No one talks about Tether enough... It is the backbone of liquidity for the crypto industry, if that goes belly up the whole thing will implode on itself. It would go down as the largest financial fraud in the history of the world, larger than Madoff and all the rest. USDC is a better alternative as it has been apparently regulated within the United States, and from what I've heard actually audited.

Let's all just hope that Tether will be able to withstand the next bear market, which I just don't think they will be able to - there's too many ETFs and larger players at stake now. Personally wouldn't ever INVEST in the asset just for this reason... Until Tether has been audited I would steer clear far away from it.

Yes, but what happens when BTC and all Alt/Coins finally capitulate?
I expect the downturn to be around August - October 2025.
Where do you put your profits if you don't put at least some into Stablecoins?
Pairing and Swaps are fine now. However, when capitulation comes Pairing and Swaps won't save you.
That is why I would like some clarification on the proposals and regulations with the legal obligations of holding Stablecoins
such as USDC and USDT. We still don't have that yet. Especially in Australia. Banks are trying to tighten their reigns with how
much you can transfer to an exchange.

At some time shortly after that, I don't expect Gold to continually to go up given its current trajectory.
Also am expecting a large crash in the stock market not too long after BTC takes a nose bleed. Might see it in 2026.

To me, that means keeping very liquid, as there will be bargains to be had down the track.
Just my concerns and opinion in an unregulated market.

If that did happen , Do you think stable coins can help?
A plankton will be first gone in the food chain.
Yes, it will happens again and again.
This is not the first time.
 
Not the type of money Satoshi had in mind when he created BTC, but how was he to know what the future would make of his invention?

Trad-fi meets blockchain means BTC is collateral!!! From 35 minutes:

That title alone makes me think they're crazy lol. 10mil Bitcoin & 100k MicroStrategy... are they insane or trolling :eek:

450 Trillion dollar market capitalisation of Bitcoin LMAO. I don't want to watch the whole video, but do they touch on these price predictions, or are they just used for clickbait? @mmm....shiney!

Watch it yourself.

The bit I found interesting (and it's not the price prediction) was time stamped above.

It's Christmas, I ain't got 55 minutes to spare, especially because I still gottta do my gift shopping today LOL :confused::confused::confused: (i hate shopping so much).

I'm only really interested in the price prediction part, I couldn't see any mention of it in the timestamps that's all. If they don't mention that then I'd be wasting my time.
 
Please yourself. The concept of BTC as collateral would be one of the fundamentals behind their price prediction.

I guess that is pretty interesting, I didn’t think something so volatile could be used as collateral tbh.

Satoshi's original idea of BTC as a trustless means of exchange could evolve into a trustless means of pledging security.

And I guess as volatility declines over time so would the LVRs.

Watching it now, still have to admit that the idea of 10mil BTC & 100k Microstrategy is nothing short of insane. I've listened to the opinion on collateral, and while it could do this, why bother? It's a great example of something trying to reinvent the wheel, sometimes things are fine as they are. I've personally used Bitcoin in escrow online, and I can say from first hand account that it can take the network awhile to process transactions between holders, which would definitely be a problem if Bitcoin were ever to have widespread adoption like these two were suggesting. Payments need to be timely in broader context scenarios, so waiting 5-10 minutes for confirmations is not ideal. Plus the 5-10 minutes wait time was when Bitcoin was a lot smaller than it is now, I can't imagine what stress the network is under now.

Also the opinion that Bitcoin will go up forever is also very biased and short-sighted. Unlike commodities, there is a vast array of other cryptocurrencies that can be created that have the SAME PROPERTIES that could potentially one day replace Bitcoin if some kind of event or shift in culture is to take place. My main point is that Bitcoin is just far too new of an asset class to be so sure that it will last the test of time. Also they mentioned pricing equities in Bitcoin? I have no idea where this came from but I can't even fathom why or how this would work, and they didn't even explain it either, they just basically said it will happen just "because". Trade premises based on prayers and hopes generally do not work out.
