Bitcoin fell to under $18K on Sat., below the high of $19,511 it hit during its last bull cycle in 2017, as ether dropped below $1K, both down 70%+ since Nov.

Bitcoin plunged through several closely watched price levels to the lowest since late 2020 as evidence of deepening stress within …

    Ok, bitcoin under 20k feels like an over-rotation. The underlying fundamentals, adoption, and infrastructure have never been stronger. We saw the irrational top. This feels irrational in the other direction.

    And there it is: dark blue (70% below ATH)! Most indicators (S2F, RSI,200WMA, Realized etc) are at extreme levels. Does that mean that all indicators are “invalidated” “debunked”? No. Investing is a game of probabilities and indicators give situational awareness: BTC is oversold.…

    Bitcoin will be fine. Smart contracts will be fine. DEX will be fine. NFTs will be fine. DAOs will be fine. Lenders, shitty funds, charlatans, scammers, they're all going to die. Then we can get back to work and start the next cycle off a higher low.

    The whole point of crypto was supposed to be that it was free from regulation. Instead, Cryptobros who gambled everything on a volatile asset based entirely on speculation and harassed anyone that warned them about said volatility lost everything, for which I have zero sympathy. …

    The reason why it's important to look at web3 flaws in a down market is because the flaws don't seem as believable in an up market. In an upmarket if you buy a token and tell a friend to join a network, everyone's happy. In a down market, it's very hard for the network to spread.

    One way to think about bitcoin is it's an Uber-esque mega unicorn startup that IPO'd in like 2017, everyone who was in before then are the early employees who made out like absolute bandits from their stock options, everyone since then are basically retail investors https://twitt…

    I have no remorse for Saylor! He gave advice to people that have little to no financial markets / finance experience and told them to sell their family home and/or business to buy bitcoin at the top of the bull market. This is account could not be more the inverse. Family first.

    At least we all learned valuable marketable skills taught by crypto trading in the 2020-2021 era that should easily transfer to other jobs like shitposting, combing chat groups, waiting in virtual lines to buy pictures, & giving lots of money to sketchy websites to win lottos.

    In the last hour, Bitcoin fell to a minimum of $19,200, Ethereum fell below $1,000, and the total market value fell below $900 billion. The Nasdaq is down 5% in the latest month, but Bitcoin is down 34%. The liquidity crisis caused by the lending institutions has caused panic.

    Uh-oh. That is the tide going RIGHT out. I had the feeling that $20k was a sort of resistance price for Bitcoin - that there were lots of automated orders to buy if it hit that price, supporting it. If those are used up, we enter new (margin call) territory. https://twitter.com/.…
