$BTC [Is] Done. Cooked. Toast. EL Finito.

You had a hell of a run - well played. But now it is game over. It always was based on hype, not fundamentals. Now that the mo is gone, all you are left with is the chart and narrative. You can’t defend the valuat…

Crypto Is A Victim Of Its Own Success

The traditional “fundamental” case for bitcoin has been that because its supply is permanently capped at 21 million coins, it can serve as a hedge against inflation in traditional currencies such as the dollar. But th…

Bitcoin’s Plunge Should End The Hype That It Is Digital Gold

That said, gold has been a good store of value over the long term, and its correlation with equities is low. In this respect it is a proven alternative to the U.S. dollar, whereas Bitcoin is neither a vehicle currency…

Bitcoin Is In Its Final Stages

Bitcoin is in its final stages. Hundreds of billions have been invested into something with literally zero utility or intrinsic value. It was created by gamblers, pedophiles, and criminals, then sold to the masses t…

The $126K ATH May Have Been The Final ATH

Despite unprecedented support from the media, Wall Street, and government, Bitcoin is trading below the $69K ATH it first hit in Nov. 2021. At no point in its 16-year history did Bitcoin ever trade below a prior ATH f…

Bitcoin Is Still About $69,000 Too High

This week has shown us that the supply of “greater fools” that bitcoin relies on is drying up. The fairy tales that have been keeping crypto afloat are turning out to be just that. People are beginning to wake up to t…

Bitcoin Has A Floor Price Of Zero

Every time I ask a Bitcoin true believer to explain why they think it has any long-term value- beyond the ability to convince someone else to give them more than they paid for it- I come away more certain that Bitco…

Our BTC Price Target Is 0.0

Our BTC price target is 0.0. That's not just for shock factor. It's where the math takes us. It's not worked as a dollar hedge, rather it's just a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq. It's not gaining…

Michael Burry Warns BTC Crash Could Deepen Into a Death Spiral; More Declines Could Mean Bankruptcy For Miners

Peter Brandt Warns BTC Echoes 1970s Soybean Bubble

Interview With Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar: We Sold All Our Bitcoin and Switched Entirely to Ethereum

Of course, I would prefer to hold Ethereum. Frankly speaking, if Bitcoin and Ethereum were invented on the same day, no one would have heard of Bitcoin today. Unfortunately, Bitcoin was the first token in the crypto w…

The Bitcoin Time Bomb Is Ticking

Beyond that, though, not much remains of Bitcoin’s early, idealistic vision. There was admittedly some democratisation, as over 50 million people bought Bitcoin — more if one includes people who’ve bought shares in fu…

Peter Schiff Says Bitcoin's Recovery Is A 'Dead Cat Bounce' While Gold Makes Another All-Time High

Bitcoin also made a new high today, trading above $126K. But it terms of gold, it's still about 15% below its record high. I still think it's too early for Bitcoiners to get excited about the rally. Until Bitcoin can…

I Was Far Too Optimistic About The Us Coming To Its Senses About Sensible Cryptocurrency Regulation

I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitc…

Ethereum Could Become A Better Store Of Value Than Bitcoin – VanEck
