So what was the impetus for the price run up and what’s changed?

---

Price increase: institutional adoption through ETFs, bitcoin treasuries, and sovereign wealth funds

Price chop/decrease: people that got in on bitcoin early and held for a decade or more offloading significant amounts of coins for billion dollars.

Why does this keep happening other than they are in their own ideological bubble?

There is no other reason.

They are not trying to tell good stories or make money. They are trying to indoctrinate the audience.

And because they are not trying to tell good stories, they need an audience that is already baked in to the product to make sure there’s an audience for their propaganda.

Hence all the “reimagining,” i.e. propagandizing, of established brands like the Witcher, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, the MCU, Ghostbusters, Oceans 11, Doctor Who, etc., etc., etc.

I’ve seen people whine about posts like this being “political” and not appropriate for this board, but this is so prevalent in the entertainment industry right now idk how you can have a discussion of most movies/television without at least acknowledging the Marxist propaganda.

Lots of theories about yesterday are making the rounds on cryptotwitter this morning: Whale games, technical issues, algos run amok, etc. Did Trump insiders crash it on purpose? Did Binance/CZ purposely dump? Was it a technical issue on Binance that spread across the market? Did AI bots over-react? Whatever it was, it was the biggest in a good while, and there was no real reason for such a large drop.

We want a reason to justify it, and some want someone to blame. It is what it is, and I've been around long enough to just shrug it off, but it is curious. I hope for a green day, be it ever so small.

Lol there’s no mystery. It was Trump announcing 100% additional tariffs on China effective November 1.

All markets were down bigly yesterday and it’s the same reaction to the tariff announcements on liberation day back in the spring

A little on the nose for Red China to have a ginger spew their propaganda.

The propagandists are out to protect their fellow propagandist.

Was the Zingbot killing and unsure of who the murderer was too soon? Should BB maybe not went that route with what occurred with Charlie Kirk?

It was clearly set up like a western show down, so no.

They should have “went another route” because it was cringe tho.

Cover for the ads that replaced the palmetto trees on the field.

They do look good though.

I think people are really overvaluing the commercial free aspect in the hierarchy of popularity.

I think you undervalue not having “WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER” or whatever asinine ad of the day blasted into your face intermittently for seven hours.
