To reiterate - because I have a feeling it may come up down the road - it's not bitcoiners' fault that governments over-spent and killed their currencies.
In 2011 when Gox was hacked & BTC market-dumped to a penny, that was the entire ecosys.
In 2012 when pirateat40 blew up, that swung the market 50% in a few days. 1/
Binance, Kraken, Coinbase: never lost customer money. DoJ &/or SEC go after them.
FTX: biggest fraud since Madoff & customers rekt. Politicians accept millions in donations from SBF, and the bureaucrats get cozy with him
Gov just keepin us all safe right? ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I have no opinion on whether Bitcoin is entering a bear phase or not, but here are some things people say in every bear market, that have been proven wrong every time: 0/
8/ So by comparison one top-ten coin blowing up, representing less than 5% of total crypto mcap, doesn't phase me too much.
But maybe I've just seen too many things at this point.
- buy cheap land in the middle of nowhere with a small river on it
- build vortex turbine
- add Bitcoin miners
- add Starlink
- create blocks, get rewards
