Nice thought, but it's probably just a coincidence. The stock market has drops like this all the time, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with Bitcoin.
That's backwards. His point was not that bitcoin investment affects the stock market. It is that the impending stock market correction will result in an increase in bitcoin investment. I agree.
Oh, I agree with you on what the OP's point was, I just disagree about the whole cause and effect thing that you're both proposing.
