Seriously, apparently every bull run ever in crypto was done by scammers according to these establishment fuckwits. Same old story every time. God forbid it is actually normal people realizing how fucked up the current system is and then desiring to move their wealth and labor elsewhere.
Let me guess if it wasn't for this whale, tether, willy bot, random scapegoat, etc the price of BTC would be zero. Because who would want an asset that is completely separate from that always awesome store of value called government fiat. No one that's who, only scammers and Whales. Everyone dump your bitcoin for fiat, because its current value is only because of 1 whale, not 2, not 3, but 1.
Fucking geniuses.
This is a super post but I dispute that the last bull run was much about normies waking up if I may paraphrase. For me it was all about drama. Segwit implementation and the NY coup attempt by Mike Belshe et al. fuckwits, with a minor sprinkling of tether fud sure.
But that's the previous bull run and I do think normies are waking up now to the disastrous current system and the bitcoin way of defeating it. Will that fuel this next bull run? I think it's still too soon, and maybe in 6 years things will really take off, when 2nd layer stuff becomes a thing or has been discarded like the proverbial cumrag.
No what we need for the next year or two's bull run is not wanky halvening studies nowadays known as s-to-f, not half-assed fraud attempts by CSW and not delayed Goxcoins, but some fresh drama to light the fire in traders bellies. A massive hack with a new villain. A whale burns half a million coins when he had meant to dump them. A concerted attack on xrp/eos/eth and a gov threat to attack btc.
I demand more bitcoin drama otherwise I'm going to sit here and attack you all with weaksauce memes and lectures on good grammar and we'll only get to 55k ffs. edit
