Whenever this topic comes up, it turns into political theater. Why can't we talk about a market (whether it's real or imagined stardust) w/o it turning into a cage match?

Let me make a comparison to a more mature market.

The following is a multi-year chart of the EUR vs USD, with the 50 bar exponential moving average (EMA) as the indicator on the chart. As anyone can observe, when the spot price is above the 50 EMA, there are more bullish trading opportunities (in green) than below it. And when it's below the 50 EMA, bearish events (in red) tend to be more common.







Now, contrast the above with that of BITCOIN vs USD. Whenever the 50 EMA is tested, the bearish opportunities are sparse and really don't even given bonafide short sellers much time to maneuver w/o a near term rally taking 'em out.



All and all, that's a bullish market with a high amount of sentiment on the upside. So until we see a general overall market meltdown, I'm not calling curtains on the cryptos.

EUR/USD


Usually, it's the confluence of the EUR/USD & GBP/USD (with a greater weighing towards the EUR as its the higher volume on the forex) making newer multi-year lows than during bullish highs of the major US markets.

And continental Europe's problems don't necessarily affect Britain at the same time & the USD strengthening effect is over longer periods of time, not around singular events like the Crimean/Ukraine war.

So right now, the EUR is close to doing it while the GBP is holding up above its multi-year low. All and all, with the Fed's latest hike, we'll see how this pans out in the months ahead.

One more time ... if the markets uniformly collapse, do not sell your holdings of Altria, British-American Tobacco, & Rio Tinto.

Those stocks give great dividends and during a meltdown, where all stock prices fall, your dividend payouts will double & then, you'll have a lot more re-invested equities under your belt.

This is the opposite advice for overpriced blue chips where yes, you should sell before the meltdown because you'll lose all of your cap gains.

Let me give you an example, here's my local power company, Eversource (ES) ...



It gives a 3% dividend but here's the issue ... it never experienced a single price reduction/fluctuation for the longest period of time. It's a perma-bull, always above the 50 MA regardless. So here's the story, when the market crashes, I'll doubt that New Englanders won't need power and thus, Eversource will be a 8-10% dividend stock giving one a retirement income with little chance of going out of business.

And others, like Proctor & Gamble, have had much higher price climbs than Eversource. At least ES is slowing down.

Which big companies use blockchain and crypto?
https://cryptonews.net/news/blokcheyn/3902561/?source=patrick.net
In addition, 55 of the world’s top 100 banks by volume of assets under management have invested in blockchain companies, as have 36 of the world’s top 100 listed companies.
These include Alphabet (formerly Google), Microsoft, Samsung, Intel, PayPal, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard and Visa, to name but the best known.

So we can conclude fuck BBB

Keeping an eye on the Rus2K "holding its ground", as a barometer for the general market meltdown (or not), it's time for bitcoin to either go big or go home.

Nope, just more sideways action for commodities, crypto and possibly the equities market imo. Until the USD index dumps and it don't look like much of a chance of that atm
the banks and institutions are still raiding the coffers yet needing USDs to unwind and capture their ill begotten gains and rich's. Markets are way more about supply chain issues then the inflation/weak USD theory.

Eh... run a business and print your own money and use the tax structure to your benefit. Crypto is not the way to riches. I've been staying out of these threads, but this is fact. You'll make more money in RE or running a business. I don't know a single 7+ figure wealth person not doing real estate or running a business AND doing crypto. Stock traders (which crypto is) generally are broke and talk a big game but aren't actually wealthy and it can dry up at any moment. People need housing, goods and services. Crypto does none of that. Not hating, just factual statements. Someone can tell me if I'm wrong. And no, I don't buy metals, so this isn't a physical asset comment.

Invest in things people NEED. I dislike Buffet as a person, but his strategy is mostly sound. If you need goods, buy BNSF. People need food and drink. Buy large amounts of companies that provide that or transport it.

Here is a token project really test case in it's development which I have been supporting.
Including sharing this link which is not my own but someone I hope to help https://minepi.com/cash007
This project provides coins by you mining on your phone and has no effects on your power discharge
and uses net zero in power. I also run a node on my PC which has little or no effect to my processing power.

The Pi developers approach has been different then what I have seen across the space, instead of developing a
and selling a token ICO style with all the promises of utility and accomplishments at a later date which most fail or will fail.

The Pi developers 1st have built a community 33 million strong simply earning tokens with their phones and are actively working
with developers of all sorts so when Pi does go Mainnet it has prominent use case in many areas.

'Go big' here means a reset of the last high, not some 'all time' high.

