New-paradigm talk marks the top; Bitcoin topped with the MSTR narrative, like AI and metals

Both the AI and metals top was actually quite obvious in the moment. Anytime people start talking about a new paradigm it’s over for that trade. Bitcoin was the same with MSTR https://t.co/4Xm3dwKtjw

In The Press

BeInCrypto·7mo ago

"If you are buying STRC in the UK, it is a lot more tax efficient to buy it via the 21Shares ETP… gains on sale are generally subject only to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK, with no income tax on the product itself"

Benzinga·10mo ago

"Once that overhang clears, the market could see a sharp release of upward pressure, potentially reopening a path toward $100,000."

CoinDesk·11mo ago

"Even though I believe the bottom is in, the market will feel max pain in one of those two scenarios... both bitcoin and MSTR will rally hard."

CryptoSlate·1y ago

"Long-term holders have sold more than 362,000 BTC, equivalent to approximately 3,100 BTC per day, since July, and that pace has quickened over the past three weeks to nearly 9,000 BTC daily."

Cointelegraph·1y ago

"Reduced volatility works both ways, and the crushing drawdowns common to crypto markets will also dampen the meteoric gains traders have become accustomed to."

Bitcoin Magazine·1y ago

"Coinsilium has raised £1.25 million to kick start its Bitcoin treasury strategy. A WRAP retail offering of £250,000 is on offer to provide retail investors the opportunity to participate. We are laser focused on our bitcoin treasury strategy."
