Are bitcoin owners making a crypto-exit?

Every system has a weakness, every poker player a tell. Bitcoin is no different. Don't trade opinions, study the unwinding of short positions. BTC is underpinned by stablecoins to easily transfer cash between currencies. The biggest is Tether - 3rd ...

MT5 crosshairs

For FX or other instruments? There's a big difference in what's available.

How can you track the "smart money”

Zero sum absolutely. What's mad though is some people, even when presented with information that would give them not only direction, but the source, the reason, the cause and even the timing to be on the right side, cheerfully ignore it! Crazy old ...

that's an excellent entry, hats off to you squire. I hope you've GTFO or if not, at the next bounce upwards.... Tether reminds me of the ERM peg, only less stable, backed up by less money proportionately, and full of way more corruption. When it ...

If crypto mining is banned -- impossible. It would require unilateral decisions across every country in the world... not likely in our generation. If crypto mining becomes unprofitable -- then supply is capped, price rises. Also, in btc 19 million ...
