James Chanos, the founder of Kynikos Associates, dropped the bombshell on Sunday, revealing that his investment firm unwound its short position on Strategy and a long position on Bitcoin (BTC) early Friday morning, probably right after finishing his coffee and plotting his next move in the grand chess game of market manipulation.
Stalwart XRP holders still linger in anticipation, for the government hallways remain sealed, as decisions from the SEC gods are awaited. A listing on the DTCC is but a silhouette of approval, not its substance. It is merely a wee step in the march of bureaucracy, confirming that those managing these funds have turned their own intricate cogs into preparation for whatever vow of entry the regulators may bestow. đđ
Trump, the great orator of the digital age, proclaimed on Truth Social that the United States, with its coffers brimming like a well-fed noble, is siphoning trillions from tariffs. These funds, he declared, would not only vanquish the $37 trillion national debt but also bestow a dividend upon the people. Yet, the high-income earners, those paragons of wealth, would be left in the cold, their pockets untouched by this grand gesture. đ«đ°
Tout cela dans le cadre de lâOpĂ©ration PONEI (oui, comme la fameuse mascotte de lâĂ©quitation espagnole, mais ici, ça ne saute pas dâobstacle, ça vole en Ă©clats de milliards). Avec lâaide dâEuropol et dâagences USA, Singapour, Malaisie, et ThaĂŻlande (comme une rĂ©union de famille non choisie), Romillo fut ause court en justice le 7 novembre. Bilan ? Pas de libertĂ© sous caution, bien sĂ»r, parce que, voyez-vous, il risquerait de prendre le large comme un bandit de grand chemin. đđŒ
Technical augurs, those modern-day soothsayers, decree that the bulls are but a faint whisper in the wind. The token, once buoyant, now wallows in the mire of its own decline, unable to rise from the ashes of its recent humiliations. đŠ”đš
According to Orbitalâs Stablecoin Retail Payments Index, the crypto industry, that eternal wanderer between madness and reason, has finally found its footing, trading the feverish dance of speculation for the solemn ritual of practicality. A curious turn of events, is it not? đ
The crypto titan, with a wave of his hand, dismisses whispers of collusion with the Trump clan or their World Liberty Financial. “Nonsense,” he declares, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Iâd sooner dance with shadows than deal with such theatrics.” đ
In the dusty plains of the crypto frontier, long-term holders have started lightening their saddlebags, their once-steady hands now trembling like a leaf in a dust storm. Fund manager James Lavish, a man whoâs seen more market swings than a saloon door, notes that over 400,000 BTC have been dumped in a single month. Thatâs enough to make even the most grizzled cowboy gulp his whiskey. âSentimentâs drier than a bone in the Mojave,â Lavish drawls, his voice heavy with the weight of a market gone from hootinâ and hollerinâ to whisperinâ and worryinâ in the blink of an eye. đ€
So, Wall Streetâs suddenly obsessed with crypto. BlackRockâs Bitcoin ETF is breaking records, which I guess isâŠsomething. Fidelity and VanEck are jumping on the bandwagon, and even the Nasdaqâs hinting at a digital makeover. Itâs all very exciting for the people who wear suspenders and shout on CNBC, but hereâs the thing: none of it is actually happening on the blockchain. Itâs like ordering a salad and getting a picture of a salad. Disappointing, really.
So, this Alex Thorn fellow – a veteran analyst, which means heâs been watching things go up and down for a while – was having a chinwag with CNBC (whatever that is) and confessed heâs lowered his expectations for Bitcoin. From a dazzling $185,000 to a⊠well, still quite a lot, $120,000. But a downgrade nonetheless!đ±
