any1 else believe that crypto coins in general came out relatively unscathed thru Brexit?
Pretty bullish imo
Really? I was told by various cryptoeconomists that Brexit would send BTC through the roof.
Color me unimpressed.
ah, and you thought "through the roof" meant a non-linear jump to something like $4k, right?
Not going
down would've been a good start.
I believe that is part of the point that SheHadMANHands is making regarding your apparent unrealistic expectations.... Even though Bitcoin has experienced several exponential growth periods in price, frequently there will be ups and downs, even during upward price movements.
Furthermore, in recent years, there are more tools in the bitcoin price-setting ecosystem that allow for making attempts to push the price down - whether those attempts are going to continue to be successful will play out over time, but being able to short bitcoin had not been so prevalent during previous exponential price growth periods.
I don't believe those additional shorting tools are going to prevent future price bubbles, yet it may cause a bit more moderation regarding the intensity and duration of upwards price spikes... .but the punchline remains that up and down price movements are going to continue, even as attempts to get weaker hands to sell their coins.
