The Bitcoin environment was all frothy based on pending ETF approvals. There were too many traders using margin. They got a lesson this morning about “selling the news.”

This is why Bitcoin is speculative at best. It is not an “investment” in the traditional sense of the word. I am a long term Bitcoin holder...this type of “whiplash” is pretty common and happens every few months to one degree or another.

How liquid is Bitcoin, really? I’ve always wondered if the price listed on the markets is actually what you can realistically get.

It was sold as a medium of exchange, everyone views it as a lottery ticket.
