Reddit post says BTC fell 1.5% while S&P 500 and QQQ dropped
A Reddit r/Bitcoin post claims that over the past week the S&P 500 dropped 2.5% and QQQ dropped 6.5%, while BTC was only down 1.5% and never dipped below 80k. The author says this is impressive given oil soaring and elevated yields and expresses growing confidence in further gains once macro conditions improve.
