$BTC just ate a $1B liquidation cascade in 48hrs — dropped from $81k to $75.2k while the "digital gold" narrative got wrecked again.
Here's what actually happened:
U.S. equities flipped from best day of the year to worst in 24hrs. $BTC moved in lockstep. The trigger? AI chip selloff, not some on-chain black swan.
Grayscale called it 2 months ago — said $BTC was decoupling from tech stocks and moving toward gold correlation. That thesis just got nuked. Correlation snapped right back.
The real issue: $BTC keeps bouncing between "store of value" and "risk-on growth asset." 17 years in and it still hasn't picked a lane. Identity crisis continues.
Macro liquidity is king. $BTC isn't immune to TradFi contagion when risk-off hits. Don't get caught thinking narratives are permanent.
