Crypto’s Little Meltdown 📉🤣

by

It appears the fickle goddess of fortune has decided to play a decidedly uncivil game with those engaged in the pursuit of…digital baubles. Bitcoin, that most ephemeral of currencies, has experienced a decline – a mere slip, of course, for those with the fortitude to view it as such – falling below a level considered, by the entirely too earnest, to be ‘crucial’. One shudders to think what the merchant tailors are saying.

The lesser coins, those amusingly named ‘altcoins,’ have fared even worse, naturally. One suspects they lack the inherent style necessary to withstand the tempest. This has resulted in – and one says this with the utmost lack of surprise – the rather vulgar spectacle of nearly a billion dollars being spirited away in ‘liquidations.’ A most untidy affair. 💸


Just a week ago, these digital dreams soared, buoyed by a pronouncement from the American Federal Reserve. But alas, fleeting joy is the hallmark of modernity! The smart set knew better than to believe it would last. Now, the descent has been precipitous, marked by harrowing days – Monday and Thursday, no less – wherein fortunes were lost and reputations bruised. One imagines the champagne cellars are rather quiet.

Bitcoin briefly flirted with recovery, a charmingly futile gesture, before succumbing once more to the ‘bears’ – a positively beastly moniker for those who dare to question the prevailing mania. It now languishes beneath a level deemed ‘crucial’ by the relentlessly analytical Mr. Martinez. Though it has rallied a paltry thousand dollars, one doubts it will sustain such exuberance.

Naturally, the oracles of the financial world are offering their pronouncements. The predictably gloomy Mr. Schiff declares it a ‘bear market.’ How terribly déclassé. Others, like the cheerfully named ‘Captain Fabrik,’ remain strangely optimistic, predicting a surge to one hundred and forty thousand – as long as Bitcoin can reclaim a resistance level. The sheer audacity! 🤔

Meanwhile, the altcoins, in their collective inferiority, have followed Bitcoin downwards, posting losses of a frankly embarrassing magnitude. Ethereum, poor thing, has fallen below four thousand! And XRP struggles to cling to its paltry sum. It’s all dreadfully dramatic, isn’t it?

And so, the over-leveraged – those who foolishly believe in the possibility of effortless wealth – have suffered. Over two hundred and twenty-five thousand have been ‘liquidated,’ their positions ‘wrecked’ – a particularly evocative term. It seems a certain degree of folly is always required for these financial escapades. 🤷
