Overall, this kinda jives with my eventual crash expectations and what a number of people who are (decades in) to the financial industry have said:
basically, crypto will eventually go to 0 or pretty drat close. I know people don't love my wizard TA poo poo as it were, but there's a gap in price of the butts™ at around $400. I'd still love to see it fill.

Also, in a surprise to nobody - the entire crypto community hates Robert Reich, even though I poured through like 10+ of his videos and can't find anything he is even wrong about.

there will always be demand for something that allows darknets to work, but to people who are obliged to actually use it as a currency high prices and price swings are downsides. i think this is part of the reason why so many transitioned away from the extortionate bitcoin into the much much cheaper and illicit transaction designed monero.

Weird. This is the first time I've ever seen him mention crypto. Normally he just talks about bad govt policies and/or good ones.

I was just thinking that zuck is the perfect champion of these 3d spaces, because his basic-rear end appearance and lifeless eyes can be perfectly rendered by even the simplest engine. He should go all the way and cut off his own legs though, imho.

Probably when there’s another market crash of some kind. It seems very correlated to growth tech stocks and other speculative investments. As institutional and retail investors get more or less comfortable increasing their ratio of speculative investments then bitcoin will probably follow. I don’t think the hodl cult has any real impact on prices but that’s like my opinion man.

I've been thinking the same thing. I'm burned out on Crypto Thing #3770 was a scam and all the crypto is stolen. We need something big like another price nosedive to bring back the magic.

Well, unlike this from https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/boom

Which happened when we said inflation was 8.3% instead of 8.5% forecast or something for US CPI (US consumer price index/inflation), this happened last night:
https://twitter.com/financialjuice/status/1559782183321075713

Bitcoin proceeded to go up very sharply at the exact moment it was published and then drop like a rock after. It also confirms some TA magic this morning towards bearish, and nothing is clear at the moment - but whoever played the "inflation = number go up" game clearly didn't intend for the same with this last set of inflation metrics. Bitcoin has stopped going up with the market as well and is basically doing whatever the hell at this point anyway, as it stopped correlating to the dollar index (inversely) and stopped correlating to the stock market. In short, BTC is drunk right now.

I don’t think it actually involves going outside.

Please, he's not planning to kill you in the metaverse, he just wants to take all your money. You know, like other ethical individuals such as Trump, Musk, Bezos.

It seems like the Metaverse is marketing itself aa what Second Life was trying to be before social media, especially Facebook, got popular and killed it. Just probably a LOT less kinky.

I don't think Zuck has really seriously considered how people would actually use it at all. He just is convinced they will and that Facebook (excuse me, "Meta", lol) must be the VR market leader at all costs.
