Looks to be about $46k now... I'm sure this is "good for Bitcoin"
it seems pretty clear that one is strongly related to the other... which like Elon's randomish tweets just goes to show how fragile and immature the crypto market is.
Tbh I don’t think short term price volatility of cryptocurrency is particularly news worthy.
Seems like it is an important part of a currency.
So I think you can have it either “bitcoin is irrelevant, and thus wild value swings don’t matter” or “bitcoin is a proper thing which is appropriate for a country to adopt as legal tender”, but you can’t really have it both ways. The El Salvador thing makes the volatility important.

A 10% daily drop in value for a national currency is usually a sign that that currency isn’t long for this world.
