Good morning! A brief thought for today:
Look at the number of posts, not the price
It's interesting how the "bitcoin is dead" crowd is appearing out of the woodwork, just like they did the last time in 2012. Amidst all the angst, one might think that there was a shred of truth to it. The people selling everything and getting out certainly feel that way. They're looking at the wrong metrics.
Of course, one could just look at the number of posts on all the bitcoin forums, which will quickly demonstrate that there are more posts than there have ever been before. The previous bull markets didn't come close to the post volume there is nowadays.
People who are panic selling because "bitcoins are dead" might want to consider: is there any other technology in the world that is "dying," but where the number of people complaining about its death is growing by the day?
