LOL

You're not supposed to like JP or post his videos.

Bad robot.

The hippie look really throws the algorithm huh.
antivaxxer.

If you're claiming that the covid vaccines are as safe and work like other vaccines then you are the anti-vaxxer.

Most vaccines work really well.

Unlike the covid vaccines.
Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

Anyway I called the crypto scam from the beginning. In saying that there was a lot of money to be made if you were ahead of the curves. So many people bought the peak.

I like gold and silver, as a store of value, not as objects of worship. Silver must be refined before we are able to make precious things from it, in the same sense we need to be refined.

It seems like finance as an institution is pushing towards a digital currency which will use something like blockchain. However it won't be decentralised, like people are finding out, when the government legalises marijuana, it doesn't mean you can grow it in your backyard for its fruit. It means like tobacco, it is a federal crime to grow and sell, up to ten years in prison. The government regulates it and increases the price every year.

Seriously people are paying $250 for 10 grams of "medical cannabis" when that is more than double the street value and the quality is often lower than the best home growers.

I am against legalising weed, lol.
If you have bitcoin you're holding someone's bag. I am often told I am holding a bag for storing value in gold and silver, from people who have gold and silver in their names.

Private ownership of gold and silver was outlawed and stacks were confiscated in the last financial collapse. It is better for them to get ahead of the curve.

BlackRock files for spot bitcoin ETF, with Coinbase as a crypto custodian

Asset management giant BlackRock

took the first steps Thursday to launch a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, which has long been a point of contention between crypto advocates and federal regulators.

The firm filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the iShares Bitcoin Trust. If approved, the ETF would allow easy access for investors to get exposure to crypto in a product from one of Wall Street’s largest companies.

“The Shares are intended to constitute a simple means of making an investment similar to an investment in bitcoin rather than by acquiring, holding and trading bitcoin directly on a peer-to-peer or other basis or via a digital asset exchange,” the filing said.

The SEC has so far resisted allowing the launch of a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S. The regulator is currently in a legal battle with Grayscale over whether the firm will be allowed to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF. A decision in that case is expected later this year.

Several other firms have filed and later pulled applications to launch spot bitcoin funds. If the SEC relents, there could be a flood of those products on the market.

ETFs typically take months to launch after an initial filing, if they ever begin trading. The proposed BlackRock fund will likely face heavy resistance from the SEC, and the filing could be pulled before an ETF is ever launched, said Aisha Hunt, principal at asset management law firm Kelley Hunt & Charles.

BlackRock’s move comes during a time when crypto prices remain well below their all-time highs and the industry faces increasing scrutiny in Washington, D.C.

The SEC recently sued Coinbase and Binance for allegedly running unregistered securities exchanges. The SEC also accused Binance of commingling customer funds with its own.

Coinbase is listed as the bitcoin custodian for the proposed BlackRock ETF. BlackRock has an existing strategic partnership with Coinbase. The companies announced last year that Aladdin, BlackRock’s institutional investment platform, would be connected to Coinbase Prime for crypto trading and custody.

The SEC did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the new filing.

The entrance of BlackRock into the bitcoin ETF space could be a boost to a sector that has had a rocky start over the past two years.

Bitcoin futures ETFs first launched in 2021, but the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO)
is the only one that has grown to a substantial size, with about $800 million in assets. The fund has lost more than 40% on a total return basis since the launch, according to FactSet. The price of bitcoin hit an all-time high shortly after BITO launched and is down more than 60% since its peak.

It's all gibberish to me, but the bitcoin bros are all freaking out.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Terrible article - almost unreadable.

Though "gibberish" is an issue with the crypto world in general.

Yes, you should buy bitcoins. And keep buying until you put all money into bitcoin. That way, I can successfully teach you that the same gullibility that leads you to believe NASA's RE lie and is costing taxpayer money, is now costing you all your wealth.

As for the rest of you, no. Scams are scams.

I’ve been into Bitcoin for a while now, and it’s definitely a ride, both exciting and unpredictable. I’ve had some success holding onto it long-term, but I also try not to obsess over the daily price fluctuations. Using Solana Scripts helped me boost volume and launch tokens easily on the Solana blockchain. One tip I’d offer is to only invest what you’re comfortable losing since the market can be really volatile.

Like so many other "investments", crypto is just another Ponzi scheme.
