The USG has been quiet on cryptos lately. Could be DOGE is uncovering lots of graft, but it could also mean a quiet positioning and accumulation of assets without tipping anybody off?

Interesting look at crypto.

Bitcoin Has No Value; Neither Does Ethereum, XRP, Etc.

How do you determine a value for nothing, i.e., Bitcoin? A house has value. Companies that produce and provide goods and services have value. Real money (i.e. gold) has value.

Interesting look at crypto. ...

Author confused the three functions of money with the characteristics of money. He also fails acknowledge that value is subjective. He does not find value in BTC, but that doesn't mean everyone agrees - else markets wouldn't be trading it for near $100k after 10+ years of existence. There are a lot of valid criticisms of Bitcoin, but it's a stretch to claim it has zero value given a decade plus trading history with institutional and nation state interest.

Also, the author briefly opens his umbrella to all crypto, but limits his commentary to just Bitcoin. There are a lot of interesting use cases for different crypto platforms including (but not limited to) Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, web3 gaming, DePIN, decentralized finance (DeFI) and enabling decentralized governance organizations (DUNAs, DAOs) . The author really needs to evaluate each project on it's own merits.

What's going on with Eth overnight? Seems to be rallying esp vs Solana.

 

[pmbug]

I'm not sure. Checking CMC, I see Ethereum (ETH) up 4.33% over the last 24h. I see Cardano (ADA) up 7.29%. Many others I keep tabs on up between 2% and 4%. Looks to me like Solana (SOL) is the outlier (and laggard). Might be some meme coin hangover/contagion from LIBRA (which like TRUMP and MELANIA were launched on the Solana blockchain).

Feb 17, 2025

Today I am talking to someone who has millions of dollars invested into Bitcoin and believes it will be the future of money. As more people realize they are being ripped off by fiat currencies, more people will likely gravitate towards gold, silver and possibly even bitcoin.
