I do have a thread for a dedicated Linux setup to handle and store crypto assets If you're only trading, it's much simpler setup, purchase a Google Pixel Chromebook and sign up for ExpressVPN After that, you only have to worry about $200 worth of Eth, and $1k to $10k (or $100k if you want to trade big size with less leverage than me 44x) worth of Usdt or Usdc, all available from Coinbase, Gemini or Kraken When you're ready, post some questions here and I'll guide you I think the latter True story, the biggest, most regulated TradFi crypto companies operating in the US went bankrupt, Genesis, BlockFi, Voyager, Celsius, FTX (dot-us along with dot-com). Billions upon billion$ worth of crypto assets lost FTX spent hundreds of millions (maybe billions with the stadium?) of advertising in the US In contrast, the biggest DeFi crypto platforms (banks and dexes) with as much TVL as those regulated ones, operated perfectly 24/7/365, no circuit-breakers, no bankruptcies, no frozen accounts, no frozen withdrawals, nor limits AAVE, Uniswap, Pancakeswap, SushiSwap, Venus, SpookySwap (I can go on and on, since I actually cannot think of a single one that had issues throughout that whole shitty period) Protection offered by regulators vs Protection offered by smart contract code Result speaks for itself
You still have the option to trade crypto ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange, most brokers like IBKR I believe will allow this. If they don't already let you, you can often ask if they will add it to your trading account. The issue with Canadian securities, (and with their derivatives), is the spread of course... The US market is exponentially larger. But... if you're left with no further options... (no pun intended).
NFA $Rune is down about 15%, a good signal to lower the cost-basis (lower the capital at risk on the trade) Cut the position by 3600 $Rune coins
I just got in short at 37,500. But I shouldn't have gotten out on Friday. Thanks for reminding me. BTW I meant 18:00 EST.
Thanks for the tip. But I think I'll just stick to the futures for now since I love shorting it so much.
This Bitcoiner just got elected in Argentina... will he follow through on his promises or get Epsteined or converted by fiat lords?
Javier Milei Wins Argentine Presidency; Bitcoin Gains Nearly 3% The self-described anarcho-capitalist has been supportive of bitcoin, calling it "the return of money to its original creator, the private sector." By Stephen Alpher Nov 20, 2023 at 11:38 a.m. Updated Nov 20, 2023 at 1:01 p.m. Incoming Argentine President Javier Milei (Getty images) The next president of Argentina will be Javier Milei as his opponent Sergio Massa conceded on Sunday evening, saying "Argentines chose another path." With roughly 87% of the votes counted, Milei has 56% of the tally versus Massa's 44%, according to Bloomberg. Trading quietly through most of the weekend, bitcoin (BTC) began rising late Sunday afternoon on chatter about a strong showing for Milei. Following Massa's concession, the crypto currently is higher by nearly 3% over the past 24 hours to $37,350. "We have to understand that the central bank is a scam," said Milei earlier this year when asked about bitcoin. "What bitcoin is representing," he continued, "is the return of money to its original creator, the private sector." Milei to this point, however, has not gone as far as proposing making bitcoin legal tender. He's instead calling to eliminate the country's central bank and dollarizing an Argentine economy that's been walloped by inflation that reached 142% in October.
