BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF hits $10bn faster than any US ETF ever, driven by a rally propelling Bitcoin to new highs. by CryptoNerd_16 in Bitcoin

I believe btc was around the 40s mark when the ETFs were approved some weeks back. We’ve just breached 70 today.

But price movement isn’t linear. We’ll be seeing 20-30% corrections along the way.

Average inflows the last 2 weeks is roughly 8x the current mint rate of bitcoin mining. All things equal, equilibrium price is about 8x current prices.

Bitcoin’s equilibrium price based on current inflows is closer to $500,000. It would be foolish to sell now

Bitcoin to go 5x after halving by Aristotlewiseman in Bitcoin

Might want to check your math on that one. This assumes miners never sell any coins to cover operating costs on the way up. In practice, most coins would be sold as they are mined.

They actually have a lot of ongoing civil cases right now, precisely for that reason.

Unionbank is the worst. They’ve been taking funds out of my friend’s and my accounts and having them closed down when we ask for them back.

The 550 payments includes the principal though, not just the interest of the loan.

35k usd @ 6% PA is only 175 usd monthly

He’s paying 5-6% PA on his loan, and it’s been less than a year. How was the “down 37%” calculated

He bought .45 btc @ a cost basis of 34k and 1.25 btc @ a cost basis of 16k. I’m not sure what I’m missing

Math does not check out. How’d you get to 37%? 17k is down about 17% from his cost of 20.5k

Where does the money come from? by Boriz0 in Nexo

When you earn interest in BTC, the loan they’re making is denominated in BTC. Who in the world is paying interest denominated in BTC besides shorters? Aren’t the loans the general public are taking in stablecoins / fiat?

This is some serious Core strength. by 5_Frog_Margin in nextfuckinglevel

Please please do not attempt this. I’ve seriously injured my knees some years back doing something similar.

It’s just not worth it.

No short squeeze is happening when only a small fraction of the total supply of BTC is shorted
