Bitcoin is an asset that doesn't like when leverage is applied to it. I remember when
@CorySwan tried to popularize the term LBE (Leveraged Bitcoin Equity), presumably because what made
$SQNS stand out against the rest was that it had more debt than the others. I thought LBE was terrible branding because all it did was advertise the weakness and froth in this market. The company had no revenue, was leveraged to the tits on an asset that also has no revenue, so guess what the short sellers did? They shorted the stock into oblivion so they couldn't raise more capital, and then stop hunted their liquidation price on the underlying BTCUSD, and they essentially got liquidated. The truth is nobody wants to allocate to bitcoin when you hear about all these zombie companies with no revenues levering up their balance sheets. It just sounds like a frothy overhang that needs to be cleansed, and it scares people away. And I honestly believe the only reason the suitcoiners have been able to buy so BTC, was because they co-opted the narrative and degraded the culture so much, that the OGs and true believers got demoralized and sold. If the suits didn't come in, I bet most of those OG coins never would've hit the market and we wouldn't have all this sell pressure. Not to mention, these treasury cos are extremely capital inefficient vehicles to buy bitcoin. If you want BTC price appreciation, you want Wall Street capital flows to come into the ETFs, because at least with those $1 invested actually represents $1 dollar of spot volume.
