My put place was similar to a cheeky brief place. I believed ‘You already know what? I feel that the Fed goes to resume the financial institution time period funding program, there may be some banking stress.’
Bitcoin did swoon a bit in March 2023 when the banks began going underneath. Possibly it’ll be slightly bit related this time. I believed it will break $40,000 – it did.
It solely went all the way down to $38,000 or one thing, it didn’t actually proceed going. I assessed the market, and thought, it’s probably not doing what I would like it to do, and the choice charges are killing me, I’m simply going to shut these items. And Bitcoin is on its approach again up.
I imply, I’m lengthy as f**okay anyway, it doesn’t actually matter anyway on the finish of the day. That is simply attempting to make some additional shekels so I should purchase some extra beers for my boys.”
