What are the chances of another "China bans bitcoin for the 97th time" story sometime between now and $1242....

i think this story not find readers any more

they will come up with something new

maybe they will try to promote disapproval of the ETF as a catastrophe (if it will not get approved)but we all know, no matter what, Bitcoin road long term is only UP!
Indeed. I'm considering shorting before the allegedly 'catastrophic' ETF news causes the inevitable selling, just so I can accumulate more coins prior to the impending shot at the moon!
That's a huge gamble.
Everyone thought the US would ban Bitcoin before the last ATH, and people dumped in droves in the hope of buying back lower. When the US announced it had decided not to ban Bitcoin it immediately went to the moon leaving the dumpers crying.
If the ETF gets approved the dumpers will be crying while Bitcoin immediately moons, and if it doesn't get approved Bitcoin will moon sooner or later anyway.
