THE BANANA REPUBLIC HITS A MILESTONE

 

“The Federal Debt has hit $33 TRILLION!!”

No sense reinventing the wheel, here are the grizzly details from ZH in the link below.


And very soon, interest on said national debt will SURPASS $1 TRILLION … truly

Banana Republic stuff here, and leads to the question, “when does the revolution

start?” … and 2 things will happen I guarantee … 1) gold & silver will skyrocket,

it’s not a question of “IF”, only a question of “WHEN”, and 2) crypto, specifically

Bitcoin will go up faster than ever before … doubters can doubt all they want and

live in fantasy land, it doesn’t bother me, or change the FACT that the Banana

Republic is very much on the “road to ruin financially”, and nobody but nobody

in the “Uniparty” has the will or desire to stop the profligate spending.


It will come fast & furious and leave many behind … markets will explode first and

then the POLS & Apparatchiks will react … “it’s better to be 10 years too early,

than 1 day too late!” … “never let a crisis go to waste”, and they surely won’t

… expect many draconian wealth destruction & capital control laws to be hustled

through the Clown College … will there be a “hot war” first and the cancellation

of 2024 elections? … I wouldn’t discount the idea, cuz the probability ain’t ZERO!


For us as traders, as the disintegration of the country continues its pace, both

gold &  silver will pick up trading interest … the FEDS short interest in gold will

collapse and lead to record highs in price, and once freed from government

manipulation shackles, gold will lead the trading world to a better place for

everyone … buckle up!, cuz the state of the country is only getting worse,

worse-er, & worser-er-er-er by the day / week / month with no end in sight

whatsoever.


But you wouldn’t know it from today’s utterly pathetic trading action here early,

where I’m beginning to wonder if the manipulators want everything to shut

down? … in all seriousness, what you’re seeing is literally impossible without

active manipulation by central bank scumbag Apparatchiks … and they don’t

get any “scumbag-ier” than the FED Lounge Lizards … just impossible tiny

ranges and lethargic trading action! … and as I’ve said before, avoid ANY & ALL

U.S. economic reports when trading, cuz no matter how minor they are,

scumbag banks blow up the order book and we get “speed of light … crickets”

trading, and today is no different.


I’ve also reached the conclusion, that if your desire is to trade a non-political

market, and in the process strip out bullshit politics, horseshit econ numbers

that are “fake news”, and POLS & Apparatchiks attempting to influence any

market, the market to trade is Ethereum [ETHUSDT] @ IQCENT … a 1 penny

spread with no commissions, and better liquidity IMHO than its sister Bitcoin

when trading, and currently has a 20 Day Range MA of ~$56 … about 75% of that

comes in the New York session … that = ~ $42, which if you allow each $0.10 of

movement = 1 PIP in FX terms, comes to roughly a 420 PIP range … that’s light

years better than any FX pair, the one disadvantage being MAX 10:1 leverage for

margin purposes … that isn’t specific to IQCENT, but pretty standard throughout

crypto trading now … it’s more than likely the best trading market going

anywhere, and despite the higher margins, you get the movement WITHOUT THE

POLITICAL BULLSHIT that comes with trading pairs like EURUSD … and the

“Trend VIX” is comparable IMHO between the two … quite frankly, it’s “Hoover

Dam” near impossible to beat a 1 penny spread with no commissions on a

dollar & cents pair, and get the liquidity and price action you need … and for the

record, you don’t always get that in BTCUSDT, and that’s why I think it’s a better

overall trading pair for scalping … doesn’t matter if you love or hate crypto,

we’re talking money here! … why pass on it from a scalp trade perspective?

… makes no sense.


Afternoon now in “Biden’s Gulag” [a/k/a New York], and if I didn’t see it with my

own eyes I wouldn’t believe it … 7 - 8 hours and gold has an approximate $6

range from the tips, with session range closer to $3 - $4 over that period … wait,

WUT!? … yea, everybody & their pet rabbit knows tomorrow is FED day & so

maybe things get a little slow … but this is fucking ridiculous! … and quite

frankly, another stellar day for EURUSD [NOT!], with one of the sickest range

days I’ve ever seen … when you spend the majority of the day inside a 20-ish

PIP range yo-yo of horseshit, it’s pretty seriously FUBAR from the “get go” … no

trades for the PAMM today in gold, WTF do you want me to do inside a $3 range?

