This time feels... different
Just my opinion, but:
-Price held remarkably well for 2-3 months which is nothing like 2017
-Crypto is far more mainstream now than it was
-The ‘crash’ might not have even happened if it weren’t for the unlucky sequence of events the other day
-Tesla is still apparently holding their BTC. Elon made a decision to tweet about BTC in a positive light, so to me this says something. Perhaps Tesla will buy the dip to take advantage of the incredibly cheap price?
Anyway, just some thoughts. Even if this IS the crash, I doubt we’ll be seeing a long lasting crypto winter this time. Bitcoin has well and truly proven itself to the mainstream that it’s not going away.
Crypto Daily News from ZBG Exchange
1. Market Wrap: Capitulation City as Bitcoin Dumps to $31K, ETH to $2K Before Reversal
Liquidations, China and even Elon Musk may be factors in markets falling.
An unusual confluence of bearish fundamentals caused all cryptocurrencies to fall Wednesday, but traders seem to be scooping up cheaper crypto, sparking something of a rebound.
Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $39,461 as of 21:00 UTC (4 p.m. ET). Down 8.7% over the previous 24 hours.
Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $31,926-$43,602
Ether (ETH) trading around $2,609 as of 21:00 UTC (4 p.m. ET). Losing 23.1% over the previous 24 hours.
Ether’s 24-hour range: $2,089-$3,447
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was in the red Wednesday by 8.7% as of press time. BTC was above the 10-hour moving average and below the 50-day, a sideways signal for market technicians.
The total drop for bitcoin in the past 24 hours was 26.7%, going from a high of $43,602 around 21:15 UTC (5:15 p.m. ET) to as low as $31,926 around 13:15 UTC (9:15 a.m. ET). Bitcoin has recovered somewhat from that low, at $39,461 as of press time.
2. DeFi Liquidations Up 14-Fold in Broad Crypto Sell-Off
With $662 million in loans unwound over 24 hours, it’s the worst day for such liquidations since Feb. 22.
Borrowers on decentralized lending platforms are unwinding positions fast, most likely to avoid expensive liquidations as the global cryptocurrency market tumbles Wednesday.
According to decentralized finance (DeFi) wallet provider Debank, liquidations of collateral are up 14-fold during the most recent bad days on the lending market.
Over the last 24 hours, DeFi platforms have shaken off $662 million in loans, led by the Binance Smart Chain lending application Venus, Aave (versions 1 and 2) and Compound, Debank data shows.
A normal day has liquidations across DeFi products of $1 million to $5 million, according to Debank. On May 12, there were $39 million worth of liquidations.
When major cryptocurrencies lose a large amount of value on the spot market, it can cause many corresponding positions, such as bullish bets in the form of derivatives and loans, to unwind rapidly. That can prolong a sell-off and drive the pain deeper, if temporarily.

Highly financialized markets can accelerate downturns, noted Taylor Monahan, founder of wallet provider MyCrypto.
3. Time to Decide: Are You an Investor or a Gambler?
A crash isn’t a great time to decide why you invested in the first place. But it’s better late than never.
Is crypto over? Is this the end of the world? And most importantly — will I ever eat steak again?
With bitcoin down about 13% in the last 24 hours, and closer to 34% for the week, these are questions that a lot of people are asking themselves for the very first time. 2020 and 2021 saw a huge wave of new entrants into cryptocurrency, thanks first to sheer boredom, followed by the kind of get-rich-quick rubbernecking that turns everyone into a crypto expert every three years or so. To pick just one metric out of a hat, active Bitcoin wallet addresses have grown by roughly 35% since the start of the pandemic in March of last year.
It’s inevitable that a lot of these new entrants still have a limited understanding of the extremely nuanced technology behind true cryptocurrencies, or of the speculative and often head-spinning theories about how and why they will transform society. It’s not surprising or even particularly blameworthy. Whether we’re talking about crypto or stocks, most people just want to go to the beach, eat some ice cream, and occasionally FOMO into a hot asset they heard about on the internet.
