  I want to know how many moms listened to Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow et al and invested in crypto. I want to know how many of them just watched their money disappear. I want to know how empowered they feel being “part of the conversation” now. https://twitter.com/...

  50% chance that $25,840 / $1,715 was this cycle's bottom, thought I'm still taking the under.

  During mania phases dozens of friends and family come out of the woodwork to ask if they should buy bitcoin. This week, only one has asked. Contrarianism is hard!

  As always I agree with Cobie's assessment. Memories are short and human greed is bottomless so eventually we will see a bull market return to crypto. However a lot of tokens, NFTs & DeFi protocols will go to zero before this is all over but $ETH & $BTC will make it & live again. …

  When you bought the $BTC dip 320 times but it still keeps dipping https://twitter.com/...

  Fwiw I think eth and btc will see new all time highs in the future. Dunno how long it will take but believe it will happen. Cannot say the same for any of the rest of this stuff though, think a lot of it can go down another -95%, valuations w locked stuff still insanely high.

  You were smart, did your own research, diversified yr magic beans... 1 yr returns (in filthy debased $) Bitcoin: -52% Ethereum: -57% Ripple: -75% Dogecoin: -90% (But of course the *real* OGs are just buying the dip!)

  In the last few months, the price of Sydney houses is up 50% in bitcoin

• @carnage4life @carnage4life on x

  As an example, median house prices in Seattle are up 2x ($425K vs $900K) from their peak before the crash of 2008. In under 15 years we went from $400K is unreasonably high for a house to $800K is a bargain for the same home. I can see $BTC & $ETH doing the same someday.

  #Bitcoin is the best hedge against #Inflation. Since $MSTR announced its first BTC purchase August 11, 2020, bitcoin has appreciated 149%, outperforming Silver (-17%), Gold (-9%) Nasdaq (5%), S&P (18%), CPI (11.2%), M2 (19%), US Homes (28%), & PPI (33%).

  #BTC is still trading like a highly volatile tech stock, despite the crypto-native drama of the past 24-48 hours. US CPI is due on Wednesday - a reading at or below consensus should support US equities and therefore ease the selling pressure on Bitcoin. https://twitter.com/...

• @charlesarthur Charles Arthur on x

  Its “goal” of hedging against inflation? That was never the goal. One goal was to be a digital currency; the other was to make it impossible to expand its supply arbitrarily. Succeeded at the second, but not so far the first. https://twitter.com/...

  This is cause for concern as the company's subsidiary MacroStrategy took out a $205 million loan from Silvergate Bank in March 2022, with a portion of their BTC used as collateral against the debt. MicroStrategy then used the proceeds to continue the firm's acquisition strategy.

• @cointelegraph @cointelegraph on x

  Global markets have suffered major losses in early May and Microstrategy's stock has not been spared. MSTR has seen its value drop by 24% and the value of Bitcoin has also slumped considerably along with the wider cryptocurrency markets.
