It will be incredibly hard to get enough hash power power to agree to this, and then even if they somehow did the others could immediately fork and continue on with the hold chain. Doing so would crush

The only part I disagree with is the "soon" statement. I don't think what you are describing here will happen for some time...

Yep, pretty much.

I believe so yes, and no I think the US will launch one by the end of this year.

They are happy to soak up what retail panic sells. And so the liquid supply gets squeezed tighter and tighter...

BTW, you sparked an idea for a post I plan to do later on bitcoin demand vs new supply. Thanks for spark! :)

Exactly. The futures and cash settled ETFs aren't very exciting to me. Physically settled ones are awesome.

We should make a bet? I think the bullish move is just getting started...

Yep, the fact that the supply on Exchanges is dropping so much while 900 new bitcoin are coming out every day shows how much is actually being sucked off Exchanges. A ton...

I think the meltdown you and others seem to think is imminent is going to take a lot longer than most realize...

We are likely to see huge economic growth in the coming months, but it will be coming off very low numbers.

Yea, it will be interesting to see how the FED responds. They can do nothing and just ignore it, they can back off their buying and let the free market dictate rates, or they can dig in and buy even more...

I would like to see this next one come out, mostly because if it does I think it guarantees bitcoin goes to $100k this year. :)

It represents a return to more "normal" market conditions. In the medium term its good and healthy, in the short term its causing some turmoil.

Inflation in the money supply often isn't felt in the real economy for some time...

I don't think so, but others seem to. I think a rising tide will lift all boats.

It will be interesting indeed. Interpolability among different chains seems to be starting to take hold.

That didn't surprise me at all. When things first went south, people had no money. It wasn't until the governments around the world printed a bunch of it and distribute it out did crypto really start to

Pushing merchants to dealing in crypto...
