I hummmmmmmnnnnnn .... anti-fragile, hive-mind, social network, faith, insurrection, alt-money.

What GBTC I still hold I do so for the kids shadow accounts.

I decided that ...

- BTC is Bitgold, possibly, and certainly in the past was BetterGold.

- MSTR was Bitgold that can also talk.

Should I renew acquaintance with BTC, shall do BTCC or other ETF (one in Europe) and shy away from GBTC. GBTC is not liquid enough for fast exits, and its premium no longer justified with advent of ETFs. May re-do MSTR at some juncture.

Let’s see how bad it gets for BTC. 18K would be okay. 8K would be better than okay, as BTC numbers should have broader implications, for price of everything else denominated in non-BTC.

Re EWZ in earlier move

<< - Shorted calls on EWZ (the Brazil ETF) in some size, strike-35, March 19 expiration; happy to add, and okay to roll, for it is meant to be a longer term short until and after regime-change>> Message 33212478

Made grub-stake, and closed out the earlier shorted-naked-calls position, given the calls are now cheaper than before, and went long calls, to hedge much more direct short of the EWZ ETF, as Brazil deserves the same treatment as does the QQQ, both pleading to be shorted in size. The long calls acts as automatic stop-loss, whereas the long puts in the QQQ case acts as accelerant / enhancer Message 33224745

Am in campaign mode.

Knowing that am short both the QQQ and the EWZ enables better quality fret-less sleep.
