Comparing Bitcoin Since 2017 to the Nasdaq Dot-Com Bubble [beincrypto.com]
Well-known trader @CryptoCapo_ made a comparison of the current BTC price movement and that of the Nasdaq Composite during the 2000 dot-com bubble, while also outlining the ”emotional phases of a market cycle.” According to him, it is possible that the March 13 bottom was the final low after the ”disbelief” high of June, and the price will continue to move upward afterward.

The higher the spread, the harder it is to get a trade done, although those who manage to buy low and sell high make fatter profits.
The extreme dry spell in liquidity started on March 12, when prices plummeted across the crypto and traditional asset markets. The next day, bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $4,000, a 12-month low.

“[There are] two things where we can observe a dramatic shift. One is, we are seeing a big shift from paper, or touch-based, or physical, to digital. So if Rachel had the choice, then she would not like to go to a physical store if she can use an app to make the transfer possible.
