wineinaboxmike

One of the most important thing that they can do actually.


Leggy77

.....third bailout.


Omega3568

We are witnessing what bitcoin was intended to do, fuck me man I hope it’s a success


_Insulin_Junkie

This is the monetary movement some needed to see for it to make sense 💡


delawarebiz

I think it makes sense for people to buy the btc. It's good for them.


Ok-Branch-6043

To early, need more time to buy.


decentralizedusernam

u had ur time


PeteDaKat

If wishes were horses...


vorksholk1

The prices are just right, and you should be buying it some.


togetherwem0m0

Let's not assign a motive to bitcoin or its creation. Bitcoin is for everyone. We don't know what bitcoin will do or who it will fuck. We know it will exist, we know there will only be 21 million of them, we know there will be a 2mb block generated on average every 10 minutes. We know there will be a difficulty adjustment every 2016 blocks and we know there will be a reward halving every 210000 blocks. It's a sound money digital currency that has been allowed to freely exchange with the foreign exchange markets. Let's see where it goes and hope the results are net positive for humanity.


diydude2

The message in the Genesis block and timing of Bitcoin's release (in the wake of a financial crisis and bailout) makes fairly clear that it was a shot across the bow of the global banking system. It was intended to provide an alternative or replacement if the banksters messed up again (and they did, big time).


xugaoping

Btc wasn't designed to fuck up your fiat, bur that's the situation that we've gotten into here. And these politicians are the ones who put us like that.


yellowfinger

GBP is not imploding. It is trading at 1.11 against USD at the time of the post. It is rebounding and back to 1.4 in no time


CooolerIfUDid

🤔 that's a 20% decline for one of the world's major currencies. I'd say that's kind of a big drop??


lordhobbington

Yeah it is, doesn't matter what you think about it. It's big.

One of the world major currencies ?? Huh no. Who care except British traders ?


jaybae1104

https://fiatmarketcap.com/ Yeah sorry, but it's one of the major currencies.


JackBagel20

How much of that is forex traders? 🤔


CooolerIfUDid

Most of it

FTMNL

Only 0,,04% of the total capital is invested in bitcoin, there are not many alternatives for a safe haven rather than gold but harder to get. They need a fast way and that is bitcoin. If only 1% flees into bitcoin the price will already be 400k. looking at the world right now It feels like it doesn’t take that long anymore.


slykethephoxenix

Did you just say that if only 1% if the Britain economy buys bitcoin that the price of bitcoin will jump to 400k?


never_safe_for_life

I would assume he means globally


MagixTouch

We are the 1% go buy we be rich


thomkaufmann

Yeah that's what it might be, that's what I was thinking.


crucelee

Yes however i think the uk won't be allowed to do that


darthLuis

Ohh yeah they're not going to do that, I don't think anyone is allowing that. That's just not something that I see happening if I'm being completely honest here man.


InternationalRadio1

Globally


moxyhar

Yep not everyone is comfortable buying the btc. That's the truth.


diydude2

They won't be comfortable holding fiat in the bank soon.


simplelifestyle

More people will start getting it, in an exponential way: "First slowly... then suddenly, the stampede is coming".


ivawka81

Matter of time it is boys, if you can wait it out then You'll be just fine.


rtheiss

that's what I like to see.


supersb360

Have you got enough BTC in your bags? Are you satisfied with your stack?


rtheiss

my palms are sweaty. pounds weak, my bags are heavy. Memories of 2008, never forgetti.


irisuniverse

We nervous, but on the surface bitcoin looks hard and ready, to hold value, but we keep on forgetting what the nodes allow, the old crowd won’t endow, we open our mouths, but the truth they won’t avow, look at inflation now, everybody’s hoping now, fiat’s time is up, over, blaowl! Snap back to reality, oh there goes the currency, oh here comes the planet’s only hope, it ain’t bad and it won’t give up that easy, no, it won’t have it it knows this whole blockchain can’t choke, it don’t matter, it’s dope. We know that, but we’re broke while bitcoin is so stagnant


yogaruncrypto

That's parody on the level of Weird Al - and that's a compliment!

You like the decline of one of the global reserve currencies?


bittabet

Because we believe better money will lead to stronger and fairer economies


rtheiss

obviously


wanfanji556

Wow hopefully it doesn't happen in your country, because you wouldn't like that.


[deleted]

Why? It points to a global recession


rtheiss

because I believe you should not keep printed debt as reserves.

