Let's continue from here
Bitcoin fell because the stock market fell, and now it recovered because it also recovered. This is the opposite of "antifragile", since it follows the stocks/global economy instead of being a hedge against it
Correlation is not causation
More specifically, you can't even compare the stock market with Bitcoin in a meaningful way as soon as you try to dig a little deeper. But you can easily fall into a trap of misleading numbers which make such comparisons possible and highly appealing for their ease and seeming simplicity. Bitcoin and stocks are two entirely different classes of assets even if both classes are valued in the US dollar
people like nassim taleb because he's ridiculously opinionated and talks never ending shit, but he's crazy
I actually agree that Taleb is mostly a fountain of empty verbiage and vacuous rhetoric. You can call it bullshit and him crazy if you please, I don't really mind (or care). However, let's not throw the antifragility baby out with the bathwater of opinionated talk and mindless rant
the whole concept of antifragility is rather questionable and is hardly documented outside of nassim taleb's invention. its application to bitcoin is even more questionable, although i will concede the possibility could exist if bitcoin had an exponentially larger network effect than it currently does. as it stands, the idea is laughable
I understand that you don't like the term
Just in case, I don't like it either. But I have already come up with another word for this phenomenon. Evolution is the right word for it since the entirety of it hinges on what Taleb calls antifragility. The takeaway is that it is definitely not like "hardly documented outside of nassim taleb's invention"
As I already pointed out in the thread, in a broader context, it encompasses all living and even some non-living matter (e.g. crystals growing and dissipative structures forming) decreasing their own entropy and increasing the entropy of the world around them in a way the second law of thermodynamics doesn't get hurt in the process
