    Anyone notice how far crypto dropped? I think Tesla’s next, then maybe AI at same time or right after

      Crypto had it’s black monday.

      The fall may have been accelerated by portfolio insurance hedging (using computer-based models to buy or sell index futures in various stock market conditions) or a self-reinforcing contagion of fear

      Algorithms and feedback loops gummed up all the crypto exchanges and liquidity disappeared.

      The crypto tide went out and we all saw who wasn’t wearing any shorts.

      Wasn’t that just a temporary drop so that some whales could get richer on shorts?

      Isn’t crypto being massaged by trump atm, so erratic is kinda the new normal? (And, not erratic from trumps view)
