Casper briefly more than doubled my NAV, a giggle as its futures market opened on the 9th April even as its token trading does not start until 4th May I am guessing that the futures market bitz.ai shall remain open even after the Caspers trading starts, because there simply are not enough Caspers at the current low price 1.16, that which is 58X my cost no wonder the techies are having such a good time, and smiles genuine, as the institutions are bum-rushed into the BBQ venue to be exquisitely detailed coinmarketcap.com

Capitol Hill best do nothing to BTC other than the usual KYC / FATCA stuffing If so, BTC rockets to escape velocity If not, then we get to add BTC and wait for Capitol Hill legislations to fail, or Capitol Hill to wave white flag Re the digital dollar, ‘they’ must do it, one or another way By what Powell is saying, he seems to want to help the banks maintain their legacy business. Banks are dead institutions working. bloomberg.com Powell: Need for Digital Dollar Is an Issue for Congress, Public Craig Torres April 12, 2021, 8:08 AM GMT+8 Jerome Powell Photographer: Jim Lo Scalzo/EPA/Bloomberg Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is involved in a large-scale research and development project on the digital dollar, and that questions of whether adopting such a currency would provide a public benefit have yet to be resolved. “It’s a very, very large, complex project. And, you know, this is really just table stakes,” Powell said in an interview with “60 Minutes” on CBS. “This is understanding the technology and the possibilities so that you can really address the policy issues.” The interview with Powell was conducted on Wednesday and broadcast on Sunday. Millions of Americans already perform transactions with systems rather than through physical cash, and the Fed and private banks are moving ahead on real-time payments. Countries from China to Sweden are also testing digital currencies. Powell has said the U.S. doesn’t need to be first, and he’s also noted that any introduction of a new currency format would require congressional input. Biden Team Eyes Potential Threat From China’s Digital Yuan Plans “We have not made a decision to do this because, again, the question is will this benefit the people that we serve?” Powell said on CBS. “And we need to answer that question well. And we need to involve the public and Congress deeply in that process, because it would be an important step if we were to do this.” Fed officials have also said they need to consider how a digital currency would interact with the banking system, as most households currently hold their money in regulated financial institutions that have deposit insurance, access to the Fed for emergency liquidity, and other safeguards.

Re <<Bitcoin>> Wonder how such compensation be taxed. If based on valuation, on what time-stamp? MicroStrategy Pivots to Bitcoin Payouts for Board of Directors Kamaron Leach 12 April 2021, 22:26 GMT+8 MicroStrategy Inc. is pivoting to payouts in Bitcoin for its four independent directors, marrying management closer to the software maker’s strategy of investing in the largest cryptocurrency. Compensation fees for each board member will be based in U.S. dollars and will be converted into Bitcoin during the time of payment. The move is the software-analytics developer’s “commitment to Bitcoin given its ability to serve as a store of value,” the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company said in a filing. Shares in MicroStrategy jumped as much as 4.9% to $745.94 in New York trading. The stock has surged almost 500% in the past year. Chief Executive Officer Michael Saylor has been one of the most vocal corporate advocates of Bitcoin, saying it should be part of any company’s balance sheet. MicroStrategy was one of the first public companies to invest a significant portion of its treasury into the digital currency. Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal. LEARN MORE
