First shot bullseye! Thanks to all! [Winner’s Thread #36]

Thanks to everyone! Honestly I just stumbled onto this and thought I'd put my name in the hat. This was completely out of left field and I am stunned. I recently exited my relationship of the past two years so this was a nice lift me up!

I am in my 30's and these funds will go towards building my emergency fund for when things hit the fan which seems more and more likely to come in the next year or two. I graduated in 2008 and started my career in the recession and learned the hard way on how important it is to have some rounds in the chamber. My car got totalled when I hit a deer on halloween night and I just picked up a cheapo lien car from the tow yard so I need some reserves to cover what breaks next haha.

I also want a portion of the funds to go back into my community. I will tally the votes and will make a donation in the amount of 25% of the funds received to the cause with the top choice. Public trails or homeless resources or the local humane society. Please vote on the following poll: (https://goo.gl/forms/Qi2fqwpwVCG2eGL83)

Hey guys!

I joined 2017 Dec 12th! I feel your pain, but I am not worried 1 bit. Don't let the current events kill your passion, crypto is going to be huge!

Do some relaxing things, exercise see your friends & family that you no longer talk to because you only speak about crypto, no need to talk about it, until you explain how bad it is the market might recover (just kidding, but focusing on the big picture will ease your pain).

Crypto is here to stay, it brings tremendous value in many areas in our life, never beford possible until now!

Switzerland begins trading the first crypto ETF *HODL - 5 Crypto's on the world's 14th and Europe's 4th largest Swiss exchange "SIX"!

This is HUGE!

Will contribute to the USA moving their butts and giving us that CBOE ETF!

BAKKT will be launched 24th of January!

How I see this situation AS A BELIEVER IN CRYPTO!

Already lost some money, you're already in pain, you're already hurt, GET A REWARD FROM IT!!!

If you can live ok without the money you invested in crypto (for the short-term) simple HODL, this is the 4th cycle Bitcoin goes through, THIS IS NORMAL FOR CRYPTO.

Or you can dollar cost average at these levels like I am planning on doing.

Do research ignore the prices, invest in active projects and serious teams with great visions that solve complex problems!

Good luck out there and playing some games with friends a beer and a j... Save lives!

Harnessing The Energy of Wasted Gas for Bitcoin Mining Meetup in Edmonton, Alberta & Bitcoin Hack Day

Wednesday at 6:30pm, the Edmonton Bitcoin Meetup will be hosting Steve Barbour of Upstream Data coming in from Lloydminster to talk about utilizing flared (i.e otherwise wasted) natural gas for mining. It is a unique situation where consumption of energy can be moved to the source, which allows tapping into sources of energy that aren't connected to the energy grid to provide security for the network:

https://www.meetup.com/yegbitcoin/events/256192660/

Steve was also recently on the Stephan Livera podcast, which is a great listen if you are into this kind of topic: https://stephanlivera.com/2018/10/20/slp27-turning-stranded-natural-gas-into-bitcoin-mining-hashes-with-steve-barbour-of-upstream-data/

On Saturday from 9am-5pm, we are also hosting a Bitcoin Hack Day to get people together to build stuff and explore project ideas. A casual, non-competitive event where the goal is to simply get productive on something you are interested in.

Do you think regular people will use XRP for international money transfer? Or will it just be for banks?

This post that recommends both Bitcoin and Litecoin above XRP for consumers who want to make international payments: https://www.keysheet.io/guides/best-coin-for-international-money-transfer/

Ripple is really focused around building a use-case for banks around XRP for cross-border payments and settlement. But will consumers ever actually use it for sending money across borders? curious what the community thinks!

[uncensored-r/Bitcoin] Proof of Work Newsletter on BCH fork drama

The following post by LORD_HODLEMORT is being replicated because the post has been silently removed.

The original post can be found(in censored form) at this link:

np.reddit.com/r/ Bitcoin/comments/9yu66p

The original post's content was as follows:


"The Bitcoin Cash fork drama has also been interesting. One objection I’ve heard from non-crypto people to the idea that Bitcoin is truly 0-inflation eventually is that forks themselves should be thought of as inflating the Bitcoin supply. However, Bitcoin Cash is certainly the most credible Bitcoin fork, but within a single year it’s gone from being thought of by some as a credible competitor to having its own forking event which seems likely to be very value-destructive for it. Bitcoin Cash itself was able to be a schelling point for people who wanted to try big blocks in Bitcoin, but it’s unclear what kind of consensus people who support B-ABC vs B-SV would come to. My prediction is that the ultimate destiny of most forks is to be worth nothing, and for that fact to cause a decrease in the number of forks as would-be forkers realize there’s little to nothing in it for them."


