Just in case anyone didn’t understand that this BTC selloff is mostly a capital rotation story and not BTC-specific. Very easy to click “sell IBIT” in the brokerage account to free up funds for this.
In the long term, BTC will continue to greatly benefit from creation of an ETF. It also becomes more susceptible to short-term capital rotations by mainstream investors.
This rotation should slow (may have already started in the past day) then eventually reverse.
CFTC guidance advances Bitcoin capital markets: 24/7 trading, BTC collateral, perpetual futures, options, and regulated access. Good for $BTC holders, powers the $MSTR engine, and supports the rise of $STRC as Bitcoin-backed Digital Credit.

A US Senator just casually explained how you can store BTC in your brain during a legislation markup:
"It provides people who are being tortured in foreign countries the opportunity to walk away with their money in their head. Because Bitcoin can be memorized."