… we had better trading action 30 years ago when it was at $500! … I dunno,

maybe the FED thinks that by crushing VIX, option premiums on their massive

short calls will create a collapse in premium prices and they can get out

… nothing else makes any sense … over at IQCENT, a shipload of light volume

trades in both EURUSD & ETHUSDT, AND WE’RE UP ~ 0.3% … HIGHER

VOLUMES WHEN THE FED LOUNGE LIZARDS ARE DONE & FINISHED WITH

THEIR CLOWN SHOW TOMORROW … both markets providing good scalping

trades from the long side … and remember, when trading any of the crypto pairs

you need to watch the “basis” between platforms and/or exchanges to give

yourself an EXTRA ADVANTAGE when trading … you can’t buy spikes higher if

you are trading from the long side, cuz if you do you will ALWAYS be behind the

proverbial “8-ball” … spikes higher are for selling [liquidating]! … as for gold,

I don’t see how what we’ve seen the last few days can get any worse in terms

of price action … even though the FED most likely won’t do anything tomorrow,

getting these Asshats out of the way paves the way for better trading conditions

… we’ll see.


… OUTTA HERE … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of sunglasses 😎😎,

and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!! … Onward & Upward!!

SUNDAY UPDATE: HO HUM, ANOTHER BANK GOES DOWN

 

“All part of Biden’s plan to destroy the U.S. … you voted for the Doofus!!”

Everything is “fine”, remember? … and if you believe anything Corruptocrats like

Biden, Spicoli, and/or Grandma “Yoda” Yellen have to say about anything, you’re

dumber than a bag of fucking rocks … they are all professional LIARS,

HYPOCRITES, & THIEVES … another Friday night bank closure, this time First

Republic Bank … all part of the plan by Socialist Thugs like Biden & his

“Manchurian Candidate” VP “Word Salad” Kammy … the goal is to get rid of all

but the biggest banks in the U.S., leaving JPM, Citigroup, Bank of America, and

maybe a couple of others if they behave right … much easier to control you and

your wealth for confiscation when the time is appropriate when there’s only a

handful of TBTF & TBTJ scumbag banks … more regional and smaller banks to

follow down the drain.


All of this is heading society towards a cashless society and a central bank

digital currency [CBDC], and with it the end of personal freedoms … and if you’re

not a good little Goebbels Libtard, you’ll get no credit to buy that bigger useless

house in the suburbs, and every aspect of your life will be monitored by “Big

Brother” … the scary part is that there are Sheeple who say they wouldn’t mind

that, cuz it means “security” … “security” from what? … just remember, whatever

it is some Asshat POL promises, can be taken away when you wander off the

plantation! … now what?


You only got one option … since history backs me up 100%, how many fucking

times do I have to say this? … “it’s better to be 10 years too early than 1 day too

late!” … 1) you need gold [silver] held OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. in a safe & secure

location … Singapore & Dubai fill that requirement … and 2) you definitely NEED

CRYPTO! … if the swings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others make you feel uneasy,

hold stablecoins in your DECENTRALIZED WALLET … Exodus & Atomic wallets

are all very good, and there are dozens of others as well … TETHER, TRON,

BINANCE all have dollar stablecoins, and I’m sure there are others coming on

stream … you don’t need an offshore bank account and pay incorporation agents

and/or lawyers to incorporate an IBC [International Business Company] in a tax

haven and then pay hefty annual fees, just to hold cash outside of the purview of

government & potential creditors … simply buy and hold crypto stablecoins for

that rainy day emergency … and if you’re really off the charts paranoid, hold

Monero or Z-Cash, which are total privacy coins that can’t be tracked on the

blockchain, thus fall off the RADAR of the crypto analytic firms that serve

government … OR, hold your crypto in a cold ledger thumb drive and keep it in

a safe and secure space that you control.


But gosh vegas, what if the government outlaws crypto and makes it illegal?

… Bwahahahaha! … OK, let ‘em! … it only makes the U.S. that much further

behind the rest of the world, where crypto is being adopted “el mucho quicko”!

