When the gold standard was abolished, the currency market began to flourish. Forex was born and became part of the financial market (Daily trading volume exceeds $6 trillion ). The Internet gave birth to digital currencies and now crypto has become an integral part of the financial world system (Daily trading volume exceeds $50 billion). Having the ability to exchange crypto for shares and other financial instruments is simply amazing news!

$ETH Reminder: Ethereum is expected to have a Pectra update in May and in June the SEC may approve the application from Grayscale and Fidelity to allow staking of ETH, which will provide a powerful influx of capital, an increase in capitalization and liquidity.
#Bitcoin dominance continues to grow, which is understandable, instability in the world, more trust in proven projects, alts are falling accordingly, for the start of the #AltcoinSeason, a stop to Bitcoin dominance is needed, but as we see, we are not at the maximum yet
Michael decided to take on even more debt, increasing the existing 8 billion dead presidents. He believes in HODL and eternal growth and currently has an unrealized profit of about 6 billion, but he has a dead mouse hanging on his account. If Bitcoin falls, then his financial genius will very quickly become an avalanche of sales How their scheme works: 1. Issue shares and bonds 📈 Sell new MSTR shares → get cash. 💵 Issue bonds (debt securities) → investors give them money at interest. 2. With this money they buy Bitcoin 🟧 Everything that was attracted - they go and buy BTC. They do not sell. They just hold. Never fix the profit. 3. If BTC grows → the price of MSTR shares grows MSTR shares become like an "ETF on Bitcoin". 📊 BTC growth = MicroStrategy capitalization growth. 🔁 They repeat again The stock price has grown → they issue more stocks/bonds → they buy more BTC → and so on in a circle. 📌 What's the trick: They use other people's money (debt) to buy BTC. They themselves sell almost nothing. They bet: BTC will grow faster than the interest on the debt. I am very worried about this situation. Perhaps I am voicing an unpopular opinion, I am sure that Bitcoin will survive this too if there is a forced liquidation of the Strategy's assets. But we traders must see deeper
$BTC We may well reach 150k by autumn, it is important to hold 80k. I assumed a test of 70k, while the divergence for a month has NOT been worked out yet, everything is still possible, but the background of bitcoin acceptance is very strong, which by the way may not affect the #altseason in any way, what is dead will die no matter what
Interestingly, Tether is essentially run by one person (maybe), JL van der Velde, and they are now under the jurisdiction of El Salvador. He owns a 20% stake in Tether and is worth $3.9 billion. Tether's share of the crypto market is 66% of stablecoins. Tether has 5.2% of the total crypto market cap.
They most likely moved their headquarters to El Salvador this year because of the tax breaks. Tax breaks: The ICT Innovation Act provides a 15-year tax holiday for tech companies, including exemption from income, property, and capital gains taxes
Here is a visual diagram of Tether's structure:
In the center is Tether Holdings, which issues USDT. It is run by key figures also associated with Bitfinex - Paolo Ardoino, Jean-Louis van der Velde, and Stuart Hoegner. Bitfinex and Tether are closely linked, with Deltec Bank being one of Tether's main banks.
The headquarters recently moved to El Salvador, adding strategic importance to the region but also giving it some leverage over a major crypto player
As we can see, it is very profitable to mine Bitcoin in Russia, especially in the north 📊 Share of countries in the global hashrate: USA — 36% Russia — 16% China — 14% Canada — 3% Kazakhstan — 2.5% 16% of the hashrate in Russia is an influence on the security of the Bitcoin network and a geopolitical lever in the digital space. If, for example, Russia + Iran + China + someone else agree and gain 51%, then a 51% attack is possible. It seems that Russia is taking a new level of influence in the global economy through crypto. Are we in for a battle of crypto thrones? $BTC
Michael Saylor's firm Strategy now holds 553,555 BTC — worth over $37.9B at an average price of $68,459/BTC.
Just yesterday, they bought 15,355 BTC more for $1.42B at $92,737/BTC.
But here's the catch: They carry over $8B in debt, with annual interest and dividends nearing $185M.
In recent filings, Strategy hinted that a sharp BTC drop could force a partial liquidation — a risk Saylor downplays, but it’s in the official documents.
With Saylor controlling so much BTC, could his leveraged bet become a threat to Bitcoin's price growth? #BTC $BTC
