buying a bit of BTC

S&P 500 FUTURES EXTEND DECLINE TO 4.1%, NASDAQ 100 SINKS 4.6%

This is some of the biggest bear porn ive seen since covid crash

VIX almost at 50

some of the worst correction in tradfi since covid

is why im buying

everybody is shitting their pants

I am aware that this isnt the most sound "investment thesis"

however I will just DCA into BTC spot as I believe its the pristine crypto and frankly only one that I can consider an actual investment rather than short term speculation

I will be very happy if I get to buy BTC much lower too.

I do expect USA to get very angry at China for biting back, and if USA does put even MORE tariffs on China that leads to another nuke in stocks, therefore in crypto.

Have a great weekend.
