Bitcoin Survives Venezuela Strike! 🚀

by

Lo! The sages of the financial realm, ever watchful, declare that the US strikes on Venezuela, though violent, were but a fleeting breeze in the grand tapestry of market forces. The assault, delivered at the crack of dawn, lasted but a trifle-30 minutes, as if the cosmos itself had paused to yawn. 🕒

Michael van de Poppe, that paragon of fiscal wisdom, penned on X that “a widespread correction” is not to be expected, for the event was preordained and has already passed the market’s gaze. “It is a planned and coordinated attack,” he mused, “and the market, ever the spectator, has moved on.” A sentiment echoed by others, who argue that true chaos brews when traders anticipate worse. 🤔

Bitcoin: Market Moves And Liquidations

Behold! Bitcoin, that steadfast titan, clung to its $90,000 throne. CoinGecko’s data revealed a 1.50% ascent, elevating it to $91,320-a triumph of resilience. Yet, amid this triumph, $60 million in liquidations loomed, a reminder that even the mightiest may falter. 🧊

I don’t think we’ll see a widespread correction based on the attack in Venezuela on #Bitcoin.

It’s a planned and coordinated attack on Maduro, and is already past us.

The likelihood of more negativity on the markets from that single event are relatively slim.

I would assume…

Recall the fateful June 2025, when Bitcoin’s price plummeted like a stone cast into the abyss, from $106,000 to $103,000 in the span of 90 minutes, following the tumult in Tehran. 🌍💥

The market, ever the dramatist, fears escalation. Yet here, the specter of further strife seems but a whisper. 🧊

Meanwhile, the US national debt, that ever-growing specter, surpassed $38 trillion, while the crypto enthusiasts celebrated “Genesis Day,” the anniversary of the first block mined by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto. 📉🎉

Happy Bitcoin Genesis Block day

Paolo Ardoino, that stalwart of stablecoin lore, toasted the occasion, while Sam Callahan, the strategist of OranjeBTC, joined the chorus. For many, the Genesis Block remains a beacon-a monetary system capped, not a prisoner of fiat’s endless printing. 🧊

Yeah generally the market really nukes when we expect things to get worse afterwards which doesn’t seem to be the case. Could see this actually bring some green to the market as people take this as a sign of strength tho

Community Reaction And Context

The crypto community, ever the dramatists, viewed the strike and the rising debt as two sides of the same coin, or perhaps as a duet in the grand opera of market chaos. 🎭

And so, the market, though stirred, remains calm-a testament to the enduring faith in Bitcoin’s strength. Or perhaps, a mere pause before the next tempest. 🌪️
