You were implying it. Not ok.

i wasnt i was simply stating the risk on risk off differences seem to be diminishing.. or to me they do..

i would think it means nothing (less) is safe not that less things are risky..

bitcoin now up over 18K with eth near 1.4k with gold on the rise at 1885..

gold has always been considered risk off.. odd that its on the rise along with bitcoin.. just something i notice..

bitcoin now just over 21K and seems to be holding its position well..

i think 16K was the bottom and we are now seeing a slight upwards recovery trend.. but that is just my own oppinion.. :)

I've theorized that a Tether collapse would cause BTC to spike, as people flocked to safety. We're not necessarily seeing a Tether collapse, but instead a Binance issue / BUSD, which would match my theory.

You can't withdraw USD from Binance. The easiest way to get your money out is to sell all your Binance-USD for BTC, then use BTC to escape Binance. A large number of people doing this would cause BTC to spike in value.

---------

Not like I have any proof that this is happening mind you. But that's my mental model of the past couple of weeks.

There's some plausibility there.

the negative sentiment surrounding bitcoin is slowly changing.. as it becomes more positive the price of bitcoin will start to move back higher..

looking for reasons beyond this simple fact is a waste of time..

US markets are off 2% on the day, and have leveled off in the last hour or so. It's always possible they could crash, but it's a bit Chicken Little to call one at this point.

2% for an index such as Nasdaq is actually a pretty big movement. Both S&P and Nasdaq are in decline over the past month. I see the crash happening in slow motion now.