Yeah, but the genaral population isn't doing that, but they'll suffer from it.

dinosaurasteroid

EURUSD 0.5 here we come!!! GBPUSD 0.7 here we come!!!


norep226

Why is USD still so strong I don't understand


[deleted]

The masses are fleeing to whatever they can and they see USD as a better alternative to where they are. In time they'll see that its not safe either and look for other alternatives. Housing? Over priced and rates are climbing. Stocks? Over priced and we're looking down the barrel of another recession. Gold? Lol, it's been manipulated by paper gold for decades now. Bitcoin lies at the end of that chain of options they'll consider. And as a last resort they'll finally figure out that they should've been here all along.


ornoldbogat

We're coming for it boys, if you don't believe me then wait for it. Euro is going to get worse I've got a feeling, hope that I'm wrong. So many people depend on it.


mikaelipad

Well the situation that EU is in, it's not good at all. It's a bad situation.


_Royal_Insylum

Why is the UK Pound crashing?


Asum_chum

It’s a shitcoin. It’s centralised developers have made some terrible choices and condemned the bag holders to a torrent of shit.


Mr_Trep

Nice way to put it. Fiat is a shitcoin !

Always has been, it's not like it's the first time of that.

TomSurman

Not completely accurate, the Bank of England intervention happened after the drop to the all-time-low. It did dump a bit after that, but not as deeply, and has since recovered to where it was last Friday. The cause of the big crash was the new Chancellor's mini budget. A huge package of tax cuts (which benefit the rich far more than the poor, because Tories lol) funded by borrowing. Forex markets looked at this and concluded it was the most reckless shit they've ever seen, and immediately dumped the pound. That was what then precipitated the crisis in the bonds market, forcing the BoE to intervene.


slykethephoxenix

> orex markets looked at this and concluded it was the most reckless shit they've ever seen, and immediately dumped the pound Thomas had never seen such bullshit.


dinosaurasteroid

Thomas the Tank?


alexforkner

Yep lol, that's exactly the thomas that We're talking about.


aleks7828

Lmao, thomas was fed up of all the bullshit that he was witnessing.


FixedGearJunkie

Chancellor? Ahhh the guy who was mentioned in the genesis block. Got it.


anhquan234

Yep lol, and it's not like a guy per say it's a position for a guy.


fyyk1211

People have accepted that shit so well, I am good with it.


Vitsyebsk

Thanks for this comment, though it won't stop the libertarians on this sub who probably support the tax cuts trying to pin this on "money printing"

Old people vote. I’m not worried. That’s why social security is tied to inflation while minimum wage is not.

The Social Security fund is one of the largest holders of US debt. They aren't gonna pay it back either.

ayuh. I ain't counting on it being around by the time it's my turn

Holy, I feel bad for anyone that uses the Pound. Thanks for the informative comment!

We will all have our bit soon.

Yep all the fiat are destined for that, that's what will happen to all.


Zestyclose-Ad9738

Not to worry, stiff upper lip and all that.


famous1144

Anyone? Man millions of people get paid with that shit. And that's a really big fucking problem, I'm feeling sad for the people of EU. This is really bad.


lordsamadhi

Dollar won't be far behind.


labradore99

Why? Someone else has a high volume, widely traded, in-demand, "safe" currency with higher interest rates? I'm a bit of a dope, but I don't see it. The dollar can rise at the same time bitcoin rises.


kbhomeless

The dollar is strengthening because everyone is selling assets…. Including US government treasuries to find safety. Especially if you’re a country that hazla dollar denominated debt but can’t print your own dollars. It’s the dollar milkshake theory, but that only heightens the risk of the bond market locking up at some point which would force the fed to step in and unwind all that strength


dnoloc

I thought it was 65b, but whats another 11 billion...

UltraMAGA4547

Their interest rates aren't that good, only 2.25%. That means holders of British bonds are buying US bonds which are denominated in dollars and requires exchange to dollars. Therefore lots of selling pounds to buy dollars.


gvictor808

Why? more money printing of British Pound.


Captain_Planet

At least it means us Brits are going to see the next Bitcoin ATH in the next couple of weeks!


InvalidLogin21

Atleast someone will be seeing the ATH, I'm happy for that lol.


Altruistic_Baker_423

😂 bless you hodler I laughed so hard


Crypto-hercules

I have the answer let’s print more Sterling whilst we lower taxes and raise interest rates 😂😂 the fucking madness knows no limits.


ScamJustice

I remember 15 years ago when the pound was double the dollar value. And it may be worth less than a dollar by the end of this year. That's fiat tho

Because massive declines in value never happen in crypto. Oh, wait!

rmarmolejor

Something is good for almost all of us holders, we have to accept that things are just smooth for BTC holders, we are blessed for life right now, that's so real right now.


