BTC triple topped into the ascending triangle which broke down to the downside, an extremely bearish move. I wondered why altcoins are up and I believe it is because everyone is liquidating out of BTC and potentially into stablecoins.
I strongly believe this investment by the US gov into the IRS is to crack down on illegal principles funded by drug dealers, credit card scammers, and unemployment fraud scammers, who use the blockchain network as a web for their operations, I strongly believe this also includes the cartel but I think the cartel > is way stronger than the government and we'd never come for them, but actually, that would make more sense into why we're funding out IRS as a military at the moment, fascinating.
Just to explain how this web works. Someone can pretend to be you, order unemployment debit cards to YOUR address, stand outside of your house, and catch any mail that would've notified you of this activity. They will then proceed, to deposit this let's say for example 10k into BTC. They will then proceed to advertise to people "hey, send me 5k, and I'll double it, to 10k and send it to you" these people take their tax-paid cash hard-earned and then send it to the scammers. These scammers now have 5k in clean free cash flow, and the victim who sent them 5k is going to be sent 10k in illegal cash flow. Now the blame is spread across the American people. And just imagine what was happening when stimulus checks for thousands of dollars were floating through to people that didn't know if they were eligible.
Another point I also have is that most BTC holders don't pay their fair amount of tax on capital gains. Even these public millionaires I believe use the BTC as a tool to escape taxes. Anyone can simply say "oh, I lost the crypto wallet password, I have no capital gains" which is technically true because I have sent crypto through the wrong network before and lost it, however, exchanges account for that information and I'd be safe. However, these degenerates who think the government isn't a mafia, are going to be taken by surprise by the amount of taxes they will need to pay, forcing them to liquidate. This second point is dependent on how the IRS classifies BTC, because if it's property, then things are different because you don't pay capital gains on your house, but you do pay a property tax year over year so there's that, they'll potentially put in a "Billionaire Bill" which forces people to liquidate and pay taxes for owning their property based on a percent. If not treated as property and instead as an asset or currency, then spitball fire and this is gonna be a messy slaughterhouse of taxes needing to be paid, I believe both possibilities lead to a bearish decline to at least 21k, then a potential 19k, I'll see if 18-19k support holds, then go in, but if not we could see bearish lands of 11k but I don't honestly see 11k happening unless huge market activity pushes this sentiment.
