Wild West Crypto Show Emerges from Election Uncertainty

It was another week at the speed of crypto, as the Wild West Crypto Show emerged from election uncertainty. Bitcoin, says hosts Drew Taylor and Brent Bates on Episode 135, is running like a deer. Over the past month, price of the cryptocurrency rose by over 47 percent. On October 17, it was at $11,367.80. By November 16, it had climbed to $16,743.00. Manny Alicandro was back on the show. The New York City-based attorney is a frequent contributor. Another fixture of the weekly show, Jonathan Keim, Communications Director of CryptoCurrencyWire, appeared with his usual trio of news developments.

He kicked off his Weekly News Update with a report that: US Fed economists are exploring the ‘intrinsic’ value drivers of CBDCs (https://ccw.fm/LiKvH). CBDCs are digital currencies issued by a central bank. They appear to differ from regular fiat currencies by being directly issued to consumers rather than through the banking system. The Fed is considering the possibility of issuing such a CBDC and has initiated a study to explore “the potential impact of a digital dollar on commercial banking and monetary policy.”

Other countries, notably China, have already launched digital currency programs. In October, the People’s Bank of China distributed 200 digital yuan ($29.75) each to 50,000 randomly selected consumers with online digital wallets, in a pilot project to test the waters. Central banks around the world are considering CBDCs, concerned that growing use of cryptocurrencies may reduce their ability to manage local monetary systems and economies, to detrimental effect.

In other news:  Fund execs offer $1M bets that Bitcoin’s S2F model won’t come true (https://ccw.fm/3Wvo6). Two executives at crypto hedge funds are prepared to place bets against the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model, developed by Dutch investor Plan B, which predicts a price of $100,000-$288,000 before December 2021. Eric Wall, chief investment officer of crypto hedge fund Arcane Assets, is willing to stake $1 million that the prediction will fail. He’s so sure, he’s extended the wager period to 2025. And Ari Paul, CIO at BlockTower Capital, says he would give 3:1 odds on the same bet against the S2F model, which means he’ll gain $1 million if he wins and have to pay out $3 million if he loses.
