Are you ultimately grateful that SBF dumped the price of BTC last year?

Don't take me the wrong way: he's disgusting, but if not for him being disgusting then the price of my portfolio either now or next year probably wouldn't be recognisable due to how much BTC I purchased in Oct-Dec 2022 - I understand that you'll have investors that have to sell their holdings for the need for their short term liquidities, but all those that sold because they thought it was a damnation of BTC (or effectively any cryptocurrency at that time) itself have themselves to blame for conflating FTX with BTC (et al). Even back in late 2022 I was very glad to see the price of my BTC dump, given that I could just buy more.

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...
