how can you prove to me you own x amount of gold? I wont trust pictures, nor some "independent" big 4 company.
Basically youd need to let me fumble it as I wish, similarity to like the old man did on camera many times ;).
We are talking about the gold the country has though. Not the individual...

It's never been proven what they say they have, is actually there.

Same for London, there's an increasing suggestion that the BoE doesn't have the gold it claims. Dalio says the UK is on a death spiral.

But there seems to be some potential play that the US are going to provide their treasuries as some kind of backstop for the UK. Never been done before, but Lutnik, who is pretty close with Trump has a fairly big connection with London and a vested interest in avoiding total collapse so probably not unthinkable...

exactly. As ive said, its not really possible to prove it.

so yes, you really should buy bitcoin and appreciate how lucky we all are to be at the beginning of something bigger than the internet
come on dude, we are not at the beginning, when the literal president of america and his wife launch two sh*tcoins on his inauguration weekend and his sons are shilling other sh*tcoins left and right, while blackrock and wall street shills bitcoin to everyone and its ETF is larger than that of gold reaching the milestone at 20-30x the speed

if anything, it makes me scared we are in late stages....

So we are entering into a debt crisis.
As you can see Trump already is implementing import tax and starts battling economicly with everyone.
In a debt crisis at the beginning USD gets very strong for a short period of time since nearly noone is able to take new debt and existing marging needs to be delivered expacially in a higher inflation scenario where interest goes higher instead of down.First divergance in history of USD already happened that FED cut interest rates by 100 points and the 10 year went up by 100 points meaning they are already predicting high rising interrest rates.

The date end of march comes from a fibonacci ciricle chart which delivers timeframes.
End of march is the latest date of a specific fibonacci circle which ALWAYS causes a heavy drop based on past history.
Of course if its going to be caused by debt crisis or a new war in middle east thats something i can't predict however i can tell there are bigger movements ahead and the debt crisis is more and more obvious but does not need to be the offical trigger to start the sell off.
Also billionaires would not hold so much USD cash in a high inflationary envirement when not beliving that there will be a big shortage of liquidity where cash will be king.
my question below to cryptofriendly relates to this. I also don't understand how the narrative is and continues to be that cash is trash, when SPX/QQQ is at all time highs , while liquidity becomes tighter and interest rate cuts are not guaranteed (if anything , they could even raise them again ?)
at the same time your prediction that bitcoin would fall to its 20ks suggests this is the end for Bitcoin (or at the very least the end of the 4 year long cycles and number always go up
i also don't understand why they couldn't manipulate bitcoin prices the same way they manipulate gold and silver
i also don't understand why wouldn't bitcoin dump if spx dumps, which it follows like a loyal dog....

But theyd be braindead to accept a non-working chain like solana.

.
a non-working chain that has just been successfully stress tested with the largest crypto onboarding event in history, launch of trump coin -- and performed magnificently considering how much overload there was on the network, and survived subsequent gigadumps (melania and bloody sunday) with record volumes and defi transactions without problems or protocol failures...
Correct and.......
Trump already proposed selling US gold (to BRICS) for buying BTC into their reserve.
do you really believe anything Trump says? I am tired of everyone thinking he is some genius 4D chess player. He is simply the world's most successful con-man, and yes the Washington establishment he purges is probably even more disgusting scum than him (reminds me of southpark: you always choose between a giant douche and turd sandwich), BUT on top of that I feel like he has made so many enemies now among the elites that some powerful (dark) groups can sabotage what he does or even do something more sinister....
First of all, I agree with you regarding the continuous transfer of gold to brics in case of the real adoption a gold backed currency by them for payments by western countries. I don't remember it clearly, but one of the analysis stated that doing so it would cause a transfer of 2% of the western countries' gold reserves yearly to the bricks, which would be not sustainable and would cause the whole system to break in the end.

But don't you contradict your own prediction (BTC dropping hard end of March), when you state that Trumps gonna sell gold and buy BTC?

Wouldn't that cause the exact opposite in the short term?

