Want to know why #Bitcoin hit a new all time high today?

Its because Bitcoin got new superpowers yesterday.

Explainer thread👇
1/ Yesterday a bunch of Bitcoiners launched @SovrynBTC. This fulfils a dream almost as old as Bitcoin itself and marks a new phase for Bitcoin.
2/ For years Bitcoiners have said "Not your Keys, Not your Coins". Yet all the exchanges, lending platforms and financial services using Bitcoin have been centralized... and demanded your keys.
3/ So for years, Bitcoiners have dreamed of creating easy to use, highly functional, decentralized alternatives to centralized services.
4/ DeFi on Ethereum has provided a glimpse of what decentralized financial services could look like, but many of those services have been only 'decentralized theatre' and in any event they did not offer Bitcoin-native decentralization.
5/ With the launch of @SovrynBTC yesterday, there is now a Bitcoin-native way to trade, leverage and lend your Bitcoin. Perpetual swaps and Bitcoin-backed steablecoins are coming.

Soon, there will no longer be a use-case that requires anyone to give up their keys.
6/ So of course #BTC hit a new all time high the next day!

Bitcoin got a new set of financial super powers.
Bitcoiners got new ways to take back control.

Everyone can now easily #StaySovryn!

Short Thread. 👇
First, different countries, employing very different strategies, are seeing similar reductions in R0 over time.

How the Bitcoin bull-run will play out...

...thread, bad news first 😟
Bad news: #Corona Virus is a global shock, possibly the worst in our lifetimes. Entire economies are shutting down, and it will get exponentially worse, before it get's better.
Investments are getting demolished. Companies will shut down. People will lose their jobs.

What will this do to BTC price? Most BTC holders are millennials, many of whom are going to need cash. What do you think they will sell?
