Welcome to Thursday Folks! Linda Listen, Bitcoin is NEVER EVER EVER going to ZERO; got it? Max Raskin, NYU Professor of Law, said it and Michael Saylor has said it in addition to the fact that Bitcoin will out last us all (ie. you will be dead before Bitcoin is dead.) Bitcoin will survive a global economic crisis and might even be at the bottom of this cycle and up is the new direction.
Even the Bank of England is saying Crypto crash survivors could grow to rival Amazon. Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to struggle while it awaits the merge to PoS; same with Cardano. Stablecoins continue to grow and currently occupied 3 positions in the top 10: USDT, USDC, BUSD. An oldie but a goodie has returned to the scene: Murad Mahmudov and he thinks the bottom is in as well - even Ben Cowen is saying the bottom is near.
It appears the ProShares short ETF was a nothing burger so far, UofC is teaching Bitcoin, and the RFIA has been placed on GitHub to get comments.