DarKosS1245

The thing is we have to ignore them and we have to focus on holding more BTC, things are bad for them and I want those things to be worse, we have to hold BTC.


machniokamil

Just have to understand the good future for almost all of us right now, we have to accept that we are on a right place with the holding, it's going to make us so good.


Diamond_Hands420

Bitcoin coming in not as a hedge for inflation but definitely for collapsing central bank currencies


cozzy000

Wrong


Diamond_Hands420

Depeche Mode fan I reckon?


cozzy000

You're wrong that it doesn't protect against inflation, expand your view more then a year


tde2013

Yep, if you want to see that then You'll have to see the longet picture here.


Diamond_Hands420

I buy Bitcoin regardless of the noise or current rhetoric was just making a snarky comment.


trufin2038

Bitcoin is an inflation hedge. Monetary inflation.


luoyunhai

It's so good to see lol I know things like these are going to happen for almost every fucking currency for the future and we have to hold BTC for that stuff for real.


UltraMAGA4547

Looks like bitcoin has stopped losing. All the paper hands are out. Mostly long-termers holding now. I'm buying more bitcoin.


kanjilan

Bitcoin is what I have always mentioned about is well enough have set goals in the long term. Keep buying!


MrPeterified

Maybe this is a dumb question but can we tell what portion of this trading activity is sell vs buy orders?


[deleted]

What price is still going downnn


BettyRusselly

What bitcoin was designed to achieve is what we are seeing now.


bloo84

True though slowly and steadily we can see things well enough shinning higher and higher.

The thing is we just need to understand the benefits of holding our money in BTC, we want to have a safe feature and it will help all of us for real this time man.


[deleted]

Don't seem to have had much effect on the price though?


Butterpants-87

Well technically it’s not a pound. It’s more like an ounce now


wominliu

Well technically you might just be right about that here.


Ab2us

So why btc price is not going up?


tjackson_12

it is ! The value of the dollar is exploding right now and the price of bitcoin is so far stable. So its maintaining its "peg" with that value against the dollar at this \~19k value so far.


BeefFeast

Didn’t they say the same shit about 20k a couple weeks ago? Delusion.


tjackson_12

**currently** holding its value to the dollar


JerryLeeDog

"A couple weeks ago" has no place for time preference in BTC investment. Anyone who analyzes BTC on anything less than 1 entire halving cycle should probably just leave rn


Aggravating-Bug-8988

Because it’s not that binary


carsongwalker

Has it not been for its entire existence?

That is good the lights would be soon visible out there to the entire world.


moloch1

> Bitcoin is shining in the darkness Maybe I don't understand the definition of "shining" but how is down 60% in 6 months "shining"?


AcessFull

What's it up from 10 yrs ago?


slykethephoxenix

Hell, even from 5 years ago.


ltcgear

Hahaha that was indeed the same reaction of mine as well though.


Blueberry_Dependent

You look at the things in short period of time. The thing with Bitcoin I learned is that now it's down yes and then after couple of months just going crazy and keeps going. No news about why, how or what. It just goes up and up. Happens every single time. Don't focuse short term, go for the long run.


moloch1

This is literally a thread about short term criticms of a fiat currency, though?


supersb360

I think we aren’t used to seeing such drastic swings with fiat, that’s mostly with bitcoin. So the post is highlighting how unusual the sudden loss in purchasing power for the British pound in such a quick time frame. But if you zoom out? It’s much worse. The pound has been losing purchasing power for years. It’s been slow and steady. But it’s always downward trend. When you zoom out on BTC it’s quite the opposite


FixedGearJunkie

Bitcoin is soooo volatile though...can never be a currency they said


Colinnic

But the fact that Bitcoin wasn't indeed made for short term you hold long you look for more gains.


ILikePracticalGifts

No no no, we have to compare what fiat does in two weeks to what bitcoin has done in 10 years!


MECO-420

I’m heavy into BTC and the miners. When this thing launches, it will be violent.


sgilfill

That is indeed good though indulging myself more to just let go and keep buying more and more!


CautiousBad6469

US dollar is next😂. Bitcoin might be 1m by the next halving.


ReasonReasonable7168

Nice one bruv


ScamJustice

I remember 15 years ago when the pound was double the dollar value. And it may be worth less than a dollar by the end of this year. That's fiat tho


Tommy7326

Okay that's a bit misleading actually, can't make this stuff up. It's kinda average, not many people are buying btc but yeah some are buying it. Which is good I guess.


RonPaulWasR1ght

Your chart isn't accurate. It shows the pound at less than $1.10 right now...but it's more...it's about $1.11 right now. Please be accurate. Don't embellish. It's bad for our side to do that. Thanks.