That is, of course, a great way to stay poor. But new entrants to the 2020 crypto bull market have been indoctrinated in an even better approach to losing all your money: speculative day trading. I might not go so far as to call him Patient Zero, but Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy is certainly the most prominent and emblematic vector here. He started livestreaming his stock day trading early in the pandemic and then aped into crypto during the summer of 2020.
And I mean aped. Portnoy, to be fair, has been fairly self-aware about his dunderheaded crypto shenanigans, most recently declaring, “I have no idea how this works,” while putting $40,000 into alleged Ponzi scheme Safemoon on Tuesday. Now, 24 hours later, he’s down about $15k on that bet. Portnoy also sold all his bitcoin last August, at around $11,500, after holding it for a whole week. He then bought back bitcoin two weeks ago at $48,000.
4. When Will Bitcoin’s Taproot Upgrade ‘Lock In’?
With 94% of Bitcoin’s hashrate now signaling for the upgrade, it should lock in during the next difficulty period.
Taproot now has more than the required minimum of miners signaling support to lock in the upgrade, but the upgrade isn’t a shoe-in just yet.
Per the activation rules set by Speedy Trial, 90% of blocks mined within one of Bitcoin’s difficulty periods need to signal support for the upgrade for it to be locked in for activation in November.
Currently, mining pools that represent 94% of Bitcoin’s hashrate have now included the Taproot “signal bit” to show their support for the upgrade. But it won’t be until the next difficulty period that we could see the upgrade locked in because the current difficulty period has already seen too many non-signaling blocks for miners to hit the threshold.
A visualization of this period’s signaling percentage.(Taproot Watch)
Bitcoin’s next difficulty adjustment is in approximately nine days. This next adjustment will mark the third of six possible signaling periods under Taproot’s Speedy Trial activation process, which began on May 1.
Czechia-based Slushpool was the first mining pool to signal for the upgrade, followed by Foundry, F2Pool, Poolin and Antpool. Notably, mining pools have signaled, un-signaled and re-signaled for a variety of reasons so the signaling percentage can oscillate. Poolin’s signal, for example, dropped off in response to technical snafus while BTC.com’s recently changed its status from signaling to not signaling for unknown reasons.
What is Bitcoin’s Taproot upgrade?
Taproot is Bitcoin’s most anticipated upgrade since SegWit. The actual change, an alteration to two lines of code, is minimal, but Taproot will outfit Bitcoin with a new signature scheme known as Schnorr signatures.
These signatures pave the way for advanced transaction logic (what the cool kids call “smart contract”), which will make things like multisignature transactions cheaper and more data efficient (while also giving them a privacy boost by making them look the same as regular transactions on the blockchain).
In addition to multisignature wallets, the upgrade will be a boon for the Lightning Network and other Bitcoin technologies like discreet log contracts (DLC).
5. Bitcoin Price Plunge ‘Feels Like Capitulation,’ Says Galaxy’s Mike Novogratz
“These are certainly setbacks for the wallets and for the investor base,” the crypto investor told CNBC.
Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz told CNBC Wednesday that bitcoin’s morning price dip “felt like we had capitulation.”
His comments came as the price of BTC (-6.06%) tumbled below $40,000 for the first time since January.
“Capitulation” refers to the point in a market downturn when investors give up on recapturing lost gains and sell rather than hold a given asset.
The cryptocurrency investor told CNBC that “the crypto revolution has happened, but these are certainly setbacks for the wallets and for the investor base.” The original and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is now down by more than 30% in May alone, on track for its worst month since November 2018.
“The market will consolidate and find a bottom somewhere,” Novogratz predicted. “I’m hoping it’s close to here, $36,000 or maybe $38,000.”
