    Hi,

    Goldbugs are now the new heros, since they didn't
    believe in Crypto, which recently saw a Wipeout,
    and they now simply walk into a Store with a big Pincher:

    Goldbugs going to the grocery store

    And see also:

    Gold Bug: What It Is, How It Works, and Example https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goldbug.asp

    Bye

    P.S.: Gold reputation wasn't always good:

    - Gold peaked around 2011 during the aftermath
    of the Federal Reserve QE era and eurozone crisis panic.

    - Then from 2012 to 2015 it slid hard
    rCo roughly a ~40rCo45% drop.

    - Meanwhile, US equities (like the S&P 500) went
    on a monster bull run.

    - And by the mid-2010s, crypto (especially Bitcoin)
    started stealing the rCLhard money / anti-fiatrCY narrative.

    The West doesn't need Crypto. There is

    You mean the "Board of Piss"' dumped in its scattergory
    saudi sovereign shekels, because the dirty money didn't

    Maybe you should look into some nice bonds, ....
    The Japanese made a major shift to increase

    These days the Swiss are almost giving better

    Hi,

    Who is the "you", do you mean "one"?
    Like in "one" should drop the idea of
    crypto gold as a store of wealth.

    Well you are wellcome to write it like
    that, since I am not seeking advice.
    I am only commenting the currious

    events and how they progress from
    delusion to another delusion. But I
    wont tell how to get out of this

    vicious cycle, since I don't know the
    optimum and the future. Even if you
    take some actions, its always bounded

    rationality and uncertainty.

    Have Fun!

    Hi,

    I am not sure whether the some bond advice
    is the best advice, it depends whether you
    are risk adverse or risk seeking, and what

    bothers you most, inflation or what else?
    If one is a little more risk seeking one
    might be better of with real estate.

    In general it might be anyways a bad sign,
    that a portfolio isn't diversified yet,
    i.e. either a gold bug portfolio, or a

    bitcoin believer portfolio. 5 years from
    now gold bugs might be hit, if some long
    term cycle hits the financial markets, or

    if Elon Musk has found gold on mars.

    Hi,

    Its really amazing how the Mar-A-Logo Effect
    works. BTC went from oversold to overbought.
    And price recovered a little bit.

    But the pendelum might swing back, into new
    wipeouts. (*) What one can already see, price
    doesn't break the 70'000 barrier, right?

    Its not a rocket to the moon effect, this
    surreal Mar-A-Logo theatre. And in crypto
    the weekends determine how the whole comming

    week works out. Whales setting the stage,
    Shrimps only having a minor impact. Won't
    change much during the comming week, right?

    You see overbought/oversold here:

    Crypto Relative Strength Index (RSI)
    https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/rsi/

    Bye

    (*) Thats an interesting question what might
    trigger new wipeouts. What are the landmarks,
    when whales come out of their hibernation,

    and perform some market actions?

    P.S.: Gold reputation wasn't always good:

    - Gold peaked around 2011 during the aftermath
    of the Federal Reserve QE era and eurozone crisis panic.

    - Then from 2012 to 2015 it slid hard
    -a-a rCo roughly a ~40rCo45% drop.

    - Meanwhile, US equities (like the S&P 500) went
    on a monster bull run.

    - And by the mid-2010s, crypto (especially Bitcoin)
    started stealing the rCLhard money / anti-fiatrCY narrative.

    Hi,

    How crypto bors see their own crypto.
    There is no evil or good, just market
    nechanics, of a ponzi scheme collapsing:

    Bitcoin Edges Towards Crucial Price Level,
    Testing Major BettersrCO Resilience https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/bitcoin-edges-towards-crucial-price-level-testing-major-betters-resilience

    So if it moves up, there is wipeout.
    And if it moves down there is wipeout:

    - If Bitcoin moves up sharply through a
    critical resistance (~$90K in this case),
    heavily leveraged short positions get liquidated.

    - Bitcoin plummets below key support,
    leveraged long positions get liquidated.

    LoL

    The problem with you derivative-pinching idiots

    "Margin call" is the usual idea.



    Mar-a-lago? Isn't that a little close in boat-travel
    distance to El Dorado? You know, one never hears much

    Hi,

    Oki Rossy Boy. You are stubborn right?
    He probably read this article:

    As students and professors begin classes
    in September, the financing departments of
    many universities have been very busy: last
    week University of Virginia sold a 100-year
    bond at even lower rates rCo 3.23 percent rCo
    while Rutgers University plans to issue $330
    million for 100 years, at a rate not yet
    announced. MITrCOs 2011 century-bond issue at
    5.6 percent now looks very expensive. https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/the-return-of-the-century-bond/

    Well nobody cares whether a bond is 100
    years or 30 years. As long as it can be traded
    and has an interest rate? Right? Or maybe you

    don't like liquidity from time to time? A
    bond that has 3 - 6% per year has maybe less
    return on invest than real estate, which can

    have 6% - 10% per year easily, if you can find,
    and buy early and very low. And/or if you have
    tenants that pay rent.

