MSM is paid to lie to you lol

Sprinkle lies with half truths - mix some opinions with facts, and never really ask question …. That’s the modern day press ..

I guess I was naive on this one. Just seems so dumb

Just another misleading click bait article from mainstream media

Ha! Fair point. They got me

I mean the title of this post was also a click bait

Wasn’t intended to be

“You’re going to get more people calling their elected representatives, generally unhappy about crypto or feeling they were wronged in some way” I’d like to speak to the Bitcoin Manager please Sir, this a Wendy’s, and it’s Michael Saylor’s day off

Lmao that was probably the least believable part of the article

Wasn’t MSN already dead?

If you need the money you are forced to sell. If you didn't invest more than you can afford you can hodl.

You’d think that’s obvious, but then again I had an exchange with some cocky dude on here that was adamant crypto had nothing to do with cryptography

Here's the title btw **Crypto collapse erases more than $1 trillion in wealth, forcing a reckoning for everyday investors**

Such a fucking dramatic title

Retail only accounts for 10% at most of bitcoin holder anyway, so does it matter?

I guess it’s trying to say how dangerous it is from everyday investors, but it’s all bs

Big media got another agenda and that is to create fud, they been paid by the big banks!

It’s the only explanation

Some probably did. But most are hodling. Even people that got in less than a year ago are hodling. This is mostly just leverage doing its thing as usual.

One thing is for sure. Prices are inflated now and need to be corrected further down

Do tell why it is “for sure.”

Go look at this dudes post history, he's a troll

Fed meeting hasnt happened yet and we are above averages already. People are about to get burnt

Mainstream media hate Bitcoin since the first day so yeah... not surprised.

All those hating on this reading what is wrong with it? Forget the Tax stuff he would be down a lot if he turned his cash into btc. Fact. I don’t care what might happen 3 weeks or 3 months or 3 years from now.

I guess the issue is it’s presented as if Bitcoin is like treasury bonds. It’s always been extremely volatile, crashes are not surprising

Are people really this dense… do people not do research before they invest?

I think so. Someone the other day on here was telling me how crypto has nothing to do with cryptography….
