In June 2019 I posted a batch of X updates that captured community sentiment around Bitcoin, regulatory news, and emerging projects. I keep the same first‑person voice I use across my X archives.
I noted that $BTC alone was at a $200 B market‑cap, while the entire crypto market cap was only about $100 B a few days earlier.
I recorded a price target: “Bitcoin takes aim at $100,000 target.”
I shared a near‑term prediction: “Most predict 15k, won’t be surprised if $BTC breaks ATH here.”
I reported that the EU announced an operational channel to circumvent SWIFT and Iran sanctions on 2019‑06‑29.
I warned that India was proposing a bill that would jail crypto users for 10 years.
I criticized Libra, noting “Calibra is a custodial digital wallet. Users won’t manage keys.”
I described the alt‑season mood: “Alt season is at the bottom of this disgust.”
I called out influencer scams offering paid endorsements ranging from $25k to $250k.
I likened owning 1 Bitcoin to owning 700 acres of land in scarcity terms.
The anti‑fragility narrative – framing Bitcoin as an #AntiFragile system that thrives on volatility – emerged as a core cultural motif for me in this period. I decided to foreground that theme in later reflections. see July 2019 posts
