Bitcoin bounces back 50%

What’s supposed to be the most volatile asset in the universe is proving to be a bastion of stability compared with wild swings and carnage in global equities this week.

[Bloomberg]
 
Bloomberg is becoming the Daily Mail of finance news
 
Who cares? It's up and down like a [-]whore[/-] yo yo. Useless for anything but [-]gambling[/-] speculation.
 
There is a dude in my office that borrowed just under a bar from his dad to invest/gamble in BTC.

Gets mocked mercilessly about his magical coins
 
You mean my accurate predictions? Must hurt such a passionate fanboi as you. Feel free to RBP me as you have before.

He’s like a Church of Scientology member so he will never concede a point in a debate, all these rabid Bitcoin boys are.
 
Bitcoin is sitting at less than half of what it was barely 3 months ago. Not sure how that's the bastion of stability.

this is the problem with just looking at percentages without the actual numbers

moving from 70k to 105k is indeed a 50% increase, but its half of what it was a few months ago

base effects matter

compared with the DOW for example, yes it dropped 20% or something, but unlike bitcoin, it still is at all time highs, the same can be said for the JSE.
