Hey, I've learnt something today!  Thanks for that!

Adyinvestment

I am starting to see some pretty big potential needle mover news coming through


Germany opening up special funds to invest in Crypto (potentially up to $415 Billion)

German Law Allowing $415B Investment Into Crypto Takes Effect | Nasdaq


650 US bank branches about to offer Bitcoin to their 24 million customers

Deal Could See 650 Banks Offer Bitcoin to 24 million Customers (yahoo.com)


I am seeing stories every day about this bank or this country or this institution or this business or this fund getting into Crypto - the adoption rate in other countries is really picking up steam. The UK needs to pick up its big T-Rex head and look around at what is happening elsewhere.

Crypto shills:  please be aware that there is an angry anti-crypto bloke monitoring this thread.  Please also be advised that he's Scottish and there's a major sporting competition under way, so he's in an even worse mood.

Not to do with bitcoin but managed to sell my First NFT yesterday for 27x what i paid for it and i didn't like them to star with but i guess it was a lucky buy

Haha nice. I keep meaning to do some research on NFTs but I can't really be bothered, think I have some art ones I paid a few ETH for somewhere. 

Collectibles within games could be pretty cool for it

yeah i'm not really in to them either but it was a mystery box NFT on one of the platforms i use so got 5 sold 1 and will hold the rest and hope something good in them

Not shilling for the cash but by all means have a dabble if you like and definitely worth watching me awkwardly reading my lines in the video, haha.

FTX just closed a 900m investment yesterday too. Plenty of money around and a lot going in to crypto.

Bitcoin price up again after Elon Musk says that Tesla *may* accept it again for payments.
This is becoming a farce. The cynical side of me suspects that the he has decided the price has fallen enough and has filled his boots, so now time for pump and dump again.

Perhaps the US equivalent of SFO may want to look a bit more closer into his side hustle and whether price manipulation is taking place? Or is it perfectly to do all this because this is an unregulated "financial product"?

If Musk bought shares in his own company and then made an announcement to drive the price up, e.g. inventing an imaginary takeover bid, that would be securities fraud - and he has been successfully prosecuted for exactly that (he settled with the SEC).

My understanding however is that crypto is not regulated by the SEC, and if bros want to sell tokens to Musk and then later give him more money to buy them back, that's their own lookout. 

I am not sure if Musk's knowledge that he is about to make a statement on accepting Bitcoin counts as insider trading. The effect of him making an announcement could be cancelled out by the Chinese having another crackdown or just a general selloff with no particular cause.

He knows what he's doing.

He apparently was going to stop taking Bitcoin payments due to the environmental impact.

What's changed since in that regard to warrant taking them again? Nothing, only that the price has fallen enough that a media story pump will budge it up a few pc points again.
