    Anybody still want bitcoin as our main currency??

    Imagine holding onto a currency that can fluctuate 10 20 30% in a month.

    All cryptocurrencies tanking.

    This thread suddenly became very active :D

    It's a very good buying opportunity, same as in March of 2020


    Bitcoin as money, store of value, like a savings account

    Yes, you can use it as a currency to pay for goods and services, but for every day expenses, it's better to use stablecoins as your checking account i.e. usdt which is like crypto fiat

    You don't spend you savings every time you want a Chipotle meal, do you?

    What are you whining about? :sneaky: We're practically where we were just 3 weeks ago. Also according to this article, you should blame it on "margin calls"

    Iran-Israel conflict, negative funding rates triggered $860m crypto sell-off


    Friday’s crypto market liquidation was largely triggered by heightening fears of conflict between Iran and Israel, according to QCP Capital.

    Historically, geopolitical instability tends to drive investors away from riskier assets like cryptocurrencies, seeking safety in more stable investments.

    This shift often results in sell-offs across risk asset classes, as observed in the recent downturn.

    In the last 24 hours, 261,054 traders were affected, and $860.82 million in assets were liquidated as the overall crypto market cap plummeted nearly 5%.

    QCP Capital also observed the ETH risk reversal indicator played a significant role in the liquidation. The firm noted on Friday that there was a notable downside skew in the Ethereum risk reversal, which signaled a potential drop.

    The risk reversal’s bearish skew indicates that traders were betting on ETH’s price dropping, a sentiment that likely stemmed from its use as a hedge.

    This technical indicator proved accurate, as ETH’s value dropped over 5% to $3100. Typically, speculators holding long positions in altcoins use ETH puts to protect against downturns, making ETH prices particularly sensitive to shifts in market sentiment.

    The fear permeating the crypto markets was palpable, further reflected in the negative swing of perpetual swap funding rates.

    These rates plunged to over -40%, marking the deepest negative funding this year and signaling a strong bearish sentiment.

    Additionally, this anxiety crushed the forward curve, with the front end falling below 10%, highlighting a bleak short-term outlook for cryptocurrency prices.

    This situation is more interesting from the perspective of crypto's price reaction to world events. In a war scenario such as WW3, crypto will not be the go-to in a flight to safety -- similar to gold. Just like stocks, investors/traders will flee crypto and the price will plunge in reaction global military conflict.
