Just been watching the bond markets and honestly, it's getting messy out there. Rate hike bets are climbing again and yields are all over the place. Bitcoin's feeling the pressure too, which makes sense when traditional markets are this shaky. Funny how we're back to worrying about rates after everything that's happened since bitcoin emerged in 2008. Back then nobody was even trading bitcoin price in 2008 terms - it barely existed. Now here we are, and bitcoin's moving with the macro backdrop just like everything else. The fear gauge is definitely ticking up. Reminds me why bitcoin was created in the first place - to sidestep this kind of central bank chaos. Whether it actually delivers on that promise when bond markets crumble is the million-dollar question.
