Less so if and more when, the whales cash out of bitcoin, ethereum and other crypto currencies, we could witness one of the biggest wipe outs of global wealth ever! Estimated at half a trillion USD.
Caution is advised! Its a funnel, there is more crypto currency in circulation than could ever be exchanged… hot air dilema… this will be more evident as regulators and governments continue to crack down on exchanges… panic will reign…
As a final note, in large monetary transactions AML flags are raised, so at such artificially inflated valuations will this not be commonplace when converting back to fiat currencies? Just exchanging a single bitcoin at current values will raise automated official flags with the financial regulators.
Therefore you could be fined, taxed, assets seized, etc.. If you cannot convert it, it is worth ZERO…. makes you think doesn’t it.
The higher the value the bigger the problem! This is one of the reasons the whales want ETFs and other financial instruments…. they need to cash out big and they are stuck. Bitcoin was not conceived to be a speculative vehicle… the tech is great but we forgot to factor in human behavioural traits such as GREED.
Now is the perfect time to cash out, if you can, which for any fairly sized investment will be almost impossible in today’s climate.
For the micro user spending millionths of a coin per transaction, entirely online with no exchange in to FIAT currencies, there seems to be no complications for now. Yet hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in breaking into crypto wallets and with no insurance or guarantees available, once your money is gone, it’s gone.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
