Not a BTC investor, but it still cracks me up that the crumbs left over in my phone wallet from the pizza days are worth more than the phone cost. I'll likely never do anything with them, but its funny to track.

Did you notice that severe dip in the Dow back on April 8th inke, it took BC all the way down to $74k, both bottoms within a day of each other of course. "US stock market futures fall" Was the news a few hours ago but the index continues to trade sideways, as does the crypto. I'd be very wary of the stock market if I was a crypto hodler right now, it's poised for a huge selloff, the tariffs being the trigger nominally but it'll really just be a normal repricing, the eradication of all the BS gains since Obama went money printing.

Sadly it will take trillions of pension dollars with it, all money that people like Musk have already milked from their corporations. That's how the system works though hey. But the crypto (if you look at the price chart) is due for it's big cyclical selloff anyway. Do you have any predictions on how low BC will go this time around? 10k, 20k? We're really in uncharted waters hey, there is no reason it won't exceed the last lows, that pattern could be broken by the super-cycle low (1933).



Why is BC linked to the stock markets?

A few reasons, not definitive.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')itcoin futures ETFs have been around for a while, these ETFs do not hold any bitcoin and only hold futures contracts based on the future price of bitcoin. This makes them potentially even more volatile than bitcoin itself.
Bitcoin mining stocks. Bitcoin mining is a real business in which companies own and operate large data centers used for mining bitcoin. Some of these companies are publicly traded, allowing you to invest in the operation of mining bitcoin and the profit mining companies make in the process.

Freedom, Decentralization, & Unity: Stay True To These Principles & The Future Is Ours, Says Ross Ulbricht
Whose Ulbricht? He's the guy who just out of prison for running a website based on bitcoin transactions. Yes people actually do exchange BC peer to peer; drug dealers, pedofiles, arms dealers. All the offscouring of society. I suppose he's working on a new way to enable these criminals while keeping himself out of the Big house. Time will tell. Where was this BC conference held? Las Vegas of course, home all the hopeless gamblers
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')“Bitcoin’s power comes from the fact that any one of us can mine if we choose to, and any one of us can generate addresses if we choose to,” stated Ross. “Any one of us can send bitcoin to anyone else. We are all on equal footing with Bitcoin. With Bitcoin, we are all free.”

Some lies just take longer to expose than others. look at the Iraq war for example. Everyone knows it and Afghanistan had nothing to do with "Enduring Freedom" Iraq was a police station to pressure Saudi Arabia and Iraq and that aspect failed. It was also about stealing oceans of oil, and that sort of paid off. Afghanistan was about cheap opium for Big Pharma and that was a success, so successful in fact that it led to an Opioid epidemic in the United States.

I think most people understand all this now, and if thy don't, then there is no hope for them whatsoever. Be careful of the word freedom. When anyone uses it what they are actually referring to is Enslavement.

When are you going to admit it inke, that the fortunes of BC are inextricably linked to the fate of the US stock market? I've posted on the correlation going all the way back to the first significant rise and fall of the token. BT is not independent of the blob as claimed, it's owned bought and paid for by the money shufflers. All the claims of financial independence are Lies based on false assumptions. Your entire crypto portfolio is based on a LIE.

$101,857. Where's this big leg up inke keeps telling me about?
Perhaps it's in the silver market? $55.1/oz aussie, new all time high I think. I grabbed 30 extra kg 2 years back, good move.

After June 6 the Dow Jones turned up again, dragging BC along, as we now see. This "pop up" and sideways shift in stocks is still continuing with modest gains daily.
