on top of that shorts got absolutely wrecked as price punched through 1,000 about 34.5 million in short positions liquidated in a matter of hours
grayscale's been actively pushing the scarcity story too 21 million coin hard cap same framing bitcoin uses hard money narrative meets growing demand for financial privacy
