🚨 BREAKING

🇺🇸 FED JUST OFFICIALLY PAUSED INTEREST RATE CUTS UNTIL 2027!

NO RATE CUT MEANS THEY’RE STILL CAUTIOUS AND NOT TURNING ON THE MONEY PRINTER.

NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR RISK ASSETS…

Liquidation Levels - 6:30pm Jan 29th

#Binance will continue to sell assets to eliminate these leverage long positions. Unless the price appreciates fast new longs will enter and they will sell assets again to flush again. This is how crypto markets work until they are regulated.

What should you do?

Wait for the flushes, buy spot crypto and move to self custody. Do not use leverage unless it is extermely low. Leverage is a loan from Binance which they will collect every time. In this bullish macro landscape traders are longing crypto and #Binance is preying on this bullishness.

the world wants another version of Bitcoin…. That is Litecoin

[Justin Bons @Justin_Bons]

Crypto is absurd;

The top 3 chains are nonsense, that is if we are honest with ourselves:

BTC has no capacity, programmability & no long-term security, or scarcity!

ETH also pivoted to reject utility, only to become a worse version of BTC...

All while XRP remains centralized!

It’s ironic that $FIL is valued in the billions, while $STOS a far more advanced decentralized storage protocol—is sitting at just $26M.

The future of storage is decentralized, scalable, and wide open for innovation!

Crypto will enable a economic renaissance by reducing the cost of operating any business.

Few underatand how difficult and expensive it is to operate a business anywhere in the world due to the inflated and greedy intermediaries backed by the Banking Cartel. By adopting public blockchains, EVERY one of these expenses is removed, efficientcy goes up 75%, accounting costs go down significantly, the entire economy is instantly rejuvenated with a systemic removal of friction from the banking system and their beauracratic allies. Lets break it down:

Accepting credit and debit card payments as a business involves several types of costs, which can significantly impact your operational expenses. Here's a breakdown of these costs:

1. Interchange Fees
Credit Cards: These are charged by the card issuer (bank) and can range from 1.5% to 3.5% per transaction, depending on the card type (e.g., rewards cards often cost more). For instance, @Visa and @Mastercard typically have interchange rates around 1.46% + $0.05 to 2.96% + $0.10 per transaction.
Debit Cards: Generally lower, often a flat fee or a small percentage, like 0.05% + $0.21 per transaction for regulated debit transactions from banks with over $10 billion in assets due to the Durbin Amendment.

2. Merchant Service Provider (MSP) Fees
Processing Fees: These are charges by your payment processor for facilitating transactions. They can include:
Flat Rate: A fixed percentage of each transaction, often around 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction for both credit and debit.
Interchange-Plus Pricing: Where you pay the interchange fee plus a small fixed markup (e.g., 0.18% + $0.10) by the processor.
Tiered Pricing: Transactions are categorized into tiers, with each tier having a different rate, potentially making debit card transactions costlier if miscategorized.

3. Transaction Fees

Per-Transaction Fee: A small fee charged for each transaction, which might be a few cents to cover the cost of processing.

4. Monthly or Annual Fees

Account Maintenance: Some providers charge a monthly fee for maintaining your merchant account.
Terminal Rental: If you don't purchase card processing equipment outright, you might rent it, leading to monthly terminal fees.

PCI Compliance Fees: To comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, there might be an annual or monthly fee.

6. Gateway Fees

If your business operates online, you'll need a payment gateway to secure transactions, which might come with additional fees.

7. Equipment Costs

Initial investment in hardware like card readers, POS systems, or mobile payment devices. Some providers offer these for free, but there might be a cost over time or if you need upgrades.

8. Surcharge Management

If you choose to pass some of the credit card processing costs onto customers, there are rules and potential costs involved in managing surcharges or offering cash discounts.

9. Security and Fraud Prevention

While not always a direct cost, ensuring security can involve investments in secure payment systems, fraud detection software, or insurance against fraud.

10. Miscellaneous Costs

Early termination fees if you're locked into a contract, setup fees, or application fees for new merchant accounts.

These 10 expense are all REMOVED entirely by adopting crypto as a business. All a business requires to accept crypto payments is an internet connection and a free crypto wallet on a mobile phone or desktop computer. Thats it.

Additionally because the blockchain is transparent, the cost of accounting with accountants, auditors, general ledger software licenses and backoffice employees is also REMOVED.

By just adopting existing and tested crypto networks countries will boost their GDP, lower inflation and remove the friction from starting and growing a business.

You dont know this because the intermediaries that make this friction will all be REDUNDANT.

Ask yourself, who wouldnt want this?