Because the bears are calling for a breakdown to the $23K level which would negate the bullish channel in formation.

68   Rin   2022 Mar 28, 3:33pm  

Ok, with that stated, here's my take on the blue chip world of 'real' product producing companies to the buy 'n hold persons here. Let's start with Proctor & Gamble. The stock is currently circa $150 vs $100 back in 3/19 when its dividend was some 3.5%.

Now, when a person re-invests those dividends, they're buying P&G shares at a markup, trending towards +50%, of only a few years back. If anything, when this market dives, that's a major cap gains loss as those final shares of the "blow off" top, were overpriced.

This is why I came up with the bitcoin trading strategy and that's because BTC is bullish and is trading within a channel of sorts.

That's a better way to utilize those P&G shares, which were already in one's portfolio since 2019, but using the re-occurring dividends to play the BTC trading channel.

Now, if that's too scary for you, stick to Altria, British-American Tobacco, and Rio Tinto.
69   Rin   2022 Mar 28, 3:39pm

3/19


FYI, I'm holding onto my shares of P&G since 3/19. I don't feel the need to sell nor to increase my holdings. It's a fine company and will do well in the long term but I'm not buying more shares until the market corrects.

Whelp I was wrong. It's still a hellava bear flag though. I'm hoping it drops to 20K so I can become a crab instead of a shrimp. I still think it will.

Also, I agree with some of the comments today. Lets keep this thread constructive for people who don't hate it. You don't have to love it either. We already have a bitcoin misinformation thread.

On that note, and not directed at anyone on Patnet, only the government, media and ... I can't think of any more major investors other than Buffet and his pal as the rest seem to all have changed their minds:

1. First they ignore you
2. Next they laugh at you
3. Then they fight you <- this was the infrastructure bill. Some critters were for, some against; until they realized 1/4 Americans own crypto now
4. Then you win! <- this was potato's exec order and Yellen coming out saying at first she didn't get it but now she does

I’ve been watching BTC and XRP since summer of 2018. I thought about buying some XRP when it dropped into the 30 cent range. But I did not, probably because it does not seem real to me, and therefore it’s not enjoyable. Cryptos are like VR goggles, and I have never had the interest in even putting on a VR headset let alone spending money on them. And more than that even, I just don’t trust electronics, so I’m not going to put my money in the virtual slot machine.

But if I had put a grand into BTC or XRP 3.5 years ago I’d now have close to 6 x my original investment. That would not change my life but would give me bragging rights! To me, that is why people talk about crypto’s so much, to brag about their winnings.

But what they don’t want to admit is that they are too chicken or too greedy to cash out. This casino is not going to pay everyone, and it maybe won’t even be open in 3-5 years. It’s foundations are not solid and it’s full of addicts and in fact if it were not for cryptos inflation would probably be much worse. Of all that money created out of thin air in the past 14 years some went to stocks, some went to real estate and a bunch went to cryptos. That 6x return I missed out on, is really just inflation coming home to roost. Cryptos might help you preserve your wealth a little longer. But when the casino closes, stocks, cryptos and even to a certain extent non agricultural real estate will all return to their true value. If they can’t be used as food, shelter, medicine, or entertainment, they will have no value after the great reset. So trade now, but don’t count on realizing any gains unless you plan to cash out before the inevitable crash.

Well, you've got the next Fibonacci level, $48K-$49K to retest.

If that holds or breaks through, in terms of a weekly candlestick price bar close (not daily), then the bearish flag is completely annulled.

Any who think institutions are not into this space just look at the size of those big red-green dildos
I like bitcoin although I don't own any myself and imo is likely to stay as some sort of safe harbor being people can be there own bank as it were
and my next speculative tgts are 89k+/- then 104k+/- but not before the USD (DXY) rolls over which BTW hit a 2x bottom and now will be
a 3x if it survives 97.7. The be "your own bank" only applies if you hold your own keys and don't let the banks hold custody for you of any token
what ever they are offering.



As time goes on we should be able to see what if any correlation remain or decoupling takes effect fiat, crpto, commodities, and equities...

Good plan brother that's right near the top R/line of that big flag pattern wky just keep in mind the odds if/when that line is hit 3x is a charm and it will be high probability it fly's to 89k after a bit of stall... I'm holding about 40+diff stacks of coins and for the most part all bought in 2021 at various time, so due to taxes my plan is I will hold for at least 1yr if at all possible unless profits get to tasty. I sold most everything near crypto highs in 2020 and re-bought in 2021.
