Be Cautious in Unpredictable Crypto Markets

By Vin Narayanan on June 30, 2023

The crypto markets have entered a highly unpredictable phase. There are so many contradictory market forces in play that it’s hard to make any short-term market predictions. The SEC is going after Coinbase. Coinbase is fighting back. Blackrock (among others) applied for a bitcoin spot ETF (with bitcoin as the underlying asset). The SEC said no in a matter of days (funny how quickly the SEC can move when it wants to). The Fed paused rate hikes. And now it…

By Adam Sharp on May 28, 2021

Alert: Taking Profits and Selling

By Adam Sharp on February 19, 2021

Deciding when to take profits in crypto is extremely difficult. Based on past bull markets, we likely still have at least a year to go before things cool off (and probably more based on the unprecedented deficits and money printing today). But I think it would…

2020 Turned Into a Great Year for Crypto

By Adam Sharp on December 31, 2020

It’s been an amazing year in crypto! We had a nasty dip in the spring — followed by a roaring comeback once people realized crypto was created for these economic times (massive money printing and even lower interest rates).  Things are truly starting to get interesting…

‘Money Printer Go Brrr’ Goes Mainstream

By Adam Sharp on June 26, 2020

We’ve been talking about the inevitability of massive money printing for the past few years. It’s one of the big reasons I like crypto so much. Now everyone, including mainstream CNBC shows like “Fast Money,” are talking about how the Federal Reserve’s actions are causing stock prices to go up.

By Adam Sharp on June 12, 2020

Bitcoin Was Made for This

By Adam Sharp on March 18, 2020

We are in uncharted waters. The federal government is likely to announce badly needed stimulus checks in the near future. The Federal Reserve has already announced that it’s injecting trillions of dollars in liquidity into the market – and more is expected. Bailouts are a near certainty for airlines, hotels…
