Who's going in on CryptoCurrencies? XRP - Bitcoin

Thoughts on where interest rates are likely to end up?

The plan is 3 rate hikes in 2022, 3 hikes in 2023, and at least 2 hikes in 2024.

However, less than 12 hours ago it is being reported it may be 4 rate hikes in 2022 to get to a full percentage point (1%), and now with the markets we may see 5 rate hikes in 2022, source: Goldman Sachs on Inflation

To say that's a bit aggressive would be an understatement. Right now we are at 0.08%. Really think about it, that's 0% interest for borrowing money. When I say it's free, it's free!

"All the big banks will tell you I am full of shit, 'this isn't the 80s, we're professional now'." - Dan Peña

The 1980s were nuts. However to put that in historical perspective even if they got up to 5% eventually, equating to 10% mortgages loans, that's still historically a 5,000 year low. But none of us have that type of time or experience to work off of.

My gut tells me they want 2-4%, but really need 5-8%, cause there are more factors at play.

Regardless of ALL of that, I feel like $6-8 gas is in the future before the 2024 elections, meaning there is going to be a huge squeeze on the middle and lower class just to "go" to work, not counting groceries or anything else. The rate hikes don't mean much to people that don't borrow loans except for mortgages. But it does impact them when all prices start going up for the supplies of their milk.

Less and less disposable income, meaning businesses catering to middle class will see less revenue coming in. But that's always been the story of targeting the middle class.

To bring it back to crypto, what percentage of cryptos were in the middle and lower classes? And not be assets owned but by quantity, even something small 0.025 bitcoins - a fucking lot.

Honestly think of the real estate boom in 2008, everyone was in real estate, strippers in Florida had 5 houses and 1 condo cause of option ARM loans, renting them out. "My guy told me real estate was always going to go up, he is the one that got me into it" Stripper said. Paraphrasing The Big Short movie:

(warning: partial adult content)


Hmmm... "Always going up"? That sounds familiar.

Tether, another thing inflating crypto massively.

I'll do a deep dive into Tether.

Here is my strategy, the reason I look at the Fed and interest rates is because their impact ripples across all the big businesses and big banks, who then make decisions on which sectors to enter and leave accordingly.

So as an analogy: I'm watching the top of a mountain and there are streams, rivers, and lakes flowing from the snowcaps. Those streams and lakes supply water to the villages below, and eventually to the big cities. Well if the snow slows down and there isn't rain for a while it eventually means those streams and lakes are going to dry up, and that will led to big problems for those big city folks.

The Fed's grip is the snow and rain, and they are tightening up the supply.

The end resulting players like real estate, crypto, business loan supplies, factoring and merchant banks - they rarely matter because they come and go with the season.

The money supply is everything. Liquidity is key to all of it. Where is the liquidity going to come from when the free money is over?

We are at 0.08% right now, the Fed wants 2-4%, but probably need 5-8%.

I know you guys think I hate crypto (I do), but I made money and still make money in crypto. What I'm trying to say is don't be stupid, there are questions I've asked about the basics of mainstreaming and usage that have gone un-answered. Now the question is about funding. I know it's a game of musical chairs. But 40%+ return on investment yearly, passively...

Passively?? Come on guys, knock it off.
 
How is it with interest rates hikes and emerging markets? That's bad right?

Yes. When there's 0 or very low interest rates investors take up more risk in order to get some return. That typically means emerging markets or assets.

Also the cost of money goes up so suddendly a lot of investments are no longer profitable or margins are too thin for the risk you are taking.

And cost of debt goes up too so countries with debt have to pay higher interest rates when they issue bonds, etc.

Ok, I was thinking about buying a Vietnam ETF, because of long term potential, particularly when production moves out of China, but is it a bad idea now, just based on interests?
 
Due to the shipping problems several bigs are moving production to Brazil and looking at the rest of South America to get around California's port problems. More: Snarled Supply Chains Force Manufacturing Exodus to Balkans, Latin America

Yeah so thats + for emerging markets, but the interest rates are -.

And then there's the whole covid debt thing for these countries.

In any case, I'll probably buy Vietnam anyway, because I see them as becoming the most prosperous country in SEA within 10-15 years.
 
I just made another ~25% off ACH yesterday

Keep listening to @CCarter

lol. Notice you COMPLETELY skip when i say "I Made a profit" every time

And I was impressed by the guy with $15-million

If you're mad.... I met an AMerican guy in a foreign country, (where i'm currently staying as well) with an impresive portfolio.. Oh well.

There's only one point you should be interested in, in buisnes

Can you make money?

Lol Look at where this post started and where we're at today on prices

Dips are normal/natural

THE S&P IS DOWN TOO.............Feds are about to change interest rates and the US has wars looming on like 4 or 5 sides.

Plus the pandemic

Does that mean the house will fall forever? CLEARLY NO

We're going through a reset. Cryptos will be stronger than ever & set in stone 2 years from now.

Show me one business that's never had a dip.... i'll wait................
 
