Axie Infinity (AXS)Mmade a lot of People Rich… Temporarily, What We Learned / Companies / cryptocurrency
By: Stephen_McBride
Axie Infinity (AXS) made a lot of people rich… temporarily.
In 2020–2021, the crypto token shot from about 14 cents to above $150… handing out a mind-boggling 107,000%+ return... in just one year.
And it didn’t just make investors rich. The Axie token is associated with a video game that pays you to play it. Players—many of them in poorer countries like the Philippines—were making up to $3,500/month.

Sorry, Warren Buffett, You’re wrong About Crypto Currencies / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Stephen_McBride
I’ll warn you now.
What I’m about to say about the greatest investor of all time is controversial…
First, let me clear the air. We all know Warren Buffett is a legend when it comes to stocks. He’s made an annualized return of 20% for his shareholders since 1965. No one can match his track record, discipline, or longevity.
As my colleague, Chris Reilly, pointed out on May 16, Buffett’s buying quality stocks hand-over-first right now with markets down.
That’s a smart move that’s likely to pay off big time.

By: MoneyMetals
Central bankers and bureaucrats are seizing on recent turmoil in cryptocurrency markets to push aggressively for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
They made their case to other global elites gathered in Davos on Monday for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting.
Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said, “Bitcoin may be called a coin, but it’s not money. It’s not a stable store of value.”

Crypto Investors Stable Coins TERROR as Terra USD COLLAPSEs towards ZERO, Tether Next! / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
It's been a while since I last did a video warning about stable coins such USDT or rather unstable coins that are supposed to be pegged to the dollar that I have repeatedly warned are ponzi schemes backed by high risk debt instruments as that is how issuers make their money they put your dollars to work in high risk corporate bonds, and even crypto's where everything sales along until the peg cracks when investors realise that their stable coin holdings are not covered by the value of the underlying assets and then it collapses in spectacular style event at a greater pace than when crypto's crash and so it was yesterday with Terra USD more aptly Terror USD.

Wall Street’s “green light” to get into Crypto / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Stephen_McBride
Won’t governments just ban crypto?It’s one of the most common questions folks ask me.
“Regulation” has been a bogeyman for the space since bitcoin (BTC) burst onto the scene 13 years ago.
Folks have long speculated new rules will crush crypto markets.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Regulation won’t kill crypto. Instead, it will lead to much higher crypto prices, as I’ll show you today.

Crypto Will Devour the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / cryptocurrency
By: Stephen_McBride
Longtime RiskHedge readers know crypto is one of the best moneymaking opportunities in the world. Cryptos like Ethereum (ETH) have outperformed even the hottest stocks by 10X in the past few years.
And we’re still only in the first inning of this opportunity. For example, did you know Apple (AAPL) is larger than the entire crypto market?
This fact alone makes my big call sound totally absurd…
Crypto will devour the stock market.

The “play-to-earn” trend taking the crypto world by storm / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Submissions
By Justin Spittler: Something incredible happened last year in the Philippines.
Everyday people were making up to $3,500/month… from playing a video game.
That might not sound like a lot of money to you and me. But you should understand something.
The typical Filipino makes around $878 per month.
And these people making thousands of dollars a month aren’t professional gamers. They’re not part of an esports team. And they don’t receive money from sponsors.
They’re simply playing Axie Infinity.

THE NEXT BITCOIN / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Raymond_Matison
Most people, when thinking or talking about bitcoin, see it as a constant non-changing, immutable coin. However, the fact is that ever since the initial introduction of the original Bitcoin platform in 2009, there has been a near constant flow of imitators, look-alikes, and attempted improvements – in other words a “next bitcoin”.
Because Bitcoin’s programing code is public and available free to anyone desiring to download, use, or alter it to create a new version, the first bitcoin contender appeared not long after bitcoin itself was launched. Hence, several Bitcoin “forks” have been created – which were attempts to create a new and “improved” bitcoin, while also continuing to maintain the original version.
A new platform is only as effective and valuable as the size of its user community. When a Bitcoin fork is effected, a more modest size of a split user community will have its use languish, and value of its token proscribed, regardless that it may have improved functionality in terms of speed of transactions, finality, security, or cost.

