This is just straight up bullshit..
Bitcoin was supposed to be protection from shit like this, not just dump right off right along with the mainstream economy..
I'm pissed..
With all due respect if you believed Bitcoin would somehow be immune to the global economy tossing its cookies then you are a silly sausage.
Bullshit..
Bitcoin is supposed to be the hedge against the global markets tossing their cookies..
I called this shit over a month ago, but no, everyone has been nothing but all "China Virus is sooo bullish guys!"..
I think you guys might be overestimating the pump value on BTC that the China Virus has..
If I was a Chinese guy and had a lot of extra money, sure, putting it into Bitcoin would probably be a good idea rather than holding it in CNY or Chinese stocks..
If I was a Chinese guy with some Bitcoin but not a lot of extra money, I'd be selling the crap out of Bitcoin to buy prepping supplies like food and water to hold up for months without needing to go out..
If this was happening where I live.. I would probably be trading some/much of my Bitcoin for a bunch of 5.56Coin, .308Coin, ParabellumCoin, food, and other supplies, if I needed to..
If this was threatening me, I wouldn't be too concerned about making money on Bitcoin, unless I had so much money I didn't need it all for supplies..
Me personally, I am pretty well prepped already..
If it's time to buy a load of food and gasoline, top up, in this current market I wouldn't need to dip into my Bitcoins to buy these things, nor would it be the most convenient way..
Just saying.. I'm not sure that a Pandemic would be 100% good for Bitcoin..
Not only was the China Virus NOT bullish, but it has absolutely Fing TANKED on ncov.. TANKED!!!
We were on track to 11-15k for the halving before this "bullish" virus and now look where we are..
Thank God I didn't actually depend on BTC to get through hard times like this, because anyone that did would be fucked..
I can't believe I'm saying this, but
the winners right now are the people sitting on filthy fiat cash in the bank and under their beds.. Which is a disgusting thought..
Maybe Bitcoin is just some luxury play thing to just be dumped on in hard times, rather than being the safe haven it is preached up and down to be..
I'm so ready to watch another huge crash right now.. Watch it go to 0 zero right along with everything I thought it would be..
All this time..
To be fair, the "market" wasn't impressed with those bailouts either... S&P is still down 8%.
Yeah.. I don't know what this is going to do to the election, but at this rate Bitcoin is going to be worthless by then anyway so it's whatever..
Bitcoin is long term protection. Long term the Chinese Flu will be bullish for it.
I guess we will see Mr. "ncov is bullish af" guy..