… it would solve nothing, and wouldn’t change anybody’s mind … it would

drive development & innovation out of the country [a/k/a “brain drain”] into the

hands of others … and who’s gonna follow the U.S.? … try nobody of

significance, as the rest of the three quarters of the world laughs uncontrollably

at dwindling U.S. hegemony in everything but stupidity & incompetence!


I will remind readers, that back in 2008 - 2010, when one “Chalky Sotero”

became Preezy Empty Suit, he shoved through the Libtard Clown College [both

branches, the “populist” & “retarded”] legislation that outlawed CFD’s in the

U.S. … of course, this was the payoff to the CME in Murder, Illinois which has the

world’s largest futures exchange … that killed a lot of jobs and firms that left the

U.S. and went “offshore”, and is the reason 99% of the world wants nothing to

do with U.S. citizens and/or residents when it comes to finance of any kind,

meaning bank and/or brokerage accounts … so, what did this stinkbomb

legislation accomplish? … nothing … people went offshore in droves to firms

that didn’t give a shit what the U.S. wanted or cared about … now, as crypto has

become “mainstream”, that offshore world is bigger and stronger than ever

before while the U.S. loses on every metric you can care to name … yea, so go

ahead and make it “illegal”, it won’t matter one fucking bit … I can already hear

the Middle East, Africa, South America, Caribbean, Europe, Russia, China, India,

and the entire Pacific Rim laughing their collective asses off into hysteria at the

world’s dumbest Libtards.


Every week brings more news of cooperation of the world’s countries at

de-dollarization, of ditching the SWIFT international payments system run by the

FED, of both China & Russia coming closer to backing their respective

currencies with gold, and setting up financial systems specifically designed TO

CUT THE U.S. OUT OF EVERYTHING THEY DO … there are already validated

rumors of Saudi Arabia selling oil to China, accepting Yuan as payment, and

turning around and buying gold for physical delivery on the Shanghai Gold

Exchange … and given the U.S. history since WWII of shitting on friends, and the

idiots running things now and their penchant for FUBAR everything they touch,

just wait when the Saudi’s no longer accept the dollar for pricing of oil and see

what happens next … every metric that matters, both direct and indirect, points

towards the collapse of the U.S. into third world status in the years ahead … and

when the POLS get desperate, YOUR WEALTH becomes the target!


In the months and years ahead, the U.S. will LOSE its markets in physical

commodities … it’s only a matter of time before gold & oil start trading in terms

of Bitcoin and/or Yuan [Reminbi = offshore Yuan outside of China proper] … it’s

only a matter of time before the “NO KYC” offshore brokerage houses start

offering balances held in YUAN or REMINBI … many already offer crypto held

balances … what would you rather have, a gold backed Yuan or  piece of paper

backed by nothing, which is what Federal Reserve Notes are? … people will vote

with their wallets! … whether you love or hate crypto really doesn’t matter … the

people of the world have had enough of corrupt central banks that wipe

purchasing power off of their country’s currency via the CNTRL-P machine

… POLS & Apparatchiks ALWAYS choose corruption and inflation over common

sense and what’s in the best interests of their citizens … mass adoption, whether

you want to stay in the “dark ages” or “see the light” makes no difference, will

eventually make Bitcoin the most valuable currency in the world … and the

reason is simple … it can’t be cheated, and there’s a FIXED SUPPLY … no money

printing! … and it’s instant cash around the world across borders, with now the

ability of having goods & services bought / sold in BTC, as well as debit cards

… the “flow” is only going in one direction! … money is finally being taken out

of the hands of the corrupt, and put in the hands of the world’s population

… and you wonder why POLS & Apparatchiks hate it? [Note: they don’t hate it

when they get their “skim” from the banks deposited into their crypto wallets,

now do they?]


How much longer can the FED manipulate the gold market, keep prices artificially

low, before it blows up, brings the COMEX down, and hopefully bankrupts a few

bullion banks? … I dunno where the “line in the sand” is, I can only surmise it’s

closer than ever before … I don’t think the “debt ceiling drama” will do anything,

simply cuz the Repubs always cave at the last minute … they’re worse than the

French! … more bank failures will be met with more QE+ INFINITY, and papered

over as “ho hum” … quite frankly, I think it’s gonna take the Saudi’s or the

ChiComs to do it … which one moves first? … and when that seminal moment

arrives, both Bitcoin & gold explode!


