Happy Monday, Blockfolians
The Lede
Sometimes, a tweet says it all.
In all seriousness, this is a great milestone. Check out CoinDesk’s chart showing the other high points.
This stat does two things:
First, it shows that bitcoin is able to remain stable in periods of an extreme lack of clarity in the markets as a whole. That’s confidence inspiring for those on the sidelines.
Second - and speaking of confidence inspiring - every time bitcoin achieves a new price floor that is higher than the last, it increases the conviction of long-term holders , who then reinforce that price floor by buying any time BTC dips below it.
See the beautiful feedback loop?
