i've always despised #bitcoin
but i understand the *concept* of starry eyed #techbros being into #crypto in the 2010s, when it was new and non-bitcoin projects like #ethereum were taking off. i don't buy the #hype, but some did
but now?
they left it, right?
they see it is, and always was, just #degenerates being milked by #whales via #marketManipulation
it's a tax on #stupidity
who is still doing crypto?
oh right: #criminals and #plutocrats and a #cult of #financial patsies

On April 17, nearly $2 billion in Brent, WTI, gasoil & #gasoline #futures were sold at 1224-1225 GMT, MINUTES before Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said #Hormuz would reopen, followed by multiple social media posts by #Trump & #US officials. On April 21, some $830 million worth of Brent & WTI contracts were sold just 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire.

Trump's March 23 ceasefire announcement triggered a decline in crude futures of as much as 15%, one of the largest intraday drops on record. The announcement also sent #gasoline & gasoil #futures down around 12%.
On April 7, sell orders on #oil & gasoline prices worth $2.12 billion took place between 1944 & 1945 GMT, well after the market settled, a time when volumes are usually thin. MINUTES later, #Trump announced a 2-week ceasefire with #Iran.

The trades look "well informed" as they preceded major announcements, said Adi Imsirovic, from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (#CSIS), & a veteran #oil trader. #US authorities, such as the #CFTC, can access #exchange data to trace who placed the trades & investigate if it decides to, he added.
The CFTC’s enforcement director said in March the agency was aware of speculation regarding #InsiderTrading in CFTC-regulated #markets & was “watching”. -
…However, a further analysis of #trading data across exchanges & contracts showed traders executed similar bets at exactly the same dates & times for European #diesel & #US #gasoline #futures as well as longer-dated contracts for Brent & WTI, bringing the total to around $7 billion, based on Reuters calculations.

The same pattern repeated on April 7, before #Trump announced a ceasefire with #Iran that triggered a fall of as much as 15% in benchmark ICE Brent #futures. It happened again on April 17, when Iranian officials & Trump spoke about reopening the #StraitOfHormuz, & then again on April 21, when Trump extended the ceasefire.

The size exceeds previously reported bets amounting to $2.6 billion, which have already prompted the #Trump admin to warn “staff” against using nonpublic information for financial benefit. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (#CFTC) is investigating, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters in April, although the CFTC has yet to officially confirm a probe is underway.
