Good luck‌ with timing the market.

I wonder why it’s not very popular‌ rof/%

Next: Oct 2025 - Oct 2026 ...?

if every‌ joe talks about this as its happening recently, it might not be happening. So maybe‍ it will be moot exercise.

It’s probably too complicated for most people, myself included, when‍ you look at it. It requires a lot of reading without really knowing what it’s⁠ all about.

well said.

Crypto is not the stock market. It has clear cycles. Will I be successful in‌ finding the top? I do not expect to. But I can average out the sell‍ orders and I will still be able to make quite good money.

No need to in order - they have direct access now.‍

Additionally - they don’t follow due process via the court / legal system which Circle⁠ does (hence the disparity in blacklisting between the two).

DAI historically would have been safer⁤ BUT now that MKR transitioned to SkY you have the issues that you’ll eventually have⁣ forced conversion and the new stable coin is much like Tether in their approach as⁢ it isn’t a US company following US law but a non US entity that can︀ be plied upon and doesn’t have the same defense/protections/legal defense etc

There’s ofcourse the new︁ Hayes backed one that might end up like Terra Luna but haven’t personally checked it︂ out apart from buying the shitcoin in case it rises like Luna

Same thing driving the stock market (Nasdaq specifically) drives Bitcoin (liquidity)

Altcoins follow⁠ that around the business cycle

 

[Wellington]

See my comment‌ above… there’s a new risk aspect to DAI

 

[dany]

what coin is this ?

 

[diatessaron]

Can you︂ post a source about them having direct access to it? Tether can't give access to︃ any LEA without a court order.

Took me‍ a while but it was shortly after this article, Tether announced that a portal had⁠ been established for the Treasury/SecretService / FBI

 

[JohnnyDoe]

U.S. 3 letters agencies have Tether and its banking partners by the balls. They can switch‍ them off any time they want, and they will when Tether will no longer serve⁠ their purpose.

I.e

On or about March 19, 2024, the USDT tokens at the cryptocurrencyaddress were frozen‌ by Tether Limited. Thereafter, pursuant to a federal seizure warrant issuedby U.S. Magistrate Judge Jennifer‍ D. Armstrong on July 31 , 2024, Tether Limited "burned" theUSDT tokens then associated with⁠ the cryptocurrency address and reissued the equivalent

Funds are frozen without a warrant

----

With Circle they are frozen after a warrant (like a bank account).

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Banks regularly freeze accounts without a warrant.
USDT=fiat=bank,->avoid

 

[Wellington]

Tether is kinda like Binance, you don't actively use it, hold it, transact through or‌ have an account with.

Use as a bridge token during a transaction but never more‍ than.

Not because you are trying to not be frozen, just because you never know⁠ when the hammer is going to drop on Tether, much like Binance in 2021 ->⁤ the signs were there.

---

One thing i noticed, the FBI mentioned Thorswap in that⁣ doc, its the only on-chain quick atomic swap -> guessing that's going to become a⁢ target next.

 

[Wellington]

True, they‌ do it for compliance but historically innocent people never got randomly frozen.

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Ehm… I could testify otherwise 😕

 

[Wellington]

They just haven't gotten round‌ to charging you for laundering yet.

Let the fishes swim and get a bigger batch‍ when the net pulled in.
