While on-chain selling has been minimal, #Bitcoin has been stuck at the lower end of its price channel. Why?. Technical experts have suggested that paper trading is the reason. Here crypto legal-expert Caitlin Long elaborates on the idea:.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED here about this๐งต(thx for all the engagement!).1) what do u mean by paper #bitcoin?.2) is all leverage bad?.3) why so sure that a leverage-flush reckoning day will come for bitcoin? Gold investors have waited forever. 4) can't traders hedge the risk? (haha, no).
