Despite global economic turbulence and the volatility of the crypto market, the CEO of Strategy continues his massive acquisitions of bitcoin with a new purchase of 285 million dollars.
On April 13, Bitcoin surpassed $86,000 before plunging below $84,000, without any macroeconomic alerts or exogenous factors. This abrupt reversal can be explained by an unprecedented imbalance in liquidations: $52 million in long positions against only $15 million in short positions, representing a gap of 346%. This anomaly reveals a structural tension related to leverage, where excessive speculative optimism makes markets particularly sensitive to internal corrections.

Indeed, the timing raises questions: BTC's correction is intensifying, and geopolitical uncertainty is settling in. However, Saylor does not waver. For him, bitcoin is not a gamble; it is a conviction. A sharp position, contrary to the consensus, which reignites the debate on the resilience of the maximalist strategy.

Similarly, Bitcoin does not rely on instant performance, but on its resilience due to its decentralized architecture. It follows the same laws of nature, being able to withstand multiple attacks and bans. The parallel drawn in this article between nature and Bitcoin raises an essential question about the model to adopt. Should we prioritize efficiency or resilience, in order to ensure the sustainability of a world in constant digital evolution?

The financial landscape is in turmoil. While Bitcoin, often criticized for its legendary volatility, goes through a phase of relative stability, the S&P 500 is surging like a speculative asset.
