Thanks Donald “no new wars” Trump
Correlation not causation.
If price drops – Bitcoin drops below $73,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran
If price stayed the same – Bitcoin hold steady at $73,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran
If price went up – Bitcoin rallies past $73,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran
Wtf is this headline. Unreal
Crypto has been pulling back since before that though.
I have been out of the crypto world for most of the year, checking my portfolio every now and then before going back to ignoring.
There’s absolutely zero point in DCA when things are as volatile as they are. Watching everything just bleed out has been somewhat disheartening, especially when you see how much it was thriving barely 18 months ago.
You are an idiot if you think the crypto market exists in a bubble isolated from the broader macroeconomic implications of this war. The market dropped because the peace talks — which were always just BS — failed, and this war is not ending.
The only question I wonder, how come the stock indexes are practically at all time high, but Bitcoin is dropping for some time now, from over 100k to almost 70k now?
ps: I can see two options, why that is?
1. Money goes from Bitcoin and other assets to AI stocks.
2. Bitcoin is in a cycle, and it is time to consolidate earnings, and people sell their Bitcoin.
Or is there any other possible reason?
It’s all over! Panic sell everything right now!!!
AI swallowed up all of crypto gains
when sonic gets attacked he loses coins. I’ma keep picking up the coins.
lol, was it not at $68k just 2 months ago?
Yeah but why AI stocks keep going up
I think the price of bitcoin and other cryptos have gone down is because all of the tech bros are spending their money on AI. They were probably the “whales” who were manipulating crypto in the past.
These news doesnt make any sense!
Iran closes hormuz btc go down
Iran open hormuz btc go up
US closes and soon after iran also closes hormuz btc go up
Now after how many weeks btc go down, these news doesnt make any sense. It is like find any reason why btc go up/down and then write news about it -.-
Which makes no sense, because of anything – this has made it more likely Iran will keep locking down the strait for BTC
