Gensler still has nothing to say about SBF. Hilarious.
Microstrategy could have purchased Ethereum then staked the Ethereum for income which plain vanilla spot Ethereum ETFs can't do.
"Everything is a security including the Pokeman cards" !! I really enjoyed that one, Paul. Thank you and your team for your daily work on behalf of the crypto army.
solana is better
where is money there is sec
I think SEC is sending message to X.
PayPal is just playing games to stop X, it is a threat for them.
ERC 20 is a dumb idea no matter how you view it, especially as a payment system. great for the validators but dung for users.
Why Gary is going after PP …Cuz… they are offering a better place to put your money 4.30% savings account and you can skirt the banks who refuse to let you buy crypto using paypal to buy crypto. You know Gary trying to protect his bank buddies. Too late … the horse has left the barn. All he is doing now is whackamole. These companies obviously looked into all the legal ramifications (Fidelity aint no slouch like SBF). SBF didn't even have a board of directors and when one investor told them to get one they literally told him …GFYS.
Congress was right, Gensler is destroying the SEC's reputaion their might come a time where the SEC's reputation is fully tarnished by the majority its time for congress to supoena Gensler time for talking is over.
Reference your uk statement their actions do not correlate with their statements.
Microstrtegy is poised to win no matter what happens simply because they got in first.

Gary the rat probably pissed off his boy SBF found guilty and now going to delay things further.
Awesome then.. Can you do video review on reef token..
Reef Chain is an EVM compatible blockchain for DeFi.
I agree with Saylor about MSTR stock vs ETF. MSTR has no expense ratio which isn’t insignificant with compounding.
Also, MSTR to me is like a 1.2X BTC with the financial gymnastics they can do to add value such as strategic stock buyback to add to BTC pile, or strategic selling for tax advantage.
I like the arbitrage between the BTC and MSTR using the trading pair as demo’s by James from InvestAnswers. I bought MSTR call options, leaps, in Jan the $190’s when MSTR was undervalued per BTC PRICE
The ETF, however, does contribute to daily BTC trading volume where MSTR does not
The MSTR/BTC pair trading more for sophisticated traders
Not making upto a million before retirement is an unfulfilled retirement. I’m 55 and my wife is 51 . We are both retired with over $3million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on the FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock market made it possible for us this early. Even till now, we earn weekly.
Its simple: gensler either approves the ETFs ASAP, gets sued by institutions for stalling, gets publicly and politically ridiculed and castrated
Gary is enforcing the big banks wills, while we have to struggle to have a clear off ramp so we can pay taxes and not get it all seized cuz my banks won't allow deposits from exchanges
I'm here for more neutral news. I don't have any care for highs and lows or what everyone wants you to do.
