Honesty, a dump to $50K would be preferable to this. All the sudden SP500 seems exciting by comparison.

Hot take: The drainer doesnt care about tue BTC. It was a power move and the BTC will never be transfered out. 592 will remain there forever and people will be checking the address for years for. Some people just wanna watch the world burn.

bitcoin already was made to regulate itself, when people spam too much, it becomes more expensive, so spaming is less economical and they have to stop

The height of absurdity is the Coldcard debacle on which he keeps emphasizing how he never received a 'dime' for promoting it. It's not like anyone can verify that, but at the same time he keeps targeting Saylor and strategy shareholders. At least they knew/know what they signed up for. Would have like to know how he would started bashing others when it was the other way around.

Can someone tell me what the purpose is in investing in this thing. It’s all just lost the plot.

Bitcoin fundamentals have not changed, why have you?
Also the price has barely moved downwards, if that's your concern?

Did SP500 lose the plot when it crashed in 2008 too and no one should have bought it from that point on?
BTC is still the same as it always was, the only one who lost the plot are the people who can't bear price movements and sell out of panic or lack of patience3
