According to @milesdeutscher, traders should look past headlines about MicroStrategy selling BTC, alleged USDT insolvency, the Japan carry trade, and renewed China crypto bans, calling them distractions from the only thing that matters.

According to @milesdeutscher, the BTC sell-off over the past 24 hours was driven by three headlines: Japanese yields spiking to their highest level since 2008, Arthur Hayes questioning Tether's solvency, and China reinforcing its crypto ban, source: @milesdeutscher on X. These developments cluster macro rate pressure, stablecoin counterparty risk, and policy headwinds, helping explain the current BTC market weakness for traders, source: @milesdeutscher on X.

According to Cas Abbé, crypto investors have endured Mt. Gox’s collapse, China’s 2017 ICO ban, 2019 mining ban, and 2021 full ban, the COVID day when BTC fell ~50%, US–China trade war dumps, five years of India ban headlines, the LUNA/UST $60B wipeout, 3AC’s collapse, the bankruptcies of Voyager, BlockFi, and Celsius, and FTX’s implosion that cut the market in half, plus regulators’ danger narratives, 15+ SEC ETF delays, lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, Fed tightening and QT, whales dumping 400,000+ BTC, the largest liquidation event in crypto history, energy-waste claims, repeated ‘BTC to zero’ calls, MSCI-driven fear, bearish JPMorgan notes, over-optimistic cycle-top targets ($68K → $95K → $100K), and 70–90% altcoin drawdowns (source: Cas Abbé on X, Nov 29, 2025). Abbé concludes Bitcoin remains near six figures and stronger than these crises, implying that after surviving such volatility, selling BTC below $100,000 forfeits the payoff (source: Cas Abbé on X, Nov 29, 2025).
