    Yellen said 2 things today that impact BTC.
    1. will investigate use of crypto in financing terrorism = bad for BTC
    2. low interest rates for a LONG time = good for BTC
    Not sure what to make of it. I imagine it'll hurt BTC short term, but be good for it long term. I want to buy the possible upcoming dip (MARA/RIOT) but not 100% confident.

    I decided against buying mara at current price. If it goes down further I will consider the risk/reward again. The environmental concerns are real, the higher price gets more power will get consumed, inviting more scrutiny. Not every country has "green" energy

    If it gets to $15 you better get in. This feels like a panic-sell-off based on Yellen's terrorism concerns. She's just saying buzzwords. Lol.

    @Ziggy instead of worrying about the climate people and the flippening, decided to buy a smol position in VIH as a hedge instead. Valuation is really expensive for something with only 100k users in beta... but this market keeps rewarding risk. Will add if it goes down.

    edit: crypto bros feel free to chime in with honest opinions. do you think bakkt is viable or it's coinbase forever?

    Pure propaganda that was EATIN UP by so many. It's like Trump propaganda. Pure hit-piece. After Yellen's comments too. Interesting few weeks ahead for BTC.