CC is making money on crypto. He is just trolling for his own lolz and if you believe in the FUD keep holding onto that gun and bible. He should have a banner going to a prepper store or vitamins.

Up/Down the next down will be Bidens executive order on Crypto next month, and then panic sellers, then smart money buys again.

Investigate and research crypto. It took me about a solid month to figure it out and around 4 months to be dialed in. The best info is on Twitter for the pulse, following the builders, movers, shakers, and not "wen lambo" "to the moon" people.
 
Investigate and research crypto.

Yes, if I can find someone who has serious technical skill and very good communication skills then I'll listen.

As I see it, 90% of fintech is straight bullshit, including crypto, while the 10% is going to change the world.

It's a dot com situation all over. I listen to a lot of these young entrepreneurs and its impossible to understand what their product is. That's bullshit.
 
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates at near zero, but reiterated its commitment to withdrawing its pandemic-era easy money policies in the face of rapid price increases.

“With inflation well above 2% and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate,” the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee said in its updated statement.

In its first policy-setting meeting of 2022, the Fed reiterated that U.S. economic activity continues to strengthen despite the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

[..]

Higher rates could address inflation by raising borrowing costs and dampening demand — particularly for goods.

The Fed did not opt to raise interest rates Wednesday because policymakers have messaged that they want to end the central bank’s pandemic-era policy of asset purchases first. The FOMC reaffirmed Wednesday that it will wrap up that process in early March, meaning the first pandemic-era rate hike could be coming in six weeks.

The 2020 damage has been done and we still haven't started seeing the damage from 2021, and they are kicking the can down the road 2 months.

Show me one business that's never had a dip....

Crypto isn't a business. Who are the customers? What reality do you guys live in?

At best it's a pyramid, at worse it's an organized Ponzi and/or pump and dump with all these nonsense coins.

And now...

CC is making money on crypto. He is just trolling for his own lolz and if you believe in the FUD keep holding onto that gun and bible.

We got the crypto guys stating CCarter is pro-crypto. If that's not an indication these guys live in an alternate reality I don't know what is. You guys can't be listening to these guys... and taking them seriously to make a claim about me like that. There is nothing to indicate... I mean I just don't have words.

I listen to a lot of these young entrepreneurs and its impossible to understand what their product is. That's bullshit.

Cause they just want to get rich. These new coins are almost all pump and dump scams.

while the 10% is going to change the world.

"Change the world" - doesn't necessary mean the change is good.


Guy something to really consider, people in crypto have a black heart, and that's fine. But if we don't stop and think than BuSo can become a place where crypto pump and dumpers comes to talk up their latest scam and in the end hurt BuSo members.

These people kept inferring Warren Buffett was in crypto indirectly over and over, until I had to showed video of Buffett and Charlie Munger hating crypto. Why were they going on and on pretending Buffett was in?

Another example: ZAP coin. It was recommended here on August 15th, 2020.

Here is the latest on ZAP:

Screen-Shot-2022-01-26-at-11-57-44-AM.png

If you invested $10,000 based off of "BuSo" recommendations, at $0.19 (August 15, 2020), you would have 52,631 coins or whatever. Today that $10K would be worth $578.94. That's a 94%+ loss. Some people might say "You could have gotten out at the top of $0.37 (May 2021)." Guys, what's the likelihood people don't want to hodl until they get massive returns? $0.37 isn't even double after almost a year.

Look at Bitcoin right now, my recent jump out was at $60K, not at the top at $67K, cause I know there is no way to predict accurately when a downturn will happen. Make profits and fuck off. But that greed keeps people in for "just a bit more", and now here we are at $38K. And a lot of fuckers kicking themselves.

I know "well it's not really BuSo that's recommending it"... Guy, knock it off. If no one is here to stay "hey this is a pump and dump scam", someone is going to fall for it (and get ZAPPED), and they are going to have a bad taste in their mouth for BuSo.

And literally if no one said anything to warn people, this whole forum would get flooded with crypto-crap talk.

Is that what you guys want?

A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into the Digital Strategy Crash Course and have taken their time to help people looking for genuine help on winning in online marketing.

Coming in here talking about crypto-crap and giving people false hopes and dreams about passive return on investments of 40%+, only if you are in the inner circle, and screwing up the BuSo name is like coming into someone's castle and pissing on their floor.

Talk about what you want, but there will be only ONE single thread about this nonsense and we'll constantly be here to remind everyone it's a game of musical chairs. This place will not turn into a place promoting crypto-currency pump and dump nonsense and other outlandish get rich quick scams.

I'll be here constantly reminding it's a game of musical chairs.

The only one not hypnotised by the hype.

That's it. Just think, 40%+ ROI yearly, passively. Come on.

If you're in it take your 10%-20% and fuck off. Get your money, but let's stop pretending you guys are changing the world with digital gems. If you get greedy my little brother Jerome Powell knows how to handle you.
 
One interesting part of crypto has been a framework for decentralized trading.

In 2017 it sucked, with just the same "order book" style of a centralized exchange the concept just did not work. Exchanges needed market makers to provide liquidity but without that, it did not work.

