Today in Crypto Twitter: ‘Blow to Bitcoin’ (2020-04-29)

Billy Bambrough’s ‘Blow to Bitcoin’ Collection

Those who have been following Bitcoin via traditional financial media outlets probably know Billy Bambrough, who frequently writes about the first and foremost cryptocurrency for Forbes. Those who follow his work more astutely may or may not have noticed a certain undeniable trend. As Bitcoin maximalist @hodlornaut pointed out on Twitter earlier today, Bambrough — or, at least, his editors at Forbes — really love to start their headlines off with the same “Blow To Bitcoin” formula.

After scrolling through Bambrough’s catalogue of Bitcoin-related bad-news pieces, one thing is clear: Bitcoin has weathered more blows than Floyd Mayweather’s punching bag.

Are You Really Shorting Into the Bitcoin Halving?

Shorting Bitcoin since its colossal dump earlier this year has become something of a meme lately, with Crypto Twitter’s bears ‘adding to their shorts’ the whole way up. Given the current global economic situation, the money printer going brrrrrrr and Bitcoin’s block reward set to be halved in less than two weeks, do you really think you should be gambling to the downside?

(Something something not financial advice.)