Novogratz said there are several factors that have undermined bullish momentum recently, including the May 17 federal tax deadline in the U.S. and comments from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who expressed caution about bitcoin’s environmental impact and said the carmaker would stop accepting BTC payments for its cars (though Tesla did not sell any of its holdings).
“Now we’ve got a liquidation event,” Novogratz said.

Inside USPS's top secret social media spy program - The Yodel Daily from Yahoo (05/19/2021)
WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 2021 / Finely crafted by Lily Herman
Hi, hello, and welcome to hump day! As always, the world is very Stressy McMessy, so let’s break it down. On the docket: We’ve got some real sketch vibes coming from the U.S. Postal Service, a particularly unappetizing chalupa and empty Pringles cans coming to the rescue.
News To Know
- The New York Attorney General’s office laid down the law (literally) and said that it’s now investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, not solely a civil one. Gauntlet, consider yourself thrown down.
- Feel like you completely forgot how to drive a car in the pandemic? You’re definitely not alone, so I guess that’s reassuring even though the roads are a tad chaotic right now?
- Remember when news broke that the U.S. Postal Service has some sort of top secret social media spy program? Soooooo, it turns out that it’s way bigger and broader than we first thought. Is anyone gonna, like, do something about this?
Finance For You
- Twenty-one states so far have opted out of continuing pandemic-era unemployment programs next month, getting rid of benefits for roughly 3.6 million workers. Many programs were set to expire in September anyway, but it’s a blow nonetheless.
- Having a bad week? Just know that cryptocurrency is having a worse one. Everybody’s numbers are tumbling, but Bitcoin fell below $40,000 for the first time in a while. In other words, things are looking Not Good right now.
- Target smashed its original Q1 estimates, which it says is due in large part to people spending their stimmies and feeling positive now that folks are getting vaccinated. I look forward to the day when I can go into Target again to buy exactly one item and leave with 87 others things I never wanted or needed. That’s the future I strive for.
Sports. Sports. Sports.
- The 6,000-member Tokyo Medical Practitioners’ Association is urging Olympics organizers to cancel the Games later this summer over pandemic-related health concerns. A significant portion of Japan is currently in a state of emergency following a fourth COVID-19 wave, and only two percent of residents are vaccinated. Sounds dire.
- Tom Brady must’ve gotten bored tossing the Lombardi Trophy off of boats and staring at his seven Super Bowl rings, because he just signed onto an unscripted series with Fox. As for what it’s about, we’ve got no clue.
- After previously deciding to cut 11 sports from its roster, Stanford reversed its position and said that it won’t get rid of anything for the time being. It was apparently thanks in part to a lot of alumni rallying as well as two lawsuits suing the school over the decision. Funny how that works.
Culture Corner
- A woman alleged that she found a cigarette in her Taco Bell chalupa earlier this month, and if that wasn’t bad enough, she also described it as “slightly moist.” Everybody say goodbye to my appetite for the rest of this year.
- Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck aren’t the only people feeling nostalgic right now. TikTok users are hyping up what they call the ~dreamcore~ aesthetic, which focuses on mems from the past, especially the 2000s. I don’t need to relive the aughts, but do you?
- We all have “how did I end up here?” moments at our jobs, including this UPS driver who had to explain to an irate customer that no, he couldn’t just call up Jeff Bezos to discuss a couch return. Siiiiigh.
Tech Talk
- Google’s I/O event happened yesterday, and they basically announced a lot of fun stuff. I can’t even figure out what to focus on because they discussed approximately 4,573 things, so you can read the whole recap to find out.
- Amazon extended its one-year ban on police use of its facial recognition software indefinitely. The company didn’t give a specific reason, but considering that similar programs are facing a lot of legal and public scrutiny, it’s not necessarily a surprise.
- Just a cool lil’ tidbit coming from Spotify: Soon it’ll automatically transcribe podcasts. Love an accessibility moment, y’all!
