Quick look at BTC – Patience is the name of todays game..
I’m seeing people confirming bull markets and other (dare I say ridiculous) statements floating around the internet, as happens every time price moves up. Unfortunately, most people can only see what they want to see.. Granted, this is a significant move, but at the moment I don’t see it going much higher anywhere soon. The bottled up hope that is released by the whole space every time goes up a few hundred points may again be the fuel added onto the selling fire..
We topped around the top if the gray resistance box, where if you were in this trade should have taken at least some profit at that point. The entry signal printed yesterday, when the ribbon turned after having seen L2 and L1 signals. If you missed the trade, you’re late to the party. Now we wait until the indicator prints either a red dot reversal signal and we get a reversal candle to go short (and this happens at the highs..). Or for price to pull back to the ribbon and for a L1 signal to go long. Either way, at the moment I would not consider entering any positions, as this smells like a trap… So now, we wait.. Patience is key, if you don’t have it, you should not be trading.
Europian Union countries are exploring the idea of imposing an EU-wide account freeze measure to prevent potential bank runs. Could bitcoin provide a viable alternative to secure depositors’ funds?
Preventing the Chaos
European Union states have proposed a which would effectively allow them to freeze bank accounts before a bank run takes place. The measure was planned earlier this year in order to prevent bank runs similar to that of last month. The proposal wants to prevent depositors from pushing over the edge banks that are already failing or will likely fail.
According to EU rules, each depositor that has less than 100,000 euros deposited in a bank account is insured from a bank run. But under the new plan, a potential bank run could force the supervisors to freeze bank accounts of all depositors, and thus freeze withdraws from bank accounts.
Charlie Bannister, of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME), noted following:
We strongly believe that this would incentivize depositors to run from a bank at an early stage,
Countries that already have a moratorium on bank payouts, like Germany, have strongly supported this new plan. According to a person familiar with German government’s thinking:
The desire is to prevent a bank run, so that when a bank is in a critical situation it is not pushed over the edge,
Back in 2013, was a hair’s breadth away from a total economic collapse. Cypriot banks were desperate for a bailout from the and IMF and many account holders feared that their deposits would vanish. This fear caused a classic bank run and people were rushing to banks and ATMs in order to withdraw as much money as they could.
Inevitably, cash became scarce and the ATMs stopped working. Many saw bitcoin as the last option to secure their funds. The crazy demand from Cyprus for bitcoin caused the digital currency’s value to rise from $47 to $88 – an increase of over 88 percent! With the EU’s new proposal, many believe that bitcoin can once again be a safe way for depositors to secure their funds from a bank run.
What are your thoughts on this new proposal? Do you think that it will prevent bank runs? Will bitcoin be able to save depositors again from a bank run? Let us know in the comments below!
