Every single time that I - a) have a tinfoil-ish theory b) am sober enough to remember it c) am sober enough to type it out and click "submit" - it's not fucking Tuesday!
So here I am, a day late and 0.0038 BTC short. Disclaimer that I am by no means an expert in cryptocurrency. So please take any thoughts on things like BTC forks and valuation with a grain of sand (from the motherfucking beach)!
Does anyone else think that the timing of the recent market seizures has anything to do with anticipated spikes in BTC value around August 1st?
The SR1 coins were held for a really long time before they were sold at auction. But it was a Brave New World then, one with many fewer options to lock in current value (which worked to their advantage anyway).
The Cazes indictment was almost 2 months old (and the arrest was almost a month old) when it became public knowledge. Operating Hansa under siege didn't exactly seem like a moral dilemma - they ran that place for a month. Revisionist history leads me to somewhat believe that "they" were somewhat facing down a gun barrel as the final days of July approached.
Am I way off here? Many of you have a much broader understanding of markets and cryptocurrency than I do. Does anyone here see reasons beyond coincidence and/or striking when the opportunity presented itself for when Operation Bayonet went down?
If there is merit to the idea that the timing of these strikes fits within a larger agenda, what are some of the predictable next steps to occur?
My babys gone Tuesdays goooonnneeeeeee
