Verily, the tech stocks and crypto markets have been cast into the abyss these past fortnight, a calamity wrought by the fickle expectations of a rate cut, as Charles Edwards, the wise founder of Capriole Fund, did proclaim on the platform of X. 🕊️📉 “As the market doth revert,” quoth he, “so too shall Bitcoin be carried aloft, though by what winds, none can say with certainty.”
