Market reality: Bitcoin dumps when the dollar strengthens.

BTC-2,16%

Can the strength or weakness of the US dollar both impact BTC? Then what's the point of holding coins...

Hmm... so no matter how the dollar moves, BTC has to fall, right? That logic is really solid.

Wait, this logic doesn't add up... Is the strength and weakness of the dollar both crashing? So how else can we play?

Both of these statements are completely broken. The so-called "conventional wisdom" in the crypto world is a joke, and it's high time to wake up.

Damn, I was wondering what's going on... When the dollar is strong, BTC also drops, and when it's weak, it still drops? That logic is really incredible.
