The hipster music discussion has devolved into 35 year olds trying to out-cool each other with what they listened to and frankly that’s the hipster spirit, right there
Jon Cooper turned a 102pt first round exit into a 106pt first round exit
Lindy Ruff turned a 79pt 14 year playoff drought into a 109pt second round exit and Atlantic Division division title
Lindy Ruff was robbed
I can’t even describe the whiplash I felt coming out of the theater and thinking “holy shit that fucking rocked” then getting on YouTube the next day to see all the fat reddit virgins shitting and pissing their pants because it “ruined their childhood” or whatever
[High Impact Winter Storm] A major winter storm will bring heavy snow with blizzard conditions and power outages possible. High confidence in 1 to 2 feet of snow across eastern MA/RI, but more uncertainty across western MA/CT dependent on the western extent of heavy snow.
So here’s the issue you get influencers like this guy have a quarter million followers and they claim they don’t know why it is declining… it’s because they don’t understand basic mechanics of price discovery.
They don’t understand that the marginal buyers or the float determines price they think the onchain bitcoin is that is the price discovery
Well, it was once upon a time but now..
Once you can synthetically manufacture the supply, the asset is no longer scarce and once scarcity is gone, price becomes a derivatives game, not a supply-and-demand market.
This is exactly what has happened to Bitcoin.
This is the same structural break that occurred in gold, silver, oil, and eventually equities once they became derivatives-dominated.
The original premise that no longer exists
Bitcoin’s entire valuation logic was built on finite supply (21M) and inability to be rehypothecated.
That died the moment:
•Cash-settled futures
•Perpetual swaps
•Options
•ETFs
•Prime broker lending
•Wrapped BTC
•Total return swaps
were layered on top of the chain.
From that moment forward:
Bitcoin supply became theoretically infinite.
Not on-chain in price discovery.
The metric that explains the collapse
Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR)
Once you can synthetically manufacture the supply, the asset is no longer scarce — and once scarcity is gone, price becomes a derivatives game, not a supply-and-demand market.
That is exactly what has happened to Bitcoin.
This is the same structural break that occurred in gold, silver, oil, and eventually equities once they became derivatives-dominated.
Why Wall Street can now “trade against” Bitcoin
They do exactly what they’ve done in every commodity market:
1.Create unlimited paper BTC
2.Short into rallies
3.Force liquidations
4.Cover lower
5.Repeat
They are not “betting” — they are manufacturing inventory.
The same 1 BTC can now support:
•An ETF unit
•A futures contract
•A perpetual swap
•An options delta
•A broker loan
•A structured note
All at once.
That is six claims on one coin.
That is not a market.
That is a fractional reserve price system.