Entertainment Spotlight
- Actor Charles Grodin, best known for his work in ‘Heaven Can Wait,’ ‘The Heartbreak Kid,’ ‘Midnight Run,’ and the ‘Beethoven’ movies, passed away at the age of 86 from bone marrow cancer. He was also an author and a criminal justice reform advocate.
- This week marks 20 years since the release of kids movie classic ‘Shrek.' However, it could’ve turned out very differently from the film we all know. Actor and comedian Chris Farley originally voiced the eponymous ogre but passed away during recording, which led to Mike Myers taking the helm and tweaking the character’s personality.
- As if you didn’t already have enough to watch, Hulu is releasing a six-part Paul McCartney docuseries on July 16. Time to add it to your never-ending queue.
Fantastic Finish
Like every single one of you, I too wondered if there was a way for an empty Pringles can to cut a watermelon, so thank goodness somebody tried out this internet hack on our behalf. There you have it: One less mystery in the universe.
Thanks for reading today's issue of The Yodel.
The bitcoin (and therefore our favorite stock) bull run is not over.
This post will largely be about bitcoin, since I have already previously posted about the great outlook of RIOTs fundamentals and that has not changed. They posted good earnings at the earnings call so the only remaining variable is what will bitcoin do. Today's flash crash brought bitcoin all the way down to as low as 30k (a whopping 54% correction from the ATH). This has been by far the largest correction of this cycle and has a lot of people/media outlets screaming bitcoin dead. For a bit of humor before we get started, here is a link that outlines all of the hundreds of times bitcoin has been declared dead, the first one beginning when bitcoin was $0.23 per coin.
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/
So the first thing I hear is that bitcoin dropping over 50% means the end of the run and that's that. Too much of a drop to recover from. Lets look at the bitcoin corrections over the years.
Would you look at that, we had a 57% drop in only 3 days post 2012 halvening, another one at an insane 83% in also 3 days, then one more for 50% in a single day. None of those corrections stopped the bull cycle. For comparison, the 54% correction we've had took an entire month to play out and is about equal to (or in the case of the 83%) much smaller than those. Bitcoin has been more resilient this cycle overall as well so there's no reason to believe this automatically signals the end.
Lets look at another comparison between the cycles.
This correction looks eerily similar to the correction at the same time in the halvening cycle as the 2017 run. That one happened from mid June to mid July over 35 days while ours took from mid April to mid May and 36 days to play out. One other thing to note: 2020 halvening event took place 2 months earlier than the 2016 halvening event, so at points in time from halvening event these corrections happened within only a few days of eachother. One thing to note, the X axis of this graph is days since the previous bull runs ATH was reclaimed, not since the halvening event started. We got a new ATH relatively early into this cycle so the graph starts a bit earlier for this cycle too, which is why we see the gap there.
Now this is great and all but the past doesn't necessarily reflect the future. What does the on chain data have to say. One of the best indicators we have seen thus far of plans to Buy/HODL vs plans to sell has been whether or not bitcoin has been flowing in or out of major exchanges. Usually when it's flowing in it's because people are planning to sell for Fiat currencies. When it's flowing out, people are stashing their bitcoin for the long haul.
Well looks like leading up to the big drops in both April and May we see bitcoin outflow bottom out. People were transferring bitcoins in to prepare to sell off. After the flash crash this morning we see the line go nearly vertical. It has now also set a new high for outflow volume, the last time this happened was on 01Feb which we all know was right before a huge leg up. This is blockchain data showing that bitcoin is being stored for the long haul in droves.
Based on this data, my prediction (take it for what it's worth which is not much) is that BTC will consolidate around the 35-38k range for a little bit before starting an uptrend that leads to a large leg upward. When this happens, I think we will also see RIOT slingshot into the $80-$100 range if bitcoin sets a new ATH.
TLDR: Bitcoin bull run is not over, on chain data shows bitcoin moving out of exchanges to be held in storage (historically a big bullish flag). RIOT will moon if bitcoin uptrends into a new leg up for a new ATH.
Germany taxation on Tokens
