Here’s Why We’re HODLing

It’s time to once again look back at the most memorable Weiss Crypto tweets and community feedback in the past seven days.

The markets have gotten pummeled over the last week by the China-fueled FUD as miners in the country were forced to shut down their operations.

Marija Matic took note of the bearish sentiment in her article, also making sure to mention the resilience of Chinese miners. They decided to hold on to their Bitcoin (BTC, Tech/Adoption Grade “A-”), as if anticipating the price recovery:

Then, earlier this week, Bitcoin shook the markets by plunging to test its May 19 lows. Alex Benfield laid out what happened ... and why our team was — and still is — long-term bullish on the King of Crypto and the broad market.

Miners are forced into leaving China? The hashrate will simply migrate elsewhere.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pressuring countries to stay in a suboptimal, old-school financial environment? Instead of buckling under pressure, countries will find financial independence with crypto.

Indeed, as Sam Blumenfeld so eloquently put it:

So, in the future, when you hear that the crypto sky is falling down, simply do as we do and HODL.
