Anti fucking fragility

Maybe the storm is over, maybe not.

But here's a fact: Bitcoin trading is 24/7/365. If someone wants to liquidate a billion USD worth of bitcoin right now, sitting on their toilet, they can. Price is still good and well within error-margin of the stock-to-flow-model by PlanB.

The "traditional" markets were halted, needed trillions of fiat-money injections and still went down. Let's see how they are doing on Monday. I wish them luck and high returns, but ...

... who's holding the highly-speculative asset now?

Bitcoins volatility is like a clearing bush-fire. Sure it sucks if you have a bush-fire. But better having it here and there, than suppressing them over years or decades and then have a fucking inferno on your hands.

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
