Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is experiencing a volatile relief rally driven by a combination of a derivatives-led short squeeze and shifting market sentiment regarding U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations. The community remains heavily divided, with bulls pointing to institutional accumulation as a foundation for growth while bears dismiss the price action as a temporary trap ahead of potential geopolitical escalation.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 - Units of beneficial interest

The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) is experiencing high volatility as markets react to conflicting headlines regarding a potential ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with traders debating whether the latest extension of the diplomatic deadline is a genuine breakthrough or a strategic stall. The community remains deeply divided, with many expressing skepticism over the veracity of news sources while others remain focused on the potential for massive, policy-driven market swings.

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.   The platform hosts over $14 billion in DeFi applications with hundreds of thousands of active users across financial protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Its transition to Proof of Stake in September 2022 reduced energy consumption by over 99%, addressing environmental concerns while strengthening network security.  The network operates through thousands of independent validator nodes that process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart contracts are self-executing programs written in Solidity that automatically carry out agreements when conditions are met, eliminating intermediaries like banks or brokers.   Validators stake ETH as collateral to propose and validate blocks, earning rewards for honest participation while facing penalties for malicious behavior. The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a dynamic base fee mechanism that burns ETH with each transaction, creating deflationary pressure during high network activity when more ETH is burned than issued to validators.  Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum in 2013, but seven co-founders helped build it, including Gavin Wood who created Solidity and the EVM technical specification, and Joseph Lubin who founded ConsenSys. The project launched in July 2015 after raising over $18 million through crowdfunding, quickly becoming the largest blockchain developer community. Major milestones include the 2020 Beacon Chain launch, the 2021 London hard fork implementing fee burning, and the 2022 Merge to Proof of Stake.   Ether (ETH) serves multiple functions: paying transaction fees (gas), staking to secure the network and earn 3-5% annual yields, serving as collateral in DeFi protocols, and purchasing NFTs and digital assets. The asset is increasingly adopted by traditional institutions, with publicly traded companies adding ETH to corporate treasuries to generate staking yields while maintaining blockchain exposure, and in 2024, the SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure through conventional brokerage accounts.  Ethereum's roadmap focuses on dramatically increasing transaction capacity to over 100,000 per second, reducing confirmation times, and enhancing decentralization while maintaining security against future threats like quantum computing.

$B What could be more obvious?  One of the big 3 gold miners in the O&#39;Neil buy zone? Blue dot.  99 composite ranking (perfect) gotta buy it, right?  Well, I&#39;m long at $20.39 but I can tell you with almost certainty it will see $19 before $22. The obvious seldom works on Wall Street.  Also, full moon on 4/12 and according to Tom McClellan that suggests gold accelerates it&#39;s trend or reverses.

@ajb_2010 younger traders haven’t experienced gold fever. It may or not happen since  bitcoin is an attractive alternative. But it’s wild how cheap the miners are relative to their potential earnings if gold doesn’t collapse.

@AskLou @ajb_2010 Barrick is tricky and has been range bound for practically a decade. I know as I&#39;ve been in and out of it for at least that long, having held it for too long during that period for too long to watch it go nowhere. $15 - $32 has been the range with resistance levels at $17.5, $22.5 and then big one at $28 - $32 zone. I&#39;ve only made money where I have traded those levels or have bought at long term support at $15 and collected dividends which have underperformed by a lot to the overall market.  
 
All that said, I was looking at a higher-level chart (weekly) and saw a massive bullish engulfing candle. With the mess last week, Barrick completely shrugged that off. I looked back through the charts and could not find another candle like this, 2008 financial crisis, taper tantrum, covid, nothing even close. Furthermore, no other sectors that I saw showed a candle like this, not tech, financials, nothing. Thoughts?

@junior2305 @ajb_2010 I hear you. It’s not worked but if it ever will work, now should be the time. If gold has topped I’ll exit quickly, but if gold still has legs, and I think it does, this can have an epic catch up move. Gold is incredibly under owned buy both retail and institutions. We will see, and what else is working in this correction?

@AskLou @ajb_2010 Thier costs have hurt them (NEM especially). Some of us have been quite frustrated where Barrick hit 32 with gold at $1900 an ounce back during covid and now it’s struggled to stay in the 20’s. To me that shows institutions, the big money just do not put capital to work here and if they do they just rent a position. All that said, that goes back to how under owned they are. If one positive, with as tiny these are in the over all market it won’t take much volume to influence momentum positively. If they can out perform regarding cash flows and earnings (where other sectors are down and underperforming) they will get a window for appreciation. We’ll see. Thanks for your inputs.
