Only been 3 billion Tether printed since mid-May and the price hasnt moved much in that time. Looks like volume is trending down steadily on both though. I don't know if any of that actually means anything because it is bitcoin. If you pay me $100 I will channel a spirit that tells me what it means though.

It's a precarious balance for the exchanges, they can't let the price too high or their ponzis might come down, and they can't let it too low or the miners will revolt.

My prediction as a professional bitcoin consultant (I keep telling dudes to stay the gently caress away pro bono) is that they'll keep a managed price decline as miner hardware keeps burning out, just slow enough not to trigger a panic. I haven't even seen a proper bart in a month so the focus must be more on stability.

I don't really see another 20k since the pool of suckers is getting unemployed and diluted by other crypto/defi scams, bitcoin's advantage over those is a stronger core true believers but recruitment is getting harder when there's no more big winnings.

I don't think KryptoKeskus (CryptoCenter) has been mentioned in the thread, yet!

https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/119969/involuntary-account-closure-due-to-suspicious-activity-aka-btc-transactions posted:

I've been banking with U.S. Bank for about a year and a half. Around the beginning of January, I noticed some strange activity as it pertained to my U.S. Bank checking account.

I often utilize Zelle to send money back and forth amongst friends, to pay back colleagues, and even to pay things as essential to everyday living like rent.

One evening I noticed that my Zelle temporarily was unavailable. I happened to be completing a few BTC transactions using LocalBitcoin. The next day I received a phone call from a US Bank phone number registered out of Ohio. The U. S. Bank representative leaves an innoculous message stating he wants to clarify some of my recent activity and to call him back.

I phone him back and he begins to ask me about recent activity on my account. He states that there has been an influx of zelle deposits into my account and because I had (one day prior) went into the branch and made a cash withdrawal of $2000 that it appeared suspicious. He said it looked as if "I were cashing out on my account." Without being so much as prodded, I volunteered the fact that the transactions were Zelle payments and that they were from the sale of some BTC that I had owned." I guess I said the magic words that lead to relationship termination and now I find myself in a situation where my funds are being held hostage and I am forced to negotiate with them to try and gain access to them again.

It's now been closing in on 4 weeks that I haven't had access to my own money. They continue to give me the runaround as well. I call in to customer service and they tell me that I'll have to go to my home branch. I speak to my home branch and they say that internal back office is looking into it and they don't know anything else.

And earlier today was the straw that broke the camel's back and made me feel compelled to post.... I called into a local branch (because US Bank telephone customer service had told me that I would need to visit my local branch in order to resolve this issue; they were in fact apparently lying) and explained my situation. The gal was nice enough and she said give her a few minutes to research and she would phone me back with her findings. 10 minutes pass and she calls me back and tells me that the branch manager from my home branch will be giving me an update by days end.

Less than 5 minutes later, I get a call from the Branch Manager. She sounds indignant and talks to me as if I'm a criminal. She says she has researched the account and that there are no plans to release the funds anytime soon. This is after I've been told by the initial contact from the back office that my funds may be held up to 10-15 business days. She says it may take up to 6 months and you may not ever see your funds whatsoever due to involvement in fraud. She stated that the transactions in question were 5 checks. I even asked what checks.....and she proceeded to rattle off the transaction amounts that were in fact the zelle transfers for the btc that I had sold. I corrected her, but she didn't really care. According to the notes on the account and whatever back office told her, I was a criminal.

I have never felt such a feeling for doing nothing wrong. I was utterly in shock and looking back on it now, am not sure why I allowed her to speak to me in that manner. I guess part of me realized that I may in fact have to deal with her again, and better not to make enemies now. Anyways, I had to share. This is absolutely ridiculous. They are holding over 7K and for someone who works for an honest living and attempts to pay his bills on time and be a responsible productive member of society, I'm finding it difficult to stay afloat as they play their games.

I have listed my bike on sale on Polish site (so expected audience are Poles only). One guy contacted me that he wants to buy bike and I should send it to Nigeria. At this point, I have instantly thought that this is scam. However, one thing is disturbing me: he offered to pay with bank transfer (I expected scam to offer payment with PayPal or Western Union). Happens, that I have prepaid card, so I wanted to give him bank account of this card, then take money (so at this point I believe I am unable to lose anything, right?) and then send bike. When I was talking with friends, they suggested, that if this money will happen to be stolen or something, then bank may want it back from me. One of my friends suggested, that I should get BitCoin trader as middleman for safety. So provide Nigerian guy with BitCoin trader's bank account number.

If Nigerian guy is honest and everything will be okay, then he will send money to BitCoin trader, and this one will send BitCoins to me, I will send bike to Nigeria and everyone is happy.

However, if later money will happen to be stolen or something, then looks like, it won't be my problem, is that correct? I have shipped bike, so it cannot be retrieved, however same goes with BitCoins I have received.
