HSBC

Summary
  • HSBC is raising the minimum annual income for new credit card applicants to $65,000 from 1st Oct to focus on more affluent clients.
  • Existing HSBC customers with total balances of $50,000+ still only need $30,000 income. Other banks like DBS, UOB, and Citi remain at $30,000.
  • Experts note HSBC is becoming more selective and focusing on affluent clients globally, but middle-income consumers have alternatives with other banks.
 
innocent greedy morons, please wake the fuck up before your parents have to bail you out with their life savings
move fiat money to stablecoin and when everyone is in....devalue the stablecoin by 50%......US national debt less by 50%...., fucking yankees


Leemember we must be fair and not Over tax the rich…it will be more fair if we share the burden together??
 
But the physical dollar note will become scarce. One day, computer down, digital money wiped out or hacked. Then hosey Liao.
Then more reason to use false flag to tighten control with “digital currency” - that is impossible to do with fiat paper currency at a wide scale

Be careful of all these digital, it's being traced & likely monitored. Worse kenna frozen. Then like bank got to pay for depositing & using facilities. Cash in my pocket or Milo tin is still safer.
 
bro...........you got play cryptos ah ?

rotate as in what leh ?
Buy into BTC as digital gold, store it in a cold wallet and keep the seed phrase safe.

Allocate a small sum to buy large cap altcoins, follow the M2 liquidity to buy low, rotate into stable coins when market is up. rinse and repeat.

Crypto's Recovery Remains Unsecure as SpaceX, Anthropic IPOs Loom: Crypto Daybook​

$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ is back above $63,000, but what happened in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last week rings a note of caution.

As the price fell toward $60,000, the 11 U.S. spot ETFs recorded $1.72 billion in net outflows, marking a third straight week of accelerating redemptions. That happened on the total weekly volume of just $18.43 million, according to data from SoSovalue.

Compare that with the first week of February, when bitcoin suffered a similar crash to $60,000. Back then, outflows were just $318 million, but the total weekly volume was $46.15 billion in a clear sign of panic and capitulation, reflecting a fiercely contested market with active participation from both bulls and bears.

That wasn't the case last week, when outflows accelerated amid subdued trading volume. The combination suggests a steady exodus rather than a shock-driven capitulation that typically marks local bottoms.

As such, the sustainability of bitcoin's bounce is questionable. A dramatic resurgence in ETF demand might be needed to put the price on a convincing upward trajectory.

That probability appears low, as looming initial stock sales from SpaceX and Anthropic, two of the largest IPOs in history, could keep sucking liquidity out of broader markets, including crypto.

Further, this week's U.S. inflation data for May, expected to show the cost of living rose above 4%, could add to volatility in both bonds and the broader financial market. Stay alert!
