The Powell pivot is complete. Powell is dovish across the board—from the same stage where he two years ago signaled the Fed would accept a recession as the price of restoring inflation: “The cooling in labor market conditions is unmistakable.” “It seems unlikely that the labor

It can't be this predictable, right? Very curious to see how crypto reacts over the next 4 weeks.. Great timeframe to create a new narrative. Based on what Benjamin The Whale Hunter said this week, seems whales are getting active again.

This might be the worst account I've seen of late. If a foreign country has 100 units in its currency.. what happens when DXY goes down... does "liquidity" go up? 🧐

Continue to throttle the economy.. and you will push people to express themselves in an economy they can opt into. Listen to this and it'll be like a cuban roast of espresso

Let's say you build a lot of roads. But there is nobody lives there to use them. Is it valuable? Not yet. Then you build a lot of houses. But nobody wants to live there, because there are no jobs and no other people. Is it valuable? Not yet. Then you build a lot of factories.

vitalik.eth MilliΞ To get to the era of building useful and 'cool' tech that is not primarily focused on finance/speculation means we need to have greater price stability. It also requires us to realize why we lack price stability in the first place... To start, current volatility in the network

Good explanation from Amit on weekly ranges.. if you look at when price got absolutely decimated, it lines up with how he viewed the trading range bottom at $61.5k. Price touched it, trade was invalidated quickly on the bounce, price then dropped over $3k fast

When the memecoin frenzy happened as a result of the SEC signaling to crypto the only token that could exist is one with zero utility..We lost a wave of adoption and potential early stage app users. Bring back innovation, allow for token utility and usage! We deserve better!

Don de Belle PoW is an arbitrage on energy cost and current price / speculative future price. That's fine if those doing PoW are foundational to a network economy - they are credit creators, create cost of capital in the economy. Think of them like banks for a network economy - they obtain

Commissioner Mersinger on CFTC Uniswap action "my hope that one day soon the Commission would consider rulemaking, or at the very least guidance, making clear how DeFi protocols could comply with them. Unfortunately, today is not that day." Below is 🔥 cftc.gov/PressRoom/Spee…

Celestia doing 1gb blockspace would be like taking a 2-lane highway and expanding it to 8 lanes.. Next to a town that isn't growing. If my car takes up less space relative to what's available, costs drop... And usage of the token to pay for that space drops -> deflationary

"Rates are moving bc inflation expectations are changing, labor market is b.s., un-inversion means markets crash, liquidity, Yellen arrrgghhhh!!!! You can't just draw a line to predict things!" Rates are not that complicated... Rate cut coming. Market says 25bps for now.