Personally, I expect a drop of 30% in btc end of March as well (128K->89K),
but only as a short term low, before heading much higher till October (>174K).
I asked this in another thread, but will copy the same questions for you. Would be curious about your take.

What do you think about Trump's / FED's / DoT actions over the past couple of weeks?
I cannot claim to be a macroeconomist enough to analyze, and those who profess to be experts give diametrally opposite opinions anyway, hard to cut through the noise. analyzing official data isn't helpful, since everyone is adamant about it being fake data....

but isn't there some kind of liquidity contraction going on right now / some attempt to deleverage the economy and have less US money supply?

Crypto markets (except for BTC) have entered a bear market. BTC itself is in some weak bull, arguably weaker than the prior cycle which was also pretty weak and BTC topped out earlier than the s2f model would predict?

however, if SPX nosedives, which (on the surface, maybe i am missing something) is almost something Trump wants to happen now (others claim his enemies from prior admin/FED want it to happen) -- if SPX nosedives, BTC will nosedive with it?

People also seem to forget ETH is now the 'bond' side of your portfolio, sure it will rise (in time) but it's a yield bearing asset with elastic supply based on demand.

So risk is no longer in ETH (sure can rise dramatically) as currency is debased by 8% PA and it tracks that with a 94% correlation but with much more x movement, but actually mad gains are in new entries (in real-tech) or in memes etc, it will never provide the same sort of growth potential, and shouldn't provide the same sort of downward potential either.
tell it to all those who got liquidated when ETH dumped to 2100 last sunday. it lost nearly half its marketcap in just a few weeks and lost 40% in one single day...
ultrasound money my arse...

My personal take? It's just another clown government trying to steal as much as they can from the people, while lying to them about everything. They don't even try to hide anything anymore, they openly take the piss out of the people (Trump 'saved by god', standing ovations to war criminals, and absurd demands regarding Canada and Greenland), it's peak idiocracy in my opinion, so I am not even trying to go through their data either, it feels like the last stages - we can openly see the technocrats and billionaires taking over their government. For crypto itself it might actually be positive - at least in this year - until they find a new toy to promote and to get rich from.

Yeah, it is.
But I'd expect a new QE coming up, the question is just how much they gonna let the market crash before it happens.

BTC is just doing what it is supposed to do. Diminishing returns are a part of it's nature.
According to 'my crystal ball' there are still 235 days left until the top of this cycle, just in theory of course (ignoring the stock market/liquidity/other noise). But of course, timing isn't all, and there are other factors playing a bigger role. Still, none of the top indicators (which 'predicted' the previous tops) are flashing red yet. Personally, I like to primary keep an eye on the PI indicator, and it looks like there is still a while to go. But regardless, the whole market matters, and you are right pointing out the correlation between SPX and BTC.

however, if SPX nosedives, which (on the surface, maybe i am missing something) is almost something Trump wants to happen now (others claim his enemies from prior admin/FED want it to happen) -- if SPX nosedives, BTC will nosedive with it?
I agree with you here. It's important to keep watching the BTC trend lines, and SPX action as well, as they might break, and take BTC down together with the other markets. Even the cycle theory would turn invalid and cut this bull short.

But in my opinion we aren't there yet, and it would be a really bad look for Trump and his clowns if they would let the market crash so shortly after getting back into power. I am pretty sure it will happen during his term, as it's the perfect opportunity to make 'free' market look bad and push the useful idiots into choosing some kind of neomarxist ecofascist technocracy to rule over them forever (in the next selection).

TL;DR: I expect a market crash as well, but I hope for it to happen after BTC top in October. But hope isn't an indicator in itself, it just an assumption, so I keep watching the market developments daily to be ready to act, if the theory gets invalidated.
 
Has anyone actually audited how much physical gold the USA actually has? Nobody seems to have checked.

