Sotheby’s owns an art index, which compiles repeat sales data for over 60,000 works of art, which is used to track the overall performance of the art world. While most normal people cannot fathom the idea of buying some paint on canvas for $200m, it’s important to know there are troglodytes out there who need stores of value and vessels to launder their hard earned stolen cash.
Sotheby’s Mei Moses Index, fuckery largess
This brings me to my next suggestion. Keep buying BTC and ETH, do so every month, until BTC is $100,000 and ETH is $2,500. The world hasn’t ever had an illicit money laundering vessel like cryptos, ever. Forget about art and wine and real estate. Why, you can digitally move $100m today via a series of crypto currencies, move it across national borders, all undetected by god fearing authorities, who are busy perusing Twitter for people to track and target.
If you’re wondering why I am bullish on ETH, this is the main driver for me — illicit movement of value.
I hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

I don’t even know where to start. Sorry Fly, this is wrong on many levels.
Prove it, friendo.

Indeed, bought a pittance on the dip this / last AM.
In the old days when the troops were marching toward your city; you had to grab what you could carry, leave your home, business and run with nothing but the clothes on your back and your life. Now you can take a bit more with you.
A true game changer. Crypto, the hardest money in the history of the world. Harder than diamonds.
A big chunk of artwork, collectables, real estate, precious metals… simply served to maintain purchasing power and delay tax.
In the years ahead, crypto with eat all their lunches. Why have millions tied up in real estate when you can send a cool billion across the world in minutes, with a cut & paste.
As we speak, the largest wealth transfer in the history of the world is occurring.
For the 1st time ever, Joey bag-o-donuts can outflank Wall St & Silicon Valley.
Stop dithering you blithering idiots. Take Fly’s advice. Time is very short!
Soon your chance will be slip through your fingers like the fine sand of time.
Your longtime trusted custodian can transfer the value from your accounts and cash with the stroke of a pen over any given weekend. Not your keys; not your coins.
In your checking account – your short-term expenses. And then you line of credit. Net zero. Can only happen without warning. And it will.
Sorry for the typo’s above.

Smart guy; but misses crypto.
At a half $trillion in collective value, crypto it is not much threat to the powers that be. If/when it becomes a threat, it will be crushed. Power resides in those who control missiles, banks, and such …not works of art.
You’re missing the point. It will be an invaluable tool for said “powers”.
The powers that be are USD-based. But yes, it might be a tool that competing powers could use to fuck with our God-given right to have the world’s reserve currency. The only way the existing powers might want to use it (or even why they may have created it) is as a distraction – – a benign dollar-alternative outlet for those who were whining about how the dollar ought to once-again be tied to something finite.
Anyway, can’t buy a pizza with crypto, the transaction costs are too high. Can’t buy an oil tanker full of oil with crypto without the US Navy taking it away from you. Our MICwarmongering is funded with funny money; if crypto ever grew to threaten that …well empires usually go down in bloody conflict, not in a pleasant transfer of power to some new group of technogeeks. Still, I don’t have a clue how it plays out. I have zero cryptos but in the midst of all this crypto excitement, I started back into PMs last week.
You can buy a pizza with crypto. Companies offer debit cards. You convert crypto to currency as needed on your card and buy whatever you want. It’s as simple as switching money from your savings account to checking. Some offer % of crypto back on purchases.
Some think the digital dollar is on the way, soon. But that will be like beer (BTC, etc) and near-beer (Digital USD).
Rooting for pleasant transfer; betting on bloody conflict.
Pic of your crypto holding or I don’t believe it. Nobody who has any holding of BTC or ETH would be so ignorant as you, as demonstrated in this post. So many wrongs…
I am amused that stocks are perceived as relatively “safe” vis-a-vis crypto in 2020.
Big tech to Harris is like Lockheed and Halliburton to Cheney. So much serious money still to be made.
“I am amused that stocks are perceived as relatively “safe” vis-a-vis crypto in 2020.”
Agreed!
I was too young to be trading Nasdaq futures back in the late 90s, but now I get how easy it was to make millions back then.
This time it’s much more obvious, and there’s real earnings in this bubble.
Exactly, this bubble is going to be the creme de la creme…
I know this post would bring out all of the cryptofags. Illicit transfer of value. That is all.
As for my crypto holdings, I have no desire to convince you of anything, other than the fact that they will trade higher.
Good day
