A Lannister Always Pays His Debts But Does Bitcoin?
Hark loyal subjects! Your Queen Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen First of Her Name Queen of Meereen Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons brings tidings from a realm far removed from Westeros yet rife with its own battles: the world of Bitcoin. It appears even dragons are not immune to the frosty winds of economic uncertainty! Over the weekend this 'Bitcoin,' which I'm told is not made of actual gold suffered a rather unpleasant drubbing tumbling from highs not seen since… well since last week apparently.
Fire and Blood...Red Numbers Everywhere!
The smallfolk are murmuring about tariffs and 'recession fears,' whispers more chilling than the Night King's breath. I am told that these tariffs imposed by some orange faced fellow across the Narrow Sea have spooked investors more easily spooked than a Dornishman at a Winterfell feast. This caused a 'sell off,' a term that sounds suspiciously like a Dothraki retreat. Even the so called 'Ether' and the token of 'Solana' saw losses of 12% and 9% respectively. The only thing more volatile than a dragon in heat.
When You Play the Game of Bitcoin You Win or You...Liquidate?
Adding to the chaos it seems many speculators gamblers perhaps were caught betting on Bitcoin's continued rise. When the market turned sour they faced something called 'liquidation,' a term that sounds suspiciously like what happened to the Tarlys. Apparently over $438 million went up in smoke faster than a Baratheon fleet at Blackwater Bay! As for the Ether the damages were at $349 million. Clearly not everyone is worthy to sit on the Iron Throne... or hold Bitcoin for that matter.
A Dragon Knows Value When She Sees It...Or Does She?
Despite the carnage some 'experts' – those Maesters of the financial world – believe this may be a temporary squall. A David Hernandez who claims to be a crypto investment specialist at 21Shares said that the recent rally has lifted Bitcoin up as traders deploy their cash to the market. He dares to suggest Bitcoin behaves differently than other assets. Sounds like wishful thinking to me though I have seen my dragons do stranger things.
The Iron Throne and The $74,000 Question!
However others aren't so sure. A market strategist named Joel Kruger is watching the critical $74,000 level for Bitcoin which marks its 2024 peak. Another seer Tracy Jin chief operating officer of the crypto exchange MEXC ominously predicts Bitcoin could plunge to $68,000. Such uncertainty! Perhaps I should consult with the Red Woman; she at least is usually entertainingly wrong. However I wonder if that is such a low price maybe I should consider getting into this Bitcoin hmmm...
Hedge Against Tariffs? More Like Hedge Your Bets!
In the long run some believe Bitcoin may actually benefit from global chaos becoming a safe haven amidst trade wars. As Standard Chartered's head of digital assets Geoff Kendrick said that the US isolationism is akin to increased risks of holding fiat which will ultimately benefit bitcoin. Color me skeptical. Still a Queen must consider all options. Perhaps I'll task Tyrion with studying this 'Bitcoin' further. He's always had a knack for understanding strange currencies... and surviving disastrous financial decisions.
