Not really sure why $10,000 is acting like hot coals. It’s not a magic fucking pot of gold, why are people treating it as so?
HODL !
We have always had various price sticking points in BTC... ask Torque.
Doesn't seem unusually to me that the price sticking points are going to occur at various round numbers, even though some people are going to argue until they are blue in the face that there is some kind of manipulation or conspiracy... which seems like a decent amount of bullshit, even though if some one wants to attempt to manipulate, it is likely going to be a bit easier to attempt such manipulations and to attempt to take advantage of a pre-existing condition for as long as they are able to accomplish such.. and the longer the are successful in manipulating the price in such sticking point, then the more violent becomes the potential of the break out.
Maybe,
if we really are connoisseurs of violence, we will get "lucky" and have the BTC price maintained in the $10k arena for two more years... ?
Edit:A catastrphic study by IEA:
Bitcoin energy use - mined the gapAs the price of bitcoin skyrocketed in 2017, attention turned to the cryptocurrency’s energy and environmental footprint. High-profile news articles reported that electricity use of the bitcoin network had equalled that of medium-sized countries and was on track to consume as much electricity as the United States in 2019 and all of the world’s energy by 2020. A widely reported article in Nature Climate Change warned that Bitcoin emissions alone could push global warming above 2°C.
By 2024, the heat from bitcoin mining would cause the planet's crust to crispen and catch fire, ending all life forms in complete heat death. By 2026, the earth's heat would be so hot that the planet would likely implode and supernova, creating the galaxy's first twin sun solar system born of the artificial negligence and hubris of mankind. Bitcoin will kill us all...very soon.
Tsk tsk...these journalists these days, just can't be bothered to do the extra research and correct their articles. There, fixed it for them.
hahahahahahaha
Speaking of the devil... I swear that I did not time the gratuitous mention in my above post to be coordinated with Torque's posting of various conspiracies.... hahahahhahahaha