    Bye

    BTW: I can easily top the 100 years by 1 year:

    Lease Length: 101 yrs left https://www.winkworth.co.uk/properties/sales/martin-house-falmouth-road-london-se1/KEN230421

    Check out allow subletting freely.
    You find also leashold for 1000 years.

    Hi,

    Now comes the fun part. Bonds can crash.

    After the post-COVID stimulus period,
    there was a major bond crash in 2022,
    and long-term bonds were hit especially hard.

    How bad was it?
    - The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index fell
    about 13% in 2022 rCo the worst year in modern history.
    - Long-duration Treasury bond funds dropped 20rCo30%.
    - Some ultra-long bonds (50rCo100 years) lost even more.

    What does it mean. It means you could not
    liquidate it without loosing all your total
    interest more or less, depending how

    long you did hold it. A 20% drop in price,
    means you lost 4 years or so, if the interest
    rate was 5%. A further problem is that,

    inflation is a hidden danger for bonds,
    especially long-term ones like 100-year bonds.
    If inflation is 2% per year, your $1,000

    bond paying $50 per year ($50 |+ $1,000 = 5%)
    actually gives you less purchasing power each year.

    Bye

    BTW: Real estate has different dynamics.

    Hi,

    Oki Rossy Boy. You are stubborn right?
    He probably read this article:

    As students and professors begin classes
    in September, the financing departments of
    many universities have been very busy: last
    week University of Virginia sold a 100-year
    bond at even lower rates rCo 3.23 percent rCo
    while Rutgers University plans to issue $330
    million for 100 years, at a rate not yet
    announced. MITrCOs 2011 century-bond issue at
    5.6 percent now looks very expensive. https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/the-return-of-the-century-bond/

    Well nobody cares whether a bond is 100
    years or 30 years. As long as it can be traded
    and has an interest rate? Right? Or maybe you

    don't like liquidity from time to time? A
    bond that has 3 - 6% per year has maybe less
    return on invest than real estate, which can

    have 6% - 10% per year easily, if you can find,
    and buy early and very low. And/or if you have
    tenants that pay high rent.

    Bye

    BTW: I can easily top the 100 years by 1 year:

    might be better of with real estate.

    Hi,

    Since Mac Neger called me an IT supporter,
    I do what lazy IT supporters do. They don't
    sign leashold contracts. They don't bring

    tenants on board. They speculate with ETFs.
    The below could be a sleeper cannon, who knows,
    slowly rebounding to pre Corona levels.

    Currently it has some green candles:

    iShares Developed Markets Property Yield UCITS ETF https://www.justetf.com/ch/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B1FZS350

    ETFs are quick. So if you think some alarm bells
    are ringing, you can rotate easily and instantaneous.
    The composition sheet says:

    Immobilien 96,29%
    Sonstige 3,38%

    Hi,

    Now comes the Quizz and IQ Test. What are
    the escape assets of the Crypto Wipeout.
    Statistics shows that a lot of crypto was

    sold, generating liquidity. Where does the
    liquidity go now. Rossy Boys bonds or
    IT supporters real estate?

    Probably both. The real estate ETF had
    exactly a price hike the last few days,
    possibly due to some demand.

    One could easily realize a win of 5%,
    in case one bought the ETF before the price
    hike. And realize this win over a small

    period of a few days. Amazing!

    Or as the saying goes: Traders like Volatility

    Hi,

    So what killed bitcoin. Was it the death
    embrace of financial markets, moving it into
    instutional hands (*) via ETF.

    A Death Embrace that had also support
    by Donald Trump that managed once to even
    ruin a Casino. What one could see pretty much

    12 months ago was not only a trump rally
    in terms of voting, Bitcoin was also down
    and saw a surged after trump got its ticket.

    Now Bitcoin is obvisouly completely crashing.
    This morning the downfall continues from
    68'000 to 65'000. As I predicet the week

    doesn't care about the weekend.

    Have Fun!

    Bye

    (*) Institutaional hands means also more

    Hi,

    Welcome the idea of Bitcoin to Zero, its a new
    Google Search Top-Ten term:

    rCyBitcoin to zerorCO searches spike in the U.S.,
    but the bottom signal is mixed Google Trends
    data shows the term hit a record high in the
    U.S. this month, though global interest has
    fallen since peaking in August." https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/02/22/bitcoin-to-zero-searches-spike-in-the-u-s-but-the-bottom-signal-is-mixed

    So who will close the door last, and take the
    ruin with him? Could it be the stupid USA? With
    their silly strategic reserve?

    "In the rest of the world, searches for the
    term peaked in August, suggesting fear is
    concentrated [now] in the U.S. rather than worldwide."

    Now Shrimps paniking not having clear exit plans,
    and Whales possibly just watching and smiling,
