Sell While You Still Can

X (Twitter), Jacob King
Bitcoin’s entire value is propped up by 2 things: Tether manipulation and pure speculative gambling. It’ll collapse just as fast as it pumped. I like to call it a giant game of musical chairs. When the music stops, 99% will be left standing. Unrealized gains aren’t profits. Saylor, El Salvador — they’re in too deep. Don’t follow them. Sell while you still can.
