Describing the cryptocurrency world

What Should We Think of Galaxy Digital Holdings?

I have taken a small position in Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX-GLXY), a Toronto Venture exchange company with an opaque share structure and very low liquidity. On an average day about $50k of stock is traded. The stock closed today just above $2 and there is 66.93 million shares out, giving it a market cap of just under $130 million.… Read More »

Speculating in Bitcoin is Stupid and Risky, With One Exception

Regular readers of my newsletter know I never indulge in buying or selling Bitcoin futures without covering my positions, or “hedging” so to speak. It’s an iron-clad rule I never break. Never ever buy a futures contract without covering position. Never put yourself in a position to lose money. Except for yesterday. I broke the rule. I went… Read More »

Hut 8 is a Cash Machine and Nobody Cares

Time for a sanity check. With Bitcoin above $11 K USD (at least for now), market cap is $210 billion. Let’s compare bitcoin with other world currencies: 1.    The M1 supply of Canada’s currency was $777 billion USD in May 2019. 2.    M1 supply of Singapore was $137.5 billion in the same month. 3.    M1 supply of Japan, second-largest economy in the world: $7.42 trillion. 4.    And… Read More »

Why I Never Talk About Altcoins (But Should I Start)?

This chart should explain everything: For all of 2019, I have been writing about bitcoin and ignoring the rest of the cryptocurrency universe. The reason is simple: Excluding Litecoin and Binance coin (and I will discuss those coins in a minute), the returns on altcoins this year have been subpar. If you are an owner of Ripple or… Read More »
