Sailor’s “Parade of the Terrible”
Seller, one of bitcoin’s most high-profile bulls, which contributes to the high volatility in BTC prices and thus unattractive to most institutional investors, includes widespread wash trading and a lot of unregistered exchanges with questionable practices.
,Crypto exchanges, offshore and onshore, are unregistered, unregulated and offer 20x leverageThat said, these exchanges do not have “mature Chinese walls” and thus they launch tokens, leak listing information and enable all kinds of practices that affect the market.
Then there’s that blot of 19,000 unregistered securities whose trades are “cross collateralized with bitcoin.
,You have a $400 billion cloud of opaque, unregistered securities trading without full and fair disclosure, and they are all cross-collateralized with bitcoin.,
What about the “wildcard” crypto banks that are now collapsing? He says that crypto funds are accumulating billions of customers on questionable projects, resulting in problems in the bitcoin market. According to him, some crypto projects are currently facing liquidity problems and potential collapse.
To the public, Saylor offers a cautionary tale:
,The general public should not buy unregistered securities from wildcat bankers which may or may not happen next Thursday,