But one thing really stood out to me while listening to the hearing.
It lasted almost five hours, and guess what was hardly mentioned?

Has Bitcoin Crypto Mania Finally Run Its Course? / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: EWI
Here's a high-profile parallel between tech- and crypto-mania
When a company that's part of a major financial trend buys the naming rights to a professional sports stadium or arena, watch out!
History suggests that such a prominent move might be a sign that the fortunes of that company are about to dramatically change.
For instance, back in 1999-2000, technology shares were all the rage and one of the "highest of the dot-com high flyers," as the Wall Street Journal put it, was CMGI. It was the best performing U.S. stock from 1995 to 1999.

Bitcoin Price TRIGGER for Accumulating Into Alt Coins for 2022 Price Explosion / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Dear Reader
Firstly, crypto's are VERY HIGH RISK, the crypto bugs constantly talk about how manipulated fiat, stocks and precious metals are hence they seek their financial freedom in decentralised crypto currencies. However in my opinion crypto currencies are probably the most manipulated markets of the lot where huge amounts of coins reside in whale wallets that could be dumped onto the markets at any time. Then there are the inflation rates, crypto coin printing on an epic scale that would even make the Fed's Powell blush where comparatively low prices against all time highs can easily fool unsuspecting crypto investors into buying garbage with masked inflation rates in excess of over 100% that thus can not sustain bull runs to capitalise on until the inflation rates moderate to under 10%, such as that of Filecoin where given the plethora of pump content out there one is hard pressed to determine the true inflation rate that apparently is currently running at 160% against that of say Bitcoin's inflation rate of about 1.6%.

Crypto Market Analysis: What Trading Will Look Like in 2022 for Novice and Veteran Traders? / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Submissions
Cryptocurrency in all of its complexity and ambiguity has seen yet another successful year.
Following the several peaks the crypto market has undergone in 2021, with May presenting itself to be the most volatile out of all. Novice and veteran traders have gone to extreme lengths to cash in on the craze, as U.S. investors made more than $4 billion from Bitcoin (BTC) in 2020.
Crypto is looking more and more as the digital currency of tomorrow with more than 6,000 cryptocurrencies already accessible on the market. While many raise scepticism concerning the volatility of cryptocurrencies, the market size has surged on numerous occasions and we can expect an even more exciting year ahead.

Bitcoin & Ethereum 2021 Trend / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Bitcoin peaked in March 2021 at $65k and then fell to a low of $29k Mid June. Whilst my in-depth look at crypto's of Mid June based on preceding bull and bear markets concluded that BTC could trade down to under $20k, for a drop of at least 70% off the peak that failed to materialise. Which means none of my string of buy limits from $26k down to $16k were triggered and thus I hold no bitcoin.

Meshing Cryptocurrency Wealth Generation With Global Fiat Money Demise / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Raymond_Matison
The promise of electronic currencies
A couple of decades ago the internet started to revolutionize society in ways that could not have been predicted. Email systems developed and evolved to become indispensable and ubiquitous. People could sift and classify business data on spreadsheets in order to make smart business decisions faster. Vast libraries of books, data, news and other information from around the globe became increasingly available to anyone interested to read it. Global maps, archived music, and films could be shared, viewed, and listened to by anyone with a computer and access to the internet. Internet shopping became a reality; and just when it seemed that technological innovation might be slowing, all of these services migrated from desk-top computers to smart telephones. And this technology brought with it incredible amounts of new wealth.
Now continuing technological development is promising additional decades of innovation, that among other things will change ways in which we conduct financial payments, remit money across borders, invest in stocks, bonds and real estate, and control and custody our personal savings. These new technologies can be seen as decentralizing and liberating in the sense that individuals will be their own financial gatekeepers able to function as their own bank, without the need for permission from any trusted third party. This has already, and will continue to create much new wealth over coming years.

Inflation and the Crazy Crypto Markets 2021 / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Nadeem_Walayat
One of the reasons for investing in crypto's is INFLATION i.e. fiat currency is constantly being devalued whilst many crypto's are limited to print run such as Bitcoin. So whilst I have not bought any Bitcoin to date due to not meeting my price targets so far. However, going forward I will be retaining all mined bitcoin regardless of what happens to the price, roughly I mine about $300 worth of bitcoin per month across 2 desktops.