BAKKT on track with minor update, complete launch incoming on Jan 24th, CEO announced in a great medium post!

Hey guys!

I joined 2017 Dec 12th! I feel your pain, but I am not worried 1 bit. Don't let the current events kill your passion, crypto is going to be huge!

Do some relaxing things, exercise see your friends & family that you no longer talk to because you only speak about crypto, no need to talk about it, until you explain how bad it is the market might recover (just kidding, but focusing on the big picture will ease your pain).

Crypto is here to stay, it brings tremendous value in many areas in our life, never beford possible until now!

Switzerland begin trading the first crypto ETF *HODL - 5 Crypto's on the world's 14th and Europe's 4th largest Swiss exchange "SIX"!

This is HUGE!

Will contribute to the USA moving their butts and giving us that CBOE ETF!

BAKKT will be launched 24th of January!

How I see this situation AS A BELIEVER IN CRYPTO!

Already lost some money, you're already in pain, you're already hurt, GET A REWARD FROM IT!!!

If you can live ok without the money you invested in crypto (for the short-term) simple HODL, this is the 4th cycle Bitcoin goes through, THIS IS NORMAL FOR CRYPTO.

Or you can dollar cost average at these levels like I am planning on doing.

Do research ignore the prices, invest in active projects and serious teams with great visions that solve complex problems!

Good luck out there and playing some games with friends a beer and a j... Save lives!


Just a few words in a time of disarray.

Markets are driven by rationale on the long term and psychology on the short term. This is why it's always smart to do your research when the market is not volatile because the psychology can cloud your judgement and mislead you to do something you will regret. This way you would be making your decisions beforehand using your rational thinking and research, rather than in the flurry of emotions when there's an uproar and stress and chaos everywhere.

Buy low, sell high. This saying is so easy to make fun of but so difficult for people to sincerely appreciate and live by. This saying is literal. It literally means buy when the market is crashing, and sell when the market is in euphoria. Of course you would have to do your research beforehand and you would only buy the markets that you understand and believe in; you can't just go out there and buy every single stock that is crashing right now.

One of the things that I have noticed among investors, myself included, is that we just feel very disappointed and resentful when the market crashes - even though we believe in our investments and that it'll do better in the future. From my introspection, I have found that it's because we think someone is getting bitcoins for way cheaper than I think its fair while I failed to sell when the price is high and I could potentially have had so much more. This type of thinking, however, is flawed. Not a whole lot of bitcoin can be accumulated while maintaining the price this low. Any significant amount of accumulation will cause the market to rise; and it'll rise very rapidly given how (relatively) thin volumes is in the Bitcoin realm. So, there is no injustice. No-one will be able to accumulate vast amounts of bitcoin for cheap.

Then there's another type of people, people who are considering selling because they want out with whatever profit/loss they have accrued. I implore you to ask yourself one question, "Who do you think will buy the Bitcoins you sell?". Think about that buyer, is he/she a sucker? Or are they smart and wise to garner as many bitcoins as possible when it's low? Just try to think about what is going into someone's head that is buying your bitcoins while you sell. Ignore your thoughts, and focus on their thoughts instead. This gives you perspective, and a very important one at that.

A market with fundamental value never crashes to nothingness. It just can't. It has value by definition. All the brilliant ideas that constitutes this project, all the hard work by some of the most brilliant people in this field that has gone in to build something tangible, all the passion that so many people have towards this project, all the software and hardware infrastructure that is built around this project; they have value. This project is incredibly valuable and it's value doesn't go away just because a few newcomers can buy 600 bitcoins at the rate of $4000 each, or $3000, or may be even $1000. These are transient events, and an astute investor should be able to rise above this and look at the big picture.

If you didn't believe in this project, you should've done your research before buying in. If you bought in doing all the research and implications of this project, I fail to understand why you would even consider selling. Investing is not easy; nothing significant in life is easy.

"Capitulation": Nomura Explains What Is Behind The Market's "Freak Out"

On Monday morning, when the market's moves were still relatively orderly, Nomura's Charlie McElligott made a prescient observation why momentum stocks were getting slaughtered, and why the "_value to growth"_rotation was about to leave hedge funds with even greater losses.

To those who listened and unwound, congrats, because on Tuesday, with the Dow down almost 600 points at its lows, McElligott writes that the cross-asset markets de-risking continues, which somewhat surprisingly is occurring in conjunction with a collapse in market expectations for 2019 Fed implied hikes, down to just 31.5bps.