But sometime between then and now a different kind of exchange was developed that basically allows market makers to play a role in a decentralized exchange and get a cut of the trading fee for providing liquidity. It's a pretty cool concept.

Of course, the main application so far has been more shit tokens. Also FYI it's usually a "token" most of the shit stuff does not even qualify to be "coins" to be a "coin" it has to have its own blockchain. Most of the crap projects are just "tokens".

@CCarter with friends

All the 'hoopla' you type and fancy wording

doesn't beat the fact............... I'VE SEEN A LOT OF MONEY FROM CRYPTO since this post started

Just facts, in my wallet. And I know somebody else on this forum who cleared 5 figures off one post I made here but I won't call them out.

But ok. Cheers to you mate. I'll stay focused on crypto, as this post was created to do while you just keep letting years go by, ranting about the next bullshit theory that never panned out as I kept earning

That's some mad bro stuff there.

Talking about Web3 or the next evolution of the internet on an internet marketing board.

I have not been promoting scams, and only talk about DYR what I am doing and what I like.

You sold Bitcoin and made a profit. Congrats. You made money on crypto.

This forum has talked about the 2020 election, chip shortage (renewing passports), Delta, the coming end to civilization etc.. But Crypto takes the cake.
 
I actually think some regulation is good. The article doesn't seem too bad, just giving clarity.

We might be in for a double whammy with news saying "Imminent invasion of Ukraine by Russia". I think stock market and crypto will plunge on that headline. It actually may be down until we see how US and Europe respond. If you have cash watch that plunge like the 2020 crash.

Here is the content from that article below:
"The White House wants to set out a cohesive set of policies to regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as currently legislation and its enforcement are scattered across sectors and agencies, according to multiple reports.

The Biden administration will release an executive order in the coming weeks to task federal agencies with assessing the risks and opportunities that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies pose, Bloomberg first reported.

The order is set to come under the umbrella of national security efforts as the administration seeks to analyze cryptocurrencies and employ a cohesive regulatory framework that would cover Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and NFTs, Barron’s reported Thursday.

“This is designed to look holistically at digital assets and develop a set of policies that give coherency to what the government is trying to do in this space,” a person familiar with the White House’s plan told Barron’s. “Because digital assets don’t stay in one country, it’s necessary to work with other countries on synchronization.”

The regulatory efforts would reportedly involve the State Department, Treasury Department, National Economic Council, and Council of Economic Advisers, as well as the White House National Security Council as the administration gauges that cryptocurrencies have “economic implications for national security,” per the Barron’s report."
 
Exactly. regulation means it's being accepted in some levels

too much scamming from start up coins happened last year

I'm working with various cryptocurrency brands that hve multi-million dollar caps....and i can tell you,

THEY AREN'T WORRIED!

Im buying as much as i can. If i lose, oh well................ i wont lose more than i could win

If i win, i'll be rich.

Senator Wendy Rogers, a Republican, has introduced a new Senate Bill which would make Bitcoin a legal tender across the Grand Canyon State.

S.B. 1127 State agencies; payments; cryptocurrency could allow state agencies to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment method of fines, civil and other penalties, rent, rates, taxes, fees, charges, revenue, financial obligations, and "special assessments" due to the state.

laughing at @CCarter's posts as I buy some more coins today
 
I wouldn't yet. Still falling to come. Maybe $24k give or take. Unless you are shorting

When do you think it will happen?

Either way, havent lost yet.

Still trying to buy more right now . I'm not selling anything these days, unless I see a serious Turnover. Just HODLing

Word has it, SHIB's going to spike because of METAVERSE project
 
I have lost all my money in crypto before. I think it was like 2017? Not sure, but I basically Invested in some money and profited. And so one of my friends invest all his money and made good % from it. My dumbass obviously did the same after seeing him make that much. I did even dumber shit after losing money like day trading. (I day traded based on how I felt like if the coin was gonna go up or not, NOT EVEN like some sort of technique or chart reading or anything.)

I am never investing in crypto or stocks again, my friend (not the one who invested in crypto) had been telling me not to invest in bitcoin/crypto and he made me realize I was literally just gambling. It legit gave a TON of dopamine just looking at the charts go up and down. I stopped doing whatever business I was doing back then just to check crypto stats daily. Glad I learned this lesson early in life, it wasn't a lot of money but it was all I had.

I still believe blockchain technology is the future but just like the dot com bubble, only a few companies survive and you don't know which.

Also, @Ryuzaki in one of the posts said like a straight SEO plan should get you an ROI of 80-90% otherwise ur doing it wrong. How come people here who have 6-7 figures don't just dump all that money into this vs stocks/crypto/real estate? You have no control over the stocks or crypto, but with YOUR business (niche site) you have more control on your end so why not do that? Or if you do ecommerce like some people who do crazy figures (like make millions) why not just spend more and more to get the most $?

So like if your making 1k per month from a site, you spend money on articles, you start making 2k now. Why not just keep doing that over and over? "Oh google can pull the rug" So can the stocks, crypto and every investment.
