Old Microwave ovens make quick and cheap faraday cages. Garage sales are your friend...

Nice, thanks for that.

Why are you interested in old microwave ovens to use as faraday cages when you say no war will be occurring for years, if ever?

I don't say that. Read more.

Why the Floor for Bitcoin Is Zero

BARRON'S NEWSLETTERS
The Barron's Daily
A morning briefing on what you need to know in the day ahead, including exclusive commentary from Barron's and MarketWatch writers.


Recent crypto buyers who are sitting on deep losses surely don’t need me reminding them that Bitcoin has no cash flows or dividends. But for the benefit of inexperienced traders who are being urged in meme-trading chat rooms to “buy the dip”: The floor for crypto is zero.

I’m not saying it’s headed there. In a Barron’s cover story last fall, I noted that the market value of crypto was approaching the money supply of the United Kingdom. That’s enough critical mass to suggest the asset class will be around for many years. In fact, I’m not sure there’s a mechanism for broken cryptos to disappear like defunct companies. There could be thousands of these things floating around like abandoned space debris for our lifetimes.

And I don’t doubt that there will be periodic, fierce crypto rallies. But “buy the dip” is advice best reserved for things that become cheap relative to some measure of fundamental value. Crypto doesn’t qualify. As Nassim Taleb recently tweeted about Bitcoin, “ …a falling price makes it less desirable.” That’s because Bitcoin, as he puts it, is a “contagion-driven asset” and “price is its ONLY information.”

Bitcoin at $30,000 isn’t twice as good of a deal as Bitcoin at $60,000. All that matters is price momentum.

My advice on crypto consists of two parts:

1) Crypto is for entertainment, not investment. Spend an amount you would comfortably take to a casino or shell out on scratch-off lottery tickets, not a percentage of your portfolio. Plenty of smart strategists have told me that they recommend X% crypto in client portfolios. It’s always a single-digit number that they can claim down the road was appropriately cautious or bullish, depending on what happens. Major asset classes that don’t deserve 10% of your money probably don’t deserve any of it.

2) Buy the trashiest, most volatile crypto coins you can find, and only when there’s recent, strongly positive price momentum. There is no such thing as a crypto blue chip. Meme coins are fine. It’s entertainment, remember. Bet small and have fun. But the group doesn’t look especially fun now.

Yes, crypto is for entertainment, not investment. It is not a serious financial topic, AT ALL, just a waste of time and money.

Are you going to put your Bitcoins in your faraday cage, so they still have value when the grid goes down?

I'm gonna use my supplies to light up a cigarette and all the people who aren't on UBI and CBDCs will want my BTC

Mr. Xenakis, I will be following your blogs.

...You just went full retard again. Mo liked the jews? Unreal. You know more than me about Islam? I'm losing respect minute by minute...

...I didn't think you could go further retard, but thanks for that...

...You don't even know the basic tenets of Islam, or the quran, or the doctrine of abrogation, or taqiyya...

...When it comes to world religions, you're a cultural marxist.
Sad shit. But feel free to keep embarrassing yourself...

...I don't listen to demons, or demonic inspired reasoning, thus - I don't and I won't.

Whew!

Quite a change from your first post on the forum to your last post to John today.

Your behavior seems very extreme. From extreme respect to extreme disrespect in short order.

What are you doing here?

A world war does seem due in the next 2-12 years.

Apparently my memory is much better than yours, even with respect to what you write.

Putin doesn't have to take the entire Ukraine to achieve his goals. He can start by officially seizing the areas where insurgents and Russian contractors are already fighting: Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Luhansk. They'd likely fall in a couple weeks, given that Ukraine has Soviet-era equipment while Russia itself has modernized.

A good place to stop would be the Dnieper River, controlling the eastern portion of Ukraine. While they could probably take the whole country, the initial fighting would cost them heavily, not taking into account years of insurgency. Plus, west of the Dnieper, there isn't much of a pro-Russian population. In the border provinces, having a Russian minority and a portion of the population that's pro-Russian makes taking Eastern Ukraine simpler.

With Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine taken, Putin will have accomplished his goals, setting up a puppet government in the economically valuable region of Ukraine. Belarus and the Baltic States aren't going to want to try anything, facing the possibility of Russian invasion.

And what would Europe do about it? In theory, heavy sanctions could crush the Russian government, but in practice, they have no willingness to do this. Germany's always refused to do anything and Europe as a whole doesn't wish to get involved, with the possibility of losing natural gas shipments. Most likely, it would be limited sanctions that might sting Russia a bit, but won't amount to much in the end.

As for not gaining anything from a war. . . what did we gain from Iraq and Afghanistan, apart from several thousand killed, tens of thousands wounded, and a few trillion more in debt? It didn't stop us from fighting for twenty years. Russia's death toll would be much higher than that, but they generally consider Ukraine to be part of their territory.

Yes, US/ZOG sanctions and Putin was like ... ummm, no nitrate fertilizers = ban hammer on those exports. Good luck.

LOL, that was very entertaining, which is the purpose of crypto. Reality is going in the opposite direction of your fantasy entertainment.
