i think that example does not fit us army⁠ perfectly and probably apply to israel army that been known to hide behind weapons and⁤ fear to die . historically the us army is somehow brave and fight in battles⁣ , also many who join it are immigrants who desperately wish to get us passport⁢ . taliban members just hide in caves they didn't gave real good fight . i︀ think us don't have victory of recent wars because their administration lacking purpose.
 
That's a myth proven false by‍ every conflict they lost since WW2. Did they have military advantage in Afghanistan, Somalia or Vietnam? They did but did they win any of them? NO they didn't...lol. All incursions⁠ were resisted and US had their asses whooped.

Not entirely true. If it was⁣ then the Russian Ruble should be second strongest currency after the dollar.

Does not help in modern warfare. The enemy does not come to you.⁢ The enemy lets you come to them.

The US have huge︃ cultural influence no denying that fact. But woman started to drive in UAE or do︄ you mean Saudi Arabia..lol?

Have you ever been to︇ China or Japan? Have you seen the growth in China in last 40 years. China︈ has caught up and exceeded the US infrastructure wise. The US infrastructure is crumbling. Their︉ roads are in bad state, dirty water, no high speed rail networks, bridges falling apart︊ etc etc etc....lol. Just google "US Infrastructure problems" before you post. Most of america is︋ not new compared to rapid growth and development taking place in Asia and Middle East.︌ You saying America newer than UAE....your crazy...lol.

Yes they do attract the best minds with the American dream. It️ also helps when you are able to print as much money as you need out‌ of thin air. If they need to support the US bond market where a load‍ of corporate bonds just turned from investment grade to junk rating then just print out⁠ of thin air another $2.3 trillion dollars...lol.

I agree.

Just done so
 
I have never met a brave US solider just US people from disadvantaged backgrounds⁠ who join the military to get good healthcare, colleague opportunities etc. Yes many immigrants join⁤ as a way to gain access to the American dream and I don't hold that⁣ against them as its their means to an end. However I won't describe them as⁢ brave. Bravery goes with justification for an action. Most US soliders go home mentally screwed︀ after battle and don't even know why they are fighting a harden enemy in the︁ first place. There is high suicide rates, poverty and homelessness among US soliders who have︂ finished their tours btw.

I don't think people understand the history of the︅ Afghan people. They have fighting in their DNA. Their mentality and motivation is different. They︆ have been fighting the US for over 18 years and would fight until eternity. Thats︇ what happens when one is fighting to defend their land.

People talk about Taliban like︈ they are not one and the same as Afghan people. The Taliban are the Afghan︉ people and are defending their land against an invading force. When n**i Germany invaded France,︊ Netherlands etc there was resistance forces of locals who took up arms against them i.e︋ French Resistance and Dutch Resistance and in pretty much every other invaded country. Same with︌ IRA trying to kick British out of Ireland.

If the US had any brain cells︍ they would have researched history or at least gone to wikipedia...lol and seen the history︎ of failed invasions of Afghanistan going back to 1838. The Afghan terrain and the fierceness️ of the people make it unconquerable. If they wanted to be successful in Afghanistan in‌ the first place they should have done what they did 18 years later.....talk to the‍ enemy.

P.S Anyway lets get back to bitcoin talk thu&¤# and leave politics and war aside⁠ for now.
 
I think you have wrong information, almost all large banks are fined again and︀ again for breaking EU/US sanctions. Even US banks like Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Bank of︁ America, from payment systems for example PayPal.
 
the point is that there will be always banks that‍ will handle BTC even if there is a ban (the same is valid for payment⁠ systems)
 
Ok I see where your going. Yes banks will always break the law even⁠ if banned from doing something. You just need to be a too big to fail⁤ bank like the ones you mentioned and you will just get fined heavily. Be a⁣ small bank like Satabank, FBME, Pilatus Bank etc and your out of business.

Good luck⁢ to any bank or EMI that wants to not follow US rules....lol. Speak to Loyal︀ Bank CEO for example.
 
It is only four days to halving of block reward. Bitcoin is collapsing, upwards 😉
Besides the above, the reason for today's strong move is this:
Bloomberg article.

Normally it would not‍ matter much, but Paul Tudor Jones is one of the heavyweights.
 
Oops, I just saw this post, probably should have seen it before making a new‌ thread with my question about whether we think btc reaches 15K by Sunday 🙂

Still, I‍ don't believe in these doomsday warnings, bitcoin will also exist on Monday and Monday next⁠ year.
 
I really don't like these sensationalistic headlines...
As far as I⁠ know, he didn't buy any Bitcoin, possibly his fund bought some Bitcoin futures, i.e. derivatives⁤ which in general can actually be a bad thing for non-custodial approach to cryptocurrencies.

He isn't the only one interested:
 
In the long term, I don't think this is important because people⁠ who maintain big chunk of money are already in. For FOMO are this kind of⁤ articles good, but it is due to the fact that too many people follow nonsense⁣ news and act according to them. Most important news of recent months is - Bitcoin⁢ is still here and alive after the main shock in the economy for decades, this︀ is something that will bring many new eyes to Bitcoin in coming months and years︁ in my opinion
 
Futures trading and leverage in general is⁠ not necessarily good for bitcoin, but it is inevitable given the way things have developed.⁤ There's just nothing to do but accept "they're here".

Hedge funds have legal obligations -⁣ trading via futures instead of taking custody of coins, makes sense to them on many⁢ levels. Futures positions have often spillover effects in the spot market. In this case particularly,︀ I find it likely PTJ's counterpart was a large market actor buying spot, selling futures.︁

Sure, "Buy rumors,︄ sell news" is an old truth. My biggest worry recently has been that so many︅ bigg-ish names are ultra bullish on bitcoin. Bitcoin makes logical/intellectual sense in this economic situation,︆ but if they are bullish, they are already in, as you said.

This PTJ thing︇ is remarkable in that he is the first big hedge fund guy in bitcoin. It︈ could be a weak signal that large funds are moving into bitcoin space. Also, PTJ's︉ estimate that bitcoin is the fastest horse in inflationary race, makes a lot of sense.︊ For example gold market is much more restricted due to huge central bank participation.
 
as usual in trading of everything, only question left, if the pump‍ will go higher and I bet so. When I close my eyes I can see⁠ a wonderful world, where most traditional assets bear negative yields. You will take a loan⁤ and in the end, you pay less than the principal. You will take a mortgage⁣ and immediately you will feel happy as your debt is eaten through negative rates. This⁢ party will not end anytime soon until there are people who don't have debt now︀ and will be forced to take loans in this new wonderful world. The party will︁ end once there is no one who would take new loans, but who knows, maybe︂ we will figure out how to create unlimited new loans for any crazy idea that︃ you may think. And then, I open my eyes and I'm glad that part of︄ my portfolio is in Bitcoin and any higher pump on Bitcoin have much more probability︅ than yields on US long term bonds will keep above zerofin4774"
 
Is this classic pump and dump over now or are the whales going for a‌ last minute second round before halving...lol? 😉
 
That's a good‍ question, I guess you should expand your thoughts and then we can add some answers.⁠ In my point of view, this is some small insignificant event and I would like⁤ to see the whole situation after 4-8 years. I expect we will see the six-digit⁣ value of BTC not due to retail, but because the big boy will take us⁢ there
 
Collapse ...? Lol ... If history repeats itself, and generally does, the next few months‌ will be really interesting.
 
Yeah, guys, BTW the wallet Craig claims he owns just signed a message calling Craig‌ fraud. LMAO, will be interesting to see him weasel his way out of this one.‍