This is a clear shift in market sentiment, because even as the market prices in a dovish Fed, stocks are getting crushed.

This "Best is Behind Us” / “Fed has tightened us into a slowdown” view is entrenching itself alongside the weekend escalation of Trade War Cold War between China and US, which is clearly now bleeding into the supply-chain and broad sentiment, the Nomura strategist writes today and notes that signs of capitulation are visible across the asset spectrum, as "VaR-down" behavior becomes apparent via new local- and multi-year lows/wides being made, with the credit blow out accelerating and HYG down for 8 days in a row (the record is 9).

_**VaR-down with liquidation of "longs" and 100-500bps of outperformance from shorts:

_Meanwhile, contrary to what JPM suggested recently when it saw no further selling pressures in the quant space, yesterday’s US Equities Momentum factor unwind (with the market-neutral strategy -3.5% on session) **was a 1st %ile event dating back to 1983, with the selloff of “Momentum Longs” (-4.5%) in particular was a 0%ile move, i.e., extremely rare.

What happened was that as hedge fund liquidations continue, whether due to redemption requests or otherwise, uber-crowded longs in the US Software industry were being liquidated according to McElligott, with GS basket of Software Cos trading 8x’s EV / Sales -10.0% on the day, an impossible -8.7SD move across all returns in its 2.5 yr history; Elsewhere, S&P Tech was -3.8%, Russell 2k Tech -4.6%; Finally, the Nomura strategist notes, or rather warns, that Nasdaq 100 30d volatility sits at 35, the highest level since late 2011, which just means more mechanical “VaR-down” is coming for these “longs”.

Going back to today's market, here are some additional observations from McElligott: 

  • Overnight we see US 10Y yields break their post-Labor Day range though 3.05% to the downside, while I also note that front Eurodollar too break to the upside through both 50- and 100- DMA’s over the past week, and are nearing a break of the 200- DMA for the first time in 13 months
  • Global Credit selloff becoming particularly acute as the “cycle psyche” turns, with US IG CDX back through pre-2016 election levels and EU HY (iTraxx Crossover) making new 2 year wides / EU SubFin 1.5 year wides
  • EU periphery sovies getting ugly again, in particular the BTP-Bund spread out to 327bps, the widest in 5.5 years
  • US inflation Breakevens show both 5Y- and 10Y- kind making now YTD lows
  • Cryptocurrency selloff moves to unprecedented levels with Bitcoin -30% MTD / Ethereum -33% MTD / Litecoin -35% MTD respectively, and greater than $700B+ of market value destroyed since the “mania” peaked in January, as the chief proxy of “QE-era speculative excess” is defenestrated into an existential crisis

So what is the root cause behind this seemingly relentless market freakout?

To McElligott, the answer is the theme where “tighter financial conditions” bleed across and reset (lower) risk-asset term premium—is picking-up steam, ESPECIALLY now that the Fed’s pivot to a “softer tone” perversely acts to “confirm” the market’s multi-month “tightening ourselves into a slowdown” worst fears.

Here, after markets were spooked by Powell's Octoebr 3 line that policy is "a long way from neutral", over the past week, multiple Fed speakers seemingly attempted to “walk-back” the hawkishness of that comment with a more moderate data-dependent tone, with Powell himself acknowledging last week that the Fed is “…well aware of” the three key challenges to growth in 2019—fading fiscal stimulus, slowing demand abroad and the lagged-impact of the prior policy normalization.

Two days later, the "tantrum-ing" market then further seized on Vice Chair Clarida’s Friday commentary where he “moved the goalposts” of Powell’s October “…long way from neutral” statement, instead saying “…I think being at neutral would make sense”—which to McElligott was "effectively a RATE CUT with regards to prior forward expectations" as we discussed yesterday.

But instead of being a “dovish relief story,” it instead did the opposite in the minds of investors who are seemingly committed to pulling-forward the “end of the cycle” trade.

Meanwhile, as tighter financial conditions / higher interest rates eventually slow the real economy (see yday’s NAHB sentiment collapse / “miss”), Charlie's thesis continues to expect timing of said slowdown coming after the March 2019 hike, "at which point I believed the market would “sniff” said slowdown and thus REMOVE HIKES from the front-end as the Fed would be forced to “pause”—in turn, steepening the curve."

