I saw this article in my twitter feed; t'was interesting. The S&P500 is now more volatile than bitcoin.

Methinks that the increase in bitcoin adoption has done its work in reducing volatility.

it was only last year that bitcoin rose 2600% in price. then it dropped 71% in price this year. how does that compare to the stock market? Wink

these news sites are just generating clickbait headlines. stocks experienced some short term volatility, while bitcoin experienced the opposite. not much of a story. within a few months, and certainly by the time bitcoin enters another bubble cycle, bloomberg will be singing a different tune.
