Gostitelj "Mad Money" pojasnjuje, zakaj je prodal svoj Bitcoin

Jim Cramer je to razkril 21. junija med intervjujem za CNBC Squawk Box, v katerem je navedel številne razloge za svojo odločitev o prodaji.

“Sold almost all of my bitcoin. Don’t need it,” Cramer je dejal, citing China’s mining crackdown as the primary reason. He acknowledged that Bitcoin is a direct threat to the Beijing regime and its tight grip on capital flow within the country.

Cramer has previously described his Bitcoin ownership as an alternative to a cash position. However, he is becoming increasingly concerned over regulatory pressure in the U.S. as well as in the Far East.

A number of U.S. politicians and lawmakers have outright derided crypto assets due to their role as a payment method in recent ransomware attacks on American business targets.

Kitajska strahovi naraščajo ... Še enkrat

Zdi se, da je Kitajska glavni vzrok za prodajo, vendar je Bitcoin od začetka maja izgubil 45%. Ko je govoril o naravi stvari na Kitajskem, je Cramer dodal:

»Ko se LRK loti nečesa, imajo običajno svojo pot. ... To ni demokracija. To je diktatura. Mislim, da verjamejo, da gre za neposredno grožnjo režimu, kajti ta sistem je zunaj njihovega nadzora. "

Ker big mining crackdown and resultant exodus, Bitcoin’s hashrate has plunged 48% to current levels of around 89 EH/s. It hasn’t been this low since late October 2020. Cramer commented on the premise that BTC prices should increase if mining is limited:

"Namesto da bi mislil, da bi moral bitcoin naraščati, če je prepovedan ali če je strožji za njegovo kopanje, Bitcoin pade navzdol, kot da bi ljudje rekli" Moram unovčiti "- ko omejite rudarstvo, bi se moralo očitno dvigniti razen če ne bo prišlo do svetovnega odkupa. "

Šibke roke prodajajo Bitcoin

Zdi se, da se je isti stari FUD v zvezi s Kitajsko in še enimi zatiranji, ameriškimi predpisi in celo strahovi Tetherja spet pojavil, da bi ukinil še en bikovski trg.

Weak hands will sell-off and panic, while those that have seen it all before are likely to hodl through the pain until the next upswing.

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor appears to be one of the latter, having purchased a further 13,000 BTC yesterday, worth around $490 million at the time.

At the time of press, Bitcoin was trading down a further 3.5% on the day at $32,900. The asset has slumped 19% over the past seven days and is in danger of dropping back below $30K again.