Instead, some in the market are pulling-forward this “end of cycle” view into the NOW, which is being exacerbated by already ugly performance and year-end illiquidity / dealer balance sheet “tightness” leading to capitulatory behavior—with the concurrent volatility in-turn is nuking legacy QE-era “curve flattening” derivative trades, i.e. the consensual U.S. Equities “Growth over Value” positioning

And, as the Nomura strategist has said before, this Trasury curve _bull steepening_would act as the ultimate “end of cycle” risk-off signal, telling traders that we were at the end of Fed policy normalization—because growth trajectory is decelerating, fiscal stimulus impacts are rapidly diminishing, financial conditions are net / net “tighter” and that policy has approached the level where it is no-longer “stimulative”

Which brings us to McElligott's conclsion, in which he notes that "in the sense that I still believe that in this current state the Fed will hike two more times (Dec18 and Mar19) before the “gig is up,” I am surprised that the market is taking this current (and still somewhat modest Fed language shift reversal) as THE “Fed pause / slowdown” cue; but regardless of the timing-scenarios, the risk now is that the market de-risking only FURTHER acts to tighten financial conditions (especially in Credit) while bleeding sentiment further in a vicious cycle."

Finally, adding insult to injury is the mega Fed balance-sheet shrinkage tomorrow, when $27.1BN of combined Treasuries and MBS- mature, acting to further “tighten” financial conditions.


And, as a bonus, for any funds still desperate to position themselves, here is McElligott's take on how to position in Growth vs Value during this turbulent period:

Growth LONGS are “expensive stuff” that gets CRUSHED at the end of cycles because they will see the largest cuts in forward EPS—and we’re seeing said “revisions lower” within “Growth LONGS” in real-time

Only later then does “Value” get the additional kicker from “Value LONGS,” as after we hit slowdown / recession, the market begins to price-in the next Fed EASING cycle, and these primarily “economically sensitive” stocks see the highest re-weighting / benefit to the rate cuts through their cyclicality

This is not going to be a “linear” path; there are periods where both Growth- and Value- can work—however, I believe that relatively speaking, Value continues to outperform over the next 1Y window, continuing its enormous outperformance QTD:

  • Value:Dividend Yield +11.5% QTD; EBITDA / EV +11.0% QTD; Predicted E/P +7.8% QTD; E/P +7.8% QTD; Dividend Payout +6.5% QTD; B/P +5.6% QTD; Sales / Price +5.6% QTD; Cash Flow / EV +3.1% QTD
  • Growth:Predicted 1Y EPS Growth -9.8% QTD; Predicted LTG -8.4% QTD; Sales Growth -5.1% QTD; 5Y EPS Growth -2.4% QTD; PEG -2.2% QTD

THE PURGE—“MOMENTUM” CAPITULATION AS “GROWTH LONGS” SEE LIQUIDATION BEHAVIOR TO THE BENEFIT OF “VALUE” FACTOR MARKET-NEUTRAL: Look at the contrast in the Q1 “peak QE-era” to the current QTD “peak QT-era…

Market analytics from club experts for November 12–18, 2018

The typical week with the standard forecasts has suddenly witnessed a massive drop in the price of BTC, accompanied by a clear flight of capital from the crypto market. This time, we didn’t observe the usual dump of the first half of the week with the subsequent return to the original value.
The total capitalization of the crypto market at the beginning of the week — $211 billion — dropped to $180 billion by Thursday, with a slight correction after falling on Sunday — $186 billion. The trading volume remained $12.5–13 billion for the entire week, reaching $24–25 billion during the fall.

The BTC dominance also increased from 53% to 58% and bounced back to 53% only by the end of the week. The price per 1 BTC gradually decreased from $6,413 to $6,300, and then fell to $5,600 within one day.
The price remained the same for the rest of the week, amounting to the same $5600 at the end of the week. At the beginning of the week, the lively trade in altcoins gave way to the worries concerning the price of BTC and, accordingly, the behavior of altcoins. And right away, some people pulled out the old forecasts, promising a fall to $4,000, $3,000, and even to $1,300, which were earlier pushed aside as they were deemed irrelevant. Some people quickly changed their forecasts for the price by the end of the year, suddenly realizing the inconsistency of the market.
There is a strong opinion that the undercover games of the creators of the BCH fork, who are waging a war for survival, have played a huge role in this price drop.
However, a number of well-known traders and analysts, whose authority is based on their consistency and competence, continue to insist that the current “bottom” is just another reason to add BTC to your portfolio. And they have a point!
No matter how persistent the chat rooms and media are in stirring up FUD and panic, cryptocurrency is already winning its share in the economy. We observe more real use cases of this technology, real implementation of cryptocurrency for its intended purpose, as well as more interest and direct participation of large companies. All the investors need to do is wait, or better yet, take advantage of the situation! Otherwise, they would have to catch up, and this is not the best solution!
