere.  I think I should limit my DCA amount more than I already have.
Problem is now it’s cheap! Same thing I’ve said since it’s decline from the 40s…

I guess LTC is the closest thing to a better version of BTC without attempting to be something other than what BTC attempts to be.

Still, it doesn't seem fast enough to truly be a usefully better version of BTC.

It already has. You know it, I know it, we all know it. We aren't seeing the full effects of it yet, mostly thanks to inertia, USD dominance and every other country having sinned the same sins and worse, but it is coming.

When the Fed stops promising ever rising returns on foreign investments, and that music into dollar denominated savings and investments stops, it'll be a bad time to be looking for an available chair.

I hold a decent amount of physical but I'm off of my PM mining and royalty shares. I believe we still have more rising dollar and aggressive Fed ahead. Those have been massive headwinds for gold. In fact, I think the Fed is going to have to look aggressive until something finally breaks.

Equities are going to get hammered in future earnings. The recent painful labor shortage is going to make a lot of companies hesitant to adjust staffing levels quickly and fixed payroll combined with falling sales isn't a healthy business environment.

I don't think you can ignore maintaining a balance with traditional investments like stocks and bonds.  

I still believe crypto will be bigger in 5 years than it is today but there are existential risks that have been present since the very beginning and you can't ignore that and must have an overall plan that is durable in the event that crypto "goes to zero" even if it seems unlikely.

I would presume that the majority of that 2009-2012 Bitcoin still idle in 2022 is lost.

LTC is one of the few alts that is not likely to be regulated as a security. My guess is this price action may be positioning for inflows if/when sweeping regulation gets passed because it would have more upside than BTC.

That's incorrect. It takes 6 to 7 months for the real affects to show. So sometime next year the shit will really hit the fan.
The stock market is foward looking, but Gov spending will take months and months before the shit totally hits the fan.

Yes, crypto is dead.



I just breaks down a lot of the FTX/SBF issues in easy(ish) to understand terms, but does a good job explaining the domino effect we've seen this year. Starts with Do Kwon and the UST debacle. Also goes into detail on how some of the exchanges and hedge funds played into making/breaking the last bull run. Just an interesting episode overall that I think some would also find interesting.

Also have to add interest rates above 0 to the equation. Easy to take on risk with meme stocks, crypto, NFT's, RE, and pie in the sky startups when your idle cash is earning jack squat and borrowing is dirt cheap. Once bit hard by the devil they don't know they scurry back to the one they do know for a 5% return and lick their wounds. Granted bond and CD rates are still below inflation but a 3% yearly loss of purchasing power is much better than a 70% loss.

Anyone get to experience the joy of Coinbase unlinking all your bank accounts?

Now they want my login information for the bank system to use with a third party verification system called "plaid".   Which, of course, did not work.

Yes, Kracken is good (imo).

These days though, immediate self custody all the things.

Guess its time to find a new exchange.

Plaid is legit. As legit as possible anyway.

Any updates on the Blockfi situation?    Had some parked there to try and diamond hands a small amount.

Nothing useful that I’ve seen. Seems they’re waiting for the FTX/Alameda situation to work itself out, so who knows what’s going to happen.

That happened to me about a month ago.  It took two seconds to re-link with Plaid.

I haven’t seen anything yet. I’ve got (had) their credit card and they were blowing up my email a week or two ago making sure I was aware of my “agreement obligations” in regards to making the payment. Sounds like they really need the cash.

Plaid wouldn't work with my credit union. I forget what the workaround was, but I got CB set up without it and that was right after the IPO. Bought some CB shares and wanted to see how it worked and looked. The bank linking was a solid kick in the dick and frustrating as hell.

Don’t get me started on CB n banking BS. I’ve had to open 2 different checking accounts to finally get it working. I still get the “out of funds” errors a lot, too. Always seems to happen at the worst times too.

Yeah the third party who owns the card probably freaked out when BlcokFi paused operations. It may not matter much now though as BlockFi is now officially @ dead with Ch. 11 being filed this morning. Those with funds stuck there with o/s card balances may just never pay it.

It's an aggravation.  Sometimes the bank is the problem though, it's not always CB fucking stuff up.  I ran into that with Fidelity a while back. Worked fine for months then suddenly kept getting flagged and wouldn't work at all afterward.

I gave up dealing with it. With CB1 you don't have to pay debit card fees anymore, so I just do that.

I'm sure there's more to follow. Anyone in bed with FTX is probably up shit creek and/or engaged in similar business practices.
