Austrian Gov to issue $1.3b of bonds on ETH public blockchain

Been extremely busy lately, haven't had enough time to keep up with the markets, let alone blog about them.

Things should lighten up for me soon. You can probably expect me to push out content in late Oct and start finalizing and posting my 100+ drafts entries.

Anyway, interesting news, just wanted to share this tidbit.

The Austrian government will be issuing out 1.15b EUR of bonds over the public Ethereum blockchain.

That's right. The PUBLIC chain. The chain that me (and maybe you) holding ETH is part of.

Obviously, this is of no surprise if you read the Nov 17 Project Ubin piece I wrote, crypto securities are one of the lowest hanging fruit to take.

In May 18 I was talking about how crypto securities will be YUGE.

Later in July 18 I followed up with a bit more bullish developments on crypto securities.

Securities being packaged as crypto should not be a surprise. It's blindingly obvious. It's an extremely logical step forward, and the step that many people are taking, planning to take, and will take.

What is actually more interesting is the fact that the issues will be done on the PUBLIC Ethereum blockchain.

Why is this important?

I wrote a post why "blockchain" in itself is not a bullish factor for crypto investors, since "blockchain" does NOT require any cryptocurrency to be used.

A lot of extremely stupid people still get things mixed up and don't bother to learn the difference. Meh.

I don't care as long as I make money. My job isn't an educator. My job is a blogger to write about my experience and views. If you can learn from my sharing, that's fantastic. If not, oh well. Can't save the world, can I?

This bear market is tough, but remember, the only number that matters is on the day you decide to cash out.

The HERD is coming into Crypto!!!

Image
Bought crypto in 2017? Congrats fellow crypto OG on being a verified early adopter. THARMS UP MAN. Buying crypto in 2018? HERD SHEEP FOMO NOOB, get rekt beech! Proof of herd? This . The herd is coming in and buying everything with a face value of under $10, especially things below $1. Madness. Who cares about circulating supply or market cap? Price is the most important thing, right? The next time someone says that the "price is cheap, so it's a better buy", I'm going to shit myself instantly on the spot. I cannot tell you the number of times people told me that they can't buy a crypto because "it's so expensive". *COUGH COUGH COUGH DGD COUGH COUGH COUGH* Anyway, we already knew that this would happen. Just a PSA and FYI, the herd is already here, and half of them are STILL stuck at registration and verification at exchanges. I know someone that has already been waiting 2.5 weeks to be verified. And that was before the alt-coin FOMO boomz and we are...

46% of 2017 ICOs have already failed, Yours is next

Interesting piece for your reading consumption. I'd say the #1 misconception now by intermediate crypto players is the thinking that you "need to do more ICOs to juice up your returns, especially in a sideways / bear market". Meh. Won't say I fully disagree, but I don't think that is very accurate, or else I would be doing that strategy as well. However, I must say that crypto ICOs are extremely skewed with risk and rewards. For some people, going for obscure ICOs and hunting down low cap cryptos - AFTER FILTERING AND ANALYSIS - can prove to be an extremely profitable strategy. Then again, this strategy only works with limited value since you don't want to end up being the only person driving up the price and volume. How can you exit a huge position if the daily trading volume is less than your holdings? ^ This is something that A LOT of people just don't understand. Market freaking depth. Just because the price is $X, that does not mean that you can sell...

Value Investing Case Study: Does it apply to Crypto?

Image
For some reason, I managed to stumble upon this article by Dr Wealth that was written back in Feb 2018 regarding his LTC trade . Simple TLDR is that the NAV was $1.63, but was trading at $0.60. Dr Wealth had quite high confidence in the integrity of the underlying assets, since they were largely in (1) investment properties that are yielding good rental, (2) fixed deposits and (3) cash and bank balances. These kind of assets do not need to be marked down deeply when considering their salvage value. 7 months later, buyout offer with a 54% return from entry. Fantastic trade. This reminded me very much of my Saizen REIT trade which saw me realize a total gain (dividends + gain) of 40.4% over about 1.5 years . I consider it as one of my early masterpieces because of just how sure I was that all the evidence is pointing towards good future gains. Yes, I had strong evidence . Now, buying assets at a discount to NAV is a pretty good strategy if it satisfies some criteria: 1) there should be e...
