That is a whole lot of BTC sales that are hanging over the market. That along with mtgox funds and ETH2.0
ETH 2.0 is a big danger bomb because it is a big Shitcoin experiment and if it fails it would cause a huge FUD wave again like Terra Luna did. And in case of such event, we really need to teach for everyone A LOT: Bitcoin and Altcoins are completely different tech and should be treated separately.
I tried to educate people because stupid Shitcoiners are still poorly educated:
Bitcoin has crashed really hard but we also need to mention what's important:
Bitcoin wasn't responsible for what happened, Bitcoin was safe, working as usual and as usually proven since Bitcoin was started. It was caused by a single, very risky ALTCOIN, where fundamentals of were not proven sufficiently. It was a weak Altcoin causing a huge crash.
An Altcoin, where no link to Bitcoin's tech was around. Bitcoin and Altcoins are totally independent, still people are getting FUD and sell Bitcoin causing a crash.
People should be aware for a similar situation: Bitcoin wasn't responsible for what happened, Bitcoin was safe, working as usual and as usually proven since Bitcoin was started. No need to sell Bitcoin.
People need to learn to be wise and don't sell Bitcoin when different Altcoins are having techical problems. It will likely happen a lot more because we have a lot of shady Altcoins!
A very good recommendation: don't sell Bitcoin when a different Altcoin crashes!
After all, such crashes will only re- distribute coins from weak hands to strong hands (HODLers).
To be succesful means to understand Bitcoin is independent from Altcoins and to understand HODL.
A possible ETH 2.0 crash wouldn't change Fundamentals of Bitcoin but people still need to learn how Bitcoin is 100% independent from Altcoins. It's our only chance how we can prevent Bitcoin's price crashing, when an Altcoin fails again!
Why would we want to provide misleading information in order to make a point that is likely to be shown not to be true?
In other words, fuck shitcoins, and I do not see any reason to pump them in this thread; however, there are various ways that shitcoins are intertwined with bitcoin - and an overwhelming majority of them are hanging onto bitcoin's apron strings to receive various kinds of protection.
The price performance of various shitcoins does not always correlate to BTC, and surely those shorter periods of some level of reverse correlation tends to be nice, and the BTC price pump of April to June 2019 ended up being somewhat even more memorable because of the extent to which shitcoin's did not pump during that particular bitcoin pump....
I am not really against your sentiment wagmi... beat on shitcoins whenever and wherever possible.. when in doubt bash a shitcoin; however, I find it problematic to proclaim bitcoin to be 100% detached from shitcoins.,. especially since bitcoin likely increasingly touches all segments of society and the various markets, including that a large number of shitcoin's admittedly hitch their wagons to bitcoin.
....as JJG will tell you I don’t know much about honey badger.
That's true.
Shitcoiners are just profiteering off of Bitcoin by linking Bitcoin and Altcoins.
Exactly. You admit it.
We The royal we need to educate here how Bitcoin and Altcoins are 100% not linked.
You seem to have meant the royal we... therefore, for funzies, I fixed it for you.
