Thanks to everyone who voted!
The USD 100k mark could not be $BTC (+0%) yesterday, even though it was very close and the ATH was reached in EUR.
Congratulations to the 25% who saw this! Once again, the minority was right. 🥰
We'll see if the magic mark is broken next week. The chances are good. ✨

If then now at the WE. But I think this is the end of the line for now. The big regrouping will begin. I therefore think that the selling pressure in $BTC will now steadily increase if large investors do not take over the units.

New control loops through institutions? 🔄
Bitcoin is a global, self-regulating system that is constantly growing and adapting. I have already written an article on the economic and technical control loops of Bitcoin, which you can find here: https://getqu.in/J56y9P/
The Bitcoin price has risen sharply in recent weeks and we are currently close to the magical $100,000 mark. Recently, on November 19, options trading also started for the Bitcoin Spot ETFs approved in January and the shares of the company of Bitcoin giga-bull Michael Saylor $MSTR (+2,08%) has seen incredible gains in the meantime, rising more than 10% for several days in a row, resulting in a valuation of three times its Bitcoin holdings...
You're probably thinking to yourself "Get to the point and don't start writing a tabloid article here!" - as @Ash would say now: Rightly so!
That's why I'll cut a long story short: I think new, very powerful, control loops of institutions are crystallizing, which once again interlock perfectly. And that's exactly what I want to explain to you in this article 🫡
The flywheel from MicroStrategy🛞
What exactly is Saylor or MicroStrategy playing at?
(1) Raising capital
MicroStrategy uses various methods to generate new capital. They issue new shares on the one hand and convertible bonds on the other.
Issuing new shares is relatively self-explanatory. Convertible bonds mean that they issue normal bonds, so to speak - but at an interest rate close to 0%. In return, however, the buyers of the convertible bond receive an option to exchange the bonds for Microstrategy shares at the end of the term - at a predetermined price. Investors who expect Bitcoin to rise and Microstrategy's share price to increase are therefore willing to provide Microstrategy with their capital at low interest rates, as they hope to receive Microstrategy's shares at a greatly reduced price in the future.
(2) Bitcoin purchases
They use this capital to buy Bitcoin - and not in short supply. Over the next 3 years, Microstrategy wants to buy 42 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin in this way. Microstrategy is thus reducing the supply of Bitcoin on the market. The purchases are effective in terms of publicity, other companies may want to imitate Microstrategy, etc.
What do I mean by that? These massive purchases cause the Bitcoin price to rise.
(3) Increase in the value of the company
The rising Bitcoin price increases the value of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings. As a result, the share price of MicroStrategy itself also increases.
(4) Raising capital again
With this increased company value, MicroStrategy can raise capital again (issue new shares or convertible bonds again) and the game starts all over again.
The options market
With the launch of options on the Bitcoin ETFs, a new, gigantic market with a daily trading volume of around 2.4 trillion dollars hits Bitcoin.
What is the Bitcoin options market?
Options are basically bets on the future price of Bitcoin. Most of you will probably know this, but here's a brief explanation:
- Call options: You secure the right to buy Bitcoin at a fixed price in the future. You are therefore betting on rising prices.
- Put options: Here you secure the right to sell Bitcoin at a fixed price. You are therefore betting on falling prices.
On the first trading day of the options $1.9 billion in volume was traded - and 80% of these were call optionsi.e. bets on rising prices.
Delta hedging by market makers
Now it gets exciting. As soon as market makers (the providers of these options) sell options, they have to hedge - this is called delta hedging. How does this work?
Hedging through Bitcoin purchases
When you buy a call option, the market maker has to make sure that he can also deliver Bitcoin if the price really rises. To do this, he buys some of the required Bitcoin in advance to hedge his position.
(1) Price increase
These purchases also drive up the price of Bitcoin - especially if many call options are bought (as is currently the case).
(2) Adjustment of the hedge
If the price of Bitcoin continues to rise, the value of the call options increases. The market maker has to buy even more Bitcoin in order to hedge further, which is again a self-reinforcing effect.
-> The hedging of the call options themselves therefore leads to price increases - especially in the case of an absolutely limited commodity such as Bitcoin - which the market makers must in turn protect themselves against - by doing what? Buy more Bitcoin, of course!
The synergy of the flywheels
These two mechanisms - MicroStrategy and the options market - reinforce each other and create a dynamic that can drive the price of Bitcoin higher and higher.
(1) MicroStrategy's purchases drive the Bitcoin price
Every MicroStrategy purchase removes available Bitcoin from the market. The scarce supply causes the price to rise.
(2) Rising prices increase the demand for options:
Investors see the price rise and bet on further price gains via call options.
(3) Delta hedging increases purchases:
Market makers buy Bitcoin to hedge their risks, which drives the price up further.
And now imagine if the US were to actually create a strategic Bitcoin reserve... that would probably result in an absolute omega flywheel😂
I don't currently believe that this will happen any time soon, but who knows👀
Conclusion: A new era for Bitcoin
The institutional control loops show how Bitcoin is being driven by new market mechanisms. With companies, financial markets and possibly soon states actively participating, Bitcoin is on the cusp of a new era.
The only question is whether these flywheels could turn the other way in a potential next bear market...
I hope I have been able to give you some insight into the "institutional control loops". Do you currently see other control loops? Then please write to me at Kommentare⤵️
Have a nice evening and here's to cracking the 100k-Marke✌️ soon

I also offer donkey convertible bonds. You buy some for getquin coins (just send them to my pinned post in my profile) and in 10 years you get the option to buy a part of my wild mane for 1 $BTC. How does that sound to you?

