Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

I presume you would be going through the buying and spending of that bitcoin just for the fun aspect and to contribute to the positive vibe and data, which of course wouldn't hurt your wallet? :cool:

Merely for the chance to take an additional bitcoin off the market.

Anyone holding ADA?

Got around 630 myself, tempted to round it up to 1000, hard to know what it will be at this time next year though!

Anyone got opinions on this?

Because of the jump its bow my second biggest holding after btc. I think we've seen the big jump on it now but I think there's good gains still to be got and with staking it offers a decent return overall.

We’re up over 1000% in a year so it’s possible.

But so far institutions have been wrong at every call so thread carefully.

The media know nothing that isn’t already known on this thread.

It was 5000 a year ago when we were stacking sats what am I missing here

Well the obvious differences is that 30 days is far more recent than a year.
And a 10% fall is far far more likely than a 90% fall.

Both of those are kinda obvious points. Not really sure what your point is.
And "stacking sats" at $5k is far far removed at 60k. Really not sure what the relevance of 5k a year ago is.

What does staying in BTC have to do with anything?
I couldn’t care what Elon does with his revenue tbh.

It speaks to increased adoption and an ever changing view towards what still remains a nascent currency. As regards your follow on post re. it being insignificant, many things may be / or appear to be insignificant in isolation. To me, its another brick in the wall.

As I said, taking payments it a huge plus for BTC as a genuine currency.
But I don't think holding a fraction of sales revenue demonstrates any sort of new adoption.
The same way I wouldn't think it was damning if they converted BTC revenue to their primary currency either.

Yup, I understood what you said - there's no misunderstanding. I just feel that small steps in that direction - to me that represents progress. ...from the 'slowly at first, then all at once' school of thought.

Big institutions creating FUD so they can buy the dip. Don't get shaken out.

I think you need to step out of the bubble you are in - there's no concerted effort from institutions to create FUD.

This article is the view of Amundi's CIO, and doesn't mean that Amundi have not got crypto-related internal activities progressing internally. Additionally, it should be noted that IBs that are undertaking 'significant activity' haven't all suddenly seen the light and bought in to crypto, much of this is to satisfy client demand. Desks will spring up when there is demand, and close just as quickly if it tails off, or regulatory requirements become a burden.

When I give an opinion on potential drops it’s from my own technical analysis. It’s shunned in here but I enjoy it.

I’ve been buying Bitcoin for over 3 years and I like to draw lines.

We could hit 10k next week, who knows.
