JAN '21 MARKET UPDATE
January 11, 2021
This cryptocurrency sell-off marks the first significant retracement since Thanksgiving's 17% decline. 2021 has seen a relatively straight line move up. After the recent OCC statement allowing banks to clear public blockchain transactions, the move from roughly $27,000 to $42,000 has been more or less without pause.
OCC STATEMENT
January 7, 2021
LLG believes this to be tacit approval for banks to settle transactions on public blockchains. Add to this the fact that the SEC has deemed Bitcoin and Ethereum not to be securities, and this release gives permission to banks to engage with customers in certain cryptocurrencies.
2020 FINAL THOUGHTS
December 29, 2020
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin has just begun, but the needle has yet to move. The Bitcoin revolution spurred on by the global manipulation of all major markets and the fast and furious debasement of fiat currency is in its second inning...
THANKSGIVING SELLOFF
November 27, 2020
The price of Bitcoin fell from $19,500 to $16,200 on news that the Trump administration, in a parting gift to the crypto community, is considering regulating exchanges in such a way as to demand private wallet counterparty addresses. We think this is a temporary selloff that will be met with investors "buying the dip."
BTC APPROACHING 20k
November 24, 2020
The word "bubble" has not been associated with Bitcoin in this latest run-up. Bitcoin has progressed in the collective psyche from a misunderstood technological "tulip bulb", to a market-dominant cryptocurrency, and a legitimate, digital-gold type of investment.
BTC: BUY & HOLD
November 5, 2020
We have been talking about Bitcoin as an important asset allocation for the next one to five years, or longer. The current rally is, in our opinion, the start of a move to significantly higher prices...
PAYPAL EMBRACES BTC
October 21, 2020
Nearly 400 million active users now have access to the cryptocurrency asset class through a familiar platform: PayPal. This includes over 26 million merchants who can accept crypto in exchange for their goods and services, providing an answer to the question, "what can you spend cryptocurrency on?"
WALL STREET & BTC
October 13, 2020
A client of LLG wanted to redeem an investment in a crypto hedge fund in order to buy BTC in his own wallet, but encountered a problem along the way that we helped him overcome...
OCC EMBRACES CRYPTO
October 6, 2020
The Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) has encouraged banks to embrace cryptocurrency. This is bullish for the crypto market, adding to the thesis that Bitcoin (BTC) is here to stay as a new, alternative asset class.
