Thai crypto market feels the pains of global meltdown

Crypto currencies are suffering from fear in the markets .

As the US dollar increases from fear the crypto market decreases at a far greater percentage  than other major currencies.

Buy the US dollar or opt for gold is soon going to be the last resort.

 And neither does Warren Buffet, who prefers stocks and farmland.

Stocks have also been going down.  Farmland is not very liquid sometimes.  It's all a big casino.  Good Luck to us all.

Is gold going to drop or rise in the future?

I am guessing that Gold will go down more or trade sideways for awhile.  As all markets,  Gold is highly manipulated.  I read that is cost around $1,000-$1,200 and ounce to get the gold out of the ground.  As with all manipulated markets,  true cost and fundamentals have little meaning.

Crypto went up because it went up. When the number got big, it drew in new blood as the fad peaked....and newbies were led to the slaughter. Unlikely they will be back, and it should be noted that the number, e.g., of btc holders, soared in 2021 while the price remained flat. That is called 'distribution'.

 

What makes it even scarier now is that the kind of things that drove btc down---over leverage by the likes of Three Arrow Capital that led to forced liquidation---is the same thing keeping it up now. Some big crypto players are trying to be 'saviors'. And how are they doing it?

 

Borrowing money to buy more and posting their existing coins as collateral---which is exactly what drove Three Arrow to bankruptcy (and the principles have skedaddled.)

 

If the downward trend picks up again, lenders to those who've doubled up will be selling the collateral, creating a potential vicious downward spiral.

 

It also is a black mark---and will be noticed by the amateurs who flooded into the 'sure thing'---that many exchanges have limited or halted withdrawals, or are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which means customer assets will be legally blocked while the bankruptcy is carried out. It could take years for customers to see anything at all. Dead money---and dead money of people who were fans of crypto.

Agreed.  But Buffet reasons that everyone needs to eat.  Apparently, Bill Gates feels the same way.  They’re both big landowners.  So good farmland looks like a pretty decent investment today.

My opinion for what it is worth is that the US dollar will loose it's flavour if the federal reserve quick fixes on inflation do not work .

Then gold will become the favoured fear alternative .

In other words , gold is looking a reasonable price today.

Thank you for your question

Who would have thought that the price of BTC falls in Thailand when it falls worldwide. Duh.

Talking to a Thai person a couple weeks ago about the price of gold going down. She said because of the war. I said usually the price goes up in uncertain times like that. Then she went onto say that it didn't matter the price of gold in Thailand was safe and had gone up. I argued a little then I had to produce a graph of Thai gold price to convince her that Thai gold did not stand alone in world gold pricing.

 

Once again Thailand is the hub of the world and all is good. I guess it makes them happy.

Many Thais don't realize that gold is priced in USD  and that exchange rate has a lot to do with the daily gold  price movements.

I explained that all that to her......not really accept.

 

She couldn't afford to buy 25 satang gold so didn't really matter.