There' 's also word the UK doesn't have as much as it claims.
US has its gold same as UK.UK now filling Comex with their gold.
It's as always a nice COINCIDENT that the exact same countries which were listed on a special report which predicts losing heavily economical power like UK for example are selling their gold and rising countries based on the report are buying.All these coincidences ;)


how can you prove to me you own x amount of gold? I wont trust pictures, nor some "independent" big 4 company.
Who cares about your opinion ?This is no personal attack but when they establish the final new monetary system do you really belive they care about your or my opinion ?
And they don't need to proof it to the IMF.They simply provide numbers of their physical gold stored and IMF only controls if its realisticly and also how much the whole world agrees on and based on that every country will receive their share of the SDR


at the same time your prediction that bitcoin would fall to its 20ks suggests this is the end for Bitcoin
No i did not say when hitting 20-25k it will be the end of bitcoin.It will be the point were mainy retailers had to sell cheap to serve their margins and where the smart money will join for the final run.Bitcoin will fail inbetween the first western new monetary system and the second final one.
The final run will be by 90% caused via governmental CBDC's implementing high negative interest rates which officialy will be explained to support the econemy during a deep recession

do you really believe anything Trump says? I am tired of everyone thinking he is some genius 4D chess player
He has the same Masters as Biden has.No diffrence.US is going to sell gold for china as china needs physical gold to establish the yuan as the second new world reserve currency beside USD.USA accepted defeat of their UNIpolar dreams to a Tripolar demand from BRICS in 2012/13 and since then they prepare to get the Yuan up as a world reserve currency even if most western people can't understand it but people from BRICS are tired of the never ending hidden taxation on their goods via USD printing.
USD inflation was for such a long time small because the rest of the world took the inflation on devaluing the USD by being forced to sell their goods in USD.So USA could print significant amount of new USD each year without causing high inflation by devaluing the goods income the rest of the world had using USD.


but isn't there some kind of liquidity contraction going on right now / some attempt to deleverage the economy and have less US money supply?
Basel IV + stagflation + higher interest (getting even higher than now)
Liquidity has being pushed artificialy if you observe diffrent kind of markets like Real Estates etc over the last period of time.

Just use the website I provided the other day it tracks liquidity every week and has tonnes of automated charts and AI systems
 
Do we have any accountant on board here that could explain that to me?

Coz I am trying really hard, but somehow Binance's explanation doesn't feel right to me, it still looks like they sold.
They also have "sold" 3 or 4 bil USDT, so it seems their balances are down across board? Did they just exit to fiat?

Hard to judge, since some commenters on CT are FUDding binance intentionally, while others are shills on their payrol. Hard to find objective assessment

I thought bitcoin was supposed to be the antithesis to the corrupt stockmarkets. Got corrupted from within. SPX sneezes. Bitcoin is staring at the abyss. Alts are already dying.
Ah the good old days when such posts appeared with btc @1k :D

dude i am hodling
if the bitcoin ship were to sink, i would probably go down with it saluting

i just dont want it sink

if anything the mental health price paid for being in crypto has been quite comparable to the gains obtained. It also fries your brain and it's hard to take anything else seriously, and in a system where bureaucratic parasites can take away your gains at whim....

don't want to have to end up there...
 
What about eth and sol shitting the bed and other alts, even the fundamentally decent ones, literally trending to 0?
the ETH bubble has finally burst and now it is trading at mere $2700 compared to whopping $200 five years ago, and same with SOL - the current price of $170 is nothing compared to its tremendous exchange rate of $16 five years ago.

ETH long term charts have turned bearish actually
It did this nosedive without even reaching prior cycle's ATH, unlike solana, which made a double top

You bring up 200$ per ETH which is the middle of early covid price from 2 bear markets ago. Not a comparison to be made for an asset that is supposed to be in a log uptrend and in a bullmarket 2 cycles later

Have I misunderstood something, or how was it supposed to be?

BTC was invented partly because of the financial crisis in 2008 or the IT bubble in 2000, it was meant to be a resistance to the financial markets.

Now, over 20 years later, all cryptocurrencies are making just as much as the financial markets do.

It doesn't quite work as planned.