Hey Community,
I want to try making more focused post about my portfolio, why a make a buy, why a make a transaction and switch assets. I would love to know what you think of it! There is crypto in here hold on tight :)
My portfolio reflects a strategy focused on diversification and growth, with positions in traditional investment products like ETFs and government bonds, as well as in more speculative assets like cryptocurrencies. This provides a mix of stability and potentially high returns. Below, I analyze the key components of my portfolio, discussing both the positive aspects and risks.
Traditional Investments: Stability and Growth
$IWDA (+1,13%)
iShares Core MSCI World ETF
This is a core position in my portfolio, valued at €16,389.62, representing a growth of +6.67%. This ETF offers global diversification, targeting large- and mid-cap companies in developed markets.
- Positive: Global diversification reduces risk, and the ETF provides solid long-term returns.
- Risk: Extremely low. At my age, with plenty of time for steady growth, this is perfect for me to hold a larger portion of my portfolio here.
$CSPX (+1,03%)
iShares Core S&P 500 ETF
This ETF targets the top 500 companies in the U.S. and has grown by +21.29%. It is one of the top performers in my portfolio.
- Positive: Strong performance thanks to the robust U.S. economy and growing tech companies.
- Risk: Concentration in the U.S. market could pose a risk during an economic downturn in the U.S. With Trump potentially influencing markets positively, I feel the U.S. market may continue to perform well, despite being at high levels.
German Government Bonds
With a value of €6,153.72 and modest growth of +1.21%, this position provides stability.
- Positive: Ideal as a buffer against volatile markets.
- Risk: Low returns, especially in a rising interest rate environment. My plan is to lock up a portion of my savings or funds I might need quickly in the future in these government bonds. In Belgium, 0% bonds remain the most interesting option due to high taxes on interest or dividends.
As one of Europe’s tech giants, ASML is a strong yet volatile position. While the stock is currently down -2.76%, the technology behind semiconductors remains essential.
- Positive: Market leader in lithography machines, critical for the tech sector.
- Risk: The cyclical nature of the chip industry can lead to volatility. As a result, I’ve kept the position in this individual stock relatively small.
VanEck Semiconductor ETFVanEck Semiconductor ETF
This ETF has almost doubled (+94.66%), strengthening my exposure to the semiconductor industry.
- Positive: Thriving sector due to increasing demand for chips.
- Risk: Higher sensitivity to economic cycles.
Cryptocurrencies: Speculative Yet Promising
$$HBAR (+0,81%)
edera Hashgraph
With a growth of +115.13%, this is one of the star performers in my crypto portfolio. Hedera focuses on fast and inexpensive transactions.
- Positive: Innovative technology and a strong focus on sustainability.
- Risk: Dependence on adoption by large corporations.
$TRIAS (-2,15%)
Trias Token
This coin has shown a decline of -15.09% but offers long-term potential due to its focus on secure computing.
- Positive: Innovative project with niche applications. I had a x5 on the coin, stupid me hold on nog waiting to make a gain again and say goodbye to the coin.
- Risk: Lesser-known and lower liquidity. Consider this a gamble, but it’s a risk I can afford for this amount.
$BTC (+0%)
Bitcoin
The king of the crypto market has grown by +135.28% and remains a solid investment in my portfolio.
- Positive: Widely accepted and proven asset.
- Risk: High volatility and reliance on market adoption.
$KAS (-0,31%)
Kaspa
This altcoin has shown an impressive growth of +33.78%.
- Positive: Fast transaction capabilities and a growing ecosystem.
- Risk: Competition from other layer-1 blockchains.
$CPOOL (-2,56%)
Clearpool
With +30.25% growth, this coin has performed well, focusing on decentralized finance (DeFi).
- Positive: Strong position in the emerging DeFi sector.
- Risk: High regulatory and security risks within DeFi.
$ETH (-0,17%)
Ethereum
Ethereum has grown by +214.17%. I plan to hold until after the potential dip Bitcoin ($BTC) may experience upon reaching the magical $100,000 mark.
- Positive: Fundamental platform for smart contracts.
- Risk: Competition and potential network issues.

Either the sell wall is bought up or taken out shortly beforehand. Then the way would be clear. Source: https://coinlobster.com/

5% and rising: Why I'm investing more in Bitcoin now
Although I normally invest cautiously and focus on broad diversification, I have decided to further expand my investment in Bitcoin. It currently makes up $BTC (+0%) about 5% of my portfolio, but the trend is rising. The main reason for this is the potential for long-term gains, which has become increasingly apparent with the development of Bitcoin in recent years.
Bitcoin has not only generated remarkable returns in recent years, but also offers me an opportunity to diversify my portfolio more. Especially in times when traditional markets are volatile, Bitcoin offers an interesting alternative. Such diversification can better spread the risk in my portfolio and at the same time create an opportunity for attractive value growth.
Of course, investing in Bitcoin is still associated with risks. Price fluctuations are a constant companion and can also result in losses in the short term. But in the long term, I see Bitcoin as an opportunity to participate in a growth market that is becoming increasingly established.
My focus therefore remains on a good balance and sensible diversification. I continue to see potential in this strategy for a stable and at the same time profit-oriented investment - and that is why I will continue to increase the proportion of Bitcoin in my portfolio in the future.
@Testo-Investor will be pleased🫡

A document that every Shitcoin trader / "investor" should know. "The Game of Deception" aka god.pdf from 2014 after the first big Dogecoin pump.
I recommend reading it carefully before putting your money into any shitcoins.
"But Gernhard, Coin XYZ is not a shitcoin and will replace Bitcoin". No. All these coins/tokens have the sole purpose of taking money out of the pockets of the plebs. Deal with it.
