so this is the reason for BTC to be crashing so much? Basically 1. Janet Yellen said a a thing and 2. BTC and TESLA are now directly attached to one another... how fucking fucked can we be...

Reminder BTC was created to counter 2008 crisis, if it dumps with the stock market crash it will be officially failure of concept partially.

It was in the genesis block.

He put the headline from The Times 03/Jan/2009 'Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks'.

A copy of that newspaper is now worth more than 1 BTC.

There are a hell of a lot less of them printed than 21m and it looks better in a frame than a private key.

Search the hoarders attics if you know any, there'll still be a few out there.

The policies of the Democratic party are converging on this point- we need green energy, but green energy sucks. What do? Force limits on energy-using technologies.

Ironically this is going to force crypto into a pure right-left divide. Double ironically it means Kenfucky will soon be more advanced/richer than Massachusetts as red states increasingly adopt pro-crypto stances while blue states move to ban blockchain, nuclear power, space travel and other futuretech in the name of "muh environment" or some other banality.

You're a nescient newfag. Those are justifications.

A) We aren't crashing, we're correcting

B) BTC was below $30k within the past 60 days. Nothing goes straight up. These corrections are regular in a bull market...just fucking buy and wait.

It's not really anything new to say, but leftism really does function in terms of theoretical dogma rather than using ideas that are actually proven to work. "Nuclear energy bad, if green energy doesn't work we just throw money at it until it works. Reality must conform to my beliefs even if it is physically impossible for it to do so."

followup.. with the grid reliability is what matters, having a peak output drastically higher than the baseload is actually a problem. Storage is exponentially more expensive than production, and power has to have a place to go.

in that light nuclear is pretty much the best option (until fusion which is always apparently 50 years in the future) . the waste issue is probably 90% FUD, as with proper fuel cycling the eventual waste has a half life of about 50 years. If it's radioactive enough to be a problem, it's also radioactive enough to be used as fuel.

Fuck jimmy carter and the anti-proliferation faggots.

No they didn't. People in Greece couldn't withdraw more than $60 per day from banks. If you don't have a credit card, or if you're maxed out, that credit card doesn't help you (and you have to pay interest on that). Credit cards also are predatory bull shit that take advantage of people's stupidity.

The issue with your statement is BTC is not the same Bitcoin as described in the White Paper.
>You’d know this if you read the white paper..
Bitcoin was a P2P Global Digital Currency. BTC (Core) is a store of value
