    The liquidity on poloniex is poor daily volume is in the hundreds of thousands, rather than millions. I make the assumption an idiot set off a market sell order for a huge amount then the few noobs that keep tokens on exchange with limit order got wiped out.

    Nature of the beast. 24hour markets with low liquidity carry this risk.

    Amazing how bitcoin holds up here. Monster selling, but tons of new tethers created to absorb. This could bounce heavily if it succeeds. But obviously, all these new positions will need to be sold back into the market, so it's only borrowed time eventually.

    Where do you find out that more tether has been printed? (Is it overall market cap of tether?)

    There are a couple of twitter accounts that are following it, every time there are new coins created and transferred.

    Also, 95% of all tethers in circulation have been created since the 2020 selloff.

    Probably nothing.

    The Biden administration is preparing to release an executive action that will task federal agencies with regulating digital assets such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a matter of national security, a person familiar with the White House’s plan tells Barron’s. The national security memorandum, expected to come in the next few weeks, would task parts of the government with analyzing digital assets and assembling a regulatory framework that covers cryptos, stablecoins, and NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, this person said. “This is designed to look holistically at digital assets and develop a set of policies that give coherency to what the government is trying to do in this space,” the person said. The State Department, Treasury Department, National Economic Council, and Council of Economic Advisers would be involved in the initiative. The White House National Security Council would also be involved, the person said, since crypto has economic implications for national security. Along those lines, the administration would instruct agencies to work on harmonizing regulations of digital assets between countries.

    Someone thought I might be interested in this Board position and referred me - what an opportunity to change the world and make $$ billions at the same time!

    This role is for a passionate GLOBAL INVESTOR (M/W) that aims to leave a legacy for society and have a stake in the next TRILLION DOLLAR GLOBAL UNICORN.
    Our genuine global business culture is 100% fully decentralized with 60 team members, growing every month and spread out over more than 20 countries.
    We are looking for a Global Investor with access to the Global Investment Community and Board position experience.

    I think I'll have to pass though, wouldn't have enough time left to police Sales Corner and really cannot give up on that.

    Anyone else interested and I can put you in touch?

    Yeah he's paid his 6k a month a salary in equivalent BTC , if it drops that month he loses, if it gains he wins, repeats then every month

    That's not taking your salary in bitcoin. It is just using bitcoin as currency, which is remarkably nonsensical and inefficient.

    But crypto headline.

    Reading the article, I don’t think he’s being paid in Bitcoin, it says he’s converting his salary to Bitcoin, which makes it even more of a non story.

    Intel backing BTC

    Intel will produce a Bitcoin Miner called Bonanza mine, to compete directly with all the Chinese companies (Bitmain, Antminer etc.). Already sold some to a partner, so it's not a rumor.

    There's what appears to be a halfway decent analysis of Intel's recent teasers for their yet to be publicly announced/acknowledged SHA256 chips here.

    I’m not so sure you can say Intel are backing BTC on the back of this story

    In the California gold rush, the people selling the shovels made more money then most of the prospectors

    I see it as more mainstream adoption / acceptance which is worth more in the long run

    Just my view of course

    When in trouble, double!

    Michael, why are the transactions getting smaller and smaller? Why not go in with a whole billion like you did when bitcoin was trading at $58,000?

    What, you got no money left to buy? How unfortunate!

    They are also due to release the Q4 financial results which will doubtless be read with interest in some quarters, as much for the presentation as the contents.

    Oh look, $831 million bitcoin-related impairments. Turns out buying funny assets at inflated prices comes with real consequences. Can't wait until they do all their accounting in bitcoin, or go bankrupt - whatever comes first.

    Hilarious.

    Expect liquidity to migrated within a week and it will all calm down to the usual btc related crashes.

    All said an done it’s about 10% lower than close on Friday. Which given the market is to be expected.
    I have to admit I completely lost track of Floki - I know it has split but I cannot find it listed on a single exchange. And no price to be found on pancake either?

    What am I doing wrong?

    Can you explain why it’s called an impairment “charge”? It sounds like it’s some sort of fine that they have to pay to the SEC or Fed, but surely not.

    Is it just a charge that has to be shown on paper due to the archaic SEC accounting rules?

    If they were allowed to show the BTC gains and not ONLY the losses, their accounts would look rather healthier.

    Sure. Let's change the internationally agreed accounting rules until they fit the special needs of your hero. I suppose we could also change the way that capital increases are accounted for so that they create less dilution? How about generally making sure numbers can only go up?

    I am ignoring the first part of your question, I am sure your Google will be able to solve that for you.

    This article written a couple of days ago discusses the point you make, or at any rate attempts to show how difficult it can be to incorporate 'digital assets' into current financial reporting practices.

    Very helpful and interesting article, thanks Pete.

    It certainly seems very odd, unfair even, that public companies with crypto on their balance sheets have to account for (paper) losses, but can never include subsequent gains if the value of their assets goes back up again.

    What a nonsense.

    The rules have been the same since forever, why would an exception be created for MicroStrategy? There have always been assets on balance sheets that have to be marked to lowest, and many technology companies have had problems with this. Another example is accounting for goodwill, which has led to similar SEC actions in the past.

    And let's not forget that Saylor has previous, been charged for accounting fraud back in 2000 when Microstrategy materially overstated their revenues and the stock price fell 99% over the next two years.
