Episode notes
Bitcoin's Liquidity Versus Thin Altcoins
- Bitcoin's liquidity is deep and held up while many altcoins crashed during the largest liquidation event ever.
- Thinly traded tokens rely on market makers and can fall to near-zero when makers step back during panic.
Avoid Leverage; Stack Sats
- Avoid leverage and prioritize long-term accumulation instead of risky margin positions.
- Stay humble and stack sats to reduce the chance of getting wiped out in volatility.
Leverage Flush Can Reset Markets
- A leverage flush cleans overextended traders and can reset markets for the next leg up.
- Bitcoin's fundamentals remain intact despite violent short-term price swings.
