Jan 20 (Reuters) - New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday said his first paycheck, to arrive on Friday, will be automatically converted into cryptocurrency via Coinbase Global Inc (COIN.O).
The salary will be converted to Ethereum and Bitcoin, the statement added.

but investing in a "currency" that can lose 26.7% (Bitcoin) or 36.3% (Ethereum) of its value in 3 weeks (these are 2022 YTD price movements) for no too obvious a reason is too speculative for me even if it might double in the next 3 weeks. The same goes for non fungible tokens.

How can a crypto currency, with no business, no company running it, no "owners", no employees, have "insider trading"?

I cannot speak for 1nvest, but I assumed he was referring to the fact that there are a small number of individuals who hold vast amounts of BTC (known as 'whales'). They can trade between themselves and drive (manipulate) the market direction if they choose. This is apparently known to have happened in the past. Not sure if that is legal with shares? I would imagine this is even more true for 'altcoins', but I am speculating (no pun intended....).

If "manipulation" was possible as you describe, and they are trading amongst themselves, and each own large holdings, why would one side of that trade "allow" themselves to be manipulated against?

Is BTC still a bubble?
Cos it's rocketed of late. I'm assuming this is due of the launch of some ETFs to aimed as a simple vehicle to get a position.

The Bitcoin ETFs, though barely six weeks old, have taken in over $8 billion more than gold peers, already have 40% as much in assets and could pass them in size in less than two years.

Found myself here after a user posted a link in an MSE forum (not the Bitcoin thread) - cheers to whoever that was.
That Bitcoin thread is 300+ pages long filled with some very polarising views, as you can imagine.
I could do with brushing up on some TradFi things so I'm going to have a look around. I have an old work pension from UK, a private pension in Gibraltar (where I live now) and an HL account where I do some dabbling in S&S ISA stuff.
Probably more interesting, I've been working in Crypto since early 2018 and I'm the COO of a Gibraltar regulated crypto trading firm.
Looking forward to some heated debates with a fresh group of "Boomers"

No CGT in Gib, luckily.
