the irony i see in bitcoin

the shitty part about this community from what i have seen so far is people hope for mass adoption one day or at least for more people to become apart of the community... yet when I or other newbies ask basic questions we get destroyed. bought my first 50 worth of BTC today and asked a basic question about fees and why my portfolio was already negative despite buying at a lower price than current price and this dickhead was just like "this isn't meant for you"

im here posting this partly to rant but also to plead with you all during this time to chill the fuck out and be more welcoming to newbies like me... its pretty ironic because you will have an a effect on the future of BTC more than you think by being a pompous asshole

shoutout to the real heads that have been helping me out. happy to have bought in and i made a vow to become more educated on these topics... like jeez sorry i wanted to buy in now when its low before i knew that much. i still know enough to understand the fundamental concepts

“Out of the control of banks and governments”

If you’re worried about bitcoins value then you don’t understand the idea. It is worth more than anything physical for the reason I’m the title. You think a %50 drop is bad, just shake it off and get more while the rich sell. Then when governments collapse as all do throughout history, and the rich want bitcoin again. You can steal their money.

This coin, I can buy stuff across the world without exchanging one governments currency for another. Which means I can buy straight from YOU if you are accepting bitcoin.

This is the kicker now. With everyone going crazy it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start accepting bitcoin if you’re a business owner. Bitcoin grows when more people are willing to use it.

Anti fucking fragility

Maybe the storm is over, maybe not.

But here's a fact: Bitcoin trading is 24/7/365. If someone wants to liquidate a billion USD worth of bitcoin right now, sitting on their toilet, they can. Price is still good and well within error-margin of the stock-to-flow-model by PlanB.

The "traditional" markets were halted, needed trillions of fiat-money injections and still went down. Let's see how they are doing on Monday. I wish them luck and high returns, but ...

... who's holding the highly-speculative asset now?

Bitcoins volatility is like a clearing bush-fire. Sure it sucks if you have a bush-fire. But better having it here and there, than suppressing them over years or decades and then have a fucking inferno on your hands.

Used the Recent Decline to Join the 1 BTC Club!...

After several years of buying the dips, I am proud say that you guys can scratch 1 of the eventual 21 Million Bitcoin off the "for sale" list and mark it down "owned." I saw this time of panic as the perfect opportunity to achieve my goal and have been a fan of BTC for the past 3 years.

Am I worried about the price? Nope.

Will I trade it for shitcoins? Nope.

Will I send it to a Nigerian Prince? Nope.

Will I continue to aquire BTC if there is more panic in the future? You damn right I will. ; )

Why I believe

I have never been a strong believer. In anything. But I totally believe in Bitcoin. I will never ever sell my Bitcoin. Even i fit goes to zero, which will undoubtedly hurt me. This is the first time, I have the feeling that I can contribute to make this world a better place. Although on a small scale.

A fools hope maybe. But I want to give something back. Loyalty. As much as I can afford.

Not the whales, not the SEC nor Dollar, Gold or stockmarkets will decide the fate of Bitcoin. It's in the hands of every Hodler. What a great perspective.

Noobs

To those who sold all their bitcoins for fiats in this crashing market, they are the ones who bought bitcoins for the moon and lambo, thinking they will have an instant money. I'm glad they have been weeded out from the ecosystem.

Me? I've bought and HODL because I believe in the financial leverage that will help us fight the world banking system.

I'm glad that many are selling their bitcoins so that those who truly believe in it could DCA or buy more at lower price.

This pandemic virus will soon pass. It's not forever.

As a long time BTC hodler, this COVID-19 is just another Tuesday for me.

Family came to me today and want me to invest for them

My sister ~ 25yrs old stacked about 20k in sport Price money and wants to invest it, I basically told her she should not invest more than 2k in crypto. So today I bought her 2k worth of BTC with a 10€ fee on coinbase pro - first time using it, works smooth af.

My dad sent me 5k to invest in crypto, but not only btc. So I bought some Ripple, BTC and ETH.

Its all stored on my Trezor and when Im coming home again I will hand them their own trezor and do all the security things with them, so they can handle it on their own.

This felt very good and stuff like this has to happen in more families! Reach out to your family, but dont be a douche or act like its a cult or some shit. Be reasonable and rational, but reach out to them!

Is anybody fighting for the community to get crypto tax laws changed?

The government is taking your money and if someone challenges them IN COURT you might not have to give it to them.

'CRYPTO TO CRYPTO' trades are being taxed as if you sold from 'CRYPTO to FIAT to CRYPTO', except you actually didn't. You went from 'CRYPTO to CRYPTO. You don't pay the government when you change currencies at a currency exchange for example USD to CAD.

They treat it like you sold 'IBM stock for APPLE stock'. Which would be 'IBM to FIAT to APPLE'.

CASH IN: A Perfectly Symmetrically Delta-Neutral Market Maker

https://medium.com/@jarettdunn/a-perfectly-symmetrically-delta-neutral-market-maker-4f5a3ad47612

​

https://i.imgur.com/oY7DdYY.png

​

loads of changes. significant change is that it market orders 1/10 of the amount if pos >350 <-350, every interval, and adjusts the 1/10 mark to achieve a consistent 75% maker volume.

This lessens the overall risk and allows for a higher pos_lim_long & short.

The more we can keep delta neutral, the less we have to worry about significant moves.

How's the bot been running for you? Are you my ref also running eth?

We might also want to kill march futures (by default on btc on repo, just remove 'btc-' from 'btc-mar20' and it'll also kill eth mar fut) because we're close to expiry.

SLs now reduce to delta neutral, instead of marketing out the entire position. This is extremely helpful in not losing a whole bunch of $ on SL, meaning we can SL more often.

Moon!

​

Check out Coindex Lab’s symmetrically delta-neutral market making bot!

​

Great news! It’s available here:

https://github.com/DunnCreativeSS/deribitBitmexMarketMaker_ByFunding

(please do sign up under my affiliate link, though!)

​

How is this fantastic?

​

Hey Deribit,

I did about $200k volume on BTC perp and futures last 24hrs on $70 balance.

https://i.imgur.com/1PcU88c.png

and >$6million total.

my CEO has done $12m

https://i.imgur.com/SdIbPTC.png

We’re increasing our market maker first to $5k balance next week on a separate account, next pilot will be $150-$300k and then our first round of funding will be ~$50m (which should be a significant amount Deribit but also diversified a bit).

We’re wondering if we could negotiate a preferred fee rebate on top of the standard offer, to provide this kind of liquidity? Even a slight improvement on rebate would be exponential for us.

-Jarett

Chief Liquidity Officer

Coindex Labs

​

Also,

And this is just me talking out loud:

https://blog.deribit.com/partners/

We could certainly provide an endpoint, websocket or SaaS for market making signals if we were to arrange an agreement.

You can follow our livenet market maker on Ryan’s subaccount bot_POC on (redacted email) or here:

http://jare.cloud:8080

How do we negotiate a partner status with Deribit, while we’re preparing to go live with our fund?

​

-Jarett

Chief Liquidity Officer

Coindex Labs

​

The bot checks funding rates on Deribit among perpetual and futures, and longs whichever pays the other. When longing or shorting perp and shorting or longing futures, it 4x the longs on perp in ordersize so that — effectually — at any point it should be near 0 total position. This effects a situation where upwards or downwards movement in market doesn’t affect the returns, and you effectively collect on fees + the convergence of your perp and futures in cash n carry arbitrage + the spread.

https://i.imgur.com/1bIMXkx.png

Isn’t that beautiful?
