I miss the WO from 10 years ago
I’m eating a baguette, reading this BS today and thought exactly the same.
What happened to this thread, man.
Don't worry, it's a cycle. It'll pass.
I'm not sure. I think WO spam cycle theory might be on the way out.
Me too...

You'll be back.

You better!!!!
Why is the S&P 500 falling (currently down about 10% from ATH) while Bitcoin is not falling but trading in the $60k - $75k range?
War→Oil↑ → Inflation↑ → Interest rate still high → Stocks↓→ Bitcoin ↓↓↑It's falling. Just looking more resilient since it recovers faster.
You seem to be saying that bitcoin might have had front loaded the crash? But there still may be more crash, so the front-loading the crash theory only works if there ends up being recovery from here.. and the various status quo state actors seemed to have had created a quagmire that is not easy to get out of, even if everyone were to agree to cease firing (which seems doubtful with the given level of hubris in the talking points of some powerful fingers who think that they can bully their lil selfies through the mess that they had instigated."

In udder wurds, don't be pussying out on "us"
(royal, perhaps?). There are a lot of fucktwats chiming into this thread and otherwise fucking up aspects of the world out of control motivations and/or incompetency motivations, and it can be difficult to know the extent to which those chiming in on a thread like this are PsyOps who are distracting/derailing on purpose or if some of them might just be a wee bit retarded.
There seems to be a pretty high level of desperation coming from governments, institutions and status quo rich, whether we are thinking about our
(likely naturally god-given) freedoms to communicate with other human beings and/or our abilities to transact value without being controlled and/or monitored and/or overly burdened.
that is your biggest strength as you are not delusion and realize the lack of importance of winning the argument when 100 years or more from now have passed.
If we all think this way then how nice it will be for all us to work or sit together. For some people winning an argument is like winning a battle.
Yeah, but there are various personalities in the world, and it would be difficult to agree upon a certain way of interacting, whether you proclaim such ways of interacting to be "more civil" or not.

For "reasons."
In other words, I have no fucking clue - except maybe there could be some tinges of decoupling and/or lack of correlation that is going on that seems to be within bitcoin's intrinsic characteristics to not be correlated with various traditional assets and/or commodities and/or financial instruments. Bullish news has no power in a bear market and sometimes it seems quite odd to me just how sentimental people are. Only extreme examples would work.
So nothing short of the USA announcing they are buying 1M Bitcoin for their reserve... by next friday will not work in this market.

It's falling. Just looking more resilient since it recovers faster.
And what is common for this type of market is that even when war stops, prices don't go back up as they were before the war.

I am tentatively thinking that one of the ONLY negotiated solutions would be to give up Trump or some other high level (ranking) figure over to the Iranians, and then they might possibly perhaps be willing to concede to allowing things to somewhat go back to where they were prior to the attacks - even though the level of damage to their people and infrastructure seems quite high.... even though we are ONLY slightly more than a month into such crazy developments.

Still, Morgan Stanley news is very significant.
When such heavy-hitters launch something like this, they expect a relatively lengthy uptrend.
Granted, we don't know at which btc price they would launch at, but from that point on it would likely to be mostly up (with a up to -10% initial reaction possible).
Personally, I am changing at least some some of my IBIT and FBTC in ret accounts to MSBT.
I get the sense that some of these BIGGER players don't really give too many shits about which way the price goes since they make a lot of money from both volume and the inclusion of more clients into their various products, and they may well not even give too many shits if the asset (bitcoin in this case) is rehypothecated, even though many of us realize that the value
(and power) of bitcoin come from the ability to hold and/or transfer the actual product, rather than paper derivatives of it.