Bitcoin is the “perfect” trading vehicle in the electronic era for many reasons, not

the least of which is no scumbag bank LP’s or by proxy central banks … it’s a

FREE, pure spec market that’s made up of retail specs, “whales” of varying size,

and “arb” [arbitrageur] firms trading the discrepancies in price from the myriad

of exchanges and platforms that offer Bitcoin “spot” and “perpetual” futures

trading … by contrast, FX is entirely controlled and manipulated by central banks

and their BFF scumbag TBTF & TBTJ multinational bank LP’s, and has been since

the EURCHF debacle in January 2015 … “Stock Bellies” run by the FED and the

“Plunge Protection Team” [PPT] and manipulated daily.


Mainstream Bitcoin trading at the biggest crypto firms like Binance, Phemex,

ByBit, etc., all have penny spreads but “bigly & yuge” “gas fees” [a/k/a

commissions] … most people are gonna pay around $35 per BTC notional price

… and over the last few years, trading has gotten MORE EXPENSIVE, NOT

CHEAPER at these firms … for example, gone are the “they pay you” for an

executed “maker order” [limit buy or sell] … they now all charge for that! … and

they all have drastically reduced the available leverage to trade BTC without very

tight stop orders … orders that get run by folks who got plenty more money than

you! … the industry norm now is 10X leverage … then there are places like

Coinexx, which offer crypto trading, but instead of an “open order book” [OOB]

proprietary platform with charting from Trading View [TV], they have LP’s who

make a market [cough, bullshit, cough] and use the MT4 or MT5 platform … here

the spread is around $35, and the commissions are pennies … total cost is

roughly the same, just that spread and commissions are swapped … here, you

get to deal with scumbag LP slippage in all of its glorious ramifications … quite

frankly, they are the worst thieves in trading … simply atrocious.


What you need to understand is that whether you’re on an OOB platform or at

some place like Coinexx, what you see for a “market” is bogus … you aren’t

gonna get the bid when selling and you’re not gonna get the offer when buying

… whatever quote you’re seeing, it’s an illusion … granted, the real market is

close, but how do you define “close”, and is that acceptable to you as your

volume increases? … the market is being “spoofed” constantly by “whales” and

arbs … bids and offers there one second, gone the next nanosecond … these

“spoof games” are being played continuously with one purpose and goal … to

get you to think one thing, while those wanting to do something else look to take

your money … simple as that, no confusion here!


IQCENT offers the very best Bitcoin trading conditions, not cuz their pricing is

perfect, but cuz of the fact that the bid/offer spread is almost always 1 penny,

AND THERE ARE NO GASS FEES [COMMISSIONS]! … I’m pretty sure IQCENT

acts as their own LP via a brokerage arm, so in essence they’re one big “arb”

… if they are a “market maker” [MM] and trade for their own account against

clients, I could care less, for the simple reason I don’t care what somebody else

does, and if they want to “fade me”, have at it … as Vito Corleone would say,

“it’s not personal, just business!” … but like everybody else who’s trading and is

in the MM biz or arb side of things, whatever they are offering to sell you, SOME

OTHER PLACE THEY ARE ABLE TO BUY IT CHEAPER FIRST, THEN OFFER IT

TO YOU … ditto only reverse the process for sells. 


Sure, you can put a “LIMIT ORDER” into the system, but they’re only gonna

execute the order if they can profit off of it FIRST! … C’mon, don’t be stupid and

naive! … what makes it work perfectly from our perspective are 2 important

criteria … 1) Bitcoin moves hard & fast, and 2) our cost structure can’t be beat!

… it simply doesn’t matter in the scheme of things if price is slightly higher/lower

someplace else … in less than a microsecond that will change … what we aren’t

locked into, is a HIGH COST STRUCTURE THAT KILLS PROFITS AND WIDENS

LOSSES! … in essence this is what arbs do, and it’s supposed to be what LP’s

should be doing at a place like Coinexx, but sadly don’t.
