Bitcoin has failed. It doesn't scale as a currency and its not a store of value. The cost of mining is simply too expensive and as an ecosystem its hemorrhaging a billion dollars a month. What's the net present value of an asset that loses a billion dollars a month, forever?


Short it and gain free money if you’re that confident.


Shorting a manipulated market is a fool's game.

Example: https://www.theblock.co/post/156031/uprise-lost-99-of-client...

> However, the system could not prevent the firm from being liquidated out of its LUNA futures trading position and losing 26.7 billion won ($20 million) in the process. This happened during Luna's price crash. It was reportedly shorting Luna — while its price plummeted — but got caught out during sudden price pumps along the way.

> The lost funds represent about 99% of the funds that Uprise was managing on behalf of its customers. These clients are high-net-worth individuals and corporate entities, according to the report. Uprise also reportedly lost $3 million of its own funds short trading LUNA.

They were absolutely correct about LUNA, and still got wrecked. Bart (https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin-price-bart-simpson-char...) will murder you.


If "head and shoulders" wasnt enough, now theres a name for an asset that fluctuates in a stable horizontal pattern?
