I'm convinced the fiat speculation game has also affected #Bitcoin.

Most Bitcoin exposures via hedge funds and structured products is paper-based and is only backed by margin, rehypothecation, and trust.

It has caused to temper #Bitcoin upwards trend.

But that also means the price pressure has coiled-up.

If the price breaks out, by simply too much real demand / too little supply, short positions will be forcefully terminated and cause a so called short squeeze.

We have seen some amazing samples of derivatives squeezes in the past, and a very interesting one is the silver squeeze caused by the Hunt brothers.

The problem with derivatives and physical, thus limited, commodities is that when the delivery of that commodity is requested and that commodity is not sufficient available the price movement will be extremely volatile and only increasing the problems.

It is hard to imagine what will happen when the only absolutely capped commodity will enter such a market condition.

Extreme price increases will only create more demand.

There are no safety switches that will stop trading.

Nor are there any cool down periods build in since trading can take place 24/7/365.

I don't think it will be healthy.

But considering derivatives speculation is building up, the limitless amount of fiat sloshing around, and the mentioned properties of Bitcoin, it is almost certain to happen at some point.

Why? You worried they might Epstein him? 👀

The Brazilian government has ordered two cruise ships, Costa Diadema and MSC Seaview, to Belém for the #COP30 climate conference. Together, they consume 500,000 liters of diesel daily and emit over 1,200 tons of CO2.

The 213,500 BTC Bulgaria sold in 2018 are now worth 79% of its public debt.

Europeans are simply suicidal.

However, voters are growing disillusioned with the left, with constant headlines showing migrant crime rising and the border crisis worsening. The Canary Islands have seen a record number of illegal migrants arriving by the thousands in the Canary Islands, which has led to a 400 percent jump in violent crime in 2025.

i hate UBI. they basically have had it for a very long time in australia and it distorts the labor marketplace to create permanent underemployed and unemployed classes.

i was in the former category, couldn't get a job because my productivity and qualifications were below the first rung of the ladder. since coming to europe, finding work has been, pretty much, easy.

even if my qualifications were not great, pretty much got into almost everything i tried to find a position in so far.

i'm rather qualified now though, but people have bad taste in programming languages so the positions are a little scarce anyway.

I didn't know that. That's fucking ridiculous, they're there to uphold the law, not make money🙄.

Why do German's think that Bahn AG is not state owned? Oh right, cause it's a publicly traded company, a result of the "privatisation" of rail, telecommunications and co many years ago. But...

Deutsche Bahn AG (Bahn AG) is indeed a joint-stock company (Aktiengesellschaft), but it is 100% owned by the German federal government through a holding company called Bundeseisenbahnvermögen (BEV). So despite being "publicly traded" in legal form, it's effectively state-owned — there are no private shareholders.

That's why train stations and co are being protected by the "Bundespolizei" at a cost of approximately €64 million annually while the rail network itself is lacking maintenance across the entire country.

an OG would certainly not just go sell it all at once lol, i mean who would sell it all at once. easier to just coinjoin a bit and go buy a ranch and retire
