    Just out of curiosity, do you have any allocation to Bitcoin currently? And do you have allocation to any other crypto still?

    No. I sold everything at the very bottom like a wise investor.

    Just do the opposite of what I do and you'll make out fine. I won't touch crypto again so it's probably in your best interests to buy more.

    Was looking to finish closing the rest of my position at 9965. It went 9955 on bmex before pulling back

    Anyone familiar with bitmex? I’m very new to futures trading. Why don’t they let you place buy orders below your liquidation price on a perpetual contract but if the orders are placed before the liquidation is calculated theyll remain on the book?

    I can’t alter them in any way once I have contracts open.

    Bitcoin dominance at over 60% for the first time since 2017. Yet another of the many signs that this bull run is not retail driven.

    probably depends on the momentum as it gets into that range. If it sits at $17k for a few days i'm sure people will start taking profits whereas if it blasts past $20k there will be a lot of HODLs

    It's the volume that's really nuts here. At least according to Coinmarketcap, the daily volume is about twice that of what it was at its highest point in December of 2017.

    JMO but i'd sit tight if you're still in alts. As soon as btc cools off alts will pump. LTC has a halvening in August I believe which should help you too.

    I'd be careful with that assumption. Last time alts popped on the back of a heavy retail bull market. Basically you had people taking profits from BTC (and probably some from ETH as well) and flipping that to alts. Given that this bull market looks more like an institutionally driven market, I wouldn't assume the behavior will be the same, until (if?) retail hops on and makes some money.

    LTC halvening may help, though, as you say.

    The main reason I'm not buying that is that the market cap for all cryptos combined, per CMC, is currently $362 billion. Here's what it was on some other days:

    June 13th (day before Binance announcement): $263.5 billion
    June 14th: $273 billion
    June 15th: $277 billion

    So since the day of the announcement, all cryptos combined are up about 32.6%.

    Further, Bitcoin's market cap has increased from ~$153 billion on June 14th to ~$223 billion today. So while Bitcoin's market cap has gone up by about $70 billion since June 14th, non-Bitcoin cryptos have gone up by about $19 billion, as well.

    If it were just people trading shitcoins for BTC, and pumping BTC as a result, none of this would be true.

    both can be true. we've had months of stagnation and as soon as BTC shows a pulse, people start buying.
